The all-powerful middle schooler

"Oh, you mean this? But aren't those kinds of things just made up to deceive people?"

"We have to give it a try!"

The students of Shuchiin Academy, who were on their way to school, noticed the black cat emerging from the bushes and immediately surrounded it, pulling out some shiny objects from their handbags.

"This bracelet costs 100,000 yen; it should be considered a tribute, right?"

“This diamond of mine is completely natural, and it has been passed down from my grandmother’s generation to me… although it’s not worth much money now.”

"The gold chain I bought for the dance comes in handy."

They placed the items in front of the black cat and then proceeded with their own ritual.

"Lord Black Cat, please grant my wish!"

"Give my freckles to someone else..."

"I need to get some of the fat from my breasts removed; they're so big they're affecting my running..."

"Meow~!"

Iori let out a low growl, as if to express something, and then ran into the campus.

Behind me, I heard the dejected voice of a human woman.

"Eh, isn't it?"

"I knew it! That was just nonsense!"

"Could it be that we didn't offer enough tribute?"

"Stop coming!"

……

"and many more!"

The disciplinary committee member guarding the gate saw the black cat running towards him and reached out to stop it.

According to school rules, stray cats and dogs are not allowed on campus. Otherwise, if the students are too kind-hearted, stray animals will end up living on campus, and their numbers will surge, leading to a dilemma.

However, the black cat was faster than she had imagined, and with a simple sidestep, she nimbly escaped from its grasp.

"That's unreasonable!"

She was not about to give up, so she mustered all her strength and chased after him from behind.

Sensing the astonishing aura of the humans behind it, the black cat quickened its pace.

As the distance between the two sides grew further and further, the disciplinary committee member suddenly noticed a person standing in front of the black cat.

Natsukawa Masaki, her striking silver hair being her signature feature.

"Natsukawa-kun, please stop that stray cat for me!"

She cupped her hands into a megaphone shape and shouted.

"This is so annoying."

Natsukawa Masuzu turned around with a slightly impatient expression, but when she noticed the black cat's appearance, a look of surprise appeared in her eyes.

This is the cat I saw at the shrine more than half a year ago. It seemed to be quite extraordinary and had caught the attention of the department head.

So she reached out and grabbed it.

"Meow~!"

The black cat tried to evade her grasp, so it made a turn and changed direction.

"A couple of times."

However, Natsukawa Masaki reacted to its feint, grabbing it by the scruff of its neck and lifting it up.

At that moment, sensing the threat, the black cat's eyes flashed, and it activated some kind of ability.

"Meow……?"

The expressions of the person and the cat took a turn at this moment.

Chapter 67 The True Cool Cat Who Was Played Like a Puppet Master.

"Thank you, Natsukawa-kun."

The disciplinary committee member saw the black cat being easily caught and looked grateful. Then he reached out and took the black cat away, saying, "Now, I'm going to send you out of Shuchiin. Remember, you're not allowed to come here again."

What she didn't notice was that the silver-haired girl's expression was very different from before. At this moment, she was looking around with a puzzled look, sniffing her own scent, and then walking away to other places.

The girl's actions were puzzling, but because she rarely made friends on campus and didn't get along well with most people, no one asked her about it.

"Go."

The disciplinary committee member gently placed the black cat on the grass outside the school and returned it to the school.

……

Even now, Natsukawa Masaki's mind was still in a state of stagnation.

"Meow?"

She looked at the unfamiliar eye level and saw furry hands and feet. After letting out a meow, she understood the situation.

[Oh no! It's that cat's power? It swapped my body with itss!]

I was careless; I should have dodged... I never expected to get hit like this.

Natsukawa Masaki was extremely agitated.

Because things have been going smoothly for her lately, she's become a bit arrogant and overly relaxed.

Just like the story the minister once told them about a magical girl world, where a powerful magical girl was beheaded because of carelessness...

Fortunately, the cat she encountered didn't have that ability, and it didn't seem to have any malicious intent.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been so careless.

Is this what it feels like to walk on four legs? It's really troublesome...

She tried to control her body to stand up, but because she was not used to the feeling of doing so, she walked unsteadily, even bumping into a tree.

[Platinum Star!]

The girl meowed, trying to use her abilities to take herself away.

However, the Platinum Queen she had been waiting for did not appear.

How could this be? Shouldn't abilities transfer along with the soul?

Natsukawa Masaki was puzzled.

Or is it that because one's hands and feet are difficult to control, one is unable to control their abilities?

The girl didn't have a deep understanding of 'spirit' and 'flesh', so she had to give up the idea of ​​saving herself and instead seek help.

She believed that a learned and omnipotent sage would surely be able to help her escape this state.

Everything will be alright as long as I see the minister!

But before that, she still needs to be able to control her cat body freely.

This is no challenge for me!

The girl rallied, and each time she learned to walk the catwalk, she became more familiar with it than before. If there were an experience bar, you could see her experience in this area increasing rapidly until she mastered it.

……

"Where is Natsukawa? Has anyone seen her?"

As Nanase was preparing to attend class as usual, she glanced around and noticed two empty seats, one of which belonged to a student who had already taken sick leave.

"No."

"She didn't show up; she must have skipped class."

"Hey, I saw Xia Chuan at the school gate before, that's weird..."

The students sitting around Natsukawa Masaki's seat spoke up.

Of course, the people who care about her the most are her clubmates.

"What's that guy doing? Did he encounter some kind of paranormal event on campus?"

Nishikawa Mori Natsuko frowned.

[Sage, something's happened to the Witch of Greed!]

Rikka Takanashi conveyed this meaning to the boy not far away through her eyes.

"Don't worry, I've already amplified my senses. Zhenliang is on campus and hasn't encountered any danger."

At this moment, Izumi Hasegawa simply conveyed this message to their minds in a faint way.

"Is that guy just trying to skip class?"

"I was worried about her, but she really is a witch, a being who tramples on the rules of the world."

Nibutani Morika and Takanashi Rikka each expressed their innermost thoughts with a single comment.

Hasegawa Izumi simply smiled, a meaningful look in her eyes.

"Since no one knows, let's just leave it at that. If Natsukawa comes to class later, remember to call her to the office... Okay, let's begin class now."

After a moment of contemplation, Nanase Tsukumo held the textbook in both hands and tapped it on the table.

Soon, the class ended.

The empty seats remain vacant.

"Izumi-chan, do you know where Natsukawa-san went?"

Fujiwara Chika ran over and asked.

"Why are you worried about her? Are you two very close?"

Hanase Izumi asked a question in return.

"We're not close, but we're classmates! And Natsukawa-san is a member of your club, right? Why is Izumi-chan being so cold..."

The girl pouted, expressing her dissatisfaction with his attitude.

"As the saying goes, good people are always blessed. Zhenliang may have encountered something good."

He said with a half-smile.

"Hmph, acting all mysterious again! If you don't tell me, I'll go ask Rikka."

The girl grumbled and ran to the other side.

Just then, a commotion broke out in the hallway outside the classroom.

"There's a cat!"

"Whose cat is this? Or is it a stray?"

"It's not like the animals kept in the school zoo either. I know all the animals there, and there's nothing like this."

When Rikka Takanashi heard everyone's voices, her eyes lit up with interest, and she happened to stop the black cat at the door.

"Hey, isn't that 'Chimera'? What are you doing here? Don't even think about running away!"

She recognized the other person immediately, and then saw the black cat speed up and rush into the classroom.

Unfortunately, the black cat's speed was no match for her defense, and he was grabbed and pulled away.

Then, the black cat began to struggle violently, flailing its claws wildly.

"Hmph, even a chimera is powerless before the Evil King's True Eye."

Rikka Takanashi held the black cat's forelegs with both hands and said smugly.

Seemingly realizing that struggling was futile, the black cat stopped moving and stared intently at the girl.

"Meow!"

"Hmm, why does that look seem so familiar?"
