The all-powerful middle schooler

With a simple "Iron Mountain Lean," Hasegawa Izumi knocked the much larger and stronger Hiiragi Gomatsu aside, allowing him to break free in time.

Then came the familiar goal-scoring moment...

Despite trying every possible method, even resorting to near-foul tactics, the outcome remained unchanged.

"How are we supposed to fight this?"

Do it all at once, second time tired, third time exhausted.

Faced with an overwhelming gap, even the most determined members of the basketball team couldn't help but feel discouraged and hopeless.

"Ugh……"

Izumi Hasegawa noticed the change in the enemy's emotions and couldn't help but sigh.

How lonely it is to be invincible, how empty it is to be invincible...

Since that's the case, then I won't pretend anymore!

"pat..."

Immediately afterwards, Hasegawa Izumi made another clean and decisive steal.

"Defense!"

Hinata will continue to direct and arrange everyone's actions this time.

Although their fighting spirit was gradually fading due to the loss of hope for victory, they did not intend to give up the game out of principle.

Just then, they saw the other party make another surprising move.

Hasegawa Izumi stopped just past the center area.

"Hey, he wouldn't be thinking of...?"

"Could it be that he's going to shoot from that spot?"

"Is that kind of thing really possible?"

For a moment, everyone in the basketball team forgot they were still in a game and stood frozen in place, staring blankly at the scene that looked like a performance.

Hasegawa Izumi leaped up, making a shooting motion. The basketball he launched formed an extremely high parabola, but it landed squarely in the net!

"I forgot to tell you, my shooting range is actually the entire field."

As he spoke, he ran back in small steps.

'So, what exactly were we doing before?'

"If we'd told you you had this trick up your sleeve, we wouldn't have dared to fight you; we would have just admitted defeat!"

The feelings of the basketball team members at this moment are hard to describe.

They will probably never forget the shadow this man cast over them for the rest of their lives.

"You're just messing with us on purpose, aren't you!"

Even Chifeng, who has a rather short temper, directly filed a complaint on the spot.

"Don't get me wrong, I don't have that much free time to target you."

Hasegawa Izumi slowly stopped, turned her head at a 45-degree angle, and said, "I just think that a solo breakthrough would be cooler."

Such words and expressions were completely genuine.

The basketball team members deeply realized their own insignificance, realizing that they had never been taken seriously by this person.

No wonder the tennis and Go clubs went into seclusion after their losses.

So it turns out, they were all suffering from Daoist wounds that were difficult to heal.

In the following battles, the basketball team members completely relaxed and found even the unpredictable shooting techniques unremarkable.

"Beep~!"

As the final whistle blew, the Far East Magic Society's score settled at a glaring number—100.

Yes, that's what Izumi Hasegawa said of her hardworking teammates.

He was very satisfied that he could achieve this level of success in just a few days.

"Wow!"

"Hasegawa, you're amazing!"

"From now on, I'm your fan!"

Amidst the continuous cheers, the disappointed left the stage, while the satisfied walked contentedly toward their teammates.

"Sage."

"Sage!"

"Izumi-chan".

"Hase River."

The four girls looked at him happily, and under Chika's lead, Rikka and Dekomori followed suit and gave him a high five in celebration.

Only the last girl had a wandering gaze.

"Dansheng Valley?"

He asked softly.

"Thanks to you, Hasegawa!"

Dansheng Valley Mori Natsumi sighed noticeably, revealing a helpless expression, and came over to give him a high five.

This made him very satisfied.

Mori Summer is only a physical return; the soul has not returned.

But after this battle, it's clear that we've taken a big step forward.

"Hasegawa-san, could you please give me a moment? I'd like to discuss something with you..."

"I don't want to take on that responsibility, I'm not interested, thank you."

The basketball coach ran over first, but before he could even speak, Hasegawa Izumi casually raised her hand to refuse, and then left with Rikka and the others through another exit.

"Hey, how did he guess what I was going to say?"

The basketball coach was momentarily stunned.

Just then, a strong first-year student came up to him, his eyes burning with fighting spirit, and said, "Coach, I want to play basketball! Please, teach me those special moves!"

"I don't know how to do this either!"

The coach instantly broke out in a sweat and scratched his head.

……

Izumi Hasegawa and her group did not go far, but instead headed towards the small park in Shuchiin.

He hadn't forgotten the interview he'd arranged with the press department after the competition.

"Hasegawa-san, wait a minute!"

Before they could even sit down, they heard the three girls from the news department eagerly greeting them.

I heard hurried footsteps behind me.

This time, Asahi Shizuku, Kose Erika, and Kikkaren all came together, which shows how important it was to them.

"Hasegawa-kun, you were so cool this afternoon!"

Ji Kalian held the notebook in one hand, her excitement clearly visible.

"Uh-huh."

Erika Kose nodded like a little squirrel.

They used to be indifferent, treating me like an idiot, but now they're like little fangirls.

Guys, playing basketball really does help!

Of course, he also has to be as handsome as her.

"You two, watch your temper! You need to have professional ethics!"

Asahi Shizuku couldn't help but remind them.

"Yes."

The two girls nodded weakly, realizing their lapse in composure.

They moved to a pavilion.

As is customary, the news department interviewed the entire team, asking about some behind-the-scenes details.

For example, why are Rikka and others able to deliver such amazing performances?

"Is that so strange? If the power of the Evil King's True Eye could be unleashed, I could easily have dealt with them without the Sage's intervention."

"That's right, just a mere mortal, he doesn't even consider Dekomori a threat!"

Rikka and Dekomori gave very straightforward answers.

"Okay, next one."

Ji Kalian raised her hand dismissively.

Fujiwara Chika and Nibutani Morika's answers were much more normal, saying things like "train like crazy" and "it's all thanks to Hasegawa's good teaching."

"Hasegawa, it's your turn."

Soon, three pairs of eyes turned to him expectantly.

"Let's start by talking about the key points of the 'Blue Butterfly's Cloud-Glide Movement'..."

Hasegawa Izumi first explained the secrets of the moves in a language they couldn't quite understand, and then moved on to the next segment that the entire school's teachers and students were eager to see.

"I won't talk trash this time, I'll just talk a little about my regrets."

At this point, his expression suddenly turned desolate and forlorn as he looked up at the distant sky.

"I have dominated Xiuzhi Academy for more than three weeks, defeating my opponents and crushing all heroes, yet I cannot find a single defeat. Alas, how lonely I am!

"If the Kendo Club can please me in the future, that will be enough."

The three members of the news department exchanged glances, each sensing the other's speechless frustration.

Isn't that just trash talk?

Just how much does he love to talk?!

41 This is exactly the kind of opponent I've been looking for!

Goodbye, Hasegawa-san.

"See you next week... no, the week after next."

"I hope that you, Hasegawa, will have the last laugh and make this Shuchiin, which has remained unchanged for so long, lively again!"

After the visit, the three members of the news department rushed back to organize the entire interview content and then posted it on the campus network.

When they discovered that Izumi Hasegawa's delusional challenge might actually succeed, they became extremely enthusiastic. Besides enjoying the spectacle, they also felt a greater sense of unease as students of Junin Academy, which fueled their growing discontent with Shuchiin Academy.

Previously, no one had that ability, but now that someone has finally stepped forward, we are naturally overjoyed.

……

After leaving the news department, all that remained were the team's internal issues.

Strictly speaking, the team was just a temporary group and didn't have much friendship. As a result, it was bound to fall apart after the challenge ended.

"Well then, Izumi-chan, I have some club matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave now~ Today's match was fantastic, I felt your overwhelming masculine strength, I was so well protected~"

Fujiwara Chika winked playfully, made a gesturing gesture with her right hand, then turned and left without much hesitation.

"Now that the corrupt humans have finally left, it's time for us to get down to business."

Rikka watched her walk away, then turned and asked.

"Sage, what do you think of Dekomori? Is he qualified to join our organization and become one of us?"
