The all-powerful middle schooler

Volume 4: Chapter 32 In Search of the Truth

"Did you observe anything?"

“There is something like a curse that is connected to their souls.”

"Tsk, it's actually a soul attack? This is a bit tricky."

Shichimiya Satone bit her lip lightly.

"It will be difficult for us to remove these curses."

Dansheng Gusenxia said with a cautious expression.

It's not that there's no way to remove it, since each person carries very few curses. However, if the person behind it discovers and detonates the curse, the situation becomes extremely troublesome.

The best solution is to eliminate the instigator directly, and the curse without a source will naturally dissipate.

"Looks like the only way is to find that guy and then get rid of him!"

Shichimiya Satone quickly realized this as well, and excitedly raised the magic wand in her hand.

"Um......."

Nissougu Senxia's eyes were thoughtful, but she did not deny it.

Turning around, they asked the students which school they came from and received the accurate answer.

It's clear that these people afflicted with the curse have one thing in common, so naturally they set their sights on the school itself.

"Toyonosaki? It seems to be nearby."

Shichimiya Satone took out her phone, checked the map, and pointed to the location of Toyonosaki.

"Then let's hurry over and investigate."

Nishikawa Morika then followed in her footsteps.

As dusk approached, the setting sun cast its rays upon the campus, and students sparsely emerged from the school gate.

Without exception, they all carried the same curse.

At this moment, Dansheng Valley Senxia activated his Soul Eye to observe the entire campus again, but it seemed to be interfered with by something and he was unable to see through it.

"Stepping in rashly could be dangerous."

She said, somewhat uncertainly.

"No problem, with Morisummer and me, the Demon Lord Magical Girl, we can handle any danger!"

The girl in front of her had already confidently stepped into the school gate and turned around to wave.

"See, nothing's wrong!"

"alright."

After considering it for a moment, Nissouya Mori Natsumi followed him inside.

Perhaps I was just being too paranoid.

After all, the chances of randomly encountering an enemy you can't defeat are very low.

……

While other students were still leaving the campus without any hindrance.

The students in Class 2-C are in dire straits.

In order to find out the truth behind it, Sakurai and a group of students came to the abandoned club classroom building.

After several days of hellish experience, with many deaths and injuries, the students, now grown up, have figured out some of the information. First, as long as you complete the so-called choices set by 'God,' you can avoid being harmed. Of course, this is not a good thing, since the requirements are becoming increasingly difficult, more like a cat playing with a mouse.

Secondly, the so-called 'god' is not as powerful as it claims. According to someone, it may just be a powerful 'earthbound spirit' that is very well hidden and has very sophisticated methods.

"Are you sure there will be any clues here? This place hasn't been used for a long time, since that incident a year ago..."

"What we're looking for is something related to that incident."

Someone asked, and someone answered.

A year ago, the old club classroom building was still in use, but it was abandoned after a certain incident. Although the news was kept very secret, some of them found out about it. In short, someone in the Supernatural Research Department advocated playing a spirit summoning game. They didn't know the details, but they knew that the person who had always been bullied in the club killed everyone with a knife, including himself.

Previously, they might have thought this was just some extreme event in reality, but now it seems that there might be traces of supernatural forces at play. Perhaps the summoning game brought in an evil spirit that possessed them and killed everyone.

Sakurai made a deduction in his mind, and then examined the remaining traces.

But in reality, it was just a pretense; calling others over was merely to protect their safety.

A year later, all the surface traces have been wiped clean, leaving nothing but an empty clubroom, from which they could not possibly find any clues.

"Xiao Hui, I'm leaving you with this."

She murmured softly.

Of all those present, only she vaguely remembered the existence of another classmate.

The bob-haired girl she was talking about was also nearby, her eyes scanning the surroundings.

A few days ago, Kato Megumi intended to provoke the 'god' into revealing its true form and engaging in battle with it.

However, the moment she opened her mouth, she sensed something ominous. Then, an inexplicable force wrapped around her body, intending to control her and probably carry out a similar suicide attempt.

However, she dared to act this way because she was confident in herself. She immediately activated her ability to eliminate her own presence, thus avoiding the consequences of being controlled.

However, she only eliminated her presence, but she could not undo the attacks she had already taken.

Therefore, that mysterious force still exists within her body and could retaliate at any time.

She originally had time to eliminate this power, but in order to help her friend overcome the crisis, she was forced to use her power, causing the increase in power to exceed the rate at which it could be eliminated.

If something unexpected happens next, she will truly be completely exposed to the eyes of 'God'.

However, she was actually exposed, because Toyosaki seemed to have activated a firewall, preventing her from going out; it was just that the other party couldn't lock onto her and attack her.

"Strange, there's such a strong sense of resentment here..."

"Go to the back of the building."

After a careful search, Kato Megumi found nothing, but then she unexpectedly discovered a clue while looking out the window.

"let's go."

Upon hearing this, Sakurai immediately told everyone to leave.

"It stinks!"

"What is this smell...?"

As they walked down the stairs to the back of the club classroom building, a rotten smell wafted over, causing them to pinch their noses.

"Dig it open."

Kato Megumi pointed to an area on the grass.

A group of people with strong endurance took out shovels and were about to dig into the soil when blood suddenly seeped out from the soil.

"No, run away!"

Suddenly, Sakurai's expression changed.

The others immediately dropped what they were holding and ran away.

Kato Megumi recognized that it was just some kind of illusion and did not leave.

"Come out."

Her eyes flickered, and she spoke.

"Can you see me!?"

Just then, wisps of smoke rose from the ground, forming weak spirits that seemed to be the dead students.

Perhaps, we can learn the truth from them and find the flaw in that guy.

Volume 4: 33卍！ (Unlocked!)

"Who are you?"

Kato Megumi asked.

She got the answer from these spirits: they were all students of Toyosaki Academy in their previous lives. They were killed in a bizarre way and then imprisoned here after waking up. Every once in a while, one of these spirits would disappear and its whereabouts would be unknown.

"So, you don't even know who killed you?"

She was not dissatisfied with the answer.

After all, the other party's identity is not important; what matters is their purpose in doing so.

Once this is understood, there will be opportunities to target weaknesses.

"boom!"

Just then, a huge explosion suddenly rang out inside the school.

"This sound is..."

Kato Megumi turned her head and looked slightly surprised.

“Miss, I might know the reason.”

Suddenly, a female spirit stepped forward.

"You said."

Kato Megumi judged that the information at hand was more important and temporarily ignored the sudden battle that had broken out in the academy.

"Um, I used to be a member of the Paranormal Research Department..."

Then, the female spirit told her a story.

Her name is Yuka. A year ago, she was a first-year student who joined the club out of curiosity about the supernatural. Soon after, a boy named Kimura, also in the same grade, joined. Because they were both first-year students, the two got along quite well...

However, the classic case of a beautiful woman causing trouble occurred. After the head of the Supernatural Club expressed his feelings for her one day but was rejected, he set his sights on the timid Kimura and ostracized him. Eventually, he went too far and even resorted to violence.

She couldn't stand it anymore, so she wanted to quit the club with Kimura. But that afternoon, the club president suddenly pulled them aside to participate in a spirit summoning game, saying that it would prove Kimura was just a coward and not worth her attention at all.

She didn't have that idea and didn't care, so she immediately refused. But for some reason, Kimura agreed. Then, at dusk that day, the club started the 'Spirit Summoning Game'. Unexpectedly, they actually succeeded in summoning a spirit, and it was a terrifying earthbound spirit that wanted to devour their souls to complete its advancement.

However, when the evil spirit possessed him, an accident occurred. Unexpectedly, Kimura awakened a very special ability. It seemed that summoning spirits was part of Kimura's plan, but the special nature and power of the earthbound spirit were unexpected. As a result, the two collided and created a 'strange' existence.

"I see......"

After hearing this, Kato Megumi had many thoughts flashing through her mind and made some speculations.

The person being bullied likely awakened the ability to control spirits, but the earthbound spirit they summoned was too powerful to be controlled, resulting in a power struggle between the two until recently when one side gained the upper hand, leading to this current situation...

The vanished spirit should be devoured to strengthen itself.

But I always feel...

This answer is not entirely correct.

However, she didn't have that much time left.

The battle was gaining momentum, and she needed to rush to the battlefield.

......

After walking only a few steps into the Toyonosaki campus, Nibuya Morika noticed something amiss.

Because of the previous curse, she had been observing her surroundings and then detected the flow of that strange power, surging in from all directions, far more than she had seen on the students before.

"Shine, Elements."

Without saying a word, she had already completed her Shikai. The Zanpakuto in her hand changed slightly, and she casually manipulated the power of the five elements. The five different colorful colors blocked the power of the curse.

"Is this your wand, Morisummer? It looks quite special."

Shichimiya Satone's attention was drawn, but she quickly recovered and released her own magic power, which, together with the elemental power, resolved all the curse power.

"It seems we've been discovered."

Dansheng Valley Senxia's expression was resolute.

After sensing the fluctuation of power, she had a familiar feeling, as if it came from a 'domain'.

"It seems the owner of this place doesn't welcome us very much..."
