The all-powerful middle schooler

"As a pioneer of magic, Morisummer-senpai truly inspires my admiration~"

She couldn't help but praise it.

"Since you have gained the approval of morisummer, I will also approve of you. From now on, you can follow us and learn from us."

The boy continued.

"Yes, senior."

Shichimiya Satone lowered her head slightly, feeling no discomfort, and immediately accepted this setting.

At that moment, listening to the other person's words, she felt a sense of peace.

"Sophia is indeed a very talented genius."

Dansheng Valley Mori Natsumi smiled gently.

The two-person group thus became a three-person group.

However, generally speaking, Nibutani Morika and Shichimiya Satone are closer to each other, since they are both girls and there is still some distance between them and the boy.

Some people at the school even started promoting the two girls as a couple.

After all, when two people are praying or being very close at any time, it's easy for misunderstandings to arise.

During an exchange, Shichimiya Satone learned the meaning of the name 'morisummer' and then inquired about the meaning of Hasegawa's name.

"morisummer, what exactly is the meaning of the seeker's name?"

She wanted to know more about this mysterious man.

"Seekers of the Way... as the name suggests, they pursue a kind of 'Way'? A path, or a law or something like that?"

Nishikawa Morika was also somewhat uncertain when she answered.

"Is that right?"

"This is just my understanding, and there may be some inaccuracies. If you really want to know, you should ask the seeker himself."

Shichimiya Satone hesitated for a moment, but still mustered up the courage to ask.

On their way home from school, the two walked side by side.

"The seeker of the Way can be interpreted in many ways, as Morisummer explained to you, it can also mean one who seeks hope."

Izumi Hasegawa provided the answer.

"hope?"

The girl looked puzzled.

"That's right, it's a kind of hope."

The boy looked up at the sky with a melancholy expression.

"I have been searching for too long and have tried too many methods of cultivation, but I have not been able to achieve it in this world and manifest my extraordinary power in reality... If it only exists in the spiritual world, it will be meaningless except for communication between like-minded people."

From her sorrowful expression and tone, Shichimiya Satone could fully grasp the emotion she was feeling.

Even those who shine brightly in her eyes have a negative side.

Yes, the young man used the name of 'seeking the Way' to give meaning to his pursuit.

However, this long process was enough to make him feel desperate.

No matter what method he used, he could not find any hope.

When will that unknown road finally open up?

"It's alright! Seeker of the Way, I believe your pursuit will surely be fulfilled... In the near future, the era that truly belongs to us will finally arrive!"

Shichimiya Satone raised her arm, clenched her fist, and cheered him on.

"Hahaha... But before that, you still need to grow up properly, Sophia. The abyss of magic is not so easy to reach."

Hasegawa Izumi paused for a moment, then patted her shoulder and walked away.

"I will work hard."

Shichimiya Satone watched his retreating figure and muttered something to herself.

From this day forward, the girl's life will have an additional layer of meaning.

She wanted to follow in the boy's footsteps all the way to the end of the road.

One weekend.

Dansheng Valley Senxia logged onto the forum and saw a question.

I want to go to a parallel world.

My friends all say, 'There's no world like that,' and they completely ignore me.

Signature: SANASANA

She noticed the questioner's name.

This is someone I already know.

morisummer: Even powerful mages can't easily travel to parallel worlds, so your ordinary friends naturally wouldn't know. However, as an ancient mage, I have personally experienced the existence of parallel worlds, so I can prove that they do exist!

The other party replied quickly and wanted to have an in-depth discussion with her.

However, Nibutani Morika had other commitments, so she postponed it for the time being.

After carefully dressing up in her room and changing into a rather sacred magician cosplay outfit, she walked out of the room with cheerful steps.

This day was the 'Day of Seeking the Dao' that the three of them had agreed upon.

A street intersection.

Hasegawa, Nissouya, and Shichimiya arrived one after another.

Like Nibutani, Shichimiya Satone wore a magical girl-like outfit, a cute pink one that fits the stereotype in people's minds.

"The destination is... here."

Hasegawa Izumi took a map out of her pocket and pointed to a location outside the suburbs.

According to memories gleaned from dreams, places with beautiful mountains and clear waters are more likely to possess extraordinary energies such as 'spiritual energy' than places bustling with people.

The three of them walked on and on until they reached the mountains and forests.

Just as they were about to climb higher, they found there was no way forward.

"Let's climb up from this side."

The boy took the lead, pushed himself up with both hands, and climbed to a higher place.

"Seekers..."

"The barriers here are a bit too high."

"We cannot break through with our magic alone."

The two girls stood there awkwardly.

"Give me your hand."

Hasegawa Izumi crouched down and then reached out.

Shichimiya Satomo and Nibutani Morika exchanged a glance, both seeing the shyness in each other's eyes.

They've never even held a boy's hand before!

However, given the atmosphere, the girls, though shy, still reached out their hands.

Ten minutes later, the three of them climbed to a high point and looked down at the entire city.

"This is the first time I've seen it from this angle. Human cities are actually quite well-constructed."

"Hehehe... Once I learn flying magic, I'm definitely going to look down from the sky!"

Although she didn't find any trace of the extraordinary, the girl felt that her journey was worthwhile, looking at the scenery before her.

next to.

The boy joined in the laughter.

Extra Chapter: Epilogue 7

However, the scene of that day quickly vanished from sight.

What happened next was...

After the holiday, the boy announced his departure.

The two girls could only accept this with regret.

Nibutani Morika and Shichimiya Satone maintained this state until the second half of their third year of junior high school when things changed.

Due to family reasons, Shichimiya Satone also transferred schools and left, leaving only Nibutani Morika alone.

Without any companions, Nibutani Morika quickly felt lonely and gradually woke up from her chuunibyou dream.

The girl, who believed she had grown up and lost her innocence, instead regarded this period of her life as a dark history and was determined to change herself and become a "normie"!

So she studied hard and entered Xiuzhiyuan with excellent grades.

However, on that day, the name Hasegawa reached my ears again—

She encountered fate once again.

the other side.

After waiting for a year and a half, Eriri finally learned from her mother that her childhood friend had returned.

She had been suffering terribly during this period, and had already planned in her heart that she would take revenge when they met again and vent her grievances.

However, the moment the two met again at school—

She suddenly couldn't say a word.

Although she didn't want to admit her feelings at that time, she was praying in her heart.

"I hope we can be childhood sweethearts for life."

After that, a period of stability followed. The childhood sweetheart became much more composed than before, to the point that the girl had few memories of him during junior high school.

Until I went to high school.

Her life underwent a dramatic change because of her childhood sweetheart.

What follows is a story that everyone is familiar with.

The Far East Magic Society challenges numerous other clubs, achieving instant fame, and Hasegawa ascends to the throne...

A master of grappling techniques, an academic exchange at the Supreme Martial Arts Academy, and a swordplay debate with a grandmaster of swordsmanship...

From the day of the celestial upheaval, the preachers, extraordinary beings, descended into reality...

He turned the tide multiple times, slaying the nine-tailed fox, destroying the evil cult, and finally taking on the crisis of world destruction, shattering the void and departing.

In the blink of an eye, several years have passed.

With the help of the organization and many people with special abilities, the world has changed dramatically.

The apocalyptic crisis caused by the natural disaster has been completely brought under control, and the appearance of demons and monsters has been suppressed.

Human society remained stable, but it was divided into the inner world and the outer world. Feuds between people in the inner world had to be kept from affecting the outer world, and humans even set up special zones around the world for this purpose.

This rule was established by the powerful members of the legendary Far East Magic Society, and it was adopted as soon as it was proposed.

As time passed and the world was swept away, few of the powerful figures who once dominated the early stages of the upheaval remained. However, the girls associated with that man have remained at the pinnacle.

No one knows how powerful they are, because everyone who tried to challenge them died.

And on a fine, sunny day...

These legendary individuals with extraordinary abilities have gathered on an island.

"Are you all here?"

"Dansheng Valley Mori Natsumi asked with a smile."

"It seems everyone has felt it."
