The all-powerful middle schooler

"That scene just now was very dangerous. Fortunately, the sage's strength was enough, otherwise... Is this Gaia's consciousness targeting us? It's truly terrifying."

Rikka, who had just joined the queue, looked on with a scrutinizing expression.

She had actually been observing the situation of her allies, but because of previous exchanges, she gave up the idea of ​​intervening.

"That human seems unaware of his predicament. Approaching the sage at this point will only lead to destruction. Should I warn him?"

She leaned forward and looked at the girl on the other side of the line.

"Let's forget about it. The sage will handle this kind of problem himself."

This time, she didn't try to be clever.

"Beep~"

The PE teacher came over and blew his whistle.

"Let's skip the run today, let's... play volleyball!"

He held the volleyball lane high.

"Oh~!"

The students responded with a shout in perfect unison.

They moved to the stadium, where a net had already been set up in the middle, with two courts for men and women.

"You guys should divide yourselves into groups first."

The physical education teacher granted them this freedom.

However, he completely failed to consider the consequences of his words.

"Hasegawa-san! Let's team up!"

"Hasegawa-san, help me!"

"Count me in, I won't hold you back!"

Almost all the boys looked at Hasegawa, crying and shouting enthusiastically.

There was no other way; they didn't want to be bullied and abused in a one-sided manner!

They've chosen so many sports clubs, surely they know how to play volleyball?

"Is everyone so enthusiastic about playing volleyball?"

Hanase Izumi smiled, her eyes narrowing.

"As expected of Shuchiin Academy, it promotes well-rounded development in moral, intellectual, physical, aesthetic and labor education!"

"..."

Everyone was silent.

Of course not, I just don't want to be used as a target by you.

"Teacher, I think I'd better not participate."

Knowing that she was already a character that would either be banned or picked, Izumi Hasegawa voluntarily asked the PE teacher for permission to resign.

A person who only bullies the weak cannot be considered a true strong person.

He wouldn't have done that if it weren't for wanting to become famous.

"Uh-oh."

The PE teacher watched the departing figure walk away forlornly and sighed inwardly.

How lonely and empty it is to be invincible!

There's no way around it, a peerless genius like you, Hasegawa, is destined to be lonely. No one can reach your heights; your journey should be to the stars and the sea!

"It's better that they've left..."

Seeing this, the boys all breathed a sigh of relief.

Regardless of which side the opponent is on, this competitive battle loses its meaning and can only become a backdrop for his performance, which is unbearable for these proud and arrogant people.

On the other side, Rikka Takanashi and Chika Fujiwara formed a team.

"Rikka, we're fighting side by side again this time."

“There aren’t many people who can earn my approval, Fujiwara, the True Eye of Evil.”

As they looked at each other, the trust they had shared when they were teammates before rekindled.

"Chika already calls Rikka by her name."

Leaning against the wall, Izumi Hasegawa, who was watching the game from the sidelines, noticed this scene and nodded in satisfaction.

This is a good thing for both of them.

Even in the face of a future upheaval, there will still be mutual needs.

……

Before long, his composed demeanor was shattered.

"I'm sorry, Izumi-chan, I didn't mean to! I don't know why it keeps getting out of control!"

Fujiwara Chika completed a beautiful spike, but the volleyball bounced to the other side while being defended.

This is the fourth time in such a short period of time.

"This isn't your problem; it's just that I'm being targeted by fate."

Hasegawa Izumi casually hit the volleyball back, then walked out of the gymnasium to temporarily avoid the risk.

"Is fate against us?"

Everyone looked embarrassed and confused.

"In your words, it means you're very unlucky."

Rokka Kotori provides the answer.

"Oh~"

Everyone immediately understood.

"Oh, so Rikka, you can communicate like this too."

With a light clap of her hands, Fujiwara Chika's face lit up with a radiant smile.

"Uh... it's just to fit in with the world."

……

"Hasegawa-san, wait a minute."

When he left, someone chased after him.

The girl's bangs, flying wildly, became even more obtrusive as she moved. She reached out and brushed aside the veil of fringe, revealing eyes as bright as a clear, sunny day, staring directly at the face that had turned towards her.

The eyes are often the windows to the soul.

Through those eyes, Izumi Hasegawa could vaguely sense the girl's emotions.

"Nakano-kun, is there anything you want to ask me?"

He made his judgment through those inquisitive and curious eyes.

"Eh?"

Nakano Miku didn't expect that her thoughts would be seen through before she even opened her mouth.

But isn't this exactly what she wanted?

So she slowly began, "Actually, I've always wanted to say this, but I just haven't found the right opportunity..."

"After all, I don't want others to hear me say these things."

Wait, girl, isn't what you said a bit ambiguous?

Although he was complaining in his heart, he didn't show any emotional fluctuation on the surface.

74 Dansheng Valley: I envy them.

"Following Hasegawa's guidance, I have read through 'The Art of War' by Sun Tzu. It's amazing that such a theory was proposed so long ago... I also just learned that many ancient military commanders were influenced by it."

As she spoke, the girl's eyes shone brightly.

A person shines like this when they talk about the things they love.

"Very good, now you finally realize how vast the world is."

He praised this.

The frog at the bottom of the well can only see the sky as small as the well opening. Only when it jumps out of the well, out of its frame, away from prejudice, and from a completely different perspective can it see a wider world.

What a touching thing this is!

"But you probably want to ask more than just this, right?"

"Well, actually, after reading Sun Tzu's Art of War, I also became interested in the military generals of the ancient Eastern countries, but I don't know where to start learning about them, so I would like to ask Hasegawa for his opinion."

Nakano Miku looked on expectantly.

Because apart from the person in front of her, she had no one else to rely on.

"It would take a very long time to explain this, I don't know how long it would take to finish."

As Hasegawa Izumi recalled the heroes who emerged from the long river of time, and their respective glorious stories, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Please tell me! No matter how long it takes, please! Hasegawa-san..."

Nakano Miku clasped her hands together devoutly, like a believer praying for divine mercy.

Nakano-kun is cute, that's true, and she's very sincere, that's true, but...

"I reject."

He answered coldly.

"Oh, I see... I'm sorry, I made a request that has troubled Hasegawa-san."

The girl's eyes seemed to lose their color instantly, and she lowered her head.

The sadness was visible to the naked eye.

"Although I don't have time to tell you those things, I can still tell you some simple things."

Izumi Hasegawa paused for a moment, then continued.

"Really?"

The girl immediately came back to life, and the colors on her body became bright and vibrant again.

"Come with me."

He hadn't forgotten that he still had a debuff, so he led the girl to a quieter corner.

"Just here."

He stopped at a stone bench.

"Nakano-kun, since you like warlords so much, have you ever played any warlord-themed games?"

"Yes, I've played it. It's very interesting. I feel like I can immerse myself in it and experience the feeling of having my ambitions unleashed."

Such a description... Nakano-kun, your hobby is quite unique indeed.

"In that case, have you ever played Dynasty Warriors?"

"I've heard about it because of the game collaboration, but I haven't looked into it in detail."

Miku Nakano's honest answer.

At that time, she didn't even know much about the generals in her own country, so naturally she didn't have time to pay attention to the generals in other countries.

"Then I suggest you start from this point, and then learn about the related history..."

The two chatted until the bell rang to signal the end of get out of class.

"Thank you for your guidance, Hanesegawa-san. I will never forget this kindness."
