The situation only improved slightly after arriving at the academy today, but it still hasn't disappeared, which has caused Eriri to be listless all morning.

When some classmates from other clubs saw this and came to inquire, Eriri could only vaguely say that she hadn't slept well the night before, thus dismissing them.

After all, she couldn't very well say that she suspected she had encountered a ghost, could she? This was modern society, and at the prestigious Xiuzhi Academy, a place teeming with elites. If she said that, she would definitely be laughed at.

Because of some unpleasant memories, Eriri is very particular about her interpersonal relationships.

But this can't go on forever, and Eriri is already considering whether she should go to a shrine to get a charm or something after school today.

Just as my mind was wandering, a knock on the door suddenly rang out inside the club.

"Please come in!"

All I heard was a senior from the third year of high school shouting.

Suddenly, the door to the art department classroom opened, and a figure appeared in front of the club members.

"Chairman Takahashi?"

Inside the art department, many students exclaimed in surprise.

Even in the elite Shuchi Academy, Takahashi Yu has quite a few admirers.

After all, having a background that surpasses 99% of people and abilities that surpass 100% of everyone else is enough to make these teenagers admire and believe in him.

"Excuse me, President Takahashi, what brings you to the art club?"

Then the head of the painting club, the senior student who had spoken earlier, stepped forward and asked Takahashi Yu a question.

Takahashi Yu's gaze swept around the art club classroom before settling on a blonde girl with twin ponytails who was engrossed in drawing.

"Sorry, I'm here to see someone."

Takahashi Yu pointed in the direction of Eriri and then said, "Excuse me, could you please come out for a moment?"

"Find me?"

Suddenly realizing that everyone's eyes were on her, Eriri immediately raised her head.

"Oh? Sawamura-san is the ace of our art club. Is there something you need help with, President Takahashi?"

The Minister of Painting spoke again.

"Yes, that's true. I have some personal questions I'd like to ask Sawamura-kun."

Takahashi Yu nodded.

He never expected that this time the vengeful spirit would not attach itself to an object, but to a person.

Indeed, from Takahashi Yu's perspective, a thick aura of resentment was constantly emanating from Eriri's body, and its intensity was arguably the strongest vengeful spirit Takahashi Yu had ever seen.

The fact that it can possess a human shows that this vengeful spirit's power can even directly affect reality, although it is still no match for him.

"In that case, I'll trouble you, Sawamura-kun, to make a trip with President Takahashi."

Upon hearing this, the senior member of the art club didn't doubt it. After all, Takahashi Yu was the student council president, while Sawamura Eriri, although the ace of the art club, was just an ordinary student. It would be strange if these two had any interaction.

I guess something happened at the student council and they need to consult Eriri-san.

"Okay...okay, I understand."

Compared to the president of the art club, Eriri always felt uneasy about the way Takahashi Yu looked at her, but she didn't say anything. She just nodded, then got up and followed Takahashi Yu out of the club room.

Chapter 14: Possessed by a Demon! Eriri's Worldview Collapses

As Sawamura Eriri followed Takahashi Yu out of the art club classroom, she felt uneasy under Takahashi Yu's gaze.

"This should be about right."

Suddenly noticing that the person in front of her had stopped, Eriri Sawamura looked up and realized that she had unknowingly followed the person to the top of the rooftop.

This place is generally not open to ordinary students, so the entire rooftop was empty at the moment. As for how the two of them got up here... well, that's because Takahashi Yu is the student council president.

"Chairman Takahashi, what do you want with me here?"

She took two steps back without making a sound, leaving the two of them alone on the deserted rooftop. This caused countless images to flash through Eriri's mind, who had drawn countless stanzas. Coupled with the fact that Takahashi Yu had been watching her subtly all the way, Eriri, whose mental state was not very good to begin with, suddenly had some bad thoughts.

But Takahashi Yu was, after all, the student council president, and the prestige he had accumulated in the academy over the past half semester forced Eriri to dispel the distracting thoughts in her mind and ask formally.

"Excuse me for asking, Sawamura-kun, have you been feeling unwell lately?"

Turning to look at the girl behind him, Takahashi Yu spoke calmly.

"The uncomfortable area..."

Upon hearing Takahashi Yu's words, Eriri immediately recalled the feeling of being watched by something that had started last night, but then shook her head.

"No, I feel fine, I just didn't sleep well last night."

Instinctively, Eriri didn't want to reveal her privacy. Moreover, although Takahashi Yu was the student council president, this was the first time the two had officially met. Faced with a stranger's question, Eriri instinctively chose to refuse.

"It seems I haven't expressed myself clearly enough."

Upon hearing Eriri's answer, Takahashi Yu silently shook his head before speaking again.

"In that case, let me be even clearer: Sawamura-kun, you've encountered a ghost."

"Hit...hit a ghost?!"

Faced with Takahashi Yu's straightforward expression, Sawamura Eriri immediately showed a flustered expression.

"Ghost encounters? That's impossible. This is modern society. Ghosts... are probably just fiction..."

Although Eriri's experiences from last night to today made her suspect that she might have been tainted by something unclean, that was just a guess, and it was completely different from being confronted by someone who explicitly told her that she had encountered a ghost.

"Are you unwilling to accept reality?"

Taking in Eriri's flustered expression, Takahashi Yu let out a long sigh.

"There's nothing you can do if you don't want to accept reality. After all, everyone who is possessed by a vengeful spirit can sense something unusual to some extent. You should know best whether what I'm saying is true or false. You not only encountered a ghost, but you are also in a state of being possessed by a ghost."

"So... I really am possessed by a vengeful spirit?"

Looking at Eriri, whose face had turned pale instantly, Takahashi Yu nodded.

"But don't worry, I'll at least get rid of this vengeful spirit."

He reached out to comfort Eriri, who was trembling with fear, but Takahashi Yu didn't mock her for being cowardly.

Before this, he had seen several ordinary people possessed by vengeful spirits. After learning the truth, they were either so frightened that they wet themselves and cried for their parents, or at best, they were weak in the knees and powerless.

In comparison, Eriri's current reaction of only trembling and paleness is already considered quite good.

After calming Eriri down for a moment, and once her emotions had eased slightly, the figure of the Killer Queen slowly appeared behind Eriri's back, out of her sight.

"It might hurt a little next, so please bear with it."

The Killer Queen's hand shot forward and pierced Eriri's heart.

Of course, it's not a physical penetration; a Stand is a manifestation of the Stand user's spiritual power, and therefore can do many things that violate the laws of physics.

For example, in the original work, Jotaro gives the old man a heart pacing through his chest, or he forgets he can't fly while fighting Dio, etc.

Now, Takahashi Yu ordered the Killer Queen to forcibly pull out the vengeful spirit attached to Eriri's body through her skin!

And so, under Eriri's horrified gaze, a black-haired female vengeful spirit dressed in white was pulled out of her body bit by bit, as if under the influence of some unseen force!

As they pulled, the vengeful spirit struggled, and piercing screams echoed in their ears.

For a moment, Eriri froze, as if she had forgotten her own body, and dared not move an inch.

Until the vengeful spirit within her was completely pulled out of her body.

“Aa ...

The vengeful spirit, forcibly dragged out, let out a shrill scream and raised its hands as if to attack, but was sent flying in the next second.

With a flash of light, the vengeful spirit that had flown into the air seemed to undergo some unknown chemical reaction, and in a violent explosion, it was suddenly reduced to ashes and disappeared before Eriri's eyes.

"That solves the problem."

Having witnessed the Stand Killer Queen easily defeat the vengeful spirit, Takahashi Yu nodded in satisfaction.

The appearance of that vengeful spirit seemed familiar, but he couldn't quite place it for the moment, so Takahashi Yu decided to ask Eriri about the origin of that vengeful spirit.

However, upon turning her gaze, Takahashi Yu realized an embarrassing situation: Eriri was so frightened by witnessing a vengeful spirit being forcibly pulled out of her body that she was completely trembling. If Takahashi Yu hadn't instinctively supported her, she might already be lying on the ground.

To prevent her from falling, Takahashi Yu supported Eriri's waist with one hand, letting her lean against him. While this made her stable, the posture was somewhat ambiguous.

Fortunately, after the series of shocks she had just experienced, Eriri was still somewhat shaken and a little dazed, so she didn't notice this "minor matter".

Taking the opportunity, Takahashi Yu helped Eriri sit down to the side, allowing her to calm down.

After a while, Eriri finally came to her senses and looked at the person beside her.

"How are you? Have you recovered yet?"

"No, this may take some more time."

Shaking her head, Eriri stood up unsteadily from the ground, enduring the weakness in her legs, and bowed in the direction of Takahashi Yu.

"Although it still feels a bit unbelievable, I am very grateful for Chairman Takahashi's help."

"This is what I was meant to do."

In response, Takahashi Yu gave a nonchalant reply.

"Speaking of which, Sawamura-kun, you just saw a vengeful spirit, didn't you?"

Is...is there something wrong?

"No, no, no, Sawamura-kun, the existence of anomalies cannot be known to ordinary people."

"What's the meaning..."

Eriri Sawamura's expression suddenly froze.

"Does this mean there are rules like killing an ordinary person to silence them if they find out about something?"

"That's not necessarily the case, but some confidentiality measures still need to be taken."

Takahashi Yu shook her head, then looked at Eriri with a smile...
