In this crossover anime, I fight against the supernatural in my everyday world.

235 New member selection, the strongest wingman Yukino Yukinoshita

Hiratsuka Shizuka pressed the pause button on the remote control, leaned close to the TV, and watched the replay, carefully observing the long nail in the "mask's" hand.

First of all, this is a sharp nail that you won't see in everyday life, about thirty centimeters long.

Upon closer inspection, Hiratsuka Shizuka noticed that the nail's surface was very smooth, and it even reflected a slight cold light under the sunlight.

"Where...did I see something like this before...?"

Hiratsuka Shizuka had a feeling that she had seen these nails somewhere before, a sense of familiarity.

After trying to recall for a long time, the image of the first day of school, when she barged into the activity room and met Yotsuya Miko and Yohoshi for the first time, suddenly appeared in her mind.

"and many more..."

Hiratsuka Shizuka finally remembered.

The silver nail that I confiscated from Ye Xing back then was almost identical to the nail in this replay, except for the length.

"That thing... seems to still be in the office."

Hiratsuka Shizuka made up her mind to go back to Soubu High School tomorrow to look for the silver nail that had been confiscated from her drawer and compare it with the footage rebroadcast by Kyoto City TV.

She had only seen nails made of pure silver twice.

One time was in Ye Xing's hands, and the other time was with "Mask" during this live television broadcast.

Based on rational analysis...

Wielding the same weapons, and possessing equally unusual abilities...

Could it be that Night Star and "Mask" are the same person?

Hiratsuka Shizuka didn't have any particular thoughts.

She just wanted to satisfy her curiosity and find out what her most outstanding student was up to while playing the role of an exorcist...

Is he also playing the role of a hero who saves Kyoto City at the same time?

.......

Later that day, at Night Star's home.

"it is finally over."

Aside from Kitagawa Kaimu, who was still kept in the dark, the members of the Superpower Society gathered together again.

"Yeah, it's over."

Hearing Yui Yuigahama's words and seeing her adorable, goofy smile, Mai Sakurajima simply couldn't reconcile this sweet and innocent girl with the cold and cruel exorcist she had been during her battle with Ushi no Toki.

Rio Futaba, who is usually rational and calm and never flustered, had her power of soul materialization affected due to her inner turmoil and hesitation while Yosei was trapped in the Otherworld.

Yui Yuigahama, however, unleashed an extraordinary level of performance due to the anger she felt.

This is due to the differences in everyone's personality, and it's hard to say which is good or bad.

This only proves that... Ye Xing holds a very important place in both of their hearts.

"Our members..."

Rio Futaba looked at everyone sitting in the living room and sighed softly.

"If bizarre events of this scale happen frequently in the future, then our current size of the organization is still too small."

Yukino Yukino leaned lazily against the sofa, nibbling on the delicate pastry in her hand, and chuckled softly.

"Don't count me in, I have no intention of joining your club."

Upon hearing this, Yukino Yukinoshita frowned slightly.

"Sister...you saw it too, the destruction that evil spirits can cause...only those with psychic abilities can..."

"Do not."

Haruno interrupted Yukino Yukinoshita, stroked her cute little sister's long hair, and said with a smile.

"As the eldest daughter of the Yukinoshita family, I have to inherit our family company. Besides, I am studying at a university in Chiba Prefecture and cannot stay in Kyoto normally. Moreover, my abilities are not strong enough to provide you with any effective help, so please don't count me in."

Upon hearing Haruno's words, Yui Yuigahama cautiously spoke up.

"Actually... everyone wasn't very strong at the beginning..."

Rio Futaba hesitated, seemingly wanting to interrupt Yui Yuigahama, but ultimately remained silent.

She really doesn't like Yukinoshita Haruno.

There are many reasons, including the other party's attitude of seemingly having everything under control, treating everyone else as NPCs to be manipulated, measuring everyone's value, and appearing friendly but actually condescending.

That kind of sarcastic, veiled tone.

And most importantly, the rivals in the battlefield.

However, Rio Futaba felt that while her personal opinion about Haruno was one thing, regarding the ability to materialize souls and various information about psychics, including methods to quickly increase power, since Haruno had already awakened soul materialization and become a psychic, she naturally had the right to know all of this.

Moreover, there is one more crucial point.

Exorcism is a very dangerous thing.

After awakening her spiritual abilities, whether Yukino Yukinoshita likes it or not, she will inevitably encounter evil spirits even if she is far away in Chiba Prefecture.

Rio Futaba wouldn't be so selfish as to deliberately hide the method to increase her power just because she doesn't like Haruno.

Besides...

Is there any difference?

Yang Nai and Ye Xing had already...

No difference.

"Oh, the one you're talking about."

Although Yui Yuigahama didn't make her meaning clear, Haruno had already guessed what she wanted to say, and a charming smile appeared on her lips.

“I already knew this when I consulted Ye Xing about matters related to psychic abilities, so there’s no need to mention it.”

Yukino Yukinoshita was somewhat curious.

What are you talking about?

Yang Nai gently rubbed his younger sister's head, looking at her puzzled expression, and smiled as he spoke.

"You don't understand anything, Yukino."

Rio Futaba sighed, changed the subject, and got back to business.

"In short, we need to recruit new members who are qualified to awaken their spiritual abilities and are trustworthy, and also help more members awaken their spiritual abilities in order to avoid the problem of insufficient manpower that we encountered this time."

Speaking of psychics at this stage...

Sakurajima Mai looked at Makinohara Shoko sitting there, then glanced at Yuigahama Yui with a blank expression, and said thoughtfully.

"Based on the tarot card reading that Godmother gave... The Hanged Man, Death, if these two cards symbolize Yui and Shoko, then they have both awakened their psychic abilities. Could the last card, the Moon, also represent someone who can awaken psychic abilities, has the potential to join the Xyz Society, and become our helper?"

Upon hearing this, the members present began to discuss it.

"Moon Brand?"

"Let me see... wavering, uneasy, confused... Do we know anyone like this around us?"

"The divination of tarot cards is too vague. To be honest, most of us here have probably experienced feelings of wavering, unease, and confusion, right?"

"Or perhaps, this Moon card doesn't represent a person, but rather the event we've just experienced?"

"It's really hard to find the answer..."

..........

Seeing that the members had been discussing for a long time without coming to an answer, Yukino Yukinoshita glanced at Yohoshi sitting there and noticed that he didn't seem to be thinking at all, but rather looked confident, as if he had already thought of someone. Suddenly, an idea flashed through her mind.

"The moon... Could it be Kaguya Shinomiya?"

"Shinomiya Kaguya?"

Touma Kazusa frowned slightly and slowly spoke under everyone's watchful eyes.

"Who?"

"Eh?"

Everyone looked confused, so Yui Yuigahama took the initiative to explain with a smile.

"Think back to that student from Shuchiin Academy. When you were competing in the piano with Fujiwara Chika, she was standing right next to you."

"Fujiwara Chika?"

With a completely expressionless face, Touma Kazusa parted her lips slightly and said.

"Who is Fujiwara Chika? I don't know her."

Yui Yuigahama opened her lips as if to say something, but in the end she could only shake her head helplessly.

This is Touma Kazusa.

It's quite impressive that she can remember the name of every member in the Superpower Club.

For people she doesn't care about, Touma Kazusa doesn't even bother to remember them.

"Kaguya Shinomiya...?"

Upon hearing Yukino Yukinoshita connect the Moon card in Tarot readings with Kaguya Shinomiya, Miko Yotsuya agreed.

"That Shinomiya-san suffers from puberty syndrome, which certainly fits the definition of wavering, anxiety, and confusion. And obviously, her name is the same as Princess Kaguya in mythology, which can be completely connected with the Moon card."

"Kaguya Shinomiya..."

As the top strategist of the Xyz Society, Rio Futaba immediately began to think seriously upon hearing the name, and murmured to herself.

"I heard that she is not only outstanding in mind, but also in many other sports such as archery, tea ceremony, and sports. She is the most outstanding among girls of the same age. If such a talented person can really awaken the ability of soul materialization and become a psychic, she certainly has the qualifications to become a professional exorcist."

Yukinoshita Haruno added with a smile from the side.

"Another point is that the Shinomiya Group's connections and financial resources can also broaden your information channels. After all, our Yukinoshita Company's home base is not in Kyoto City, but the Shinomiya Group's sphere of influence covers the entire Sakura Province."

Hearing her older sister commenting on the value that Kaguya Shinomiya's family background could bring in that familiar tone, Yukino Yukinoshita showed displeasure.
