Abnormal Moon

"You two sisters are really awkward."

Maki remained silent upon hearing this.

This is true.

The relationship between the two sisters can only be described as awkward.

However, by now, this relationship is beyond repair.

All she could do was try her best to change the entire Zen family and bury the dirty and rotten parts into the dustbin of history.

In this way, the Zen temple clan will be cleaned up—and the area around Shin'i will become a pure land.

That's it.

"...What is the teacher's opinion of Mayi?"

Maki remained silent for a while, her face contorted with conflict, her heart filled with hesitation.

After a long while, she finally made up her mind and asked Roy with a determined expression.

What is your opinion on Zhenyi?

Roy glanced at Maki with some surprise, not expecting her to ask him that.

He thought for a while.

"It's fragile."

"Although she may seem arrogant and unreasonable at first glance, that's just a facade. The essence behind that facade is as clear as glass."

"The teacher can see so much at a glance..."

"It wouldn't really be considered a glance."

Seeing Maki's complicated expression, Roy became curious.

"Why are you asking me all this?"

"...Actually, I have a request for you, teacher, regarding Mayi."

"Oh? A request?"

Roy murmured for a moment, a meaningful smile spreading across his face.

"You want me to give her power? Just like you?"

She wanted his help to turn Zenin Shin'i into a tyrannical ruler like her.

Roy thought this must be Maki's request.

Regardless of whether it's possible or not—after all, Roy has never conducted an experiment to turn a sorcerer with spells and spell power into a tyrant with zero spell power—it's not impossible for him to help.

But this part falls outside the scope of the transaction.

He turned Maki into a complete version of the Heaven and Tyrant in the hope that she could become the spokesperson for the Zenin clan, gather the power of the Zenin clan, and even the three major families, so that she could play a role as his subordinate in the future.

He had no expectations of Zhenyi.

Anything outside the transaction must be exchanged for benefits outside the transaction.

"Can a teacher even do something like this?"

Maki was startled by Roy's words and looked at him with disbelief in her eyes.

That look in his eyes was as if he had never thought about it at all.

"As for whether I can turn her into a tyrant, I have no idea, since I've never done such an experiment before. But if I just want to give her power, it's very simple."

Roy readily acknowledged his abilities, casually bestowing upon Maya one or two powerful spells, enough to benefit her for a lifetime.

"But judging from your expression, you don't seem to want me to help her become stronger?"

Judging from Maki's expression, she was clearly shocked by what he said.

She didn't seem to have considered the possibility of Roy helping Mai become stronger, otherwise she wouldn't have been so shocked.

"Of course I never thought that way."

Maki gave Roy a strange look.

Although Zenin Maki is as stubborn as a bull, once she decides to do something, she won't turn back even if she hits a wall. She is often called a pressure monster by Panda and is used as the pressure-transferring agent for the team. However, she is self-aware and knows her own limitations. She would never make a shameless request like "asking Roy to help strengthen Maki".

“My request is something else—”

Maki took a deep breath, her expression hardening.

Under Roy's gaze, she slowly revealed her true request.

…………

The next day, on the day of the exchange meeting.

morning.

As soon as class started, the seven first and second-year students at the Tokyo school were already dressed and waiting under the huge torii gate in front of the school.

The teacher leading the group was Roy, the first-grade homeroom teacher.

Principal Masamichi Yagami also made a rare appearance, still dressed in all black like a secret agent, wearing sunglasses and a poker face, as always making it impossible to understand what he was thinking.

"coming."

They didn't have to wait long.

Then a group of eight figures appeared from the foot of the mountain and climbed up the steps.

The group of eight each exuded an aura completely different from ordinary people, making it clear at a glance that they were no ordinary individuals, and their appearance immediately attracted the attention of everyone at the Tokyo school.

There are six students in total, all in their second and third years at the Kyoto school.

Among the three second-year students was Zenin Mai, whom I had just met yesterday. However, unlike the strong sense of arrogance she gave off yesterday, she seemed unusually docile today, and even her manners had become much more ladylike.

The other person was a girl with long, light blue hair. Unlike the others who were wearing uniforms, she was wearing a full black suit with a Japanese sword hanging at her waist. Her face was tense, and she looked very serious.

The third person was quite eccentric.

At first glance, the figure appeared no different from an ordinary person, except that the skin was a strange dark brown, like that of dead wood. But upon closer inspection, it was not human at all, but a robot made entirely of metal, cleverly designed to look exactly like a human.

"Robots! There are robots!"

Yuji Itadori grabbed Megumi Fushiguro's sleeve, pointing excitedly at the robot.

It's like seeing Gundam appear in the real world; the Gundam fan's soul is ignited.

"Can you please stop being so embarrassing?"

Fushiguro Megumi glared at Itadori Yuuhito with barely concealed disgust, then pulled out her sleeve.

"That guy calls himself Ultimate Machine Maru. Although he looks like that, he is a genuine near-Level 1 Spellcaster, and his strength should not be underestimated!"

"So strong?!"

Hisahito Itadori's gaze immediately sharpened.

The strongest at Kyoto School is Toudou Aoi, a Level 1 mage, followed by two near-Level 1 mages, one of whom is the robot.

Boqi stood among the group of people, staring blankly at the sky.

What excuse will you use to desert your post later?

"Where's the blue-haired guy next to him?"

"Her name is Miwa Kasumi, she's also a second-year student, but I haven't heard that she's particularly strong..."

The students from the Tokyo school nodded in agreement.

In other words, the thing that needs the most attention in the second year is this Ultimate Machine Ball.

We absolutely cannot be careless when facing this guy!

On the third-year students' side at Kyoto School, one of them is the strongest among them, Toudou Aoi, who needs no introduction. The other two are a boy and a girl.

The girl in the picture, rather than being a young girl, looked more like a little girl, appearing to be only eleven or twelve years old. She was petite and cute, with her blonde hair tied into two broom-like buns on either side of her head.

Moreover, she was actually holding a broom almost as tall as herself, making her look like a medieval witch straight out of a movie. All she needed was a hat to perfectly cosplay as a witch.

"Nishimiya Momo, a third-year student, is a prospective level two sorcerer."

She is a qualified Level 2 student.

So, the last one who's almost a first-year student is that last third-year student?

Everyone turned to look at the last boy.

He was a handsome young man dressed in a very traditional and formal priest's robe, looking just like a priest in a shrine. His every move was quite composed and measured, but the way he squinted his eyes gave people a feeling of ill intent.

"Kamō Kenki, a third-year student, a near-first-level sorcerer, and the next head of the Kamo clan among the three major families, second only to Tōdō Aoi in strength!"

Looking at this lineup, everyone at the Tokyo school had an unusually serious expression.

Among the six students from Kyoto School, the weakest is a Level 3 mage. As near-Level 1 Ultimate Machine Maru and Kamo Kenki, either one could give them a run for their money, not to mention the even stronger Toudou Aoi.

Of the seven students at the Tokyo school, only Maki remained calm and composed, displaying ample confidence in her abilities.

Roy looked at the group of people climbing the steps below, a playful smile appearing on his face.

Leaving aside the others, Noriyuki Kamo, as the next head of the Kamo family, does have some merit.
