Seeing her blushing face, I thought she was very cute. Just as I was about to say something, Negi came down from upstairs and waved to us, saying, "Brother, we're here!" He then walked towards us, with Asuna following behind him.

"Yes!" I nodded with a smile.

"Negi-sensei!" Setsuna put down the cup in her hand on the table and stood up to say.

After Negi walked up to Setsuna, he immediately said, "I'm sorry, Setsuna! I was doubting you before, I'm really sorry!"

Seeing Negi's apologetic expression, Setsuna hurriedly said, "It's nothing, as long as I can protect Miss's safety, that's enough!"

"I'm so sorry, I actually doubted the swordswoman!" Camo said immediately. After witnessing Setsuna's swordsmanship in the bath and learning that she and Negi were on the same side, his way of addressing Setsuna immediately changed.

Just as Setsuna was about to say something, Asuna patted her shoulder and said with a smile, "I only know that Setsuna-san doesn't dislike Konoka, so a friend of a friend is a friend of mine."

"Kaguraban-kun...!" Setsuna said shyly.

Looking at the group of people talking, I smiled and said, "Alright, let's talk about that later. Let's talk about the information on our enemy first! Setsuna... you know the most, so explain it to Negi!"

"Ah... I understand, Young Master!" Hearing me say that, Setsuna realized he had misunderstood and immediately resumed his warrior's stance, slowly saying, "Our enemies this time are probably a part of the Kansai Spellcasting Association, that is, 'Spellcasters' who use Onmyodo. The ones who attacked us before were the shikigami they were controlling..."

After learning about the enemy's intelligence, Negi breathed a sigh of relief, thinking, "Great! With my brother, Asuna, and Setsuna's help, I have nothing to fear. Now all I have to do is deliver the handwritten letter I brought to their student council president..."

At that moment, I stood up and said to Negi, Asuna, and Setsuna, "I'm going on patrol. I'll leave the security of the inn to you."

"Brother, let me go!" Negi volunteered when he heard me say that.

"No need, Negi, you should rest well today!" I said to Negi with a smile.

“But brother…” Negi said, as if he wanted to say something.

I immediately interrupted Negi and said, "No need to say more, you should all get some rest tonight!" With that, I walked out of the hall.

After walking a short distance after stepping out of the gate, I vanished from the spot in an instant.

When I reappeared, I was in a small grove of trees about three miles from the inn. In this grove, besides myself, stood two short figures. Both figures appeared to be around ten years old. One wore a black school uniform, open at the waist, with a beanie on his head and messy black hair; the other wore a gray school uniform, with silver hair, and dressed impeccably. The black-haired boy smiled, his eyes filled with fighting spirit; the silver-haired boy had a cold expression, his eyes devoid of emotion.

“It’s out, it’s really out. You’re really capable! Can I go first?” Kotaro, with black hair, looked at me and said to Fate-Avelex with a smile.

"Whatever, but... you're no match for him!" Fate-Avellux said casually, glancing at Kotaro with his arms crossed.

"How would you know if you don't beat me? I'm really strong!" Kotaro immediately retorted with a smile.

"What do you want from me?" I asked with a smile.

"You're that 'Miracle Child,' right? I've heard you're very strong, and I'm going to defeat you!" Kotaro said, full of fighting spirit.

"Seeing I've fallen for your trap, you're using a powerful aura specifically targeted at me? That seems interesting!" I said calmly, looking at the battle-ready Kotaro. As I spoke, Kotaro charged forward and delivered a powerful punch to me.

"Bang!" Kotaro's heavy punch landed firmly in my palm, and a loud thud was heard between the fist and the hand.

After his attack failed, Kotaro immediately retreated and then charged forward again. He wasn't surprised that I blocked his attack, because the previous attack was just a test.

Seeing Kotaro rushing towards me, I calmly said, "Binding Spell Number Nine, Strike!" As soon as I finished speaking, a red light instantly froze Kotaro in place, rendering him unable to move.

"What did you do, you bastard? Yin-Yang magic or Western magic?" Kotaro, frozen in place, could only shout.

"A puppy is cuter when it's well-behaved!" I said with a smile as I walked up to Kotaro and patted his head.

"You bastard!!"

“You don’t seem worried about him at all! Aren’t you comrades?” Ignoring Kotaro’s shouting, I looked at Fate-Avellux and asked.

"It's good to teach him a lesson!" Fate said calmly, glancing at Kotaro, who was standing motionless in the distance.

"Oh, aren't you afraid you can't handle me by yourself?" I said with a smile.

“…Barrier Breakthrough? Stone Spear!” Fate didn’t answer my question. He simply vanished from his previous position and reappeared behind me. While I was still in shock, he had already completed the magic incantation.

The earth cracked open instantly, and more than a dozen stone spears emerged, piercing my body and pinning me to the air. My expression remained the same one of surprise when I saw Fate.

“Because there’s no need for that! ‘Miracle Child’ Kuchiki Ten!” Fate said coldly.

"So... do you think this will kill me?" I said calmly, standing behind Fate after he finished speaking.

"An afterimage? It actually managed to fool my eyes!" Fate said in a calm tone.

"Binding Spell #4, This Rope! Destruction Spell #31, Crimson Fire Cannon!" The first Binding Spell held Fate in place for only a second before Fate broke free. However, he had no chance to dodge my second Destruction Spell. Crimson light burst forth from his body. Because a barrier had been set up beforehand, otherwise he would have been discovered long ago.

After the light faded, a long, thin crater remained in the woods. The spot where I had stood was now empty. My voice echoed from the air: "I have to go now. We'll meet again!"

“Miracle Child…!” Fate murmured, looking at the grove where I was no longer present.

At this moment, Kotaro, who had been unable to break free of the bindings for a long time, angrily transformed into his half-beast form. With his strength greatly increased, he instantly broke free of the bindings. After breaking free, Kotaro immediately cursed, "Damn it!" and then raised his fist and slammed it heavily into the ground. Mud and rocks tumbled, and a large crater was instantly created in the ground. After throwing this punch, Kotaro also transformed back into his normal form from his half-beast form.

After parting ways with Fate, I immediately rushed towards Konoka's direction, arriving at a certain station in just over ten seconds. When I arrived, Negi, Asuna, Setsuna, and Chigusa were confronting each other on the stairs, while Konoka was fast asleep in the arms of a shikigami that looked like a monkey.

I immediately used Shunpo to stand in front of Negi, and under Chigusa's surprised gaze, I said in a cold tone, "Release my fiancée!"

Upon seeing my cold expression, Amasaki Chigusa, dressed in a hotel staff uniform, immediately smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to follow me here. Those two kids really disappointed me. Did you take care of them?"

"No, I just want to get rid of them," I said calmly.

Hearing this, Chigusa slowly smiled, took out a talisman, looked at me, and said, "Is that so! Then it all ends here." She then threw the talisman at us and shouted, "Take this! Three Talisman Techniques! Kyoto Daimonji-yaki!"

The staircase, which had been empty, suddenly burst into crimson flames, swallowing me up in the process.

"Hehe..." Chigusa burst into laughter as soon as she saw me engulfed in flames.

"Young Master Tian!" Shana shouted immediately, preparing to rush towards the flames.

"Brother!" Negi couldn't help but call out as well.

"Mr. Kuchiki!"

Just as Negi was at his wit's end, my cold voice came from the flames: "Sit on the Frosty Sky! Hyōrinmaru!" As soon as I finished speaking, a white light burst out of the flames, and the crimson flames instantly went out and froze into ice. The surface of the stairs was covered with ice, and white mist filled the air. The cold air made Setsuna, Negi, and Asuna shiver.

"Brother!" Negi shouted excitedly as soon as he saw the figure in the white mist.

"Young Master Ten (Kuchiki-sensei)!" Setsuna and Asuna both shouted with smiles on their faces.

I stood in the middle of the ice, holding a knife in one hand, my whole body enveloped in white light, my hair flowing behind my head moving without wind, and I looked at Amasaki Chigusa with a cold expression. In that instant, all the ice shattered into pieces the size of fingernails, slowly turning into white specks of light and gradually disappearing.

While Chigusa was still staring in astonishment at everything before her, I glanced down at my yukata and slowly said, "This outfit doesn't seem suitable for combat, so... let's finish this quickly! Setsuna, clear the obstacles for me!" With that, I slowly walked towards Chigusa.

"Yes, Young Master Tian!" As soon as I finished speaking, he immediately raised the Yuu Nagi in his hand and rushed up behind me.

“Let’s help too!” Asuna said to Negi as she watched Setsuna rush forward.

"Understood." Negi nodded immediately, then quickly raised the card in his hand and said, "Contract execution 180 seconds, Negi's follower, Kaguraban Asuna! Ability activated!"

As soon as Negi finished speaking, a visible light enveloped Asuna, and a paper stick resembling a folding fan appeared in her hand. Asuna immediately rushed towards Amasaki Chigusa with a speed no less than Setsuna's.

Just as Setsuna was about to rush towards Chigusa, a monkey-shaped puppet and a bear-shaped puppet appeared in front of Chigusa. One blocked Setsuna's attack, while the other raised its bear paw and smashed it down on Setsuna. Setsuna immediately retreated and landed right next to me as I slowly walked towards Chigusa.

"Young Master Tian! I'm sorry!" Setsuna immediately apologized for not clearing the obstacle.

"How could this be... The doll started moving on its own?" Asuna exclaimed in surprise as she watched the two shikigami automatically counterattack.

Setsuna immediately explained, "This is what I mentioned before: the talisman enables benevolent spirits to protect other spirits!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Chigusa laughed and said, "Hehehe... My bear demon and monkey demon are very strong, let them play with you slowly!" As she spoke, she carried the unconscious Konoka on her shoulder, and the bear demon and monkey demon also came towards us.

As soon as Chigusa finished speaking, I was already standing less than two meters in front of her, and coldly asked, "Is that so?" As soon as I finished speaking, the bear demon and monkey demon that had been rushing towards Setsuna and Asuna turned into ice blocks and fell in front of the two of them. Then, like the ice before, they turned into white specks of light and gradually disappeared!

"When?"

"I'll say it again, release my fiancée!" I said slowly in a cold voice, looking at the astonished Chigusa.

As I spoke, a girl wielding a short sword suddenly leaped out from behind me, her target being me, standing in front of Chigusa. I immediately raised my 'Hyōrinmaru' to meet her attack. Swords clashed, figures flashed, and the girl fell behind me, rolling several times before getting to her feet. However, she didn't attack again. Instead, she immediately lay on the ground, looking around with bewildered eyes and groping around, muttering, "My glasses... my glasses...!"

Asuna looked at the girl who was groping around in front of her, lowered her raised hands, and asked with a puzzled expression, "Is she really my enemy?"

Although Setsuna was in a defensive posture, she said uncertainly, "Probably!"

Holding the 'Hyōrinmaru' in one hand and my glasses in the other, I stared at Chigusa and slowly said, "Let her go!" Then I walked slowly toward her.

Chigusa hurriedly shielded Konoka in front of her, timidly crying out, "Don't come any closer, or I'll...!"

"Let go of Konoka right now, you despicable bastard!" Negi, who hadn't had a chance to make a move, couldn't help but shout when he saw Chigusa using Konoka as a shield.

Seeing that I didn't move, Chigusa immediately laughed and said, "Haha...this girl is indeed useful, so I'll continue to use her! How about using talismans and potions to turn her into an obedient puppet?"

As soon as Chigusa finished speaking, a chilling killing intent erupted from my body. Asuna, Setsuna, and Negi's eyes also turned unusually angry, with Setsuna's being even stronger, emitting a killing intent as intense as mine. Almost at the same time, we all slowly asked, "What...did you say?"

Chigusa lost her composure under my intense killing intent, and in that instant, Negi released his magic.

"Wind Flower - Armor Disarmed!"

A strong gust of wind blew up, and Chigusa's clothes and Konoka's yukata were all turned into pieces. Konoka was also sent flying into the sky by the power of magic. After seeing the unconscious Konoka fly out, I immediately jumped up and hugged Konoka in my arms, floating in mid-air.

When I looked back at Chigusa, she had already been sent flying by Setsuna. After leaving behind a threatening remark, Setsuna summoned a shikigami, grabbed the girl who was groping on the ground, and ran away.

Chapter 236 Kagura Bell

The second day of the graduation trip, early morning

"Alright... students of Mahora Junior High... let's get started!" I said with a smile, holding a microphone in my hand and standing next to Shizuna.

"Let's get started!" the energetic girls shouted in unison. Although each girl's voice was not loud, their voices combined were quite loud.

"Mr. Kuchiki...please sit here!" A female student from Class B waved to me and said.

"Mr. Kuchiki... should sit here!"

"Little Teacher Negi, come sit here with your big sister!"

"here…!"

"...!!!"

"Brother Tian, ​​Negi, sit here!" As more and more people started talking, the scene became a bit chaotic. At this moment, Konoka, with a big smile on her face, held cutlery in her hands and said to Negi and me. Beside her were Setsuna, whose face was flushed, and Asuna, who looked puzzled.

"Okay!" Negi and I hurriedly agreed, then quickly picked up the breakfast that Ms. Shizuna had brought us and went over.

As Setsuna and Negi walked over, she picked up her cutlery to offer her seat, but Konoka noticed her movement and immediately grabbed her sleeve, asking, "Setsuna, where are you going?"

"Young Miss, I... I want to give Young Master Tian a seat!" Shana said hurriedly.

"No need!" Konaka immediately said with a smile.

"Yeah, anyway, so many people have invited him to sit down, I really don't understand?" Asuna nodded immediately after Konoka finished speaking.

After Negi and I sat down, Konoka immediately smiled and said to Negi, "Negi, you look like you haven't had enough sleep... Um, thank you so much for saving me last night, along with Ten-nii, Kosatsu, and Asuna!"

"Ah... actually, I didn't do anything. It was all done by my brother, Setsuna, and Asuna!" Negi hurriedly said with a smile.

"Konaka, really, how can you still laugh after something like that?" Asuna put down her chopsticks and looked at Konaka with a puzzled expression.
