Unspeakable bubbles

"I will definitely work hard!"

"..."

"........."

Seeing Emma's energetic demeanor, the student council members all wore subtle expressions.

Well, this new teacher fell right into the trap.

They're just too easy to deal with.

Think back to when Nakazawa Chisa was back then, what did she say?

"You little brats, I don't need your acknowledgment!"

"Whether you admit it or not, you'll still get that same meager salary, won't you?"

"Oh, right, I promised the old man I would discipline you properly."

"Anyone who dares to disrespect me, I'll break their legs!"

Well, that's how it is.

Comparing the two, Reiko suddenly found Emma teacher to be quite adorable.

All in all, it's much better than that awful Chisato.

"Who wants to go first!"

Emma stared at Reiko, and said eagerly.

“I am first and foremost.”

Mizushima stood up: "The president is the ultimate boss. If you want to challenge her, you have to get past me first."

"What are we comparing?"

"I like reading, so let's compete on that."

How do we compare them?

"Let's go to the library."

Section 433, Chapter 432: Darkness and Radiance

“Miss Emma, ​​I’ll have Bubble help me pick out three books later.”

Because it was during class time, the library was unusually quiet. Mizushima Takashi began explaining the rules of winning and losing.

"We'll spend two hours going through the books, and then Xiaoyu will randomly pick ten questions from the three books."

"Whoever answers the most questions correctly wins, how about it?"

"it is good!"

Emma readily agreed, a confident expression on her face.

Comparing shorthand and reading volume? No problem.

In order not to disappoint my grandfather's expectations, I have worked very hard in these two aspects.

"He's just a student; as long as he doesn't cheat, there's no way he can lose."

As for cheating...

With Bubble and Jade, two neutral participants, involved, Emma felt that the competition could be guaranteed to be fair.

"Bubble, thank you for your help."

Mizushima looked at the little girl and said, "Please pick out three books from this library at random."

"Oh!"

The little girl nodded and disappeared in a flash.

"Alright, Bubble's gone to find the book now, we'll wait here..."

Before Reiko Hatta could finish speaking, she was surprised to find the little girl who had just run away walking towards her with a smile.

'So fast! '

'Oh no, I forgot to remind her to bring three different types of books. If they were all the same type, it would be much easier.'

'I really just grabbed a few books randomly.'

'Sigh, I was hoping for an interesting development.'

Seeing everyone staring at her with strange expressions, the little girl stopped in her tracks.

"what happened?"

"Hey, Bubble, what book did you bring? Let me see it."

Mizushima coughed, took a few steps to the little girl, and extended his hand to her.

"Bubble originally wanted to slowly find some interesting books, but they suddenly jumped into Bubble's hands."

"Give!"

"..."

Holding the book the little girl had found, Mizushima immediately looked puzzled.

The titles of these books are really strange.

Why would such a suspicious book be in the library of Laplace College?

"Mizushima, bring it here quickly!"

"You're not thinking of cheating, are you? Hurry up."

"How could you, as a contestant, get access to the book before Emma?"

"No, no. The book Bubble found is very strange!"

Mizushima quickly put the book on the table: "Look!"

"Lord of Billions of Radiant Light?"

""Original God of Darkness"!"

"The Unity of All Things?"

The group exchanged bewildered glances. Indeed, the titles of these books... were really strange!

"It's a religious book, right? It's full of praise for God."

Kaoru Takehara hesitated for a moment before saying, “Judging from the titles, brilliance and darkness are opposites, so the two gods depicted in the first and second books are probably enemies.”

“Yes, that makes sense. No wonder it’s Kaoru.” Hilda nodded seriously.

"And the third book, 'All Things Return to One'... its meaning is a bit unclear."

"It's a kind of religious ideology."

Petty said thoughtfully, "If everything is one, then light and darkness are also unified? According to this idea, perhaps these three books are a set."

"So, 'One set' means that 'Lord of Billions of Radiance' and 'God of the Original Darkness' are actually two sides of the same coin of a certain god?"

Kaoru Takehara frowned slightly: "This god's rank is too high, it's ridiculously high."

"Alright, alright, let's put aside all this talk of gods and magic for now, let's start the competition."

Petty waited for a while, and seeing that Takehara seemed to be about to launch into a long speech, she impatiently asked, "Mizushima, and Emma, ​​do you have any other questions? Can we start the match?"

"……Can."

Mizushima adjusted his glasses. Although the titles of the three books were strange, Reiko was still here, and he could not possibly back down now.

"I am ready."

Emma said seriously, "Let's start the timer."

"Alright, since neither of the participants has any questions."

"Then, all irrelevant persons, please step aside."

Reiko gestured for the student council members to step back: "Give the two contestants some space. No interference in any way is allowed during the competition!"

"Okay, all done."

"I hereby declare the match open!"

Emma took the book "Lord of Billions of Radiance" first, while Mizushima chose "The Original God of Darkness".

"..."

As soon as he turned to the first page, Mizushima's heart began to pound wildly.

Twisted and sinister words danced on the paper, black lines forming ominous patterns.

The jumbled pile of words resembled cheers and shouts.

Strange faces appeared on the paper, staring at the water island, their mouths opening and closing as they repeatedly said something.

Ryuichi Mizushima's eyes seemed glued to the paper, and gradually, a realization dawned on him.

"Original God of Darkness!"

Mizushima suddenly started gesturing wildly and roaring loudly.

The blank white paper made Miss Emma frown.

Is this a trap set for myself?

Just as doubt arose, an ethereal voice resounded in my mind.

"?"

Emma couldn't make out what the voice was saying, but she had a strange intuition.

That's true.

That's the truth.
