Blinking, the girl asked curiously again:

"Kira-kun, what's the difference between these three?"

"If I had to point out a difference..."

Kira Yoshikage pondered for a moment before slowly speaking, "Onmyoji mainly rely on external forces, fighting through shikigami and talismans. Spellcasters rely more on their own spells, but this also leads to a very small number of spellcasters, whose future achievements largely depend on the strength of their spells. But ultimately, the foundation that determines the future heights of both is the total amount of their spell power."

“Psionicists, on the other hand, mainly emphasize idealism.”

"Idealism?"

Kaguya Shinomiya and Nagisa Kashiwagi exchanged glances, their eyes filled with confusion. Was this the idealism they understood?

Idealism within idealism?

Instead of explaining further, Yoshikage Kira asked:

"What are your techniques?"

Kaguya Shinomiya didn't hide anything and immediately replied:

"My magical ability is to control temperature. I can absorb the temperature of the surrounding things, and the absorbed temperature will be stored in the spell... psionic energy, which can be released at any time when needed."

Kashiwagi Nagisa raised his hand and smiled slyly:

"Kira-kun, I have lots of water!"

Looking at the girl who was earnestly introducing herself as having plenty of water, Kaguya Shinomiya's face was frosty as she coldly explained:

"Her ability is to create and control water."

"嘁~"

Kashiwagi Nagisa pouted, stretched out her fair little hand, and a ball of clear water slowly condensed into a heart shape in her palm.

Kaguya Shinomiya stretched out her palm and lightly touched the surface of the water sphere with her slender white index finger. In the blink of an eye, the water sphere cracked and solidified into an ice ball.

Although they had been warned by a mysterious force to keep their techniques strictly secret, and only to reveal them in a last resort to enhance their power, Kaguya Shinomiya and Nagisa Kashiwagi clearly didn't want to hide anything from Yoshikage Kira, and completely disregarded the consequences of doing so.

"Do you control the temperature and water?"

After a moment's thought, Yoshikage Kira realized that both of them had enormous potential for improvement.

Controlling the temperature allows for both the absorption and release of heat.

Absorbing heat can cause water to freeze rapidly, theoretically even reaching absolute zero, bringing the world to a state of absolute stillness.

Theoretically, releasing heat could also unleash an attack with a temperature exceeding that of the sun's core, completely evaporating the entire planet!

In other words, the upper limit of this technique can be infinitely high!

Of course, this is only in theory.

Kaguya Shinomiya's psychic powers aren't enough to enable her to do anything significant, but they're not so limited to making only a small contribution to global warming either. Simple tasks like freezing water, turning a person into an ice cube, or using high temperatures to ignite a human body would be easy for her.

Kashiwagi Nagisa's ability to control water would be a perfect match for Shinomiya Kaguya.

After all, judging from Kaguya Shinomiya's performance, it would be extremely difficult to freeze or ignite someone out of thin air.

Because both absorbing and releasing heat are large-scale 'attacks,' it's difficult to target an individual without a medium.

In other words, Kaguya Shinomiya has little chance of posing a threat to enemies who maintain their distance from her.

However, if water is used as a medium, the situation is completely different. In that case, Kaguya Shinomiya can absorb the heat of the water and turn it into ice spikes to shoot at the enemy. She can also freeze people who are covered in water, turning her from a clumsy melee fighter into a noble ranged unit!

If we say that Kaguya Shinomiya without Nagisa Kashiwagi is a level 1 angel, although she is invincible in close combat, she will be very uncomfortable if she can't touch anyone.

With Nagisa Kashiwagi, Kaguya Shinomiya is a level 6 angel. Although it's still difficult for her to defeat an equally matched opponent, she can at least get close to them.

If their teamwork is skilled enough, they can even rival a level 16 angel and crush any opponent!

Their potential ceiling depends on their level of control over their own abilities and their level of synergy with each other; they might be level 6 angels, level 11 angels, or even level 16 angels.

The differences in strength between the three are enormous.

But regardless, their strength ceiling is what it is.

Kaguya Shinomiya said softly:

"Miss Mingming said that our current strength is roughly equivalent to a level 3 sorcerer. As long as we practice diligently, we can at least become level 1 sorcerers in the future."

"so."

Kashiwagi Nagisa raised her eyes to look at Kira Yoshikage, her wine-red eyes filled with expectation. "Kira-kun, our abilities should be able to help you, right?"

Despite the two girls' eager, expectant gazes, Yoshikage Kira continued speaking at a steady, unhurried pace:

"I think there might be some misunderstanding between us. Although I did save you, I'm not a hero busy saving the world, nor am I busy exorcising cursed spirits every day. I'm just an ordinary person, someone who needs to go to school during the day and work at night to earn a living, and who longs for a peaceful life."

Nagisa Kashiwagi's smile remains as sweet as ever:

"Me too, Kira-kun. If I could, I would also like to live a peaceful life. If the person I like also happens to like a peaceful life, that would be even better."

Kaguya Shinomiya remained silent for a long time, her cool voice carrying a hint of expectation:

"My life isn't peaceful, but I'll try my best not to disturb the peace that Kira-kun longs for, is that alright?"

As a member of the Shinomiya family, her future is destined to be anything but smooth sailing, unless she leaves the Shinomiya family.

But that's impossible; whether or not she can leave the Shinomiya family is not up to her.

"This is your freedom."

Yoshikage Kira appeared calm, seemingly uninterested in either of their choices.

But his body language betrayed him; his gaze never left the two men's hands.

The two girls sitting on either side of him gave him an overwhelming sense of beauty.

"Well then, Kira-kun, let's add each other on LINE!"

Having received Kira Yoshikage's almost tacit approval, Kashiwagi Nagisa excitedly pulled out her phone.

Chapter 126: I've chosen you!

Since 1987, many schools in Japan have implemented a relaxed teaching approach, not assigning students excessive homework, and not publishing rankings of exam results, but instead sending individual report cards to each student.

Therefore, children born after 1987 are also known as the "relaxed generation".

But this is not absolute.

Because in many schools that practice elite education, students' grades are still published publicly.

Shuchiin Academy is one of them.

On the first Friday of June, when students arrive at school, the first thing they see is the publicly displayed ranking list.

Although we don't usually attend classes together.

However, students in pure and mixed colleges take the same exams, and their exam scores are ranked together.

however--

"Wow, that's amazing! Almost all of the top 100 are students from the Pure Academy!"

"There's nothing we can do about it; they're a pure college after all."

"As expected, the number one is Kaguya Shinomiya. It is said that she has always been the top student in the whole school since junior high school."

"The second-place student, Shijou Maki, is also very impressive. The Shijou family is said to be a branch of the Shinomiya family, right?"

"So, it turns out that families like this really do have superior genes? People like us can't win!"

"But don't there also be geniuses in mixed-age families? Like Yukinoshita from Class A, who actually managed to get third place despite being surrounded by students from the pure-age families! That's amazing!"

"Huh? The third place is actually a student from a mixed-age college?"

"I remember Yukinoshita also comes from a wealthy family, right?"

The students gathered around the bulletin board, discussing among themselves. Among them were students from Class A, who proudly declared that Yukino Yukinoshita was from Class A, even though they had no interaction with her at all. But that didn't dampen their excitement.

Miura Yumiko's group of four, who were also living a vibrant life, were also gathered near the bulletin board. However, instead of crowding in front of the bulletin board like the boys, they stood a little further away and looked at the names on the bulletin board.

Kitagawa Kaimu sincerely praised:

"May, you're amazing."

Satsuki Nakano blushed slightly at the compliment and spoke in a soft voice:

"It's not that impressive, only 65th place."

Yui Yuigahama muttered to herself:

"63rd place is already amazing, okay? Almost everyone ahead of you is from the Pure Academy. And I didn't see any other Class C students ahead of you. Even Shirogane Miyuki is only 82nd. You're definitely number one in the class this time!"

The more Yui Yuigahama praised her, the more Nakano Satsuki blushed.

"That's not the point, is it?"

Yumiko Miura glanced at her two friends and pointed to Satsuki Nakano's name on the bulletin board. "What I'm more curious about is why there are five Nakanos, and their names range from Ichika to Satsuki. Are you related?"

From 61st to 65th, a full five places, all of them were occupied by Nakano!

Furthermore, these five people had the exact same score, and even their names were very similar, all being named with numbers.

If you say it's a coincidence, Yumiko Miura would absolutely not believe it!

Nakano Satsuki guiltily looked away:

"Haha, didn't I tell you? I'm actually a quintuplets."

"Five babies?"

Yui Yuigahama's mouth dropped open. "Isn't this a bit too much of an exaggeration, no matter how you look at it?"

Kitagawa Kaimu's sharp commentary:

"Five babies is bad enough, but their academic abilities are all so high, and their scores are even the same. Do you guys have some kind of telepathy?"

Nakano Satsuki stiffened slightly and silently lowered her head, feeling incredibly embarrassed.

Oh no! How is she going to explain this?

Should I admit that I cheated by using Nino's telepathy and Yukino's academic ability?

Stop praising me!
