Morley was completely confused.
Originally, she thought that the exchange student Angelina was a little special, but now it seems that she is not just special, but extremely powerful.
This has even involved the Kushima family, which is no small matter!
"What are you talking about? Of course, I'm talking about Miss Lina's identity."
Yotsuba Mahiro knew what Mori was thinking, so she didn't beat around the bush and said directly, "Actually, Angelina Kudou Shields is the captain of the Stars team under USNA."
"and many more!"
Upon hearing this, Mayumi's eyes widened and she stood up in surprise, exclaiming, "Shinhiro, you mean Sirius from the Stars team???"
"Hmm." Mahiro gave a soft hum in affirmation.
"What evidence do you have? This is no joke."
Mori said very seriously, a point that Mayumi also agreed with.
"There's definitely no evidence right now. We can only say that the name uses a homophone. Even if we pin it on Lina, she probably wouldn't admit it. So all I can say is that this information comes from the Yotsuba family. Is that enough?"
"The Yotsuba family..."
Now, Mori and Mayumi had no more questions, and instead gasped in surprise.
After all, that's Gian Hillius, one of the thirteen publicly known strategic magicians in the world, and a representative of the strength of American magicians!
No one knows what she looks like, nor does anyone know her age or ethnicity.
The only thing known is that it's a strategic-level magic comparable to a nuclear explosion, and also possesses strong radiation—"Heavy Metal Explosion".
Now they're being told that he's just a student about their age?
That's just too unbelievable.
Seeing their reactions, Mahiro just smiled. What kind of expression would these people have if they knew that Tatsuya was "Maheshvara"?
"Well, I don't find it surprising at all."
Erica spoke up, resting her chin on her hand and looking Tatsuya and Mahiro up and down with a playful expression.
"Although strategic-level mages are strong, don't forget that we also have two monsters here, Yotsuba and Tatsuya. Oh right, Miyuki is also very strong. Lina even lost to her just now."
"..."
Now that you mention it, it does make a lot of sense.
"But... if Lina is a strategic-level mage, then what is her purpose in coming to First High School?"
It was Mizuki who voiced the question, and it could be said that her words echoed the sentiments of everyone.
Tatsuya already had a guess in his mind, but he had no evidence, so he chose not to speak recklessly.
"As for the purpose, I do know."
Shinji said quietly, "They're here for the 'Scorching Halloween' and for me."
He made no attempt to hide anything and spilled all the information he had.
This includes his complicated relationship with Ben Gide Beef Pizza... oh no, I mean Gide □ Shez □ Black Gu, and the connections involved.
If it were in the past, he definitely wouldn't have told them so much, since knowing too much without the strength is simply courting death.
But now, even Mizuki's strength can be said to be among the top in the department, so it doesn't matter if she says it.
If they want revenge, they'd better think twice about their own strength.
After hearing the story, everyone except Tatsuya, with his icy expression, and Miyuki, who already knew the inside story, looked at him with complicated expressions.
"Shinhime-kun, is there anything I can do to help this time?"
Sayaka, who was sitting next to him, reached out and gently took his hand.
For so long, Sayaka's greatest wish, besides staying by Mahiro's side, has been to be able to help him.
But Zhenxun went too far, leaving her and everyone else far behind.
It was only after she was injected with the enhancement drug that she realized just how big the gap in strength between herself and Mahiro truly was.
"Well, no need. As always, I'll handle this myself."
Upon hearing this, Erica's expression immediately changed, revealing her displeasure, but before she could speak, Mahiro quickly added:
"However, if we really want to help, there is one thing: please treat Lina normally, do not expose her identity, and also do not reveal her identity."
The last point is natural.
No one present had the habit of gossiping about others when they had nothing better to do.
As for the first two points, it was clearly about making them act out a play with Lina. Although they didn't know what Mahiro was planning, they eventually agreed under his strong insistence.
After all, the game has only just begun; how can it end so quickly?
-------------------------------------
During lunch break, the student cafeteria is open as usual.
Today, Lina came to sit at the same table with them as yesterday, just like yesterday. Although her social skills, which are exemplary among international students, forced her to decline many invitations.
"Lina is really popular."
Thank you. I'm so glad everyone is so kind to me.
Because she had promised Mahiro, Erika teased Lina as usual.
Lina didn't show any pointless shyness or modesty, but responded casually.
Speaking of which, apart from Miyuki, it seems that Erika is the person who is closest to Lina at this table.
Perhaps it's because they are both of mixed European and American descent that they inexplicably have something in common.
Although one is from the USNA and the other is from Germany.
“Speaking of which, Miyuki, your magic is really amazing.” Lina said with a slight sense of discouragement, “I’m practically undefeated among American high school students, but I can never beat Miyuki.”
And Honoka too. Although I'm stronger overall, I'm utterly defeated when it comes to precision control.
"Lina, an internship is an internship, not a competition. I think it's better not to care too much about winning or losing."
Shen Xue gently comforted her.
This wasn't acting; Lina genuinely felt frustrated.
Especially with Miyuki.
Driven by a woman's most primal competitive instincts, since she is equally beautiful in appearance, she always tries to excel in other areas.
As a result, he accidentally lost some of the most important things for a magician.
What kind of monsters are Japanese high school students?
If Miyuki is this strong, just how strong must Yotsuba Mahiro be?
Unconsciously, amidst Miyuki's comforting words, Lina's gaze fell on Mahiro across the table.
And Mahiro, who happened to be looking directly at her, slowly smiled and said, as if joking:
"By the way, there's something I'm curious about that I'd like to ask Lina."
"what is the problem?"
"Isn't your name Angelina? Normally, your nickname should be 'Angie,' not 'Lina,' right?"
"That's how it should be... but it's not unusual to call her Lina. It's mainly because when I was in elementary school, there was a girl in my class named Angela, and everyone called her Angela, so I became Lina."
This shouldn't be a problem that causes inner turmoil.
At least Erika, Mizuki, and Honoka, who were sitting at the same table, thought so.
However, a look of panic instantly appeared on Lina's face, and even her smile when answering was somewhat awkward and forced.
This is of course.
After all, the pseudonym she used as "Sirius"—Gianhilius—was a change from her real name.
Let's not even talk about Hillous, it's just a homonym for Shells, and Gian... is completely the opposite of Angie!
If we call him Angie, wouldn't that give us away?!
But why would he ask such a question? Has he already been exposed?
Lina realized that she really didn't seem to be suited for espionage work.
It makes me anxious every day, wondering if I've exposed anything. The worst part is, the target always has that smile on their face; what are they really thinking? It's completely incomprehensible!
I'm so angry!
Chapter 99 You don't want your identity to be exposed, do you?
"Waaah... Sylvie, what should we do..."
After school, back in her apartment, Lina, looking utterly exhausted, slumped over the table and complained to her roommate:
"That guy asked me about my name again today... Why is Angelina called Lena instead of Angelina..."
"Ugh...."
As Lina's roommate, Sylvia was also deeply troubled by Lina's tearful complaints.
Such complaints are not new, or rather, they have been happening since the very first day of formally encountering the target students.
Every day, they are subjected to psychological torture in various ways by their target, Yotsuba Mahiro.
Although the questions were always very ordinary and the tone was normal, they always managed to make Lina's heart pound with fear, to the point that she would always come back and say things like, "Have I been exposed?"
It might seem like they've exposed themselves, but it all just looks like they're curious about the transfer student.
But to say that nothing has been exposed, there are some issues that sound rather subtle, like today's situation.
A state completely in the state of quantum entanglement.
"Sylvie, do you think I should just give up on this mission? It's completely not for me!"
"Please don't complain like that, Lina."
Sylvia brought over a cup of sweet milk tea and placed it on the table, gently pushing it towards the girl, comforting her, "We're just trying to investigate the true nature of our target and find the culprit behind the 'Scorching Halloween'."
"That's true, but being subjected to mental torture every day is driving me crazy!"
"Lina, don't forget we have another mission besides this."
"..."
When Sylvia mentioned another task, Lina immediately sat up, her expression turning serious, her gaze sharp as she stared at the milky white liquid in her glass, her fingertips lightly rubbing the glass, and her lips involuntarily pursing.
"...I understand. I will investigate the truth about Yotsuba Mahiro as quickly as possible in my own way, and I will also do my best to find out the culprit behind the 'Scorching Halloween'..."
Finally, I will do my best to complete that task.
The girl's last words seemed to be spoken to her roommate, Sylvia, yet also to herself.
That was her duty as the captain of Stars, Sirius, and also the duty she least wanted to face: to clean house as an executioner.
However, the solution she came up with for Yotsuba Mahiro was—
-------------------------------------
"Mahiro, I'm counting on you for the rest of the trip~"
Yes, I've been asked to do this.
After school, just as Yotsuba Mahiro was about to go home, she was conscripted by the student council.
Lina wanted to visit the after-school extracurricular activity clubs at school and specifically asked him to be her guide.
The reason is that President Nanagusa, Chairman Watanabe, Miyuki and Tatsuya are all busy, Sayaka, who knows a lot about the club, has to participate in the kendo club's activities, and Erika is not interested in or knows anything about these things, so she can only ask him, a free person, for help.
"Lina, you really don't listen to advice."
Why did Yotsuba say that?
Lina and Mahiro walked side by side down the nearly deserted corridor. The twilight light streamed through the windows onto the white floor tiles. Lina slightly raised her sky-blue eyes to look at him, but saw Mahiro shrug slightly.
"It's simple. I remember when we first met at the shrine, I suggested you get a pair of glasses, but you didn't listen."
"That's because I'm not nearsighted at all. It was an accident that I mistook you for someone I knew at the shrine."
