I'm doing abstract animation

Miura Yumiko, without suspecting anything, nodded and walked out of the classroom.

Hayato Hayama is the ace of the soccer club, and he'll definitely be there for any soccer club events.

Stepping out of the school gate, she didn't know where to go for a moment. Usually, Ebina Hina and Yuigahama Yui would accompany her, but today, coincidentally, both of them had something to do, leaving her alone.

"Forget it, go home."

People are often like this: when there are many people, they can come up with all sorts of creative ideas, but when they are alone, they are more inclined to stay at home.

As she walked along familiar streets, something glittering suddenly caught her attention.

It was a narrow alley, at the end of which was a trash can, and the shiny thing lay quietly in front of it.

"Strange... Is there really such an alley here?"

Yumiko Miura looked around blankly, finding the surrounding scenery all so familiar, but she had absolutely no recollection of this alley.

Yumiko Miura hesitated for a moment, looked around, and when she found that no one was paying attention, she walked inside somewhat guiltily.

Humans are unable to resist sparkly things, especially women and children, and Yumiko Miura is no exception.

Fearing being seen, Miura Yumiko moved very quickly, almost running, to the front of the trash can.

She picked up the shiny object with some curiosity.

After holding it in her hand and examining it for a while, Miura Yumiko murmured somewhat uncertainly.

"This is... a gemstone?"

It was a round, green stone with a very smooth surface, and it felt cool to the touch.

"It's the same color as my eyes..."

Yumiko Miura held the gemstone up to the sunlight. Under the sunlight, the green round stone shimmered with an unusual light, appearing both green and blue.

The light seemed to possess a strange allure, and Miura Yumiko found herself inexplicably captivated by it.

She seemed to see a tiny black dot in the center of the round stone, and under the sunlight, that black dot seemed to gradually expand like ink...

What exactly is this...?

Miura Yumiko stared wide-eyed, not missing a single detail, intently watching the tiny black dot gradually disperse and deform...

This seems to be...

Eye? !

Volume 1: Chapter 9 Awakening

Suddenly, Miura Yumiko woke up with a start, her face filled with terror, and her pupils began to dart wildly involuntarily.

A piercing pain shot through her eyes.

"what!"

With a scream, she covered her eyes and knelt on the ground. The green round stone in her hand rolled to the side, but the black dot inside, which had turned into an eye, stared at her intently, seemingly containing endless mockery.

Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!

Endless pain surged from her eye sockets into Miura Yumiko's brain. She rolled around on the ground in pain, her neat school uniform covered in dust, and bloodstains and dirt covered her once fair and smooth long legs. But no matter how much pain she was in, she covered her eyes tightly.

She felt in horror that her eyes were being pulled away by something, desperately trying to look outwards!

Never let go!

Once you let go, it's all over!

"Yumiko, Yumiko, are you alright?!"

Just then, a familiar yet anxious voice rang in her ears.

"Yui... Yui..."

She covered her eyes tightly, feeling her eyeballs being pushed outwards under her eyelids. Waves of pain surged through her mind, driving her almost insane. She wanted to call for help, but then she suddenly remembered the strange bead. Finally, she struggled on the ground and uttered four words.

"Yui...run!!"

"What should I do, what should I do, what should I do..." Yui Yuigahama was so anxious that she was about to cry, or rather, she had already started crying.

Tears streamed down her face and onto her chest. She wanted to rush forward and hug her friend, but Miura Yumiko was rolling around on the ground, covering her eyes. She couldn't find a chance to get close and instead got hit hard several times.

"By the way, Yuuki-san, please, Yuuki-san..."

She thought of Yuuki, who had brought her there, and hurriedly turned around, grabbing his sleeve and pleading, "Please, please save Yumiko! I'll do anything, please save her..."

Tears splashed onto Yukiri's clothes, but his face remained unchanged, as indifferent as ever.

"Yui Yuigahama, let me tell you the truth. I saved you because you are worth saving. As a supporting actress, no matter how washed up you are, you are still a supporting actress. But Yumiko Miura... I'm sorry, she is a supporting character and nothing in my eyes. If you want to save her, you should know very well what to do, right?"

Yes, Yuuki was unmoved by Miura Yumiko's miserable state; in fact, he was even somewhat pleased. He hadn't expected it to be such a coincidence. He had originally planned to orchestrate several dangerous situations to force Yuigahama Yui to awaken, but he never imagined the opportunity would come so suddenly...

"Ah..."

Miura Yumiko's screams had become hoarse, and blood streamed down her face, splattering haphazardly on the ground.

Her movements slowed down, but she kept her eyes tightly covered no matter what.

That was her survival instinct.

"How could this be..." Yui Yuigahama took two steps back. Her friend's miserable state and Yuuki Ri's indifference left her mind in a complete mess.

Do we really need to use it?

Unbeknownst to her, Yui Yuigahama pulled out a gleaming silver pistol from her bosom.

The gun had a cold, metallic sheen, and its surface was finely polished, reflecting light with a mirror-like sharpness. Yui Yuigahama saw her own reflection in the gun.

His eyes were red and tearful, his face was full of panic and fear, and his whole body was trembling with fear.

Will I get shot in the head?

of course not.

Yui Yuigahama wasn't stupid; she knew that Yuuki Risa wouldn't lie to her, nor would she have any reason to.

Why didn't she shoot herself?

Because she didn't dare.

She's not stupid, she's really not stupid.

While power is alluring, family, friends, and a normal life are more in line with her personality, which is why she rejected Yuuki Risa; she was afraid.

I'm afraid that if I awaken to this reality, I'll never be able to go back to a normal life.

But now Miura Yumiko no longer had the strength to struggle or scream. She just lay quietly on the ground, her hands still covering her eyes, but you could see her hands twitching slightly upwards. She was about to give up...

A determined glint flashed in Yui Yuigahama's eyes.

"Wait for Yumiko, I'm coming to save you."

She gripped the gun with both hands, raised it, and aimed it at her chin.

Bah!

Babybabybaby……

Yuki pulled out a speaker from somewhere, played some strange songs, and sat comfortably on a small balcony protruding from the alley, eating potato chips.

"As expected, it's still a bit lacking. Next time, let her shout 'Persona' before firing, hahaha..."

He couldn't help but laugh when he thought about it, but after laughing, he fell silent again.

"Tsk, what am I doing? How stupid..."

After pulling the trigger, Yui Yuigahama heard a loud bang, and a surge of heat rushed down her jaw and into her whole body. Then, as if a switch had been flipped, an even larger surge of heat erupted from her heart and almost instantly swept over her entire body.

"Ho ho ho..."

A low, hoarse sound came from her throat, and puffs of white mist rose from her mouth and nose, until finally her entire body was enveloped in white mist.

baah~

The sound of clothes being torn rang out, and four pairs of long, sharp spider legs emerged from Yui Yuigahama's back. The bun in her hair was ripped open, and her pink hair flew in the air without any wind. A faint red glow began to appear on her forehead, but it quickly subsided.

"Is this what awakening is...?"

Yui Yuigahama clenched her fist. She could feel the explosive power within her body. She had never imagined that her body could unleash such power.

If it's this kind of power... it can work!

Yui Yuigahama looked at Yumiko Miura with unwavering eyes, locking onto the enemy almost instantly.

Before awakening, she only saw Miura Yumiko struggling and had no idea how to save her. But after awakening, she could clearly see two emerald green threads emerging from Miura Yumiko's covered eyes and extending to a green round stone next to the trash can.

"Is this it? Ha!"

Yui Yuigahama rushed to the green pebble and threw a punch.

boom!

She smashed a small crater in the ground, and the green pebble shattered on the spot.

The two threads also dissipated into the air as the round stone shattered, and at that moment, Miura Yumiko's hands lost all strength and slid down her face.

"Yumiko!"

Yui Yuigahama was startled and quickly stepped forward to hug Yumiko Miura. It was the first time she had ever seen the Queen of Soubu High School in such a disheveled state. No, to be precise, it was the first time she had ever seen such a tragic scene.

Her once fair and beautiful face was now covered in blood, and blood was still gushing from her tightly closed eyes. Her whole body was twitching slightly from the pain.

"She's alright." Yuki clapped his hands, put away the speaker, and jumped off the balcony.

"But..." Yui Yuigahama was sweating profusely, and the eight spider spears behind her were flailing wildly.

Yuki dismissed a spider spear that had accidentally been thrust in front of him with disdain: "I told you it's nothing, at most you just can't see anymore."

"ah?!!"

Yui Yuigahama was stunned. She looked at Yumiko Miura, whose eyes were tightly closed, and collapsed completely. She couldn't see... She couldn't even imagine the despair that the strong-willed Yumiko Miura would feel if she woke up and found herself blind...

"Tsk, troublesome." Yuuki sighed. "Never mind, consider it my introductory gift to you."

He reached into his pocket and pulled out a card that was entirely gold in color.

The card depicts a bottle of green magic potion.

Click.

When he crushed the card, the scattered points of light transformed into the magic potion depicted on the card and appeared in his hand.

"I gave it to her."

"oh oh!"

Yui Yuigahama hurriedly took the potion and, without a second thought, fed it to Yumiko Miura, spilling quite a bit in the process, which made Yukiri feel a pang of heartache.

That card is a valuable item that can forcibly restore life regardless of injuries. He didn't have many, only fifteen, and now he only has fourteen left...

"Well……"

The potion's effects were immediate; Miura Yumiko was no longer in pain, and her breathing became steady.

Yui Yuigahama breathed a sigh of relief. As soon as she let out the breath, the eight spider spears behind her snapped into starlight and disappeared. Her whole body visibly weakened.

She looked at Yuuki Ri with a hint of helplessness: "Yuuki-kun, this is..."

“Three minutes…” Yuki nodded: “For someone who has just awakened, that’s pretty good.”

"It's alright, this is a normal phenomenon. Awakening is a process of activating the power within your body. And with each activation of power comes a process of power fusion, until finally you can mobilize the power within your body autonomously without the awakening device."

Yui Yuigahama nodded as if she understood, then grinned foolishly and said, "I see. Although I don't quite understand, these are all things that Yuuki-kun wants, right?"

Yuuki was taken aback, then sighed: "Sometimes I really get annoyed with you two-dimensional characters. Don't you feel any annoyance at being schemed against?"

"Never mind, just hold her and come with me."

Soon, the alley was deserted.

After a while, the lid of the trash can was secretly pried open a crack, and a round, emerald-green stone fell out...

Snapped!
