The all-powerful middle schooler

"By the way, Hanezagawa-san, I haven't told you why I asked Hayasaka to call you before."

"It seems like this happened. What's the matter?"

Izumi Hanegawa turned around and asked.

"Actually, I want to learn Kyudo from you..."

"I don't know anything about Kyudo. I just know how to shoot arrows."

"That's it."

"why?"

"Why? Of course it's because you are stronger than me. Much stronger, so much so that I have to admit it."

The fact that there was no tsundere was beyond his expectation.

"Hasegawa-san, do you know?"

Suddenly, Shinomiya Kaguya looked up at the fireworks blooming in the sky again, with a hint of loneliness in her eyes.

"In fact, I have never felt happy learning Kyudo."

44 The Evil King’s True Eye…Awakens!

Izumi Hanegawa only took a glance at the girl's profile and knew what condition she was in.

There are some things that are only appropriate to say to your opponent.

"If you don't like it, then why do you want me to teach you?"

He asked in a casual cooperation, his hands resting on the back of his head.

"Because, there are some things that you can't just not do just because you like them. If I was born in an ordinary family, it would be fine, but who made me born in the Shinomiya family? Since I was a child, everyone has looked at me with different eyes, as if I have to be excellent because of this bloodline... Fortunately, I am excellent enough, especially in the art of archery, which is almost unrivaled. This avoids some outsiders' doubts about my "background."

Shinomiya Kaguya gritted her teeth, quite disgusted.

Izumi Hanegawa never took the initiative to learn about the girl's background.

But after seeing what happened today, he understood that the girl's identity as a rich lady was indeed not as good as people imagined. If it were a mediocre person, the pressure would be enough to crush her.

Having said that, he finally understood.

For Shinomiya, there is no essential difference between archery for her and playing the piano for Chika. It is precisely because of this that Shinomiya can understand Chika's feelings and say those words to her.

But, Qianhua can stop, but what about herself?

"It seems like you've been working really hard."

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying this to gain your sympathy!"

Shinomiya Kaguya turned her face to the side and puffed her cheeks.

"So the reason you want to learn archery is to prove your excellence and consolidate your position?"

"You could say that."

Although the girl said this, it was not certain what she was thinking in her heart.

"Although what you said is very touching, but..."

What Hanegawa Izumi originally wanted to say was that if you have time, you can give me some advice.

After all, if he really wanted to be a teacher and give guidance classes, he would have the time but not the need.

Kaguya Shinomiya sensed his refusal and interrupted him with a stern expression, "Of course it's not free to ask for your guidance. How about 10 yen per lesson?"

Hanezegawa Izumi's eyelids twitched.

That’s all for one class?

The rich woman deserves to be a rich woman.

"I'm sorry, actually, with your archery skills, the price is much higher than this, but I can't help it. Although I am the eldest daughter of the Shinomiya family, I can't squander money at will."

Kaguya Shinomiya also apologized for this.

That’s right, the archery skills that amazed her were so amazing that no one she knew could match him. In fact, they were far behind. The recorded archery skills of shooting the halberd at the gate and hitting the target through the willow tree from a hundred paces away were just child’s play in comparison.

"Uh, well..."

Hanezegawa Izumi groaned and thought about it for a moment.

Although he himself is not very poor, he is indeed short of money. First of all, as the director of the Far East Magic Society, he always has to consider the funding for the organization's activities. It is impossible to ask the members of the organization to contribute, right?

That would be too embarrassing.

Secondly, he had spent a lot of money on the doujinshi he bought at the comic convention a few days ago and the new games he released. If this continued, there would be no end in sight for the payment he owed to Eriri.

"Well, I can agree to that."

Seeing that he was silent, Kaguya Shinomiya thought that he would still reject her mercilessly. When she heard these words when she was feeling depressed, it was as if she heard the sound of nature.

Very good!

She suppressed her inner thoughts and almost couldn't help jumping for joy like a lively and active girl.

"But how long is a class?"

Hanezegawa Izumi raised his eyes.

"At least, how about an hour, no... half an hour?"

Shinomiya Kaguya's requests kept decreasing.

"Half an hour is a bit too much, let's do 45 minutes."

He stroked his chin and nodded in agreement.

In this case, it's nothing more than playing one hour less of games on the weekend, which is a completely affordable loss.

"Okay, it's settled then."

Shinomiya Kaguya tried hard to maintain her calm on the surface, but she was ecstatic in her heart.

It worked!

Hayasaka, I didn't let you down!

"My half, do you mean to say that you will spend less time in the Blood Lair on weekends?"

Beside her, Xiaojiu pouted her lips, looking dissatisfied.

"Xiaojiu, think about it, if we had more money, wouldn't we have all the offerings I gave you and the cosplay costumes you wanted?"

Izumi Hanegawa stroked his sister's golden hair and smiled affectionately.

"Is it true?"

Xiaojiu instantly perked up.

"of course."

"Well, it wouldn't be a big deal if my other half went on a mission occasionally. I agree!"

There was no way, she gave too much.

After the fireworks were over, Kaguya Shinomiya did not go straight home, but followed the brother and sister to hang out at the stall. In order to avoid being recognized, she also bought a mask to cover her naturally beautiful face.

As it turned out, she was right.

During this time, Izumi Hanegawa was recognized and greeted by several students of Shuchiin.

Fortunately, those people's attention was attracted by Xiaojiu, otherwise her identity would be easily exposed even if she was wearing a mask.

Although the experience was not perfect, following the brother and sister also broadened the horizons of this young lady. Snacks such as octopus balls, taiyaki, and apple candy, as well as games such as hitting balloons and catching goldfish, were all very impressive.

However, no matter how reluctant you are to leave, you cannot stay there forever.

Taking the train, the three of them arrived at a stop near Kaguya's residence.

Just as he came out, Izumi Hanezegawa hugged Kaguya Shinomiya, jumped up and entered the backyard.

Then, he jumped in through the open window.

"Then I'll leave first."

Izumi Hanegawa turned around and left without any reluctance.

"Ok."

Shinomiya Kaguya's voice was as light as a mosquito. After he left, she looked up at the crescent moon in the sky.

"If it weren't for you, Hanesegawa, I wouldn't have known that rising fireworks could be so beautiful, and I didn't know there were other fun things besides fireworks... It's great to be able to go out this time. I will probably never forget this day."

In the corner next to her, the maid also smiled.

Time is like running water, flowing quietly and passing by in a flash.

With the end of the fireworks display celebration, summer vacation has come to an end.

In a closed secret room, the lighting was dim. There was a projection screen against the wall, on which some images were being projected. The content was exactly the scene of the previous battle between Izumi Hanegawa and Saeko Busujima.

Four different girls looked at the picture with the same thoughtful expression.

They are trying to bring themselves into the simulated battle.

However, what makes them frown is that no matter how they put themselves in the protagonist's shoes, they cannot avoid the ending of failure.

In addition to maintaining their superficial status, the girls now have a clearer self-awareness.

"Rather than this, you should be worried about Yotsuya, right? With her amazing progress, I'm afraid she will catch up with us in no time."

Dan Shengtani Morika sighed very much.

"How can a mere Yin-Yang Eye compare to the power of death that the sage has carefully bestowed upon us!"

In this regard, Toumori Sanae showed great confidence.

Although according to Hanezegawa's explanation, Yin-Yang Eyes are not rare, but to be able to reach Yotsuya's level is also a very powerful ability.

However, even if they do not trust their own abilities, they have great faith in the minister's abilities.

"Speaking of awakening abilities, have any of you sensed the arrival of an opportunity?"

Natsukawa Masuzu rolled his eyes and brought up this topic.

For them, awakening is a factor that determines their fate.

As long as they can awaken, they believe that their combat power index will definitely increase a lot, which is a world of difference compared to the current situation where they can only use physical skills.

"I seem to have that feeling."

Just when everyone was silent, Rikka Takanashi pursed her lips and spoke.

"Really? Rikka."

Nibutani Morika looked shocked.

"Master, am I going to lose to you again, Death!"

Toumori Sanae clenched her fists and roared to the sky.

"Are you sure? It's like a bird swimming."

Natsukawa Masuyoshi was skeptical at first.

"I'm not sure either. It might be my illusion. But regarding the accumulation of spiritual power, the day before yesterday, I felt that I couldn't make any more progress. This might be what the sage meant by the accumulation of spiritual power to the current state of perfection."

Rikka Takanashi said uncertainly.

That's it.

The other three girls had different expressions and were in a very complicated mood.

"Should we tell the wise master, Master?"

Toumori Sanae asked.

"Uh, no need. We can meet at school tomorrow anyway. I'll just talk to you in person then."

Rikka Takanashi thought for a while and said.

In early September, the second semester of Japanese high school began.
