Just as she was about to make close contact with the ground, a strong arm suddenly appeared from under her body and rested on her waist.

For a moment, her body remained parallel to the ground on a horizontal plane.

The scene was so thrilling that she could even hear her own heartbeat.

Izumi Hanegawa exerted more force with his right hand and placed his left hand on the girl's back to straighten her body.

"How could a dignified True Eye Master of the Evil King be reduced to being unable to even maintain his balance? If he had fallen to his death just now, wouldn't he have become the biggest joke in the world?"

He couldn't help but tease.

"I lost my temper. This is a shame. I will remember this day."

Looking at him intently, Rikka Takanashi suddenly realized something, her face turned as pale as a steamed shrimp, and she lowered her head.

"Well, everyone has down times. I hope you can regain your strength sooner rather than later."

He patted the other person's shoulder and comforted him.

"Ah."

She murmured softly in response.

After establishing the stronghold and stabilizing the rear, it is time to recruit soldiers.

However, they have not made any preparations for this yet, and the first week is almost over, so they plan to start next week.

Just when they were about to go to the club's recruitment office to observe how recruitment was done, they unexpectedly discovered that no one was there today.

The crowd headed towards the Great Hall.

Out of curiosity, he and Rika followed the crowd.

It turned out that a 'club activities briefing' was being held today, with most clubs having people there explaining their club's activities, and the seats below were filled with students who were watching.

"Izumi-chan, come over here."

In a corner, Chika Fujiwara, who was chatting with her friends, noticed their arrival and greeted them as quietly as possible.

"Let's go over there."

He turned to Rikka and said.

The two came to Qianhua's side.

"Izumi-chan, and Kotori-san, are you guys going to join us too?"

Fujiwara Chika knew that they were setting up a club, so she asked this question.

"We didn't know about this, we just happened to come here... Chika, are you here to join a club?"

He shook his head and asked back.

“I plan to join the board game club. I want to make games with everyone and share them with everyone!”

Fujiwara Chika opened her arms with a smile, those were the wings of freedom.

"What a shame, it would be nice if Quan-chan could join me."

Her eyes were filled with anticipation.

"I'm not interested at all."

He rejected it immediately without leaving any room for negotiation.

This woman can be very difficult to deal with when she gets passionate, so it must be nipped in the bud.

"Oh, what a pity~"

Her head drooped.

After a while, the activity briefing ended.

When leaving, Hanegawa Izumi suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar person out of the corner of his eye.

An existence that made him feel sorry for, an ancient magician who had written the "Dark Codex".

——mori summer.

9Mori Summer

My name is Nibutani Morika, an ordinary high school student.

Because some things happened in the past that I never wanted to recall, I studied very hard and got into the very famous Shuchiin Gakuen, a high school that our junior high school would have basically no chance of getting into.

Now, bidding farewell to the past and welcoming a new life, I want to integrate into this high school.

……

However, the difficulty of this matter was somewhat beyond her expectations. As a student from another college, she felt a little out of place and found it difficult to strike up a conversation with those people from prominent families.

However, she still did not give up.

If you join a club, you might be able to find friends you can talk to.

As long as she is not bound by the past, she will have an unlimited future!

After all, a beautiful girl like her who is tall and cheerful can get along well anywhere!

It's just a small setback now.

"Which club should I join? Cheerleading? Sports clubs are the most popular in Shuchi Academy. Well, I think other clubs are good too. Any club that's not at the bottom of the pile will do, right? Why not apply to join the student union? It seems like a good idea too."

After watching the club activities briefing, Nibutani Morika also stood up and walked outside, thinking about her way out.

Just as she was gradually moving away from the crowd, a voice suddenly sounded from behind.

"It's been a long time since we last met, Mori Summer. I didn't expect to see you here. It's such a great pleasure to see you again after such a long absence."

Mori Summer?

Upon hearing this name, Nibutani Morika trembled all over as if she had been electrocuted.

Why? Why!

I deliberately chose a high school that has no junior high school classmates, buried all the dark past, and am about to take a new step!

Why would anyone know that name!

"I don't know anyone by that name."

She responded, continued walking forward without looking back, and quickened her pace.

However, escape is not only shameful, but also useless.

"I won't make a mistake. Your special soul stands out in my eyes. What happened that made you unwilling to face me, your fellow traveler? Although I left without saying goodbye, as an ancient magician, you shouldn't be so fussy about such things."

Suddenly, the voice came closer in an instant.

"It's you! Seeker!"

At this close distance, she also recognized the owner of the familiar voice, and immediately stopped and turned around.

"Yes, it's me."

Izumi Hanegawa looked at the other person with a complicated expression, and only then did he observe her changes from the front.

She used a pink hairpin to clip her bangs, let her waist-length hair down and tied it into a short side ponytail, making her look more fashionable and mature.

Is this an effort to better fit in with the world?

"How dare you show up in front of me, you culprit!!!"

He thought that this reunion after two years would be a touching scene, but to his surprise, Nibutani Morika rushed over as if she saw an enemy and grabbed his collar.

“If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have become like that! Being laughed at harshly by those people! Whenever I think of the scene at that time, I wish I could slap myself in the face! Give me back my good times! Ahhhhh…!”

She was venting her emotions to her heart's content.

"Is this what you want to say to me? You are such a coward, Mori Summer. Do ordinary people's opinions matter so much? You are an ancient magician who is over 500 years old. I finally woke you up, and I don't want to see you degenerate like this."

Izumi Hanegawa frowned.

"Don't mention this name again! I wish you hadn't woken me up in the first place!"

Nibutani Morika said viciously.

"Listen to me! I thought I would never go back to the past, I want to say goodbye to the past! You can't tell anyone else about this, otherwise I will curse you to death!"

After saying that, she slowly loosened her hands, turned around and left without the slightest bit of reluctance.

Izumi Hanegawa didn't say a word to try to keep her because he had other ideas.

"Mori Summer, if this is your choice, I will respect it... But I believe that you will come back soon, under the guidance of fate."

It is difficult for people who have experienced that state to adapt to the life of ordinary people. Often, it only takes an opportunity to return to the place where they are adapted.

Moreover, the trend of the times cannot be changed after all, and no one can be immune to it, especially Mori Summer as a magician.

Rikka Takanashi and Chika Fujiwara, who were watching the scene nearby, both ran over.

"Did Quan-chan have a fight with her friend? She seemed very angry."

Friends? I guess so.

But calling him a fellow Taoist feels clearer.

Hanezegawa Izumi had a thought in his mind and replied, "This is not a quarrel, it's just a difference of opinion. It's normal to make mistakes occasionally in life."

“Is it that profound?”

Fujiwara Chika groaned, then said with a bright smile, "Anyway, I just hope you can reconcile soon!"

After blessing them, she said goodbye to them both.

Rikka Takanashi asked him specifically about his relationship with Morika Nibutani.

"Because my father is an archaeologist, our family moves frequently..."

Izumi Hanegawa spoke slowly like this.

He stayed in Tokyo for about eleven years, and spent the rest of the years wandering around. In his second year of junior high school, he came to Nibutani's junior high school as a mysterious transfer student, and accidentally discovered her specialness. After several twists and turns, he successfully awakened her...

However, during the winter vacation that year, my father completed his work and moved back to Tokyo. There was no other way to notify him at the time, so he left without saying goodbye.

This is nothing. As an ancient magician, it is normal for him to travel alone. He does not need his repeated care.

"There must be some misunderstanding here. Maybe she was influenced by the Invisible Boundary Management Bureau!"

After listening, Rikka Takanashi pondered for a moment and expressed her own opinion.

"I don't sense any strange aura from her... So, leave her alone for now. She needs to calm down. Let's build the base first, and she will naturally be attracted back."

He made his judgment with confidence.

"Ah."

Rikka Takanashi also agreed with this, and the current focus is on another matter.

……

In the building.

Nibutani Morika sat against the wall, holding her head in her hands, and muttered to herself with tears in her eyes: "I've had enough! I actually met that person here... I should have known that there is probably only one person in the world who can say that when introducing himself! What should I do? What should I do? What should I do!"

After a long time, she stood up silently and left with a desolate back.

"You must not have anything to do with that guy again! Absolutely!"

"Otherwise, my high school life will be over!"

10 The day of awakening has not yet come

The first weekend after school starts is here.

Izumi Hanegawa stayed at home and didn't go anywhere.

"It's done, Kobato."
