Should teachers protect their students?
Normally, Sae Chabashira would give a positive answer.
But right now?
No.
In fact, she wanted to strangle two of them herself.
A Divine Weapon…
Chabashira's eyes were filled with shock and disbelief. She narrowed her eyes, and the smell of her "Lady's" brand cigarette ignited again after a few days of abstinence.
I have been holding back for a long time…
"You can't take Him away, Ayanokouji. You should know that."
She took a drag, letting the smoke curl around her.
"This kind of thing is not something that people like you and I can get involved in."
Take any heavyweight industry in reality as an example. Almost none of them are not controlled by the government, the Zaibatsu, or the elite families.
Want to get a hand in the pot?
Sure.
But it depends on whether your backing is strong enough.
This kind of rare object could be called a Divine Weapon in the secular world. Ordinary people could indeed turn their lives around with its help. But how could they ignore the massive weight of those in power?
"Get out of the way, Ayanokouji. Sensei knows your predicament. And Sensei's backing is strong enough to help you break free from that place."
Miscalculated, she thought bitterly.
Chabashira felt she had miscalculated to some extent. Who would have thought that the strange anomaly she had been monitoring these past few days would turn out to be such a mysterious, world-altering object?
She wasn't entirely sure if these two students were fooling around. But Ayanokouji was not a person with such a personality. If he said it was a Divine Weapon, then it must be a Divine Weapon.
She could only assume so.
Perhaps this artifact can make people stronger?
Perhaps it can give humans a certain positive response?
She didn't know. But she understood one thing: The Divine Weapon could only belong to the Suzuki Zaibatsu behind her.
Kiyotaka Ayanokouji stopped, his eyes becoming increasingly indifferent.
The Zaibatsu.
It was indeed a behemoth that was more difficult to deal with than even his father.
"I said…"
From the direction of the playground, a young man with an embarrassed look on his face walked slowly toward them.
Shinichi Kudo.
He raised his glowing mobile phone and informed the group of a message that was not too friendly.
"I've called someone. If you don't want to cause trouble, please leave the scene. Also, please stay away from the Artifact."
"No! Don't even think about it!"
Someone was really going crazy.
Haruki Yamauchi was so angry that his face almost turned green. He never thought that his top-secret plan would be repeatedly attacked by these villains.
Everyone's face changed.
This damn lunatic!
Shinichi instantly thought of the reminder from Grandma Mitsue.
The Supernatural is poisonous.
The reason why he entered the scene early was that he didn't want to face some mutated ghost caused by this fool's greed.
"Stop!!"
"Stop him!!"
"He is mine! It is mine!!"
Metropolitan Police Department
"Action! Action! Quick!"
"No police uniforms! Everyone in civilian clothes!!"
Spittle flew from his mouth, his face flushed red.
When Inspector Megure first heard about the appearance of the "Extraordinary Seed," he was completely stunned.
Didn't Grandma Mitsue say that extraordinary seeds were extremely rare?
Then he jumped up as if his pants were on fire.
The entire senior staff of the Metropolitan Police Department was in a frenzy. The wireless intercoms were roaring with orders.
"Get it! I'll give you all the authority to act! Just promise me one thing!"
"Secure the Seed!!"
Faster!
Faster!!
Haruno Yukinoshita was driving so fast the engine was almost smoking.
Fortunately, under the cover of night, the traffic was light. Haruno ran through more than ten red lights in a row.
Will I lose points on my driver's license?
To hell with the damn license points!
The Extraordinary Seed!
This object must not leave the hands of the "Four Great Families"!
Inside the car, Haruno was driving Eru Chitanda and Miwako Sato.
Yes. Even Miwako Sato, the righteous police officer, was there.
Faced with Haruno's illegal driving, the righteous officer issued a righteous cry:
"Not fast enough!!!"
Tension and excitement filled the air. The Four Noble Families were obsessed. With red eyes, they desperately issued orders to their subordinates.
If the Extraordinary Seed had not appeared, they would have accepted their fate and lived in peace.
But now?
The Seed was there! It was right there!
The head of the Chitanda Family made a decision immediately.
"Mobilize all our forces in Tokyo! For those far away, clear the roads! For those close, search Sobu High School!"
In short: Before the other forces react, get the Extraordinary Seed at all costs!
However, while the Four Great Families—no, the Three Great Families—took frantic action, the forces belonging to the Religious Sector remained strangely calm.
Because of a single word from Grandma Mitsue.
"Being extraordinary is not necessarily a good thing. Maybe in the end, it will just be a flash in the pan."
She had looked at them with wise eyes.
"Moreover, our Religion does not necessarily require us to seek external things. Look for more of your own classics. Read more of your own scriptures."
An old car, though driving at high speed, was far behind Haruno's vehicle.
The Great Priest and the Archbishop sat in the front, while Grandma Mitsue and Kyoaki Hashimoto chatted in the back.
Hearing Mitsue's reminder, even the old-fashioned Hashimoto felt his face flush with pride.
Excited. Not for the seed. But because of Grandma Mitsue's words: "We belong to the Religion."
Good! We are good!
"We belong to the Religion"—this sentence was truly validating.
Hashimoto was still sweating profusely, but Mitsue's words were like a reassurance pill that stabilized the hearts of the religious leaders.
Read more of your own classics and scriptures…
Hashimoto's eyes brightened. He was so surprised by Mitsue's guidance that he almost forgot about the chaos outside. He quickly showed a kind, friendly smile.
But…
You have to read your own scriptures, but you also have to take the Extraordinary Seed over there!
How could mysterious scriptures be more reassuring than a tangible Extraordinary Seed?
Maybe Hashimoto wouldn't say much at this moment, but later? The distribution of power among the families would still need to be discussed.
Hurry! Hurry!!
The treasure that would ensure the future stability of the Yukinoshita family was just ahead!
Mother Yukinoshita hadn't said much after hearing the news, just one sentence:
"Be quick. Be ahead of everyone else."
If they could get ahead of everyone else, then the Yukinoshita family would have a "Name."
With a Name, the Yukinoshita family could intervene.
Don't be fooled by the other three noble families allowing the Yukinoshita clan to enter their circle in a friendly manner. In fact, it was just a short-term balance under the undercurrent of politics.
Her mother's words were heavy. So heavy that Haruno felt an urgent sense of oppression for the first time.
It could be said that after acquiring the Extraordinary Seed, the Yukinoshita family would be completely stable in the future.
Not to mention how powerful they could become—at the very least, they could be formally introduced to Grandma Mitsue's sect, right?
With this relationship, didn't it mean that the two sides would be in a teacher-student relationship?
And with a teacher-student relationship, weren't they completely bound together?
Bound to the power of a True God?
No one could resist such temptation.
Faster! Faster!!
Looking from above, several factions seemed to be surging toward Sobu High School from all directions like a tide.
But soon.
Some kind of fluctuation, like a buzzing vibration, spread through the air.
It forced everyone rushing toward Sobu High to look up at the sky.
Without anyone noticing…
The sky had changed.
