Inside the massive floating island, accompanied by dazzling white light, Asagami Fujino and the others appeared back where they had vanished.
"You're finally back." It was Literary Star who spoke, still holding her folding fan, smiling at the returning group.
"How are things now?" Asagami Fujino asked with a smile.
"It's a mess." Literary Star also smiled, seemingly unconcerned.
"What happened?" Qi Xiaosai and Poju were not as calm as Asagami Fujino.
"This world is in chaos now. Lucifer's Paradise Lost has appeared before the public, and so has His Highness Muir V. The Seventh Sense, originally hidden, has also been completely exposed to the world. Now the entire world is in disarray, and war has begun."
Upon hearing this, Poju and Qi Xiaosai's expressions became very grave.
Asagami Fujino then spoke: "Don't worry, everything is under control."
Everything happening now was part of the plan. Although Asagami Fujino found this plan rather boring, since it had reached this point, they had to continue. After all, it had been going on for so long.
"Then aren't we, VV Academy, going to do something?" Poju asked.
"Of course we'll get involved, but it's not time yet." Asagami Fujino looked at Literary Star and asked, "How are Ryusei and the others doing?"
"Ryusei has already activated his Seventh Sense, but his Seventh Sense is a bit different." At this, Literary Star frowned. After Ryusei activated his Seventh Sense, Military Star began training him, and Literary Star often went to observe. Initially, everyone thought Ryusei's Seventh Sense was the Cloud Control Technique, but they quickly began to suspect that Ryusei's Seventh Sense was definitely not just Cloud Control Technique, or rather, not merely the ability to control clouds.
"It's normal. Do you still remember the Blood of the Covenant that Ryusei drank?"
"Principal, are you saying that thing caused Ryusei's Seventh Sense to become different?" Qi Xiaosai reacted quite quickly.
Asagami Fujino nodded. "That's right. Ryusei's Seventh Sense was indeed the Cloud Control Technique, but hells blood contains the power of demons. After Ryusei absorbed the hells blood, his Seventh Sense also underwent a mutation, changing from the Cloud Control Technique into Ether, one of the eight elements, which can also be understood as Darkness."
"To think it would be one of the eight elements!" Qi Xiaosai and Pojun couldn't help but exclaim.
Literary Star was also very surprised. She was quite familiar with the eight elements; her own Seventh Sense was one of them—Water. Furthermore, the secret of the Seventh Sense was originally discovered by her, her sister, Amy, Dr. Pojun, and others. However, Ether, being one of the eight elements, was far too mysterious, which was why Literary Star hadn't recognized it before.
"Where is that kid now?" Cang Yue, standing behind Asagami Fujino, also became interested. She was somewhat eager to have a fight with Ryusei, as Ether, one of the eight elements, surely wouldn't be weak.
"Then you'll probably have to wait. Ryusei and his group should be down there saving people right now," Literary Star said. After the world fell into chaos, VV Academy hadn't just sat idly by. However, because Asagami Fujino and the others weren't around, it wasn't easy to intervene in those matters. But helping innocent people was still possible, so such tasks were thrown to Ryusei and the others. It was a good way to temper them—killing two birds with one stone. Moreover, with Military Star, Nyarko, and the others watching over them, there was no fear of anything going wrong.
"Is April with Ryusei and the others as well?" Asagami Fujino asked.
Literary Star shook her head. "April is on the island right now; she just returned recently. April has already activated her Seventh Sense and usually acts alone."
"I see." Asagami Fujino nodded. With April's Seventh Sense combined with magic, there was basically no danger; she was enough on her own. "Literary Star, please notify them to come back quickly. We should properly discuss our next steps."
"No problem." Literary Star nodded and turned to notify Ryusei and the others.
Asagami Fujino looked at September and said, "September, come with me in a bit. It's time to help you awaken your Seventh Sense."
"Really?!" September said excitedly. Although magic existed now, she was still very much looking forward to her own Seventh Sense.
"Of course. October, you come too. I have something to give you," Asagami Fujino said to October.
"Okay." October nodded.
