“This is spiritual energy; I am a cultivator.”
After Mr. Su Rui finished the simple healing of the girls, he withdrew the golden flame from his hand and scanned the girls, whose condition had improved significantly.
Well, at least the faint resentment clinging to them had been dispelled by Mr. Su Rui’s spiritual energy.
“Mr. Superhero, are you going to save everyone in the entire school next?”
Chika Fujiwara bounced around in front of Mr. Su Rui, wanting to say something more, but her full bosom, jiggling with every movement, was simply too conspicuous.
Even Mr. Su Rui couldn't help but glance at it a few times.
Kaguya Shinomiya, who was constantly observing his reaction, immediately became displeased. Her sharp gaze fixed on Chika Fujiwara in front of her, and she glanced at Hayasaka Ai, signaling her maid and good friend to take action.
Thus, Hayasaka Ai, who was very sensible and had a tacit understanding with Kaguya Shinomiya, reluctantly released Mr. Su Rui’s arm. Feeling a bit lost as the lingering warmth on her arm faded after letting go of Mr. Su Rui’s arm, she moved behind Chika Fujiwara.
Carrying the resentment of having to leave Mr. Su Rui, Hayasaka Ai directly used a grappling technique to restrain the 'cow girl', holding Chika Fujiwara and pulling her back a few steps amidst the girl’s cries of “Ouch, ouch~”
“Miss Fujiwara, please be quiet from now on.”
Because of Chika Fujiwara, Hayasaka Ai, who had to let go of Mr. Su Rui, spoke with a cold, sharp tone, so much so that the pink-haired girl, upon hearing her voice, subconsciously shivered and nodded repeatedly.
“Mhm, mhm, mhm, I understand!”
Even with her nodding motion, Chika Fujiwara’s chest still bounced like lively little rabbits with her movements, making a “plop-plop” sound.
Fortunately, this small interlude had passed, and Mr. Su Rui turned his gaze back to Yotsuya Miko:
“Before this barrier of resentment formed, did you see anything noteworthy?”
Being stared at by Mr. Su Rui, Yotsuya Miko instinctively felt a bit nervous, then slowly raised her chin and placed her fingertips on her lips, pondering:
“I remember, not long after I arrived at school, I saw the evil spirits in the teaching building screaming. They were all attracted by something invisible, sucked out of the classrooms like a vacuum cleaner, and then gathered in the sky directly above the campus.
I originally thought that perhaps an exorcist like Mr. Su Rui had appeared, so I didn't pay attention, until I saw the ominous black barrier gradually descending from the sky in the classroom.”
Yotsuya Miko’s shoulders trembled slightly as she spoke, as if she had recalled something terrifying:
“Above those barriers, the vengeful spirits weren’t dead at first; they were just wailing within the barrier, but eventually, they gradually lost their vitality and completely became part of the barrier.”
Yotsuya Miko then looked at Kaguya Shinomiya and Hayasaka Ai:
“Then, I remembered that Miss Shinomiya and Miss Hayasaka were both at this school. I only knew that Miss Shinomiya was the Student Council President, so I came here to find her. I didn’t expect Miss Hayasaka to also be here by chance.”
Kaguya Shinomiya, who was hugging Mr. Su Rui’s arm and leaning against him, nodded: “Then, we noticed that the students and teachers in the school began to gradually fall unconscious. We tried to arrange for rescue, but soon almost all the staff had fallen unconscious.”
“But why are only a few of us not unconscious?”
Chika Fujiwara tilted her head in confusion, and the girls all turned their gazes to Mr. Su Rui, expecting him to answer the question.
“Because of Yotsuya Miko’s phone.”
Mr. Su Rui didn't look at the girls' surprised and puzzled gazes. Instead, he walked to the office desk alone and pulled out four unused sheets of printing paper from it.
Golden spiritual energy was infused into them, forming characters that emitted a warm glow. Mr. Su Rui folded them into the shape of talismans and handed them to the four girls beside him:
“These talismans contain my spiritual energy and can protect you from harm. If there’s danger, I’ll come over immediately. For now, you should stay here. I’m going to find the source of the problem.”
With that, Mr. Su Rui nodded to the girls: “Stay here and don’t run around. You’ll be very safe.”
Then, holding a longsword burning with golden flames, Mr. Su Rui walked out of the Student Council room, and as he closed the door, he placed one hand on the Student Council door, creating a barrier with his spiritual energy.
The girls, locked inside the Student Council room, exchanged glances, but Chika Fujiwara, however, relaxed, walking with a cheerful, comical gait. She sat down on the sofa with a “thump!”, gently kicking her legs and shaking her head:
“I wonder how Mr. Su Rui will solve this crisis? I’m so curious, I really want to go see, but that would be too dangerous.”
While saying she was bored, Chika Fujiwara suddenly thought of something. She lightly bounced up from the sofa and quickly walked to Yotsuya Miko, her eyes sparkling as she looked at her:
“Speaking of which, Yotsuya Miko! You can see vengeful spirits, right? Then can you see how Mr. Su Rui is different from us?”
Chika Fujiwara’s words caught the attention of Kaguya Shinomiya and Hayasaka Ai, and both of them simultaneously looked at Yotsuya Miko.
“I am also very interested in how Mr. Su Rui uses his spiritual energy. Could you please tell us, Miss Yotsuya?”
Kaguya Shinomiya’s eyes were fixed on Yotsuya Miko, as if she wanted to dig something out of her with her gaze.
Being stared at so intently, Yotsuya Miko felt a bit nervous, but after taking a deep breath and adjusting her mood slightly, the girl still spoke in a very normal tone:
“I saw it. Golden flames enveloped Mr. Su Rui and the blade in his hand.”
The girls nodded; the flames in Mr. Su Rui’s hand earlier, the spiritual energy content was already dense enough for them to see.
“Then, Mr. Su Rui left golden spiritual energy on the main door and the walls of the room, protecting us from harm by vengeful spirits.”
Yotsuya Miko turned her head to look in the direction of the main door, where magnificent golden runes shimmered, but the other girls could only look blankly at the unchanged door, noticing nothing.
Only she could see Mr. Su Rui’s spiritual energy; this special ability made Yotsuya Miko a little secretly pleased, but noticing Kaguya Shinomiya’s keen gaze nearby, the girl could only suppress the joy in her heart and not let it show.
However, Kaguya Shinomiya was, after all, a girl who had received an elite education, and she had the ability to read expressions, immediately recognizing the little emotions in Yotsuya Miko’s eyes.
