Chapter 98

"Hmm..."

"Eh?"

"That, is that Yukinoshita?"

"What is she doing?"

The sudden sound in the hallway startled Yukinoshita Yukino, who had been lost in anxiety and unease.

She instinctively stood up and looked up, a flash of bewilderment crossing her eyes.

The Occult Research Club, empty?

Seeing this, she let out a sharp sigh of relief, then her legs went a bit weak, and she instinctively braced herself against the doorframe.

"Eh? Is it really Yukinon?"

Yuki...non?

Yukinoshita Yukino turned her head stiffly, then saw Yuigahama Yui walking over, arm-in-arm with a blonde gal.

"Yukinon, you..."

Yuigahama Yui’s eyes were complex.

Clearly, when she said she was joining the Occult Research Club yesterday, she had said it wasn't possible.

What was she doing standing at the door of the Occult Research Club again today?

Meeting Yuigahama Yui’s gaze, even Yukinoshita Yukino couldn't help but feel a bit uncomfortable.

"It really is Yukinoshita?"

The blonde gal clicked her tongue in wonder; it was the first time she had seen Yukinoshita Yukino looking like that—what a huge scoop!

Yukinoshita Yukino shifted her gaze.

Miura Yumiko?

She was expressionless, showing no emotion.

Even being seen in such a slightly disheveled moment, she didn't care at all.

However, Yuigahama Yui’s gaze made her feel entirely uneasy.

"I have things to do, I'm leaving first."

Yukinoshita Yukino chose to escape, turning and leaving in one fluid motion.

"Wait, Yukinon!"

Yuigahama Yui instinctively went to chase after her.

"Eh?"

Seeing this, Miura Yumiko was surprised, then hurriedly said, "Yui, didn't you say you still wanted to join—woo-woo-woo—"

Before Miura Yumiko could finish, Yuigahama Yui, having run a few steps, did a sudden U-turn and covered her mouth.

Yukinoshita Yukino paused, looked back, and stared at Yuigahama Yui gloomily.

Feeling the gaze, Yuigahama Yui’s body stiffened, then she turned her head and met Yukinoshita Yukino’s eyes.

Didn't we agree it wasn't possible?

The two were silent for a moment, then Yuigahama Yui said, "Yukinon, can we talk?"

"Hmm..."

Yukinoshita Yukino nodded.

"Wait!"

Seeing Yuigahama Yui and Yukinoshita Yukino preparing to leave, Miura Yumiko suddenly looked displeased and said, "Yui, are you just going to abandon me like this?"

"Uh..."

Yuigahama Yui’s body stiffened, and she stammered, "Yumiko, what happens next isn't easy to explain, so..."

How about you don't follow?

She didn't say this sentence out loud.

"Hmph!"

Miura Yumiko crossed her arms, looking annoyed, clearly intending to follow to the end. "I want to see what kind of unspeakable things you're up to!"

Seeing this, Yuigahama Yui sighed deeply.

Yukinoshita Yukino glanced at her, warning slightly, "We won't be responsible for what happens later."

"Tch, who needs you to be responsible!"

However...

The more they said that, the more curious she became!

What on earth could it be?

…………

Teacher's Guidance Office.

Nangong Natsuki sat in her chair, holding a folding fan, squinting as she kept sizing up Yurikawa Hana, her eyes full of suspicion.

"This is the familiar you mentioned who can use Qi flames?"

Isn't this just an ordinary student?

Where does she look like someone capable of mastering an ability like Qi flames?

Furthermore...

As a teacher at Shuchiin, could any student's talent escape the eyes of Nangong Natsuki?

"What, you don't believe me?"

Nanjou Natsuki did not speak, but the look in her eyes made everything clear.

"Want to make a bet? If you lose, how about you become my familiar?"

Nangong Natsuki’s face immediately darkened. "You perverted lolicon, I'll send you in sooner or later!"

"Eh, does Natsuki-chan want to become the Club President's familiar too?"

Yurikawa Hana looked shocked.

*Whack!*

The folding fan instantly appeared on Yurikawa Hana’s head, slamming down hard.

"Ouch!"

"Don't call a teacher by their first name, and don't add '-chan'!"

Retracting the fan, Nangong Natsuki glared at Yurikawa Hana. "And, when did I ever agree to become his familiar?"

Yurikawa Hana rubbed her head, muttering to herself.

Because anyone targeted by the Club President will definitely become a familiar in the end.

Natsuki-chan definitely won't be able to escape either!

With Yurikawa Hana’s interruption, the matter of the bet was dropped.

However...

Nangong Natsuki hadn't intended to bet with Lin En anyway.

"Let's go, I'll take you to find that idiot."

Shuuchiin Academy, the playground.

Sasazaki Misaki looked at Nanjou Natsuki leading two devils over, her face full of helplessness.

"So, you just sold me to the devils like that?"

Nanjou Natsuki said with a calm expression: "Sold? What an ugly word. This is hiring you to be a teacher for the devils."

Sasazaki Misaki blinked and asked expectantly: "Then is there a teaching fee?"

Nanjou Natsuki remained calm, "You can go apply and try, or..."

She pointed her folding fan toward Lynn's direction and continued: "...ask them for it?"

The corner of Sasazaki Misaki's mouth twitched.

Ask a devil for it?

She glanced at the seemingly genial Lynn and couldn't help but shudder.

Just by standing there, Lynn brought her immense pressure.

A powerhouse!

Definitely a super-strong guy!

Ask a person like that for a teaching fee?

How is that any different from being dead?

Sasazaki Misaki slumped her shoulders as if deflated.

Nanjou Natsuki comforted her: "Don't look so glum."

"Once people see you later, they'll probably call you a devil teacher anyway, so be happy."

Sasazaki Misaki rolled her eyes at her, "I really thank you so much..."

"You're welcome."

Nanjou Natsuki unfolded her fan and held it in front of her mouth; she couldn't help but let her small mouth curl up slightly.

Seeing this idiot like this is truly rare!

"Ahem!"

Sasazaki Misaki cleared her throat and forced herself to perk up.

"Alright, since things have come to this, let's start with some boxing!"

She placed her hands firmly on Yurikawa Hua's shoulders and said loudly: "Are you ready, Student Yurikawa!!"

"Ah, yes!"

Yurikawa Hua was startled by Sasazaki Misaki's sudden passion and stood up straight subconsciously.

Sasazaki Misaki nodded in satisfaction and then began to feel her up.

"Oh oh, what a truly excellent body!"

"It really is a physique well-suited for practicing martial arts."

Yurikawa Hua's face turned a little red from being touched, and then she suddenly thought: "Eh? Come to think of it..."

"Natsuki..."

Yurikawa Hua received a warning look and immediately changed the subject.

"Uh... are Teacher Nanjou and Teacher Sasazaki not ordinary humans?"

Did she only notice now?

This thought arose in the minds of Lynn, Nanjou Natsuki, and Sasazaki Misaki.

After checking Yurikawa Hua's physique, Sasazaki Misaki nodded and said: "Not bad, next let me see your Qi Flame ability."

As a physical education teacher at Shuuchiin, Sasazaki Misaki still had a strong impression of Yurikawa Hua.

Hmm...

Anyone who saw a student stuffing food into their mouth while running during PE class would surely be deeply impressed, right?

At the time, Sasazaki Misaki had remembered this female student who could eat so much.

She didn't expect that when they met again, she would already be a devil.

Sasazaki Misaki felt a bit emotional.

However...

Yurikawa Hua, who was just an ordinary student before, has now mastered the ability of Qi Flame?

Sasazaki Misaki was a bit skeptical.

But the devils wouldn't deceive them.

Nanjou Natsuki also had doubts in her heart, which was why she had followed along.

Otherwise, she could have just let Lynn and the others come to the playground to find Sasazaki Misaki themselves.

In fact, she also understood that Lynn wouldn't joke with her about this matter.

But to say that Yurikawa Hua had mastered Qi Flame was indeed hard to imagine.

If Yurikawa Hua weren't a student at Shuuchiin, she wouldn't have had such a strong reaction.

After all, she was right under her nose.

And...

Yurikawa Hua hadn't been in Lynn's peerage for long.

She thought about the time Yurikawa Hua joined the Occult Research Club.

It must have been that day.

After receiving Lynn's message yesterday, she had investigated Yurikawa Hua.

Before she became a devil, Yurikawa Hua was truly just an ordinary person.

In such a short time...

Nanjou Natsuki stared closely at Yurikawa Hua.

Seeing this, the corners of Lynn's mouth rose slightly.

"Hua, show them what you've got."

Yurikawa Hua's eyes turned serious, and she instantly utilized the life energy within her body.

Swoosh!

The next second, a golden Qi Flame surged forth, enveloping Yurikawa Hua.

The whole person looked just like a Super Saiyan!

Sasazaki Misaki's eyes widened instantly, and she exclaimed, "Such high-quality Qi Flame!"

Nanjou Natsuki also narrowed her eyes.

There was no doubt that Yurikawa Hua had indeed mastered the Qi Flame ability.

Nangong Natsuki didn't speak, but the look in her eyes made everything clear.

Qi Flame of this quality...

Her gaze shifted, and she looked at Lynn with a frown.

She muttered in a low voice: "How on earth did this guy manage to do it?"

She had a premonition that Yurikawa Hua's appearance must have something to do with Lynn.

Speaking of which...

Was he really not just messing around when he recruited his peerage from Shuuchiin?

There was a hint of surprise in her eyes.

Before, she had thought that there was no point in recruiting ordinary students into a peerage.

As it turned out, she was slapped in the face today.

Just based on the quality of Yurikawa Hua's Qi Flame, she was definitely a top-tier, gifted individual among humans!

But...

She was already a devil's...

Tsk!

If Lynn didn't recruit his peerage just to mess around, did Kasumigaoka Utaha and the others also possess some kind of talent?

She fell into deep thought.

If that were really the case...

What did that make her, for not discovering their talents?

And...

Did Shuuchiin really have so many talented people?

And they were all recruited by Lynn, this devil?

Compared to this result, Nanjou Natsuki would rather Lynn have been messing around.

On the other side.

Sasazaki Misaki stared at Yurikawa Hua with a complex expression.

She was a child very well-suited for her path...

But, she was a devil's.

However...

Sasazaki Misaki took a deep breath.

Since things were already like this, then...

Devil teacher, officially online!

Sasazaki Misaki said with a serious look: "You start by throwing a few punches."
