578 Youve acquired a strange trait overnight! (1/2)

The experiment failed.

That was the conclusion the gray-clothed man came to after noticing that the experimental subject's numbers had far exceeded the safety zone.

'Ah, how regrettable that this bro wasn't able to survive.'

Continuing might cause damage to his spell formation, so he decided to stop the spell and then clean up after the corpse.

Yet… he failed to stop his own spell!

Astonished, he immediately activated his backup protective spell. Yet, the spell continued to work on its own and even summoned greater power!

This was impossible… it should have been impossible.

After being shocked, the gray-clothed man then had an expression of frenzied delight.

Being able to see such an unexpected mystical phenomenon was too amazing!!

What exactly happened? Just what did this bro transform into!? He really wanted to know. But, it was currently impossible to observe in detail apart from normally watching.

Suddenly, his vision went dark and then he felt himself turning upside-down. His body spun at a high speed as if he had been sucked into a whirlpool. Unclear chaotic sounds rang in his ears in a wild manner.

He then suddenly fell onto the ground.

”This is…”

The gray-clothed man looked around him and saw dense mist appearing which speedily formed into a frighteningly gigantic figure!

He realized what was about to happen to him the instant that he locked eyes with the figure's blood-red eyes. It would be obviously impossible for the gray-clothed man to escape.

”Ahaha… hahahahahaha!!”

He had no fear at all. Instead, he began laughing loudly and maniacally, to the point where his face distorted.

'Truly amusing, this is the best, this is so interesting…'

It was rather regrettable that he couldn't study this any further. But, having such a result was excellent enough already.

The gigantic figure rapidly approached him.

The maniacally laughing gray-clothed man reached out to the figure. Apart from insanity and delight in his eyes, there was even the expression of fervent worship… almost as if he was a devout believer who witnessed a divine miracle.

*Boom!!!*

With a loud explosion, blood was sent flying everywhere.

Seiji and Natsuya took a car to the location that Seiji's locator spell indicated.

Shika was riding with them as well. All three were wearing their spiritual combat outfits and weapons, fully prepared for battle.

He hoped that they would be enough to rescue Kazufuru Ooike… if not, he would have to summon additional backup.

To Seiji's surprise, the locator spell indicated that Kazufuru was at the riverside!

They continued following the locator spell's mark, and… they met a brown-haired beautiful girl wearing Genhana High School's girls' uniform!

”Ooike-san?” Seiji widened his eyes in surprise.

The brown-haired girl who had been observing the scenery turned around and looked at Seiji and company.

She had a white and clear face and blood-red eyes. She was wearing silver-rimmed glasses which gave her a scholarly appearance and the very aura of an excellent student. Her face and aura both greatly resembled Kazufuru Ooike!

The only differences were in the eye color and the body shape… it was quite obvious that this person was female judging from her figure. She was also wearing black silk stockings which greatly accentuated her beauty.

Natsuya widened her eyes in surprise as well upon seeing this female version of the student council secretary. Shika was the only one whose expression didn't change.

”Good morning, Harano-san and President Yoruhana,” the brown-haired, red-eyed girl greeted them in a clear voice.

”Good morning… Are you Ooike-san… Kazufuru Ooike?” Seiji reflexively asked the first thing on his mind.
