613 Just like you, I’m human (1/2)

The students quieted down for a moment, but then went into an uproar!

He admitted it!

Seigo Harano admitted that he was going to do an exorcism!!

He really wasn't an ordinary person!!

”Harano-san, who are you exactly then? A Spiritual Ability user? Or… a demon?” the camera-carrying boy shouted out again to him.

”Just like you, I'm human,” Seiji responded calmly. ”I'm just slightly stronger than ordinary people.”

Human… did that mean he was a Spiritual Ability user?

The commotion wouldn't calm down at all. But no matter what they said, Seiji ignored them all. He only kept telling them to leave.

Some students who weren't so brave started leaving. However, even more students came over here to see what Seigo Harano was about to do. The number of spectating students actually overall increased.

Although they all heard that this might be dangerous, they still couldn't suppress their curiosity. Besides, it was currently bright and sunny outside with so many people. They felt like nothing major could possibly occur.

Seiji silently kicked the ball continuously, aiming for the top bar of the goal. He repeatedly bounced it off the top bar of the goal.

The students all saw that he surprisingly managed to accurately rebound the ball against the goalpost's top bar every time. This was footwork that was far out of the ordinary.

The camera-carrying boy really wanted to start filming with his digital camera. However, he was extremely hesitant about ”taking full responsibility for any consequences” that Seigo mentioned to him.

What might happen to him if he really filmed this?

There were already many discussions online about Spiritual Ability users. This included many topics about their darker sides. Some of the topics were truly frightening.

After much hesitation, he finally didn't dare to take the risk.

However, there would always be courageous, or perhaps a better word would be reckless, individuals that wanted to secretly take pictures or film this.

”Seiji, nothing's wrong with the school's spell formation.” Natsuya sent Seiji a mental message with a spell. ”However, it's faintly suppressing something. It's my own fault for not noticing earlier.”

”What is it suppressing?”

”It should be suppressing a demon… But the strange part is, normal demons will be destroyed by the school's spell formation the moment they enter the schoolgrounds. As for more powerful demons that are difficult to destroy, the spell formation should notify me. However, this notification mechanism wasn't activated this time. I've confirmed that the spell formation is still working with no problems. I don't know what's going on. Perhaps this demon is rather unique…”

”Is it a very powerful demon?”

”What should we do?”

Natsuya paused for a moment before she spoke up. ”…How many students are still around you?”

”Many. I think that more than half of the students that aren't busy right now are watching me.” Seiji answered after looking around him.

”I want to execute last night's plan,” the student council president told him in a serious tone.

The students saw Seigo Harano suddenly stop kicking the ball and simply stand there quietly while perfectly still. This caused the students to feel a premonition that something was about to happen, causing them to become nervous.

A Spiritual Ability user performing an exorcism… what would such an event in real life look like?

Tension, fear, expectation, and excitement… All sorts of emotions welled up in the students.

They then noticed something suddenly change about the atmosphere.

The temperature around them seemed to suddenly lower. It was quite chilly even though it was bright and sunny outside. This made the atmosphere seem rather ominous.

”Something's coming! If you don't want to get hurt, hurry up and leave!” Seigo Harano shouted to everyone.

Something was really coming!

Some students felt afraid and hurriedly left. However, more than half of the students still remained.

They had waited for so long to see something mystical already. They had to see this!

And then, they saw it.

Seigo's football that had been on the ground suddenly started floating up in midair. A faint blood-red mist started appearing on the football!

This was an unmistakable actual mystical phenomenon which was happening right in front of everyone in broad daylight!

Many students exclaimed out loud. Quite a few of them reflexively took out their cell phones and started snapping pictures.

The football suddenly flew towards Seigo Harano with a red flash! It was as if someone viciously kicked it.

*Peng!*
