Zongman I fight weirdness in everyday world

“You seem a bit daft lately.”

The Eight-Foot Tall Lady wore a pitiful expression, squatting on the ground, her eyes tearful as she looked at the members of the Super-Dimensional Research Society, feeling both aggrieved and indignant.

“Are you just going to gloss over my topic like that?”

Rio Futaba nodded without hesitation.

“What else?”

“Can't you pay me a little more attention! I'm experiencing… what's that word again…?”

The Eight-Foot Tall Lady pondered for a long time before finally realizing and exclaiming,

“Right, an identity crisis!”

Hinata Amano and Yui Yuigahama couldn't hear what the Eight-Foot Tall Lady was saying, but Mai Sakurajima, who had awakened her psychic abilities, deeply sympathized with her words.

Her own Adolescence Syndrome was partly caused by a lack of identification with her own identity.

Mai Sakurajima empathized with the Eight-Foot Tall Lady at this moment.

But Yozora didn't indulge the Eight-Foot Tall Lady at all.

“Why are you so troublesome? I don't have time to deal with you. Do you want your mouth taped shut again?”

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, the Eight-Foot Tall Lady's face lit up with excitement.

“If I keep talking, will you tape my mouth shut? Then I want to keep talking.”

Rio Futaba helplessly rubbed her forehead and sighed.

“Please, you guys, be normal.”

“Getting back to the main topic, Kawasaki-san and Kitagawa-san have already seen the evil spirit with their own eyes. What should we do now?”

Although Rio Futaba seemed to be asking for everyone's opinion, all the members, including herself, turned their gazes to Yozora, who was sitting by the window.

“Why are you all looking at me?”

Faced with the gazes of the girls, Yozora simply waved his hand.

“The condition for becoming an internal member isn't just witnessing an evil spirit. It's about being able to provide help and possessing value.”

“My standards have never changed.”

“Right now, I haven't seen the value in Marin Kitagawa and Saki Kawasaki.”

After Yozora said these words, the room fell silent for a brief moment.

After a while, Mai Sakurajima looked at him with disbelief.

“Are you saying Kawasaki-san and Kitagawa-san aren't pretty enough?”

“Huh? What are you talking about? We're the Super-Dimensional Quantum Mechanics Research Society, not my harem club. Appearance isn't a recruitment standard.”

“Oh, so you mean they're not your type?”

“I told you, that's not the problem.”

Listening to everyone's cheerful conversation, Yui Yuigahama wore her usual sweet smile, nodding in agreement from time to time, but her eyes revealed a hint of sadness.

Only people with value… can enter the Super-Dimensional Research Society.

Yui Yuigahama looked at the members in front of her. Except for Touma and Sawa, who couldn't make it here due to a sudden emergency today, every internal member of the Super-Dimensional Research Society possessed a unique ability.

Does she really have a place here anymore?

On the muted television to the side, a news report was being broadcasted, which everyone seemed to have missed.

【The criminal known as the 'Sunny Doll Killer' by the public has committed his fourth case.】

【The killer's targets are primarily women, and the victims are all female students in junior high and high school.】

【The Metropolitan Police Department hereby urges girls in this age group to minimize going out late at night and avoid walking in secluded and deserted areas.】

【Chief of the Criminal Investigation Department, Souichiro Yagami, solemnly promises to mobilize all the forces of the Metropolitan Police Department to bring the criminal to justice as soon as possible and restore a safe and peaceful Kyoto City to its citizens.】

Chapter 144: Saika Totsuka's Request, A Battle of Skill and a Matter of Life and Death

The next day, Monday morning.

After entering the classroom, Shizuka Hiratsuka glanced at the students in the classroom, then tapped the podium with her hand. After all the students' attention was focused on her, she slowly opened her mouth and said.

“As you all know, next Monday, we will have our final exams.”

“After the exams, it will be your long-awaited summer vacation.”

Hearing this, the students couldn't help but show excitement.

This long first semester was finally coming to an end.

What comes to mind when you think of summer vacation?

The sea!

Fireworks festival!

And two months of free time.

Before the students could get excited, Shizuka Hiratsuka crossed her arms in front of her chest and sneered twice.

“Heh heh, don't be in such a hurry to be happy.”

“This time, the final exam is a little different.”

Shizuka Hiratsuka placed her hands on the podium, scanning the students of Class A, and slowly opened her mouth, word by word.

“This time, our Soubu High School will co-create the exam questions with the Private Shuchiin Academy.”

“Then, the first-year students of both sides will participate in the exam at the same time, in the same examination hall.”

“In order to determine the winner.”

Upon hearing the name Private Shuchiin Academy, most of the students were already stunned.

When they heard Shizuka Hiratsuka's last four words, determine the winner, almost everyone was completely dumbfounded.

“Wait, is the school crazy?”

“That's Shuchiin…”

“Why even compete? Let's just surrender and admit defeat.”

“Isn't this just asking for humiliation?”

…

While the students were discussing, they couldn't help but turn their gazes to two people in the classroom.

A small portion of the gaze was on Yukino Yukinoshita.

After all, she was the second in the grade in terms of overall scores.

But most of the gazes were focused on Yozora, who was sleeping on the throne in the back row by the window.

First in the grade.

It's hard to say about the upper grades.

But through the spring exams, the students of Soubu High School all had a realization.

Yozora is the strongest first-year student in Soubu High School.

Moreover, he is the strongest who is far ahead of others, with all three subjects being the first in the grade.

If we really had to hold a joint exam with Private Shuchiin Academy…

Only these two people have a little hope of winning, right?

“In short…”

Looking at the Class A students who were whispering to each other and had no confidence at all, Shizuka Hiratsuka just sighed helplessly.

There's no way around it.

If the students showed an attitude of being sure to win after hearing what she just said, then the problem would be really serious.

It is recommended to go to the psychiatric department for an evaluation.

After all, the opponent in this joint exam is the Private Shuchiin Academy, which stands tall and is known as the cradle of future talents in the Cherry Blossom Province.

Although Soubu High School is also considered a good school, it is not even in the same league as this behemoth.

The school authorities of Soubu High School are not so foolish as to have the naive and fearless idea that they can defeat Shuchiin in terms of average scores.

They didn't even place their hopes on Yukino Yukinoshita, who was second in the grade.

Only Yozora, who had won first place in the joint exam, had the hope of defeating Private Shuchiin Academy.

The school authorities of Soubu High School placed all their bets on him alone.

…

Lunch break.

“It's finally over, it was too hard.”

Rio Futaba, who had transferred to Class A, couldn't help but retort when she heard Yozora say this.

“What's so hard about it? Weren't you sleeping all morning?”

“Eh, you can't say it like that.”

Yozora waved his hand in a serious manner.

“I was racking my brains to think about the future plans of the Super-Dimensional Research Society, I wasn't sleeping.”

Rio Futaba heard the words curiously.

“Then what did you think of?”

Yozora looked directly into Rio Futaba's eyes and replied with a chuckle.

“For the future plans of the Super-Dimensional Research Society, next time I go to your house, please wear a maid outfit and call me master.”

Rio Futaba's face suddenly turned red when she heard the words, and she lowered her voice and said.

“Don't talk nonsense, this is at school, okay, I won't chat with you, I'll wait for you in the activity room.”

At this time, Touma Kazusa was looking forward to the most anticipated part of her day after arriving at school every day.

She lay on her small pillow, her arms seemingly shielding the surrounding view, burying her head deeply like an ostrich.

Actually.

Touma Kazusa was secretly observing Yozora, who was sitting next to her, through the gaps in her arms.

“Touma, wake up.”

Yozora stood up and patted Touma Kazusa on the shoulder.

That's right.

This is the most anticipated part of Touma Kazusa's day after arriving at school every day.

Yozora's wake-up service.

Usually, Touma Kazusa would pretend to have just woken up, rubbing her eyes and raising her head.

But this time…

Touma Kazusa quickly raised her head, a cold light flashed in her delicate and slender eyes, staring directly at Yozora's face, and said softly.

“Why don't you come to my house?”

Yozora didn't have the slightest surprised expression at this sudden question, but rather looked like he had expected it.

“Heh heh, I knew it, you've been pretending to be asleep every day.”

Being exposed so bluntly, Touma Kazusa couldn't help but blush slightly.

But her main characteristic is being stubborn.

“Stop saying useless things, I'm asking you, why don't you come to my house?”
