❂ Chapter 132 ➺ Congratulations For You ❂

"Sakura-san, which room are you staying in on the cruise ship? I just want to check on Horikita. The room number is all I need — you don't have to come back specially." Houtarou said hurriedly.

Airi was truly kind — when she heard he was going to check on Suzune, she immediately offered to return from the celebration party.

Her absence from the party likely stemmed from concern about leaving Suzune alone in the dorm.

After ending his call with the kind-hearted Airi, Hout...

۞ Chapter 216 ⟴ Let This Senior Show You How It's Done ۞

"Terrible! Next!" The spotlessly clean plate sat before him as Kishibe elegantly wiped his mouth.

Despite being full, he had to admit the taste wasn't bad. Unable to resist, he had cleaned off Terunori's mapo tofu completely, only now realizing how mediocre the previous dishes had been.

The short, spiky-haired blonde before him ranked among Tōtsuki's Elite Ten — though not in the top positions — yet possessed remarkable skill.

'What a shame. This food selection wasn't m...

۞ Chapter 215 ⟴ A Huge Amateur Operation ۞

At the Culinary Selection venue.

The Prime Minister's sudden announcement of the selection timing caught participants off guard — some even found themselves stranded at airports.

To avoid such complications, the Tōtsuki Elite Ten, led by Kojirō Shinomiya, arrived at the venue five hours early.

The Culinary Selection Competition's venue was a magnificent hall, complete with judges' platforms and cooking stations. However, what shocked Kojirō and the others was learning t...

⤫ Chapter 222 ⥤ The Highest Level of Being Undercover ⤬

Lille Barro had been feeling down lately.

Once hailed as the strongest squadron in the Wandenreich, the Schutzstaffel now had him as its sole remaining commander.

Pernida had followed Gerard on a mission to prevent a serious situation from developing, never to return.

Gerard had challenged Hashirama Senju of his own accord and was beaten to death. The opponent even claimed that the Miracle's power was too strong.

How ridiculous was that?

Lille had contemplated re...

⤫ Chapter 221 ⥤ Your Power is Too Great ⤬

Akira had to admit that the Quincy were far more eccentric than he had anticipated.

Though he'd only been promoted to the Sternritter for a few days, challengers kept appearing one after another. Now he'd even drawn the attention of Gerard Valkyrie and Pernida Parnkgjas from the Schutzstaffel.

Still, this worked out well — it saved him quite a bit of trouble.

"Gu..." The small figure shrouded in a white cloak made an incomprehensible sound.

Gerard turned back in disp...

⤫ Chapter 220 ⥤ Confidence Overflowing ⤬

Inside the training grounds of the Sixth Tower.

"You fool, do you know who I am? Out of my way — I need to teach this arrogant fellow a lesson!"

Fierce flames surrounded Bazz-B, their terrifying heat distorting the air into twisted, grotesque patterns.

He pointed at Sōken, his voice filled with fury.

"I am the invincible Bazz-B! Just a mere newcomer..."

Sōken's mouth twitched as he let out a helpless sigh. If not for his kind heart and sympathy, he wouldn't h...

⤫ Chapter 219 ⥤ A Man of Great Spirit Lives Between Heaven and Earth ⤬

"Don't be nervous." Jugram's gentle voice rang out, "This is His Majesty's power, granting you new abilities through soul inscription. Most members of the Sternritter..."

Before he could finish speaking, a sudden change occurred in the empty room.

The azure pillar of light contracted, and within it bloomed a pure blackness, spreading like a virus, instantly contaminating the entire column. The azure light was devoured by ink-black darkness.

Jugram's brows furrowed, his blood...

✭ Chapter 40 ➜ The Sorting Hat Must Be Drunk ✭

The next day, Kyle joined the Gryffindor first-years for History of Magic on the castle's second floor.

There's not much to say about this class. As Hogwarts' most tedious course, he found himself dozing off the entire time. Never had he imagined a class could be this boring.

Professor Cuthbert Binns, being a ghost, skipped the usual intimidating introductory speech. There was no classroom interaction at all.

His pearly-white form drifted through the wall into the classroom,...

❖ Chapter 40 ➠ Game Over - Total Domination! ❖

The final whistle blew.

The scoreboard displayed 9–0, an even more decisive victory than Team Y's previous 8–0 loss.

Once Ryōsuke scored the first goal, the match was effectively over, becoming little more than a formality.

Team Y's morale crumbled completely. Their stamina depleted, they could barely maintain any defensive formation, their fighting spirit utterly shattered.

Team Z controlled the second half masterfully, with Ryōsuke unleashing his full potential...

❂ Chapter 131 ➺ Enhanced Restoration Ability ❂

Houtarou returned to the luxury cruise ship.

While regular students shared rooms three to a room, he had spent points to secure a single room with a large bed.

Lying on the comfortable bed, he took out his phone. The homeroom teachers had returned students' phones when they boarded the small boats to the ship.

He opened his phone and checked his student ID section.

『Houtarou Oreki』
『Student ID: 1008610010』
『Class: First Year, Class A』

۞ Chapter 214 ⟴ Should I Deliver It to His Door? ۞

Today was destined to be an eventful day at Sōbu High!

The class's new rising star, Daiki Tsukasa, suddenly took a day off.

Taking a day off wouldn't normally cause such a stir, but the exchange student from Tōtsuki, Alice Nakiri, who sat behind him, was also absent.

The class had already been envious of how quickly their relationship was developing, but who would have thought they'd both be absent on the same day?

Not only was Alice absent, but Yukino from the class...

۞ Chapter 213 ⟴ The Antidote to Break the Curse ۞

"The God's Tongue has such a curse? Grandpa, why haven't any of you mentioned this before?"

Senzaemon explained to Erina about the curse of the God's Tongue.

The revelation left her dumbfounded. She had always thought the God's Tongue was a gift from heaven, only to discover it carried a curse.

Even her mother, Mana Nakiri, had been forced to leave because of this curse, becoming WGO's sole Bookmaster. Never having heard this before, Erina struggled to process such an extrao...

⤫ Chapter 218 ⥤ Schrift ⤬

News of a newcomer joining the Wandenreich spread like wildfire.

From the Sternritter Knights down to the rank-and-file troops, everyone had heard about it — not because this newcomer was particularly strong, but because his way of doing things was bizarre.

Every fighting force was vital to the Wandenreich, as they would eventually wage war against the Shinigami of Soul Society.

Jugram regularly recruited soldiers for the empire, mostly pure-blooded Quincy from the World o...

⤫ Chapter 217 ⥤ Time Management Master ⤬

Present day, Karakura Town.

Sōken Ishida stared numbly at the young man chatting casually with him, unable to form a response. The situation was too sudden to process.

The Captain of the 11th Division — who had been demon-like just years ago — had transformed into a pure-blooded Quincy.

No one could easily accept such a transformation.

It was like ordering a burger and finding it made of cardboard, or checking your lottery ticket only to realize you were reading l...

✲ Chapter 32 ⇾ Keith, The Classmate✲

The next day, Cole and Alfred walked to school together.

On the way, Cole spotted a Caterpie wriggling in the grass. He took out a berry from his backpack and offered it.

"Hey Caterpie, I'll give you this berry if you input a bit of energy into my device. What do you say?"

"Li~"

The Caterpie nodded happily, its eyes squinting.

As its energy entered the device, the rating appeared.

Cedric and Cho had been chatting in the Great Hall, and though Kyle didn't know the topic, Cedric returned to the Hufflepuff common room wearing a smile.

Kyle was reading when a bulging pouch dropped from above, landing on his open book.

"Whoa... what's this?" Startled, he looked up at Cedric, who was grinning broadly, "What's gotten into you? Found some money? Why are you smirking like that?"

"This is better than finding money!" Cedric squeezed onto the sofa, "Guess how muc...

❖ Chapter 39 ➠ The Blade is Drawn! Kill the Game! ❖

Meguru delivered a powerful kick, sending the ball flying.

‘Who was that pass meant for — was it a mistake?’ Falling back to his team's half of the field, Ikki was puzzled. In his field of vision, there wasn't a single player who could receive that ball.

Wait, no ordinary player could receive such a pass...

But Ryōsuke could!

Before Ikki could process what was happening, Ryōsuke had already received the pass and materialized before him.

"Nice pass!" He ch...

"Then here's the other option." Houtarou said, "Ichinose-san, if you don't accept the proposal to have your classmate fall ill, then the only path left is to accept the losses from having your class's leader guessed. But you're in luck. Those here now are students from my Class A, and Kushida-san is from Class D. Kōenji only needs 600 points from this exam, so neither I nor he has any need to guess your leader information. Therefore, your class will at most suffer a 50-point loss from Class ...

۞ Chapter 212 ⟴ The Culinary Selection Begins ۞

The Cabinet Prime Minister made a sudden announcement: the Culinary Selection would begin immediately!

Originally planned for the following days, this abrupt scheduling caught top chefs worldwide completely off guard.

International airports became overwhelmed with chefs rushing to attend.

Asahi Saiba, the mysterious and technically brilliant leader of Les Cuisiniers Noirs, stood with his kitchen equipment box in one hand and a heavy suitcase in the other.

He had expect...

۞ Chapter 211 ⟴ From the Same Style, No Way to Break Through ۞

In the spacious "arena" (aka common room).

Yukino and Haruno faced each other with cold smiles, their fists clenched.

Each sister was absolutely certain of her victory!

They circled each other across the wide arena, Cursed Energy surging around their fists with incredible speed.

Haruno raised her palm and called out, "Yukino, should your big sister give you a two-move handicap? Don't blame my age when you lose!"

Her smile masked her true feelings — the Cursed E...

"I see."

Though those were Its words, seeing Akira's completely clueless expression, Mimihagi knew that what It had just said might as well have been meaningless.

Who had this kid learned such baseless confidence from?

When they first met, he had been so wary of the outside world, treating any kindness as ulterior motives. After being raised for less than a hundred years, had this kid already discarded all his survival instincts from the Rukongai?

"Actually, the detail...

⤫ Chapter 215 ⥤ How Can a Big Catch Be Called Empty-Handed? ⤬

"What are these things?" Akira stared at the giant Pac-Man-like monsters before him, scratching his head in confusion.

He had a vague impression of them, but couldn't quite place what they were.

Were they Hell's native species?

The black light expanded rapidly, enveloping this layer of Hell in an instant, plunging everything into darkness.

As he pondered this, a pure white figure emerged among the monsters — a warrior with a build as mighty as Zaraki's, grass-like ha...

✲ Chapter 31 ⇾ Energy Detector ✲

Cole and Alfred were walking home from school that afternoon, later than the other children who had already returned.

When he entered the house, Lily greeted him, "Brother Cole, a package came for you today. I put it in your room."

Package? Cole was puzzled — he hadn't ordered anything recently.

"Are you sure it's for me? Not delivered to the wrong address?"

Lily replied, "It has your name and the correct address. It must be right."

"I'll go check it out then."...

✭ Chapter 38 ➜ Are You Serious? ✭

First-year students obviously couldn't learn biological transfiguration in their first class.

To demonstrate how challenging it would be to master turning furniture into animals, Minerva used just one match as an example.

Despite their earnest wand-waving efforts, the matches in front of the young wizards showed no signs of change.

Some things are like that — others make it look effortless, but when you try it yourself, everything falls apart, especially when that "other p...

❖ Chapter 38 ➠ Interception! And the Counterattack Begins! ❖

"Don't rush! Second attack!" Ikki shouted after receiving the ball, urging his teammates to calm down and reorganize their offense.

Despite their strategic setup and the perfect opportunity they had created, anxiety gripped his heart. They still couldn't score.

What kind of monster was Ryōsuke Kira?

Ikki realized he had gravely underestimated his opponent's abilities — Ryōsuke was far more terrifying than he had imagined.

After their failed first attempt, Team Y ha...

❂ Chapter 129 ➺ Soaking In The Water ❂

"Look, I'm not here to listen to your personal affairs!" Kakeru said, "Why do three classes all know I'm the leader? And they all fucking wrote down my name!"

He was clearly furious.

"P-personal affairs—" Even the normally sociable and cheerful Honami couldn't help but blush.

But Class B's students were grateful to Houtarou.

They hadn't realized that she had taken all the responsibility upon herself and gone to stand in the rain as self-punishment. It was heartbreaki...

۞ Chapter 210 ⟴ It's Time to See the Difference Between Us ۞

A deathly silence hung over the Yukinoshita household. The cleaning maid held her breath, not daring to face Yukino.

Mrs. Yukinoshita's face was slightly pale, her avoiding gaze unable to meet her daughter's eyes, as if afraid of being scolded.

Only Haruno remained composed, gently pushing away her bowl and chopsticks, "Thank you for the meal, Miss Hisako."

"No need to be so formal! This is all thanks to... well... anyway... no need to thank me..."

Hisako waved her han...

۞ Chapter 209 ⟴ The Chaos ۞

At dawn, a pearly white light gradually appeared on the horizon, like a delicate ink painting, with faint rays spilling through the cracks into the room.

Erina lay with her golden hair scattered over her shoulders, clutching her head as waves of dizziness and headache washed over her.

The lingering scent of alcohol hung in the air, a reminder of the night's red wine flowing in crystal stemware amid clinking glasses.

'Wasn't I supposed to get Itsuki drunk first, and then... w...

⤫ Chapter 214 ⥤ The Dishonorable Old Man ⤬

Looking at the demon-like figure in the sky, Genryūsai's expression was complicated, filled with an indescribable impulse.

This kid had broken through to Rank 1 Reiatsu?

Though most of Akira's abilities came from his own teachings, Genryūsai felt no satisfaction at this sight. He should have had thoughts like "my unruly disciple has finally grown up" or "my painstaking cultivation wasn't in vain — the child can now stand on his own."

But Genryūsai felt none of that.

⤫ Chapter 213 ⥤ Today's the Day ⤬

Facing Akira, who descended like a demon god, all four opponents fought at full power but were beaten to a pulp without landing a single blow.

Whether provoked by Lilynette's words or simply feeling playful, Starrk abandoned his usual lazy demeanor and immediately deployed his newest superweapon.
