⤫ Chapter 212 ⥤ Traditions of Las Noches ⤬

In the massive palace, a handsome man who resembled a medieval knight sat at the head position. A flash of crimson passed through his eyes, giving him the presence of a true king.

His brows furrowed in contemplation, worry etched across his face.

Jugram Haschwalth was not in a good mood, especially after receiving His Majesty's latest orders.

"A man capable of competing with His Majesty for the throne of the Quincy King? How could this be possible?" Jugram's right hand press...

In the empty research room.

A figure darted between the equipment, working with frantic precision. A pot of soup bubbled ominously, strange creature parts floating in its thick broth.

Kisuke held a book, periodically adding mysterious ingredients like some medieval witch.

{T/N: Here comes the Holloween... please understand the joke.}

"Strange, I followed the recipe exactly, yet the final product looks nothing like the sample." He muttered, scratching his head in confus...

✲ Chapter 30 ⇾ School Enrollment ✲

Under Alfred's guidance, Cole arrived at Fourth Middle School and met the enrollment teacher at reception — a tall, thin man wearing glasses.

After Cole handed over his admission letter, the teacher checked it carefully. Once he confirmed Cole's identity, his face lit up with a warm smile.

"So you're Cole Sage! I've heard about you, and now I finally get to meet you in person. Welcome, young man!"

Cole: (● ⋏ ●)?

He was puzzled — was he really that well-known?...

✲ Chapter 29 ⇾ A New Problem ✲

Cole, Diantha, and Lysandre were carried away from the Sea Spirit's Den by Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres respectively.

After dropping them off outside, the legendary birds departed immediately. They needed to return to guarding the slumbering Lugia, as they couldn't stay away from the Sea Spirit's Den for long.

After the birds left, Diantha let out a long sigh, "Phew~ Finally, it's over!"

Cole nodded, "Indeed. Did everything go alright with your mission?"

✭ Chapter 37 ➜ A Close Call ✭

Taking advantage of a group of Ravenclaw witches entering the Transfiguration classroom, Kyle quickly followed them, walking naturally toward the teacher's desk.

Only one young witch remained in front of Kyle as they reached the second row, just a step away from the teacher's desk.

His hand gripped the dried fish treats tightly in his pocket. Though his heart was racing, he maintained a calm and collected appearance.

But just as Kyle was about to pull out the treats and unlo...

✭ Chapter 36 ➜ Friend-zoned ✭

"Kyle, are you sure this is okay?" As soon as Cho left, Cedric — who had been standing on the sidelines the whole time — came over and whispered, "I mean, will Ravenclaw first-years really pay for maps?"

"Who knows." Kyle shrugged, "Let's give it a try. We've got nothing better to do anyway."

Though he said that casually, he was actually quite confident.

Hogwarts had no signposts, and first-years had to find their way to each classroom on their own or ask older students ...

❖ Chapter 37 ➠ In Front of the Penalty Area, I am the Absolute Defense ❖

"I'm counting on you, Okawa!"

Ikki kicked hard, sending the ball in a perfect arc through the air to Hibiki, who was breaking through on the wing.

"Nice pass!" Hibiki controlled the ball smoothly while scanning the center with his peripheral vision.

At that moment, three players blocked Ryōsuke from the defensive line.

Though he would eventually break free, these precious seconds gave Hibiki the distance he needed.

With the entire team joining the attack, Team Y...

❖ Chapter 36 ➠ Burning the Boats - Team Y's Desperate Counterattack ❖

"Everyone, quiet down and listen."

In Team Y's locker room, all eyes focused on Ikki's face.

He gritted his teeth. Though he knew his strategy was extremely risky, it was Team Y's only remaining option.

"We have no room to retreat. We're at the edge of a cliff in this match. We can only fight to the death — we must use that strategy: all-out attack!"

If Hibiki alone couldn't get past Ryōsuke, then the entire team would take him on! No matter how skilled he was, he c...

❂ Chapter 128 ➺ Standing in the Rain… Not Alone ❂

Masumi was quite useful when it came to reporting gathered information.

She felt somewhat uneasy about monitoring Mio's movements, but Houtarou had already taken her to verify the cameras and walkie-talkies that Mio had buried — clear evidence that Mio was planning something.

If Mio were in Class A now, and Class A's leader information had leaked, she would likely be the one secluding herself in the rain instead of Honami.

"Well, that's not what I wanted to hear. This is a school of merit! What's the point of telling me how pitiful you all are!" Kakeru interrupted Honami's account of discovering Mio was a spy.

"Ryūen!"

His words instantly provoked everyone's anger.

He was now the only Class C student on this beach, surrounded by forty Class B students.

While the girls might not look intimidating, there were plenty of boys among them.

However...

۞ Chapter 208 ⟴ Saki's Determination ۞

In the night city, neon lights flickered and colors flowed like a living painting, creating a mesmerizing spectacle.

Standing under a streetlight, Saki was preparing to take Keika and her sister's classmate Rumi home.

Days ago, mysterious disasters had led to Rumi's parents' suicide, leaving her alone. According to Keika, Rumi was ostracized at school, with Keika being her only friend.

'Another isolated soul that others avoid? Why do I keep encountering people like this!' Sa...

۞ Chapter 207 ⟴ The Dinner Party at the Yukinoshita Residence ۞

"Mr. Tsukasa, how do you find the taste? Is there anything that needs improvement? I'll fix it right away." Nene's expression grew unusually tense.

She had given it her all, but whether it would satisfy Daiki remained uncertain.

Sonoka looked at her in surprise — weren't the Elite Ten of Tōtsuki supposed to be arrogant? Yet she seemed quite gentle.

Erina watched Nene, then turned to look at Alice, and after a long contemplation, her pupils suddenly contracted.

"Lady...

۞ Chapter 206 ⟴ The Measurement That Shocks Anyone ۞

"Alice, why are you here?" Erina's composure crumbled instantly.

Alice lived in Denmark, so she shouldn't have known the Chiba family. Their long-standing conflict meant they could barely tolerate each other's presence, and this encounter was no different.

The smug smile on Alice's face gave Erina an ominous feeling — she was surely plotting something.

"Hmph, do I need to report my whereabouts to you?"

Alice's defiant response made Nene adjust her round glas...

۞ Chapter 205 ⟴ Alice's Crisis of Confidence ۞

"Lady Erina, Kobayashi-senpai and Kinokuni-senpai are giving it their all — shouldn't we get more serious too?"

Erina seemed distracted, but Hisako, in her role as secretary, sensed something unusual in the air.

Rindō's cooking radiated power — the overwhelming aura of the Elite Ten's 2nd Seat emanating from her dishes' fragrance.

The petite Momo was equally absorbed in crafting her desserts, making Hisako shift nervously.

Erina's brow furrowed as she observed Nen...

Las Noches. The Arrancar Research Laboratory.

Upon receiving Aizen's message, Akira rushed through a Garganta to the lab, filled with curiosity.

In the vast laboratory, grotesque Hollows bustled about, carrying equipment for the experiment.

Szayelaporro, serving as the assistant, gave directions with obvious excitement. Participating in the Arrancar experiment filled him with unprecedented honor.

His relationship with Aizen differed from Akira's. As fellow scientists, ...

"Kisuke, you know, in principle I could beat Yama-jii."

In the 11th Division's research lab, Akira sat on a special sofa, his face bruised and swollen like a demon's as he stubbornly explained.

"But the problem is, right now the principles are in the old man's hands. Just wait — I'll make that old man pay dearly!"

Kisuke cast a meaningful glance at him and casually remarked, "Actually, Captain, you could just stab yourself and let Captain-Commander Yamamoto taste the pain ...

"I'll do my best!" Cole said with determination.

While Lugia still maintained its sanity, Articuno shattered the ice encasing its spirit, allowing it to return to its body.

Articuno warned him, "Lugia can only stay conscious briefly. You must work together quickly to remove Yveltal's tail feather!"

Cole nodded and strode to the black egg, placing his hand upon it.

The moment he touched it, countless crimson energies lunged at him like wild beasts.

Cole felt uneasy under the gaze of the three legendary birds, "Why are you all looking at me like that?"

Articuno spoke, "I hope you can help us with something."

"What is it?"

The three legendary birds exchanged glances before Moltres spoke, "We hope you can help save Lugia!"

Just as expected! When Articuno first spoke, Cole had already ...

Minerva didn't stay long before returning to her office.

No sooner had she stepped out of the Great Hall than the Hufflepuff badgers erupted, transforming the once-quiet dining table into a bustling marketplace. They huddled in small groups, mockingly reenacting the Weasley brothers' pitiful expressions, laughing so hard they pounded the tables.

Even the typically shy and introverted Kanna had her head down, her little shoulders shaking with suppressed laughter.

Kyle was dum...

"Rita Skeeter? That reporter from the Daily Prophet?" Fred asked, puzzled, "What does she have to do with this?"

George chimed in, "Besides, we're not interested in her — she's destined for unrequited love."

"What a shame." Kyle said dismissively, walking between the two of them.

Lunch had already started, and he just wanted to sit down and enjoy some tender steak and pumpkin juice, rather than standing at the Great Hall entrance like an idiot.

But Fred and George ha...

Sae was arrogant and cold, disdaining even family ties, though he had the credentials to back up his pride.

His tremendous ability had earned him countless fans, and even the Football Association Chairman had to curry favor with him. In a recent interview with the largest local TV station, he openly expressed his disappointment and contempt for Japanese football.

That same day, Sae discovered the Blue Lock Project's existence and, finding it intriguing, had his agent monitor devel...

At 10 o'clock, as Kakeru questioned his life choices, Tomonari announced the exam results.

The homeroom teachers from the other three classes were present.

Sae stood with her right arm held by her left — her usual dignified and serious demeanor.

News of the culinary competition spread like wildfire, stirring excitement among the world's top chefs — including those who operated in the shadows.

In an unnamed restaurant, a red-haired youth with white bandages wrapped around his head stared quizzically at his father, who sat deep in thought.

In Sōma's memory, his father had always been carefree and nonchalant since they'd opened the Yukihira Diner. Yet after receiving a phone call this afternoon, his father had fallen into...

The usually calm and composed Nene was trembling slightly — could she have encountered a Cursed Spirit or Evil Spirit on her way here?

Meeting Sonoka and the others' concerned looks, Nene forced a smile and said, "No, I just remembered something important."

Not only did Kirino find it tasty, but Hana, sitting beside her, was amazed by the molecular cuisine after just one bite.

Under the crescent moon, emerald rain poured down, blanketing the battlefield. The demon's black wings spread behind him, blocking out the sky as Reiatsu storms howled and swirled up to the zenith.

Ulquiorra's appearance transformed dramatically. His shattered mask regrew into an imposing horned helmet, its curved blades menacing and sharp.
