Two days later, Alfred took Cole to meet Emely — his friend's childhood friend's sister — in the open space outside Fourth Middle School.
Seeing only two kids, Emely angrily turned to her brother and his friend, "Is this what you meant by high-quality berries? Bringing children to fool me?"
Kian quickly tried to calm her down, "How could I dare deceive you, Emely! Don't be angry. Since you're here, at least take a look — their berries might surprise you."
As Alfred's c...

"Being at the bottom, I'll be 'It' first... Let's do this, but no hard feelings whoever loses!" Gurimu balanced on the soccer ball while searching for a suitable target.
Even before starting, he was already drenched in sweat.
After hesitating for about ten seconds, he finally made his move, dribbling through the crowd like a headless chicken. Whether in physical ability or soccer skills, he was absolutely last place, completely unable to kick anyone.
Ryōsuke knew what he wo...

Kazuma found Chie annoying, but he still glanced at his computer. He had bet everything on Kakeru and looked forward to his student making a comeback in this island exam.
‘Let this woman be happy for now’ He thought confidently, ‘Kakeru would soon take the lead.’
"Sakagami-sensei—"
A Class C student came running over urgently, his back drenched with sweat. It was Daichi Ishizaki.
"If we take corn from a spot occupied by another class, how many Base Points wil...

The sun painted half the sky crimson as dawn faded away. Dazzling sunlight scattered across the ground like golden ripples.
Iroha stood at her dressing table mirror brushing her teeth, squinting at her reflection. Her vacant eyes betrayed her fatigue, her mind clearly wandering elsewhere.
After completing her simple morning routine, she walked to the living room where she found Ayase and Kirino deep in discussion about Jujutsu.

"Iroha, you must be lying! Miss Mei Mei said that a Sorcerer's power depends on their Cursed Power and Innate Technique. Senpai's techniques are clearly slashing and flames!"
Until now, Ayase couldn't forget when the three of them entered the Magano — those terrifying invisible slashes and the mushroom cloud that rose into the sky. The high-temperature flames had detonated in the Magano, releasing enough power to instantly purify all the surrounding Impurities.
How could Daiki, ...

Baraggan Louisenbairn, the former God-King of Hueco Mundo, was utterly defeated.
His wails echoed through the skies as his dignity as king was ground into the dirt by Akira.
More than the defeat itself, Baraggan couldn't accept that his power — which he had always believed to be unmatched — proved ineffective against a mere Shinigami. Against other Hollows and Shinigami, his power had been absolute, but against Akira, it was less than one-hundredth as effective.
He had p...

Perhaps becoming a turncoat wasn't such a bad choice — especially after Aizen heard certain deranged remarks.
Just moments ago, he had used Kyōka Suigetsu to hypnotize all the Adjuchas in Las Noches, methodically defeating and binding them with Kidō for his future experiments. They were now his personal property.
After completing this task, he rushed to the distant battlefield to support Akira.
To Aizen's surprise, Baraggan — who had been merely a Vasto Lorde not long ...

In the British wizarding world, September 1st is a very important day, especially for school-aged wizards over eleven.
This is the day Hogwarts begins!
Young wizards who have just turned eleven eagerly await this momentous occasion, counting down the days until it arrives.
Those between twelve and seventeen, however, often feel less enthusiastic — the start of school marks the end of their carefree summer vacation and forces them to confront their neglected holiday homewor...

Alfred's school was close to the market in the center of the Eastern District residential area. The Eastern District covered the mountainous part of Coumarine City, while the Western District encompassed the coastal area.
The school's official name was Coumarine City Fifth Elementary School.
Fifth Elementary was a small school with fewer than a hundred students, partly due to the East District's limited population and partly because two other schools — the Eighth and Ninth Eleme...

At the Aida Sports Gym, Riko showed her father Kagetora the message she'd just received from Ryōsuke.
"Those who fail will permanently lose their chance to join the National Team? Is this some kind of joke? They're basically ending players' futures!"
"This isn't a joke," Kagetora said, his expression turning serious. "According to my old friend, the Football Association will hold a press conference in a few days to announce a major project. It's prob...

The adults' attempts at deception couldn't fool Kyle, but they did succeed in thoroughly frightening Ron and Ginny.
Ron had initially shown keen interest in the topic, listening eagerly to gather insights about his upcoming first year at school.
But as the conversation continued, his enthusiasm turned to dread. Trolls, Ghosts, and Hippogriffs were frightening enough — though he reasoned he could at least run away from those, especially with the Hogwarts professors nearby.

"With all these trees and grass outside to eat, you still come to steal from my garden. How bold!" Cole said angrily.
"Pu... pu~"
"Pu pu..."
The two Caterpie squirmed, trying to break free from his grip while attempting to shoot silk at him.
Unfortunately for them, Cole held them by the napes of their necks, so their silk only landed on the ground, unable to reach him. With their tiny strength, they could only submit to his handling.

Just as he was about to head to the changing room, he noticed a slender figure who had been waiting there.
Riko Aida.

The angels of Class B truly experienced hell.
Meanwhile, on the beach, the teachers discovered something interesting.
All four homeroom teachers had gathered there. This arrangement was only for the first day — starting tomorrow, they would take turns with two teachers on duty each day. After all, even teachers needed rest, so those not on duty could return to the ship.
It seemed like a pleasant setup. However, after establishing a simple supply exchange post, the four hom...

Everyone gathered together to enjoy a lavish dinner.
Under the bright lights, the living room buzzed with energy. All previous unpleasantness seemed forgotten.
As night fell, Ayase and the others cleaned up the dishes.
"Iroha, it's getting late. Why don't Kirino and I stay over at your place? It would be troublesome if we ran into something nasty out there."
Iroha's face stiffened slightly.
Behind Ayase's warm smile lay her true motive — she wanted to use this ...

Whoosh!
Blue flames rose up, releasing the rich aroma of miso soup that made one's mouth water.
But even more intriguing than the miso soup were Mafuyu's words.
[Daiki-kun, are you free tonight? I could visit you, or you could come to my place.]
These simple words nearly made Ayase and Iroha's heads spin.
This teacher was notorious for being strict and cold — hardly any students at Sōbu High School had ever seen her smile.
Now here she wa...

As the God King of Hueco Mundo, Baraggan had lived for countless ages, beyond the reach of memory.
In his earliest recollections, Hueco Mundo was sparsely populated by Hollows. Among the first Vasto Lordes to emerge in this realm, he had a fated rival named Ikomikidomoe.
{T/N: It's not certain if Ikomikidomoe is the original name, but I will use this one since it was renamed by Ichibē Hyōsube.}
Pure white with black cracks sprawling across his body, Ikomikidomoe possessed ...

A crescent moon hung high in the pitch-black sky, scattered stars adorning its deep indigo hue. Two figures flew swiftly beneath the moonlight like shooting stars.
Given Akira's own formidable nature, he readily supported Aizen's unorthodox methods, and the two quickly set off for Hueco Mundo.
As Captain of the 11th Division, Akira's extended absence could cause problems in the Seireitei. Aizen suggested a strategy: disappear for brief periods, then return when sought after, using...

And so the situation unfolded.
After disembarking from the ship, both Class B and Class C students surrendered their phones to their respective homeroom teachers. Following protocol, everyone donned wristbands that combined location tracking, health monitoring, and time display functions.

He planned to exchange their 300 Base Points with Class B for money, but first, they needed to ensure those points remained valid.

"Sigh! Iroha, when did you get here?" Turning around, she noticed the sliding kitchen door had been cracked open.
A small head poked through, giving Ayase a death glare filled with such intense dissatisfaction and resentment that it left her speechless.

Are that golden clock and flintlock rifle also Sorcerer abilities? Why are all of his abilities so peculiar?
Sitting on the sofa, Iroha stared blankly at the ceiling, never imagining she would experience a second "first time" in life.
Thankfully, Ayase and Kirino's minds were pure and didn't think in other directions, or it wouldn't just be a matter of social death.

Mayuri had a nightmare.
In his dream, he lay on a basic operating table while unsterilized instruments dismantled his once-intact body.
The technique was so poor it made him sick.
As a scientist who had lived for over a hundred years, Mayuri had his own philosophy.
He deeply despised the word "perfect." Perfection meant the end — no room for creation — signifying that everything he had would become useless.
For scientists, "perfection" was despair. His life g...

Mayuri woke up from unconsciousness to find two unfamiliar faces before him.
Both were of average build, wearing pristine white garments with Quincy pendants at their collars.
His heart sank as he grasped the situation. How had these once-defeated soldiers grown so formidable?
Recalling the previous battle, Mayuri's expression darkened. He attempted to move but found himself completely paralyzed — not even a finger would respond.
"Ah, our dear Shinigami has awakened....
