Chapter 78

"Student Battlefront, are you really an exorcist?" In the staff room, Ito finally mustered the courage to ask after several attempts.

For a shut-in, it was quite a challenge for Ito to approach a beautiful girl like Battlefront Hyouka, but for the extraordinary life that every middle schooler dreams of, Ito, who suffers from middle schooler syndrome, finally managed to ask.

Battlefront Hyouka turned her gaze towards him. Her authoritative eyes made Ito immediately feel at a loss, but before he could think of what to say, Battlefront Hyouka spoke first.

"I am not an exorcist." After giving a simple answer, Battlefront Hyouka turned her head and continued to vigilantly watch her surroundings.

"But, Battlefront, your sword clearly glows," Mizuki Yuka also asked curiously.

Although Mizuki Yuka was not Battlefront Hyouka's homeroom teacher, she did teach her class, so she couldn't simply brush off the teacher's question, even though she was very worried about Aoba.

"This is just a temporary blessing from Lord Aoba, and it can only be used for a little over an hour," Battlefront Hyouka explained.

"Is that so!" Everyone finally understood.

"How did you and Uesugi get to know each other? You seem quite familiar with each other, but we never see you interacting at school!" Mizuki Yuka continued to ask. It seemed that even as a teacher, her curiosity about gossip couldn't be suppressed. For Battlefront Hyouka, the school idol, to have an unusual relationship with Aoba, a student with an ordinary appearance, naturally piqued Mizuki Yuka's interest.

"I met Lord Aoba because of some matters," Battlefront Hyouka said hesitantly.

Because those matters were not easy to talk about.

"Why? Why?" Mizuki Yuka immediately followed up.

The other three boys, though pretending not to care, were also listening curiously.

"Well, well," Battlefront Hyouka stammered. Just as the strong-willed beauty was at a loss for words, a savior arrived.

Several stiff figures appeared in the corridor.

Indeed, these students possessed by ghosts were now Battlefront Hyouka's saviors.

"There's a situation." Battlefront Hyouka ran out of the staff room, drawing her sword and slashing at the figures.

The others immediately followed, as Battlefront Hyouka was now their only hope. The sudden appearance of the possessed students also made them forget to continue questioning Battlefront Hyouka.

Especially Mizuki Yuka, who hid behind Ishihara Yuma, clutching his clothes tightly, looking like she could cry at any moment. This teacher, who had been scared to tears on the first day of school by Aoba, was indeed a natural crybaby. Although she might have forgotten to cry due to the initial shock, now that she felt a bit safer, she seemed even more likely to cry.

Battlefront Hyouka swung her sword, the blade glowing with a milky white aura, and swept it over the heads of the possessed students.

The ghosts were instantly destroyed, and the students fainted. She then continued to swing her sword, destroying the ghosts on the remaining students.

"Alright, now they just need to rest. They'll be fine when they wake up," Battlefront Hyouka said, sheathing her sword.

"Come, everyone, let's move them to the staff room," Mizuki Yuka, as a teacher, immediately stood up and said.

Despite her appearance of being on the verge of tears, she never forgot her duty as a teacher.

Thus, the three boys, at Mizuki Yuka's urging, began to move the students to the staff room.

The staff room was now filled with unconscious students.

Battlefront Hyouka stood there, watching the three boys move the students, feeling puzzled. This was the third wave of possessed students she had encountered while guarding the area, and she had already saved over a dozen students.

"Teacher Mizuki, why are so many students still at school today?" Battlefront Hyouka asked curiously.

"Battlefront, you might not know, but the choir club is holding a sleepover at school tonight! And their sleepover is on this floor," Mizuki Yuka explained.

"So, these are all students from the choir club's sleepover?" Battlefront Hyouka asked.

"Yes, these students are all from the choir club! Besides them, many more students are participating in the sleepover tonight. I wonder how they are doing," Mizuki Yuka said, looking at the students being moved into the staff room with concern.

"I see. Then let's go to the choir club's sleepover location!" Battlefront Hyouka said.

"Huh? What are you going to do, Battlefront?" Mizuki Yuka immediately asked, and the three boys who had finished moving the students also looked at her.

"Clear out any possible enemies on this floor so that you will be safe, and then I can go find Lord Aoba," Battlefront Hyouka said.

Mizuki Yuka and the three boys looked at each other, and finally, as a teacher, Mizuki Yuka nodded first. "Alright, let's go save the other students." Although she was scared, her duty as a teacher made her make this choice.

Then she looked at the remaining three boys. "But, I wonder what Ishihara, Ito, and Inoue think? If you're worried about safety, you can stay here."

"Hehehehe, hahaha," Ito laughed in a very middle schooler-like manner before saying, "I've been looking forward to such an event for a long time. How could I back down now! Let the name of the True Flame of Sin resound across the land!"

"You idiot, even middle schoolers need to know when to act!" Inoue slapped Ito. "Teacher Mizuki, although I'm not as middle schooler as Ito, I've long been tired of the mundane daily life. If you want me to back down now, even if you're Teacher Mizuki, it's impossible." Inoue's eyes were full of determination. It seemed that although he criticized Ito for being a middle schooler, he himself was also a hidden middle schooler.

"Don't worry, Teacher Mizuki. I have a natural ability to see spirits, so I've been used to them since I was a child. They don't scare me much. Besides, we have Battlefront here, so it's fine," Ishihara Yuma also said.

"You, you! You are truly wonderful students. I am very proud to be your teacher," Mizuki Yuka's eyes misted over.

The three boys just scratched their heads awkwardly, not knowing what to say.

"Let's go!" Battlefront Hyouka said and led the way down the corridor.

The others immediately followed, and the corridor was left with only the sound of their footsteps.
