Chapter 81

"What happened?" Sawayama Fubuki, at this moment, didn't bother to press Miyake Reika for answers but immediately approached the magic circle, looking up at the vortex in the sky.

The vortex gradually spun faster and faster, emitting intense flashes of light, like lightning, which frightened Mizuki Yuka and the three boys so much that they instinctively raised their hands to protect themselves.

Only Sawayama Fubuki and Shiro Oni were not afraid; they even walked to the edge of the magic circle, carefully observing the vortex in the sky.

At this moment, two figures suddenly appeared in the vortex, plummeting rapidly towards the ground.

Sawayama Fubuki and Shiro Oni immediately became alert.

When the two figures were halfway down, they suddenly paused in a way that defied the laws of physics, then slowly floated to the ground.

It was only then that Sawayama Fubuki could see clearly that one of the two people was Aoba.

At this moment, Aoba was holding Sanjo Natsuki's waist, bringing her down with him.

"Aoba-sama, it's really great that you're safe." Sawayama Fubuki immediately greeted him with excitement, though her eyes couldn't help but glance at Aoba's arm around Sanjo Natsuki's waist.

Fortunately, Aoba withdrew his arm after landing, and Sawayama Fubuki also averted her gaze, but her peripheral vision remained wary of Sanjo Natsuki.

"Thank you for your concern, I'm fine." Aoba smiled and nodded.

At the same time, Shiro Oni also came forward, calling out "Master." Aoba nodded at her, and she quietly stood to one side.

Mizuki Yuka and Ishihara Yuma, who were standing at a distance, were also very excited to see Aoba and Sanjo Natsuki emerge from the vortex, but the vortex was still spinning violently, so they were hesitant to approach and stood far away, waving to Aoba and Sanjo Natsuki.

Only Miyake Reika, upon seeing her young mistress emerge unharmed, showed a look of excitement, but quickly regained her composure.

The vortex continued to spin violently for a while, then with a loud bang, shattered into countless points of light and disappeared from the sky.

Only then did Mizuki Yuka and Ishihara Yuma dare to approach the magic circle.

"Ueno-kun, Sanjo-kun, are you both alright?" Mizuki Yuka asked as she walked over.

"Don't worry, Yuka-chan, we're fine." Aoba teased.

"I'm relieved to hear that." Mizuki Yuka, at this moment, didn't bother to correct Aoba for calling her Yuka-chan.

At this moment, Sanjo Natsuki made an unexpected move.

She took a few steps back, then bowed deeply at a right angle to everyone.

"I'm very sorry for causing everyone trouble! This incident was entirely my fault; I never expected something like this to happen." Aoba had already told her about what had happened at the school, so the extremely remorseful Sanjo Natsuki apologized immediately.

"Sanjo-kun, don't take it too seriously. It's good that everyone is safe. Besides, you didn't do it on purpose." Mizuki Yuka easily forgave her student and didn't even ask what had caused all this.

As for the other three boys, they couldn't stay angry at such a beautiful girl like Sanjo Natsuki.

However, while they weren't angry, they were still curious, especially a certain otaku.

"Sanjo-kun, can I ask a question?" Ito immediately raised his hand.

"Please go ahead, classmate." Sanjo Natsuki, who didn't recognize Ito, still answered with perfect manners.

"Sanjo-kun, is that a magic circle on the ground? Did you communicate with another world through it?" Ito asked immediately.

"Yes, it is a magic circle, but I didn't communicate with another world. It was just a failed small magic! Don't worry too much about it, classmate." Sanjo Natsuki smiled and explained.

Since she thought the others had already seen it, she didn't hide much about the magic circle, but she didn't mention that the other side of the magic circle was a sealed space of the seventy-two pillars of demons, and that all the demons were dead, and the space had collapsed. If this information got out, the impact would be too great, so Sanjo Natsuki didn't say anything.

Seeing that Ito was about to ask more questions, but Sanjo Natsuki didn't intend to answer, as she noticed the injured Miyake Reika nearby.

"I'm very sorry, classmate, I would like to continue answering your questions, but my friend is injured. May I go check on her?" Sanjo Natsuki indicated Miyake Reika, who was still leaning against the fence.

"Ah, I'm very sorry." Ito immediately apologized and moved out of the way.

So, Sanjo Natsuki went to Miyake Reika's side.

"Reika-chan? How are you? Are you alright?" Sanjo Natsuki asked while checking Miyake Reika's body.

"Don't worry, young mistress, I'm fine. I've been trained to handle injuries much worse than this since I was young." Miyake Reika smiled and answered.

"I'm sorry, Reika-chan. It's all my fault that you got hurt." Sanjo Natsuki held Miyake Reika's hand, feeling guilty.

"No, young mistress, you don't need to apologize. I'm the one who should apologize for not being able to protect you." Miyake Reika said.

The two of them blamed themselves.

On the other side, Aoba was talking with everyone.

With Sanjo Natsuki no longer his target, Ito shifted all his questions to Aoba. Because they were classmates, and with the support of his otaku nature, Ito spoke much more smoothly, unlike when he was facing Sanjo Natsuki, where his admiration for the fantasy world still made him somewhat hesitant.

"Ueno-kun, where did you go? It wasn't another world, right?" Ito asked.

"Relax, it definitely wasn't another world, just a different space!" Aoba smiled and answered. Compared to Sanjo Natsuki's caution, Aoba was always straightforward, saying what he wanted to say to anyone, with little hesitation. Of course, this was partly due to his strength and personality.

"What was in that space? What did you encounter?" Ito asked with shining eyes.

"We encountered illusions that could make people lose their way, and dead demons." Aoba answered vaguely.

"Illusions? What kind of illusions? What are demons?" Ito continued to ask, and everyone, including Inoue, Ishihara Yuma, Mizuki Yuka, and Sawayama Fubuki, perked up their ears to listen.

But Aoba didn't want to say more.

"There's nothing much! Let's not talk about this. Let's discuss how to deal with the aftermath. The school is in a mess, which is quite troublesome!" Aoba changed the subject.

While Aoba would say whatever he wanted when he was in the mood, if he found something too troublesome and didn't want to explain, he would be vague, as he was now.

If he were to explain everything Ito wanted to know, it would take at least three days and three nights. Moreover, everything that happened in the illusion was Sanjo Natsuki's deepest secret and her wound, which she didn't want to talk about.

At this moment, Sanjo Natsuki, supporting Miyake Reika, walked over, and Ito's various curiosities had to be left unresolved.

Thus, everything seemed to be over.

But don't forget the mess at the school, especially the many students who were unconscious.

After discussion, everyone agreed that it was best not to let the students know the truth, as it was too shocking. Not only might no one believe it, but even if they did, how many could calmly accept that they had been possessed by ghosts?

"Everyone, please rest assured. Leave this to me! Trust the capabilities of the Sanjo family." Sanjo Natsuki confidently said.

At this point, whether to believe her or not didn't matter, as no one else could handle the situation except Sanjo Natsuki.

Even Inoue, who came from the wealthiest family among them, could only manage a regular rich family, and it was impossible for him to cover up such a major incident at the school. The power required was simply too great.

With the black mist from the demon space no longer supplying the school, the black mist and ghostly aura in the campus gradually dissipated.

Without the ghostly aura, the ghosts lost their ability to control humans. Even the students who were still being controlled by ghosts in the campus no longer needed Aoba and the others to exorcise them. As the ghostly aura in the air dissipated, the ghosts naturally left their hosts and found corners to hide and struggle for survival.

Perhaps the campus would have more ghost stories in the future, but these ghosts no longer posed a threat to humans.

With the dissipation of the black mist and ghostly aura, cell phone signals were restored, and Sanjo Natsuki immediately started making calls.

Soon, a large group of people entered the campus of Seikawa Private High School, sending the unconscious students to the hospital under the pretext of gas poisoning, claiming that there had been a gas leak at the school.

Construction teams also began working on the rooftop, quickly repairing it with fast-drying cement.

However, this had nothing to do with Aoba and the others.

So, after the Sanjo family took over the campus, Aoba, Sawayama Fubuki, Ishihara Yuma, Mizuki Yuka, Ito, and Inoue left the school, feeling relieved.

"Ah, it feels so good to stand under a streetlight!" Outside the campus, Ishihara Yuma stretched and said under a bright streetlight.

"Alright, everyone, go home quickly! It's very late." Mizuki Yuka, now back to her authoritative teacher persona, said.

"Ueno-kun, here's your talisman back." Ito took out the talisman Aoba had given him, glanced at it with reluctance, and then handed it to Aoba.

Inoue and Mizuki Yuka also remembered the talismans Aoba had given them, but Ishihara Yuma, who had a natural ability to see spirits, didn't have one. As for Sawayama Fubuki, Aoba had already said that the talisman he gave her was a gift.

"No need, I can see you like it, so I'll give it to you." Aoba waved his hand.

"Really, really?" Ito's voice trembled.

For him, keeping the talisman was like keeping the key to the fantasy world he had always dreamed of, so he was naturally excited.

"Of course, keep it! Everyone, keep yours too!" Aoba said to Inoue and Mizuki Yuka.

Inoue immediately became happy, while Mizuki Yuka, though somewhat reluctant to see ghosts with the talisman, decided to keep it.

"Everyone, it's very late, I'll go first! Goodbye, Mizuki-sensei." Ishihara Yuma said first.

"Okay, Ishihara-kun, be careful on your way home." Mizuki Yuka maintained her teacher's demeanor.

"Then, Aoba-sama, I'll take my leave." Sawayama Fubuki said to Aoba.

"Sure, see you at school tomorrow." Aoba nodded.

Sawayama Fubuki then nodded to everyone and left.

Thus, everyone said their goodbyes, ending this long day and returning home.
