Nobody expected that this seemingly ordinary ball would change in such a way.
Everyone fell silent after Summer Night missed the ball and it landed on the ground.
What just happened?
The Grand Mistress had a confused expression on her face. Her teammates were confused as well. The opposing team, including the girl who was serving the ball, all found it strange as question marks popped up above their heads.
The spectators were the same. That ball had been deflected in such a strange way that it seemed as if an invisible hand had suddenly slapped it. Everyone could see it clearly.
The volleyball court was in the gymnasium, so it couldn't have been caused by the wind.
Something invisible had affected that ball … everyone couldn't help but think that.
The referee, who was also confused, returned to his senses and decided to let the match continue.
"I thought that ball was really strange. What do you think?" someone in the crowd couldn't help but ask his companion.
"I thought it was strange as well … Did we meet a ghost?"
"It's still daytime."
"Or it could be the superpower of the senpai who was serving the ball just now!"
"It doesn't seem like it."
"Or maybe it wasn't the senpai who served the ball, but her teammate, or one of the spectators."
"Stop joking."
Seiji silently cast [Astral Vision] on the spectators as they discussed amongst themselves.
He carefully observed the yellow-haired girl who was serving the ball and didn't notice anything amiss.
He then observed the other players on the opposing team, but didn't notice anything amiss.
Then, he secretly observed the spectators again … but even when the free time was over and he was forced to leave, Seiji still couldn't tell who the Awakened was, nor did he see the ball deviate in any abnormal direction.
This was an Awakened who was extremely stealthy. Did she just impulsively use her ability in front of everyone …?
If that was the case, then forget it. There was no need to forcefully find out who she was.
But if that wasn't the case … could it be a test? Something flashed in Seiji's eyes.
…
Year 1 Class 5's second match was against Year 3 Class 1.
Although it was unlucky for the first-years to have two matches against the third-years, Year 1 Class 5 was obviously an exception.
"I'm delighted to be able to compete against you!"
The football club captain, Daiki Takasugi, was a tall and sturdy Senpai who resembled a bear. He looked at Seiji with a burning gaze.
"Let's give it our all and have an exciting match! If our team wins, you have to join the football department!! "
"Please allow me to refuse." Seiji smiled bitterly.
"It's such a waste that you haven't joined any clubs yet! As a young man, if you don't make use of your precious high school years to show off your passion, you'll definitely regret it in the future!! "
"I'm already hot-blooded outside the school. Senior, you don't have to worry."
"Is that so … That's good. An extraordinary person like you shouldn't waste his time. Throw yourself into the things you're passionate about and leave behind the best memories of your youth! "
Seiji could only smile at Takasugi, who was still so hot-blooded even though he was about to graduate.
The match began.
Seiji received the ball and soon saw Oogi Takasugi coming to intercept him. The latter was as ferocious as a brown bear pouncing on its prey.
In terms of football skills, Seiji was not as good as the head of the football department, but he was far faster and more flexible than the latter, and he swung past him in an instant.
Seiji dribbled the ball past Takasugi and rushed into the back half of the opposing team. Seiji checked the angle and took a long shot!
The ball flew at high speed towards the top left corner of the goal and passed the goalkeeper who attempted to block it. Just as it was about to fly into the net … it suddenly made a strange turn and bounced off the goalpost!
Everyone was rendered speechless.
'It's happening again.' Seiji furrowed his eyebrows slightly.
He cast [Astral Vision] again, but he was still unable to see anything.
'After Summer Night, it's me … Was this really a test?
This hidden Awakened was using such an action to test whether or not a Spiritual Ability user would notice him? '
Just like the volleyball match, everyone who saw the ball suddenly turn felt that it was quite strange. The spectators began discussing amongst themselves.
Could it be that the Magic-Devouring Dragon was so powerful that it attracted something invisible?
Many students felt that this was highly possible!
Who in the entire Yuen Hwa Secondary School would believe that Seigo Harano was just an ordinary person?
This guy was too strong! If such a person was only an ordinary person, then what were the others? People with low Spiritual Abilities?
Why was Harano Seigo so powerful? Just what type of person was he?
Mercenaries, special forces soldiers, underground assassins, Spiritual Ability users … all sorts of guesses had already been made.
And now, everyone witnessed a crucial scene!
The ball that was obviously about to enter the net suddenly made an unnatural turn, as if it had been disturbed by an invisible force!
This was an abnormal phenomenon witnessed by a group of people.
Harano Seigo had "caused" an abnormal phenomenon.
Harano Seigo was an abnormal phenomenon to begin with.
Harano Seigo was actually a Spiritual Ability user!
Harano Seigo was actually the Magic-Devouring Dragon … he was the human form of a powerful demon!
Harano Seigo didn't join any clubs because he wanted to keep a low profile. He didn't want to attract too much attention to himself!
Harano Seigo was actually a Spiritual Ability user with a powerful demon sealed within his body! It was difficult for him to completely control his own demonic powers, which was why he performed extraordinarily well! He would even attract evil demons, which was why he would take time off from school every now and then in order to slay demons!!
It was as if a fire had been lit on a grassy plain, and the flames rapidly spread. The fact that Harano Seigo was actually an abnormal existence rapidly spread with many guesses and reports from witnesses …
More and more students came to watch this match. They wanted to personally witness the abnormal phenomenon and the Magic-Devouring Dragon that everyone now believed to be the "real deal"!
The reason why the Grand Mistress's volleyball match hadn't caused such a commotion was because Summer Night's performance at school had always been within the range of what ordinary people could understand.
And Seiji's performance was far too abnormal, to the point where there was a clear abnormal phenomenon that caused such a commotion.
If there was another scene of the football bending strangely, his abnormal identity would be completely confirmed by the masses, and it would be set in stone.
In the court, Seiji maintained [Astral Vision] as he silently observed.
He noticed that there were more and more spectators, and he could feel their gazes on him. After some thought, he realized what was going on.
He was indeed a Spiritual Ability user, and the students believed that he was an abnormal existence. This basically meant that his identity had been exposed.
How should he deal with such a situation?
He didn't know … if things went south, would he have to quit school?
Could this be the true goal of the hidden Awakened using their powers in front of everyone? Did they want to "expose" him?
If that was the case, wouldn't using his powers in front of Summer Night be an unnecessary action?
He didn't know … Seiji could only focus on the soccer match at hand.
No matter what would happen in the future, he would at least help his class win.
…
Daiki Takasugi's Year 3 Class 1's soccer team was stronger than Year 3 Class 5's team.
However, the final result was still Year 1 Class 5's victory. It was just that the score difference wasn't that great.
"This was an exciting match. Harano -san, continue to be hot-blooded and enjoy your youth! "Takasugi concluded.
"I will. Thank you, Senpai," Seiji responded.
He then looked towards the countless spectators.
