Shiraishi's smile widened, his eyes filled with anticipation.
Aozaki Aoko stormed over, her long red hair dancing wildly in the night wind.
Her eyes burned with the flames of anger, and magical light had already gathered in her hands.
"Shiraishikawa!"
she snapped.
Do you think you can make me submit like this?
Shiraishikawa raised an eyebrow, feigning surprise.
"Oh my, isn't this our lovely Fifth Magician? What, finally decided to stop being a coward?"
"Shut up!"
Aozaki Aoko raised her hand and unleashed a beam of magical energy, shooting it directly at Shiraishikawa's face.
Shiraishikawa easily dodged to the side, the beam of light grazing his cheek and blasting a large crater in the ground behind him.
"You have a really bad temper."
Shiraishikawa clicked his tongue and shook his head.
"However, your awareness is still so ridiculous—you know that using magic can solve the problem, but you are afraid of the consequences."
Isn't this a classic example of a glass cannon? Tough on the outside, but incredibly fragile in reality.
Aozaki Aoko's expression grew even more grim, and the magic power in her hands coalesced once more.
Chapter 467 Secret Collusion
"Take this if you dare!"
"Aozaki Aoko!"
A cold female voice suddenly interrupted.
Everyone turned their heads at the same time, only to see that Aozaki Touko was already standing not far away.
She wore a moss-green coat, looking dashing and spirited, but her eyes were as dark as an abyss.
"Aozaki Touko..."
Aozaki Aoko's voice lowered, but the magic in her hand did not dissipate.
Aozaki Touko didn't respond to her sister immediately, but instead looked at Shiraishi Kawa first.
“That’s not what we agreed on, Shiraishikawa.”
Shiraishikawa shrugged.
"It's just a feeling of excitement at seeing something to hunt. Besides..."
His eyes sharpened.
"Weren't you also observing from the shadows? Why pretend you just arrived?"
Aozaki Touko's eyes held a dangerous glint, but she quickly regained her composure.
She turned to Yuju of Kuonji Temple and nodded slightly.
"It's been a long time, Kuonji Temple's Ayumu."
"Aozaki Orange."
Kuonji Yuju responded coldly.
"Your behavior is despicable."
Aozaki Touko chuckled softly.
"Is that so? I think compared to some people who secretly collude with outsiders, my actions are quite aboveboard."
Kuonji Yuzu's face darkened, but before she could retort, Aozaki Touko had already turned to Aozaki Aoko.
"Look at you."
Aozaki Touko's voice suddenly turned stern.
"You dare to accept a challenge while wearing a school uniform? Is this your attitude towards fighting?"
Aozaki Aoko straightened her back.
"I will face the enemy in my most authentic form, without needing any fancy attire."
"reality?"
Aozaki Touko sneered.
"Is your idea of 'truth' just sending people to their deaths?"
The air between the sisters froze instantly, and a palpable killing intent flowed between them.
Shiraishikawa watched with great interest, even clapping along.
"Wonderful! So wonderful!"
He said excitedly.
"A showdown between sisters, what a classic scene!"
Aozaki Touko's sharp gaze turned to him.
"Shut up, or I won't hesitate to deal with you first."
Shiraishikawa made an exaggerated surrender gesture.
"Don't get me wrong, I'm just watching. You guys continue, continue."
Aozaki Touko suppressed her anger.
She knew now was not the time to get entangled with Shiraishi Chuan.
She looked at Aozaki Aoko again, her tone softening slightly.
"Come with me."
"Why?"
Aozaki Aoko stubbornly retorted.
"Because I'm your older sister."
Aozaki Touko's voice was beyond question.
"Besides, do you really want to settle our score in front of Kuonji Aratsu and Shiraishikawa?"
Aozaki Aoko subconsciously looked at Kuonji Yuju, her eyes filled with anticipation.
Kuonji Yuju simply looked back at her calmly.
"This is your own decision, Aozaki Aoko."
Kuonji Yuju paused for a moment, then added.
"If you die, I will hold a funeral for you."
Aozaki Aoko's expression instantly became complex, a mixture of anger and hurt. Finally, she let out a cold snort.
"Okay, I'll go with you. But don't think that will solve the problem."
Aozaki Touko did not respond, but simply turned and walked away.
Aozaki Aoko hesitated for a moment, but ultimately followed.
Shiraishikawa watched the two sisters' departing figures and whistled.
"What a touching display of sisterly affection."
Kuonji Yuju gave him a cold glance.
"you are happy?"
"Of course!"
Shiraishikawa made no attempt to hide his delight.
"This kind of drama isn't something you see every day."
Kuonji Yuju was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked.
"What agreement do you have with Aozaki Touko?"
Shiraishi's smile became mysterious.
"Well... that's a secret."
Aren't you afraid she'll cause you trouble?
"trouble?"
Shiraishikawa burst into laughter.
"I'm really looking forward to it. To be honest, I'm really torn right now—"
He turned to Kuonji Yuju, his eyes filled with malice.
"After Aozaki Touko fails, should I comfort her or mock her incompetence?"
Upon hearing this, Kuonji Yuju involuntarily took a half step back.
She suddenly realized that the man in front of her was far more dangerous than she had imagined.
It wasn't because of his immense power, but because of the twisted pleasure he experienced.
"It's a good thing you're not my partner."
Kuonji Yuju said in a low voice, her voice trembling almost imperceptibly.
Upon hearing this, Shiraishichuan laughed even more heartily.
"Yes, thank goodness it wasn't. Otherwise, you'd be worrying every night about whether I'd turn you into a statue in your sleep."
Chapter 468 Regret
A biting wind howled past, and Kuonji Yuju instinctively hugged her arms tightly.
