Although Kaguya Shinomiya was a little displeased by the smile in Yotsuya Miko's eyes, she did not expose her or show a sharp attitude towards Yotsuya Miko.
Instead, a hint of envy flashed in her gem-like red eyes: 'If only I had such an ability, I could understand Su Rui even better…'
Meanwhile, after leaving the Student Council, Su Rui quickly used wings made of golden flames to fly to a high point near the barrier, surveying the entire Shuchiin Academy below.
Even ordinary people, despite lacking spiritual power, appear different in the eyes of those who possess it; individuals with stronger life force emit a warmer glow, making them more resilient against the incursions of vengeful spirits.
Su Rui scanned the campus with his spiritual power and found a few students who were still awake.
They were aimlessly wandering the campus, searching for a way to escape, but when they reached the campus gate, they found they couldn't get out no matter what.
Even though the police officers outside held pistols and were only separated by a thin, transparent black barrier, the people outside couldn't see them.
Su Rui subconsciously began to observe the girls attempting to escape at the campus gate; since someone had created this barrier, the person behind it would surely react if anyone tried to escape.
Thus, under Su Rui's close observation, the girls who were hitting the barrier gradually lost their strength, slowly fell, and then, like the other students Su Rui had seen fall before, fainted on the ground.
What puzzled Su Rui was that the person behind it seemed to have no intention of harming their lives; once they fainted, their life force would no longer drain away.
However, during the process of the girls fainting, Su Rui also noticed something amiss: when the girls touched the barrier, tiny tentacles would emerge from it, drawing life force from their bodies until they fainted.
Although the barriers had not reacted when he rushed in earlier, now might be an opportunity to lure out the person behind them.
Noticing that the girls were about to faint, Su Rui quickly descended, his longsword burning with golden flames; as he descended, he plunged it into the barrier, continuously tearing open the barrier of resentful energy as he moved downwards.
The golden flames cut through the barrier they touched like a hot knife through butter. Su Rui quickly landed on the ground, vigilantly awaiting the appearance of the mastermind.
However, he did not wait for any action from the so-called "mastermind"; instead, he heard exclamations from outside the barrier. A short-haired, flaxen-haired policewoman gasped in surprise as she saw Su Rui's golden sword blade pierce through the barrier, and she aimed her pistol at Su Rui's position.
Her pistol could not penetrate this barrier, nor could it harm Su Rui.
After casually glancing at the somewhat flustered policewoman outside, Su Rui was about to change positions to continue breaking the barrier and try to lure out the mastermind when he heard a clear girl's voice from behind him:
"Hey, who are you?! Why are you here?"
Is there still someone who hasn't fainted? Su Rui turned his head in confusion and saw a girl with white hime-cut short hair, gray-blue eyes, and wearing a school uniform, standing with her hands on her hips, looking at him with an arrogant expression.
"…" Su Rui had no interest in playing games with an arrogant young lady. He gently raised the longsword burning with golden flames in his hand and placed it next to the girl's cheek, scaring her so much that her eyes widened instantly, her legs weakened, and she looked at him tremblingly:
"You, what do you want to do? I warn you, my family is…"
"I don't care what your family is. Listen, if I were here to kill you, you'd already be dead, understand? Now, if you can still move, go to the Student Council before you faint. You'll be safer there."
Su Rui didn't bother to argue with the girl in front of him, who was on the verge of being killed by his sword blade yet still had the audacity to show off. Impatiently, he grabbed her hair, pressed her head, and forced her to look into his black eyes, which burned with golden flames.
The girl in front of him was clearly terrified, staring blankly at Su Rui's face, unable to speak for a long time.
Su Rui frowned impatiently: "Did you understand?"
"Y-yes, I understood."
The white-haired girl nodded timidly. Su Rui then released her hair and gently patted her shoulder, injecting warm spiritual power into her body. This would allow her to find the Student Council before she fainted, assuming the "mastermind" didn't target her.
Ignoring the girl's gaze, Su Rui turned and walked to the other side of the campus after releasing her, cutting through the resentful energy barrier with the golden flame-burning blade in his hand while searching for anything unusual.
The campus wall was easily cut open by Su Rui's spiritual power-infused sword blade. The golden flames effortlessly melted the metal fence and concrete pillars, causing them to either collapse inside the campus or fall outside, drawing the attention of the police officers.
In any case, Shuchiin Academy was not short on money; to save the students inside, these were necessary expenses.
Halfway through his walk, Su Rui suddenly heard the voice of the white-haired girl behind him:
"Hey, my name is Longzhu Tao. Thank you for saving me!"
Su Rui leaned back, tilted his head to glance at the girl who had greeted him, and nodded, not paying much attention, then turned back to continue exploring the campus enveloped by the resentful energy barrier.
Longzhu Tao, seeing Su Rui's somewhat cold reaction, muttered unhappily, "At least tell me your name~"
Stomping her foot in displeasure, the girl turned and walked towards the Student Council that Su Rui had mentioned. As she walked, she recalled Su Rui's descent from the sky, the wings made of golden flames behind him, and his shining eyes.
Longzhu Tao couldn't help but clutch her chest, her cheeks subconsciously flushing red:
"He's so handsome."
Then, Longzhu Tao looked around as if she had a guilty conscience. Noticing that Su Rui wasn't looking this way, she quickly picked up her pace and ran towards the Student Council.
Along the way, thanks to the spiritual power Su Rui had injected into her, Longzhu Tao encountered no danger and felt no drowsiness. However, upon reaching the Student Council entrance, she impatiently pushed open the large door, startling the girls inside, who nervously grabbed whatever they could use as weapons.
Longzhu Tao, standing at the doorway, panting from running, and Kaguya Shinomiya and the others inside the Student Council exchanged glances, both sides feeling a bit nervous.
