Meanwhile, at Sobu High School.
Everything was very peaceful. However, in the eyes of Yukino, the calm campus was anything but peaceful. Her current appearance was exactly like Miko's in the original series, with thick dark circles under her eyes.
At this moment, she was suppressing her fear and urge to urinate, maintaining her unchanging expression, and walking quickly towards Shizuka's office.
In her eyes, countless evil spirits were spread throughout the school. As for when she started seeing them, that would be the day after she was saved by Hiratsuka-sensei and a boy.
No one wants to wake up in the morning to an evil spirit in their blanket, or see an evil spirit in the mirror while washing up, and even going to the restroom was a bit scary.
Now she was on her way to Shizuka's office. After all, her office was the only place in the entire school that could be considered a sanctuary.
Soon, Yukino arrived at the office door, knocked, and then pushed it open.
A teacher, seeing her enter, asked with concern, "It's Yukinoshita-san. Is there something you need?"
But at this moment, Yukino didn't dare to breathe.
What... what is all this?!
Several large evil spirits were seen wrapped around the teacher, and as Yukino entered, their gazes shifted to her.
"You can see? You can see?"
Yukino was filled with terror, but outwardly, she remained unmoving, walking straight in and asking, "Um... is Hiratsuka-sensei here?"
"Hiratsuka-sensei, you say?"
The teacher thought for a moment and continued, "She took a long leave recently. It seems she had something to attend to, so she won't be coming to school for quite some time."
Listening to the teacher's words, Yukino felt her world collapse, her only savior was gone. If only she had known, she would have asked for that boy's contact information no matter what. She wouldn't be in such a predicament now.
Yukino suppressed her inner fear and asked again, "Then do you know where Hiratsuka-sensei went?"
The teacher shook his head. "Not really. She didn't say her exact destination."
Yukino looked at the increasingly close evil spirits. She felt that ever since she saw the cat yokai, she had become increasingly unlucky.
Not getting the answer she wanted, Yukino thanked the teacher and quickly left.
After she left, the evil spirits gathered around the teacher again, muttering incessantly, "Can you see? Can you see?"
Yukino walked very fast, and soon she arrived at her clubroom. Pushing the door open, she walked inside. Ignoring the evil spirits, she sat down in her seat.
At least... there weren't many evil spirits here.
Yukino sat in her seat, outwardly calm, but inwardly flustered.
The evil spirits' muttering still seemed to echo in her ears, and Hiratsuka-sensei, the only one who could help her, was nowhere to be found.
What should she do now?
Just as she was at a loss, she thought of something.
Kuoh Academy!
That's right, she remembered the school uniform the boy wore.
Yukino's eyes lit up. Since she knew the school he attended, she might be able to find him there. But she still needed to find out where Kuoh Academy was.
No sooner said than done, Yukino packed her things, quickly got up, left the club, and headed home.
At the same time, with a conflicted heart, she called her sister and asked her to help her find out where Kuoh Academy was.
While Yukino was looking for information, Abel, far away in Kuoh Town, suddenly sneezed.
He wiped his nose and muttered to himself, "Strange, how could I sneeze?"
He was a devil, so these minor human ailments shouldn't affect him.
Could it be... someone is thinking of me?
Ah... it must be my beloved Peerage missing me. I hope everyone can endure under Ajuka's devilish training.
Then Abel began to busy himself with real business, which was to hand-make the Emperor Armor.
Returning to his house, he greeted Grayfia and the others and then entered his room.
"What's Abel in such a hurry for?"
"I don't know, but Master must have his own considerations. We just need to follow orders."
"Mm, exactly."
Grayfia and the two others said, while Gabriel watched a soap opera nearby.
Inside the room.
Abel raised his right hand.
Innovate Clear!
A blue terminal appeared in his hand.
So next is...
Creation!
In an instant, Abel entered the alternate world opened by Innovate Clear. This was his second time entering it. Unlike his previous entry, this alternate world was now beginning to burst with vitality.
He concentrated, beginning to construct the Emperor Armor according to the image in his memory.
As Abel imagined, a blurry armor appeared, gradually solidifying with his imagination, and the armor's form slowly emerged.
Dragon body, eagle arms, tiger shoulders, mastiff back, rhino legs.
The originally colorless armor gradually gained color, with gold as the main color accented with silver.
Abel felt the surging power within his body, moved his limbs, and heard a crackling sound. Then he began to switch weapons.
Aurora Sword, Aurora Shield, Emperor Halberd and then the Emperor Steed and the Light Emperor Battle Dragon.
"This feels great!"
Abel excitedly swung his fists, the wind whistling.
So next is to convert it to reality.
Telos Karma!
A pitch-black terminal appeared in his hand, and Abel performed some operations.
Materialize!
Abel felt his demonic power rapidly draining from his body.
"Wha... what the f***!"
His demonic power was constantly consumed and replenished, and finally...
Boom!
The armor on his body exploded.
Abel exhaled a puff of black smoke, perplexed.
After a moment's thought, he realized he didn't have the Five Elements bloodline. Damn it, he wasted so much demonic power for nothing.
Abel, having figured it out, covered his face.
So... should he accumulate a 100% Five Elements bloodline?
Just as he was about to act, Abel remembered a setting: the Emperor Armor represents the world will. And in this world, he was the world will.
Why would he need the Five Elements bloodline?
