177 Seven School Mysteries part The group from the occult club decided to make preparations for their investigation for the next day. As the group left the clubroom Loki once again felt that mysterious presence as if it was looking right at him, but before he could do anything the presence disappeared.

Loki closed his eyes and expanded the range of his mana sensing but he could not find a single trace of the other party.

‘Is there someone in this world who can erase their presence better than me?’

Being hailed as the greatest assassin in his old world as well as an assassin that can supposedly kill Gods and Demons this was the first time he has seen someone he was actively trying to find avoid his detection. Not to mention the way the other party avoided his detection was similar to his strongest stealth skill. Even though he didn’t really care about the praises he got in his old world, deep down he was still proud to be called the strongest assassin and now he found out that there was someone who could hide their presence similar to him, Loki felt something within him heating up. Loki did not notice that at this very moment, he was smiling.

“Mr. Loki aren’t you going to leave yet?” Ichika and Erika looked behind and saw the unmoving Loki.

“Yeah, I’m going.” Loki stared in the direction where he felt the presence and shook his head. The two girls also looked in the direction Loki was staring but they saw nothing suspicious.

“What were you looking at over there?” Ichika asked Loki who in turn looked at her thinking of what to tell her. Many thoughts came to Loki’s mind but only a second passed in the real world before he gave an answer.

“Nothing, I thought someone was looking at me but it’s just my imagination.”

The two girls stared at the leaving Loki with a look of doubt on their faces. Ichika already caught a glimpse of how strong Loki was, even with just recently gaining the inner energy of the fourth rank his skills in battle were better than most martial artists of higher ranks. Erika who also heard of how Loki defeated those kidnappers who were rank five martial artists with one hit each can vaguely guess how strong Loki was.

.....

They didn’t know how strong Loki truly was, but someone as skilled as him sensed something even if it was just a hint of it shouldn’t just be nothing. Loki who was about to leave stopped walking and suddenly asked a question.

“Ichika-san, do you know anything about the Kamizaki Clan?”

When Ichika heard Loki’s question her ever-smiling face turned into a frown, and even Erika became extremely alert when she heard the name of the Kamizaki clan.

“The Kamizaki Clan?... Why are you asking about that Clan?”

Seeing Ichika and Erika’s reaction Loki knew that asking the two was a mistake, but it wasn’t that bad. Loki already had a better understanding of the Kamizaki Clan simply by seeing the reactions on the two girls’ faces.

“It’s nothing I was just a little curious about them.” Loki no longer elaborated any further and simply left the dumbfounded girls behind.

...

“There’s no way that was just a random question.”

Erika spoke her face and tone equally serious. The Kamizaki Clan was not something an ordinary martial artist could possibly know about. Loki and his siblings have just recently been promoted from ordinary people to martial artists, it was indeed weird that their inner energy only formed now but it wasn’t the first time these kinds of delays happened as there have been precedents, but compared to that knowing about the Kamizaki Clan was even weirder.

“My lady, are you sure that we shouldn’t investigate his origins?”

Ichika was also frowning deeply now, the only time Erika would call her Milady is if she felt that there was some kind of threat near her.

“For now, there’s no need for that. What kind of person am I to investigate my own savior without his consent? Also if he really has some connection to the Kamizaki Clan, then sooner or later the truth will come out on its own. I’m not like that kid from the Watanabe Clan always trying to gain more information. Not to mention isn’t it more exciting not knowing about these things and dealing with them as they come.”

When Erika heard Ichika’s reply she could not help but sigh, this was one of Ichika’s less desirable qualities.

“The Kamizaki Clan, things are becoming even more interesting than I initially imagined,” Ichika murmured to herself as she and Erika left the school grounds.

...

At home, Kira suddenly sneezed.

“Huh, am I getting a cold?” Kira was only distracted for a second before he continued reading the reports his subordinates sent him.

“Hoh, lots of interesting things are happening. Alisa actually met that old monster in the forest. I guess I can no longer monitor her as closely as before. If that old man finds out that he’s being watched he might come to the clan and start slaughtering people.”

Kira quickly acted and sent an order to all his subordinates to stop surveillance of Alisa, after doing that he continued reading the reports.

“Becoming the adviser of the Occult Club... Not only was Michael able to get Loki to be his adviser, but he was also capable enough to make the entire Student Council join his club. This Michael is becoming even more interesting than before. The Occult Club, hmm, if I knew earlier I would’ve joined them as well. Not only will I be able to get close to Loki, but I can also associate myself with the princess of the Kurumi Clan.”

Kira sighed as he thought about the missed opportunity.

“So many things started happening after Loki had his accident. It’s like the wheels of destiny started turning from then on. Is this because he’s related to the Kamizaki Clan?...” Kira leaned on his chair as he once again sighed.

...

The following day, the Occult Club gathered in the clubroom during lunchtime. Each member had brought something for this upcoming investigation.

Tsukusa was wearing gloves that were supposedly blessed by a priest of some unknown religion.

Oliver brought a real short sword, it had a silver blade and the handle was a simple wooden design. Normally students from the general studies course would not be allowed to carry weapons unlike those of the martial arts course, but yesterday Oliver already got permission from the Student Council President.

Cho Ha-Eun brought small bottles filled with salt. She brought a lot since she read that salt had some purifying effects on supernatural beings. Of course, she had other weapons hidden in various places.

Edward also brought bottles of salt and not only that he also had some holy water which was made by a bishop of a very famous religion. He even brought some wooden stakes as this was the weapon used against the famous dark creature known as a vampire.

Erika as the guard/best friend of Ichika even if she doesn’t fully believe in these supernatural things still came prepared just in case. She brought several silver daggers hidden in her clothes, a few bottles of salt, and holy water, she even memorized exorcising spells she read from some books.

Ichika also brought the exact same equipment as Erika.

Every member of the Occult Club those who believed in the supernatural and those who didn’t all brought their own equipment, on the other hand, the President of the Occult Club Michael didn’t bring anything, seeing as the only equipment he needed was the knowledge given to him by the Spirit of the Akashic Records.

Loki who was watching the students checking each other’s equipment couldn’t help but smile as a memory of the past came to him. He remembered back in his old world when he was disguising himself as a senior adventurer, a group of young adventurers who were just about to start their very first adventure. The scene before him was the same as back then, but hopefully, the ending of this group would be much better than the adventure group from back then.

...

“Alright everyone, now that we’re done checking our equipment let’s head to the first mystery that happens during lunchtime. The mystery of the crying in the general studies building second-floor washroom.”

Ichika spoke like she was the club president and the actual club president Michael did not say anything as it was really better if Ichika took the lead on this one.

...

The group from the Occult club headed to the second-floor washroom in the general studies building, but on the way, a group of students followed them respectfully from a distance. Yet once the group from the Occult Club got near the washroom the students simply stood back and didn’t even dare to get near.

Michael was the first to enter the washroom and to his and every other member of the occult club’s surprise they really heard someone crying.

Before Michael could approach the cubicle where the crying was coming from, Oliver grab hold of his shoulder.

“My friend, allow me to go ahead and scout the area.” Oliver took out his sword and slowly approached the cubicle.
