Starting With The Sefirah Castle In The Anime World

"Hmm…"

Fujiwara furrowed her brows, lost in thought.

Something about this still didn't sit right with her.

"Kaguya, I feel like there's another reason you transferred schools."

"You say it was to avoid the President because he was a hassle…"

"And I get that."

"But that other reason you mentioned… Hmm~ I don't quite understand it."

"Still, I feel like whatever you're hiding is connected to that reason I don't understand."

Kaguya fell silent.

This woman's intuition was too sharp.

Even when she deliberately hid something, Fujiwara could still sense that something was off.

"Miss Kaguya, it seems you won't be able to keep it from her."

Hayasaka's voice was laced with amusement.

"Hayasaka…"

"You can't keep dodging this forever."

Kaguya frowned in frustration but had to admit Hayasaka had a point.

"If Miss Fujiwara decides to investigate, she'll find out eventually."

"After all, Sanzenin and Saginomiya transferred schools at the same time as you."

"No matter how much you try to hide it, that's something you can't cover up."

Kaguya let out a sigh.

She was right.

Her reasoning for transferring was flimsy at best.

But what about Sanzenin Nagi and Saginomiya Isumi?

There was no way to explain their transfers away so easily.

"Yeah… it's impossible to keep it hidden completely."

"Exactly."

"Rather than waste energy trying to hide things from Miss Fujiwara, why not just tell her the truth, like Miss Sanzenin did?"

Hayasaka's suggestion made Kaguya hesitate.

But after a moment of deliberation, she relented.

If Fujiwara decided to dig into this, she'd eventually start asking questions about Amamiya.

And knowing how unpredictable she was, she'd probably go straight to him for answers.

"Ah…"

Kaguya sighed again.

She had wanted to keep this a secret.

But in the end, it was impossible.

"Alright, Fujiwara. I'll show you something."

"This isn't something we can discuss here. Come with me."

"Oh?"

Fujiwara's curiosity burned even stronger as she eagerly followed Kaguya.

Kaguya led her to the mansion's indoor swimming pool.

She didn't say a word as she walked forward.

"Kaguya chan…?"

Fujiwara tilted her head, confused.

"Miss Fujiwara, just watch."

Kaguya took another step forward, onto the water's surface.

But instead of sinking, the water beneath her began to freeze solid.

"!?"

Fujiwara's eyes went wide.

"Magic!?"

She ran forward, placing her hand on the unfrozen part of the water.

It felt normal.

The temperature wasn't particularly low, and nothing seemed unnatural about it.

But when she turned back—

The water beneath Kaguya's feet had completely frozen over.

This wasn't a trick.

It wasn't stage magic or an illusion.

It was as if the water had been exposed to extreme cold in an instant.

"Fujiwara, raise your hand."

Fujiwara did as she was told, lifting her hand out of the water.

"Zizizi!"

A chilling aura burst forth, spreading from Kaguya and engulfing the entire swimming pool.

In mere seconds, the entire pool had frozen solid.

Fujiwara stood there, completely stunned.

"T-This… this is…"

This wasn't a magic trick.

There was no way magic could produce something this real.

The biting cold sent shivers down her spine.

As she looked at Kaguya standing atop the ice, she finally understood.

"This is… a superpower!?"

Rather than fear, excitement filled Fujiwara's voice.

Her reaction was completely different from what a normal person would have.

"Hey~"

Stepping onto the ice, Fujiwara carefully tested her footing.

The ice was thick, solid enough to support her weight without issue.

She had just touched the liquid water a few seconds ago…

And yet, now it had turned into a frozen surface strong enough to walk on.

"This is amazing~"

Fujiwara's eyes sparkled with fascination.

"Kaguya's superpower can freeze an entire swimming pool in seconds!"

Then, she turned back toward Kaguya.

"So… is this the real reason you transferred to Teitan High School?"

She tapped her chin, thinking hard.

"Hmm… Kaguya never had a power like this before."

"And it's weird that Sanzenin suddenly started helping her."

"But if Sanzenin and Kaguya are connected by this, then it makes sense."

Fujiwara's mind worked quickly, piecing together the clues.

Sanzenin Nagi…

Saginomiya Isumi…

And now Kaguya had superpowers.

All of them transferred schools at the same time.

That couldn't be a coincidence.

"If Kaguya's transfer is related to the sudden appearance of her superpowers…"

"…then that means the school itself is connected to this."

"Or rather—"

Fujiwara's eyes lit up with realization.

"There's someone at Teitan High School who's responsible for this, isn't there!?"

"Probably a single person!"

"And… that person is most likely a boy!"

Kaguya and Hayasaka exchanged glances.

They hadn't expected Fujiwara to figure it out so quickly.

Fujiwara caught Kaguya's expression and grinned knowingly.

"I got it right, didn't I?"

This must have been another reason Kaguya rejected the President.

Well… the President was really pitiful.

But if someone could grant Kaguya superpowers, then…

Shirogane Miyuki never stood a chance.

"Oh well~"

Fujiwara quickly moved on from feeling bad for the President.

There was something far more interesting right now.

"Kaguya, I want to transfer too!"

Kaguya blinked.

"…What?"

Fujiwara crossed her arms and nodded confidently.

"I wanna go to Teitan High School too!"

"On one hand, it's for my friend—"

"But on the other… I'm way too curious to just let this go!"

Kaguya sighed.

"Fujiwara, this is your own decision."

"But there are some things I need to explain to you first."

Fujiwara nodded eagerly.

Kaguya didn't hold back.

She began explaining the details about the diary.

Fujiwara listened intently.

"Ohhhhh~"

Her eyes sparkled even more.

"So even normal people… as long as they get that diary… they can awaken superpowers too!?"

"This is so cool!"

Fujiwara had made up her mind.

She was definitely transferring.

There was no way she was missing out on something this exciting!
