The Strongest Eriri in History

Under Kanoko Hasumi's guidance, the 23 students of Class 1-E crossed the school sports field and arrived at the area where the old school building used to stand.

The dilapidated old school building had been completely removed, replaced by towering iron walls over ten meters high.

This was the sole entrance to the Superpower Zone.

When Eriri and the others arrived, nearly a hundred students had already gathered at the entrance. More students were trickling in from the direction of the main teaching building.

Every female student who caught sight of Eriri blushed and greeted her respectfully, even the senior students.

For some reason, intentional or not, Eriri and her group seemed to be surrounded by a circle of female students, effectively blocking any male students from approaching and trying to interact with her.

"Eriri~"

At that moment, a cute voice called out from behind Eriri and her group.

Eriri turned around to see Yuzuru Hanyu and Yukino rushing toward them.

Since they had already agreed at lunch to stay at school, Yuzuru and Yukino hadn't returned to the villa on their own.

"Yuzuru-chan, Yukino," Eriri greeted them with a smile, waving at the pair.

Before long, Yuzuru and Yukino broke away from their respective class groups and joined Eriri and her friends.

A few moments later, the tall and elegant Utaha Kasumigaoka approached Eriri's group with light steps.

Since the superpower course was not divided by class or grade, and teachers who had not awakened superpowers couldn't enter the Superpower Zone, homeroom teachers only needed to escort their students to the entrance before leaving.

Even so, most students naturally stuck with classmates they were familiar with.

By 1:15 PM, all the superpowered students from the school had gathered at the entrance to the Superpower Zone. In addition to these students, quite a few ordinary students had gathered nearby to watch.

At that moment, two women who appeared to be in their early twenties emerged at the entrance.

The two women scanned the crowd, and when they spotted Eriri, their eyes lit up with fervent devotion. They immediately bowed deeply toward her.

The students standing at the front were taken aback, surprised to see two clearly formidable individuals bowing to someone in the crowd.

When they turned to see whom the women were bowing toward and spotted Eriri, their confusion vanished.

These two women were among the Lv.10 superpowered individuals Eriri had cultivated for the Sawamura Conglomerate. They were completely loyal to her and served as instructors for the superpower course.

Inside the Superpower Zone, eight more Lv.10 superpowered women awaited, making a total of ten instructors.

None of these women were older than 30; the youngest were barely in their twenties. They all shared a common trait: they were strikingly beautiful.

Although these ten Lv.10 superpowered individuals were nothing extraordinary within the Sawamura Conglomerate, they were enough to cause an upheaval in the outside world.

The mere news that the superpower course at Yumenosaki Academy was being taught by ten Lv.10 superpowered instructors would undoubtedly send shockwaves through society.

In truth, the establishment of the Superpower Zone and the launch of the superpower course brought no tangible benefits to the Sawamura Conglomerate. The entire endeavor had been undertaken simply because Eriri was intrigued by the idea.

After the two women finished bowing to Eriri, they opened the gate to the Superpower Zone.

However, what lay beyond the gate was not the interior of the zone, but a faintly glowing white barrier.

Seeing this, the students at the entrance exchanged puzzled glances.

Perhaps sensing the students' confusion, one of the two women standing at the entrance—a silver-haired woman with extremely long hair—stepped forward.

She addressed the students loudly, "Passing through this barrier will allow you to enter the Superpower Zone. Only those who have awakened superpowers can pass through it. So, if you're an ordinary student thinking of sneaking in, you'd better give up now."

After finishing her explanation, she and the other woman, who had her hair tied in a low ponytail, stepped aside to clear the entrance.

"Alright, you can now begin entering the Superpower Zone. The other instructors are already waiting for you inside," the silver-haired woman added.

As her words fell, two female students at the front of the group exchanged glances, their faces filled with determination, before walking toward the glowing white barrier.

Although they didn't know what awaited them beyond the barrier, they trusted that the Sawamura Conglomerate wouldn't harm ordinary students.

More importantly, as members of the Eriri Fan Club, they believed their "Onee-sama" would never lead them astray!

Without hesitation, the two passed through the barrier and entered the Superpower Zone.

With these two leading the way, the rest of the students began filing in one after another.

Perhaps the silver-haired woman's earlier warning had worked, or maybe the ordinary students realized they wouldn't gain anything by sneaking in. Whatever the reason, not a single unqualified student attempted to cross the barrier as the superpowered students and teachers entered.

Eriri and her group were among the last to enter, walking alongside the two women.

Watching the superpowered students disappear beyond the barrier, the ordinary students standing outside wore expressions of envy, wishing they could take their place.

...

Though the Superpower Zone's exterior seemed small—occupying only the area of the old school building—the interior was massive, spanning several tens of thousands of square meters. Clearly, spatial manipulation abilities had been utilized in its construction.

At the very center of the zone was a classroom for superpower theory lessons. It wasn't very large, just slightly bigger than Yumenosaki Academy's chapel.

The left side of the zone housed the superpower testing and development area, which occupied the largest portion of the Superpower Zone, taking up about two-thirds of its total area.

The right side of the zone was designated for superpower combat practice. Though smaller than the testing area, it was expected to become one of the most frequently used sections in the future.

Upon entering the Superpower Zone, all the superpowered students were guided by eight of the Lv.10 instructors waiting for them. They were led to the central classroom.

Currently, the total number of students across all three grade levels at Yumenosaki Academy who had awakened superpowers was fewer than 150. Even with everyone seated, they filled only one-fifth of the available seats, leaving the classroom feeling rather spacious.

Naturally, Eriri sat in the center of the classroom, surrounded by her close friends—Arifureta, Shea, Megumi, and the others. Encircling them were members of the Eriri Fan Club, while the male students were relegated to the outermost rows.

As the theory class began, the instructor stepped onto the podium. She was a striking woman with long, slightly wavy black hair, a curvaceous figure, and an intellectual air. She appeared to be in her late twenties.

Upon spotting Eriri at the center of the classroom, her reaction mirrored that of the two women at the Superpower Zone's entrance—she couldn't hide her reverence.

Since this was the first superpower course, the ten instructors were unfamiliar with the students' specific abilities.

Thus, the theory lesson covered only an overview of the types of superpowers and general characteristics of each power level. More detailed topics would be addressed in future classes.

After about half an hour, the students were led by the ten instructors, including the theory lecturer, to the testing and development area to evaluate the specific details of their superpowers.

"Teacher, why are there three hallways here? Which one should we take?" A petite female student asked, staring at the three corridors branching out ahead. Her voice carried the confusion shared by the group, as all eyes turned toward the curly-haired teacher who had just delivered their theory lesson.

The teacher instinctively glanced at Eriri, then turned back to address the students. Slowly and clearly, she began to explain.

"Let me clarify. This is the Superpower Testing and Development Zone, which is divided into three sections: one for females, one for males, and a shared area. You're free to choose whether to test alongside peers of the same gender or in the mixed section."

"Teacher, can I go to the girls-only section to test?" a male student joked, eliciting a wave of laughter and teasing from the group.

The female teachers standing nearby immediately darkened their expressions, the atmosphere growing tense. The curly-haired teacher cast another furtive glance at Eriri, and upon confirming her indifferent expression, turned back to glare daggers at the boy.

"No. You. May. Not!" she enunciated each word sharply. Sparks of electricity began to crackle around her as she added threateningly, "If you're tired of being a boy, I wouldn't mind helping you remove some unnecessary parts."

The boy's face turned pale, his earlier bravado instantly evaporating. He covered a certain area of his body protectively, stammering, "N-no need! I'm sorry, I was just joking."

The other students immediately straightened up, their earlier amusement replaced by an atmosphere of caution.

It became glaringly clear that the superpower course wasn't an ordinary class, and these instructors weren't just any teachers—they were powerful superhumans from the Sawamura Conglomerate. Testing the boundaries with them would undoubtedly lead to harsh consequences.

In truth, dividing the testing zones wasn't strictly necessary. The arrangement was a result of Eriri's specific instructions.

Breaking the tension, Eriri, who had been silently observing, finally spoke up. Her calm voice cut through the heavy atmosphere.

"Alright, let's end this matter here. Now, everyone, head to the section you prefer for your superpower testing."

"Yes, Miss Eriri," the ten female instructors responded immediately, their stern expressions softening as they respectfully acknowledged her.

The students were once again awed by this display of reverence, further cementing their understanding of Eriri's extraordinary status.

With her companions Arifureta, Shea, and the others in tow, Eriri led the way into the girls-only testing area. Following her lead, the female students—without exception—trailed after her into the same section, leaving the male students behind to reluctantly shuffle into the shared testing area. This was their last act of defiance.

...

"I wonder what level Onee-sama's superpower is at. I'm so curious," one girl in the group whispered.

"She must be at least Lv.5, right?" another guessed.

"No way! I heard the Sawamura Conglomerate has plenty of Lv.10s. As their heiress, Sister Eriri is probably Lv.10 too."

"You all lack vision. I'd bet Onee-sama has transcended the superpower ranking system entirely. She could easily be Lv.11, Lv.12, or even Lv.20."

"Hmm… that makes sense."

"Enough said—Onee-sama is the best!"

"..."

At the back of the group entering the girls-only section, a few female students engaged in a lively discussion about Eriri's abilities. It didn't take long for the conversation to devolve into enthusiastic fawning.

The next portion of the session began with the female instructors organizing the students for various superpower attribute tests. Each test was meticulously recorded by the instructors.

Five students were tested simultaneously, ensuring the process moved quickly.

Most of the students were newly awakened superhumans, with a small number having reached Lv.2. The strongest among them was on the verge of breaking into Lv.3—a threshold that placed her well above her peers.

That student was none other than the president of Yumenosaki Academy's Student Council and one of the founding members of the Eriri Fan Club.

When Kiyo Ishimaki and Satomi Azusa displayed their Lv.5 abilities during the tests, it left all the students, except for Eriri and her group, utterly stunned.

However, the five female instructors showed no signs of surprise. They were well aware that Kiyo Ishimaki and Satomi Azusa were close friends of their young mistress. It wasn't unusual for them to have Lv.5 abilities; even if they suddenly became Lv.10 the next day, it wouldn't shock the instructors.

"Ishimaki-san, Satomi-san, when did you awaken your superpowers? To already be at Lv.5, that's amazing!" A fellow female student from Class 1-E, who had a good relationship with them, exclaimed in surprise.

"It hasn't been long, really. We owe it all to Eriri's help. Without her, I'd probably still be stuck at Lv.1," Kiyo Ishimaki replied, somewhat bashfully.

Previously, Kiyo Ishimaki and Satomi Azusa had asked Eriri how they should respond if questioned about their abilities. Eriri had told them they didn't need to hide anything and could answer however they liked.

Eriri had no interest in hiding her capabilities or playing coy. She wouldn't mind if the global media announced, "Sawamura Conglomerate heiress Eriri Spencer Sawamura can instantly elevate a Lv.1 superpower user to a top-tier Lv.10 powerhouse." Eriri would simply shrug it off.

After all, she was invincible. What was there to worry about?

If anyone dared to target her, they'd likely be dealt with by the Sawamura Conglomerate before they even got close. Not only that, but any backing forces would also be thoroughly eradicated, leaving no trace behind.

"That makes sense. As expected of Onee-sama," the female student said with a tone of admiration, her expression filled with envy toward Kiyo Ishimaki and Satomi Azusa. She envied not only their ability to receive Eriri's help but also their privilege of being her close friends.

Other girls who overheard the conversation felt similarly envious.

Later, when Yuzuru Hanyu stepped up for her test, she demonstrated an Lv.10 level of strength, stunning everyone into silence.

Who would have thought that such a petite and delicate-looking girl could possess the raw power to destroy an entire nation?

Still, considering Yuzuru's close relationship with Eriri, the students quickly came to terms with it.

When constructing the Superpower Zone, Eriri had not only expanded the internal space but also set up protective barriers. The walls, testing equipment, and combat areas within the zone were all fortified to withstand attacks from anyone below Level 5.

Even when Yuzuru unleashed her full strength during the test, it caused no damage to the testing area.

Seeing Yuzuru's immense power only heightened the students' curiosity about the abilities of Arifureta and the others. But most of all, they were intrigued by Eriri's own strength.

However, by the time the superpower tests concluded, none of them had any answers. Neither Eriri nor her companions participated in the tests.

Eriri had only come to the zone for fun and spent the entire course as a spectator.

Although the students were disappointed not to witness Eriri's abilities firsthand, there wasn't much they could do about it. It wasn't as if they could approach Eriri and demand she demonstrate her strength.

In reality, their assumptions were off the mark. If any of them had the courage to ask Eriri directly, she wouldn't have hidden anything. She would have openly revealed her capabilities without hesitation.
