Chapter 364

Rumble!

The dazzling light, accompanied by a gust of wind, swept through the entire classroom the moment the 'golden door' appeared out of thin air. The bookshelf was blown down, and the electric lamp shattered with a bang.

The noise woke up May 7th's Fenxiang, who had been sleeping in the magic circle with her pillow in her arms. She looked at the door floating above her head, dazed.

"Ah?"

Rikka Takanashi and Sanae Dekomori held their arms up to shield themselves from the wind. The situation at this moment left both of them in utter confusion.

The only thoughts in their minds were, 'What just happened?' and 'What am I doing?'

They were just chuunibyou sufferers, imagining things that did not exist. Though they believed in these fantasies, they never imagined they would actually encounter them. When the real thing appears, the chuunibyou courage shatters like glass.

"Ahhhhhhh!"

Yuta Togashi screamed as he watched the golden gate being summoned by the two chuunibyou. After finally trying to rid himself of his chuunibyou phase, the beliefs he had just abandoned suddenly collapsed. No! Is summoning really real?!

Aura, magic, pressure—he could completely feel the supernatural presence, and his legs were trembling.

The golden door now appeared completely, and the dazzling light slowly faded, leaving a soft glow in its place.

"A door? What's going on?"

Fenxiang, startled, quickly moved away from the magic circle.

Yuta's eyes were wide as he pointed a trembling finger at the "sacred" golden door. He looked at Rikka and Sanae, his teeth chattering.

"Could it be that you two… are you… just kidding? Are you really, really magicians?"

At this point, both Rikka and Sanae were stunned, but they snapped back to reality upon hearing Yuta's words. Despite being very scared, Rikka still stubbornly said, "Yes, it is the Evil King's True Eye..."

Sanae's eyes sparkled with enthusiasm, and she crawled in front of Rikka.

"Wow! Master, my master! This is incredible! I can already feel it! It's so powerful! Did we really summon it?!"

Looking up at Rikka, her eyes were filled with stars.

Fenxiang covered her mouth in shock and, out of curiosity, reached out towards the door.

"Senpai!" Yuta quickly shouted.

But May 7th's Fenxiang had already put her hand on the door.

"Wow! It's really floating in mid-air."

She looked to see if anything was holding it up, but there was no rope or trick—just magic.

"There really is magic in the world!" she said, looking at Rikka.

"Rikka, you are really a magician."

Fenxiang had just wanted a club where she could nap, and she hadn't expected magic to follow the fantasy.

Rikka was sweating, her calves shaking, but seeing everyone look at her with admiration, she tried to maintain her role.

"That's right... I, I am the Evil King's True Eye..."

Click!

At that moment, the door to the club classroom opened, and a girl with waist-length brown hair, held by a red hairpin, stepped in.

"Hello, I heard a loud noise here. Did something fall over?"

The words stopped before she finished speaking. An odd scene unfolded before her—an unprecedented sense of oppression and sacredness struck her.

"This… this is…"

Shinka Nibutani, who had just wanted to see what was going on with the "Far Eastern Magic Association" founded by two classmates, heard a crash before she arrived. She thought something had collapsed, so she had hurried over to see if she could help. But as soon as she opened the door, she was met with this bizarre scene.

Yuta, Rikka, Sanae, and Fenxiang all looked at Shinka simultaneously. Terrified, Shinka stumbled back.

"Did I just see something I shouldn't have seen?"

Dekomori Sanae rushed forward, pulling Shinka into the classroom and slamming the door shut.

———

"What are you doing?! I didn't see anything!" Shinka screamed in horror, trying to get up but unable due to Sanae's hold.

Sanae looked at Rikka proudly. "Master, I have captured the mysterious spy. We have another living sacrifice!"

To her, her master had summoned this door using Chimera and Fenxiang-senpai.

Shinka, already frightened, struggled even more. "A living sacrifice?! Ahhh, let me go, help!"

Magic, sacrifices—all this at school?

Yuta was equally confused. Just as he was about to speak, the door suddenly opened.

Buzz—

Everyone looked over. Silence filled the room.

The golden door opened slowly, and under everyone's gaze, a figure with long blood-red hair slowly stepped out.

Everyone looked dumbfounded—she was so beautiful and had such a noble aura. Then they saw the dark demon wings behind her, and it felt like invisible hands squeezed their throats.

Demon.

Rias Gremory opened her eyes, lightly fluttered her demon wings, and landed on the floor. Her red eyes scanned the room. Chalk-drawn magic circles covered the floor, and five students stood dumbfounded.

Rias quickly understood the situation.

'It looks like these five students were trying to summon a demon. And it just so happened that the "Gate to the World" appeared here.'

Rias decided not to tease the students and smiled.

"Are you students? I don't know if you are lucky or unlucky."

"Do you not know how to properly draw a magic circle? An improper one can lead to dangerous summonings."
