Fierce little girl

　　Without hesitation, Ryota chose to absorb the emotion of "fear" as the first step to start the second stage.

　　Ming Hong's sword immediately responded to his will.

　　At this moment, the emotion of fear that was spread over Tenjin Elementary School continued to gather in his heart.

Of course, the heart is only symbolic.

　　The final point of the accumulation of emotions is in the soul.

　　At the same time, Ryota felt the emotion of fear in his heart growing.

　　He was usually afraid of ghosts, but now that he was at Tenjin Elementary School, his body was trembling slightly.

　　But there is no choice, this is what he has to go through in the second stage.

　　Negative emotions need to be overcome.

　　Positive emotions need to be embraced.

　　There's no way out.

　　Only when he has complete control over his emotions can he successfully build bridges.

　　If he can't get out of his Fear. Then, the second stage will never be reached.

　　"Correct! There are still points."

　　Ryota summoned the system light screen and entered the reinforcement module.

　　The information on the screen has been updated.

　　[Physical: 60]

　　[Strength: 50]

　　[Agility: 50]

　　[Spirit: 120]

　　[System: Military Commander]

　　Without much hesitation, Ryota used his remaining 300 points to exchange for the progress of the Military Commander System.

　　300 points immediately disappeared.

　　As a result, he felt more emotions of fear in his heart.

　　This is the progress of the fear emotion pool, which has made a lot of progress.

　　After the collection is over, all that remains is to overcome fear.

　　It is a psychological transformation.

　　It must be done alone.

　　Ryota firmly believed that, at this point, his points wouldn't help much.

　　Because from the very beginning he did not find a way to strengthen his psychological qualities in the reinforcement module.

　　Soul transformation completely by itself.

　　"Just that."

　　After all the preparations were finished, Ryota took a deep breath.

　　By inhaling a large amount of oxygen, his brain becomes active.

　　The violent killing intent carried by the Ming Hong Sword was still there.

　　So the growing fear didn't stop him.

　　Ryota kept thinking about Misaki's appearance in his mind.

　　Thinking that she might have an accident here… Immediately, his courage rose.

　　Fear is controlled bit by bit.

　　(It worked! Presumably this is my own way of dealing with fear.)

　　(Ghosts are scary, but losing Misaki is even scarier to me! That gap of fear in the middle is the source of my courage!)

　　Ryota's eyes changed.

　　Fear grows, but at the same time, so does courage.

　　He grabbed a sword and ran wildly along the corridor.

　　Every time he passed by the classroom, he forcefully entered and quickly completed quests.

　　In less than a minute, he completed the quest on the second floor.

　　Four bodies are found along the way, along with the ghost that attacked them.

　　This time, Ryota didn't try to cut with the sword. Instead, he hit.

　　Under the action of his soul force, his fist hit the disembodied ghost, and instantly sent it flying.

　　The fact that he defeated the ghosts without relying on the Ming Hong Sword made him feel a tinge of joy in his heart.

　　It was the attack damage that made him slightly uncomfortable.

　　In the end, the ghost was hacked to death by him.

　　(There aren't as many corpses in this room as last time. Maybe Sachiko's strength isn't as strong as the ones I met before. If I fight hard, I should be able to deal with her!)

　　Ryota narrowed his eyes halfway.

　　With a substantial increase in courage, the violent killing intent in his heart gradually overshadowed fear.

　　Quickly climbing the stairs, he arrived at the third floor and completed the quest on the third floor within 1 minute.

　　Then he directly destroyed two floors and fell to the first floor in a free fall.

　　The big move quickly pulled up the final boss in this heavy space.

　　In the corridor of the first floor, Ryota and Sachiko meet.

　　But this time, the fear was much less.

　　Almost immediately, he took the initiative to rush over, swung the sword with a powerful momentum, and slashing the ghost of a little girl by wearing soul power!

　　The air roared as if it had been cut and exploded.

　　Explosion!

The sword collided with the knife.

　　The airwaves exploded.

　　Ryota took several steps back successively, the blood in his chest surging.

　　But he didn't care at all.

　　After boosting his courage, under the Ming Hong Sword's violent killing intent, he ignored his fear, and even pulled the corner of his mouth to reveal a hideous smile.

　　"Just this little ability? Then you will die!!"

　　Ryota bullied himself again, and slashed twice.

　　There was a huge impact sound.

　　The sharp blade that was blocked by Sachiko was almost cut.

　　This seemed to have stimulated its ferocity, a shrill roar escaped its mouth, and loathing rushed into Ryota's mind crazily.

　　However, the Ming Hong Sword suppressed his soul, and this ability had no effect on him.

　　Ryota looked around.

　　In the corridor of the first floor, many ghosts appeared one after another.

　　Some were black smoke, some were rotting corpses, and some were pure spiritual bodies with hideous and terrifying faces.

　　"Can you still summon other ghosts..."

　　Ryota was taken aback, but the shock soon faded.

　　The entire Tenjin Elementary School is Sachiko's territory, and other ghosts will listen to it, which is normal.

　　Ryota guesses that these ghouls shouldn't have died at Sachiko's hands, so they don't get swallowed up by her and become a part of her power.

　　"But no matter how many weaklings gather, it's useless!"

　　A mischievous smile appeared on Ryota's face.

　　Facing the horde of ghosts, he didn't run away at all, and just kept advancing.

　　He was like a ferocious bull crashing into him forcefully.

　　Under the action of soul force, several ghosts were directly thrown into the air!

　　"Die!!"

　　The sword in Ryota's hand swung in a dazzling trajectory, hacking to death a nearby ghost gate.

　　With the support of unlimited physical strength, he gave all efforts with all his might.

　　The strength of the whole body is fully exerted!

　　Whoosh...

The blade swayed and rolled down the wind pressure, blowing the dust on the floor and walls, and flying down the corridor.

　　The airwaves exploded continuously.

　　The wooden floor and walls split and cracked everywhere, and shards flew around.

　　For a moment, Ryota's aura was even scarier than Sachiko's!

　　"Kill! Kill them!"

　　In a frantic fight. Behind Ryota, a little girl suddenly appeared sprawled there.

　　It was the little girl he had hugged in his dream.

　　It was just that at this moment, the little girl's calm expression disappeared, replaced by a face full of madness.

　　She grinned wildly, revealing two small pointed canines, which looked very cute.

　　But within that ethereal voice, mixed was the most violent and ferocious desire:

　　"Hehehe... Kill! Kill!"

　　"Kill--!"

　　Ryota gripped the sword tightly, and a long howl shook the air.

　　There was a thick color of blood on the knife.

　　With his mischievous smile, he looked even more sinister than a ghost.

　　Rip off -!

Another ghost was instantly split in two.

　　The shrill scream was like howling and screaming.

　　Ryota didn't even look at her, he immediately found a new target, and cut her in half with one swing.

　　Just ten seconds later, he slaughtered all the ghosts.

　　Then he jumped and swiftly slashed at Sachiko who was behind.

　　Ryota's strength penetrated her entire body, and he smashed the fruit knife in Sachiko's hand with one punch, sending the latter flying straight away.

　　Maybe because of the spirit body, Sachiko passed through the wall and flew to another teaching building.

　　"This has not been completed!"

　　Ryota chased after her closely, sword gathering strength and momentum in his hand.

　　At the same time, the floor was continuously trampled into pieces, and under the superposition, an incomparably fast burst!

　　There was a door in front of him and he smashed it.

　　There was a wall in front of him and he broke it down.

　　In the small laughter and roar of the devil-like Ming Hong Sword.

　　He walked through the open corridor, broke the wall, and entered the first classroom in another building.

Sawdust and debris flying.

　　Ryota saw Sachiko at first glance.

　　Without stopping, he smashed all the desks and benches in the classroom to pieces, closed in on Sachiko with an incomparable momentum, and slashed with one punch!

　　"Die--!!!"

　　Sachiko didn't even have time to react, and under Ryota's raging killing intent, she was instantly chopped into pieces.

　　Even the blackboard and the wall behind were split open, creating a large hole.

　　Explosion--!

　　The room shook violently.

　　This layer of space began to crumble.

　　A hole leading to the outside world appeared.

　　But Ryota ignored it and allowed himself to lose his support point and fall down.

　　He had to keep on killing until he found Misaki!

　　...

　　"Looks like I have to be here...the curtain ends here."

　　Misaki was half lying in the corridor on the first floor, gasping at the group of ghosts in front of her and Sachiko in red behind her.

　　In the pupils of the beautiful star's eyes, there was a deep sense of unwillingness.

　　Bad luck!

　　After separating from Ryota, she fell into this heavy space.

　　And there were more corpses in this space than in the previous one.

　　Even though she finds a classroom and manages to escape for two hours, in a fight with some ghosts, the commotion still intrigues Sachiko.

　　After seeing the little girl in red, Misaki almost gave up.

　　Originally, when she fell, her calf was injured, and she couldn't move quickly. Additionally, to help Ryota control Sachiko, she draws on her energy excessively, and her abilities become sluggish.

　　Now she doesn't have the ability to fight Sachiko at all.

　　Misaki knew that she would probably die here.

　　(Too bad, agreement with Shiro-chan… I hope he won't blame me for my earlier statement.)

　　Misaki kept Ryota's image in her mind, and couldn't help but feel a little lost and regretful.

　　For a while her nose was a bit sour.

　　Up ahead, a large group of ghosts rushed at her, trying to tear her body apart.

　　Misaki subconsciously closed her eyes. Due to the overuse of abilities, her brain is always dizzy, and she no longer has the power to control the ghosts to resist. And there were so many ghosts here, it was beyond her limits.

　　Even if she controls seven or eight ghosts, it won't help.

　　The adventure has ended.

　　Explosion--!

　　Suddenly, there was a sound of banging on the door on the second floor.

　　Following the roar, familiar screams rang throughout the building:

　　"Misaki! Are you here!"

　　Misaki's closed eyes opened.

　　It's Ryota!

　　(This fool! How dare you enter! Are you chasing death?)

　　Misaki cursed in her heart.

　　But there was joy on her face.

　　Just as she was about to use her last bit of strength to communicate with her heart, that roar sounded again!

　　The ceiling above her head shattered.

　　Wood residue and debris splashed out, and a huge hole appeared.

　　Ryota fell with the floor broken.

　　Before landing, he relied on his perception and slashed towards the area of strongest hatred.

　　The few ghosts closest to him had all disappeared under the heavy blows.

　　Misaki looked forward.

　　After the smoke cleared, a tall figure covered in blood appeared in the field of vision.

　　"Shiro-chan...?"

　　"Ah...you're here, Misaki."

　　Ryota turned his head, and his eyes fell on Misaki.

　　His face was covered with large and small wounds, he was bleeding and looked extremely hideous.

　　But when that ferocious expression slowly died down, his smile softened:

　　"It's been more than a hundred times, and finally... I found you."
