Story Event: "The Reveal of the Blur"

---

Setting: Gessen Academy - Evening

Yozakura, Murakumo, Shiki, and Minori are walking through the courtyard of Gessen Academy when they suddenly feel the ominous presence of a yōma nearby. Their instincts kick in, and they immediately activate a shinobi barrier, sealing themselves inside with the approaching threat.

The yōma emerges from the shadows, larger and more powerful than usual, its presence darkening the air around it. The Gessen girls ready themselves for battle, but the creature moves quickly, charging straight at them. Just as it seems like the yōma is about to attack, a loud battle cry echoes through the barrier.

Before they can react, a red blur shoots through the battlefield, intercepting the yōma's attack and sending it reeling back. The source of the attack is none other than the power of Red's orb from Suzuki's belt, activated through his battle cry ability. The Gessen girls watch in surprise as Suzuki stands before them, his stance strong but slightly fatigued from the sudden burst of power.

With Suzuki's power shielding them, the Gessen girls quickly regain their composure and move to support him in the fight. The yōma, recovering from the attack, roars in anger and lunges again. Suzuki, channeling Red's strength, leads the charge alongside the girls. Yozakura strikes with her powerful fists, Murakumo uses her machete and spear, Shiki calls on her scythe, and Minori swings her bucket, while Suzuki enhances their attacks with Red’s battle cry, creating openings for the girls to land decisive blows.

The yōma struggles under the combined might of the team, and with one final coordinated attack, they manage to bring it down. The creature lets out a final roar before dissipating into dark mist, signaling their victory.

Yozakura (panting): "That was... intense."

Shiki (grinning): "But we totally nailed it, babe!"

However, just as the adrenaline begins to wear off, Suzuki suddenly collapses to the ground, exhausted from using his orb's power. His breathing is steady, but he’s clearly fallen asleep on the battlefield, his body pushed to its limit.

Murakumo (kneeling beside him): "He fought... like a shinobi. But he's just a civilian... right?"

The Gessen girls exchange confused glances. How could a civilian, someone outside their world, fight off a yōma with such power?

Minori (poking Suzuki's shoulder): "Is he okay? He fell asleep so fast!"

Before they can puzzle over it further, Yumi appears, having sensed the battle. She approaches her fellow Gessen shinobi, her expression calm and knowing.

Yumi (softly): "I see you've met Suzuki."

The girls turn to Yumi, who seems entirely unsurprised by the events that unfolded.

Yozakura (frowning): "Yumi, do you know him?"

Yumi (nodding): "Yes. He’s the one I mentioned before... the blur you saw during the rogue shinobi attack, and the one responsible for the objects falling from the sky when you fought the pigs."

The realization dawns on the Gessen girls all at once. The civilian who had been a mystery to them all this time was standing right in front of them — the one who intervened during their earlier battles.

Shiki (eyes widening): "Wait, this is the guy? The one who saved us before?"

Murakumo (surprised): "And he can fight yōma? But... how?"

Yumi kneels beside Suzuki and gently touches his shoulder, her expression soft.

Yumi (explaining): "Suzuki isn’t like other civilians. He has powers—unusual ones that come from these orbs." She gestures to the belt of orbs around Suzuki’s waist. "Each orb grants him a unique ability, and he’s been using them to help us fight without most of you realizing it."
