This is bad!
Though Taro's words sounded pleasant, Jenna's keen instincts detected the killing intent hidden within them. In that moment, the female teacher's body and soul entered an unprecedented state of trembling, cold sweat streaming down her forehead.
Seeing him raise his hand, Jenna bit down hard on her lips without hesitation, releasing every bit of spiritual power from her body in an explosive burst! In that instant, lightning flashed everywhere, the violent electrical display temporarily driving away the darkness of the dense forest. Under this display of thunder's might, the surrounding large trees were instantly reduced to charcoal, the ground itself beginning to tremble slightly.
Of course, Jenna's immediate release of all her power wasn't meant to fight Taro. She knew clearly that at merely mid-Level 6, going up against the Level 8 Taro would be like throwing eggs at stones! Her only goal was escape.
She hoped to use the dust clouds kicked up by the lightning to obscure Taro's vision, then flee into the city. Even the Felder family wouldn't dare to act overtly within the city!
Driven by survival instinct, Jenna unleashed power beyond anything she'd shown before. However...
After several seconds of thunder and lightning clashing, the thick smoke pervading the forest suddenly dispersed, and the power of lightning between heaven and earth crumbled and vanished without a trace.
Jenna collapsed to her knees before Taro, utterly exhausted. One of her arms had already vanished.
Blood continuously flowed from the stump of her arm, staining the earth red.
Meanwhile, Taro remained composed, casually gripping Jenna's face with his right hand. With just this casual grip, Jenna's power rapidly drained from her body, leaving her completely weak and without an ounce of strength to resist.
Glancing at Jenna with his peripheral vision, Taro sneered coldly, "How presumptuous. Did you really think you could escape?"
As he spoke, suffocating dark brown spiritual power gradually seeped from Taro's palm. Under Jenna's terrified and despairing gaze, it slowly enveloped her.
"I-I'm sorry... I promise, I won't teach Mina anymore... Please, please..."
Jenna begged in terror. She didn't want to die. She still had children waiting for her at home, she couldn't die here...
"I... I still have children to take care of... Please, please..."
At this, Taro smiled slightly, then spoke with feigned helplessness:
"Sorry, but I trust dead people more. Besides, if you were to tell the Special Affairs Bureau or Fanzi Kenzou about Little Mina, that would be quite troublesome for me."
?!!!
As Taro spoke these words, Jenna's pupils suddenly contracted, unprecedented terror pouring from her eyes.
She wanted to say something more, or perhaps struggle and resist a bit more.
Unfortunately, in the next instant, Taro's fingers suddenly clenched with force.
Then, intense pain instantly shot through Jenna's brain.
"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"
Hysterical screams echoed between heaven and earth.
Amid the brown mist's embrace, Jenna's struggling figure flickered in and out of view. Her skin began taking on a sickly purple-black color, as if covered by a thick layer of dark clouds. The erosion of Taro's power gradually drained the life from her body - her skin began to crack, emitting a foul stench.
Her eyes were filled with pain and helplessness, pupils dilated to their limits, reflecting the terror of death. The lightning markings that had once been full of power rapidly dimmed on her body, transforming into decaying imprints. Under the ravages of this corrosive power, her flesh melted away like dissolving wax, turning into blood mixed with dark liquid.
Hair, ears, nose, eyes - everything began to dissolve...

Before long, what had been a middle-aged woman of some beauty transformed into a nauseating monster emanating decay.
As the dissolution progressed, Jenna's screams grew increasingly feeble.
Finally, amid feelings of despair and unwillingness, this Level 6 ability user's body completely collapsed, leaving only a puddle of murky blood and some remaining fragments.
Taro coldly observed all this, the spiritual power on his palm gradually dispersing, leaving only a scene of eerie silence.
A thick stench of decay pervaded the area.
To this, Taro remained indifferent, or rather seemed to take some pleasure in it.
Casually flicking away bits of flesh from his hand, Taro looked toward the city sleeping in the night with feigned helplessness and slight melancholy.
"A mother who's lost her child is quite pitiful indeed. They must miss their mother very much? In that case... let's send them to reunite."
As these words left his mouth, an eerie figure suddenly emerged from Taro's shadow, diving underground and slinking toward the city.
If someone with keen eyes had been present, they might have been shocked to discover that this shadow diving into the ground looked identical to Jenna in appearance. But if one sensed carefully, it wasn't hard to realize it was merely a monster wearing human skin.
….
The next day at noon, news of a mother biting her child to death before committing suicide caused an enormous stir across the nation.
However, at this moment, Mina, who had rushed home in a panic, didn't yet know her teacher had already met with disaster.
After seeing her mother's message on her phone, all other thoughts were driven from Mina's mind. She had only one thought - get home immediately!
The message's content simply described that her brother, who had died ten years ago, had his soul travel to another world. Now he had finally returned to the Blue Star. However, although her brother had returned, his body had undergone earth-shattering changes.
That is, he had become a girl.
Afterwards, her mom's message included photos of a black-haired young woman interacting with her dad. Mina completely ignored her dad in the photos, all her attention drawn to that black-haired young woman.
That young woman was breathtakingly beautiful, beautiful to the point of suffocation. Even Mina herself, who possessed an adorable face, felt a sense of inadequacy.
Of course, beauty was one thing, but more importantly, the figure of this black-haired young woman in the photo vaguely overlapped with her memory of her Brother?! That demeanor was almost identical to her brother's?!
Realizing this point, Mina was certain – her mom wasn't playing some boring prank on her!
"Brother, Brother he?! Really came back!!!"
She ran home excitedly, the training plans in her mind completely forgotten.
Well, that was quite normal. After all, while training was very important... compared to seeing her beloved onii-chan... ah no, now it should be onee-chan... compared to seeing onee-chan, training meant nothing!
To make a good impression when meeting her sister, Mina specially rushed back to her student dormitory, completed her washing up with unprecedented efficiency, changed into a pretty dress, then charged out the school gates amid the hysterical scolding of the dorm manager.
Finally, around 6 AM, just as the dawn sunlight was awakening the sleeping city, the panicked Mina finally arrived home.
While panting excitedly, Mina arrived at the door of a certain room.
Which room was her sister in?
Yela hadn't told Mina.
But following the scent, Mina inexplicably determined which room her sister was in.
Taking a deep breath, Mina opened the door with an excited smile.
"Bro... brother??"
However, in the next instant, Mina's excited words came to an abrupt halt.
Because after pushing open the door, what entered Mina's sight was an unexpected scene.
At this moment, her sister sat naked on the bed, and beside her was another silver-haired young woman in tattered clothes. By the bedside was another unfamiliar short-haired girl, seriously observing the two figures on the bed while hugging their white cat.
Seeming to notice the sound of the door opening, the black-haired girl belatedly met Mina's eyes with some surprise.
"Eh? Mi-Mina??"
"..."
For a moment, Mina fell silent.
Her pupils instantly dilated, her body frozen in place, unable to believe everything she was seeing. Her face showed an expression of disbelief, mouth slightly open as if wanting to speak but unable to form words. The smile on her face visibly faded away, replaced by a ghastly gloom.
Unconsciously, an awkward and silent atmosphere pervaded the room, time seeming to freeze in this moment.
Mina's gaze gradually lost its light.
"Bro... sis, ww, wha... what are you doing!!??"
