[Now broadcasting the evening news]
[Former lawmaker survives assassination attempt and has been taken to hospital for treatment]
Large numbers of citizens are marching in the streets of Shibuya; officials have deployed personnel to manage the situation.

Snapped--
A boy wearing the university uniform calmly turned off the TV, held up three fingers, picked up a bright red apple, and rubbed, rotated, and examined it.
I just couldn't eat it.
He took the apple, strolled to the balcony, gazed at the bright moon outside the window, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
Three days ago, he was just an ordinary top student at Dongda University, living a mundane life that seemed to have no future.
Going to school, taking exams, club activities...
Socializing, cocktail parties, job applications...
Perhaps in five or ten years, he will become a clerical worker in the Metropolitan Police Department, just like his old-fashioned father, confined to a small cubicle for the rest of his life, living a boring life.
but.
Swish!
The male student from the University of Tokyo tossed a delicious apple into the air.
Strangely, the apple didn't fall to the ground; instead, it chipped off at an alarming speed—one piece, two pieces…
Crack, crack.
The air was filled with the sickening sound of chewing; the speed at which they were gnawing was something no human could possibly do.
In just two or three seconds, he devoured a perfectly plump apple, core and all.
"Phew, delicious, delicious."
A hoarse, monstrous voice echoed in the air. Upon hearing this voice, Dong Da Nan showed no fear; instead, he revealed a look of intoxication and opened his arms forward.
"Look, Ryuk."
"This is my era!"
Splash!
In his line of sight, a monster with black wings and an extremely terrifying and ferocious appearance suddenly appeared less than 1 centimeter away from his eyes.
The black-winged monster named "Ryuk" let out a sickening laugh, its entire face stretching backward as if torn apart, its huge, frog-like eyes looking at the male protagonist in front of it from a bizarre perspective, one to the left and one to the right.
Special-grade cursed spirit, Ryuk the Grim Reaper.
This is the person the male student from Tokyo University encountered on campus three days ago.
It told itself that it was a top-tier cursed spirit who had received the blessing of the "Seed of Cursed Power" and awakened "Spells" and "Wisdom," possessing a powerful spell that could cause the target's heart to be paralyzed within 30 seconds simply by writing their name in a notebook—
【death Note】.
Although the "Seed of Cursed Power" granted Ryuk immense power, it also awakened his intelligence and emotions, giving him his own personality: a fun-loving person.
Rather than using its own power, it would prefer to watch a bigger spectacle.
such as.
Choose an agent to use this power.
And the male student from the University of Tokyo was the one Ryuk chose.
He excels academically, is athletically gifted, has a meticulous mind, and a perfect personality.
Most importantly, he is extremely ambitious and will stop at nothing to achieve his goals.
"Time will prove that your choice was right, Ryuk."
The male student from the University of Tokyo turned his back, and the bright moonlight shone on his back, outlining a silhouette that resembled that of a god.
His eyes turned crimson, a characteristic possessed only by those who wield the Death Note, allowing them to see cursed spirits even as ordinary people.
But at this moment, this feature unexpectedly matched the expression of the male student from the University of Tokyo perfectly, as if he was born to have a pair of scarlet eyes.
"I will become the new world, the new era."
"god!"
……
"Explode, reality!"
"Crush it, spirit!"
"In the name of the Evil King's True Eye, banish this world!"
Tokyo, on a school campus.
The chuunibyou girl wearing an eye patch shouted out her signature move as usual, while her companions could only smile wryly, having long been used to her silly antics.
After all, aside from being a bit eccentric, the girl's personality is quite good in other aspects.
however.
Just when everyone thought that this was just another harmless joke, and that the girl was just acting silly as usual.
Wow!!!
A ball of pitch-black flame actually appeared before the girl's eyes. The terrifying temperature it released in an instant caused those around her to take several steps back, almost getting burned.
"What's going on?"
"Who accidentally lit the fire?"
"That's not right, a normal flame isn't this color. What's going on?"
Seeing her friends frantically trying to put out the fire, the girl with chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) was momentarily at a loss. She stared blankly at the flames in front of her and subconsciously uttered a sentence.
"O pitch-black flames, my most loyal servant, obey my command and return to your original place."
Swah——
As the chuunibyou girl finished her incantation, the eerie blue flame actually transformed into an invisible ball of magical energy, returning to the area below her right eye, which was covered by an eyepatch, and disappeared.
Everyone stared at the scene before them, speechless with shock.
half an hour.
Only one girl stepped forward and asked cautiously.
"That flame just now... could it really have been emitted by the Evil King's True Eye?"
"Mostly... probably."
The girl with chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) turned around with a look of lingering fear, a stiff smile on her face, and recounted what had happened to her in the past few days.
That day, she saw a black cat under the bridge. Just as she was about to touch it, the black cat disappeared instantly, and in its place, many unknown memories appeared in her mind.
"That memory says that the power I awakened has a unified name, 'Spell,' and my spell is called 'Imagination Manifestation,' which seems to be able to materialize the power of my imagination into reality."
"The more specific the fantasy setting, the deeper the emotions, and the stronger the bonds, the better the effect will be when it is materialized."
"I... I thought I was just being childish again, making up some kind of scenario at some point... I never imagined it would actually be true..."
The girl with chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) was trembling. She was just an ordinary student who liked to fantasize, and suddenly she had the terrifying power to burn down forests and melt steel. It was hard for her to accept.
"Don't worry, I remember reading on the news that if anyone has experienced any supernatural phenomena recently, they can seek help at a place called 'High School of Curses.' The people there will tell us everything."
A girl suddenly spoke up, recalling the announcement that had been playing on TV for the past few days, and also remembering that people on the forum had discussed this topic, mentioning things like "sorcerers".
Although those posts were quickly deleted, she still remembered them.
No matter what.
Given this strange occurrence, let's wait for the official explanation first.
Finally, the girl's companions surrounded her, who was suffering from chuunibyou (middle school syndrome), and they walked together towards the Jujutsu High School.
