In the waiting room of the research institute, a few familiar girls were using their own methods to wait for Zuotian Tears to appear. Chu Chun was sitting on a sofa slightly further away, quietly drinking her green tea. Although she looked very relaxed, her expression was filled with helplessness and a headache. Not far away, on another sofa, sat a girl with short brown hair. She had a depressed expression on her face as she sat on a long platform, doing something that was beneficial to her physical and mental health: shooting away Shiroi Kuroko, who kept trying to get close to her using all kinds of excuses.
The daily lives of the three of them were just this colorful.
This was the scene that Shallow Shallow and I saw when we led Zuotian Tears to the waiting room.
"Ah, Zuotian classmate!"
Chu Chun, who was in tea mode, was the first to see her friend appear. However, the first to appear in front of us was Shiroi Kuroko, who was teleported over — — in the form of crawling at our feet.
"Ah, under the whip of big sister's love, Kuroko feels that his body is a little out of control …"
Shiroi Kuroko staggered up from the ground. His body was still trembling as if he was suffering from side effects, and visible sparks of electricity shot out in all directions.
… What a tenacious creature. Here, as the leader of an Empire, I pay my respects to your fighting spirit, and as an otaku, I express my heartfelt gratitude to Shiroi Kuroko, who is fighting on the frontlines of the lily community …
"Why do I feel like your gaze is filled with all kinds of things?"
Shiroi Kuroko's eyelids drooped as he spoke to me slowly. Then, he held Zuotian Tears' hand and said happily, "Zuotian classmate, you finally appeared. We said that we would go shopping after the experiment today, but you didn't come. I couldn't get through to your phone, so I came to take a look. It's great that you're fine …"
Speaking of which, are you subtly slandering my research institute? Where can I find someone with a high IQ to help me analyze the deeper meaning behind Shiroi Kuroko's words, you bastard!
"Ah, sorry, sorry. Because of an important experiment today, the time was extended …" Zuotian Tears patted his head and smiled apologetically. He took out his phone and said, "Yup, maybe the research institute blocked the signal."
"An important experiment?" Shiroi Kuroko looked at me suspiciously, "It wouldn't be something strange, would it?"
"Can your way of thinking be any more bizarre!?"
Veins popped out on my forehead. Then, I smacked a certain lesbian's head without any hesitation. These few girls had been coming over to play for the past few days (Should I really consider the management system of the research institute?). We were already very familiar with each other, and we had made many similar jokes. However, my favorite was still Chisel, who was a yuri with all kinds of strange attributes!
On the other hand, Shallow Shallow smiled as she approached Shirai Kuroko, who was hugging his head, and said slowly with a gloomy expression, "Or do you have any questions about the project that our research institute is currently conducting?"
"I'm very sorry to have caused you so much trouble. Please don't take it to heart!"
After Shirai Kuroko finished speaking, she disappeared with a teleportation and accurately appeared behind Osaka Mikoto. She let out a long breath and said, "Phew — as expected, Big Sister's back is filled with a solid sense of support."
After a flash of lightning, the world became quiet again.
"Speaking of which, Raiko mentioned in the morning that today was just a routine test," Osaka Mikoto had a tired expression after dealing with her strange 'sister'. Then, as if she suddenly remembered something, she said, "Is it a temporary experiment?"
"More or less." Shallow tapped her lips with her index finger. "Because we have to test the power and application range of Zuo Tianlei's new superpower, we added a few more tests at the last minute. After all, if we don't understand superpowers thoroughly and find out the requirements to use them in advance, it could be dangerous for us and others."
"Oh, I see." Chu Chun nodded with a sigh of relief.
Three seconds later.
"Huh!?!?!?"
Three exclamations sounded in the waiting room at the same time — — By the way, Shiroi Kuroko, do you really believe in Haru-ge?
"Raiko classmate, you …"
The flower pot girl pointed at her best friend in disbelief as she stammered incoherently. Misaka Mikoto rushed forward and grabbed Terego Zuotian's hand as she asked excitedly, "Terego, is this real? Has your power been awakened? "
"Mhmm … I guess …"
Shocked by his friends' reaction, Zuotian Tears replied in a flustered manner. However, his tone still sounded a little uncertain as if he wasn't sure if the things that he suddenly grasped were the so-called superpowers. Well, that was understandable. After all, many of the Storm Commander's skills were 'pseudo-laws' that were between science and magic. According to the general manifestation of superpowers, there were too many anomalies in them. More importantly, the superpowers that were developed in the academy city needed to be 'calculated' before they could be unleashed. On the other hand, Zuotian Tears' Commander's skill tree was fully automatic. The activation method was completely different from what he was taught. It was no wonder that Zuotian Tears would wonder if this was a superpower.
"Raiko classmate! Raiko classmate! What is your superpower? Hurry up and let us see … "Chu Chun Xiuli seemed even more excited than when she first mastered her superpower. She grabbed Raiko's hand tightly with a face full of eagerness. The garland on her head even bloomed. Oh right, if there's a chance, I should ask Jingle to come over. It seems like there's a reserve member of the Church of Life here.
Zuotian Lei glanced at me and I nodded at her. These three girls were trustworthy. Moreover, Zuotian Lei probably didn't want to hide too much from them. After receiving my confirmation, she immediately revealed a happy smile. Then, she picked up a glass cup from the side. 'Speaking of which, don't you realize that this is the property of the research institute?' Zuotian Lei thought to herself.
Under the nervous gazes of the three girls, Raiko held the glass cup in her hand, and then …
The girls started accumulating hatred.
* Kacha, kacha *
Under Raiko's gaze, the single-layer structure of the glass cup was quickly filled with cracks. Because it didn't have any armor, its body was treated as an object that needed to be destroyed. The execution rules of the target's command were as such. No matter if it was a fragile structure made of glass or steel that weighed more than ten tons, it would all be destroyed by the power's pseudo-rule.
After a few seconds, the sturdy glass cup turned into powder under Raiko's grip, and slowly scattered along the girl's fingers.
"I don't know what kind of superpower this is." Raiko shook her hand and said, "It seems that the target that I stare at will become very fragile. It doesn't belong to the current superpower system. I'm afraid that the 'library's' scribes will have a headache."
Although she said that, Raiko's face was filled with unconcealable pride. A thirteen-year-old's heart couldn't be as astute and farsighted as an adult. Furthermore, she completely exposed her feelings in front of her friends.
"So … so powerful!"
Chu Chun Xiuli swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said with a shocked expression. Compared to this constant temperature flower pot, Raiko's superpower was indeed quite amazing.
"This kind of power is indeed very noteworthy." Shirai Kuroko revealed a rare serious expression, "I've never heard of such a thing … Director uncle, may I ask … Ah!"
"You have to call me director brother!" I hammered his head again.
Shirai Kuroko hugged her head and lowered her head, "Yes, yes, director brother. May I ask if Raiko's power level is out? It should be level 1 right? If she can make a glass fragile … "
"It should be above level 2 and close to level 3." I pondered for a moment before giving an inaccurate answer. "Under the condition of concentrating her mind, she can cause larger objects to become more easily damaged. Furthermore, the key to activating this ability seems to be 'paying attention' and not 'gazing'. To break through this point, Zuo Tianlei only needs to focus on one object to be able to break it down. However, she still needs to focus her attention through her gaze. After breaking through this point, this ability can be called level 3."
Of course, this wasn't true. In reality, Raiko's current power could be said to be close to level 5. Those born from Visca's "God Creation" technology would never be weaklings. Moreover, the Storm Commander's skills most likely had the effect of "Forceful Execution". Even if it was a few thousand tons of titanium alloy, as long as it had a single structure, it could be destroyed by Raiko's "Target Command". The amount of mental power required to destroy it was the same as destroying a glass. However, this was still based on individual strength. If it was in a team battle, Raiko's power would probably be even worse than a level 5. Unfortunately, according to the concept of superpowers in Gakuen City, this kind of power couldn't be detected. Furthermore, I didn't intend to let Raiko's matter blow up so quickly.
Even though my words were very conservative, it still caused the girls to exclaim loudly, "Close to level 3!? That's amazing! "
From a powerless person to suddenly awaken a level 3 superpower, it was no wonder they were so shocked.
"What method did you guys use …" Osaka Mikoto looked at me as if she was looking at a rare animal, "This development is too unexpected …"
"Confidential research!"
I said with a serious expression, but the moment I said that, the three girls who were chattering about Zuotian Lei Zi's situation immediately quietened down. Then, they nodded solemnly at me and bowed.
Speaking of which, should we say that children are really gullible?
Knowing that after Zuotian Lei Zi obtained his superpower, the girls would definitely celebrate. Under such a situation, it was best for us "outsiders" not to get involved. Thus, we didn't try to keep Chu Chun and the others who were about to leave, and we sent the four overjoyed girls out of the research center.
"What an unexpected development." Shallow Shallow let out a sigh of relief, then leaned into my embrace, "It seems that as long as you are by Ah Jun's side, there will never be a lack of all kinds of developments."
"Regarding this, I express my deepest apologies and all kinds of depression."
"Haha!" Shallow Shallow laughed happily, then pulled my arm in another direction. "Time to eat, time to eat. Our savior also needs to replenish his carbohydrates … Today, Lin Xue and I spent a lot of effort to come up with a masterpiece that we are confident in …"
I staggered, "Wait a moment, Shallow Shallow, I suddenly remembered that I met my long lost twin brother on the streets today, so I'm afraid I have to excuse myself for a moment. Don't bite me!!"
After that, it was a peaceful two days, at least from our point of view. Zuotian Lei Zi, who had just become a "metahuman", cheerfully ran over every day to conduct various tests on the range of her abilities. During her breaks, she would tell me about the interesting things that happened in her school. After the biggest knot in her heart was unraveled, this girl was obviously more cheerful than before. She no longer had that forced smile on her face like she did a few days ago. On the other hand, a Level 0 student suddenly obtained a superpower that was close to Level 3, and it was even a brand new superpower. This caused a small commotion among the teachers and students in Zuotian Lei Zi's school. However, what made the girl the happiest wasn't this, it was that she was finally no longer a burden to her friends. After I explained to her that her superpower was more suitable to support her allies, not only was Zuotian Lei Zi not disappointed, she was also abnormally happy. Although it wasn't that she couldn't understand, her mentality was really different from mine. Thinking back, I was the one who had tearfully chosen to become a priest because of Er Pang's various threats and promises …
However, while we were living our daily lives peacefully, a certain old fox probably couldn't sit still anymore, right?
I didn't know why Aresta hadn't reacted to us, the "intruders" that appeared out of nowhere. However, as the commotion on our side grew bigger and bigger, and we continuously triggered things that couldn't be explained with common sense, even if Aresta was a calm and collected emperor, he should be surprised by this time, right?
In the end, on the afternoon of the third day, a man who claimed to be a member of the "Academy's Urban Covert Operations Class" came to our research institute and informed me that the chairman of the academy had invited me.
Please address me as the Prophecy Emperor from now on, thank you. Also, remember to separate me from that half-deity Lin Xue …
The heart of the academy city, a black building built entirely of special composite materials that could withstand nuclear explosions. It didn't have any doors or windows, and one could only rely on a special space-type ability user to act as the "guide" to enter and exit. This was where Aresta resided.
I felt that the person who chose to live in such a place must have experienced extreme mental trauma when he was young. Otherwise, how could he design such a painful nest without a severely autistic heart?
However, just from the design concept alone, this thing was quite similar to the Space-Time Management Center in the Shadow City, especially this kind of security measures that didn't have any doors or windows, and one had to rely on teleportation to enter. If the exterior of this building was changed to a gigantic coffin, it would really be a perfect match for Tawil's concept.
"Have you seen enough? If you are, we will go in. "
The little girl who acted as the "guide" said in an indifferent voice. I was shocked, "Ah, so you have lines too?!"
The little girl was speechless.
"Alright, alright, bring me to see that old fox. Don't look at me like that, you should know that there are many things that you don't need to participate in."
Noticing the surprised expression on the little girl's face after I called her "old fox", I said mysteriously. Then, the little girl nodded in understanding and grabbed my arm. Speaking of which, it was really easy to lie to children.
I sighed in my heart. In the next second, I felt that the scenery in front of me had undergone a huge change.
It wasn't like the Schilling technology that used spatial displacement to achieve the purpose of teleportation. Instead, it directly rewrote one's own three-dimensional coordinates to achieve the change of position. Although this limited the volume and number of teleportation units, it was a rather novel method of teleportation. Perhaps Tawil would be interested in it.
Feeling the uniqueness of teleportation for metahumans, I sighed in my heart. Then, I raised my head and looked at the fallen man in the light green test tube in front of me.
The "guide" beside me had already left. Just like what I said, she shouldn't be involved in what was going to happen here.
In this eerie and strange place, this vast space was filled with oddly shaped machines and pipes. Countless flickering lights were hidden in the gaps of these things, like the bright eyes of a beast in the dark. Complicated lines interweaved and meandered forward, finally converging into a huge light green glass container in the middle of the room. That test tube-like container contained the same color LCL solution, the main components were formalin and hydrogen peroxide … Nonsense! Cut that part out. In short, in the center of everything, a "creature" wearing a light green surgical gown, whose gender was almost impossible to distinguish from his face, was quietly floating upside down in the thick test tube. His eyes seemed to be eternally calm.
Aresta was once the most talented magician in the world. He instantly discovered the existence of the truth, and he was the true founder and ruler of the school city. Also, it was obvious that he was trying to cosplay as Bubbles, but he failed … Yep, let's get rid of that part …
Your appearance is too much of a pity! You aren't cute at all! Other than the Bubble that was dozing off in the crystal prism, any creature that dared to float in the tube should be punished by the heavens!
"I've been paying attention to you for a long time."
Just as I was cursing at high speed in my heart and desperately spamming the cute image of Bubble in my head, a strange androgynous synthesized voice suddenly sounded from all directions in the room. Aresta, this "creature" that handed all life activities to machines to complete, turning himself into the purest thinker, even the way he spoke was so post-modern.
"I've also been paying attention to you for a long time." I waved my hand at the other party, then frowned and looked around, "You don't even have a stool in this place?"
The air was silent for three seconds, then the electronic synthesized voice sounded again, "You really are a person that I can't understand, and your companions, I don't even know how you entered the school city …"
"Wait!"
I waved my hand to interrupt the other party's words, then took out a stool under Aresta's slightly curious gaze. Speaking of which, why did I really find such a thing in my voice recorder? Originally, I wanted to find a waste shell to use as a round stool.
After solving the problem of not having a stool, I nodded at the other party, "Alright, speak!"
