Chapter 22: Writing Questions Based on the Answers

Yuki Asahi was patrolling various physical examination points when he soon encountered a group of classmates.

However, none of the classmates seemed to remember there was such a person in the class.

Only Kaori Onishi stepped forward to greet him.

Yuki Asahi didn’t seem eager to chat and was just about to find an excuse to leave.

Suddenly, there was a commotion in the blood extraction queue—a male student at the front was pinned to the ground by a SAT-EX member.

Yuki Asahi hurried over and asked, “What happened?”

A young man with a Tokushu Jishou Taiou Honbu work ID hanging from his chest explained, “He was acting too nervous. After we questioned him, he tried to run.”

Didn’t expect the examination to actually flush out a real one by accident?

A worthy opponent!

After the boy was taken away, Yuki Asahi followed to comfort him.

Upon learning that he was also an “abnormal person” like himself, the boy’s panic subsided a little.

From the boy’s own account, he learned his name was Masakazu Kinoshita, and he had obtained “superpowers” a few days ago.

In the middle of his explanation, a flashback played.

The scene showed Masakazu Kinoshita’s “Dormant Shell” as he used his power.

From this, the audience could judge he was at the Parasitic Larva Stage, having just awakened as a Heart Worm.

The ability he gained could be considered Invisibility.

But this Invisibility felt more like pulling his existence into another space.

People in the original space became blurry figures—he could still touch them, but couldn’t see their faces clearly or hear what they said.

When he thought he was the chosen one, destined to build a harem in the future, rumors of the previously mentioned Incident began spreading on campus.

Its manifestation was very similar to his ability, and it was absolutely related to him.

Soon after, Tokushu Jishou Taiou Honbu moved into the school at lightning speed.

On Saturday morning, after arriving at school and being told to undergo a surprise examination, Masakazu Kinoshita completely panicked.

As a high school student, he didn’t expect things to escalate so much and thought he had caused a huge disaster.

After all, the SAT-EX members armed to the teeth were extremely intimidating.

Clearly, a very serious Incident had occurred.

From Masakazu Kinoshita’s perspective, Tokushu Jishou Taiou Honbu must have some way to detect superpower users.

So, during the blood test—what he imagined to be the most likely stage for exposure—he became so nervous that he was questioned by Tokushu Jishou Taiou Honbu staff.

Since the person had been caught, there was no need to continue the examination.

The other students were informed, in a daze: It’s a Holiday!

Going against the noisy crowd leaving the school, Yuki Asahi followed behind Masakazu Kinoshita, who was being “escorted.”

Suddenly, a Tokushu Jishou Taiou Honbu member squeezed through the crowd, his face showing clear urgency.

He shouted to an escort of apparently higher rank, “Team Leader! The Base has been attacked!”

“Huh?”

The scene instantly cut to the exterior of the Tokushu Jishou Taiou Honbu office building—blood flowed down the stairs.

Several fully armed SAT-EX members, their bulletproof gear slashed by sharp blades, lay collapsed at the entrance, dead beyond doubt.

Inside the office area, chaos reigned—marks of blades cutting through the floor, walls, and ceiling.

With a loud bang, the Tokushu Jishou Taiou Honbu storage area was blown open, and two figures in trench coats emerged from the smoke.

[No way? Is this really Destruction Tower?]

[Terrorist win]

[Ace! Your MVP Anthem is playing for all Players: Where in life is not a green mountain]

The man on the left was tall and upright, wearing large sunglasses and a mask covering his face.

His green hair was tied into a ponytail with a cute Rabbit Hair Tie.

The man on the right was slightly shorter, with light gray pupils and messy red hair, a Mouth Mask covering his face.

The green-haired man gently raised his hand, and an arc-shaped blade shot out of thin air, neatly slicing through the glass protection outside the “Divine Stone.”

He then turned to look down the corridor behind him.

In the corridor, an employee sat on the floor, clutching a wound on his shoulder, panting against the wall.

“I say, you guys are too weak. And you still want to replace GPRI like this?”

He spoke lightly.

The red-haired man beside him ignored his companion’s provocation.

From within his trench coat, he took out a launcher resembling a pistol and aimed it at the “Divine Stone.”

“Thank you for charging the Shock Core, but the name ‘Divine Stone’ is just too stupid.”

His voice carried a hint of laughter.

“Let’s start from here—drag you inferior species down. The world belongs to New Humanity.”

“Remember our name—The Light Extinguishers.”

Whoosh—

A laser shot into the Divine Stone, which began to vibrate, sending out waves of light that rippled outward.

Passing through the building, it radiated rapidly in all directions.

[New Humanity? Are you going to insult gravity too?]

[The real villain has appeared]

[Another hint at Sister Yue]

[This guy uses a pink Rabbit Hair Tie, so gross]

[Shaking with anger]

[Earlier, Emi-chan gave a hint—maybe she’s with another faction?]

So sorry! There is no other faction!

Emi-chan is just a rich girl under Dormancy, that’s all.

Jiang Jian Yue held her head, not expecting that one joke would make her “big hand” status in the audience’s eyes grow even more.

She’d seen plenty of ‘playing dumb to hide strength,’ but being forced to play the tiger was a first.

The so-called Shock Core’s function seemed to be to affect Heart Worms, enabling Awakening.

Across Tokyo’s streets and alleys, people everywhere were shocked to discover they’d gained superpowers.

Some flew in the sky, some breathed fire, and even a transparent Mirror appeared above Akihabara.

No one knew whose ability was so ridiculous.

However, at De Xun High School, an Incident suddenly broke out.

Swept by the Shock Core’s radiation, Masakazu Kinoshita suddenly clutched his chest tightly, collapsing to his knees.

He seemed to realize his life was on a countdown, crying out in anguish, grabbing Yuki Asahi’s pants, and screaming that he didn’t want to die.

A nearby SAT-EX member pointed his gun at him.

Poor kid.

With a sharp cracking sound, countless tentacles burst forth from within.

After enveloping Masakazu Kinoshita’s body, they writhed incessantly, rapidly forming a grotesque monster.

An unstable Heart Worm finally transformed into a Tunjiti.

Yuki Asahi dodged aside, while the SAT-EX members opened fire with their submachine guns.

Masakazu Kinoshita’s Tunjiti form was not as durable as a Devourer G.

Countless dense bullet holes appeared on his body as he let out a shrill scream.

Masakazu Kinoshita vanished into thin air before everyone’s eyes.

The SAT-EX members were quickly slammed against the walls by the invisible enemy, one after another.

Judging by the animation’s impact, it didn’t seem to be life-threatening.

The attacks landed lightly, as if afraid of damaging the suit—just like the force used in a tokusatsu show.

Yuki Asahi was helpless too, chased and beaten by Masakazu Kinoshita, covering his head as he fled.

Quick, use your invincible Emotional Shockwave and figure something out!

For some reason, Yuki Asahi still hadn’t used the ability he’d gained after molting.

Amidst the tense battle, the camera shifted to Kaori Onishi not far away.

She was toying with a floating bead of water in her hand.

Her Heart Worm had also Awakened instantly after being exposed to the radiation, manifesting as Water Manipulation.

And water could break Invisibility.

“This is a bit like Keqing!” Jiang Jian Yue was extremely displeased.

Isn’t this just creating questions with the answers in hand?

Why was it that the ability she received couldn’t play a role in fighting Devourer G?

Didn’t that make her seem useless!
