Chapter 84: Tennis Boy and Superpowers
When the assistant sister finished her work and walked out of the hospital, Lord Suzuki, who had fled after hearing the news, was sitting in the back seat of the car blowing his nose.
She was crying miserably, with red eyes and nose. She seemed to want to say hello, but she hiccupped two or three times in a row.
The assistant sister got into the car as if she hadn't noticed anything and asked calmly, "What should we do next? Are we just going to let Kenneth live here?"
Yuanzi sniffed and said in a muffled voice, "Of course not."
"I originally wanted Kenneth to lose money, but nowadays, competition in every industry is fierce, and there's chaos all day long. If you open a snack bar, you don't know whether the people who come to eat ramen are human or demons, and whether they will pick up the bowl to eat and then kill the boss lady when they put down their chopsticks."
She pursed her lips and said, "I'm mainly attracted by the technology he's used to build that magic workshop. If I could take this opportunity to have him magically transform all of our family's assets, then I'd be completely relieved."
"Excuse me for being blunt," the assistant sister pushed up her glasses. "Isn't the Yato-shin who went to Takamagahara with the Yu family the patron saint of Suzuki?"
——With the God of War in charge, is it still necessary to set up a barrier?
Sonoko waved her hand and explained, "We're casting a wide net to catch the right fish. Given the density of our businesses, the chances of winning bids simultaneously are incredibly high. If we rely on just one guardian for thousands of sites, we're clearly going to tire Yato to death!"
The assistant sister's attention is focused on [Thousands of Places].
Assistant Sister: Have you ever thought about exhausting Mr. Kenneth, who set up the barrier, to death?
In the back seat of the car, the future leader of the Suzuki family rubbed her red nose and sneezed, then continued to mutter with drooping eyelids, saying that she had considered looking for people from China before, but whether they were barrier masters, onmyojis, wizards, or monks, they all lived in the same land, and there was no guarantee that local forces would not abuse their power for personal gain, just like programmers who leave a backdoor for their family members when designing a spell.
After all, Kenneth El-Melloi Archipelago lived in Europe, and after the Holy Grail War, he basically had no contact with Japan anymore.
Just right!
The assistant sister thought about it and found that what she said actually made sense.
"What's more," Yuanzi took out a small mirror and put in eye drops, "when you consult an Onmyoji, you're paying someone to do something. Money transactions should be fair and open. It's not like one party is asking the other for help. Even if the payer can take the initiative, it's not advisable to make excessive requests."
The assistant sister thought to herself, you also know that [asking Kenneth to put up a barrier around all properties owned by the surname Suzuki] is a particularly excessive request?
——If he wasn’t a foreigner, the court would have wanted to use the labor law to seek justice for him!
On the other side, the cold-blooded capitalist Suzuki Sonoko finally revealed her ugly face of "if you can get a good deal, you should take it".
She said: "This guy named Kenneth is now paralyzed. If he wants to stand up, or even better, if he wants to regain his strength, he has to rely on us."
"Rehabilitation is a rigid demand for him. There's no room for bargaining or cutting corners. It's a true buyer's market, and we have almost absolute control!"
The more the assistant sister listened, the more she felt it made sense. She looked at His Highness Suzuki, who looked pitiful but had a very high-spirited tone, and revealed a cruel reality.
"Your Highness... do you really know the extent of the injury 'complete destruction of the magic circuit'?"
Yuanzi put the small mirror back into her arms, thought carefully, and answered: "Is he not dead yet?"
The assistant sighed, "It's practically the same as death."
"The classification of magicians as a race is based not on bloodline or appearance, but solely on magical power. The complete destruction of Kenneth Archipelago's magic circuits means that Kenneth as a magician has vanished. If this had happened three or five hundred years earlier, during the peak of magicians' extreme xenophobia, he would have likely committed suicide to preserve his last bit of dignity as a magician."
Sonoko: ...
Sonoko: "Feudal superstition is truly horrible."
The assistant sister felt a lump in her throat. After a pause, she prompted, "The point I want to make is this: for all magi throughout history, the destruction of their magic circuits is equivalent to death."
"This kind of injury can be substituted for a terminal illness for an ordinary person!"
"I see……"
His Highness Suzuki nodded as if he suddenly understood something.
Then she asked, "Can't you handle it too?"
The assistant sister breathed a sigh of relief and asked slowly, "You are the current head of the Yuzhu Tower, but do you still remember that Fei Shiyuan is an organization for the management of people with special abilities?"
She emphasized the word "superpower".
The person in charge, His Highness Suzuki, thought for a moment and replied, "...because he can polish jade with his own strength?"
Assistant Sister: ...
Assistant Sister: This guess is actually quite logical!
She shook her head and regrouped, trying to communicate with Suzuki Sonoko again, saying: The focus of the Institute of Non-Time has always been on the research of stone tablets, and magic and sorcery are just done on the side, and when there is insufficient funding, they are put aside directly. Only magicians will empathize with the research and work hard for generations.
"Yes."
Assistant sister: Does this reaction mean you understood or not?
"What I mean is," the young lady said patiently, as if coaxing a child, "while the research conducted by the Shichikamado Institute under the Non-Time Institute has some unconventional methods that can cure most commonly considered incurable diseases, these materialistic illnesses like lung cancer, stomach cancer, leukemia, etc. definitely do not include 'damaged magic circuits'."
In other words, the equation of "curing Kenneth" in exchange for "enchanting all of the Suzuki Group's industries" was not valid from the beginning.
"Why don't you consider hiring the shrine maidens of Ise Jingu in the name of the Onhashira Tower? They'll probably be able to help you."
Suzuki Sonoko in the back seat of the car blinked in confusion. After a while, she finally understood what the young lady was hinting at her.
For a moment, Sonoko felt a little embarrassed to tell this earnest assistant sister: As the current nominal person in charge of Fei Shiyuan, she had never thought that there was a medical research institute under Yuzhu Tower until the assistant sister mentioned it!
Sonoko pointed at the call number on the screen marked as Inoue Orihime and answered it without hesitation.
——Can she say that she had never considered formal medical treatment from the beginning?
=====
It was summer vacation at the high school, and the target character, Miss Orihime Inoue, was working part-time at the dojo where her good friend Ryuki Arisawa was studying because of livelihood issues.
When the phone rang, the morning training had come to an end. Long Gui was gulping water from a cup, while Inoue was carrying a dark green water pipe and watering the lawn in front of the corridor of the gym.
When Arisawa Tatsuki and Inoue Orihime chatted, the main topic was usually Kurosaki Ichigo. However, Kurosaki-kun had been very detached from the crowd recently. Arisawa Tatsuki finished drinking water and complained while holding the cup: "Where the hell has Ichigo been recently?"
"well?"
Inoue Orihime squeezed the tube helplessly, not knowing how to answer Longgui's question without mentioning the keyword "Death God".
Luckily, Long Gui's original intention was just to complain. Before Orihime could get too guilty and reveal her true colors, he naturally put on a disgusted face and said, "I've seen it several times. Is that guy hooking up with some rich guy? He's often picked up by luxury cars after school!"
"And they are all different luxury cars!" she emphasized confidently.
Miss Inoue's long eyelashes trembled silently, and she thought to herself that it was because Longgui always entered the classroom on time in the morning, otherwise you would have found out: Kurosaki-kun is not only always picked up by a luxury car after school, but he is also taken to school by a luxury car!
Thinking of Ms. Suzuki who claimed to be "Ichigo Kurosaki's lifelong sponsor", Orihime Inoue felt a subtle sense of powerlessness.
Before she could make sense of the phrases "Ms. Suzuki", "Kurosaki-kun", "rival", and "Is there a difference between a lifetime sponsor and a girlfriend", her phone rang.
The caller was none other than the powerless Ms. Suzuki.
"Are you free now?"
"well?"
In Inoue Orihime's memory, they hardly exchanged a few words. Apart from the name Suzuki Sonoko, she even found her appearance quite vague (after all, in her soul form, Miss Suzuki looked like an ultimate light bulb emitting white light). If she hadn't specially added a note to Suzuki's mobile phone number for some reason, she would have hung up the phone immediately just because of the unfamiliar voice.
Ms. Suzuki seemed completely oblivious to her bewildered silence and asked in a familiar manner, "Is Ms. Inoue free now?"
Inoue Orihime subconsciously told the truth: "I'm working a part-time job and will be free in the afternoon."
"In that case," the person on the other end of the phone seemed to have a cold, and her voice was a bit nasal, but this did not affect the joy and vitality revealed in her words: "Since you have time, let's meet?"
"well?"
After sighing, she subconsciously gave the address of the gym.
About half an hour later, a team of heavily armed black cars suddenly appeared at the entrance of the dojo. Inoue Orihime put away the plastic tube and got into the shiny black car with a confused look on her face, leaving Ryuki Arisawa biting a watermelon and thinking: Why do her good friends... seem to have hooked up with rich men one by one?
The carriage was silent all the way until they sat in a private room of a restaurant. This time, the "interview" officially began when Miss Suzuki proposed it.
The main topic of the conversation was Orihime Inoue's household registration issue.
"Hukou?"
"Well," Sonoko poured her a cup of tea and explained, "It's not the kind of household registration that ordinary people have. This kind of thing is handled by a special supernatural agency. Inoue-san's ability is very rare, so it would be safer to go through the Minglu."
The naturally quiet and shy orange-haired girl bit her lower lip and asked softly, "So... how did you do it before?"
Sonoko thought for a moment and replied, "Before, you all were registered under the name of Urahara Shoten. Later, Kurone-chan was taken away by Yato. You are considered part of our family, so you are still here."
"Can't we continue like this...?"
"It's OK for now, but it won't be OK soon."
"What's the meaning?"
Suzuki Sonoko tilted her head and began to argue with her, "Urahara's store isn't a legitimate business. They're evading taxes, engaging in illegal smuggling, and they're always selling prohibited items. If they get caught during a raid, they'll probably be caught."
"By then, Urahara Shoten will be stripped of its guarantor status, and you'll be an illegal tenant in no time."
Seeing the seriousness of what she said, Inoue Orihime mustered up the courage to raise her hand and ask a question.
Suzuki Sonoko was very cooperative and looked like a teacher. She raised her hand and said, "Any questions?"
"I was going to say," Orihime-san pursed her lips, "Isn't Manager Urahara... an acquaintance of Suzuki-san?"
——You knew that there would be an inspection and rectification soon, and you knew that he would be in trouble. Shouldn’t you have notified him in advance? Instead, you just watched him get caught?
As she thought about this, the same question was clearly reflected in her eyes. Yuanzi was stunned by her look, and then she puffed up half of her cheek and made a "tsk" sound.
"You're overthinking it. Don't judge me by the ugly faces of ordinary capitalists," Miss Suzuki said proudly, "Coercion is the worst and lowest tactic. Our family's ancestral routine is to [keep being nice to each other], okay?
"well?"
Yuanzi waved his hand and said, "It means being open-hearted to others."
"Take Urahara-sama, for example. If I hadn't abused my power for personal gain (she added the final stamp to the anti-pornography and anti-illegal publication documents), Urahara Shoten wouldn't just lose its guarantor status. He'd have to pay the fine, including his coffin and wife's funds, and even be incarcerated."
"To improve your favorability, you need to do it within your capabilities, without being hypocritical or pretentious. As long as you put in enough effort, anyone with a sense of morality will be moved."
"Stones heated by hand are definitely safer than flames forcibly contained."
Inoue Orihime thought that although it was a bit offensive to criticize others in her heart, she always felt that Mr. Urahara had a very clear bottom line. If it were him, he would definitely take the benefits and leave - he might even pick his teeth while eating the food you gave him, complaining that the food was too sweet and choked his throat.
This worry of "Don't let anyone cheat you" is beyond words, and seeing Yuanzi, I feel a little bit of a toothache.
The eldest daughter sighed and said very arbitrarily: "Even if this matter is not clear for a while, we are picky about the attitude we use towards different people. Our family is also picky about who we are open-hearted to."
Inoue Orihime was not good at arguing with others, so she said "Oh" softly to indicate that she understood.
"So," she finally grasped the point of the conversation, "Are you going to vouch for me, Suzuki-san?"
After beeping for the entire meal time, Suzuki Sonoko nodded with satisfaction.
"This opportunity is fleeting. Taking advantage of my current high level of authority, I can skip a bunch of tedious approval procedures and directly grant you a proper psychic registration."
"There's a confidentiality level, a basic salary, and social benefits."
Inoue, now an orphan and a high school student, Ms. Orihime nodded decisively.
Fei Shiyuan is very skilled at this. Confidential contracts for workers of different levels are available on demand. Inoue Orihime contracted out the rest of her life in the time it takes to have a meal, and even received her first job commission.
After finishing work tomorrow night, I will go to Jinjing General Hospital to treat an Englishman named Kenneth.
For the rest of the day, Inoue Orihime completed a series of procedures under the guidance of Miss Suzuki. Until Higurashi and Xishan finished a dessert supper together, Miss Suzuki's imposing black car took her back to her rented house in the moonlight.
"It looks a bit shabby..."
The young lady standing in front of the car sighed incoherently. Before Inoue Orihime could figure out whether to choose [shame and anger.jpg] or [embarrassment.jpg], Suzuki Sonoko casually snapped her fingers and said, "It's not Tokiin who's in charge of accommodation. But if you don't want to transfer to Tokyo and live in the Mihashira Tower, you can continue to stay in Karakura-cho."
"I'm the one in charge now. I can approve a higher-quality 'dormitory' for you, as long as conditions permit."
The brown-haired girl narrowed her eyes and smiled. "At the very least, it has to be a busy area with bright streetlights, where a single girl wouldn't be scared to go home at night!"
Inoue Orihime was stunned by her smile and felt inexplicably touched. She lowered her head and clenched her fingers helplessly.
After returning home and lying in her familiar little bed, Inoue Orihime belatedly realized that Miss Suzuki was indeed a very considerate person...
Come to think of it, the way I interacted with Ms. Suzuki today was indeed a little different from when we met at Urahara's shop before...
Just as I was about to fall asleep, a flash of inspiration came to my mind.
[Our family's routine is to treat others with all our heart, okay?]
[To increase your favorability, you should do it within your ability, without being hypocritical or deliberate]
Thinking back now, Miss Suzuki's expression and movements when she spoke at noon are still vivid in my mind.
Inoue Orihime suddenly opened her eyes, feeling very surprised and confused.
——Has she been being tricked by the other party all night?
=====
Because he had painstakingly tricked the innocent girl for the entire night, Sonoko's face was almost frozen with laughter.
She rubbed her face and looked back at the past, feeling that her performance today was a great improvement compared to when she tricked Soma Yukihira a few months ago. Not only had her character changed a lot more naturally, but even her methods of showing goodwill were as silent as spring rain.
I'm so proud that I want to give myself a little red flower!
It was almost dawn when we returned to the Onishita Tower from Karakura Town.
She was still quite excited, but her body was beginning to feel sleepy. She had been planning to get out of the car and go back to the top floor to sleep, but before she even left the parking lot, a masked guy emerged from the shadows and knelt on one knee in front of her with a bang.
“…Something?”
The young man nodded silently: "Please move to the Nanakamado Research Institute."
Sonoko's expression flickered between confusion and hesitation, and finally the desire to sleep took over. She said tentatively, "The problem of Kenneth's damaged magic circuit... I've figured out a solution. Didn't you say the institute doesn't care about this?"
Besides, the research institute is an institution with such a high level of confidentiality...is it appropriate for her to go there?
——Before the decision to marry into the family, Suzuki Sonoko was the daughter of the Suzuki family. In an environment where daughters were not considered to have inheritance rights, her elder sister was an only child at the time. When they talked about arranged marriage, they were betrothed when she was only five or six years old.
Because she grew up in a very relaxed environment, Yuanzi did not deliberately develop the ability to judge the situation, but as an intuitive creature, she still had some instinct to grasp the scale, just like she had always listened to her parents since she was a child, and did whatever they told her to do - when she did not have enough judgment, she chose to obey without exception.
But the situation is a bit complicated now. The Golden King went to Izumo in a high-profile manner without saying anything, and took away the funny but super reliable Yatoto, leaving her with the obedient and somewhat creepy Onoshira Tower.
It felt like getting a high-end toy that I didn't know how to operate.
Yuanzi thought it would be nice to take a look at it when she had nothing to do, and just taste it to experience the feel. Her curiosity was not as strong as her possessiveness: accepting it with peace of mind did not mean that she would disassemble this big toy, which was unique in the world, into small parts and then find out what its structure was.
After all, strictly speaking, she is only the temporary owner of this "big toy", and its real owner is a humanoid weapon that can destroy a country with a single word.
Sonoko has always remembered very clearly that "the King of Gold is someone who should not be provoked."
——So she was content to be a humanoid seal, and only let herself go and acted foolishly when she was within her designated scope (such as dealing with the Fuyuki incident).
"In fact," Brother Rabbit said in a deep voice, "a very serious situation has suddenly occurred. You must go and see it."
=====
At the northeast corner of the Onjira Tower, there is the underground entrance to the Nanakamado Research Center.
Even late at night, the area is still brightly lit, but most of the institute is underground, so as long as the power supply system is not broken, there is no difference between day and night.
There is a long isolation area from the entrance to the actual research center. Suzuki Sonoko was carried down to the bottom floor by serious-looking researchers and senior executives. All that was left in front of her was a sci-fi white mass.
She didn't even have time to remember the way and arrived at her destination in a daze.
This laboratory was clearly newly tidied, and was roughly divided into three parts by the large equipment displayed. In the center of each part, there was a large cage surrounded by a light curtain wall, with a person squatting in each cage.
Suzuki Sonoko: Damn human experiments!
—Aren’t you afraid of being checked by the police for playing such a big game?!
Oh, I almost forgot, Miss Suzuki immediately regained her indifferent expression: they themselves are responsible for checking the water meter.
So what exactly is this pressing and crucial event? Has human body modification achieved initial success?
Is Fei Shi Yuan such a serious organization?!
Yuanzi appeared calm, but although he seemed to be scanning the room carefully, he didn't dare to take a close look, and just took a quick glance.
In the red translucent block (prison?) on the far left is a black-haired boy squatting quietly in a corner. I don’t know if he is asleep or not active at all.
In the blue translucent block in the middle hung a large human-shaped cocoon. The binding was one level higher than that of a straitjacket. Even the eyes were covered, and only the white chin could be seen vaguely.
As for the one on the edge——
Yuanzi's face turned serious, and his gaze, which was originally about to turn away quickly, stopped halfway, and his eyes became involuntarily deep.
"Oshitari... Yuushi?"
Isn't this her destined brother-in-law?
The accompanying expert manually corrected her questioning tone, saying, "You're not mistaken. This gentleman's registered name is Oshizu Yuushi."
In the blue block, Ozuki Yuushi, who seemed to be powerless, half-closed his eyes and looked at her in shock. The two of them were separated by a pale yellow light curtain wall, and they looked at each other in silence for the second time in a day.
Before Sonoko could adjust her expression, the black-haired child squatting in basket number one seemed to wake up, and started punching, kicking and screaming, and accurately pointed the spearhead at Suzuki Sonoko who was standing in the middle of the crowd.
He first roared angrily: "Who are you, woman?"
He saw Oshitari Yuushi in basket number three again and shouted even more fiercely, "Hyoutei's glasses, do you know her? What is your conspiracy?"
Because Sonoko initially thought he was an inactive android, the sudden commotion startled her. Subconsciously, she kept a shocked expression and turned around to ask, "Who is this guy?"
"I am Kirihara Akaya!"
He finished shouting while clinging to the light wall, then burped breathlessly. Then, his eyes flickered and he was suddenly horrified. He squeezed his entire body onto the translucent light curtain and shouted in shock at the large cocoon in the blue square in the middle: "... Minister?"
"Minister, is that you? Minister?"
Suzuki Sonoko: "Bu...what?"
The attendant explained, "Kiriyahara Akaya is a member of the Kanagawa Rikkaidai Junior High School tennis club. The person in the middle, Yukimura Seiichi, is the captain of the Rikkaidai Junior High School tennis club."
Junior high school student? !
"No," Sonoko was so shocked that she almost lost herself in the drama. "Why did you arrest these junior high school students?"
The rabbit boy who had made the report earlier immediately knelt on one knee and said that this matter was a long story.
This afternoon at the Kanei General Hospital, Yuushi Oshitari tried to follow Sonoko, but was caught on the spot by one of the accompanying bunny guys.
The Non-Time Court is a sound bureaucratic organization. It has its own mature methods of dealing with ordinary people who are almost exposed to supernatural powers, such as erasing memories and appropriate hypnosis.
Originally, Yuushi Oshitari should also enjoy such treatment.
Unfortunately, he ran into Yukimura Seiichi.
On the other side, the reason why Yukimura Seiichi suffered this unexpected disaster and was tied up in this horrible state was because he saw the scene of [Oshitari Yuushi and the rabbit mask disappearing together].
=====
Seiichi Yukimura is a very confident person, sometimes even conceited. Compared to the whitewashing words of others, he always believes what he hears and sees.
So after he was certain that Ozuki was taken away by the strange masked man and discovered that the director of pediatrics seemed to have a deeper meaning in his words, although he did not do anything rash, he secretly made up his mind to be on guard.
Around three in the afternoon, the hospital lifted its curfew, and Yanagi Renji and Kirihara Akaya rushed from Kanagawa to see him. While the two of them were looking for a doctor, Yukimura took a spare tennis ball from Kirihara's bag and carefully hid it under the bed.
Anyway, given how slow the child is, he won't notice that the bag has become lighter for a while.
——No matter whether a tennis racket can be used as a weapon, at least he felt a little psychological comfort.
The sky was just beginning to get dark and the hospital had already gone quiet. Yukimura didn't know if it was due to psychological influence, but he always felt that there were "thump thump" footsteps in the corridor, so he couldn't fall asleep. At about nine o'clock, he suddenly heard someone pushing open the door of the ward.
The head of pediatrics is here.
"That's me."
The middle-aged man who had just introduced Kirihara Akaya raised his hand to signal His Highness Suzuki.
The director of pediatrics is a senior civilian in the Golden Clan. In addition to doing scientific research, he can barely be considered a support staff member during his annual leave.
——If the Non-Time Court wants to ensure that ordinary people’s lives are not disrupted, it must keep the lid on the underground world tightly closed. An important part of its daily work is to help deal with the aftermath of various legal and illegal supernormal events.
Specific measures include repairing bridges and roads (usually blown out by super powers), replacing high-altitude glass (flying monsters like to fight in mid-air), modifying the memories of passers-by and witnesses, etc.
However, dealing with the aftermath of emergencies means that the workplace is usually at a chaotic crime scene, which means it is not easy to see the overall situation and coordinate well. Moreover, some passers-by now have high IQ and EQ, some run away early, and some are very good at pretending.
For the time being, it is impossible to determine whether the memories of all witnesses have been modified.
Therefore, after internal discussions within the Non-Time Institute, they decided to arrange some people to enter various industries. Once they find any fish that have slipped through the net, they will directly use the instruments to modify their memories!
The director's second job besides being a pediatrician is to go around talking nonsense with a memory modifier that looks like a recorder.
The middle-aged man originally just wanted to gently use the instrument to biu Yukimura, but who knew that Yukimura was the kind of passerby with high IQ and EQ. Before the director's biubiubiu even touched his neck, the long-ill-bedded but still agile junior high school tennis star had already stood up -
——Yukimura Seiichi acted decisively and pulled out his hidden tennis racket from under his pillow, picked up the small orange on the bedside table and smashed it at a tricky angle.
With a sharp click, the middle-aged man holding the instrument froze in place.
The eyes cannot see, the ears cannot hear, and the skin cannot feel.
Director of Pediatrics: What about paralyzing my five senses?!
But he was not fighting alone. The Non-Time Hospital was a strict bureaucratic organization. After waiting for a minute and seeing him not leave, the person in charge, a rabbit boy who stayed behind just in case (the one who is reporting now), climbed into the ward through the window.
As a member of the guard team, Rabbit's combat ability is naturally stronger than that of the support personnel. He knocked Yukimura Seiichi unconscious in minutes and broke the tennis racket used as the crime tool.
The head of pediatrics, recovering from his senseless state, stared at the fallen handsome boy in silence for a long time. With a stern expression, he defined, "He's an outsider."
Those outside the power refer to those with wild special abilities who have no one to guide or command them.
"He's more of a psychic type."
The young man frowned behind his rabbit mask and asked, "Illusionist?"
"almost--"
However, before the director of pediatrics could spout some professional terms to save the face of the civilian staff, the door of the ward was kicked open with a bang.
The seaweed-haired boy with black hair, white skin and green eyes raised his foot and shouted in a hurry, "Buyer, did you hide my racket secretly? Senior Liu said that my tennis bag is a little light, and the doctor has told you not to play tennis for the time being. Why are you like a primary school student who secretly hides candy beans--" and rushed into the ward with sweat all over his forehead.
Then he was faced with this bizarre scene that seemed like a murder to silence witnesses.
The bunny boy looked at the director: ...You didn't lock the door?
The director pushed his glasses calmly, thinking that he just came to bite Yukimura, which would not take more than a few seconds. If he was unlucky and got caught, he could explain it as a ward round - if he entered the ward of a beautiful boy (especially a minor) late at night and locked the door, he would look like a pervert preparing to commit a crime!
If you get caught, you'll be reported in a matter of minutes, okay?!
On the other side, Kirihara Akari was also stunned for a moment, and then he found that the victim lying unconscious on the ground was their minister. For a moment, his blood was boiling, and the huge anger and sense of responsibility consumed his reason at the same time!
The young Kirihara boy shouted angrily, "What did you do to the Buchou?!"
He shouted as he quickly pulled a racket out of his bag.
The kid wasn't stupid. He knew that having weapons was better than having no weapons, and he also knew that the minister had died heroically, so he couldn't just rush forward and die. But he was rather impulsive after all, and for a moment he only thought about saving Yukimura and Suihuo, completely forgetting that he should go back to the corridor and shout for help.
The ball came up and fell, and with a crisp bang, the powerful smash directly knocked down the clothes rack in the ward.
The head of pediatrics checked his five senses with lingering fear: nothing happened.
He thought to himself that once bitten by a snake, one becomes afraid of ropes for ten years. Those outside his power are not cabbages on the roadside. How could he possibly catch a minor? Does he have superpowers?
Then he looked up and saw Kirihara Akaya in rampage mode.
Black hair turns white, white skin turns pink, and green eyes turn red.
——"Mad, this one has a problem too!"
So the rabbit boy attacked with his hand again, knocking the kelp-haired boy, whose physical fitness had suddenly improved, to the ground, and broke the other tennis racket that he used as a weapon.
Catching two underage offenders in one day is big news for the Fei Shi Court.
In fact, until this period of time, Oshitari-kun, who fainted in the headquarters' resettlement room, was still free.
After the director and Bunny Boy brought Yukimura Seiichi and Kirihara Akaya back to Nanakamado, the assistant researcher who took over the inspection sighed and said, "What kind of luck is this today? Are there any outsiders?"
The head of pediatrics said seriously, "I suspect the feng shui of Jinjing General Hospital is a bit strange. I'd like to apply for a job at another hospital sometime."
The assistant researcher, who was young, thought he was being overly alarmed. He chuckled and said jokingly, "It's not that serious. Jin Jing actually sent three children today. Two-thirds... that's about a 60% probability. It's a bit of a coincidence, but it's not something so exaggerated as to require a change of workplace."
He looked up with a smile and met the serious face of the head of pediatrics.
"Have you examined the child?"
"well?"
"I mean the one with blue hair that was sent here before."
The middle-aged man pushed up his glasses and said in an ambiguous tone, "What if he wants it too?"
Then they went to examine Yuushi Oshizuka.
Yuushi Oshizuka is a player who is highly regarded in the junior high school tennis community.
To summarize it specifically, it is: [A genius unique to Hyotei, who hides his fiery fighting spirit in his cold eyes, is proficient in more than a thousand unique skills, and is a master with potential that is no less than Fuji Shusuke].
Key points: [Mastering thousands of unique skills].
——Based on the average level of junior high school tennis: special skills like the wave ball can knock people unconscious, serves like the soul-piercing ball can make people lose their memory, and the operating principle of the white whale return can almost help artificial satellites escape the earth's gravity.
By analogy, Oshitari-kun, who has mastered over a thousand unique skills—could he be an ordinary person?!
The navy blue boy lying on the hospital bed looks ordinary, but the state of his cells and the degree of brain development are far beyond that of ordinary people!
The assistant researcher lowered his head in shame as he looked at the detailed physical examination data.
"Senior is right, Jinjing General Hospital is indeed a bit weird."
"No, you're wrong."
The head of pediatrics showed no sign of triumph. Instead, his expression grew increasingly heavy as he said, "This isn't just a minor matter of Jinjing Hospital's feng shui being problematic..."
The memories end here.
Back at the bottom floor of the research institute, after listening to the story for a while, Suzuki-dono's face had the same expression as the assistant researcher that afternoon, a big "So what?"
The head of pediatrics sighed deeply and asked first, "How much do you know about the Dresden Slate?"
His Highness Suzuki thought to himself that in order to avoid suspicion, I would not even enter your research institute, let alone the stone slab which is guarded more than ten times more tightly.
The director didn't expect her to answer, so he slowly explained, "The Dresden Slate possesses extraordinary power. If allowed to dissipate, the energy contained within it will be released to the entire world, creating all kinds of outsiders with superpowers in a short period of time."
"Once the existing social system is destroyed by abnormal force, the world will inevitably fall into chaos."
"Over the years, the Yu family has relied on the power of the king to suppress the influence of the stone tablet as much as possible, and the scope of its influence has been repeatedly reduced. Not to mention giving abilities to ordinary people, even those who are chosen to rule the king basically only appear in the Kanto region."
"This is not the best solution, but it is the only one we can think of."
Every word is plain, yet full of true feelings.
Suzuki Sonoko thought for a moment and praised sincerely, "Thank you for your hard work."
The director shook his head, his expression growing increasingly sad. “You haven’t realized the seriousness of this matter yet.”
He pointed at Kirihara Akaya and said, "We haven't done any specific research yet, but from what Kirihara-kun has revealed, there are at least two other young men at Rikkai University High School who are as talented as Yukimura Seiichi (Kirihara's cry while being tied up was: 'I won't die until I completely defeat those three monsters!')."
Suzuki Sonoko understood a little bit now: "Do you think... there are too many children with abnormalities?"
The director nodded.
Another of the accompanying experts continued, "If this ratio exceeds a certain value, we have to suspect that the Yu family has neglected to suppress the stone tablets. The power of the world's cornerstone has been slowly urging humanity to evolve, and these three young men—"
He raised his finger and pointed, defining it with some passion: "It's proof that quantitative change has produced qualitative change."
This person has a completely different style from the head of pediatrics. Instead of being heartbroken, he actually seems to be quite expectant.
"Since it's all proven, why are they still tied up so tightly, especially the one in the middle... Yukimura-kun," Sonoko's expression was a little hard to describe: "Is it necessary to tie them up like this?"
"Psychic-type psychics are difficult to guard against."
The researcher explained, "He's an outsider, so we're not sure how he's using his magic. Based on past experience, it could be his eyes, his voice, or even the subtle movement of his hand."
"To ensure safety, this is the safest way."
Suzuki Sonoko thought what he said made sense, but said, "He's a junior high student, a fifteen-year-old kid who can't see or move...won't he have psychological problems?"
The researcher was taken aback by her and asked, "Do you know how Rokudo Mukuro is imprisoned in the Avengers Prison?"
Sonoko blinked blankly: Isn't Rokudo Mukuro staying well at her house?
The researcher clearly misinterpreted her bewilderment as a sign of "I don't know" and explained carefully, "Rokudo Mukuro is imprisoned in a sealed water dungeon at the bottom level of the Avengers Prison. His limbs are completely restrained, and his senses are completely deprived. If the thermal sensor detects his activity level exceeds a certain threshold, the dungeon will automatically inject drugs into the water and simultaneously activate the shooting device, executing him directly."
——In other words, we are still doing well.
"Besides, we also pay attention to mental health. Every once in a while, we will play soothing music for this young gentleman."
Princess Suzuki was silent for quite a long time this time, and the researcher even felt a little embarrassed. He looked at the girl's face with a frown, which was hard to tell whether it was shock or fear, and felt that the young girl's ability to accept things was really poor.
"So what do you want me to do?" Suzuki-sama, who had become inexplicably unhappy, seemed to have run out of patience and curled his lips. "Are you asking me to approve the three of them to join the Golden Clan?"
"No."
Sonoko: "...Do you still expect me to go between the stone slabs and suppress the foundation of the world?"
——This is the job of the King of Gold, right?
The head of pediatrics sighed and said tiredly, "How to deal with this matter can only be decided after the Yu family returns from Takamagahara, but at this stage, we must be prepared."
Another elderly man with a gray beard nodded in agreement: "At the very least, we need to compile detailed data to understand the extent of this 'abnormality'."
Yuanzi nodded thoughtfully: "Then we need to conduct a census..."
"But the census mostly looks at household registration records. Checking for superpowers is a tedious process, isn't it?" She shrugged. "How long will it take you to finish the search?"
The experts smiled confidently and said that they could conduct a sample survey, focusing on teenagers in the developmental stage of junior high and high school.
Sonoko brought up Teidan's situation and understood.
"Are you planning to organize a [Visit Campus] event?"
The experts shook their heads and said: No.
An old lady sighed meaningfully: "In a few days, it will be the national competition..."
No matter whether they are from junior high school or high school, sports or arts, or from which region, the semi-finals and finals are all played in Tokyo!
The samples come from a wide variety of sources, and many people appear in large numbers.
——Isn’t this a good opportunity to gather for a physical examination?
The author has something to say: It’s not just the tennis boys who will have their worldviews ruined by supernatural anime and monster anime after seeing a ghost…
These tennis teenagers who claim to be ordinary junior high school students can shatter other people's three views in a minute!
Until the Golden King died and Bishuiliu killed his way up to the Imperial Pillar Tower, the stone slabs should have been fine. The tennis players were mistaken for outsiders, and it was all their father Xu Fei's fault...
National competition copy stand by!
Let the super-powered sports boys come even harder!
During the Prince of Tennis era, it took time for Yukimura to activate the five senses destruction, which was done gradually. However, in the New Prince of Tennis, he has reached the point where he can use illusion to control people to death with just one look. The skill value here is the middle number of the two, that is, he can quickly take away people's five senses, but it must be triggered by playing tennis.
Kirihara's transformation is the red-eye state. Although Oshitari looks normal, the official book exaggerates him a bit too much. [Thousands of Special Techniques] seems to be said by Atobe himself (I forgot in the comics, but this line is Atobe's in the stage play).
Checking in on the third day of daily updates, see you tomorrow!
