Chapter 23

When Amamiya Keisei woke up, he saw the snow-white ceiling and for a moment thought that he had shed his pseudonymous identity and returned to his true form.

However, he did not feel the extremely familiar pain that had accompanied him for many years. Instead, he felt comfortable as if he had just had a deep and good sleep. A lazy aura emanated from his whole body, and even his bones felt soft, which made him wake up.

He blinked blankly and stared at the ceiling in a daze for a long time. He didn't feel that there was anyone around him, so he simply didn't call for anyone. He just lay there quietly and confirmed the situation with the system.

[What's going on, system? What happened after I passed out?]

[Wow, host, you are finally awake!] The system kept yelling for a long time with its inorganic mechanical sound without any fluctuations, [Host, you worried me to death——]

[Don't worry...I feel fine now. Nothing's wrong.]

Amamiya Leisheng reached out his hand from under the quilt and touched his face.

He changed into a set of clean clothes, and his face and body felt dry. He didn't know how long he had been unconscious: [How long have I been unconscious?]

The system sobbed twice: [It has been almost two days, host.]

[Using your superpowers to open the box was already enough, but you also used your superpowers to kill the attackers. The vest's body almost collapsed. My energy is not enough to support a vest that can use superpowers.]

Amamiya Reizo looked apologetic: [Sorry, system... You won't use your own reserve energy to repair my body again, right? Actually, just leave it alone. I didn't say you can use me——]

[Host, please stop talking nonsense!]

The system raised its mechanical voice, as if shouting angrily: [Really? You are the one who wants to live the most, but you are still saying these sad words! If you really die casually like this, won’t you feel unwilling?]

[If the host really doesn't care, then why did you tie me up before?]

Yu Gong is often dumb.

After a long while, he finally spoke: […Yes, you are right, it is my fault.]

If he could live, how could he want to die? He was unwilling to die every time he was close to death until the last moment when there was absolutely no other way out.

The system snorted.

[So you didn't really use up your reserve energy, did you? Are you okay? And, what about Shuji-kun?]

[I didn't.] The system sighed humanely, [Tsushima Shuji talked to the people in the Special Powers Division, and they found a healing psychic to heal the host's body.]

[Tsushima Shuji... The target of the mission is much better than the host. He was only shot in the arm and he just needs to take good care of himself. But the host's body was almost broken at the time. The people from the Special Powers Division hadn't said anything yet, but Tsushima Shuji jumped out and negotiated with them to save you.]

The system muttered: [It's amazing. Even though he knew that the host's identity was hidden, his trust didn't drop. Even when the special agent department arrived, he didn't deal with his own hands first, but let them save you first.]

[As colleagues, it is impossible for them not to save you. Tsushima Shuji was just too concerned and his mind was not clear at the time.]

"Shuji-kun...?"

Amamiya Reizo murmured in disbelief.

[The host also finds this incredible, I think so too, so I recorded a short video when he stood up, would you like to see it?]

The system has so many functions.

Amamiya Raisei said: […Look.]

The video recorded by the system was only a few dozen seconds long and was recorded using the pseudonym Amamiya Reizo. However, he had already fallen into a drowsy state at the time, and only some blurry colors and sounds could be heard.

"The box is not completely opened yet... Sir, he is so strong..."

"You...save him..."

At the beginning, they were just some intermittent words, and Amamiya Reizo could barely piece together what Tsushima Shuji meant from these words. It was probably because the box had not been completely opened by him before he fainted. It was obvious that the Special Power Department did not have a powerful psychic, so if they wanted to open it, they could only rely on Amamiya Reizo, otherwise this thing would be useless.

Amemiya Keisei listened in a trance, but the video became clearer towards the end. He could hear Tsushima Shuji's voice, weak but firm, as he spoke the last words in a hoarse voice.

"—Don't give up on him."

His thoughts drifted far away, as if they had drifted beyond the world and returned to his body.

He was very ill, so seriously ill that his parents took him to seek medical treatment everywhere, but the doctors advised them to give up on him and not let him live in such pain.

Later, his parents passed away, and he was taken away by the Special Powers Division. He has been staying in the hospital ever since. Every time he gets sick, he becomes drowsy and can always hear someone saying -

"If it's so painful, why don't you just give up?"

Yes, why? Amamiya wondered.

But it was not only his parents who wanted him to live, he himself also wanted to live. He wanted to be a healthy person and experience many things in this world that only a healthy body could experience, instead of dying alone in a bleak ward without leaving any trace of himself in this world.

What others think is their business, and what he thinks is his business. He lives so hard, not to have others say "give up" to him and deny all his efforts and sufferings.

Everyone advised him to give up, but he refused. He refused to admit defeat and was unwilling to give in. He wanted to live well. One day he would be able to leave the ward and walk in the world with his own strength.

But such a struggle also has its limits. He struggled alone for eight years, and before his death he still stubbornly bound himself to the system, trying to prolong his life... But he was actually very tired.

He didn't want to give up, but this fatigue seemed to spread out from the depths of his soul, eroding his thoughts bit by bit. Sometimes he would think that it would be better to just die.

This idea reached its peak after he experienced the life he had always dreamed of through a vest, and he naturally had the idea of ​​giving up.

However, he thought that Shuji Tsushima, who would be angry and disappointed with him, told others... not to give up on him.

Don't give up on him, he can still be saved, he still wants to live.

Amemiya Leisheng closed his eyes, clenched his teeth tightly, and a tear slid down from the corner of his eye and sank into his gray hair.

This tear seemed to have turned on a switch. He could no longer hold back the sob in his throat. He pulled the quilt over his body and covered his face with it, blocking his vulnerability for a moment.

He suddenly wanted to meet Tsushima Shuji.

Yu Gong Leisheng wiped the tears from his face and sat up on the bed. Before he could get out of bed to look for someone, someone opened the door of the ward and walked in.

"Mr. Amamiya?" The boy's voice was filled with surprise. "You're awake?!"

"Are you okay? How do you feel——!"

Amemiya Ruisheng staggered off the bed and rushed over to hug Tsushima Shuji.

Because of his height, he was almost kneeling on the ground, his hands holding the boy trembling, his fingers tightly clenched the clothes on the other's back, so tightly that his fingertips turned white.

The young man rested his forehead on the boy's shoulder, swallowing all his sobs with a rough throat, leaving only warm drops of water falling on Tsushima Shuji's shoulders, tears flowing silently.

Tsushima Shuji blinked blankly, his body stiffened, not daring to move. After waiting for a while, he felt the wetness on his shoulder, then he slowed down, slowly relaxed his body, raised his hand and gently stroked Amamiya Reizo's back, resting it weakly.

"...Sir? Are you okay?"

The boy spoke carefully, fearing that he would upset Amamiya Reizo: "It's all right now. We are in the hospital of the Special Powers Division. No one is chasing us, and we don't need to run anymore."

"Shuji-kun."

Amamiya muttered, "I'm sorry."

Shuji Tsushima: "Sir?"

"And," the young man's trembling voice revealed his inner unrest, "thank you..."

Tsushima Shuji was stunned for a moment. Although Amamiya Raisei couldn't see it from his angle, he still smiled softly and replied with a smile: "Yeah."

Amemiya Rei held the boy for a long time before he calmed down. He rubbed his eyes and let go of Tsushima Shuji. Just as he was about to ask about the situation, he saw that the bandage wrapped around Tsushima Shuji's arm was bleeding.

Amamiya Keisei looked at Tsushima Shuji, who looked calm as if he didn't feel any pain: "..."

"Why didn't you tell me that I hurt you?"

He raised his voice.

Tsushima Shuji blinked and said, "It's okay. It doesn't hurt."

"It's bleeding!" Amamiya Leisheng was about to open the door and call for help.

"It's okay," Tsushima Shuji held his hand and said with his head down, "Sir, it must have hurt more at that time."

Tsushima Shuji no longer wanted to recall what kind of scene he saw when he ran towards Amamiya Ruisei.

The gentleman he respected was already covered in blood, his eyes were bleeding, his ears were bleeding, and his mouth, which was always spitting blood, was also bleeding continuously. His long gray hair was dyed bright red and pierced straight into Tsushima Shuji's eyes.

What a terrifying color it was! This was the first time that death was so close to Shuji Tsushima.

Amamiya Reizo was stunned for a moment, then he comforted her: "But you also said that I'm fine now, I feel healthy, and it's your injury that hasn't healed yet."

Tsushima Shuji looked up at him and said, "Sir, please don't use that ability anymore."

Although he and the Special Powers Division said that only Amamiya Keisei could open the box, it was an emergency situation at the time. Now Amamiya Keisei is fine, so how could he allow Mr. to harm his body?

The only psychic he had seen so far was Kukiko, but it was obvious that using ordinary psychic powers would not result in the body being covered in blood.

Tsushima Shuji had no doubt that if Amamiya used his special abilities too much, he would die.

Yu Gong Leisheng moved his lips and agreed: "Okay, I promise you."

After getting the promise, Tsushima Shuji's expression relaxed and he allowed Amamiya Ruisei to call someone to treat his wounds.

Not only did Tsushima Shuji's wound need treatment, but Amamiya Keiichi also needed a comprehensive physical examination. After re-tying a clean bandage on his injured left hand, Tsushima Shuji followed Amamiya Keiichi closely like a little animal, observing his surroundings vigilantly.

"Shuji-kun, don't be so nervous." Amamiya Rei patted the boy's head with amusement.

Tsushima Shuji curled his lips.

The person who came to take Amamiya Reisheng for the examination was also a young boy. He wore old-fashioned black-framed glasses, had a mole at the corner of his mouth, and had a chubby face with some baby fat. In his hand was Amamiya Reisheng's examination form.

"Amamiya-sama, my name is Sakaguchi Ango. I'm here to take you for a checkup. Please follow me."

Amemiya Leisei glanced at the young boy in front of him, his eyes swept across his glasses, across the mole at the corner of his mouth, and looking at this familiar face, his mood instantly became happy.

Hey, this is Mr. Sakaguchi when he was little! He called me "senior" and he looked so cute. I really want to tease him and take a picture to show to the older Mr. Sakaguchi!

Amamiya Leisei's tone became lighter: "Okay, Ango-kun, please lead the way."

Tsushima Shuji glanced at Amamiya Reizo's expression, then glanced at Sakaguchi Ango, snorted coldly, and squeezed in between the two of them.

After looking at the furious little kid, Amamiya Reiichi coughed and asked Sakaguchi Ango, "Ango-kun is not very old, right? Are you already in the Special Ability Division at such a young age?"

If he calculated correctly, Sakaguchi Ango is only 13 years old now, three years older than Tsushima Shuji.

"I haven't officially joined yet," Sakaguchi Ango glanced at Tsushima Shuji and replied to Amamiya Reizo's words, "Because I haven't finished junior high school yet. I will officially join the Special Powers Division after I graduate from high school. Am I an intern now? I'll come here to help out occasionally."

It was rare for Amamiya Ruisei to meet an acquaintance in this similar parallel world. He was in the mood to chat and asked, "How old are you? Why are you so young? I thought the Special Forces would at least not employ child laborers, right?"

Speaking of the reason, Sakaguchi Ango raised his chin with pride. The young boy was still full of pride at this age: "I'm thirteen years old. Because I have awakened my superpowers, the Superpower Special Agent Department certainly doesn't mind me coming over to help."

Amamiya Reisei looked at the proud little Sakaguchi Ango in front of him with curiosity. The Mr. Sakaguchi he knew was already 25 years old. After experiencing the beatings of society, his whole person exuded the decadent temperament of a social animal. He didn't expect that Sakaguchi Ango was so unruly when he was a child, making people feel like he deserved a beating.

Tsushima Shuji, who had been holding back his anger, asked, "How did you awaken your supernatural powers?"

Sakaguchi Ango Ichika: "I don't know... Anyway, it just came out of nowhere - the day I dropped out of my old junior high school."

The middle school he attended before was arranged by his family, but he was very dissatisfied with it. He often skipped classes and did not study, always got zero in exams, and caused trouble everywhere. He was finally expelled from school. After that, he ran away from home to the Superpower Secret Service Department because he awakened his superpowers. The school he attends now was also arranged by them. It is located in Tokyo, the same as the headquarters of the Superpower Secret Service Department, which is convenient for him to commute to and from get off work during his internship.

The reason they came to Aomori to help this time was because what the Special Powers Division wanted to obtain was too important, and they needed Sakaguchi Ango's special powers.

Although the boy looked very tempting, he was from a noble family after all. Sakaguchi Ango still explained: "I dropped out of school, then I woke up and ran away from home."

Tsushima Shuji half-closed his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking, and then asked, "Running away from home?"

"Well, my family is in Niigata. Anyway, my personality has been like this since I was a child, and my family doesn't expect anything from me. Fortunately, there is a special agent department, so they just let me go. Although it is a bit tiring to run around, at least it is freer than at home."

Sakaguchi Ango looked at Tsushima Shuji and said, "Well, I heard that your family is from Tsushima in Aomori? It's a bit similar to my family, but it's not quite the same after all, right? I guess my story can't provide you with any reference."

It's true that the Sakaguchi family is an aristocratic family just like the Tsushima family, but because of their location, they don't have the customs of Hokkaido, so the family gets along pretty well. At least they can tolerate a character like Sakaguchi Ango misbehaving in school. As for the Tsushima family... Oh, Tsushima Shuji simply didn't go to school and hired a teacher at home.

Tsushima Shuji stopped talking.

Looking at the two children with similar family backgrounds but different situations, Amamiya Ruisei rubbed his forehead with a headache.

They say there is no harm without comparison. Tsushima Shuji finally had hope of leaving, but then he turned around and met Sakaguchi Ango. I'm afraid he will be sad, right?

"Shuji-kun..." Amemiya Rei was just about to say something to comfort him.

Tsushima Shuji tugged at the young man's clothes and shook his head gently: "I'm fine."

Others are others, he is him, there is no comparison.

But since there is a person of similar age working in the Special Powers Division, don't blame him for asking more questions. Tsushima Shuji looked at Sakaguchi Ango and saw the simplicity inside through his arrogant surface.

It seems that this person has not been in the Special Powers Division for long. The higher-ups would not let a young child do any dangerous tasks. He may just run errands and do odd jobs, and occasionally use his special powers. It is obvious that he has not experienced the hardships of society and still retains his pride.

After chatting for a while, they came to the place for physical examination.

Amamiya Leisei waved his hand and went in, leaving the two children outside.

Tsushima Shuji tilted his head, thought for a moment, and asked, "How long has Mr. Amamiya been in the Special Powers Division?"

"Hmm?" Sakaguchi Ango was looking down at the documents in his hand. Hearing what Tsushima Shuji said, he answered casually, "I'm not sure. He should be considered a veteran of the Special Ability Division. After all, this place has not been established for many years."

"I have just joined the Special Forces Department and this is my first time meeting him. I had only heard of him before. After all, I am studying in Tokyo and he is a professor at the University of Tokyo."

"If you want to ask me about Mr. Amamiya, I'm sorry I don't know either. You might find out more if you ask Chief Taneda."

He paused and said, "Of course, students at Tokyo University may know a lot about Mr. Amamiya's daily life. Why don't you apply to Tokyo University?"

Shuji Tsushima: “…………”

No, he really deserves a beating. He is only ten years old, there is no way he can get into Tokyo University now. If he gets in, how can he not know about Mr. Amamiya?

No, why did he suddenly think of relying on Tokyo University? !

Tsushima Shuji was speechless for a moment and no longer tried to talk to Sakaguchi Ango.

The inspection took more than two hours. While waiting for the report, Amamiya Keisei took Tsushima Shuji to meet Chief Taneda.

Taneda Santouko was not yet 40 years old, and had only been in office for a few years. He was in good shape, in good health, and his hair had not fallen out. Amamiya Ruisei had only seen Taneda chief on his side a few times, and when he saw this guy at first glance, he almost didn't recognize him.

"It's Ruisheng. Thank you for your hard work during this period. How is your health?" Miraculously, the age of the alias Amamiya Ruisheng is 35 years old, not much different from Taneda Santouka. This means that when Taneda Santouka looked at him and spoke to him, he treated him as a friend of the same generation.

Amamiya Leisheng felt a little awkward, and said with a forced composure: "The report hasn't come out yet, but I feel it's pretty good."

"That's good." Taneda Santo sighed, "Your health was so bad before, and you finally got better. As a result, your supernatural power has added to the burden on your body. We are all very worried about you."

Facing the concern of the elders, Amamiya Rei smiled and said, "I'm fine."

There are very few people with healing abilities, and they are basically controlled by the highest levels of the military and government. To be able to restore his body within two days, the Special Ability Service must have been under a lot of pressure, as the power of this government agency, which was established not long ago, is still a little too weak.

Taneda Santouhuo nodded: "Since the mission has been completed and the things have been obtained, you should have a good rest in the next period of time. There is no need to continue..."

Tsushima Shuji immediately grabbed Amamiya Reizo's wrist and said, "Are you going back to Tokyo, sir?"

The mission is completed, which means that Amamiya Tesei has no reason to stay with Tsushima Shuji. There are many teachers, so he can just hire another one or arrange for Tsushima Shuji to go to school.

Of course Amamiya Reizo will not go back. Since his system mission has not failed, he will definitely continue to stay with Tsushima Shuji.

But before he could say no, Taneda Santoka looked at Tsushima Shuji who had a hostile look on his face and smiled: "Why? Shuji is reluctant to let go of Ruisheng? Is it because Ruisheng is too talented to be a teacher? He is very popular at the University of Tokyo."

Tsushima Shuji pursed his lips and applied more force to his hands.

Taneda Santouhuo said with a smile: "You pinched your teacher and hurt him."

The boy quickly let go of his hand as if he had been electrocuted, and then carefully wrapped his arms around Amamiya Rei's wrist.

"Since Shuji likes you so much, how about Reizo continuing to follow him?" Taneda Santoka had a good impression of Tsushima Shuji. He laughed and looked at Amamiya Reizo, "What do you think?"

Amamiya was helpless: "Of course you can."

Tsushima Shuji looked at him with bright eyes.

"Shuji is a good kid," Taneda Santoka said, "As a companion of the Special Forces, we will do our best to save you. I think Shuji knows this, but the situation was too chaotic at the time, and he didn't realize this for a while, and he even tried to negotiate with us to force us to save you."

Amemiya Keisei learned this from the system, and when he heard what Taneda Santouki said, he couldn't help but put his arm around Tsushima Shuji's shoulder.

The boy was a little embarrassed and lowered his head, unwilling to face the face of the farmer.

"Well, sir...well..." Tsushima Shuji said in a low voice.

"The things have been taken out." Taneda Santoka explained Tsushima Shuji's doubts, "When I applied for a healing psychic for Ruisei, I also applied for a psychic with strong offensive power. You don't have to worry about your husband getting hurt by using his psychic power."

Tsushima Shuji relaxed visibly.

Amamiya Raisei asked curiously, "What exactly is that? Can it really make wishes come true?"

"Yes, and maybe not." Taneda Santoka motioned for them to follow and took them to see, "We call the universal wish-granting machine a 'book' because it looks like a blank book, but what we got is not a whole 'book', but a page of it."

"The legend of the 'Book' can be traced back to the appearance of supernatural powers in the world, but no one has ever seen its true form, so when the pages of the book appeared in the world, everyone was actually skeptical about it."

Amamiya Raisei figured it out: "So until we confirm that it can really make wishes come true, everything is still just a legend."

“Yes.”

Taneda Santoka nodded and opened a heavily password-protected room: "We have temporarily preserved the pages with materials that can block supernatural powers. We will send them to the headquarters in Tokyo soon, and then we will plan to have people conduct research experiments on the pages."

When Amemiya Keisei brought Tsushima Shuji in, they saw a blank piece of paper lying flat in a box made of transparent material. It was the same size as an ordinary page of a book, and there were no words on its snow-white surface. It lay there quietly, like an ordinary piece of white paper.

"It looks very ordinary..." Amamiya Leisei murmured.

"Indeed, but it is certainly not an ordinary thing."

Taneda Santou sighed, thinking that countless people had died over the years just to get this thing.

People are greedy, and even if it is just a vague legend, countless people will rush to it.

Amemiya Ruisei lowered his eyes and thought of Masada Yoshiko's family.

"Can I take a closer look at it?" Tsushima Shuji asked.

Taneda Santouki looked at Tsushima Shuji: "Of course - come to think of it, you said before that you resonate with the pages of books, what's that about?"

"I don't know." Tsushima Shuji frowned in distress, "Not long ago, I didn't even know about the existence of superpowers."

Amamiya Raizo quickly added, "We found the pages in the river, but I found nothing when I went into the water, but Shuji-kun did. When we went to look for it at night, Shuji-kun seemed to have seen something."

If this news were known to other people, they would probably use Tsushima Shuji as a treasure hunting machine. However, Amamiya Keisei still had great trust in the character of Taneda Santouki, and facts proved that he did not disappoint them. Tsushima Shuji only mentioned this matter to Taneda Santouki, so only the three of them who were present knew about it.

"If that's the case..." Taneda Santoka pondered, "It could be because your unawakened supernatural powers are resonating with the pages of the book."

"The pages of the book themselves are supernatural items, so it's not surprising that there are reactions between supernatural powers. I'm afraid your supernatural power is very compatible with the pages of the book." Taneda Santouki also asked the supernatural users accompanying the operation to try it, and the pages of the book did not react at all.

Amamiya Keizo was thinking that Tsushima Shuji and "books" were both pillars of the world, but when Taneda Santouki mentioned it, he suddenly realized that as a pillar of the world, Tsushima Shuji should also have supernatural powers, right?

The young man looked at the boy next to him with some anticipation, wondering what Shuji-kun's special ability would be like.

"Come up and take a look." Taneda Santouki motioned Tsushima Shuji to come forward.

The boy walked towards the pages without hesitation. Even though the pages were now enclosed in a material that isolated supernatural powers, they still reacted differently when Tsushima Shuji approached them.

When Tsushima Shuji placed his hand on the box, the pages began to glow, flickered a few times, then dimmed and returned to their original appearance.

"Maybe we need to wait until Shuji's supernatural powers awaken."

Taneda Santouko looked at the instrument beside him that was monitoring the fluctuations of supernatural powers. The values ​​on it jumped only once and then returned to calm.

Tsushima Shuji withdrew his hand and stared at the pages inside.

Amemiya Reizo felt relieved. As long as Tsushima Shuji could resonate with the pages of the book, he would not have to worry about the Supernatural Special Service Department not being able to protect him.

"Captain of the Farm..." The young man looked at the fire on the farming mountain.

He could probably talk to the other party about Tsushima Shuji.

Taneda Santoka shifted his attention from the numbers to Amamiya Teishi, then glanced at Tsushima Shuji and said, "Let's leave first."

The three of them left the room where the pages of the book were placed and returned to Taneda Santouki's office.

Just as Amamiya Reizo sat down and had not yet explained the situation, he saw Taneda Santouki take out two documents from the drawer and handed them to Tsushima Shuji.

"Shuji, I think you have also met Sakaguchi. Your situation is similar, but also opposite. I think it is better to let you make the decision." Taneda Santoka said, "I have already talked to your father. These are the two agreements we got after discussion. You are free to choose which one."

Tsushima Shuji was stunned, looked at Amamiya Ruisei, and after getting a confirmation, he took it.

Taneda Santoka continued to explain: "Your ability is destined to be very special. Even if your supernatural power cannot be awakened, your intelligence and courage are enough to make you supported. The Supernatural Special Agent Department will never give up a talent, but I think your intelligence can make you understand our difficulties."

"The power of the Special Forces is not strong enough, and it is restricted by the politicians above. Your father is quite powerful. Even if it is a hindrance to the special forces, he will not conflict with us, but it does not mean that he will let them go easily."

The Sakaguchi family simply didn't mind, otherwise Sakaguchi Ango wouldn't have left home so easily.

"I don't think you would want your father to know that you are special, so we can only start from other aspects. The conditions we negotiate also have many restrictions, but in general, as long as you can grow up safely or awaken your superpowers, you can be free."

Tsushima Shuji opened the document in his hand.

The first one he saw was that he would remain in Aomori and live his previous life. He could not leave Aomori, but his father would not do anything to him anymore. Amamiya Keisei would follow Tsushima Shuji as the supervisor and teacher of the Special Powers Department.

The other possibility is that he will leave Aomori and go to Tokyo to study. In this case, Amamiya Keisei will not need to be by Tsushima Shuji's side all the time and can complete other tasks. When necessary, Tsushima Shuji will also need to help the Special Powers Department with some work. When the Tsushima family needs him, he still has to return to Aomori to help.

One option is to still be under the surveillance of the Tsushima family, but he can grow up peacefully. The other option is to be under the surveillance of the Special Powers Department, with a certain degree of freedom, but also with corresponding obligations. For a ten-year-old child, life will be extremely difficult.

Because the head of the Tsushima family did not know about Tsushima Shuji's specialness, he dared to place him in Tokyo. If he knew, I'm afraid Tsushima Shuji would only choose the first one, and might not even take out this agreement.

At first, Tsushima Shuji didn't care too much whether he was in Aomori or Tokyo. When he saw that Amamiya Ruisei didn't need to follow him all the time, the corners of his mouth curved down.

He asked Taneda Santoka, "If I go to Tokyo, will I not be able to follow you, sir?"

"Rei has other work to do. There are many things to do in Tokyo. Even if he doesn't go to the University of Tokyo to attend classes, he still has a lot of things to deal with. Naturally, he can't continue to be your teacher alone." Taneda Santouko said, "So you will be assigned to a school. With your academic progress, you may be assigned to the junior high school that Sakaguchi is currently attending."

"But don't worry, Lei Sheng will still be the guardian of the Special Powers Department, and you can live with him." No matter what, it is impossible to let a ten-year-old child live alone.

It's just that the time they spend together may be drastically reduced. In the morning, Tsushima Shuji goes to school and Amamiya Tessei goes to work. When Tsushima Shuji comes back from school, Amamiya Tessei may still be working overtime.

Tsushima Shuji pouted: "My father might ask me to go back to Aomori, right? If I come back, can I still go back to Tokyo?"

"Don't worry, of course it's possible." Taneda Santouko assured, "Both agreements can guarantee that you will graduate from high school. If you don't awaken your superpowers by then, and you are admitted to university, the Superpower Special Service Department can support you to complete your work while studying. If you awaken your superpowers before graduating from high school, you will need to start working in advance, just like Sakaguchi."

In any case, there are various restrictions.

Tsushima Shuji thought about it, then turned to Amamiya Ruisei and asked, "Where do you think I should stay?"

He didn't care about work or anything like that, and he knew that if he wanted to gain power in a government agency, he needed to demonstrate his abilities. The problem was that if he went to Tokyo, he would have less time to spend with Amamiya Teisei.

Amamiya Leisheng pursed his lips.

Of course, he wanted to spend more time with Tsushima Shuji, and it would be safer to stay in Aomori, but compared with these two agreements, it was obvious that going to Tokyo was the best option.

If Tsushima Shuji stayed in Aomori until he reached adulthood, he would be restricted in many things. Tokyo is bigger and the world he is exposed to is wider. He should not give up these things that would allow him to grow just for a little time together and a stable life.

Amamiya Keisei looked at Tsushima Shuji. The boy still trusted him as much as before, as if he would agree with whatever he chose.

"I originally thought..." Amamiya Leisheng said after careful consideration, "I would be satisfied if you could grow up healthily."

He originally just wanted Tsushima Shuji to get the protection of the Special Powers Division and not be involved in danger again, but Taneda Santoka valued Tsushima Shuji very much and offered such conditions: one is to grow up steadily and step by step, just as Amamiya Keisei thought at the beginning, and the other is to grow up in the danger that may be faced at any time and survive in a wider world.

And now——

Amemiya Keisei reached out and touched Tsushima Shuji, his hair slipping through his fingers. He felt exceptionally calm, yet a hint of anticipation rose in his heart.

This is his student, someone important to him. How could he restrict this person to a small place like Aomori just because of his own selfish desires?

"But Shuji-kun, I don't think you are the kind of person who is afraid of danger and trouble."

Amamiya Rei chuckled: "I want you to grow up healthy, and I also want you to... become a dazzling person."
