Chapter 128 Extraordinary Files
"Master, what do you think of my move?"

On a giant bird soaring through the air, a single shot annihilated a synthetic beast equivalent to a 'genin', and Yura Hanakain eagerly boasted to Yu about her achievement.

"That's right, but..."

Yu hesitated, then said, "'Yellow Springs Funeral Water Cannon Gun' - Are you the Fourth Hokage?"

You've given a 'Water Wave Breaker' such a long name; anyone who didn't know better would think it's some kind of forbidden move.

Unlike typical Water Release techniques that rely on impact to injure enemies, Yura Keikain's technique, performed with the aid of her summoned beast, primarily utilizes the cutting power of high-pressure water to slice the synthetic beast in half from the side. Its power is considerable, but the trade-off is that it's the only ability she possesses.

"The methods are too simplistic,"

As the mentor, Yu gave serious feedback.

"This kind of straight-line attack is easy to dodge, but once someone closes in front of you, it becomes very difficult to execute."

"It's alright, I can train other 'shikigami'."

Yura, the young girl, was prepared for this.

"Lian Zhen will be in charge of ranged attacks, and I plan to train another melee character, 'Greedy Wolf,' as well as a defensive character, 'Giant Gate.'"

"Lian Zhen, Tan Lang, Ju Men... Are you trying to complete the Big Dipper constellation?"

Despite the complaints, Yu did acknowledge the girl's method.

By fusing seven different elemental summons into one through the 'Oni-Garara', one can avoid the possibility of collapsing under its own power and attempt to fuse the power of a bloodline limit through the 'Oni-Garara'. In a sense, this is also a way to break through to the Kage level.

Of course, Yuluo has only just bred one 'water-type' goldfish: Lianzhen.

I wonder when the seven-in-one thing will happen.

The two rode a giant black bird over barren mountain peaks, past scattered demons, and soon came upon a battlefield:
A large number of bastards were besieging an army: under the cover of several mountain armored vehicles, soldiers sprayed bullets into the sky, sweeping away the bastards mixed in with the 'illusions'; armor-piercing bullets whistled past, aiming at the large synthetic beasts that had been fused together.

The demons were not to be outdone; once they broke into the army, it would be a bloodbath.
The massive synthetic beast charged forward despite being hit by bullets, and even armored vehicles could overturn it.

However, there were also a few agile and fierce men wielding cold weapons mixed in with the army.

They're clearly people who have used 'supernatural drugs'.

The most striking figure was a middle-aged man in a blue samurai outfit, wielding a samurai sword made of a special alloy. With swift and decisive strokes, he firmly defended a large area. He hacked away at the demons, sending their flesh and bones flying and amber-colored bodily fluids scattering everywhere, yet he was utterly invincible.

"It is the head of the Yagyu family."

As they were both from an 'ancient family', Yura recognized the other party at a glance.

In an era without supernatural powers, the 'Yagyu Shinkage-ryu' could only fight one-on-one with weapons; it would be defeated when faced with a spear.

However, after acquiring extraordinary power, the 'Yagyu family head' below moved with agility and moved with clean, decisive movements. His alloy katana was several times stronger and heavier than a normal sword. Only an extraordinary being could wield it so freely, the blade stirring up gusts of air, so fierce and sharp that even the Self-Defense Force soldiers trembled with fear.

"What a sharp and skillful 'Yagyu Shinkage-ryu' swordsmanship!"

Yura couldn't help but admire the swordsmanship of the middle-aged man below;
Although he doesn't possess any extraordinary abilities, he has a ferocious nature that can cause bloodshed on the battlefield within five steps!

"There's no need to envy others, Yura. Our Yin-Yang techniques have their own unique aspects."

Yu knew how strong the guys below him were, after all, they were his subordinates.

"Come on, let me see where your limits are."

"Yes, master!"

Unlike other girls, Yura comes from a family of Onmyoji (yin-yang masters), and has been exposed to these mystical things since childhood.

If there were still some doubts before, now it's "Rebuilding the glory of Onmyoji is our duty!" They usually train very hard, and now that they're here, they're completely in a "fighting, so exhilarating!" state.

Yu was quite pleased. If everyone were like Yuluo, wouldn't their proficiency increase by leaps and bounds?
"Water cannons for the funeral procession to the underworld!"

With a soft shout from the girl, the goldfish that had merged with her right hand spat out another jet of water, sweeping across the battlefield like a high-pressure water jet.

Well, that's the level of naming I'm talking about. Oh well, it doesn't really matter anyway.

Pfft

A water column descended from the sky, sweeping across the battlefield and splitting the demons in its path in two.

Even an unfortunate chimera had its hind limbs severed, instantly reducing its agile movements, and it died immediately under the gunfire.

"They're just passing through, superhumans."

"Great! Everyone, keep it up! The reinforcements have arrived!"

The Self-Defense Force soldiers were overjoyed to receive the help from the sky and cheered each other on.

As for whether they are reinforcements or not? Anyone who kills demons is one of our own.

That is?

'Yagyuu Hara Shige,' who was wielding his sword and slaughtering the demons, looked up and scanned the sky.

The Onmyoji of the Hanakain family.

Although Yu calls himself a 'spellcaster', other people in the island nation are still used to calling those with supernatural abilities who use spells 'Onmyoji'.

The existence of Kakaiin Yura and her 'master' Yu is absolutely well-known in the supernatural community.

They possess family secrets and training methods, far surpassing those extraordinary individuals who only have one or two abilities.

"Roar----"

Just as the middle-aged warrior looked up at the sky, more than a dozen demons had merged into a 'synthetic beast' with eyes all over its body, and roared as it charged toward him.

trouble
With Yagyu Hara's strength, killing this chimera would be a piece of cake.

However, he cannot reveal his true strength, because he is not Yagyu Hara Shige!
His real name was Onoda, and he was a 'puppet master' who was besieged by America and died by self-destruction.

After being pulled back from the underworld by 'Blood Hakama' and 'killing' Yagyu Hara Shige's soul in the mental space, he took his place and became the new 'Yagyu Hara Shige'.

Having learned from his first death, he lay low for so long and finally seized the opportunity to become a superhuman again; he infiltrated the island nation's government departments and became a 'kendo family' that cooperated with the Metropolitan Police Department.

call out----

Just as Yagyu Harashige was 'no match' for the chimera and was about to retreat, a jet of water swept across and cleaved the chimera in half.

When the girl nodded to him, Yagyuhara Shigeya nodded back slightly in return.

But in his heart, he was calculating what would happen if they became enemies.
"Be careful, Yuluo."

"That head of the Yagyu family exudes a murderous aura."

?

"Master, isn't it normal to have killing intent on this battlefield?"

Yu shook her head slightly at the girl's blank question.

"Fool,"

"That murderous aura is aimed at you."

? !
"Remember, your enemies are not only extraordinary beings, but also other extraordinary individuals, and..."

government.

As the surrounding demons were drawn to the two in the air, Yu controlled the giant black bird, fighting and retreating, while he carved out a 'battlefield' on the side to test the power, duration, and energy consumption of Yura's 'Shikigami Fusion'.
And in the Self-Defense Forces.

Snapped,

A resounding slap made the soldiers, who were engaged in fierce fighting, turn their heads in surprise.

However, once they saw who was hitting them and who was being hit, they all turned their heads away without leaving a trace.

"waste!"

Yagyu Hara Shige, who had retreated back into the army formation, coldly looked at the young man whose cheeks were swollen and blood was flowing from his mouth and nose after being slapped by him.

"Pick up the knife and get out there to kill the enemy!"

"Father, I can't do it."

He fell to the ground.

The young man, who was covering his face, had tears welling up in his eyes.

It wasn't just because of the pain, but also because of the huge 'changes' my father had undergone during this time.

He used to give him money whenever he wanted, and would quietly clean up his messes whenever he got into trouble. But after his own house suffered a 'gas explosion' recently, he coldly started training him in swordsmanship. Now...
With a whoosh, the cold blade pressed against the young man's neck, making him stiffen.

"If you can't do it, I'll cut you down."

"The extraordinary era has arrived. If you can't prove yourself useful, I won't hesitate to expel you from the ranks!"

In peacetime, such things would certainly be forbidden; but in this 'supernatural era,' how can a superhuman commit murder be punished the same as an ordinary person?

To put it bluntly, if superhumans and ordinary people were judged the same way, other countries would be laughing all the way to the bank. They could just send a few reckless thugs to stage an accident and cripple the island nation, making a fortune!

If Yagyu Hara Shige is determined to purge his own ranks, the government can at most say: "Go ahead and kill him behind closed doors, just don't let the blood splatter on the streets."

No, it should be to help Yagyu Harashige close the door and ask him if he needs a 'stepson'.

???

Looking up to meet his 'father's' cold gaze, feeling the warmth on his neck and the blood already flowing from it, the young man roared and stood up:

Wielding his katana, tears and snot streaming down his face, he charged toward the demons.

It's better to die at the hands of a monster than to die by my father's sword, isn't it?

"idiot,"

He hadn't run more than a few steps when he tripped and fell to the ground.

Have you forgotten everything I taught you before?

"Stand firm, grip your weapon tightly, look directly at your enemy, and then swing your blade and kill him!"

"If you can't even do something this simple, what's the point of your life?!"

".yes."

The young man, who had been repeatedly defeated, gritted his teeth and stood up. Pain mixed with anger gradually gave rise to a bit of 'killer intent' in him.

"Ahhh-"

As he let out a mutated roar, the young man charged toward a demon in front of him.

Swing the knife!

Wakayama,
Extraordinary individuals come here to hone their skills, the military accumulates experience in fighting extraordinary beings, while the 'Foreign Legion' seeks to profit from the war. Even the Metropolitan Police Department takes the opportunity to gather a large amount of intelligence about the existence of extraordinary beings.

"Igotani Dai has also demonstrated another ability: freezing paper dolls in place!"

"Record it and enter it into the database."

Countless drones filled the sky, and the cameras worn on the helmets of Self-Defense Force soldiers silently recorded everything.

If it weren't for the 'bloody hakama' creating a large number of dark clouds that have been constantly looming over Wakayama Prefecture, satellites from the island nation and the United States would have loved to concentrate all their resources here, studying every valley and every inch of land meticulously a dozen times over.

For the staff in the Metropolitan Police Department's 'archives', these past few days have been a mix of joy and pain.

The joy comes from the fact that during this period, a large amount of information about extraordinary beings has been continuously collected and archived: normally, the abilities of extraordinary beings are kept secret and hidden from others; but once on the battlefield, how many people can still hide their abilities in the heat of battle?

Therefore, regarding this extraordinary information: from the most basic movement speed, explosive power, and physical strength; to the duration of the ability, the range of influence, and its weaknesses, etc.
They were all secretly collected by the Metropolitan Police Department.

As for suffering:

The more you know, the faster you die!

All personnel involved in the 'archives' have had signal generators implanted in their bodies;

Family members are under government surveillance and control; if they show even the slightest sign of wanting to 'betray' someone, they will simply disappear without a trace.

Not only them, but even their relatives! From the day they joined the 'Archives', they were told that there was no room for complacency.

This is information about extraordinary beings. If it were obtained by other countries, whether they used it to deal with these beings or as a bargaining chip for recruitment, it would cause a huge uproar.

Therefore, in a sense, their department 'does not exist'. But the moment they joined, there was no such thing as 'retirement'; all that awaited them was to work until death, taking these secrets to their graves.

Only authorized personnel can access the relevant information.

And among such people, Director Zhu Ya is naturally one of them.

"As expected of an Onmyoji family,"

Once again, Director Zhu Ya looked at the images in front of her in the archives with envy, filled with admiration.

"Exploding paper doll, frozen paper doll, substitute paper doll."

The Yin-Yang arts performed by the Isogai siblings using classic paper dolls alone made Director Takeya extremely envious.

Not to mention, the two children also possess portable spaces like 'sealing scrolls,' allowing them to easily carry large quantities of supplies.

They and their 'Isoya Family' armed personnel were very active on the battlefield, capturing a large number of Bishoun and Chimera and handing them over to the government.

Then they would exchange these supplies for ammunition and other materials from the government, and also—

The SANAA architectural design firm has traveled to 'Isoya Village' and taken on the task of building a massive 'village' for the Isoya family, including various training grounds and public recreational facilities.

These two kids are not just talking; they're actually doing it.

But the government doesn't dare to turn against them.

"These paper figures, if only we had them too."

Iori Kazuka also showed an envious expression: the screen flashed, and members of the 'Isoya Family' wearing exoskeleton armor flew forward and slapped the 'Stunning Paper Doll' onto the chimera.

The synthetic beast, whose combat power was equivalent to that of an armored vehicle, immediately fell into a daze and was obediently tied up and dragged away.

"What a pity, this is someone else's family secret technique."

Director Zhu Ya couldn't help but sigh.
"No, these 'paper figures' should be the foundation of Yin-Yang magic."

Iori Kazuka pointed to the screen next to her, which displayed other battle footage compiled by the archive staff:
Throwing out 'exploding paper dolls' to kill Yura, Sora, and the class monitor of Biyou.

"What a waste,"

Seeing Qiong Mei repeatedly throwing the 'exploding paper dolls' into empty spaces, Director Zhu Ya looked pained.

These 'exploding paper figures,' while possessing power comparable to hand grenades, are undeniably 'extraordinary items,' far surpassing others in terms of concealment, convenience, and uniqueness. And yet, they've been wasted.
"That was made by someone else's brother, it's not yours."

After her usual rant with her boss, Iori Kazuka's gaze fell back on the screen.

"This is the latest intelligence,"

"Kasakain Yura has her own 'shikigami' and has already put it into actual combat."

On the screen appears a girl riding a giant black bird, her right hand fused with a goldfish, constantly unleashing verbal attacks. Iori Kazuka calmly analyzes:

"It's not hard to see that 'shikigami' is a technique that Yu-kun, or rather the 'Ashiya' lineage, excels at."

Not to mention Yu, all her fighting methods involve drawing with her fingers to summon giant black birds, falcons, and other 'shikigami' to fight.

His younger sister, Sora, mainly fights using the spider-girl, or rather, the 'Jorōgumo', who is like a doll; while his childhood friend, Nao, whom he is very close to, summons the concubines of 'Hakuzō-sū-sama' to help him.

Even his disciple, Yura Keikain, has cultivated her own 'shikigami'.

"The Igoya siblings are skilled in various elemental spells."

Flames and gales. The siblings can unleash wide-range attacks through hand seals, clearly indicating that they are magic-based damage dealers.

But no matter which one it was, they all made these 'manufactured superhumans' extremely envious!
Iori Kazuka has been researching 'self-created skills' for so long,
It's just a skill that others can easily acquire.

Unbelievable!
"Yihua, do you think I could also become an apprentice?"

"At your age, how can you kneel down? Director, I never knew you were so shameless!"

If she can learn Yin-Yang techniques, then Director Zhuya would certainly kneel down.

Unfortunately, most people don't know how to teach.

"Tsk,"

"This era is too harsh on us 'ordinary people'."

"Ah, right, right, right~~"

Iori Kazuka didn't want to say much about her boss, who was secretly researching 'self-created skills'.

If even a high-ranking official in the rear complains about being harsh, how are ordinary soldiers supposed to survive?
