Chapter 503 Why Can Birds Fly?

"Your body is not normal."

In a private clinic, Tokugawa Shizuka looked at Kamijou Touma with a serious expression, startling the high school student with a sling in his arm, who instinctively touched himself.

"Doctor, how much longer do I have to live?"

"Don't make trouble!"

Tokugawa Shizuka rolled her eyes at the other person.
"Kamijou-kun, don't you know how shocking and outrageous your actions are?"

"You mean we attacked the lab, but..."

Touma Kamijou looked puzzled, his expression seeming to say:
You did it too.

Seeing that Touma Kamijou didn't seem to be pretending to be stupid, Shizuka Tokugawa couldn't help but raise her hand to her forehead.

"You just slapped a Tiger-level expert to the ground!"

"Do you really think this is something a 'normal high school student' could do?"

Tokugawa Shizuka was, after all, the daughter of the Tokugawa family, and her strength couldn't be achieved overnight; however, she did possess various extraordinary knowledge, secrets, and keen insight.

The girl named 'Shinonome' was clearly a 'half-demon' of the Tiger level after her transformation: this kind of power is not uncommon. There are many extraordinary officers in the Japanese army, whose power comes from General Kafka.

Once the power is activated, various shapes of patterns will appear on the body.

If it goes even further, it could even result in 'demonic' limbs: for example, when Colonel Ya Bai unleashes his full power, his arm transforms into a giant sniper rifle.

Her power is said to be able to threaten Demon-level enemies, making her one of the Army's ace soldiers. Many large evil spirits have met their end at her hands.

As for the source of power of the 'Kengan Association', that is their most closely guarded secret;
However, major powers have all secretly speculated that one of the three half-demons created by Blood Hakama is missing.

Judging by the timing, it most likely fell into the hands of the Kengan Association.

"Understand?"

"You killed a Tiger-level enemy with a single slap! That was a Tiger-level enemy!"

As she spoke, even the girl with the high ponytail couldn't stay calm. How many Demon-level monsters are there in the whole world?

Tiger level is already very strong. Even her grandfather, the head of the Tokugawa family, was only Tiger level.

An old man waiting for his granddaughter to return would never have imagined that he had become a "unit of combat power" in his granddaughter's eyes.

"You definitely possess a higher level of extraordinary power!"

Tokugawa Shizuka's judgment was beyond question.

If Touma Kamijou doesn't possess any Demon-level superhuman power, how could he possibly defeat Shinonome in an instant?

Love and justice?
"Oh, I see~~"

Touma Kamijou belatedly scratched his head.
He just got angry and slapped Dongyun, and Dongyun fell down.
"What are you 'oh' about? You're even 'ah'ing me now—confess honestly, are you some kind of ancient demon reincarnated, just messing with me?"

Tokugawa Shizuka looked suspicious. If before, Kamijou Touma was just a classmate who aroused her interest, and later, when he faced the darkness of the government, he became a hero who attracted her, then now, she had to suspect that he was actually an ancient demon pretending to be young.

Although it's not impossible
"I'm innocent!"

Kamijou Touma looked grief-stricken and raised his bandaged left hand.

Have you ever seen such an unlucky thousand-year-old demon?

You brought this on yourself!
However, Tokugawa Shizuka didn't really believe this guess: the 'millennial demons' that have appeared so far are all elusive and mysterious, and even the 'Kani Hime' who looks like a little girl is actually a black-hearted girl in disguise: the hot-blooded boy in front of him seems to have no connection with those beings at all.

"So, what exactly is the source of your power?"

"actually."

Seeing that there was no way to explain, Touma Kamijou had no choice but to tell the 'truth'.

"I have lost my memory."

Seeing Tokugawa Shizuka's "You're kidding me" expression, Kamijou Touma was on the verge of tears.

“Everything I’m saying is true, you have to believe me, Jing.”

! !
"I believe you,"

The girl's expression suddenly changed in a second.

So, what exactly happened?

As he spoke, a talisman popped out and stuck to Touma Kamijou's left arm.

"This is?"

"This is a 'healing talisman,' an item that seals the 'divine healing spell.'"

As the talisman glowed green, Tokugawa Shizuka explained.

“We have to go to school tomorrow. If you have one arm in a sling, it will be easy to spot.”

This precious item is produced by the Inari Shrine and cannot be bought with money. It is a gift 'gifted' by the shrine to friendly people. Tokugawa Shizuka herself only had one, but she used it on Kamijou Touma without thinking.

When did you lose your memory?

"About two weeks ago,"

As Touma Kamijou explained, Shizuka Tokugawa gradually came to understand.

"It seems you have encountered some extraordinary inheritance, such as the 'True Spirit of a Hundred Ghosts'."

While most people who obtain the True Spirit of a Hundred Demons start at the Wolf level, there are exceptions: for example, Kafka Rikusho found the True Spirit of Ibaraki, known as the 'Demon of Rashomon,' and instantly became a Demon-level powerhouse.

Of course, the price was also high: he went berserk on the spot and almost wiped out the supernatural power that the island nation was just starting out at that time.

"Among the hundred demons, which ones can absorb spells and spiritual power?"

Frowning and thinking for a moment, the girl with the high ponytail was still clueless. "Anyway, if your amnesia is the price, then that's relatively mild. I'm afraid there might be some unknown aftereffects."

Does "bad luck count?"

Shizuka Tokugawa rolled her eyes at Touma Kamijou, who had raised his hand, and stood up.

reach out your hand,
"Let's go back."

He pulled the boy sitting on the hospital bed to his feet.

"Go to school as usual tomorrow, I'll come find you again tonight."

She needed to rush back to decipher the obtained information and investigate the anomalies surrounding Touma: she hoped the price of this power wouldn't be too high.

the next day,
Shinju Ward, Tokyo
"what?"

"Can you say that again!"

Upon hearing the report, the 'important person' sitting at the head of the table was startled.

"Yes, last night, the Cell Research Institute of Biochemical Medicine in District 4 was attacked by supernatural forces."

"It is said that the Kengan Association sent two people, both of whom were knocked unconscious by the intruders: 'Queen of Murder' Kallen and 'Star Chaser' Shinonome Rei."

???

"how is this possible?"

"Forget about Karen, Dong Yunlei is a Tiger-level expert."

Such conversations were constantly taking place in the mansions of many important figures; as the saying goes, there are no secrets in Tokyo, and many important figures had already received this intelligence without the knowledge of ordinary people: the zaibatsu, the extraordinary samurai families, and those emerging forces.

In the complex web of Tokyo, many people may be double agents, or even triple agents!

In addition, some extraordinary individuals who were unwilling to be constrained and focused on intelligence gathering spread this information throughout the extraordinary community overnight.

The fact that two Kengan Association members suffered a setback is definitely explosive news. Even more explosive is the question: why were members of the Kengan Association operating within a government-affiliated organization? Was there some secret collaboration between them? And who were the intruders? Why did they attack that research institute?
Not only did the extraordinary forces of the island nation react to the news, but foreign forces also set their sights on it.

New Bunkyo District,

It is jokingly called 'Academy City'.
More than 200,000 students live there, aiming to become 'superhumans'.

There are also many more people serving these students, and various research institutes on supernatural powers are everywhere. The achievements of any one of them are treasures that other countries covet.

Currently, only island nations dare to conduct large-scale supernatural experiments: after all, island nations have plenty of debt and no worries, and they have many supernatural experts, so they can withstand any problems that arise.

In fact, the extraordinary experiments in America were no less impressive, but—

The US has always been the one to steal people; who dares to steal them?

Besides, the fighting is fierce over there too. A few days ago, two groups of superhumans clashed in Los Angeles, setting half the city ablaze.

The extraordinary individuals simply packed their bags and left.

Millions of refugees were left staring blankly at each other.

A fire of this size, coupled with strong winds; unless God intervenes, how can it be extinguished?

A tsunami?
The entire Hollywood has been reduced to ashes;
The superheroes in movies and TV shows are ultimately not high-level superhumans, so they can only flee for their lives early on.

Now, with news of a superhuman invasion of Academy City, numerous factions have dispatched personnel to investigate, hoping to gain a share, thus creating utter chaos. The pile of documents in the Metropolitan Police Department Inspector's office has visibly grown several layers high.

"Ninja apprentice, if you leave the ninja village, what do you want to do?"

In the dream space, Master Hyakuchi, who created various 'powerful enemies' to fight against Poison Island 00001, suddenly spoke up and asked a question.

"I don't understand."

Poison Island 00001 thought for a moment, but in the end shook his head.

She was born in this laboratory and has never seen the sky. Every day, besides enduring various experiments, she drinks the 'bloodline fusion potion' and suffers excruciating pain that feels like her body is being torn apart. Those memories from 'Poison Island' have gradually become blurred, as if they were from a past life.

Strictly speaking, that could indeed be considered a memory from a 'past life'.

Under the guidance of this 'Master Hyakuchi', the 'Poison Island 00001' is becoming more and more like a real, independent person.

Aside from her appearance, her personality is almost unrelated to the original Busujima. In this respect, it is the later 'Bukushima clones' who are more like the real Busujima: they inherited Busujima's memories, were involved in 'Academy City' activities to a limited extent, were observed, experimented on, and then retrieved.

The memories were retrieved and injected into the minds of the subsequent 'Poison Island' clones.

"Then take this as your goal and pursue your own ninja way."

Wearing a straw hat to cover his face,

Master Hyakuchi spoke in a calm and steady voice.

"The day you become a ninja is the day you leave the ninja village."

"After that, you need to think about how you should live and what attitude you should have when walking under the blue sky."

"Yes, Master!"

Although he couldn't understand it, No. 00001 of Poison Island still knelt down on one knee to accept the order.

Why did the master suddenly bring this up?

Could it be——

In the dream world, the girl kneeling on one knee has learned to 'think independently'.

Has the 'turning point' the master spoke of finally arrived?
