A person in Tokyo becomes a demon god

Chapter 129 A Day in the Life of Inoue Kaoru

Bunkyo District,
Tokyo University Affiliated Junior High School.

As the name suggests, this place directly connects with the resources of the University of Tokyo;

Its university entrance rate has consistently ranked among the top in island nations, and it is particularly renowned for its science competitions and academic research projects.

Now, the focus is on vigorously promoting the development of 'sports courses', recruiting a group of students with sports specialties, and various sports-related 'clubs' are flourishing.

So when the 'specially admitted' Inoue Kaoru stepped into the classroom, she saw a group of people sweating profusely while holding dumbbells;

A young woman who actively works out.

That's right, it's a dumbbell.

In order to adapt to the 'new era', the island nation's Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology has urgently passed a proposal from the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, allowing—no, requiring—students to bring fitness equipment to school!
It may seem absurd, but it is indeed meaningful: as the saying goes, when faced with a supernatural disaster, all you need to do is run faster than everyone else.

To put it even more negatively, there's a third of the population who are over 65 years old.

We can't possibly be worse than these guys, can we?
And the dumbbells themselves,

It is also a blunt weapon for self-defense.

Unfortunately, nobody knows where or when a supernatural disaster will occur.

"Kaoru, why do you look so listless?"

Just as Inoue Kaoru sat down in the back row by the window, a ponytail-wearing girl carrying dumbbells and repeatedly lifting them walked over.

"You're just the obedient type, don't turn into a 'sinister' one."

The term "negative character" refers to a gloomy or sullen person in the class who is also likely to become a target of bullying.

According to statistics from Japan's own Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, there are over 65 bullying incidents in schools each year; and this is only the recorded cases, with the number likely much higher. The label of "bully" is hardly a good sign, however:
"Stop fooling around, Yuka."

My sister had a bit of an accident.

Kaoru Inoue, slumped over the table, exuded a gloomy aura.

? !
"What--"

"Xiao Xun, what's wrong with Kaori-neechan?"

This attracted attention not only from the girl with the ponytail who was lifting weights, but also from other junior high school girls who turned around and gathered around.

Kaoru Inoue has a well-behaved personality, and if you have to say, she does have some 'negative' traits; but she is Kaori Inoue's younger sister, so who would dare to bully her?

I don’t want to live anymore!

Rather, everyone was very friendly to Inoue Kaoru, who had transferred to the school.

Even if they don't carry out the task of "befriending Inoue-kun" assigned by her parents, at least they won't deliberately make things difficult for her.

"Ah, it's really not a big deal."

All her classmates knew that her older sister was a 'supernatural being,' and Inoue Kaoru thought for a moment:
"My sister has gone on a mission and won't be back for a while."

"Oh~~"

"That's it, I understand."

The other junior high school girls quickly realized what was happening.
"Kaoru is worried about her older sister, isn't she?"

“My dad is a supernatural special police officer, and I’m always terrified when we go on missions.”

"There's nothing we can do about it; it's just the way things are these days."

The other students all 'felt the same way'.

This is the junior high school affiliated with the University of Tokyo. The students here are all top students, and their families are naturally well-off.
In order to 'take care' of Inoue Kaoru, who was transferring schools, the students present were all either rich or noble.

"Let's not talk about these unhappy things. We have a physical fitness test today."

Someone deliberately changed the subject.

"A physical fitness test,"

Upon hearing this, the girls all sighed in despair.

Exercising is no fun; it makes you sweat buckets every day, and most importantly:

"Is Kaoru the first place winner?"

"You can remove the '吧' from the question mark, it's so annoying~~"

In the eyes of these girls, Inoue Kaoru was undoubtedly number one. The key point is:

"Kaoru, I haven't seen you train at all."

"Why are your arms so thin?"

Kaoru Inoue blushed and pushed away her classmates who were groping her.

"I also attended classes diligently,"

"That's the problem!"

The girl with the ponytail put down the dumbbells. She was straightforward and didn't mince words like her classmates.

"Kaoru, you just focused on your studies, and yet you surpassed us?"

"Let's be frank."

"Which one of you here doesn't go home and practice extra?"

This is the supernatural age; even the most doting parents can't afford to slack off on training.

It should be said that the more serious and responsible a family is, the more intense their training becomes. As long as they don't cause any problems, they train like crazy: the amount of exercise they do is almost on par with that of professional athletes.

What are the hottest professions right now?
It's not civil engineering for urban reconstruction, nor is it the military industry operating at full capacity; rather, it's a 'gym' that guides physical exercise.

"Huh? You all—"

The girls nodded.

"But I don't know either. Maybe it's because of my sister?"

After thinking about it,
Kaoru Inoue offered this explanation:
"According to the Paranormal Studies course, staying near supernatural beings increases the probability of becoming a supernatural being?"

Regarding 'ki', experts from the island nation have confirmed its existence; at the same time, they have learned from the Machii family how to escalate 'being beaten'.

If the fist of a supernatural being can turn an ordinary person into a supernatural being, then will being around a supernatural being also subtly influenced?
"That makes sense,"

"Damn it, why don't I have a supernatural older sister?"

"In this era, only becoming a supernatural being is considered 'successful'."

The middle school girls sighed, accepting Kaoru's explanation. In fact, it wasn't just Kaoru; the others also felt the same way.

"Nanchuan, a senior from Class 2, has broken the 11-second barrier in the 100-meter dash!"

"Class 3 is awful, the competition is so fierce!"

Be content.

Despite the envy and jealousy of her classmates, the girl with the ponytail continued to lift weights.

"According to the government's explanation, Tokyo is the center of the 'Reiki revival,' so it is easy to break through the limits."

Like that senior from Nanchuan in Class 2, what does 11 seconds in the 100 meters mean? Even national-level athletes only run 12 seconds, which is top-level for the Olympics. The women's 100-meter world record is only 10.49 seconds—of course, that was in the past. Now even middle school students like them can run 11 seconds. Those supernatural beings can even chase cars on foot, instantly trampling the limits of thousands of years of human history under their feet.

Then, without even looking, he sped off, leaving everyone else in the dust!
"Yes, land prices in Tokyo have reportedly risen by another 30%."

This is only because Tokyo experiences frequent 'supernatural disasters'; otherwise, the land prices would be unimaginable.

"Speaking of land prices, Kyoto is even more terrifying, isn't it?"

Since they were all middle school girls, the topic quickly veered off to other things.

"Land prices over there have doubled!"

"Moreover, the people of Kyoto themselves set up a 'maintenance committee,' and people from other places have to undergo repeated reviews before they can enter."

At this point, the girls made no attempt to hide their hostility.

island nations of Kanto and Kansai
They've always disliked each other.

Now, Abe no Seimei's 'Twelve Shikigami' are causing trouble everywhere, but they've deliberately avoided Kyoto.

This made the people of Kyoto immediately "stand up." Although they dared not openly proclaim the deeds of "Lord Seimei," the implication was clear: they were all noble people of Kyoto, and what were these commoners begging for food here?

How could the people of Tokyo not be furious!
"By the way, I have some new 'goods' here, are you interested?"

?

Amidst the questioning gazes of the other girls,
A 'sturdy' girl took out from her schoolbag:

A box that exudes a high-tech feel.

puff,

The box was opened.

A chill was visible to the naked eye emanating from it.

Inside, rows of syringes lay quietly, possessing both a technological aesthetic and an inexplicable sense of dread.

"This is?"

The girl with the ponytail, who was lifting weights, was taken aback.

"Steroids?"

"Heh heh, this is my company's latest product."

The robust young woman looked proud.
"It's three times more effective than regular nandrolone phenylpropionate!"

? ?
Amidst the bewildered gazes of a group of teenage girls, the burly middle school girl began her introduction:
"A brand-new compound-strength injection"
"It also contains stanozolol, which inhibits gluconeogenesis, promotes muscle synthesis, and enhances muscle strength."

It also possesses the ability of nandrolone phenylpropionate to accelerate muscle development through protein synthesis.

"It can also promote protein synthesis, just like oxyandroxone."

Before the girl could finish her boasting, a large hand reached out.

"However, this injection can cause masculinizing characteristics."

The newcomer was a muscular, burly man.

"Confiscated!"

After saying that, he took the girl's medicine box and syringe directly.

"Hey?"

"How can this be?"

"Mr. Yamamoto, you're not going to take it home and use it secretly, are you?"

Faced with the accusations from the girls, who knew:
"I'm doing this for your own good,"

Professor Yamamoto was very outspoken.

"You can use it after I've tested it and seen the results."

"Hmph, how could there be anything wrong with my medicine—"

This farce,

Make Inoue Kaoru lie face down on the table again.

She didn't need these "Nine Dragons Pulling a Coffin" scientific drugs; if she wanted them, she could get the "Super Injection" through her sister's connections.

However, that kind of injection has a high risk of failure, and her sister wouldn't let her gamble.

How can one become a supernatural being?
Although Kaoru tried her best, it was a joke compared to the "efforts" of her classmates.

They are really willing to use drugs, and with professional family doctors controlling them, they are not so easy to die suddenly. The biggest reason why most bodybuilders die suddenly is because of the competition: using diuretics to dehydrate before going on stage makes their already overworked bodies even worse.

The timeframe of each competition is the peak period for bodybuilders to "soar".

In addition, many bodybuilders are newly rich from poor backgrounds, and they eat, drink, play, and train like crazy—they are practically risking their lives to explore the limits of the human body.

People like traditional 'governors' and 'strongmen' clearly live much longer.

"Kaoru, do you think I should get some tech too?"

?

Upon hearing the ponytail girl's words, Inoue Kaoru turned her head in surprise.

"No way, haven't you seen the recent news?"

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, known as "The Rock" in America, lost about 55 pounds in a few months and was jokingly called "The Pebble".

The stated reason is that he needs to play an elderly character, so he has to lose extreme weight; but everyone knows that a normal human being could never have that kind of physique, and once he stops taking the medication:
Shrinking instantly!

"Ha, we're only in middle school, who cares about things decades from now?"

For this,

The girl with the ponytail didn't seem to care;

"Back then, we didn't even know if Tokyo was still around."

"What you said makes a lot of sense,"

Inoue Kaoru was speechless at her classmate's words.

If other students were in her position, they would definitely have 'gambled' on the super injection without hesitation.

No, not only the students, but even their parents would gamble: the production of the supernatural injections is already on the right track.

But how many people live in an island nation?
How many people are there in the world?

Even if 99.99% are not considered 'human',
The remaining powerful figures, military personnel, and politicians will find it a drop in the ocean to share this small amount of medication.

"So annoying!"

Supernatural power
The sister's 'disappearance'
And Brother Lawyer—

How about a night raid tonight?
