Since the emergence of superhumans more than a hundred years ago, they have always been outmatched by the cultivators of the Heavenly Pillar.

They live in constant fear, like rats in a sewer, hiding here and there, never daring to openly expose themselves to the light.

However, with the bursting of Japan's economic bubble in the 90s, societal desires declined sharply, leading to numerous bankruptcies and the loss of families. This lifeless society undoubtedly became a breeding ground for the birth of superhumans.

The number of people with superpowers who have awakened due to extreme emotions is soaring rapidly.

In addition, the Lazy King announced the "Restraint Method," which significantly increased the time required for superhumans to approach the critical value and transform into beasts, resulting in a simultaneous increase in the number of advanced superhumans.

Although ability users gradually weaken after reaching level 4, they are unlikely to be a match for cultivators in one-on-one combat.

But compared to cultivators who spend decades cultivating, people with superpowers level up quickly and there are many of them. If they can't beat someone in a one-on-one fight, then they can gang up on them for justice.

Therefore, due to the mutual attrition, the Monster Association has gradually gained the upper hand in the confrontation between Tianzhu and the Monster Association over the years.

If it weren't for the collaboration between the Hero Association and Sky Pillar, a group of eccentric traitors among the superhumans, the two sides combined could barely maintain a difficult dynamic balance with the ever-expanding Monster Association.

Otherwise, the Monster Association would be even more arrogant now.

This is the fundamental reason why the Monster Association is so bold, even daring to open its Chiyoda branch right next to the Imperial Palace.

The office building of the Chiyoda branch of the Monster Association, the dormitory area on the 4th floor, private apartment number 418.

This is a luxury apartment with one bedroom, one living room and one bathroom. In Chiyoda Ward, where land is extremely valuable, such a small apartment is already the dream of many Tokyoites.

The bathroom features a wet and dry separation design, with a bathtub filled with low-temperature ice cubes and ice water.

The ever-changing witch Akino is burying herself inside.

Her slightly wavy blonde hair was soaked by the ice water, clinging wetly to her round, porcelain-white face, and her deep brown eyes seemed shrouded in mist, making them look somewhat hazy.

The exquisite, undulating curves are faintly visible beneath the ice.

A mere wisp of hair reveals a myriad of charms.

Despite being immersed in ice water, Akino Otsuma's body remained burning hot.

She had another episode...

For those with superpowers, increasing their strength is both simple and difficult:

All you need to do is keep using your powers.

However, each use of superpowers will be a huge test of the superpower user's psychological defenses, requiring constant vigilance to prevent their rationality from being defeated by extreme emotions.

The key to the survival of those with superpowers lies in their constant self-control.

Sudden.

Akino Ootsuma felt as if she had been hit on the head out of nowhere.

She lifted her face, which had been bubbling in the icy water, and a chat box appeared out of nowhere in her previously empty field of vision.

The message above is from [Sett]:

"Akino, I've found a few more key pieces of information about what I asked you to investigate."

"First, that senior superhuman is most likely a member of the Nerima branch of the Monster Association, possibly 'Eiji Kaito,' who is the captain of the 12th Monster Squad of the Nerima branch."

"Second, there is a Level 2 ability user named 'Okimi Atsushi,' but his specific abilities are unknown. See if he works under Eikichi Kaito."

"Third, there is also a Level 2 ability user whose real name should be 'Taichiro Sajima'. His ability is to manipulate bones. He also operates in the Nerima District branch. I would like you to help me check whether he has had any contact with 'Kaitō Eikichi'."

[Hero - Zero]: "Hey, what are you guys talking about? This hero is in class..."

Akino Ootsuka ignored the underage person and carefully read the information provided by the shrew many times.

Lost in thought:

Sett called me "Akina" again, hehehe... No, no, I can't let this happen...

But why would Wanhao need to investigate this?

Akino Ootsuma ultimately didn't ask the question, as she never really felt a strong sense of belonging to the Monster Association.

After thinking for a moment, Akino Ootsuma replied, "Okay, I'll help you investigate as soon as possible. With this information, it should be much easier to investigate."

[Sett]: "Okay, thank you for your trouble, Akino. I'll treat you to Akino red sausage later."

Pfft... The eldest wife Qiuno smiled charmingly and replied:

"Okay, okay, I want to drink Sanjiali milk too."

[Sett]: "I guarantee there will be plenty!"

[Hero-Zero]: "The Three Beauties Milk is awful..."

"..."

"Why are you silent again? Don't ignore this hero!"

Akino Ootsuma continues to ignore the underage person and closes the chat box in her mind.

Looking down at the little yellow duck struggling to swim in the ice, she stretched out her little hand, which was pinkish-red from the cold, and squeezed it twice with a squeaking sound.

Thinking about it:

Although she agreed quickly, as a member of the Chiyoda branch, it wasn't so easy to find out the specifics of the Nerima branch.

The Monster Association is composed of a bunch of madmen who are always extreme, and it is not as orderly as Sky Pillar. It is constantly changing.

If it weren't for the lazy king's relentless, grueling management methods, things would probably have fallen apart long ago.

As the saying goes, "a meeting is like a mountain," and Akino Otsuma didn't even know how many weirdo squads the Nerima branch had.

Think for a moment.

Akino Ootsuka stood up abruptly, the ice cubes sliding down her graceful curves to reveal her delicate, jade-like skin.

She wiped it briefly twice.

Pick up the phone that's on the shelf.

I found the phone number for "King of Lust" and dialed it.

Not long after.

A mature and sexy female voice came from the other end of the phone, each syllable quite alluring: "Akina, why are you calling all of a sudden? I'm busy right now, there's a stinky monk I need to deal with, he's so tough."

"Teacher, let me use your account for a moment. I want to look something up," Akino Otsuma said.

"Oh, go ahead and use it, you know the password anyway... By the way, don't touch those treasures I've been saving inside, I've been collecting them for a long, long time, and I'm planning to look at them all in one go when I have some free time."

"A treasure... something that a teacher would call a treasure," Akino Otsuma probably knew what that meant...

“I have no interest in those things,” Akino Otsuma replied bluntly.

"Oh?" A hint of amusement lingered in the mature woman's voice on the other end of the phone as she asked, "Have you met someone you like?"

Akino Ootsuka: "No, no... I don't have anyone I like..."

"Haha, Akino really can't keep secrets; she spilled everything the moment you pleaded with her," the mature woman teased with a laugh. Then, her tone turned slightly serious as she said, "But Akino, I have to remind you: if you want to live, break off your relationship with him as soon as possible!"

"...Um."

......

After chatting with the witch through the "Old Tune Squad" on the bus.

Seti also drove Ito's squad back to the Tenju Reima branch.

After learning from the older sister in the office area that Yasha-hime had not yet returned, Sett went to the Ito Squad's activity room to wait.

Looking at the flat-chested little shrine maiden who was desperately lifting weights, as if she would not give up until she died, and then glancing at Ito Yumuri who immediately knelt down and closed her eyes to prepare for battle as soon as she returned.

This seems to be a big blow to them... Sett thought to himself.

He wasn't idle either.

He took out the samurai training manual "The Way of the Samurai" that Ito Yumuri had given him from a small cabinet in the corner of the dojo's wooden floor.

I tried to learn and watched Sett many times when I was at level 2.

However, it was discovered that it was not possible to directly learn a steadfast golden body like the Diamond Sutra had before.

It's level 3 now.

Sett wanted to try again.

Open the old-fashioned booklet.

The first line that catches the eye describes what a samurai is and what the way of the samurai is.

While Bushido is widely perceived in the ordinary world as an extreme ideology, it is the very core of a samurai's practice.

Just like how, after reaching level 4, the shrine maiden's training focus will shift to "demons and spirits".

After reaching level 4, samurai focus all their training on the "Way of the Samurai" that they have come to understand.

Sett patiently read it several times....

There are still no text prompts.

It seems it has nothing to do with level... I really can't learn it... I wonder what the rules are behind these techniques. Why can Buddhist monks learn the Diamond Sutra, but samurai can't learn the Way of the Samurai? Seti wondered.

But since I can't learn it.

Sett stopped looking and took out his phone to browse the Tianzhu Forum.
