Harry Potter, the savior of Night City

"You mean, both companies now suspect we stole that core project, and in reality, you did take the source code of that core project?!"

In a motel, the team members were discussing what to do next. After hearing what He Li and Qi Wei said, everyone's pupils dilated in shock. Mann, clutching his forehead, sat on the bed looking constipated.

"What sins have I committed? Last year, working on biotechnology wasn't enough; this year, I also have to fight against Arasaka and the Military Science..."

"Something so important, how could the Sixth Street Gang intercept it?" Lucy sat to the side, a candy dangling from her mouth. "I reckon someone was already on good terms with Arasaka. This thing was probably intended to be 'accidentally leaked' to Arasaka by some spy, and then some strange middleman found out..."

"Now it seems that this prototype might not have been returned to the military science department at all, and that middleman tricked us." Pila analyzed for a moment, and then revealed the truth.

"Mann, do you still remember what that middleman looked like and where he lived?" Rebecca asked Mann, resting her chin on her hand as she sat in her chair.

"A middle-aged man, around forty years old, with blue eyes, just like that guy in the Next Life Bar." Mann thought carefully. "I had no idea where he lived; this was the first time I'd done a mission with him."

"What's the difference between this and not knowing anything..." Harry covered his head, suddenly realizing that there were a few blue-eyed guys chasing him from the NCPD. Could it be that these blue eyes were a symbol of an organization?

Shaking his head, Harry rubbed his head. "Things are getting more and more complicated." He looked up at everyone. "We need to split up. The Military Science Institute and Arasaka haven't started clearing us out yet. We need to use this time to gather any information we can, including 'Polaris'."

"I'll contact that Mr. 'K' again and see if I can lure him out so we can capture him alive."

.......

"Will it work?"

"No, those 'human' people from the military science department actually connected the chip to the prototype. The chip has a biometric device on it, so only the first person to insert the chip can use or hack the prototype."

"So now we either need to find the neural transmission core, or we need to find the first person who had the chip implanted in their brain, and coincidentally, both of these are in the same person?"

"Yes, I will find a suitable time to give them another 'task'."

"Yes, you must remember, we must obtain this technology; it will be the key to bypassing the Black Wall."

"I understand. A flesh-and-blood human with some amazing skills, could he possibly possess magic?"

"Mr. David Martinez, why aren't you wearing your school uniform?" The virtual teacher asked David again and again in the center of the classroom, but David didn't listen at all. He just silently walked to Katsuo Tanaka's chair and kicked him off.

Katsuo Tanaka was forced to stop his Mewtwo lesson. He fell to the ground, looking at David in disbelief, before quickly getting up.

"This is a school, Martinez, what are you trying to do!"

Obviously, fighting and bullying are not allowed in school, and Katsuo Tanaka's tone softened considerably at school, but David didn't think so.

"There are surveillance cameras everywhere, you..."

"Bang!"

David punched Tanaka Katsuo in the face, who was still trying to reason with him. Instantly, blood and tears flew everywhere, and Tanaka Katsuo fell to the ground. David's yellow work clothes were about to slip down, but Ika used two nerve contacts as hands to pull them back and covered him up completely.

"I don't care at all..." David looked down at Katsuo Tanaka lying on the ground, stretched out a hand, and gently hooked his four fingers back.

Come on.

Tanaka Katsuo was furious. His white, modified face even showed a slight redness, and his whole body was now extremely flushed. He stood up, disregarding the school's rules, activated his massive arm, and his fist was so fast that it was almost a blur. He still wanted to beat David into a dead dog like before.

"Ika." David silently said to himself. Ika received the command, and a green light emanated from the neural connection point. The silver-white body quickly emitted a green light indicating that it was starting up.

Katsuo Tanaka seemed to have stopped in place, but upon closer inspection, he appeared to be moving slowly, though at an almost imperceptible speed.

David flashed to Tanaka Katsuo's side, leaving behind a series of green afterimages. Looking at Tanaka Katsuo, who was almost frozen in time, he threw a punch at his chin, followed by another punch to his side ribs, and finally a horizontal roundhouse kick to his waist. Then, he stopped S.A.S.

"Bang!!" Tanaka Katsuo flew out like a twisted rope, crashing hard into the window and creating spiderweb-like cracks. He then fell to the ground, the blow to his face causing blood to fill his nose and throat, and the blow to his waist making it impossible for him to stand up.

"Ah...hoarse..." Tanaka Katsuo's consciousness blurred, his bleeding eyes looked at David, and he lay on the ground like a dead dog, making a sound like a broken bellows in his throat. He wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn't say anything and passed out.

David clearly saw Tanaka Katsuo's moving lips say something; the words, when put together, clearly meant "My dad..."

"Ha, I don't care about anything."

David walked out of the Arasaka Tower with a flourish. On his way home, he suddenly felt a surge of exhilaration, and he burst into laughter, the laughter growing louder and more manic. He seemed to understand something. Icarus started up again, and he drove the Sinweistan home, just like the heroes in his favorite childhood comics. He was learning from the heroes in those comics and becoming his own hero.

.......

The video footage from the classroom was played.

"Marcus, why are you showing me footage of my son being humiliated?" a voice came from the other end of the phone.

"The assailant's name is David Martinez. He was arrested some time ago for using a pirated device..." The person on the other end of the phone was clearly the principal of Arasaka Academy.

"Do I need to know this?"

"Look closely, sir," the principal said on the phone. "He definitely has S.A.S ...

"That cyberpsychotic?"

"That's right, and this student is even faster than James, which means that the S.A.S. has been modified twice. With such speed, he has not shown any obvious aftereffects of the implant. I believe that with such a high tolerance for prosthetics, he would be the best candidate for the experiment."

"Heh, not bad."

"Wait, sir, don't hang up yet. I've also found out that this student seems to have some connection with that Harry Potter..."

"Is this the Harry Potter I'm thinking of?"

"It's him."

"Hahaha... It came so easily, you did a great job, Marcus, I'll give you the reward you want."

"Thanks you..."

Magical World

Privet Road.

A huge, terrifyingly thin dog stumbled out of the Vernon family's door, leaving them huddled together, trembling with fear. The dog was terrifying; it even possessed those damned magic abilities!

"Harry..." a mournful cry escaped the large dog's throat, "Where are you?!"
