Black Robe: How can Saiki Kusuo not be considered a superpowered individual?

Manhattan, West Broadway.

Candor.

It signifies honesty, purity, and also brightness.

This is an independent dessert shop with minimal decorations outside. Unlike other franchise stores that flaunt superhuman photos at the entrance like a prostitute, this shop is not decorated in an overly elaborate way.

Qi Mu thought this store was a good choice.

Pushing open the dark red wooden door made of expensive rosewood, Qi Mu stepped into Candor.

Warm lights cascaded down from the arched dome, and jazz music played softly.

A tranquil atmosphere permeated the entire dessert shop, where several staff members in uniforms gently served desserts to customers in the aisles.

"One coffee jelly, please."

Qi Mu found a seat by the window and sat down.

The soft leather armchair was very comfortable to sit on, and to avoid causing any unnecessary commotion, Qi Mu chose to speak.

"Uh... little one, aren't your parents here?"

The shop assistant was an Asian woman with black hair. She looked at Qi Mu sitting alone in the chair and asked with some concern.

"It's okay, I have money."

Qi Mu took out his cell phone from his pocket. It was the latest Apple phone that Dr. Rolner had given him for his last birthday.

Perhaps recognizing Qi Mu's luxurious phone, or perhaps it was the atmosphere of the store, the clerk nodded and turned to inform the kitchen.

"Hmm, there are still twenty minutes left, we should make it in time."

Qi Mu relaxed slightly and lay back in the chair. He didn't choose to check his phone; going out to travel and enjoy delicious food was more interesting to him than using his phone.

"Sofia, I will not withdraw from the selection."

In a corner not far away, a woman wearing a light gray hoodie and sunglasses, looking mysterious, spoke into her phone.

"Annie, you're not suited to be part of the Seven. Trust me, I'm definitely more confident than you."

The voice on the other end of the phone sounded somewhat subdued.

"Sofia, you? You can become a superhero?"

The woman's voice carried a hint of disbelief. She eventually hung up the phone, her dark pupils behind her sunglasses filled with anger.

Sofia is a friend of Anne's from a long time ago, and she is also a superhuman.

Anne views her superpowers as a blessing from God and grew up under the influence of her mother's belief that "with great power comes great responsibility."

She believed that her abilities were meant to punish evil and promote good, and that she was sent by God to save the world.

It's a cliché, but it perfectly suits the passionate young people of America who are just entering society.

They were young and inexperienced, their passion still burning bright despite the harsh realities of society.

Sofia, however, is different.

After high school, Sofia did not choose to go to college, but instead joined a superhuman organization under Vought.

She doesn't have superpowers with amazing special effects like Starlight; she only has simple physical enhancements and speed, making her a second-tier superpowered individual.

In order to get ahead, she turned to selling her body.

With her revealing battle outfit, the occasional flirtatious poses in the video, and Sophia's decent figure, she successfully entered the final round of auditions for the Superhero Seven through the organization's efforts.

Anne couldn't understand why Sofia was also able to enter the final ring.

Is it because of those perverts on Twitter who call Sofia "female bodhisattva", "sexy queen", "mom" and other such terms?

Why would someone with such a completely low-class personal image be allowed to join the Seven Superheroes?

Anne disagreed.

They were already in a competitive relationship, and Anne had always held a prejudice against Sofia's style.

Their friendship had come to an end at this point.

Annie looked around and noticed that many people were staring at her.

She realized that she had spoken a little too loudly.

"Sorry, it was my fault, I apologize to everyone."

She quickly raised her hands and apologized to the disturbed guests.

Qi Mu blinked, looking at the strangely dressed figure wearing sunglasses, feeling like he had just seen her before...

[clairvoyance]

Qi Mu's eyes began to cross, the clothes that had been covering the starlight disappeared, and what appeared next was a blinding white expanse.

Looking at the moving skeleton, Qi Mu revealed a knowing expression.

Starlight, a top-tier superhuman.

She's trying to compete for a spot in the Superhero Seven, and claims to be God's pure lamb. I just casually voted for her.

Women's bones may appear somewhat slender, but due to the presence of vitamin V, their bone density is quite high.

Qi Mu stared at the white skeleton in front of him, and just as he was about to look away, the skeleton suddenly stood up from its seat.

When Qi Mu met the empty eye sockets of the skull, his eyelids twitched, and his cross-eyedness disappeared.

"Hey kid, are you alright?"

Annie, or rather Starlight, looked at the pink-haired boy in front of her who had been crossing his eyes for ten seconds before returning to normal only after she came over, and asked with some concern.

"fine."

Qi Mu wasn't good at speaking; he preferred to use [telepathy] most of the time.

Telepathy is more convenient, and the information transmitted will not be misunderstood due to homophones.

"Young man, your coffee jelly is ready."

A waiter brought over Qi Mu's coffee jelly and elegantly placed the coffee jelly, which was served in a stemmed glass, on the table.

Qi Mu's gaze shifted from Xing Guang's sunglasses to the coffee jelly.

The coffee jelly is crystal clear, and the dessert shop's craftsmanship is exquisite, perfectly blending the bouncy texture of the jelly with the rich aroma of coffee.

He picked up his spoon, touched the exquisite delicacy, and his eyes visibly lit up.

"Madam, your mille crepe cake is ready. Should I put it over there or...?"

Another waiter brought over a dark chocolate crepe cake, which was a dessert from Star Point.

"Put it here."

Starlight sat down opposite Qi Mu, watching the pink-haired boy savoring the coffee jelly with a hint of curiosity in her eyes.

Qi Mu was so engrossed in the delicious coffee jelly that he ignored Xing Guang, who had taken it upon herself to sit across from him.

It wasn't until he swallowed the first bite and opened his eyes that he saw the woman sitting opposite him.

"......"

Qi Mu didn't know how to tell the other person that he wanted private space.

Explaining it clearly might be quite troublesome and require a lot of words.

If it's telepathy...

Qi Mu hesitated for a moment, but then chose to quietly savor the coffee jelly.

Just as Qi Mu was about to finish tasting the coffee jelly, leave the store, and teleport home, the rude older woman across from him spoke up.

"Um, child, are you alone?"

Annie looked at the young boy in front of her, who seemed to have no guardian, was all alone, and had an expensive iPhone on the table, and asked him a question.
