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

"Mom, I know!"

Xingguang rubbed his fists together, then turned around and went to his car to use it for physical training.

Having left New York, she could no longer train with the specialized equipment at the superhuman institution and could only rely on her old buddies.

"OK, breakfast is ready. Hurry up and finish 150 squats, then come eat."

Donna January said this to her daughter and then went back into the house.

Xingguang took a deep breath, and after completing the squat in his own car, he wiped the sweat off his body and walked towards the living room.

"How's the election going?"

Donna had already finished breakfast, and the sandwiches left on the table were a little cold, so she began to wash the kitchen utensils.

Upon hearing Starlight enter the room, Donna casually asked Starlight a question.

"It's still the same. The final video has been filmed, and I feel like I'm doomed."

Starlight shrugged.

In her last video submission, while showcasing her abilities, she inadvertently affected the filming crew and camera.

"Fuck, Annie, you should be more careful."

"You know, the church has used a lot of resources for your election campaign."

Donna swore, and her hands tightened a bit more when washing the dishes, producing more white foam.

When her reproachful voice came, Xingguang didn't react at all. She just picked up the slightly cold sandwich on the table and started eating it by herself.

"Annie? Anne? Did you hear me?"

Donna's voice continued.

"I can hear you."

Anne sighed helplessly. Donna had always had high expectations of her, and the few times she showed affection for her were when Donna joined Vought's superhuman organization.

This can be considered, in a sense, one's family of origin.

[Starlight]: Saiki, I think my mom is really crazy.

[Starlight]: If I don't do something so-called "achievements," she won't give me a single kind look.

[Severe dependence on coffee jelly]: This is not a confessional, if you have psychological problems you can consult a psychologist.

[Starlight]: Please, don't you call yourself an archangel?

[Coffee Jelly Addiction]: Archangels have their own things to do too. Fine, so what do you want to do? Send your mother to a mental hospital?

[Severe addiction to coffee jelly]: If that's the case, I know a PhD who can easily help you achieve that.

[Severe dependence on coffee jelly]: <The PhD without enlightenment>.

[Starlight]: ...It hasn't come to that.

[Severe addiction to coffee jelly]: Well, I hope you can break free from your family of origin soon.

Starlight looked at the conversation on her phone, a slight smile playing on her lips.

"Hey Annie, who are you talking to?"

Donna finished washing the dishes and came over. She looked at Annie, who was smiling there, and frowned.

"With a friend."

Starlight quickly exited the chat with Qi Mu, her smile fading.

"Boy or girl?"

Donna took away Xingguang's finished bowl and chopsticks, and her gaze fell on Xingguang's phone.

"A nine-year-old child."

Anne said frankly.

"child?"

Donna frowned.

"The kid I met on the streets of New York last time, the one Uncle Newman pulled me to vote for."

Starlight didn't hide it; her mother was very controlling. If she hadn't become a superhuman and her account wasn't managed by the superhuman organization she joined, Donna would have checked her account frequently.

"Nine-year-old Annie, what you should be doing now is training hard and not letting the Lord down."

Donna spoke to Anne.

"He's also a superhuman."

"Oh?"

Donna was somewhat surprised.

"A superhuman child? He should be a devout lamb of God."

Donna clasped her hands together and said in a mysterious tone.

"...Maybe."

Starlight's lips twitched slightly. She thought it best not to let Donna see her chat history with Qi Mu.

Otherwise, Donna would have shouted "heretics" and chased after Saiki with a torch.

Moreover, she most likely won't be able to find Saiki, and even if she does, she simply can't catch up with Saiki who can [teleport].

Ultimately, he'll probably vent it on himself.

"All right, perhaps you can lead this child into the Lord's embrace."

Donna said this to the starlight.

"Don't worry, he often claims to be the Lord's angel."

Starlight gave Donna a perfunctory reply.

"Good boy, that's a good boy."

Donna nodded in satisfaction.

Starlight took a deep breath and nodded in approval.

"Yes, God must really like him."

With Starlight's agreement, Donna didn't check Starlight's phone.

However, she still planned to go back and ask Mr. Newman if what Starlight said was true.

After all, teenage girls often hide things from their mothers.

If the other person wasn't a nine-year-old child, but a greasy young man in his twenties.

Donna really needs to take Annie to church and have her soul cleansed by the priest.

"Alright, now you should go study."

After watching Annie finish her cold breakfast, Donna patted Annie on the shoulder and gave her some instructions.

"I know."

Xingguang watched as her mother cleared away the dishes, nodded, and was about to return to the room she had just tidied up.

Buzz——————

Her phone rang.

"Whose call was that?"

Donna, who was holding a bowl and chopsticks, stopped in her tracks, her gaze falling on Starlight's phone.

"People from Water Corporation."

Xingguang's eyes lit up after she saw the phone number's name.

That was a call from Ashley, the assistant who had handled the campaign for Vought International last time.

"Turn on speakerphone."

Donna said succinctly.

"I know."

Starlight was a little excited. She answered the phone and turned on speakerphone.

The call was connected.

"Hello, can you hear me?"

A woman's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Yes, that's fine, this is Starlight."

Starlight nodded, answering expectantly.

"Wow, congratulations, Ms. Starlight."

Ashley's congratulatory voice came from the other end of the phone.

"You have been successfully selected for The Seven, becoming a new member of The Seven."

Her voice was very high-pitched; if Qi Mu were here, he would be very familiar with it.

This is the distinctive old Waters Capital accent.

"Hey, are you listening?"

Starlight and Donna exchanged a glance, and Donna slammed the bowl and chopsticks in her hands onto the ground.

"What happened on your end?"

Ashley's questioning voice rang out.

"No, I was just too excited."

Starlight answered immediately.

"Okay, please come to the Water Building in two days to participate in your onboarding process..."
