Living your daily life in a shonen anime seems to be wrong.

"Is it morning already?"

He started to struggle with the decision again.

It seems like it's morning; I can already hear the birds chirping.

Are there birds in Academy City?

Leave it alone.

I have to get up in the morning.

But is it really morning? Perhaps morning is just an illusion.

Why does morning even exist? Why does the sun rise? Why does the Earth rotate? It's so complicated.

Let's just destroy the world, then we won't have to worry about this anymore.

But destroying the world is also a troublesome thing.

Why not just pay two cents to have someone destroy the world? That would save us all the trouble.

Hmm, it seems like today is the weekend.

Is it the weekend?

It's the weekend, so you don't have to get up early on weekends.

It's the weekend, so why did I wake up so early? That doesn't make any sense at all.

"..."

Staring blankly at the ceiling.

Then, I pulled the blanket over my head.

"The world should just be destroyed."

……

noon.

Himegami Akisa and Fremia were not there; they left a note saying they had gone out to play with Frenda.

They didn't invite Qiye along either.

They must have known, which is why they didn't bother Qiye.

However, no one is making lunch, so I have to make it myself. Although I know how to make it, it's a lot of trouble.

"Let's eat out."

I left the shrine listlessly and walked into the vast crowd.

……

Family restaurant.

The three girls sat together, each doing their own thing, without disturbing each other.

Suddenly, someone walked in through the door.

A boy wearing a white coat, with his right eye closed, who looked rather listless.

"what?"

A girl noticed the boy and seemed a little surprised.

This girl is Kinuhata's favorite.

With her were Mugino Shizuri and Takitsubo Rigo.

Mugino Shizuri didn't seem to have much energy either, just sitting there drinking tea, while Takitsubo Riko simply closed her eyes and went to sleep.

The silk flag is the one I love most, without any rules.

She simply looked at the boy who walked in, the boy she had watched a movie with once.

Also a member of Frenda's family, Nanaya.

Qi Ye seemed not to notice her, and sat down in an empty seat to order food.

Her actions quickly caught the attention of Mugino Shizuri.

He looked at her, then followed her gaze to Qi Ye, and then his gaze returned to her.

"The silk banner, is that your lover's?"

"?"

Kinuhata Ai was a little slow to react.

Seemingly because she had heard an interesting topic, Takitsubo Riko also opened her eyes.

No, that's not true.

Once she came to her senses, Kinuhata preferred to deny it outright.

Lovers and such...

how can that be possible.

Although Qiye made her a little concerned, after all, that guy was different from ordinary people.

"Frenda's family."

Just a brief explanation.

But what about Frenda's family...?

"Oh?"

Mugino Shizuri seemed to have thought of something.

He glanced sideways at Nana, who was sitting a little distance away, eating heartily.

"Is he the one who was invited by many research institutions to join, but he declined them all?"

"Ah."

The silk flag loves to nod.

Nanaya is quite famous in the scientific research community of Academy City, and is even hailed as the first genius since the establishment of Academy City, because there is no problem that can stump him in any of the three major disciplines of physics, chemistry and biology.

Aside from some research projects undertaken by the foundation after his marriage, he did not participate in any research projects. However, he would help answer questions, provide solutions, and even design research plans.

Some even suspect that he has figured out how to prevent aging, since his appearance remains completely unchanged from when he first arrived in Academy City seven years ago to now.

This is no longer just about preventing aging.

Many people want to figure this out, but Qiye is uncooperative and refuses to answer such questions.

So some people took direct action, but no matter how many people they sent, they couldn't make any waves.

Yes, no.

No matter how many people there were, how powerful they were, or how powerful their weapons were, they couldn't stir up any trouble. Moreover, in a very short time, they all lost contact, and no one knew what had happened.

Over time, no one dared to lay a hand on Qi Ye, or even on the people around him.

The unknown is the most terrifying.

They didn't know what kind of power Qiye possessed, or what kind of force stood behind him. After trying all the methods they could, and still nothing worked, they gave up.

"There was no response from the AIM diffusion field."

Still listless, Takitsubo Riko said something.

Level 4 tracking ability allows her to record the opponent's AIM diffusion field, enabling her to accurately locate them no matter where they flee.

In theory, if she could become a Level 5, she would be an extremely powerful being.

Through the AIM diffusion field, one can freely manipulate other people's "reality that belongs only to oneself," and at will enhance, weaken, exchange, change, or even create "multi-ability users."

"If you don't have it, you don't have it."

Mugino Shizuri didn't care.

They are neither enemies nor friends, but rather like complete strangers.

Who would care about a stranger?

She definitely won't.

However, it was discovered that Kinuhata Saiai seemed to care a lot.

That's actually how it is.

"He used his abilities."

"Ok?"

"At Tokiwadai, it was said that spatial abilities were used."

Kinuhata said it best.

This point had previously sparked heated discussions.

Of course, the focus of the discussion was not on Shichiya's abilities, but on the fact that Shichiya had taken off his classmate's (beep) panties.

However, quite a few people still noticed this aspect of ability.

"That does sound a bit strange."

Mugino Shizuri looked at Nanaya again.

Since they can use spatial abilities, that's quite impressive.

There are only a few dozen people in Academy City with abilities related to space, and more than a dozen of them are Level 3 or above. However, the more powerful ones are Level 4 coordinate teleportation user Kihara Ayaki and Level 4 spatial teleportation user Shirai Kuroko. Apart from these, there are basically no other ones who are worth mentioning.

However, Takitsubo Riko could not sense the existence of the AIM diffusion field...

"Could this guy be so genius that he's developed a method for creating abilities completely different from those in Academy City?"

She wasn't the only one with this suspicion; many people shared it.

But nobody knows the answer.

While the three girls were discussing, Qi Ye had already finished eating.
