Forced to walk in the world of anime

She wasn't very familiar with Chu Xing; they had only met once. It wasn't realistic for her to open up completely, and there were some things that weren't suitable to say to someone whose name she had just learned. However, Chu Xing was her savior, and it wouldn't be good to lie to her savior.

Seeing Saten Ruiko's hesitation, Chu Xing chuckled and said, "If it's something you can't easily say, then forget it. It was just a casual question, don't take it seriously."

“It’s nothing.” Saten Ruiko shook her head and said, “Hatsuharu is an esper, and all my friends are espers too. Although I know they wouldn’t advise me to go if I didn’t have an ability, I always felt different from them in this respect, and it felt strange. So when I heard that Imagine Breaker could give an esper an ability, I really wanted to try it out, and that’s how all this happened.”

Chu Xing nodded upon hearing this, and said, "I had that feeling a while ago too. At that time, I didn't have the ability yet, so I felt like everyone in the world had the ability, and I was the only one who didn't. I felt really uncomfortable back then."

"So now?" Saten Ruiko asked with some interest.

She had seen Chu Xing use his abilities and knew he was a power user. So, how was Chu Xing feeling now that he had gained those abilities? Was he satisfied?

"Now?" Chu Xing grinned. "Sometimes fate just plays tricks on me. Just when I've given up hope of having any power left, when I've already given up on it, it just happens to unleash it."

"despair?"

Saten Ruiko didn't know why Chu Xing used this word, but the girl's imagination was always excellent. She immediately filled in a lot of things in her mind and strung them together into a rather plausible story.

"Yes, it was despair," Chu Xing continued. "Then I gained the ability, but it didn't give me the feeling of getting what I wanted. In fact, it was exhausting. I felt it wasn't worth it to work so hard for such an ability! But I could only accept reality with a wry smile."

Saten Ruiko tilted her head. Was Chu Xing's ability really that bad? How come she couldn't tell?

Seeing Saten Ruiko tilt her head, Chu Xing smiled: "Sometimes being a powerless person isn't so bad; at least it's a matter of unlimited possibilities."

“Hmm,” Saten Ruiko responded thoughtfully.

Uh, it really can be affected? Chu Xing was just talking nonsense. He knew from the beginning that he would have an ability, and a pretty good one at that.

"Haha." Chu Xing couldn't help but laugh when he saw that she was still lost in thought. He then reached for the Fantasy Mitsu, put on the headphones in front of Saten Ruiko, and said with a smile, "Speaking of which, I'm still quite curious about what kind of songs those idle guys have on their MP3 players."

After saying that, Chu Xing didn't wait for Saten Ruiko to say anything next, and started playing a song from the MP3 player!

If nothing unexpected happens, the first song on this MP3 player is "Genshin Impact"!

Start playing!

Immediately, as Chu Xing's breathing quickened, a well-paced instrumental piece entered his ears!

"Got it!" Chu Xing exclaimed in his heart.

He felt the energy within his body slowly circulating without his control, and it was also transforming, becoming more powerful.

At the same time, Chu Xing felt his mind suddenly clear and his calculation ability greatly improved!

Is this the power of the Phantasm Master?!

"How is it? Does it sound good?"

"I asked, half-jokingly," Saten Ruiko asked. She hadn't noticed the tremor in Chu Xing's body just a moment ago!

"Um."

Chu Xing, whose body was undergoing a dramatic transformation, chuckled dryly and said, "It's alright. It seems even those who don't study properly have a passion for music. It's just that some of it isn't suitable for students like us."

Upon hearing this, Saten Ruiko didn't think much of it, assuming it was just heavy metal music from a bar.

"Saten-kun!"

At that moment, Shiori Uiharu, who had gone to buy food, returned with three boxes in her hands, presumably lunchboxes for the three of them!

"Huh? There are three of them?" Chu Xing was slightly surprised. He was already planning to run away, but Chu Chun Shiri brought him three more boxed lunches. Was she trying to stop him from leaving and make him finish his meal before he could go?

###16, Meeting Stiyl on the Rooftop###

Okay, Chu Xing accepted the facts, suppressed the turmoil in his body, and ate the boxed lunch with the two of them.

After finishing their meal, Chu Xing pretended to rest for a while, then immediately said that he still had things to take care of at home, and bid farewell to the two of them so as not to disturb them any longer.

"Saten-kun?"

After Chu Xing disappeared around the corner, Shiori Uiharu withdrew her gaze, only to find that Saten Ruiko was still staring at the spot where Chu Xing had vanished.

A smirk played on his lips as he poked Saten Ruiko with his finger and said with a grin, "Saten-kun, you didn't fall for her because she saved your life, did you?"

"No, no! Don't talk nonsense!"

Saten Ruiko blushed and vehemently denied it.

Indeed, which young girl doesn't dream of love? And this is a hero who descended from the sky and drove away the bad guys!

...

"what!"

After disappearing from the two women's sight, Chu Xing immediately found a corner to sit down!

He finally couldn't hold back the churning sensation within him!

Although it wasn't very painful, it was a very uncomfortable feeling, a feeling that made it hard to breathe!

When watching anime, using the Imagine Breaker doesn't seem like a big deal, so why does it feel so bad when it's used on him?

Is it true that deceiving young girls will bring divine retribution?

"Did I open it wrong? Is this poisonous?" Chu Xing couldn't help but think this. If he hadn't actually felt an enhancement within his body, he might have mistaken the Imagine Breaker for a murder weapon! And then he would have accidentally used it!

"call!"

Chu Xing felt he needed to release the restless power within him, otherwise he would be crushed to death sooner or later if he kept suppressing it!

But where can we release it?

Fighting under these bright lights and countless cameras could get you arrested!

Although Chu Xing is not afraid of being caught, he is not in the right state right now. What if he is caught and used as a guinea pig?

We can't do something so risky!

Therefore, Chu Xing made a firm decision and used his enhanced abilities to create a distorted vortex beneath his feet, sending himself flying into the sky!

Chu Xing then arrived at the top of a skyscraper!

There are cameras everywhere, so it's easy to get caught. So, since there's nothing on the top of this building, there probably aren't any cameras there either, so it's unlikely to attract much attention, right?

Moreover, the top of the building that Chu Xing chose still had some construction materials that were not used up during the construction, enough for him to practice on!

At the same time, everyone in the building had gone home from get off work. As long as Chu Xing kept things under control, it wouldn't matter if things got a little noisy!

But plans can't keep up with changes, and one problem after another arose. Chu Xing encountered another issue as soon as he went upstairs.

Two people were chasing each other on the rooftop: a young nun and a red-haired priest!

Index? Steel?

Oh, I see. The plot is about to begin. If nothing unexpected happens, in a few days, or even tonight, Index will fall onto Touma's balcony.

Chu Xing had no intention of stopping it, and his current condition didn't really allow him to take action!

But just like that, Index ran in the opposite direction from Chu Xing, and even saw him, calling out, "Help me! Help me!"

Chu Xing wanted to stay out of it, but he noticed that Stiyl seemed surprised by his appearance, probably mistaking him for one of the upside-down man's men, since being on the rooftop at this time was quite unusual.

This needs an explanation, but Chu Xing is not in the mood to explain right now. In addition, due to his physical condition, what he needs right now is release!

After running a few more steps, Index caught up with Chu Xing!

Heaven took pity on her; this beautiful young woman was finally blessed by God, who sent a messenger to save her!

"Who are you? Why are you interfering in this matter?" Stiyl, who came up to Chu Xing, did not make a move, but instead asked with a frown.

Although he was a simpleton, he was also a smart man. He didn't start fighting right away. After all, what if he attacked the wrong person without even knowing their identity?

"I am human," Chu Xing replied succinctly, then shielded Index. He said, "But who are you? Chasing after a little girl so late at night! Are you planning something beastly?"

Stiyl's eyelids twitched. How dare he call him, a noble magician, a beast!

With a dark expression, Stiyl said, "Get out of the way! This is none of your business!"

"I can't interfere?" Chu Xing sneered. "Looks like you really are the scum who wants to prey on innocent girls! Looks like I'll have to act on behalf of heaven tonight!"

Having said that, Chu Xing decided not to hold back any longer. He opened one hand, palm facing Stiyl, and said, "Activate your ability!"

Stiyl's pupils contracted as he stared at Chu Xing's palm, a sudden, overwhelming fear gripping him! The fear that someone might die!

Who is this person?

Stiyl thought about the question again. Although he didn't consider himself the best in the world, he wasn't at the point where anyone in Academy City could fight him!

However, it's no use thinking about who Chu Xing is now. We've already fought, so we should at least have a showdown before sitting down to talk!

With a flash of flame in his hand, Stiyl launched a massive fireball at Chu Xing!

Chu Xing glanced casually at the fireball and continued to activate his ability. He was now unsure of his own strength, so he was determined to fight Stiyl with all his might. This was also the opportunity he had always wanted to fight a Level 4! Stiyl was a mage, but in terms of technology, his strength was equivalent to Level 4!

"what!"

Stiyl cried out in pain and stumbled back five steps. The fireball then dissipated.

Looking down, Stiyl's right hand was reduced to just a palm; all five fingers had disappeared!

Stiyl stared at Chu Xing, determined to remember him! In all his years in the business, this was the first time he had ever seen someone so ruthless as to sever five fingers with a single blow!

He doesn't know how terrifying this person will be in the future, but today's situation is not as simple as it seems. If he's not careful, he might lose his life!

Is this a 16 or 7-year-old boy? Looking at Chu Xing's appearance, Stiyl couldn't help but think to himself.

Stiyl stepped back to observe Chu Xing, who was also observing Stiyl, only his thought was: "So weak!"

Chu Xing was astonished. Although Stiyl wasn't extremely strong, this was far too weak. If he hadn't held back, that attack would have obliterated him.

Then Chu Xing thought that when he was LV3, he was able to deal with fire ability users that even Shirai Kuroko couldn't handle. Now that he has been upgraded to LV4 by the Imagine Mistress, wouldn't he be invincible at least among his peers?

Thinking of this, Chu Xing almost burst out laughing. He never dared to dream of being invincible at the same level as in novels!

In fact, Chu Xing's situation is somewhat similar to that of Kihara Tsurugi. Although she is only LV4, her strength is not something that an ordinary LV4 can fight against!

"This is so boring!"

Feeling that Stiyl was no match for him, Chu Xing angrily twisted a nearby brick into a brick ball!

Then, by twisting the brick to its current position, the brick ball fell into Chu Xing's hands.

He coldly addressed Stiyl, who was still observing him, "Hey! Is this all you've got? If so, I might leave you here tonight!"
