Forced to walk in the world of anime

If we're just talking about ability, Chu Xing could probably be the captain, right?

Therefore, Mugino Shizuri announced to everyone with a beaming smile that Chu Xing was the second-in-command of this 20,000-strong team composed of ability users!

Mugino Shizuri is ranked fourth, and his strength is undeniable, that goes without saying. But Chu Xing is only a Level 4! Although there aren't many Level 4s present, there are still about twenty of them. Why should Chu Xing be ranked second? What makes him so special?

Although LV4 is not as good as LV5, they can still be considered as prodigies. Without a suitable reason, they really cannot submit to an ability user of the same level!

Mugino Shizuri would definitely not give any reasons. A lazy woman like her, if someone opposes her will, then losing a few more of the 20,000 people is not out of the question! Even if ability users are an important fighting force, would someone as self-centered as Mugino Shizuri take them seriously?

Without offering an explanation, Chu Xing's life became even more difficult. Although no one immediately jumped to her defense, she still faced countless strange looks and even some rumors, such as that Chu Xing had once had a one-night stand with Mai Ye Shen Li...

When Chu Xing heard this, he almost flipped the table. What was all this nonsense? At the same time, he cursed Mai Ye Shen Li in his heart. Didn't she want him to keep a low profile?

Chu Xing originally wanted to refuse, but surrounded by these sarcastic expressions, he suddenly thought, why not just take the position of vice-captain!

After this back and forth, Chu Xing's peaceful life could no longer continue. He would often argue and banter with those LV4s! Until... Chu Xing and his group arrived at this battlefield!

"This really is World War III!"

After reviewing the battle situation in detail, Chu Xing finally understood why World War III had dragged on for so long. It was no longer the small-scale conflict depicted in the original story; it had escalated into a world war involving hundreds of countries, and the death toll was no longer the hundreds of thousands known to Academy City, but had exceeded one hundred million!

Ah this!

When Chu Xing saw the bird, his first reaction was to turn and run. What the hell is this?! Can't we just live a normal life? Is this really World War III?!

Chu Xing suddenly understood the seemingly impossible task of leading Academy City to become the world's number one power!

Now, wouldn't he be considered an Ability User who leads Academy City?

In this world-class war, does Academy City's cutting-edge technology have no chance of winning? Surely not! Although the other major powers are not weak either.

The Puritan Church is doing well, standing with Academy City and striving to become a powerful force. The E-country cult is expanding, ignoring the Roman Catholic Church and leading several neighboring countries to become a second-tier power. As for the Roman Catholic Church, with its massive following, it's hard to imagine it not becoming a third-tier power!

In addition, there is a fourth force, the Buddhist-Taoist Alliance, which combines Buddhism and Taoism. They also wanted to get a share of the pie in this war between sects and nations. However, they did not expect the war to go so far, and they accidentally got caught up in it, causing the war to escalate.

The involvement of various religious sects transformed this war from one between ordinary people into one where large-scale magic was frequently seen and supernatural beings began to appear, making it a chaotic spectacle of demons and monsters!

Therefore, under these circumstances, even the intervention of those with special abilities wouldn't seem particularly surprising, after all... cultivators and magicians have already been exposed!

Of course, this exposure was not in the public eye, but only on this battlefield, where the media treated it as a special force!

###57. You're all trash###

Inside the makeshift meeting tent, listening to the screams and artillery fire outside almost simultaneously, Mugino Shizuri's eyes gleamed with fighting spirit, a playful smile curving her lips as she crossed her arms: "This is really interesting! I never knew this world was so complex..."

In just a few days, Mugino Shizuri learned what the situation was like outside, but this did not make her feel afraid, terrified, or want to back down. Instead, it fueled the fighting spirit in this superpowered individual!

She looked down at the twenty Level 4 Ability Users sitting there, grinned, and said, "You are all Level 4 Ability Users of Academy City, elites selected from among thousands. Normally in Academy City, even if you are involved in certain research institutes, you cannot fully demonstrate your abilities. But here, everything is different. We can unleash our potential and no longer be held back by rules. Here, give it your all! Create achievements that will shock the world!"

"... "

The crowd fell silent. Not everyone was as fired up as the crazy woman, Mugino Shizuri. They were terrified and even considered deserting!

What's going on?! Wasn't it supposed to be just a short walk? Now it's really like going to the battlefield!

The crowd was in a panic. Even though they were LV4 level and each person could hold off a hundred people, they were still a group of students and they really didn't have the mental fortitude to go into battle!

"Ok?"

After a long pause, seeing no one respond, Mugino Shizuri's face darkened instantly, a murderous intent surging within him. He said in a sinister tone, "Why aren't you talking? Do you want to desert? Let me tell you, this battle is a must. If you want to run, you don't need Academy City to lift a finger; I'll kill you all! Don't worry, as the leader of the Ability User Squad, I still have the authority to kill deserters!"

"Oh no! Don't worry, it won't happen, it won't happen!"

"We are all very confident in this war! Why would we desert?"

We will win this battle!

Upon hearing this, some trainees immediately nodded repeatedly, promising that they would not desert and would lead their teams to strive for meritorious service!

The murderous aura emanating from Mugino Shizuri was terrifying; he had no choice but to agree! What if he were to be killed by this madwoman without realizing it?

Mugino Shizuri scoffed, also showing great disdain for these students who usually lived in an ivory tower. If it weren't for the orders issued from above, she wouldn't have been willing to collude with these people. They were all cowards who feared death and probably didn't even have the courage to kill a chicken. Sending these people to the battlefield, Mugino Shizuri thought that the higher-ups of Academy City must have gone completely mad!

"It's good to know!"

Mugino Shizuri shook his head inwardly for a moment, then projected a map, pointed at it twice with a laser pointer, and said, "Then let's formulate a battle plan! We are facing France, which has gathered a large number of orthodox cult members. We have received reports from our superiors that our mission this time is to clear out this area. I believe everyone understands what we are facing! So try to motivate the people below and make them rush forward one after another. This will also help us survive!"

"Understand!"

Upon hearing the last sentence, these good-for-nothings finally mustered the courage to give a strong response. As expected of people from Academy City, they always become resolute when it comes to life and death!

Mugino Shizuri nodded, which gave her a slight satisfaction. Then she said, "Alright, who is willing to lead a group of ability users to be the vanguard and clear the way for the main force?"

"... "

The air fell silent once more!

fight in the van?

The 20-plus Level 4 ability users looked at each other in dismay. This seemed like something only cannon fodder would do. With their small bodies, could they withstand the attacks of the valiant members of the Roman Catholic Church? Would they die?

Panic ensued once again!

Mugino Shenli: "..."

Mugino Shizuri was also feeling utterly devastated. What kind of people were these?! Why were they all so afraid of dying?!

Even if personal life and death are indeed important, this isn't a 100% certain death situation! How could you be so cowardly? How can someone like this become LV4? Are the standards for LV4 really that low now?

"These people can go to the battlefield? Are you sure they're not a bunch of useless trash?"

Chu Xing couldn't help but say it out loud. He had originally said that these 20,000 people could conquer a vast territory and make Academy City the number one power, but it turned out to be these cowards? Isn't this just a case of sending them to their deaths?

Mom!

Chu Xing's heart was in turmoil. If all the ability users in Academy City were these useless people, even with a large population, they might not be as good as ordinary soldiers!

"Chu Xing! How dare you talk to me like that?"

"What makes you say that? If you've got the guts, go and do it yourself! Don't think that just because you were given the fourth position, you can look down on everyone!"

"That's right! Compared to you, you might not even be able to beat us! What's there to be proud of about someone who just parachuted in!"

"If you have the guts, go outside and show your skills! What are you talking about here?"

Chu Xing's words immediately provoked the wrath of the crowd. These useless LV4s might be cowardly towards outsiders, but when it comes to their own people, they are more fearless and valiant than Spartan warriors!

Upon hearing these words, Chu Xing was so angry that he laughed. He wanted to kill all of them. If he killed them all, Academy City might be able to send another group!

boom!

A pulse was released out of nowhere, catching the group off guard. The shockwave knocked them off balance, and some even fell to the ground!

Immediately, a distorting force field, seemingly capable of imprisoning everything and halting time, unfolded. Before anyone could utter a scream or a curse, they were pinned to the ground, unable to move except for their eyes, which could twitch a few times!

Chu Xing kicked aside the high school-aged man next to him, stepped onto the back of another young woman, and said condescendingly, "Are you sure you bunch of trash can fight me? You really think you're treasures? If it weren't for special circumstances, do you think the fourth one would have been arguing with you for so long? The Atomic Collapse I know isn't one to be disobedient; just one Atomic Collapse and you're all going to the King of Hell!"

"That's right, with your kind of trash?"

After a brief moment of shock, Mugino Shizuri quickly regained her composure and said, "If I'm not mistaken, you might still look down on Chu Xing, right? Well, you're really ignorant. If you're from the Anbu, you'll know more or less that Kakine Teitoku was recently crippled and is practically dead now! And the person who caused all of this is Chu Xing!"

"... "

The group of LV4s all stared wide-eyed! It sounded like a joke, but... subduing more than 20 LV4 ability users in an instant was something that not everyone could do. Even Mugino Shizuri probably didn't remember having such an ability!

###58. Mutual slaughter###

Chu Xing grinned as he listened to the story told by Mai Ye Shenli: "Your news coverage is really fast! I was wondering why you didn't settle personal scores. It turns out you even knew about this. I thought the people in the General Council would keep it a secret!"

Why hide it?

Mugino Shizuri was taken aback. This was all the information she knew. The third person who appeared when Chu Xing defeated Kakine Teitoku hadn't been leaked at all! After all, that was top secret!

Chu Xing smiled without saying a word, shook his head, then withdrew his distortion field. He looked at the LV4 ability users who were starting to move away from him, and sneered, "I'll say it once: we might be involved in this war, but it's really just a show. If you upset me or get in my way, then you can just die! I'm not targeting anyone in particular! It's just that everyone here is really trash! I wouldn't even need to do much calculation to beat you all up!"

"... "

Everyone trembled with fear. They were all stunned. This turn of events was too fast! Yesterday they were still talking about Chu Xing behind his back, and today they were being pinned to the ground like dogs, unable to move!

At this moment, Frenda, who had just gotten up, hid behind Chu Xing with a resentful expression and whispered, "I understand the logic, but why did he still pin me to the ground! This guy is really annoying..."

"What did you just say?" Chu Xing turned around and looked at Frenda with a bright smile, but his crescent-shaped eyes always revealed a hint of coldness.

This made Flanda shiver immediately, and she hurriedly said, "It's nothing! Brother Chu Xing, I'm yours for life! Please use me as you wish!"

"... "

Everyone was dumbfounded. They had no idea about the relationship between the two. They thought this young girl was really open-minded, and her words were full of inappropriate implications, even giving them endless ideas, like about Chu Xing...

"Be normal!"

Feeling these gazes, Chu Xing immediately slapped Flanda on the head. The aloofness he had painstakingly maintained was instantly shattered by this woman!

Shaking his head helplessly, Chu Xing said to Mugino Shizuri, "Give me this vanguard mission. I'd also like to find out just how powerful magic really is!"

"Ok!"

Mugino Shinobu nodded repeatedly; she hoped Chu Xing would accept the mission and then stay away from her for a while!

...

Actually, even though it sounded incredibly prestigious, and being a vanguard seemed like such a miserable thing, Chu Xing didn't feel bad at all! He strode confidently into Ma Li!

The orthodox church looks down on these ability users. They have gathered more than 500 magicians here. With such a Ministry of Magic fighting against them, these ability users, despite their large numbers, have already lost their dangerous abilities because they wouldn't even dare to kill a chicken!

Mom!

One of the world's five major international metropolises, this place was once so prosperous and bustling with traffic, but I won't go into details!

But now, due to the recent barrage of artillery fire and the occasional attacks from Academy City mechs, this once-great international metropolis is now in ruins. Apart from a few buildings that are still barely recognizable, the rest are like ruins!

The Orthodox Church's camp was also very conspicuous; those few buildings that were not damaged were the Orthodox Church's camp!

Apart from the 500 mages, the local army of F country and the troops organized by members of the orthodox church, when added together, numbered nearly 100,000!

Y country is one of the main battlefields, while F country is just across the sea. If there are problems on the F side, the resources on the Y country battlefield will not be able to keep up, and it goes without saying what will happen.

Therefore, deploying a full 100,000 people in Paris, a major city in France, is not an exaggeration! In addition, with the Academy City mechas advancing like they're free, it really wouldn't be possible to stop them without at least 100,000 people!

Chu Xing didn't care about these 100,000 people. After all, apart from 10,000 or 20,000 who were real troops, the rest were members of the Roman Catholic Church. Those people were about the same as the students of Academy City, and there was no danger to them at all!

But the 500-strong magic unit was different. As one of the most active units in this war, any one of them could have hundreds of lives on their hands!

Therefore, they are absolutely ruthless in killing. Their magical level is quite high. According to the information Chu Xing obtained, any one of the members of this magic unit has the strength of LV3. In other words, conservatively speaking, there are at least 500 people with the strength of LV3 or above!
