In the end, they fought and won, slaying the six-headed demon king and injuring three others, revealing the association's terrifying strength.
"Heh... I didn't expect there to be so many twists and turns inside." Jiang Jing chuckled, then put it out of his mind.
“However, I noticed a hint of anxiety in my mother’s tone. She repeatedly reminded us to improve our strength quickly, as if there might be some danger in the future?” Rias frowned.
Upon hearing this, Himejima Akeno and the other two also adopted a serious expression.
"There's no use thinking so much. Let's focus on training first. When our strength reaches a certain level, we'll know what we need to know." Jiang Jing said indifferently, unlike Rias and the others who were so serious.
For him, if the danger was so great that the world was destroyed and he couldn't stop it, he could simply tear through space and time, use his true spirit to locate and travel through dimensions via the river of time, and continue to live in a more distant world.
Infected by Jiang Jing's relaxed attitude, Rias also felt that thinking about these things was a bit unnecessary, and couldn't help but laugh at herself: "Kōta is right. We should focus on improving our strength now. When we are strong enough, I believe Father and the others will naturally tell us."
"So, Sorata, I'll be relying on you from now on."
"What do you want me to do?"
"The fastest way to improve our strength is through combat, constantly fighting under high pressure. That's why we want Sora to come and help us with special training when he has time."
"Uh... I don't mind if I have the time, but are you sure that if it's really special training, I won't hold back?" Jiang Jing's eyes narrowed slightly, a faint, terrifying aura emanating from him.
“I’m sure.” Rias looked at Jiang Jing with a firm gaze.
"Alright then, since you say you can handle it, I'll set aside half a day each week for special training." Jiang Jing shrugged indifferently.
Jiang Jing didn't object to Rias and the others wanting to improve their strength, since being stronger would always be beneficial.
He is not omniscient or omnipotent, and the path he is taking now has nothing to do with the mystical rules of fate and cause and effect.
What if one day the two of them are in the underworld or some other distant place, and they are injured or killed because they are not strong enough, and he doesn't notice?
Even if they kill the person who killed them in the end, it won't matter. His things will still be gone. What a pity if that's the case.
P.S.: Yesterday's monthly votes and sword blades totaled seven chapters, leaving a total of eighteen chapters owed. Two more chapters will be added today, so sixteen chapters are still owed. ^_^
Since the data is not a standard number, the total will be recalculated at the end of the month, with refunds for overpayments and additional payments for underpayments. Come on, if you can't kill me this month, I'll be back in full force next month.
Chapter 92 A Glimpse of Beauty (First Update)
hiss!
In a white hospital room, on a hospital bed, Mitaka Jin suddenly clutched his slightly throbbing head, opened his eyes, and stared blankly at the ceiling.
Where am I? How did I get here? I remember... ghost... Thinking of this, Mitaka Jin suddenly sat up in shock.
hiss……
Mitaka Jin's face turned pale with pain, and only then did he notice the IV tube inserted into his hand.
However, just as Mitaka Jin was looking around the empty room in a daze, the door suddenly opened and a middle-aged female nurse with a cold expression walked in.
"Excuse me, nurse, is this...?"
The nurse ignored Mitaka Jin, quickly removed his IV drip, and left without a word after packing up her things.
Then a young man in a black uniform walked in, looked at Mitaka Jin seriously, and said coldly, "You're awake. Come with me."
Without giving Mitaka a chance to react, the young man turned and left.
Caught up in this atmosphere, and also wondering how he ended up here and what exactly happened that day, Mitaka Jin quickly got out of bed and followed.
Upon opening the door, Mitaka Jin saw people coming and going outside, with nurses in uniforms and doctors in white coats bustling about, as if he were in a hospital.
But when Mitaka Jin caught up with the young man in black, two people carrying a stretcher walked past them quickly, and the monster with a red ghost face and goat horns on the stretcher startled him.
In particular, the monster, which was over three meters tall, had a large hole in its chest, and Mitaka Jin, who was wearing glasses, could even see its green internal organs wriggling.
"Ah...this..."
"Quiet." The young man in black turned around and gave Mitaka a cold look. The icy gaze immediately silenced him.
"Keep up with them, and pretend you didn't see anything."
After leading Mitaka Jin to an interrogation room, the young man in black coldly said across a table, "My name is Kong He, and I am the person in charge of the National Special Security Association, responsible for handling your pollution incident."
"Oh, right, take this document and look at it yourself." The young man in black, too lazy to explain, pushed a document in front of Mitaka Jin.
Mitaka Jin silently stared at the document in front of him, titled "Basic Introduction and Laws and Regulations of the Extraordinary Realm," and then quietly opened it to read.
"A Guide for Newly Awakened Abilities..."
Half an hour later, Mitaka Jin put down the documents in his hand with a shocked expression.
This is a document to popularize world knowledge for newly awakened superhumans. It briefly introduces the major organizations and forces in this world, and most importantly, the laws that superhumans must abide by after awakening their abilities.
The organization that mandates these extraordinary individuals to abide by the law is the Celestial Surveillance Association, which claims to oversee the entire world and is the strongest human force in the human realm.
A stunned Mitaka Jin felt his mouth go dry and said in a hoarse voice, "I..."
"Not bad, you're already a superhuman." Kong He, on the other side, seemed to know what Mitaka Ren wanted to say and said coldly.
"You're lucky. You encountered a newly mutated pollutant that not only survived but was also not mentally corrupted. After being unconscious for five days, it awakened its superpowers due to stimulation."
"I really have gained superpowers." Upon hearing Kong He confirm this, Mitaka Jin felt a surge of joy.
That night was a huge shock to him. His atheistic beliefs and scientific worldview, which he had built up over the years, collapsed. The feeling of being powerless to face death made him never want to experience it again.
Unfortunately, just as Mitaka Jin was overjoyed, the young man opposite him coldly said, "You have indeed awakened a superpower, but it is only a common ice superpower. At present, even if you consume all your power, you can only create a piece of ice the size of a palm. Your potential is rated as low."
"What?" Mitaka Jin was taken aback.
"The so-called low potential means that if you don't have any other help, even if you train hard for ten years, you won't make much progress," the young man in black said coldly, arms crossed.
"Alright, now you have two choices. One, go back and abide by the laws for superhumans and continue living your previous life. As long as you don't break the law, no one will bother you."
"Second, joining the association will not only subject you to its management, but also grant you access to resources that are unavailable outside, thus enhancing your strength. Of course, the risks and rewards are proportional; gaining something also means facing danger."
"Here are two contracts. You have ten minutes to consider them, then choose whichever path you choose." After saying that, Kong He leaned back in his chair and ignored Mitaka Ren.
Looking at the two contracts, Mitaka Jin didn't reach out to open them. Instead, he hesitated for a moment before asking, "Um, I wanted to ask, if I join the association, to what extent will my abilities improve?"
A hint of surprise flashed in the black-clad youth's cold eyes, then the corners of his mouth turned up slightly: "That depends on your opportunities and efforts. However, after joining the association, the improvement speed of us is at least ten or a hundred times that of those outside."
"If you're incredibly lucky and work hard enough, you might one day become a powerful being who can freeze an ocean with a single thought."
"However, I must remind you first that around 100,000 people worldwide awaken their superpowers each year, and 80% of them choose to join the association. Of these people, 20% die in battle each year."
In the black-clad youth's cold tone, Mitaka Jin sensed a strong aura of death.
Suddenly, his previously made decision began to waver again. Looking at the two contracts that represented different lives, Mitaka Jin struggled internally.
If he chooses to return to ordinary society, his future path will be to attend an art university, improve his scriptwriting skills to the point where he is worthy of Misaki, marry her, and live out his life like that.
But if he chose to join the association, could he survive in that dangerous place with his low-potential ability? At this moment, Mitaka Jin couldn't help but ask himself.
The world has been at peace for a century, and there have been no major wars for a long time. Although Konghe did not say why those people died, Mitaka Jin guessed that there must be an extremely dangerous enemy.
This enemy is so formidable that even the world-ruling Celestial Observatory needs to lose tens of thousands of superhumans every year to withstand it.
The young man in black opposite did not urge him or interfere with his words. He simply looked at the high school boy with calm eyes, appearing very patient.
However, just then, a commotion broke out outside, catching the attention of Kong He and the conflicted Mitaka Ren.
"What's going on?" Kong He frowned, stood up, went to the door, opened it, and took a look.
Just then, a beautiful woman, radiating a dreamlike aura, slowly walked down the corridor, causing everyone in the corridor to turn away and face the wall, not daring to look at her for long.
The woman was tall and slender with long black hair. She wore an exquisite ancient Hanfu and had a face so perfect that it was clear she was pure and otherworldly, yet she possessed an astonishing allure that made the world pale in comparison.
"One glance and she's breathtaking; a second glance and she's stunningly beautiful"—this was the thought that crossed Mitaka Jin's mind at that moment.
Chapter 93 Leaving Sakura Dormitory (Second Update)
The mysterious woman left a trail of deathly silence in her wake. After an unknown amount of time, someone finally moved and breathed a sigh of relief.
One by one, these people turned around, gave a wry smile, and then went about their business, as if they had experienced this scene many times before.
"Another three years have passed?" Kong He frowned.
"wake up."
A cold snort startled San Yingren awake. Kong He glanced at him and said coldly, "Forget what you just saw. Thinking too much about it won't do you any good."
Slowly suppressing the dreamlike figure in his heart, Mitaka Jin looked at Kong He, his gaze gradually becoming firm: "I choose to join the association."
Looking at Mitaka Jin, Kong He narrowed his eyes and did not immediately agree. Instead, he slowly and solemnly reminded him, "You need to think it through. This world is not as wonderful as you imagine."
"I've made up my mind." Mitaka Jin nodded firmly.
How can one get close to that figure without entering this world?
At that moment, the image of Misaki Kamiigusa clearly appeared in Mitaka Jin's mind, and then Misaki's image was gradually replaced by another image, so beautiful that it made the world pale in comparison.
After all, he was just an eighteen-year-old teenager, and his so-called views on love were shattered after seeing that stunningly beautiful woman.
Having witnessed this scene before, Kong He, who knew why he had suddenly become so determined, paused for a moment, then said calmly without continuing to persuade San Yingren.
"In that case, sign this document and then come with me."
……
At six o'clock in the afternoon, outside Sakura-sou, Mitaka Jin got out of a black car whose model was not identified, stood at the door for a moment, then adjusted his glasses, opened the door and went inside.
The living room was deserted and empty, but Mitaka Jin had a different feeling at that moment, a sense that something was about to leave him.
What has departed is the ordinary.
From the moment he chose to join the association and was taken to the actual underground branch headquarters for the first phase of basic cognitive training, he knew that his life had taken a completely different turn.
As Mitaka Jin passed by the river-view room, he saw Shiina Mashiro intently drawing her manga through the gap left for the cat to enter and exit.
He used to envy and even be jealous of Mashiro and Misaki's talents, but now, looking at it from a different perspective, he can finally remain calm.
After all, no matter how talented someone is, they are still living in a world overshadowed by others, while he will begin another magnificent chapter in his life.
As if sensing Jin's gaze, Shiina Mashiro raised her head and looked at him calmly: "Jin-senpai is back."
"Okay, you're busy." Mitaka Jin smiled, nodded to Shiina Mashiro, and then turned and walked upstairs, which was his main purpose for coming back today.
Half an hour later, Mitaka Jin, with a calm expression and a hint of relief, came down from the second floor, opened the entrance door without turning his head, and walked out.
"Hey, Ren-senpai, you're back."
Just as Mitaka Jin stepped out of the courtyard, Jiang Jing walked back slowly, his back to the setting sun, bathed in the evening glow.
Jiang Jing glanced at Mitaka Ren and immediately noticed that some of his genes had mutated, his mental strength was twice that of an ordinary person, and he had gained a low-level ability.
