I adopted a child demon from the Gap, and I'm a special agent for the Bureau of Supernatural Ab

"Who...who are you?"

The opponent's bear-like, robust physique exuded an extremely terrifying sense of oppression, far surpassing any enemy Touma had ever faced. He handed Shio over to Index behind him for support, took a step forward, and nervously watched the figure.

"My name? Before I put on this mask, not many people really cared about my name."

With that peculiar breathing sound, the man slowly emerged from the darkness.

"But if you ask me, I'm happy to answer. Just call me Bain."

Wearing a black, oddly shaped mask that completely covered his mouth and nose, the man who called himself Bane slowly moved forward, gradually approaching Touma Kamijou.

Then other footsteps sounded, and more than ten men in camouflage uniforms, armed with guns, silently and skillfully emerged from both sides of Bane.

Wow... so many, and they're all armed! This is really bad...

Touma Kamijou had no idea he could defeat this group of strong men, especially since they were fully armed with various light and heavy weapons. He needed to hold them off so that Index could take Shio and escape immediately. Touma Kamijou made up his mind.

"Don't be nervous, we won't fire."

To his surprise, Bain waved his hand, causing his men to put down their guns.

“Shooting at a formally employed person in the capital city of a country would put my squad on the blacklist, and the price is too high compared to the value of this mission.”

Bane reached out and took off his heavy bulletproof vest, revealing massive pectoral muscles that most women could never have, wearing only a close-fitting short shirt, and slowly walked up to Touma Kamijou.

"But even without using firearms, I have ways to achieve my goals. So what about you, boy? And what can you do?"

"Index, take Shio and run!"

With a furious roar, Touma Kamijou charged toward Bane, throwing a punch at the man who was more than half a head taller than him without a moment's hesitation.

Bane seemed somewhat surprised, stopping in his tracks and letting Touma Kamijou rush up to him, punching him hard in the face. Touma Kamijou used all his strength in this punch, even causing Bane's head to tilt slightly to one side.

Recalling the fighting techniques that Senior Li Cheng had taught him over the past period, Touma Kamijou launched a full-force attack, landing several punches on Bane's body, causing the opponent to stagger. Finally, he launched a flying kick, forcefully striking Bane's stomach with his knee, causing the opponent to take a slight step back.

"Drink!"

In another fierce attack, Bane raised one hand and gently caught the fist that was swinging at him, as if he were pinching a chick.

He struggled to break free, but the difference in strength between them was too great, so it was all in vain. Touma then threw a punch with his left hand, but Bane easily grabbed his fist again. The other party even adjusted his posture and directly grabbed both of Touma's wrists with one hand, lifting Touma into the air.

"Amazing courage and perseverance, but this young kid's reckless fighting style and the intensity of his physical training still require some effort."

Holding the struggling Touma Kamijou in one hand, Bane said with some regret.

"However, I have seen your determination, unknown boy. Here's a small return gift for you; I hope you'll remember it clearly."

With that, Bane reached out his other hand, grabbed Touma Kamijou's leg, and lifted him up. As Touma struggled desperately, Bane raised his knee and slammed his hands down. With a deafening crack of bones breaking, Bane crushed Touma's spine with his knee before throwing him to the ground.

Meanwhile, Bane's men had also captured Index, who had escaped with Shio. One of them was holding Index, while the other was carrying Shio, who was covered in blood, as they walked back together.

"What happened to the girl's injuries?"

Bain frowned when he saw the cracks all over tide's body.

"I don't know, it was already like this when we caught it. Captain, we didn't fire a shot."

Standing in front of Bane, the mercenary said somewhat nervously.

"It's best if it's not because of you."

With a wave of his hand, one of his men picked up a gun butt and knocked Index unconscious. Then, the group quickly retreated into the depths of the alley.

"No...don't, don't think about...leaving..."

Dragging his already bent back, Touma Kamijou glared angrily at the ground as he continued to crawl.

"He didn't faint from the pain? In such a developed city, it's unbelievable to find someone with such willpower. Life is truly full of surprises..."

Bane, who was walking at the back of the group, turned around and looked at Touma Kamijou, who was struggling to crawl on the ground, and said with a slight sigh.

“However, willpower isn’t something that can be protected by anything,” Bane said to himself as he walked away with his back to Touma Kamijou. “You should experience the pain and humiliation of being defeated by villains. That way, you’ll be more motivated to become stronger before the next tragedy happens.”

Damn it, oh damn it...

Bane's figure had already disappeared into the darkness, while Index lay unconscious by the roadside. The intense pain in his back and the loss of sensation in his lower body were pushing Touma's will to the brink of collapse.

But at the last moment, he suddenly perked up, reached into his pocket, and pulled out the phone he had used for lighting. Enduring immense pain, he began scrolling through his contacts, found Kiritsugu Emiya's number, and then pressed the call button.

Above the dark, cloud-covered sky, a storm seemed to be slowly gathering.

Section 77, Chapter 12: The Explosive Barrel Falling from the Match

"Hawoo—"

With her little hands outstretched and yawning, Ilya, wearing loose pajamas with cute patterns, staggered out of the bathroom.

"Ugh, I'm so sleepy. I should have known better than to drink so much water before bed."

Walking slowly down the quiet corridor, Ilya strolled back to the living room, only to suddenly notice that the light was on near the front door.

Huh, who's there so late?

Ilya perked up a bit and ran a few steps. She saw Kiritsugu Emiya, dressed in black, just putting on his leather shoes and carrying a briefcase, about to open the door and leave his house.

"Kiritsugu? Where are you going so late?"

Ilya asked, puzzled.

"Illya?" Kiritsugu Emiya heard the voice and turned around, immediately seeing Illya peeking out from behind the wall. "It's so late, why aren't you asleep yet?"

"I drank too much water, I need to go to the toilet."

Ilya said somewhat shyly.

What is Kiritsugu going to do?

"I guess you could say I'm going to help out," Kiritsugu Emiya said calmly as he opened the door. "I have a few friends who are a bit slow and always mess things up. As the smarter one among them, I have to clean up their messes and help those friends who mess things up."

"Hehe, Kiritsugu is so gentle."

"Alright, go to sleep. Aren't you going to find tide to learn to draw with tomorrow? Get a good night's sleep."

After closing the door and glancing at the miniature explosives and bullets in his briefcase, Kiritsugu Emiya's expression turned cold. He connected to a communicator and strode towards his garage.

"Kurotong, where are we?"

"I'm already at the office, just turned on the computer. So, what do you need me to do?"

The voice on the other end of the line was that of Mikiya Kurogiri, sounding slightly tired, clearly having just been woken up.

"I need you to track the location of Li Cheng and Kamijou Touma's phones, especially Kamijou Touma's. Then, follow the location to gradually retrieve the surrounding surveillance footage and look for suspicious individuals in the images. Once you find them, hand them over to the team leader to track down."

“No problem,” Kurogiri Mikiya spoke again in the communication after a series of keyboard clicks. “By the way, Emiya-san, Shiki said that if you wake her up this late at night and make such a commotion, but it turns out to be nothing more than a minor disturbance, she will slice you into pieces.”

"I really hope this incident is so minor that she'd want to cut me to pieces. Kurogiri, have you ever operated a drone before?"

"I have a little experience, what's wrong?"

“I have one in a locker at headquarters. Go get it,” Kiritsugu Emiya said, starting the black sedan from his home and driving onto the road. “The team leader might not be able to get away with that group by himself. That drone has rockets and a miniature machine gun, which can provide support firepower.”

"Oh, so it's an armed drone? I've never tried one of these before!"

"It's nothing, just try it out," Kiritsugu Emiya said, lighting a cigarette and ignoring the red light as he sped past a terrified pedestrian. "When my Irene first started driving, she couldn't tell the difference between the accelerator and the brake, but now she drives very steadily, doesn't she?"

"These are really hard to talk about," came the voice on the communicator, accompanied by the sound of running. Kokutou Mikiya was clearly running towards the locker. "Let's leave it at that for now. I'll try my best."

"Then I'll leave it to you."

After hanging up the call, Kiritsugu Emiya sped toward the location where Li Cheng's cell phone signal had last disappeared and immediately dialed another number.

"Tohsaka, are you awake?"

"It's me, Wuming. Lin is getting dressed. What happened?"

"This is very bad news," Kiritsugu Emiya said immediately without dwelling on why it was Wuming who answered the call. "You guys come out quickly. Wuming, I'll send you the communication from Kurogiri. Go and assist him with the reconnaissance. It's difficult to completely lock onto the enemy just by relying on surveillance."

"Understood, let's set off immediately."

"Have Tohsaka bring all the gems she can. The enemy situation is quite complicated this time, and we need strong support. Don't worry about the money; you can make up for it for her later."

"Those are truly cruel words, but she was listening, and she said she had no problem with it."

"Okay, that's good."

Speeding up, Kiritsugu Emiya charged straight into the narrow alley, letting the sides of the vehicle scrape against the walls, until he reached a pedestrian walkway by the river.

Is this the place...?

Picking up his homemade modified pistol, Kiritsugu Emiya got out of the car and ran quickly forward.

Meanwhile, in a dark alley in the city.

With a sickening cracking sound of bones twisting and a boy's muffled groan of pain, a syringe was tossed into a nearby trash can.

"Not bad, you didn't scream," Ryougi Shiki said with a hint of praise as she watched Touma Kamijou struggle to get up from the ground. "It seems you have some backbone to endure the pain of the nanobots forcibly bonding with your bones."

"Team leader, are we going to rescue tide?"

Supported by Index, Touma Kamijou stood up weakly and looked at Ryougi Shiki, asking her a question.

"Yeah, those idiots are always causing me trouble. They just stir up problems and can't solve them, so in the end, the team leader always has to step in. It's happened so many times, I'm really at my wit's end..."

"I also need to go!"

Suddenly speaking, interrupting Ryougi Shiki's words, Kamijou Touma forced himself to stand up straight and said loudly.

"Ok?"

Ryougi Shiki frowned slightly at Touma Kamijou's answer.

"Team leader, I want to go too!"

And Touma Kamijou spoke up once again with unwavering conviction.
