As long as you are rational, you will subconsciously feel a sense of fear and unease when you encounter things you cannot understand, because you are unsure whether these unknown things will harm you.

Just as ordinary people are afraid of demons and monsters, demons and monsters are also afraid of some random polymers or even things they have never seen before, such as the male protagonist in the fictional mystery.

"Click...click...click..."

Seeing that the thing in front of it was still getting closer and closer, the monster finally had the intention to retreat. Without caring about anything else, it used its full demonic power to escape.

"brush!"

In an instant, it darted out of the path and rushed desperately toward a secluded place, its speed completely disproportionate to its size.

Seeing the other party fleeing for their lives, the irregular humanoid creature, which had not shown any change in expression before, suddenly curled up the corners of its mouth, as if it had found something very amusing.

Meanwhile, the monster that was still fleeing in the distance suddenly heard a very familiar sound of breaking glass. Before it could react, it suddenly lost the feeling of its right half and fell heavily to the ground.

"What?! What happened?!"

Despite losing half its body, the monster felt no pain, as if that half of its body had never existed in the first place.

But that's precisely why it felt extremely terrified, because it couldn't understand what was happening.

"Click...click...click..."

And just then, that particularly peculiar footsteps reappeared around it and didn't disappear until ten seconds later.

Disappearance does not mean the crisis is over; on the contrary, it is the most terrifying time. I once used a similar trick to pretend to disappear, and then when humans were off guard, I would break their limbs and then devour them amidst their endless screams of despair.

It was obvious that the monster had the same idea: to play with it before killing it. But it was powerless to do anything about it, because its strength was inferior to the monster's, which was the original sin in the world of monsters.

The next moment, its flesh was cleaved into countless fragments by that strange blade, and then vanished into the air just like the shattered tentacles.

After it died completely, the irregular humanoid figure revealed its true form. However, what was unexpected was that this so-called irregular humanoid creature was actually played by Hoshino Gokawa.

"Forget it, I won't play this game again next time. It's better to just get rid of it directly. I feel like my personality is going to become quite wicked if I keep doing this." Hoshino Gokawa felt that this method of toying with something and then killing it was not very appropriate. He felt that a straightforward approach was more suitable for him.

After scanning the surroundings and finding no one around, Hoshino Gokawa teleported home. However, upon arriving home, he remembered that he hadn't bought any snacks, so he teleported to a nearby deserted area, ran to a convenience store, bought some snacks, and then returned.

-------------- Divider Line --------------

"You got this score on purpose, didn't you!"

After several exams, Natsuki Subaru finally realized that Hoshino Gogawa's string of 88s was not a coincidence, but rather the result of his own hard work. Unable to contain his curiosity, he pressed him for an answer.

"Hmm... I think the number 8 is auspicious, so I took all eighty-eights."

Hoshino Gokawa did not deny it, but readily admitted it.

"So what score can you get if you try your best?"

"Hmm... If there's a standard answer, you get full marks. If there isn't a standard answer, you'll get different scores depending on the grader."

It's impossible to guarantee that Hoshino Gogawa will get a perfect score, because no one knows what the teacher who graded your paper was thinking. After all, it's quite easy to find a reason to deduct points for something like Chinese literature.

"Wow! That's really impressive! But if that's the case... then why didn't you get a perfect score?"

Natsuki Subaru was extremely envious of the reply he received. If he had the ability to get full marks on tests so easily, he wouldn't have fallen into a state of depression in the later years of elementary school.

"Because I already have plans for the future, and those plans don't really require academic qualifications. So rather than taking up a spot that I don't need, I'd rather give it to someone else."

At this moment, the quota that Hoshino Gokawa mentioned has a double meaning. First, it is the school ranking plus the scholarship. I don't know about other junior high schools, but their private school has it. Second, it is the enrollment quota of certain key schools. You can probably guess what this means.

"Hey! So what are your plans for the future?"

After Hoshino Gokawa said that, Natsuki Subaru became very curious about what the other party's plans were for the future.

"I want to take a spontaneous trip and see all the wonders of this world."

"...That's wonderful!"

Natsuki Subaru would be lying if he didn't envy Hoshino Gogawa's future plans, because the other party's plans were as carefree and unrestrained as those of an ancient knight-errant roaming the world.

Hoshino Gokawa's plan can be said to be the dream of most boys. Who in the world doesn't want to be a "hero" who surveys the world?

Then a while later------------------------------

"So, Wuchuan, what are your plans for this summer vacation?"

Because the summer homework had just been handed out, Natsuki Subaru was very curious about what the other person would do during the summer vacation.

"I don't know, I haven't thought about it yet. I might go on a trip, or I might not."

Hoshino Gogawa hadn't thought much about his summer vacation plans, but one thing he was very clear about was that he, Saiki Kusuo, and Sakamaki Izayoi should go to Mars for another sparring session.

After all, it's been a long time since I've had any physical activity, and since I have this free time during the summer vacation, I naturally have to get some exercise.

Chapter 208 Growth

"Bah! Bah! Bah!"

Kusuo Saiki, Izayoi Sakamaki, and Gosaka Hoshino clashed again, and this battle was even more exciting than the last one, as all three of them had clearly improved their strength.

In order to narrow the gap between himself and Hoshino Gokawa, Saiki Kusuo would take off his superpower suppressor whenever he had free time and find a secluded place to quietly enhance his superpowers.

As for why he didn't choose to give it up, it's because he was afraid that his superpowers might accidentally go out of control at school and cause a disaster, so to be on the safe side, he would rather go to a safe place to improve himself.

As for Izayoi Sakamaki, in order to close the gap between himself and Hoshino Gokawa, he started learning various fighting techniques online. Because he was not sure how to continue to improve his strength, he changed his approach and thought about how to maximize his fighting awareness.

As the saying goes in the story, those who have the numbers but not the full potential are just weaklings in the field. However, it was precisely because he started training that Izayoi Sakamaki vaguely sensed that there were still some of his abilities that had not been fully developed.

Since the two of them were trying to improve, Hoshino Gogawa naturally didn't want to stop either. So he learned the so-called meditation to improve his state of mind, making his ability use even more exaggerated. He was no longer limited to the ability of space, such as the dollhouse from before.

After Hoshino Gokawa placed that thing into his body, he gradually extracted the essence of its power from the dollhouse and then allowed it to slowly integrate into himself.

If this thing were to grow up, it probably wouldn't be so easy for Hoshino Gokawa to acquire its abilities. Unfortunately, it is currently limited by its physical body, which prevents its output from being able to compete with Hoshino Gokawa's power. As a result, the essence of its power has been stripped away and integrated into its body.

Then, by using his powerful body, he raised the output limit of this thing. In the past, he had to put something smaller than the dollhouse in it to make it intelligent, but now anything within the range that Hoshino Gokawa's body could handle is fine.

In other words, if Hoshino Gosaka were to grow larger than Earth and swallow it whole, countless intelligent life forms would instantly appear inside the Earth, since all the figures fall within this range.

In a sense, he is now on par with a creator god.

Besides that, Hoshino Gokawa is increasing his upper limit after going berserk. He doesn't know how other heroes improve, but he has a very good way to improve.

That is to replicate all the energy in one's body and compress it into a single cell to increase one's density and capacity. Since the berserk state of the Hero Race is an exponential increase in energy, Hoshino Gokawa doesn't need to worry about bursting out of his cell by stuffing all his energy into it at once. If that were to happen, the berserk state of the Hero Race should not exist.

In other words, Hoshino Gokawa has normalized the exponential growth of his berserk state. However, he cannot perform such an operation in an instant while in human form. Instead, he needs to transform into his true form, spend an hour compressing it, and then put it into a cell. Otherwise, his value could increase N times in a day, or even burst the universe in less than a day.

Even so, Hoshino Gokawa's growth is terrifying. With just one compression, he can fight at the same level as his previous self, and this gap is getting bigger and bigger.

It can be said that under the pressure of each other, all three of them started to perform exceptionally well.

The fact that they don't compete with ordinary people doesn't mean they lack competitiveness; it simply means they haven't encountered anyone who could ignite their competitive spirit in the past.

But things are different now. They have two friends who are about the same age as them and whose fighting skills are even better than theirs. Do you think they would be willing to fall behind? You have to remember that they are still teenagers!

With them already showing signs of competition and starting to clash with each other, it's hard to imagine how brutally the villains will be crushed in the future. This is even more outrageous than the cautious hero starting out training in the realm of gods.

If things get really out of hand, Kusuo Saiki could even use time stop and clones to fight them both.

Okay, let's get back to the main topic.

"Draw!"

In the instant that he used his petrifying eyes to freeze Hoshino Gokawa, Saiki Kusuo attacked him without hesitation with his newly awakened superpower.

"Supernova!"

If Hoshino Gosakawa hadn't used his abilities to divide this planet into several large spheres containing smaller ones, the solar system might have been destroyed by Saiki Kusuo's attack.

But even such an exaggerated move was easily blocked by Hoshino Gokawa.

"Hey you two! Have you forgotten about me?!"

Stimulated by the rapid increase in their strength, Izayoi Sakamaki's inner emotions were amplified, causing certain hidden powers within her to begin operating at high speed.

"Swipe!"

In an instant, thousands of punches capable of shattering stars blasted towards the two of them.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" ×N

Hoshino Gokawa, who was hit by this superluminal punch, accidentally had most of his clothes torn, and looked quite miserable, but in reality, he didn't have a single bruise.

While Saiki Kusuo was able to block the attacks, his condition was much worse than Hoshino Gokawa's because his physique wasn't as impressive, so he inevitably had several bones broken.

However, because he has the ability to regenerate at supersonic speed, by the time Izayoi Sakamaki stopped what he was doing, Kusuo Saiki's injuries had almost been healed.

In other words, Izayoi Sakamaki's attack this time had very little effect.

However, just because they were alright did not mean that the sparks beneath their feet were alright. The energy released from the punch that Izayoi Sakamaki had just thrown had shattered them into pieces.

If it weren't for the layers of space separating them, life on Earth might have witnessed the moment Mars suddenly and inexplicably exploded.

"Continue..."

Saiki Kusuo, who casually grabbed a fragment of Mars and squeezed it to restore it, asked the two of them another question.

"I don't care, it's up to you guys, but I'm just reminding you that we've been playing since morning until night."

Hoshino Gokawa shrugged, indicating that he could continue, but you could sense from the underlying meaning of his words that he seemed to want to pause the match.

"Hmm... I'll be there today. I have an anime show to watch."

"Since you all say so, then I have no objection."

So the three of them, who had agreed on the plan, immediately returned to Earth to attend to their own business.

Chapter 209 Visiting

Hoshino Gokawa, who had just returned from sparring with Saiki Kusuo and Sakamaki Izayoi, heard the news his mother had brought him.

"Wu Chuan, your uncle Da Di just called and said he hopes you can visit them during the summer vacation. If possible, it would be best if you could stay for a few more days."

"Um...when?"

"It would be best to do it in the next few days."

Hoshino Sakurako was clearly relieved to see that her son had not refused, since it might have hurt the relationship between the two families if he had chosen not to go.

"Okay, I'll leave tomorrow morning. I don't really have much to do during my summer vacation anyway."

Hoshino Gokawa, who had a good impression of Fujiwara Daichi, wouldn't mind staying at their house for a few days, but some plans might have to be changed.

The three of them originally planned to spar for a few more days, but they didn't expect to encounter such an unexpected event. They had no choice but to postpone their sparring plans for a while. However, since it was summer vacation, it wouldn't matter if they postponed it for a few days, after all, the vacation was still long.

"In that case, we'll buy you a cell phone tonight. After all, we'll be away for several days, and we don't know how to contact you without a phone."

Since his son was going away for a while, Hoshino Natsuhiko, as the father, naturally had to consider maintaining contact between the two. So, as soon as the mother and son made their decision, he immediately chimed in, which in a sense highlighted the presence of the father's role.

"no problem……"

Hoshino Gogawa didn't have any objections to this, since he couldn't let his parents know about the alien-branded phone, otherwise they might question him.

Because alien artifacts could potentially cause conflict between humanity and extraterrestrial civilizations, and as parents, they naturally don't want their son to cause such a thing, so they will question him. If Hoshino Gosaka accidentally reveals what he has done, then there will be a big problem.

The fact that their own son made an alien civilization pay them a lot of money...

Just thinking about that scenario gave Hoshino Gogawa a headache, so he decided to keep these alien products a secret. Besides, he didn't need to worry about them being discovered because he had put a shell around each alien product.

Unless it's someone whose combat strength is equal to their own or someone with exceptional spatial abilities searching for them, they have no chance of discovering these alien products hidden by Hoshino Satoru.

A while later, after dinner, Hoshino Gokawa went out with his father to buy a cell phone. While walking along a quiet path, Hoshino Natsuhiko talked to his son about some things.

"Wuchuan, remember not to reveal your abilities this time you go out."

His father, who is currently taller than Hoshino Gogawa, turned his head and gave him some earnest advice.

"Don't worry, Dad, I know everything."

Hoshino Gogawa showed no impatience with Hoshino Natsuhiko's admonitions, because he knew that his father was thinking about his future.

The reason is quite simple: once his abilities are exposed, he is very likely to be targeted by government agencies with ill intentions or those operating in the shadows. After all, human experimentation is not something that is only depicted in movies.

Maybe there really is a place in this country where children with superpowers are being held and experimented on.

Therefore, he is very worried that the government might have its own procedures for dealing with people with superpowers, and that he and his wife might even become part of the process to make their son submit.

Of course, there is the option of believing in this country, but do you really dare to believe in something like that?

Even among humans, there are good and bad; how much more so among groups composed of humans!

So just ignore any belief you have.

After chatting for a while on the way, the father and son arrived at a large shopping mall. Hoshino Gogawa picked out a black smartphone with a SIM card. After completing the formalities, they went to buy souvenirs for Fujiwara Daichi. After all, they were staying at someone else's house, so they couldn't just go to his house. Once everything was settled, the two of them went home.
