Anime, Girlfriend Shokuhou Misaki.

They could clearly capture his face in a photo, but there was no evidence that he had made a move, nor any evidence that he was the leader of the "Scorpio" group.

It's hard, it's hard, my fist is hard.

Countless # symbols appeared on Shirai Kuroko's forehead.

Do you really think I have no way out?

Shirai Kuroko's tone turned dangerous as she stared at Haramura Makoto with hostile eyes.

"Speaking of which, your decision to go to a place with no surveillance cameras and no one passing by is exactly what I wanted."

Her small hands, as if caressing piano keys, flashed across the straps on her thighs.

"Shhhhh-"

Almost simultaneously, several crisp sounds reached Haramura Makoto's ears.

Those were arrows.

The palm-sized metal arrows appeared out of thin air, instantly surrounding Haramura Makoto and piercing through his clothes.

Why is Makoto Haramura able to repeatedly thwart their plans?

Of course, it's because they have no evidence.

But isn't this situation exactly the same as this man's?

There were no surveillance cameras, no witnesses, and even if Shirai Kuroko had taken the law into her own hands against this man, he would have nowhere to sue her.

Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures, and Shirai Kuroko is the kind of woman who will step up when necessary.

She had heard that Makoto Haramura had defeated Level 4 espers, but those were just small fry. Shirai Kuroko was different; she would never fail against someone without an esper.

"Clap clap-!"

"Eh?"

Shirai Kuroko, who had been thinking the same thing, suddenly gasped in surprise.

That's right, the metal arrows that were supposed to be embedded in Haramura Makoto's body have inexplicably appeared on her clothes, pinning her directly to the wall behind her.

"We absolutely will not fail on those without abilities?"

"Is that what you were thinking just now?"

Makoto Haramura tossed the arrow that Shirai Kuroko had just shot up and down in his hand, looking down at Shirai Kuroko with a smile that seemed both mocking and smug.

"But the problem is, I'm not powerless."

Yes, that's right.

Before he awakened his abilities, even though his muscle density was extraordinary and he had defeated many powerful individuals.

However, he might actually fail if he encounters Shirai Kuroko.

After all, he knew best the combat power of spatial ability users.

But now!

hey-hey--

"Snapped--!"

There was another crisp sound of leather shoes hitting the ground. Upon closer inspection, Shirai Kuroko had moved from her previous position and landed on top of the paint bucket, wearing clothes riddled with holes.

And her beautiful eyebrows furrowed.

"What's going on? You're actually a space-type ability user?"

I don't understand, I really don't understand!

For their 177th branch, Makoto Haramura's information was already public knowledge.

The ability level column above clearly shows this information, which is entered into the library after the Academy City's annual ability tests.

It is absolutely impossible for it to be wrong.

As for the claim that Makoto Haramura's ability level was just upgraded?

That's even more impossible.

Even if Makoto Haramura possessed his own abilities, improved his calculation skills, and allowed his abilities to manifest, he would at most only reach Level 1.

But just now, Makoto Haramura easily transferred his moving metal arrow back to her.

At the same time, these metal arrows precisely avoided her body.

Without a doubt, his ability level is at least the same as mine.

However, as far as he knows, there should only be one person with spatial abilities at the same level as him, and that person is a woman.

How is this going.

That's what she was thinking, but Shirai Kuroko's other hand had already slid down to her thigh.

Although Shirai Kuroko hasn't experienced any life-or-death battles, her nearly one-year tenure as a disciplinary committee member has given her considerable combat experience.

"—!"

"?"

"what happened?"

The sudden turn of events made Shirai Kuroko unable to hold back her question and voice it.

She wasn't in a highly tense state, and her calculations had worked normally, so why hadn't she moved the silver needle?

"Why don't you try moving yourself again now?"

That tone is infuriating.

Haramura Seina's calm and composed expression, as if he were watching a show, only fueled Shirai Kuroko's anger.

(Concentrate, move!)

"What's going on?"

Her ability failed again.

There was clearly no interference, and she had accurately calculated the coordinates, so why did it still fail?

"It's no use. No matter how hard you try, you can't move yourself."

"I have sealed off the space around here."

That infuriating tone again.

Wait, what happened? The space is sealed off?

A moment of astonishment flashed in Shirai Kuroko's eyes, and her face naturally wore an expression of disbelief.

She had never heard of spatial ability users interfering with each other.

No, that's not right—

Could it be that?

Shirai Kuroko raised her head and looked at Haramura Makoto in surprise.

"Could it be that you are...?"

Chapter 171 Not Worthy of Sympathy

"Well then, we'll have a chance to meet again next time."

Haramura Makoto still wore that incredibly irritating smile in Shirai Kuroko's eyes, and blatantly left amidst Shirai Kuroko's gritting teeth.

Instead of leaving on foot, they teleported through space, just like she did.

"Sure enough, he should be the new Level 5."

Shirai Kuroko's brows furrowed deeply, her face filled with confusion.

According to the library's records, he is a person without abilities, a common trait among disciplinary committee members and security guards.

But just now he used a spatial ability right in front of me.

So, no matter how you look at it, this man can only be that newly promoted Level 5.

Reaching into the pocket above her skirt, Shirai Kuroko took out something that looked like a Bluetooth earphone and put it on.

"Hey, early spring, can you hear me?"

"I can hear you, I can hear you, what's wrong, Shirai-kun?"

"I've already done what you asked me to do: temporarily disable the surrounding surveillance cameras."

A cheerful voice immediately came from the other end of the earphone. Even without seeing the person directly, you could roughly imagine from the voice that it was a very cute girl.

"Thank you for your help, but no need. The blocked surveillance can be removed now."

Clenching her teeth, Shirai Kuroko spat out each word one by one from between her teeth.

Immediately, the sound of keyboards clattering filled the air, and the girl named Hatsuharu didn't seem to notice Shirai Kuroko's change in mood.

"Okay, okay."

"So, Shirai-san, what information did you get from your interrogation?"

"The entire school district's security and disciplinary committee members are now operating at full capacity, just waiting for your intelligence."

Normally, Uiharu Kazari would never agree to Shirai Kuroko's idea of ​​blocking surveillance and taking the law into her own hands.

This is because it violates the regulations for disciplinary committee members, and if discovered, it will be severely punished.

But now, it's clearly not that time anymore.

After all, infighting among powerless armed groups is happening almost everywhere, and there are also people with abilities mixed in. In addition to maintaining normal public order, security guards and disciplinary committee members are handling this matter.

If we can get the reason out of Makoto Haramura, the boss, we can probably resolve this incident.

That's why she agreed with Shirai Kuroko's idea.

"Don't even mention it, I didn't get any information out of him."

Shirai Kuroko looked sullen.

"Really? An ordinary person actually managed to escape from you?"

Shiori Haruhi was so surprised that she stopped what she was doing.

If it were someone with special abilities, that would be one thing, but for someone without special abilities to slip away from the hands of the powerful Shirai Kuroko is something she can hardly imagine.

It's worth noting that the reason Branch 177 is so famous now is not only because Shirai Kuroko is constantly causing trouble, but also because of how quickly she solves problems.

Level 4's "Spatial Movement" makes her invincible against criminals.

"No, the problem is that he is not powerless."

"Based on my guess, he is probably the newly promoted Level 5 'Time Warp'."

"In early spring, is the library access still available? Check this man's information again."

They, as disciplinary committee members, have access to the Academy City library.

Recently, due to the ongoing conflicts among ability users, the ability users they captured need to have their identities verified using information from the library, so access to the library has always been open to them.

"I understand. Leave it to me, I'll check it right now."

At the beginning of spring, Shiori's interest was clearly ignited, and the sound of her typing on the keyboard rang out again, but it only lasted for two or three seconds.

"Found it, Shirai-kun."

"Indeed, he is the new Level 5 'Time Warp', and the data has changed."

"Then what should we do now?"

This issue is indeed out in the open for both of them.

In the past, Shirai Kuroko could be said to have the upper hand, but now it's clear that she can no longer pose a threat to Haramura Makoto.

This is quite different from the previous plan.

The problem is that the two of them still need to get the reason for the 'Scorpio' riot from Makoto Haramura.

"Let's keep tracking that guy. I'll think of another way."
