Anime, Girlfriend Shokuhou Misaki.

Just as all was quiet, perhaps it was the sound of water being poured into a container. This sound rang out abruptly, startling countless mercenaries who immediately tensed up and turned their guns, pointing the dark muzzles at the source of the sound.

"It's finally here! I've been waiting for so long!"

"You guys are really too slow."

It was a pavilion in a garden.

Misaki Shokuhou held a white porcelain teapot in her hand, pouring the fragrant black tea, which was at the perfect temperature, into the teacup, causing the steam and aroma to waft out.

"But you've arrived, while my audience hasn't."

As if she were truly angry, Misaki Shokuhou pouted her lips, which bulged out like an angry pufferfish.

Even if you say that, there's a reason I came back late.

"Rare toys must be carefully preserved, otherwise they might die from accidental damage."

The silence that had just been broken has returned.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the man who had suddenly barged into the space.

Especially Saku Tatsuhiko, after seeing what Haramura Makoto was holding, cold sweat soaked his back.

That was a human head.

The cut on the neck was quite clean, so clean that it didn't look like it was made with an ordinary hunting knife.

Before the deceased died, his eyes were wide open, a look of unfulfilled grief.

You can roughly tell from his gaze before he died just how desperate he was.

And this face.

It was none other than the arrogant and wicked second person who had been with them just moments before.

——Emperor Superintendent of the Mo Yuan Material Wall Root!

It's gone.

Without a doubt, things are really messed up now.

Despite the incredulous roar raging within him, Saku Tatsuhiko had to believe his eyes.

Trust what your eyes can see.

The second person's head was indeed in the hands of the man in front of him.

"After all, we need to freeze time in his final moments of brain death and keep his brain active."

"We also need to ensure the integrity of the surgical procedure attached to his neck, which is a huge waste of time."

As he spoke, Makoto Haramura shook the head in his hand.

Yes, this scene is absolutely terrifying no matter how you look at it.

"I know, Makoto, you're being a bit disgusting."

Faced with this horrifying scene, Misaki Shokuhou did not scream like a typical girl; instead, she remained surprisingly calm.

"Talent Workshop has been very successful in this experiment. We'll hand it over to the researchers later and have them proliferate his brain according to the specifications of an external brain."

It's just a headshot; how could Misaki Shokuhou be shocked by that?

She's long been used to this kind of situation.

As she spoke, Misaki Shokuhou took out her phone, as if she were sending a message.

"Teleport to the first research lab; the researchers are ready."

"Ok."

The hand holding Kakine Teitoku's head shook again, and the head that was in his hand disappeared completely.

"Alright, hurry up and drink some black tea and rest for a bit."

Along with Misaki Shokuhou's voice, a stream of clear water appeared, accompanied by her snapping of her fingers.

The water flow directly cleaned all the dirt off Haramura Makoto's body.

He completely ignored the mercenaries piled up at the door, went straight to the table, picked up the teacup and swirled it slightly, causing the bright red tea soup inside to ripple. He took a small sip and immediately felt the fragrance linger on his lips and teeth.

"It's sweet and mellow, with a wonderful aroma. Xiao Qi's skills are getting better and better."

Upon hearing this, Misaki Shokuhou immediately showed a matter-of-fact expression, but the smile in the corner of her eyes was very bright.

Seeing that the two seemed completely absorbed in tea tasting and flirting, Saku Tatsuhiko secretly waved his hand, causing all the mercenaries around to disperse and completely enclose the indoor garden.

Submachine guns, grenades, sniper rifles, and even heavy weapons like rocket launchers were set up.

At the same time, a device resembling a large loudspeaker was also brought in.

Makoto Haramura directly eliminated the second-ranked player, which truly shocked Tatsuhiko Saku.

This practically means that their partnership with the school is meaningless.

However, they are not without a chance.

The area has now been narrowed down to its limit; the ability jammers are enough to fill the entire room, and the guns are all aimed at these two guys.

Even if this man is, as rumored, a Primal Stone user and therefore unaffected by ability interference devices.

They also had enough time to control the woman.

Once they control the sixth person, even this man will have no choice but to obey their orders.

However, Kihara Ayaki is still a very important woman. As for this man, let's just forget about him. Unless he can keep his girlfriend under control, he's a ticking time bomb.

In an instant, this mature and brand-new plan appeared directly in Saku Tatsuhiko's mind.

The chances of this plan succeeding are extremely high.

Very high.

Saku Tatsuhiko felt that the chances of him succeeding were quite high.

"They're just a group of ordinary people. Even if they gather a number of five thousand, how dare ants charge at an elephant?"

As Makoto Haramura savored the black tea specially made for him by Misaki Shokuhou, he glanced around at the people who had formed a tight encirclement, leaving no room for escape. A faint smile appeared in his eyes.

"So, this is all you've got."

"They're no different from those thugs in Academy City."

The moment he uttered those words, Makoto Haramura's gaze fell squarely on Tatsuhiko Saku in the crowd.

The moment he was met with that cold gaze, Saku Tatsuhiko's heart tightened, and he gripped the gun with even more force, the veins on the back of his hand bulging out.

But what did Makoto Haramura say wrong?

In his eyes, these guys' methods were indeed the same as those of an incompetent armed group.

No one understands the methods of powerless armed groups better than Makoto Haramura.

After all, the leader of the largest powerless armed group in Academy City is sitting right here.

In Academy City, in battles between low-level or no-level users and high-level users, the high-level users will always win; there will never be an exception.

Why is it that a group of incompetent thugs who only know how to fight and get by sometimes dare to target students from Tokiwadai Middle School without any sense of their own limitations?

It's important to know that the minimum ability level required to get into Tokiwadai Middle School is Level 3.

What they rely on is the psychological intimidation of the naive young girls in Academy City, interfering with the precise calculations in their brains.

Organizations like Haramura Makoto's powerless armed groups sometimes use expensive ability interference devices and heavy weapons obtained from research institutes to drive away malicious ability users.

If Saku Tatsuhiko can get his hands on something, how could Haramura Makoto not be able to?

"They really are high and mighty, avatars."

The other mercenaries were all hired from outside and were unaware of the identities of the two men in front of them, and Saku Tatsuhiko had no intention of telling them either.

They're all just cannon fodder anyway.

But as the leader of one of Academy City's dark organizations, he knew it best.

The fourth and sixth ranked cities in Academy City.

He is considered no different from a monster, and is one of only eight Level 5 members.

Each of them possesses the superpower to wipe out a well-equipped modern army.

"Although your appearance surprised us, the situation is still under our control."

"A total of one hundred sniper rifles, grenades, and rocket launchers were all aimed at your girlfriend, who is our fourth target."

"We have already equipped ourselves with devices that interfere with computing and devices that guard against mental control."

"Perhaps in your eyes, killing us is as easy and effortless as killing insects."

Saku Tatsuhiko laughed loudly, appearing as if he had gone mad.

"But there are a total of 4,500 insects, not only those inside this room, but also their companions outside the room who have prepared mercury bombs. They will explode immediately if there is even the slightest tilt."

"Now, leave the coordinate movement to me."

The black muzzle exuded an aura of darkness.

This tone and action are just like a threat.

His expression was exceptionally urgent.

The longer it drags on, the more dangerous it becomes, and Saku Tatsuhiko knows this well, so he has no intention of continuing to delay.

"Wanting to move coordinates, what a simple and unpretentious wish."

Upon hearing this, Haramura Makoto chuckled lightly, completely ignoring the gun in the other person's hand, and said with a mocking tone:

"Whether it's you, or the guy I've already turned into production material."

"Why do you think that as long as you break into Aleister's hiding place, you can control him?"

"Aren't you guys being a little too confident?"

Excuse me, but Makoto Haramura is about to burst out laughing.

Even with his current form, Makoto Haramura cannot claim that he has a guaranteed victory over Aleister.

Even if he gives it his all, he can probably only manage a draw with Aleister?

The estimated cost would be the destruction of the entire planet, yet these idiots actually believed that the chairman of Academy City was just an ordinary person.

Come to think of it, he's actually starting to have a little bit of hope now.

I'm looking forward to seeing this bunch of idiots confidently storm into Aleister's research facility, only to be killed by Aleister or the artificial angel beside him.

I have a feeling this scene looks pretty funny.

"Indeed, listening to a few idiots barking like this makes even the limited edition items I bought specially taste bad."

"Snapped--!"

At the same time these words were spoken, a crisp snap of fingers also rang out.

"It seems you thought I had been affected by your jamming device."

“In the past, that would indeed have been the case.”

"However, I've already changed, Block Leader."

Saku Tatsuhiko's pupils dilated violently; he could hardly believe that the woman in front of him was speaking.

Ability interference devices are the natural enemy of ability users and are impossible to resist.

Even if you know in advance, using earplugs to block out the sound won't work, because earplugs can't completely block it out.

There is only one way to deal with it.

That means you have to destroy your own eardrum; only in this way can you completely block the entry of sound waves.

so.

Realizing the situation, Tatsuhiko Saku quickly turned his head, and when he saw the star-like eyes in his subordinate's eyes, his heart sank completely.

The sixth person, when manipulating others, will exhibit a distinct characteristic.

The manipulated person will have their pupils turn into the same star-shaped pupils as the one who manipulates Misaki Shokuhou.

Not one or two.
