Chapter 68: story starts
"We know you have superpowers. We also have proof."
"fuck..."
It's my third day in this world, and I am already messing up the story.
I did promise myself that I wouldn't interfere in this story, but it seems like I messed up again.
It seems that the Kumagami guy tracked my abilities.
It would've been simple if it was just that... Apparently he also discovered that I have many abilities.
[5-second Stasis], [Corrupt], and [Invisibility]. Somehow I could awaken a new ability every day.
It must be due to my unique skill, [Awakening].
Anyways, now I am surrounded by the rest of the student council members. All of them are ready to apprehend me in case I resist.
Well, I am already a part of the student council so the most that can happen is me having to capture kids with superpowers along with other members.
...Yeah, I don't think I'll work under them. Not happening at all. If I'm gonna be a part of this story, I'll at least conquer the world or something.
The most surprising thing here would be that Nao still hasn't tried hitting me even once.
From what I know about her character, her fists are faster than her voice. She won't waste time with words when she can convince someone through her punches.
I must be safe because I am her Childhood friend. Yep, I grew up with her. I'm something like her older brother, our ages are the same though.
After she lost her brother, she started treating me as her real older brother, to escape the pain...
It was such shocking information to me that I didn't talk to her at all for the past two days. Now that I think about it, she must've thought I was angry at her.
Oh, and Yuu Otasaka is not with them. It seems the story hasn't even started yet.
Now I have two options. Use my powers to get out of here and destroy everyone with superpowers, or join Nao and act like a good guy for once.
Hmm... Let's try the second option this time. An unexpected decision by me. There it goes, ultimate skill: Talk-no-jutsu.
"Nao, you and I... we are not so different... I have superpowers too..."
blah blah blah... I managed to talk my way out.
---
"So... we just capture these superpower kids and put them in the school until they lose their superpowers? Sounds boring to me."
"We are helping people!!"
"yeah whatever..."
It seems that the story finally began. Today we captured Yuu Otasaka and he joined the student council.
Oh, and I awakened two more abilities, Heat vision and Accelerated Cognition.
Also, my magic abilities turned out to be a waste of time. Unlike before, when seven automatically collected mana from my surroundings for me to use, now I will have to do it myself. And I definitely don't have the time or patience to sit quietly and collect mana.
I can't even use basic magic now.
Anyways, not my problem. I'll stick to these abilities for now.
"So, who are we going to capture this time?" I asked Nao, who was walking beside me.
"There's some guy with 'Thoughtography' ability, and he's using it to sell nudes of his classmates."
"..."
"..."
"Seriously?" I doubted my ears, probably for the first time in my life.
"Yeah, he's a creep." Nao replied with a disgusted face.
It must be that guy called 'Udo'. He's using an ability like 'Thoughtography' to sell photos and make money? What the hell? If you want money, use the photos to blackmail people, create scandals, destroy people's reputations, and make them your slaves!
Why is he using his ability so stupidly?! I guess, that's a good guy for you...
"There he is..."
We walked into an archery club and found him practicing with bows and arrows.
"We-"
"Corrupt..." I think Nao was gonna say something, but I instead used my ability.
"What did you do, Izanagi!?" Nao shouted at me. Of course she would, the guy we came to capture is crawling on the ground, crying and screaming while clutching his head.
"I just... turned him blind... Temporarily." Yeah, I took away his eyesight. I don't want him to see Nao with an ability like that.
I would've killed him if it won't bring me more trouble.
"You made him blind!? I'm pretty sure blind people don't just cry like they are in some nightmare!!" Yep, she's mad. looks like she wanted to deal with this in her 'peaceful' way.
"Ok, I might or might not have trapped him in his worst nightmares..." I definitely did that.
"Sigh... Whatever. Turn it off... your ability..." Oh, she's mad.
Hmm... how about this, I'll give his eyesight back, but if he tries to use his ability he will experience a deadly headache.
"Ah! I can see again! I don't wanna eat pineapple pizza anymore!!" Udo cried as he shivered with what appeared to be PTSD.
"...This was your idea of 'worst' nightmare?" Nao looked deadpan at me, her eyes filled with disappointment.
what did she expect? should I have killed his parents in the nightmares?
"It worked pretty well though."
"It really did. Pineapple on pizza does sound traumatic." Yuu commented. oh right, I forgot this guy was here with us.
Hearing his words, both I and Nao looked at him in utter disappointment.
""What are you, an Italian?"" We both spoke at the same time.
"pff-"
"pff-"
"well, that was funny. now let's deal with this guy." Nao turned serious
"Oh don't worry. he won't be able to use his powers anymore. He's just a normal person now" I replied.
"Sigh... So our work here is done?" Nao facepalmed with bafflement.
"I guess you were right. Our work IS boring..." Yuu commented.
"I'm always right." I said as I walked out of the archery club.
"You guys go ahead, I have to make a call." I said to Nao and Yuu.
"Sure."
"Be quick, or we'll leave you here."
After they both went away, I dialed a number.
"Hey, is this XXXX hospital?" I asked on the phone.
"no sir, this is 'Kenkō Jinsei Hospital'." A female voice came through.
"yeah, whatever. You have two patients with the surname Emiya, parents of Udo Emiya. Proceed with their treatment. The payment is done." I replied.
"wait a second sir, let me confirm... Oh, we just received the payment. their condition isn't serious, but we will start the treatment immediately."
"Thanks." I ended the call and sighed...
"When did I start caring about others...?"
Aletia really was a bad influence on me... I gained empathy because of her... such a nuisance of an emotion...
putting my thoughts aside, I went to Nao and Yuu.
they were waiting for me at the main gate.
"let's go back, guys." I patted their backs and pushed them ahead.
Nao is looking at me with a mischievous glint.
"...You, pff-, know I can turn invisible, right?" She suddenly said, trying to hold back her laugh.
"...Fuck..."
