Chapter 1: New Ability, Dismantle
Hoshinoumi Academy.
Student Council.
In the empty activity room, there is a spiral staircase leading to bookshelves on the top floor. A table covered with a city map occupies the center of the student council activity room, starkly contrasting with the décor around it.
The map is detailed and could be considered the best option to locate someone who's up to no good.
Furthermore, behind the student council president's table near the window, there is a beautiful girl with a white ponytail, wearing a lovely red school uniform, and a pair of eyes carefully staring at the Camcorder in her hands. She's tinkering with it roughly.
Her cute little mouth slightly pouts~
"Weird, is this thing broken?"
"The evidence I recorded last time hasn't been saved~"
The girl feels a bit annoyed.
"President, is the assistant here?"
At this moment, a young man wearing the Hoshinoumi Academy's black student uniform with blue hair parted in the middle slowly enters from the activity room door and approaches the white-haired girl.
With each step he takes, some shards of glass fall from his body, and his disheveled clothes make him look quite distressed.
For those unaware, they might think he's just returned from being transported to another world.
"I'm not sure. Maybe soon..."
"Whoa!"
"Idiot! Are you using your ability again?!"
As the white-haired girl speaks, she raises her head and glances at the young man, startled by his appearance.
She unconsciously steps back!
"President, it's not the first time you've seen me in a mess. No need to be too surprised."
The young man raises his hand and pushes up his glasses, his posture very graceful.
The white-haired girl complains: "These are two different things, okay? Suddenly a bloody-faced man comes before me. Everyone would be shocked."
"Is there blood?"
"See for yourself."
She takes out a mirror and places it in front of the young man.
For a moment...
A handsome face smeared with blood suddenly appears before the young man.
Seeing this scene, Takato Jojiro's expression suddenly changes; he looks as if he's seen a wild beast, and he faints on the spot.
"Damn! Do I have to keep getting injured to use this ability?!"
Jojiro slowly raises his head, clenches his fists, his sad eyes filled with sorrow and tears.
Pain! It's so painful!
"Isn't it nice to walk normally? I have to court death."
Tomori Nao holds her face with one hand, plays with the Camcorder in her hand, purses her lips, and says.
Jojiro adjusts his glasses and says: "For the beef curry I like, I have to use extraordinary means."
"Isn't this just seeking death?"
"This is called love! President!"
"What kind of love is this?!"
"Love!"
"Don't be angry! You idiot!"
Nao says angrily.
*Creak—*
Nao and Jojiro hear the sound and quickly shift their gaze.
They see the door being quickly opened, and then, a man with long hair covering his face and water slowly dripping enters from outside and reaches the map in the middle.
Then, he slowly extends his finger.
A drop of water flows from his fingertip and lands on the map.
"His ability this time is Dismantle." The grim man says slowly.
After uttering these words, he turns around and leaves without any carelessness.
It's like completing a task.
"Dismantle?"
Jojiro starts to think.
Nao takes a chocolate bar from the table and approaches the map while eating snacks.
"It sounds like a very powerful ability~"
"It doesn't seem easy to deal with."
"Who knows, you'll find out once you go there."
"Do you want to bring more people?"
"No need. Even though it's a strong ability, you still have to be able to see the target." Nao says casually.
Her ability is specifically designed to defeat those with single-target attack abilities.
"That's true." Jojiro nods.
He still has great confidence in Nao's abilities as the president.
"Alright, let's go."
Nao smiles and raises her hand to show motivation and enthusiasm before leaving.
Then, she takes her Camcorder and shines it on the area of the map wet with droplets.
Location: Under the bridge.
＊＊＊
Under the bridge.
It's a very empty area, and basically, no one would come here. It could be said that this is a must-have choice for murder and arson.
Many gang fights in society happen here.
Blood is an old theme here.
"Let's capture them mercilessly! Monsters!"
Loud and sharp voices are heard.
Under the deserted bridge, a group of fully armed combatants hold light machine guns in their hands, aiming at the men and women in front of them with serious expressions. They don't slacken their guard just because the other party is a bunch of kids.
In this world...
Kids with superpowers are a very frightening existence.
"Hey~ Are you not afraid of death like this?"
Hearing the ultimatum issued by the armed men, the silver-haired young man standing not far from the gunpoint not only doesn't feel any fear, but he also puts one of his hands in his pants pocket, holds a milk tea in his other hand, and starts drinking.
He's completely unthreatened by them.
Instead, he finds them rather ridiculous.
"No, not really..."
"I don't want to go back again..."
A soft and sweet voice suddenly sounded.
The little girl hiding behind the young man involuntarily shrinks her little head and closes her eyes tightly, not daring to know what's happening outside the world.
Her character could be described as shy as a mouse.
"Hey, do you only have this little power? Why didn't you look so shy when you fled from the laboratory earlier? Why are you doing it now as if it's a meditation?"
The young man smiles and mocks the little girl.
"I..."
The little girl falls silent.
She doesn't know how to answer for a moment.
"This is my last warning. Please stop your resistance, surrender, and follow us back to the laboratory. This way, you can avoid death!"
The armed man says again.
They're becoming impatient.
Although every person with superpowers is a valuable lab rat, what's most needed in this world are teenage boys and girls. Without them, searching for others would just be a waste of time.
They don't feel bad about it at all.
However...
Faced with the warning from the armed men, the young man chooses not to answer. He just stares at them with disdain before slowly raising his right hand's two fingers.
"Kai (Dismantle)."
The Cursed Technique is activated!
"Pfft!"
The sound of flesh and blood bursting suddenly resounds.
Before the armed man rushing in front could react, he's split into two by an unseen slash in an instant, and along with the gun in his hand, he's divided into a perfect axial symmetrical figure.
Blood splatters everywhere. It only takes a moment for the ground to turn red.
"I don't like people bothering me."
The cold voice suddenly echoes in the empty bridge below, making people shudder.
Following behind him are a pair of cold and arrogant eyes that gaze down at the world, as if nothing in this world concerns him.
