Anime, Girlfriend Shokuhou Misaki.

"At least now you have an unprecedentedly strong card in your hand. You'll be more confident in doing things in the future, won't you?"

Misaki Shokuhou also stepped forward, smiling brightly, and said:

"However, the subsequent handling is very troublesome, after all, it's a Level 5, and a former member of the dark side."

"It's difficult to keep her under my control."

"But ultimately, the benefits outweigh the costs, right?"

Releasing Mugino Shizuri, she casually tossed her to the ground, a rather rough action.

However, Makoto Haramura didn't have a single bit of goodwill towards her.

Generally speaking, it's rare for his favorability towards someone to be negative, but fortunately, Mugino Shizuri managed to do it.

After all, who could like a crazy woman?

"Forget it, I'll forgive you this time."

"But if you ever risk such a dangerous plan again, I'll never forgive you, understand?"

Misaki Shokuhou glared at Makoto Haramura unhappily.

Who could have imagined what kind of terrible idea this guy came up with at the beginning?

By using the tense rhythm of battle to constantly put mental pressure on Mugino Shizuri, eventually causing her unfamiliar electricity-generating ability to pause, Misaki Shokuhou would seize that moment to control her.

This is a tactic that can only be effective against Mugino Shizuri.

After all, she has extremely poor control over her own ability, and she can't maintain an electromagnetic barrier around herself at all times like the Third Seat.

Just thinking about how much risk was involved made Misaki Shokuhou feel a little suffocated.

She didn't want to lose this man.

Fortunately, she had come prepared.

She brought the latest technology from the Artificial Workshop: button-sized bombs and a blocking fluid that could block biological signals.

That's why there was a new plan.

Taking advantage of the information gap, Mugino Shizuri didn't know she had arrived, so she controlled Kinuhata Saiai and gave the blocking fluid to Kinuhata Saiai.

At the moment when Mugino Shizuri thought she had killed Makoto Haramura, when she lowered her guard, Kinuhata Saiai would inject the blocking fluid into Mugino Shizuri's body.

As long as the blocking fluid was injected, victory would belong to her and Makoto Haramura.

After all, the moment the blocking fluid was injected, Mugino Shizuri's computing ability would be drastically weakened. As for controlling Frenda to launch missiles later, that was just extra.

"I know."

"More than that, let's evacuate from here first."

Makoto Haramura waved his hand helplessly.

"I still need to appease that little one."

The big trouble, Makoto Haramura, had dealt with it pretty much, but the small trouble hadn't been dealt with yet.

Like the destroyed 'Leo' base, and Fremea, who had woken up just now and was knocked unconscious again by Misaki Shokuhou.

He needed to deal with them quickly.

"That's true."

Misaki Shokuhou also sighed.

Because Makoto Haramura had notified her suddenly, she had prepared many things in a hurry, and she also had many things to deal with.

"In that case, why don't we go to my place first?"

"If this little girl has any problems, I can also help sort them out."

"Can I go?"

Makoto Haramura tilted his head.

Although he didn't know much, Misaki Shokuhou had told him what kind of research institute the so-called Artificial Workshop was.

Its importance was probably among the top in the entire Academy City.

"Of course you can."

"Speaking of which, are you teasing me?"

Misaki Shokuhou pouted her little mouth, looking at Makoto Haramura with dissatisfaction.

"No, no, let's go over now."

"To avoid any unforeseen delays, I'm also worried that this guy will wake up. Let's control her quickly and give her a thorough brainwashing."

"Otherwise, it won't be so easy to catch her again."

Makoto Haramura shrugged, then raised his right hand, his gaze seemingly falling on his index finger.

A strange brilliance flickered in his eyes.

"Moreover, there are some things I can't wait to confirm."

"Hmm—"

Looking at Makoto Haramura's actions, Misaki Shokuhou's already good mood became even more elated.

She walked over, grabbed Makoto Haramura's arm rather forcefully, and gently pressed the remote control with her other hand.

"Let's go back."

"Right now, I have an unprecedentedly high interest in being able to properly train a Level 5."

Chapter 036: The Ring Spirit is Izayoi?

Second District!

Sitting in Misaki Shokuhou's car, Makoto Haramura saw the huge white soundproof wall.

This district is mainly responsible for automobiles and gunpowder, and is the district with the strongest heavy industrial color. It is also the training center for security guards and disciplinary committee members, so it is also the district with the most secrets.

"It seems like you rarely come here."

The driver was in the front, and Makoto Haramura and Misaki Shokuhou were in the back. Although the car was quite spacious, Misaki Shokuhou still leaned very close to him, so a faint fragrance always lingered around his nose.

"Indeed, I rarely come."

"Or rather, I've hardly set foot here except when I was very young."

Speaking of this, Makoto Haramura spread his hands helplessly.

"Logically speaking, what are you thinking? Obviously, a delinquent leader like me wouldn't come to the territory of the disciplinary committee members and security guards for no reason, right?"

Along the way, it could be clearly seen.

Compared to other districts, the security here was simply too strict.

Not only were cameras placed everywhere, but disciplinary committee members and security guards could also be seen patrolling on the road.

"Haha—"

"I think even if you came, they probably wouldn't do anything to you."

Covering her little mouth, Misaki Shokuhou chuckled.

"However, we've arrived."

After turning, the speed of the car obviously slowed down, and a huge building with a trapezoidal shape overall directly came into Makoto Haramura's view.

"This is the Artificial Workshop, Third Research Lab!"

...

The pure white room was about forty to fifty square meters in size.

Although the room was a bit monotonous in color, it was fully equipped with all the necessary facilities, whether it was a table, a bed, or a TV.

It lacked a sense of life, but it was a genuine guest room.

Makoto Haramura sat cross-legged on the bed, looking intently at the ring he had taken off his finger.

"If I didn't have a hallucination just now, I should do this, right?"

With this in mind, Makoto Haramura slowly closed his eyes.

At the moment when Makoto Haramura completely lost consciousness, a slightly playful voice directly poured into his mind.

"Kid, you're finally in."

Is this a dream?

Or is this another space?

Or is my soul in this state?

Looking at the surrounding environment, Makoto Haramura was in a vast open space.

There was nothing in the open space, not even weeds, just a bare, desolate open space.

"It seems that if I want to find the answer, it can only be there."

"The voice I heard just now should have come from inside, right?"

That's right, it wasn't entirely an open space.

In the very center of the area surrounded by walls, a rural-style building with an extremely strong Japanese style was located there.

His steps were steady, without a trace of hesitation as he walked towards it.

He was not a native resident of this world, but a transmigrator to this world.

However, it wasn't a soul replacement or anything like that, but a reincarnated person who was directly born into this world and lived for sixteen years.

At first, he also thought that he would be like the predecessors of the other transmigrator army, gaining a system at the start and reaching the peak from then on.

But the facts told him that all of this was just his fantasy.

Born into an ordinary family, he always felt that he was no different from those ordinary children.

But at that time, he didn't think anything of it, and he didn't care.

Although he didn't have a system, maybe his body was extremely talented, and coincidentally, he had found a place in this world where he could develop his talent.

—Academy City!

A magical and incredible place. It was hard to imagine how superpowers could be linked to science.

But he knew that no matter what, this might be the starting point for him to show his talent.

Thus!

After obtaining his parents' consent, he came to this city.

However, reality is always cruel.

Everything he had expected had not been realized in this city. His inability to grow after three years of hard work had long made him recognize these realities.

That was why he had fallen into depravity later, and that was why he had become like this now.

However, just after he had dodged Mugino Shizuri's attack, something he had been waiting for for nearly sixteen years suddenly appeared in his mind.

"Kid, the energy is finally saved up. When you have time, empty your mind and don't resist. I'll pull you in."

Slowly opening the sliding door, inside was, not surprisingly, a genkan and a washitsu.

It wasn't the cold, emotionless, mechanical voice he had imagined, but a very human voice.

Normally, many people would be wary of such things, and even throw away the things in their hands directly, right?

But he didn't.

He had long been tired of this kind of life. He wanted to seek change, he wanted himself to change.

Even if there might be risks involved.

"The innermost room, come in."

This familiar female voice came out again from deeper inside the room.
