Clip exposure, the savior Kamijou Touma

"This human being called Kihara Pathology has transformed his own body by stealing the abilities of a certain psychic."

"Her current physical condition doesn't seem to be as stable as the mechanical assistance equipment I use, and the most direct evidence is that she has no emotional stability at all and is in an almost insane state."

In the world of One Punch Man, Genos, a disciple who is temporarily staying at One Punch Man Saitama's house, can barely see the fights and various details in the video.

Although his practice was not enough, as a devilish mechanical cyborg he was able to change his eyesight and pupil focus to achieve precise navigation, so he saw many details and clues worth noting in the video.

"Another point worth noting is the man named Kihara Kagun in the video. He was born a scientist, but he was able to learn and use magic. Could it be that there is such a technology in this world that can combine two completely contradictory powers into one, teacher?"

Who would understand this?

"..." Saitama, who was still not very interested in watching the video content while sitting in front of the computer, was questioned by Genos, who he considered to be his beloved disciple, with a lot of academic words. He tried his best to pretend that he understood it, but the sweat stains from his smooth and bright boiled egg head kept dripping into his bowl of noodles because of his bluffing.

"Well, as for this kind of thing, I can only say that I understand the principle."

Saitama didn't know how to respond to Genos's expected question, so he just watched the fight in the video.

Finally, he held up a lollipop and acted nonchalant: "...Well, this kind of thing doesn't matter anyway, right?"

After all, it is a monster that has undergone such a sudden change.

It would surely cause a commotion no matter where it was placed.

however--

The biggest commotion was not in the heavens and the world where people were talking about the forced combination of superpowers and physical bodies that turned into monsters.

At this moment, the place with the biggest commotion was obviously Academy City itself.

"Is it actually a superpower of physical transformation?"

Although they are boys who grew up in Academy City, Touma, who once lost his memory, has a fundamentally different feeling towards these super-powered people who seem to be the products of another world from his perspective as a powerless person.

After all, this is where all the stories began.

The child named Index unlocked Kamijou Touma's first impression of the magnificent world of magic.

The brown-haired electric girl who often gets angry for no reason but is actually very kind-hearted represents the starting point of Kamijou Touma's impression of the scientific side.

"Come to think of it, the only esper users in Academy City that I haven't met yet are... the second, fourth, fifth, and sixth."

Although this sequence of acquaintance is also entirely through the scenes in the editing.

The first one is Accelerator, his old friend.

The second is currently unknown.

The third one, A Certain Scientific Railgun, is also an old friend.

The fourth is currently unknown.

The fifth is currently unknown.

The sixth is currently unknown.

The seventh is Sogiita Gunha, whom he met at the Daihastar Festival. It can be said that they did not know each other until they fought.

Hmm... that's a bit strange.

Wait...it seems like one of them has actually seen it before?

For a moment, I didn't know why.

The boy named Kamijou Touma entered a state of mental breakdown and had no idea how to get out of this predicament.

Until Tsuchimikado beside him intervened in confusion: "That's not right, Touma, didn't you see Shokuhou Misaki, the fifth place winner, in the Daihasei Festival?"

As he said this, some information about the blonde queen emerged in Tsuchimikado's mind, who even he felt was difficult to deal with.

Shokuhou Misaki is an expert at mental manipulation.

That was a person who had worked in the Anbu.

And in the previous Daihasei Festival plot, he inexplicably spoke to Kamijou Touma in a very happy and cheerful tone...

"Don't you remember it?" he asked in surprise, but alarm bells were ringing in his heart. He always felt that there was something strange about all this.

After all, Kamijou is a nice guy who can remember the names of even the cats and dogs passing by for a while.

But now, this guy actually said that he had forgotten the person who had given him important tips in the edited video, whom he had just met?

Of course...from Touma's perspective in the clip, he certainly wouldn't know who was communicating with him, but from the audience's perspective, they all knew very well at the time that all this was thanks to the Queen of Tokiwadai Academy, Shokuhou Misaki.

Tsuchimikado's gaze, hidden behind his sunglasses, was fixed on the young man.

Then--

Touma shook his head. "Um... Shokuhou Misaki, I'm sorry, I seem a little dizzy and don't remember much."

"I see." Tsuchimikado didn't ask any further questions because he was already sure that there was something wrong.

On the other side...

"A man who has saved the world doesn't even know all seven of his city's iconic figures?"

"You are a half-baked outsider. You are really a strange creature that doesn't fit in with either science or magic."

Well, well, that bastard Stiyl has found another opportunity to teach me a lesson.

It's so hateful. Why do I have to get to know this group of big shots? They have nothing to do with unlucky people like me who occasionally have no water in the apartment or even the food they buy is expired.

Kamijou Touma said in a self-deprecating manner, "Well, anyway, it's all thanks to you that I was able to save the world for no apparent reason. It was you who stopped the runaway Index midway, Mr. Skinner Stiyl."

It was just a joke with no bad intention at all.

The Skinner refers to the three private incidents in which Stiyl was hung on the ceiling by Oreos's great golden magic, with his skin stretched and bursting.

This sentence is quite offensive. After all, in the original editing plot, Stiyl looked at Oreos with full confidence that he could definitely defeat him.

But...Touma, who rarely said this with the intention of retorting, seemed to have missed a crucial point in his speech.

So much so that behind him, a series of light footsteps, like the footsteps of an assassin, which he would not notice even if he listened carefully, began to approach him gradually.

"Index?" This might be the first time that Kamijou Kaori called out this name in a long time. Looking at the silver-haired nun approaching Touma with gloomy and angry eyes, she called out the other's name almost instinctively.

Of course...Touma, who was already caught up in the argument with Stiyl and had forgotten to take certain precautions, definitely could not hear Kanzaki Kaori's voice.

and--

When the nun named Index approached from the corner of the shadow.

And Touma, with his back to her, was still enjoying discussing the rhetoric with her.

Stiyl smiled happily, or rather... a smile full of evil humor: "The word you said may have some extended meaning, but I don't care at all, because I am not the one who is really hurt by your self-proclaimed clever words."

Not you?

Is this a change of subject?

Touma couldn't help but frown, thinking that the idiot in front of him was just pretending, and couldn't help but ask, "Huh? What do you mean by that?"

[——Bang...Bang!!]

The two consecutive sounds of footsteps on the floor seemed like a sonata that showed the sense of existence.

That was a threat from Index.

In just a moment, it was pressed tightly on Kamijou Touma's head.

The painful wail that followed was probably the most indelible memory in the life of Kamijou Touma.

And during this farce.

Only Tsuchimikado remained calm.

After thinking about why Touma couldn't remember the name Shokuhou Misaki... no, perhaps the possibility and reason why he couldn't remember this concept, he turned his attention back to the video.

To be fair, among the few people present.

He was probably the only one who had had contact with the Kihara family.

Same as mentioned in the video.

This family is called Kihara.

Almost all the people who were born into this family were complete lunatics.

It is a life form that is absolutely favored by science.

They are a race of absolute geniuses and also absolutely crazy people who can understand science just by looking at the mountains, looking down at the flowing water, reading various books, and even from the structure and operation of many toys that naughty children play with.

For the advancement of science, this group of people will absolutely do everything they can.

Therefore...it is absolutely impossible for rationality to exist.

"Departing from the scientific camp and helping Gremlin on the magic side to forge weapons from the energy of volcanic ash, this behavior is for revenge, but it is too thorough... I think the existence hidden behind this magician organization called Gremlin is definitely not worse than the Right Flame, and it is even possible that it is stronger!?"

A man who is also a part-time magician and a science duo, but who actually has no choice but to do so for his adopted sister, is watching the video.

Looking at the fight between the angular and stern-faced man in the picture, for some reason, he weighed his glasses.

"What's wrong with you?" Kamiya Kaori noticed that something was wrong with Tsuchimikado and couldn't help but ask.

The answer was negative.

"Of course it's nothing, big sister, it's just...it's just..."

As he was talking, Tsuchimikado turned his back and looked at the two orthodox Kihara members who were still fighting in the video.

For some reason, the tone of the narration was slow and filled with a sigh of sadness and melancholy:

"This is the first time I feel lucky that the Kihara family actually has such a passionate messenger of justice."

Along with this whisper.

The audience's perspective shifted again.

Looking at the isolated snowfield.

Watching myself fighting in the video.

The man named Kihara Kagun doesn't actually have much reality.

Yeah...no sense of reality.

It is because I am looking at this matter from behind the video.

So, from the perspective of a member of the Kihara family who is born crazy but rational, and who rules the scientific side—

“The structure of the results and process in this video is, at best, a rehearsal.”

The stern-faced young man took off his helmet and sat alone in the barrier camp where no one visited him. He calmly watched the video of himself trying his best in the raging war.

And the Kihara pathology that tried desperately to get rid of itself by all means.

He believed.

The other person must be thinking the same thing while watching the video at this moment.

Maybe..he meant maybe.

Without the exposure of this clip.

If all the previews and trends of this world are indeed moving in the direction of this video.

That is indeed—

He did complete his revenge on Kihara Pathologist in this edited video.

but--

"In reality, wanting to completely trust this rehearsal and give up re-setting tactics is a self-righteous mistake. Anyone with Kihara's blood will never lose their judgment ability because of the scenes in this video."

This is absolute reality.

Precisely.

It starts from the moment the scene of the successful implementation of his plan appears in the edited video.

In fact, Kihara Kagun's own plan has been largely scrapped.

but--

He wouldn't feel it's such a pity.

We will not let Kihara Pathology off just because of this result.

The man named Kihara Kagun just confirmed that his method was indeed feasible.
