Chapter 215 Pre-battle Relaxation
The fermentation of this incident was not as great as Kazumi had imagined. The school simply attributed it to the commotion caused by a certain lightning ability teacher experimenting with their abilities. Such ordinary news did not cause any ripple in this Academy, which was full of psychics.
After all, the real parties involved were only Sato Shinichi and Mai Shinomiyai. Kazumi herself was, at most, a minor participant. There were no excessively terrifying casualties.
Except for Mai Shinomiyai, who was slightly more seriously injured and was sent to the hospital, the carefree Sato Shinichi, this guy, simply put on a bandage and happily came to class. It was hard to imagine that this lively creature was the one who had his chest pierced before.
As the top hero school in the country, Shikoku naturally had the means to continue maintaining students’ daily study and life when threatened by hostile forces.
With the presence of Sticky Hetuan, one of the top forces of the Association, and a large number of hero teachers, coupled with the fact that their location was not too far from the headquarters of the Heroes Association, they were basically not afraid of any attacks from hostile forces.
Of course, the reason for not spreading the news was for the stability of the entire academy. The defense and security level was still quietly raised to the highest level by the school. Moreover, due to the investigation of internal personnel after the previous incident, this seemingly peaceful first school was suddenly in turmoil.
As for all of the above, it had little to do with their Kazumi. What the young girl could do was probably just maintain her peaceful and happy study life, and then welcome the arrival of the weekend…
…
Kyoto City Mizukawa Amusement Park Entrance.
The weekend sunlight always seemed to be very good. The just-right temperature fell on people’s skin, accompanied by a faint breeze, which always made people unable to help but feel happy.
But for Kazumi, all of this was probably a rare and enjoyable comfort. As a half-undead, although she would not melt upon contact with sunlight like vampires in storybooks, she still disliked the environment that was not very suitable for her abilities from the bottom of her heart.
Chewing the orange-flavored chewing gum in her mouth, the young girl expressionlessly blew a bubble. With her hands in the pockets of her hoodie, she silently followed the young man forward.
“Kazumi, Kazumi, look over there, it’s the newly built Ferris wheel!”
The blond young man was always full of energy, no matter when. His light orange short sleeves and prints were like the taste of the chewing gum in the girl’s mouth, sweet but bland. Beneath his simple clothes was a body that looked very sturdy, giving off a full-bodied youthful aura at first glance.
At this moment, Sato Shinichi was also a little troubled. He had originally thought that by asking Kazumi out, they could hold hands as before. But the girl seemed to still be angry with him because of what happened before, with her hands in her pockets, leaving no opportunity for him to reach out.
“Mmm.”
He blew out the bubble in his mouth with a “pop”. Kazumi looked in the direction pointed by the young man, nodded, and then looked away on her own.
For Kazumi, amusement parks were probably something she had long outgrown. Burdened by the pressures of life from an early age, Kazumi naturally had no longing for such boring, time-wasting, and expensive recreational activities.
Compared to playing with these bland things that only children liked, Kazumi was more inclined to prepare for her first mission after joining the [Dark] Organization, which she had to face tonight.
“Here, this is for you. I’ll go buy some food over there, otherwise it will be much more expensive inside later. Kazumi, what do you want to drink?”
The young man was already accustomed to his girlfriend’s indifferent responses. He reached into his pocket, took out two tickets, and handed them to the girl. He then pointed to the milk tea shop opposite the amusement park, looking at Kazumi with a smile in his eyes.
“The same as yours.”
Perhaps unable to stand the boy’s overly close gaze, the young girl subconsciously turned her head to the side and replied faintly.
“Okay! Kazumi, wait for me for a moment, I’ll be back soon!”
As if receiving the most sacred command, the young man, like a wind-up doll, frantically dashed into the milk tea shop beside them.
“Hmph.”
Looking at her boyfriend’s incredibly exaggerated expression, and then at the colorful tickets in her hand, Kazumi let out a helpless snort, and finally shook her head. She found a corner by the roadside, lowered her head, and began to ponder her own matters.
Actually, Kazumi had been a bit busy these past two days. From the attack that day to creating the [Graveyard Hill] at night, the girl had not rested too diligently in between. Basically, she had compressed her sleep time to the minimum limit required to maintain daily life, and spent the rest of the time doing relevant derivations and analyses.
On the one hand, the first mission was about to arrive, and the preparations and plans really needed to be taken more seriously. On the other hand, the extent of her strength increase this time was also quite large, and there were many directions to expand her thinking.
The somewhat different but powerful ability of Little Black after becoming an elite unit, the changes in the territory due to the formation of the construction circle, the qualitative changes when the number of troops reached a certain level, and the control over her own death aura ability.
Perhaps because the previous Kazumi had only played with a few things in a miserable way, it was not too difficult for her to habitually consider all possibilities.
But the current development speed had somewhat exceeded the girl’s thinking capacity. Sometimes, one night was not enough to analyze a part of it. And with the tens of thousands of abilities on the technology tree, if she really wanted to analyze all of them, she probably wouldn’t need to sleep for months.
“It seems I really need to change my way of thinking. Doing this is a bit overwhelming. I should just handle the things in front of me first.”
Rubbing her temples, the girl muttered.
Although she had the advantage of a half-undead body’s thinking, over-utilizing her brain for a long time would still be tiring. Instead of trying to thoroughly understand everything in the territory, it was better to narrow down her thinking and focus on solving the actual problems she was facing.
As if sensing something, she looked up and met the eyes of the young man who had squeezed out of the crowd with a bag in his hand. His sky-blue eyes were full of excitement, and his focused expression seemed as if he was holding the whole world in his hand. He hurriedly waved at the girl in the distance.
[Eh, let’s just treat it as pre-battle relaxation…]
The young man’s silly but familiar actions made Kazumi feel a little helpless. Perhaps she was used to it, so she didn’t even have the thought of being angry. With a long sigh, she stopped thinking about the evening and walked towards the young man with a slight smile on her cold lips.
But suddenly, a voice familiar yet containing a hint of surprise came from behind the two, interrupting their final actions.
“Sato-kun? Kiyomizu-san?”
