**Chapter 671: Miss Shimizu, Under Detention**
Kazumi stood at the center of the testing room, enclosed by thick, reinforced glass walls that completely isolated the lab from the outside. The experimenters, clad in gas masks and protective suits, worked meticulously at their consoles. The laboratory was dimly lit, and the air was thick with a tense atmosphere.
“Don’t be nervous; it’s just a basic test,” one of the staff members in a protective suit said softly, a hint of encouragement in their tone. Observers stood outside the laboratory, watching everything through the observation window. Several experimenters were busy at the test benches, their movements focused and swift.
Inside the laboratory, the experimenters’ actions were exceptionally cautious. Instruments in their hands flickered under the dim light, each operation precise and flawless. Various equipment was arranged on the test bench, and data scrolled across the display screens, highlighting the complexity and precision of the experiment.
“Don’t worry, this kind of test is just a routine check,” the experimenters said in low voices that echoed within the lab. Every detail of the experiment was strictly recorded, and data was verified one by one to ensure the accuracy of the results.
The observers stood outside the door, carefully watching the experiment through the glass window. Their heartbeats quickened with the progress of the experiment, and every data point tugged at their heartstrings. Inside the lab, the experimenters became increasingly proficient, their coordination growing more seamless.
“They’re truly amazing,” the observers murmured in admiration, their eyes filled with respect. In the lab, the experimenters continued their complex operations, their movements fluid and precise, as if each action had been practiced countless times.
“Their performance is truly astonishing,” the observers continued, a note of pride in their voices. Inside the lab, the experimenters’ movements gradually slowed, and their expressions relaxed. Every step of the experiment was clearly recorded, and every piece of data was carefully cross-referenced.
“Their efforts were not in vain,” the observers said softly, their eyes filled with relief. Inside the lab, the experimenters began to tidy up the equipment, their movements still energetic despite their fatigue. The experiment concluded successfully, and the experimenters’ faces broke into smiles of satisfaction.
“This experiment was truly a success,” the observers said with a smile, their voices filled with joy. Inside the lab, the experimenters began to discuss the experimental results, their conversation lively and excited. Every detail of the experiment was repeatedly discussed, and every piece of data was carefully analyzed.
“Their performance was truly outstanding,” the observers continued, their voices full of praise. Inside the lab, the experimenters began preparing for the next experiment, their movements full of anticipation despite their fatigue. Every detail of the experiment was recorded, and every piece of data was carefully verified, preparing thoroughly for the next stage.
The observers stood outside the door, looking through the glass window at the retreating figures of the experimenters. Their hearts were filled with hope and confidence, believing that these excellent experimenters would achieve even more brilliant accomplishments in future experiments. Though the experiment was short, the emotions and inspiration it brought them were long-lasting.
Dark flames gradually engulfed Kazumi, her figure flickering in the black fire, as if wrapped in some cursed power. Flames surged, occasionally spitting out a few sparks, but whenever they touched the glass walls of the testing room, they hit an invisible barrier, unable to penetrate even an inch.
Her fingers couldn’t identify the mental resistance on the glass. Her brow furrowed; she had reached her limit.
The young boy, Sho, his azure eyes brighter than ever. Compared to his clear gaze, he knew that once he made a choice, he had to give it his all, even if it meant exhausting all his strength, and strive to eliminate anything that could be avoided. He needed to clearly see if his beautiful friend could help him master this power that contained a dark shadow.
The crimson waves of dark flame churned, like a beast about to break free from its restraints. However, just as it was about to reach its peak, Kazumi’s body trembled slightly, fine sweat beading at the corner of her eyes, clearly at her limit.
“…Now is the time, capture the flames!” Hiroyuki Kusakabe turned and said to Sakura, who was conducting the test.
At the forefront of the experiment was a specially made high-temperature resistant container. A robotic arm approached the interior with precision. From above Hiroyuki Kusakabe’s brow, a small winged ant jumped out. As a member of the same species, the winged ant was given the seed of fire by Hiroyuki Kusakabe. As a member of the same species, the winged ant could clearly identify the aura of the fire seed. It was just that because of repeated… even ordinary flames couldn’t extinguish it.
The heat that had been burning thus far, but the palpable danger before him made him feel a hint of threat. The degree of power… was only ordinary.
So he touched his chin, seemingly deep in thought.
He gently pressed the top of the container.
The next second, a crimson light appeared and slowly descended.
A feather materialized out of thin air, finally coming into contact with what was in the container.
“Boom!”
The crimson and dark flames instantly erupted with a violent energy wave. The red flame tried to suppress the dark flame, but not only was it not suppressed, it was as if the flame had found its prey. Finally, the entire flame became even more vigorous.
“Are you alright?” He said, truly.
He lowered his head, his voice tinged with worry, but his expression was somewhat grim, as if nothing had happened.
His voice was low and serious, carrying a highly aggressive aura.
Before, he slowly raised his hand, gave an apologetic gesture, and slowly said, “Until you can fully control your abilities, you cannot leave. I’m sorry, please understand.”
