11 PM.
Above the sky.
"Wow!!!"
"So high..."
The excited and trembling voice of a woman echoed in the fog-covered room.
It was the uncontrollable scream of Tomori Nao from above the sky.
Ten seconds ago, she and Seiya were on the ground in perfect harmony, but the next second, Nao was brought here by him in an instant, without time to prepare.
Seiya immediately invited her to experience what it's like to speed and thrill in the air.
"How do you feel? Girl."
The roaring wind mixed with Seiya's slightly "friendly" question.
After bringing her here, he and Nao quickly fell to the ground under the influence of gravity, and their figures formed a perfect straight line in the air.
"So much fun! Absolutely thrilling!" Nao said excitedly.
She had never experienced such a beautiful aerial view directly. The feeling of seeing from the sky was truly amazing!
"You're really different. Shouldn't most people feel scared, terrified right now?"
Seiya was slightly puzzled by Nao's strange brain circuit.
"Yes, I am scared!" Nao nodded and admitted.
Seiya said slowly: "I don't intuitively see this emotion."
"That's because my excitement right now outweighs my fear."
"How funny it is that someone can fall from a height without wearing any protective gear!"
"Don't you think it's interesting? Even if I only have this chance once, it's a very rare experience."
Nao answered Seiya's question.
Her face was filled with excitement. She was such a character, and she would see what happens to her with a very optimistic attitude in many situations.
"Wow~, you're amazing~"
"Yes, I think so too!"
"Huh~ narcissistic girl."
Seiya sneered.
He originally wanted to see the panicked expression of the girl far in the sky, but unexpectedly, such an idea did not bear fruit.
"Although your words make me feel a little uncomfortable, I still want to make sure that your ability is truly strong. You can reach such heights just by raising your hand, and you have Dismantle. It's all amazing. You are the favorite existence of scientists." Nao said seriously.
"I know I'm strong and I don't need you to remind me."
"...Don't ignore the second part of what I said!"
"What?"
"Captured by scientists."
Nao's voice mixed with a slight whistle due to the wind.
"If you really were captured by that group of scientists, you would no longer have freedom, and you would only be able to stay in a cold laboratory for the rest of your life. Even if you suffer mental disturbances and torment in the end, you will still be very weak."
"Do you think those losers can capture me?" Seiya smirked.
If anyone could capture him, then his identity as the Cursed King would be lost.
"Don't be too arrogant, young man."
"Don't underestimate people too much, girl."
Seiya glanced at her.
He was an undefeated existence and did not accept subjugation.
"You have no hope..." Nao said without words.
She felt that she and Seiya were not on the same wavelength.
One recounted the horrors of the world, and the other showed himself as unbeatable.
"Same goes for you."
The corner of Seiya's mouth curved slightly.
The next second. He suddenly appeared by Nao's side, grabbed the girl's neck, and then quickly took her towards the river beneath the sky.
He was impatient.
The sound of wind continued to pass through their ears.
*Splash!*
A large splash of water suddenly erupted from the river under the bridge, causing ripples.
Before Nao could recover from the distance between the sky and the ground, her body was already enveloped in the cold river water.
A strong choking sensation immediately hit her face, and it was even harder to scream for help with her throat being pinched by Seiya.
Nao saw his funny expression underwater, and for the first time, she felt that superpowers were very difficult to deal with, truly beyond their previous understanding of this flawed ability.
Seiya's Dismantle ability was perfect!
He even had external derivative abilities.
"Pfft!"
Just as Nao was about to lose consciousness from drowning, Seiya immediately pulled her out of the river, back to the battleground where the three of them were fighting.
"Cough, cough, cough..."
Loud coughs were heard.
After reaching the ground, Seiya casually threw Nao to his feet, letting her breathe the fresh air she hadn't seen for a long time.
"How does it feel to face death?"
Seiya asked her with a condescending tone.
Compared to the drenched girl, his clothes were already dry like a few minutes ago.
"Cough, cough, cough..."
"Not at all..."
After Nao recovered, she lay on the ground, looking very weak.
No one likes the smell of death, especially those who have truly experienced death.
"So you were just pretending to be strong before."
"...Maybe." Nao turned her head and said somewhat ambiguously.
In the face of real death, she couldn't fully understand her own heart.
"Tell me what you want from me. You can't just come here and beat me up for no reason." Seiya asked curiously.
"Of course not..." Nao replied.
She wasn't a masochist.
"What is it?"
"Hmm... How to say it? Originally, we wanted to tell you not to use your ability, lest you be found by those scientists and eventually lose your life, and you might even become disabled."
"That's a very good idea."
"But now... After seeing your ability, suddenly I want to invite you to transfer to Hoshinoumi Academy, join the student council, and work with us to find and stop those who misuse their abilities." Nao explained.
This is what the student council has been doing all along.
She just didn't expect the situation to suddenly turn around on Seiya.
"Sure, any benefits?" Seiya immediately agreed.
"Huh? You agree now?" Nao was slightly surprised.
Seiya said slowly: "If not? Do I have a reason to refuse you?"
"Um... It seems not."
"In that case, it's all settled."
Seiya shrugged.
"...What! I thought it would be difficult for a strong and handsome guy like you to talk, but it's that simple..."
Nao scratched the back of her head in annoyance.
Seiya slowly crouched down and bent over to look at the girl lying on the ground: "Don't be too quick to be happy, girl, there are conditions for me to join your student council."
"That's reasonable, tell me."
Nao lay on the ground and made a very awkward pleading gesture.
"First, I want independent accommodation."
"Yes, this is the standard configuration of the school."
"Second, I have a younger sister at home, and I want you to go through the registration procedure for her."
"Okay, we have a junior high school at Hoshinoumi Academy."
"Third, I want you to be my personal secretary, the type of person who is always there, and help me find people who still have abilities after they mature."
Seiya calmly stated his three requests.
Nao couldn't help but complain: "You clearly have four requests."
"Stop talking nonsense, just say yes or no."
Seiya was too lazy to engage in small talk with her.
Nao rolled her eyes at him angrily, then after a moment of thought, she nodded and said, "Okay, okay, I agree."
"Great."
"Hey, besides, you're not interested in my figure anyway. Being your secretary probably won't harm me. I can just keep an eye on you." Nao said casually.
