Kuzu Inou【Ondo Wo Kaeru Mono】 No Ore Ga Musou Suru Made - Chapter 73
73 Principle 2 Kirishima Kaname
Where am I?
I woke up.
Unfamiliar ceiling.
The silver ceiling covered with something like a metal board.
Good morning, Kirishima Kaname-san
When I turned to direction of the voice, I saw an expressionless white-robed man. When I looked around, there are many equipment. Something like an electro-cardiogram is being displayed in the monitor.
Im sorry for being rough on you. At that time, I didnt have the time to explain it to you
The expressionless man smiles and speaks to me.
This place is a research facility built 1000 meters below ground. A very safe place. Even a nuclear strike wont do much damage. Its a special place made for you
The man continues without minding the bewildered me.
1000 meters below ground?
I have waited for this time to come. The time when I can meet you with just the two of us
While speaking in a monotonous tone, the man stands still in the dim room.
I had a hunch.
Strange. This man is somehow strange.
It would be dangerous to let him come any closer.
I jumped off the hard bed and took a distance from the man quickly.
Eh!? This
When I realized it, I was wearing a green surgical gown.
I should be wearing my school uniform until now.
What is this
Im sorry, but I changed your clothes. Dont worry, what Im interested in is your insides only
That is right. I remembered.
I have met this man before.
The attack at the school by the invaders.
It was when I was trying to meet up with other students after hearing the declaration of the end.
This man appeared in front of me suddenly, and the moment our eyes met, I lost my consciousness
I wanted to meet you. I have always dreamed for this day to come
Upon hearing that, a chill ran through my body.
While spreading both of his hands, he approaches slowly.
Dont come here. Ouka
I deploy the shield of the storm of blades with full power.
Small blades collide with the metal floor, giving off sparks.
Impressive. Looks like you learned how to use the Talent, and improved it very well
Clap, clap, clap
The man claps as if praising a kid.
While having a crack-like smile on his face.
But you can still be betterthan this
Suddenly, I felt that my body creaks as if being tied, and I was lifted up into the air as if someone grabbed my limbs.
Then, I was left hanging in midair.
It shouldnt be that much only
Uu?
I cant move.
As expected, this man is a Talent User.
And he has a considerably powerful Talent.
I want to about your possibilities
The man continues to talk and approaches me while binding me in the air.
I cant move anymore.
Although I have my shield deployed, at this rate, it is useless.
I dont know what his Talent actually is.
Billion Edge
With the resolution to take the mans life, I strike him with my Talent.
The storm-like blades fly towards the man.
But my attack split into two and passed through him.
It then struck the metal wall behind, and only created a slight crack.
The current you is only to this degree? No, impossible
While being puzzled, the man looks at me.
It looked like he is pondering about something.
The crack-like smile disappeared, and he looked at me with cold eyes.
Thats right
The crack-like smile returned on his face.
But it is a more distorted and insane smile than before.
Lets dissect you for a moment. Yeah, thats the best. Unfortunately, theres no MRI here, so I will need to see it directly
Serizawkuns face came to my mind.
Will Ibecome an experimental material for this man without being able to do anything and without knowing anything?
No.
Even I, became strong enough to be able to fight a little
No, I intended to be strong.
But I am weak. I am still weak.
And I realize that in this kind of place.
Ouka
I deploy the full power shield once again.
The swarm of blades covering me, strike the metal floor and wall, giving off intense sparks.
I cant let him come any closer.
Again?
He looks at me calmly.
While looking disappointed.
My attack wont work on him.
I already confirmed it.
Therefore
Billion Edge
I strike my Talent aiming at the ceilingwith all my might.
With my best. I squeeze out the maximum output.
While giving off sparks, the swarm of blades digs the metal ceiling.
1000 meters below ground.
I dont know whether he was saying the truth or not.
If it is the truth, I dont think I can pierce it.
But this is the best I can do right now.
Ask for help. Inform the abnormality.
That is the best struggle as the weak.
My small blades dig the ceiling gradually.
Amazing. What an amazing continuation time. Kirishima Kaname-san
The man claps again.
As if praising a kid who is doing something that is not done before.
Expressionless the whole time, and the words of praises.
But I cant let people know about this place
The man approaches me.
But still, I dont stop the creation of blades.
Pierce it. Dig even if it is a little.
Even if a petal of the blade I created is weak and fragile, if I stack it up, one day
Ill have you sleep for a little
But the moment our eyes met, I lost my consciousness again, and the blades that were drilling the ceiling, vanished.
