Moments later.

The darkness in the sky slowly faded.

Above the battlefield, the full moon emerged—soft and radiant, casting silver light over the shattered remains of the city. The silence that followed was deafening, yet oddly peaceful, as though the world itself was exhaling after holding its breath for too long.

A voice echoed in Amber’s earpiece.

“Amber, can you hear me?” Fina’s voice cracked slightly, but she was trying to sound cheerful. “Seems like all the terrorists have been defeated and the bombs are all defused.”

“That’s good to know.” Amber exhaled, lowering her weapon. “How about everyone in the organization? Is anyone badly hurt?”

“Everyone’s safe. Mei’s already setting up for the karaoke party to celebrate our success. You better sing this time.”

Amber let out a faint chuckle. “I’ll think about it.”

“Anyways… did you defeat her?”

Amber’s eyes wandered toward the two figures across the field. “No,” she said softly. “But someone I know did.”

“Who?”

Amber smiled faintly. “I

    After successfully capturing the White Cultists who had invaded the city and managing to defuse all of the bombs without triggering mass destruction, Arthur—S-Class, ranked Number One among ability users—entered Mayor William's office to deliver his report.The room was located on the top floor of Neo Silicon Valley’s municipal tower, its wide glass windows overlooking the damaged skyline.Ash still lingered in the air, carried by the wind like the whispers of the fallen.The mayor, a man in his fifties with streaks of silver in his neatly combed hair, sat behind a curved obsidian desk, his expression unreadable as he set down his digital pen.“What is the status?”Mayor William asked, his tone calm but laced with fatigue.The shadows beneath his eyes hinted at sleepless nights and the burden of leadership.Arthur, still wearing his battle-damaged tactical uniform, stood tall with arms crossed. His face was cold and composed.“Everything is progressing smoothly,” Arthur began in a deep

    I’m so annoyed right now.Seriously, it’s driving me insane.However, I’m not the kind of person who enjoys complaining about every little thing. I usually like to keep my mouth shut and just deal with stuff. But this? This is different. There’s no justice at all in what’s happening.I feel like those shitheads are constantly abusing their authority, punishing people left and right without even bothering to consider our feelings or the circumstances we’re going through.Of course, I’m talking about our professors.It’s been two weeks since the whole White Cult incident. Two brutal, exhausting weeks. So many people lost their homes, their livelihoods, their entire lives. Others are still struggling, still trapped in the process of accepting the horrible, unforgivable things that happened. Some wake up every day wondering if it was just a nightmare, only to realize it’s their new reality.What I’m trying to say is that the entire city was thrown into complete chaos.Everything collapsed

    Instead of feeling happy while munching on my snack, a bitter aftertaste was left lingering in my mouth. And no, it wasn’t the flavor at all. It was more like… my mood… And Amber asking for me to pay.Feeling grossed out and frustrated, I decided to clear my head by getting some fresh air.Maybe a short walk around the area would help. After all, this was a new place our so-called “new home” and I hadn't really explored this part of the city before. Walking around could be fun… maybe.That was the plan at least.But seriously, is it just me, or is the weather today absolutely insane?I wiped the sweat dripping down my forehead, pulled out my phone, and checked the city’s reported heat index."Thirty-seven degrees?! Are we living inside an oven now?!"I shouted, attracting the weird stares of a few random passersby.I instantly regretted stepping outside.I scrambled around like a headless chicken, desperately searching for any shade nearby.Finally, I spotted a huge tree with a lonely

    “Mio!”The voice of someone unfamiliar echoed sharply through the air.Before I could even react, a violent kick sent me flying backward, and blood started dripping from my nose.A girl I had never seen before stood there, glaring at me like I was the biggest piece of trash in existence.Groaning, I picked myself up, rubbing my cheek that was already starting to swell from the blow.Meanwhile, the unknown girl rushed over and helped Mio stand.“Pervert! Pervert! Why does a worthless human being like you even exist in this world?! That’s it, I’m calling the police!”She screamed hysterically. And then, she frantically pulled out her phone.Things escalated way too fast.“Hey, it’s not what it looks like! I didn’t mean to look at her underwear! I wasn’t even harassing her, Mio, please tell her! Tell her it’s all just a misunderstanding!”I panicked, waving my hands in front of me.Mio thankfully stepped in.“Nanase, he’s telling the truth…” she said, though her voice was a little shaky.

    Too bad for Ayumi — she wasn’t able to come with me because of an important role a shrine maiden must fulfill. She looked absolutely dejected when she received the sudden call, informing her that she was needed for another ceremony.I honestly felt a little bad for her. Who knows how long this treasure hunting event would even last in the city? It’s not like opportunities like this come around every day.But for me? This was the perfect chance to snag some easy money.I pulled out my phone and continued reading articles about the treasure hunting craze, focusing on the places where the money envelopes were most often spotted.“I wish I had an ability to track things...” I muttered to myself. Right as I said that, one face immediately popped into my mind. Fina.If I remembered correctly, Fina was the data analyst of our team. She also had an ability called Tracker. Even without using her special powers, her brain alone would be more than enough to help me out with something like this.

    “Hey, scumbag! This girl doesn’t even know you!”“Are you trying to fool us?!”“This guy’s seriously pissing me off. What’s this? Are you playing the hero to look cool in front of the girl? That’s so damn annoying. I love beating up righteous idiots like you the most. People who think they get to decide what’s right and wrong!”The thug cracked his knuckles together, the sound echoing menacingly in the narrow street.The atmosphere grew heavier by the second. I could feel the tension thickening, violence practically radiating from these guys. Their eyes locked on me with pure hostility. They were ready to explode.“Again. I will ask. Who are you? Why did you call me Mio?”The girl repeated, her voice calm and detached.Shut up already!Why couldn’t she read the room? Was this girl completely clueless or just stupid?!I originally wanted to solve this peacefully, to get her out of this mess without throwing a single punch. But she wasn’t playing along.

    I know I told her that I’m treating her to dinner, but why does it feel like she’s taking full advantage of it?The amount of food she just ordered… it’s enough to feed an entire family for three days straight. A normal person wouldn’t even dream of eating this much in one sitting.“So many…”I muttered in disbelief, staring at the mountain of food laid out across the table like a buffet.And then, there’s this girl munching through the plates like there’s no tomorrow, like she’s been starving for days. She stuffed her mouth full, barely taking a breath, completely absorbed in the feast in front of her.A normal person would have stopped her from ordering so much, but seeing her devour the food with such desperation... I just didn’t have the heart. Maybe this really was her first proper meal after a very long time. It made me wonder what she had been through.This girl... she must have been dealing with a lot.“By the way, we haven’t introduced ourselves properly yet…”I said, trying
