last post apocalypse

With a tearing sound, the huge white machine fell down, a big hole was pierced in the chest, and electric sparks were still flashing from the torn part.

And behind it, there is also a wide street with a length of hundreds of meters.

"You can bear more of my strength, Kamijou boy."

Kamijou looked at his hands in surprise, despite hitting this level of strength, he didn't feel any discomfort.Just a slight tingling in the right arm.

But when exactly?I haven't exercised before, but I can bear it...... No, even if I exercise, it is impossible to grow so much in half a month!

"Are you surprised?"

At this time, Walter's voice came from behind.He explained as if he could see the doubt in Kamijou's heart.

"Many naturally awakened ability users like you will cause major disasters due to improper control. If no one helps, they may even be destroyed by their own power as soon as they regain power. This is why Establish the Ability Management Bureau and monitor the reason for the fluctuation of each ability user's power at any time. Not only to protect ordinary people, but also to protect the newly awakened ability users themselves."

"That's right. I always thought that the one who set this rule was a pervert."

Kamijou rubbed his head and laughed.Then, Ba Mamei's resentful and cold voice came from behind.

"I'm one of these perverts, I'm really sorry!"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa———"

"Hahaha, in fact, the ability user monitoring mechanism is the product of A-level ability users' discussions during the meeting. Not only Ms. Ba Mami, but also the psychological control and I are one of them. Although there are still people who have objections, But because the effect is obvious, ordinary people’s harm is gradually reduced, and those who have objections will also acquiesce.”

Walter said with a smile.

"These things, after you become an A-level ability user, you can look through the meeting files. Now let's talk about your affairs. As I said just now, naturally awakened ability users will experience discomfort after gaining power. This These situations are collectively referred to by the Administration as the 'energy rejection period' or 'energy adaptation period'.

After all, for ordinary people's bodies, no matter what type of newly acquired power is, it is not a product of the original body, so internal organs, muscles, nerves, bones, etc. will all have different rejections.But this is both 'rejection' and 'adaptation', so the discomfort will only last for one to two weeks.After that, most people's bodies will adapt to their own strength.

This is why, until today, we have not come to test your ability. "

"Oh~~~"

Kamijou suddenly realized, no wonder it took so long.Previously, Kamijou was wondering why it took half a month to apply for a certificate by himself.Moreover, his ability to withstand more power from All Might should also be related to this situation.

but.

"Is this 'energy adaptation period' only one to two weeks? Is it particularly long!"

"...Of course, it's just that this kind of situation usually occurs in people with too strong awakening ability, or people with psychological reasons."

A serious expression appeared on Walter's face.

"Actually, at first we also thought that you would have serious 'rejection' symptoms, Mr. Guataro. But after waiting for a long time, you didn't even show any discomfort. This kind of situation is very rare."

"Hahaha......"

Kamijou smiled dryly, he knew why this didn't happen.Because this power is not his in the first place, but only borrowed, that's why there will be no such reaction.

"Okay, that's all I need to explain! Let's continue, I'm going to be serious this time!"

As he said that, Walter felt a great sense of oppression, and at the same time, phantoms of various mechs appeared behind him.Just a rough look, the number is no less than one hundred.

"Wait, are you still here?!"

"Of course, only 10 minutes have passed in an hour!"

Similar to Walter, behind Asami, like gold flashing away from the king's treasure, rows of silver flintlock guns appeared to cover the sky and the sun, and the muzzles of the black holes were all aimed at Kamijou.

"Unfortunately—"

boom------------

Chapter 25. Do you want black tea?

"I survived ah ah!"

In the center of the practice field that had been completely turned into ruins, Kamijou, who had turned back into an ordinary high school student, was lying in the ruins with his whole body in tattered clothes, panting heavily.

After an hour of merciless attack, Kamijou had a deep understanding of the horror of A-level ability users.

One man makes an army, no, that's a humble way of saying it.Whether it is Ba Mamei or Walter, they definitely have at least the firepower output of a fully mechanized division.

There is an army of robots like mountains and seas, and there is a group of terrifying flintlock guns that cover the sky and the sun, ah, artificial light is used in the training ground, in short, the entire ceiling is completely covered.

Just like playing Star Wars.

"Congratulations, Guataro-sensei. You survived the test."

Walter clapped happily, as if he wasn't the one who beat Kamijou like this just now.

"Ha-ha-you, all of you, are you all monsters--"

Kamijou sat up and looked at Walter with displeasure.Unlike his ragged appearance, the other party didn't even seem to have messed up his hair.

and.

"Obviously after fighting for so long, I didn't even shed a drop of sweat..."

"No, that's because I use mechas to fight most of the time, so my physical strength is not very high... As for Ms. Mami, she is a magical girl. Sweating doesn't fit her personality. .”

What the hell are people setting up!Is it the same brain setting as a beautiful girl who can't go to the toilet?

"And I think that under the joint attack of Ms. Ba Mamei and I, you are the monster who can resist for so long. Originally, we planned that if you can persist for 10 minutes, you can be awarded a B-level ability user, and you can be awarded an A in half an hour." Proof by a level A ability user. But unexpectedly, you actually persisted for an hour under the pincer attack of two A level ability users."

Walter pointed to the surrounding area. Originally, this was a training ground simulating a large city for A-level ability users to exercise their abilities, but let alone a city now.There are not many wrecks that are higher.

The surface of the ground seemed to be overturned by force first, and then plowed by shells, so I have to say something descriptive.Probably the feeling near the nuclear bomb test site is similar.

Kamijou stared blankly at such a scene. Before that, his attention was all on the battle, so he didn't pay much attention to the surrounding environment.But now it seems that he has only felt this terrifying destructive power—especially the huge ravines that are more than ten meters wide and several hundred meters long, which can be seen to be the effect of All Might's power at a glance.

"This is the destructive power of A-level ability users. In fact, it's not just A-level. Ordinary ability users are monsters to ordinary people. They might cause devastating disasters at any time. That's why the Ability User Management Bureau was established. , to protect ordinary people.”

Walter said earnestly.

Kamijou nodded vigorously, and at the same time realized that power has two sides—protection and destruction, both are the front and back of this coin.Therefore, how to correctly view and use one's own power is the first lesson after having power.

On this point, All Might also once said.He even asked Kamijou, if he had his own power, how would he use it.

"The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility? Hahaha, just kidding. Mr. Kamijou is not that great, but I still hope to have the ability to make myself lucky."

That's what Kamijou answered back then.It's also true.

"The black tea is ready. Go take a bath and rest."

At this moment, Ba Mamei's voice came from around the practice field.But when Kamijou looked around, he didn't find anything like a horn.

"Sensei Kamijou, you should be able to stand up now."

Patting the shoulder of Kamijou who was sitting on the ground, Walter stood up.

"Come on, I'll take you to the shower room."

------------

"How is it? Your evaluation of him."

When Kamijou and Walter went to the bathroom, they were in the monitoring room directly above the training ground.In front of a console full of huge screens, Shokuhou Misaki asked Ba Mami who was standing aside while operating the complex keyboard on the console.

"Can you tell what type of ability user it is?"

Maybe Kamijou has forgotten about it, but Shokuhou Misaki has always been concerned about this issue.

The purpose of this battle itself is to test, so not only to test Kamijou's strength, but also the source of his power, the energy structure in his body, whether it is safe to use power, etc., are all within the scope of the test.

This is not to spy on personal privacy, but for Kamijou's own safety.

There is a price to be paid for the use of power, and the principle of energy conservation also applies to those who are not very scientific.It is not uncommon for people to gain power, but at the cost of part of their lives.

"how?"

Shokuhou Misaki looked at Ba Mami.After thinking for a long time with her chin resting on her jaw, Ba Mami shook her head.

"...well, I don't know."

"Ah? Why is this happening!"

Shokuhou Misaki said with a look of surprise.

"It's because the equipment in the hospital and the administration cannot detect it, and I can't penetrate it with superpowers. That's why I found you two...Impossible, magic power, spiritual power, life force, and even The more remote Honkai energy can be discovered under the monitoring of Mr. Walter and Mami-senpai."

Generally speaking, to detect an A-level ability user, you only need a person with the same level of ability to approve the strength, and then pass various standard tests in the administration.It can't be said that it is unprecedented, but it is absolutely rare for two A-level ability users like Kamijou to detect it.

"Honkai can be very biased...Mr. Walter will be angry when he hears this. However, we really don't feel it."

Bamami shook her head helplessly.

Generally speaking, ability users can at least feel the opponent's aura after a battle.For example, which faction is it, onmyoji, magician, warrior, etc., can all be felt.

Kamijou, however, was completely different.

"Mr. Kamijou, he...maybe it's my illusion. When I fight with him, it doesn't feel like I'm fighting with an ability user. It feels like I'm fighting with an ordinary person. It's strange, right? , although I can detect the intensity of the energy on his body, but I can't tell what kind of power it is. It feels..."

Ba Mamei thought for a while before replying in an uncertain tone.

"...like ethereal ghosts."

Chapter 26, Soul and Quantum Mechanics and Relativity and Nervous System and...

When the pointer pointed to six o'clock, the editors who had worked hard for eight hours on the office floor of Dengeki Bunko in Tokyo's Gakuen Metropolitan area collectively breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you, do you want to go downstairs and have a cup of coffee?"

"No, Kagurazaka-senpai, I want to talk to Kamijou-sensei tonight about the manuscript."

Black cat, no, Wugeng Liuli shook her head with a smile.

Kagurazaka Iris, a colleague of Wugeng Ruri.She joined the job a few years earlier than Wu Geng, she worked very hard and practiced hard, and at the same time gave her a lot of help when she joined the job, so Wu Geng has always respected Kagurazaka as a senior.

"Hey, Kamijo Kautaro-sensei? That's such a cute kid. The fifth watch is really lucky, so cherish him."

"Jane, treasure or something, it's just an idiot! If I didn't help with typesetting and correcting typos..."

"Well, well~ don't be so excited. Little Liuli~~~~. I just said that Mr. Guataro is a very good boy."

At the age of 25, but still maintaining the spirit of a college student, the beauty editor, Kagurazaka covered her mouth and chuckled.

"However, it's great. Kamijou-sensei is just a junior high school student, but he's so talented. Besides, he's also very humble."

Kagurazaka couldn't help laughing out as if thinking of the first time he met Kamijo Guataro at the company.After all, a lot of jokes were made at that time.So she has a particularly deep memory.

"The most important thing is that Kamijou-sensei won't procrastinate the manuscript, which is really rare."

"..."

Speaking of the topic of dragging manuscripts, Kagurazaka sighed.And this atmosphere seems to have spread to the editors in nearby positions.

Responsible for a book that will not delay the draft, can serialize several books at the same time, and almost every book sells so well that it explodes.At the same time, such a good-tempered author...Think about the late-stage cancer authors on my side, who would rather play mahjong than code words. Their personalities are either awkward or perverted.

The newcomer's luck is too good!

It was as if substantial resentment floated in the direction of Wugeng Liuli.

"Ha, haha. I'll go first, see you~ Senior Kagurazaka."

Feeling that the surrounding atmosphere was very bad, Wu Geng hurriedly packed up his things and left the company building in a hurry.Looking at Wu Geng Huang Luan's back, Kagurazaka shook his head.

"Yahahahah~~"

------------

Talent, or talent, is not something that everyone can have.At the same time, it is also the root of dividing the world of "equality of personality" into three, six, and nine classes.Even a person with a very prominent status at birth, his ancestors will basically have talents that ordinary people cannot match, so that they can create extraordinary wealth and leave it to future generations.

And this rule is universal no matter in which world.

Whether it is the world where Kamijou is, or the world where All Might is.Extraordinary talent is the key to being superior in the field, and it is even more important than hard work.

If it is said that in other fields, efforts may still be able to catch up with this gap.In the extraordinary domain, this gap is infinitely magnified.

For example, in a family-style ability user group that has been passed down for hundreds of years, unborn children may have crossed the threshold of becoming an ability user that countless people cannot cross in their lifetime, and even a few casual practices can reach the level of others. A level that can only be reached in ten years.

Some people may think it's unfair, it's too cheating to compete for bloodlines and talents, but this is also part of nature's law of meritocracy.

Even All Might admits this, that is the importance of talent.

The difference between the gifted and the untalented is such a horrible, hopeless...and overheated brain.

"I can't, I really can't..."

Having absorbed too much irregular knowledge in a short period of time, Kamijou, whose brain had already started to overheat, folded his head with his hands and collapsed on the table.

"It's only been five minutes."
