Akio Tianai was roaring silently in an old apartment filled with wine bottles.
This is the "Tenth School District" with the cheapest housing prices, and it is also the most chaotic area in Academy City.
As a social elite in the field of scientific research, he cannot accept that he can only live in a place like a "garbage recycling bin".
However, the current situation left him no choice.
Holding his head, Amai's mind seemed to replay the series of 'accidents' that caused him to fall from the peak of his career to the abyss.
Everything started from the "Experimental Plan for Mass-Produced Ability Users".
Its purpose is to analyze the genetic equation of superpowers and then mass-produce superpowers that are only produced occasionally.
It doesn't matter to him whether the method of obtaining the 'prototype DNA' is despicable or not, similar things happen here every day.
Children always have innocent and beautiful fantasies about the world, and his job is to turn this 'fantasy' into 'reality'.
When he first started this project, Akai thought it was an opportunity to reach the top of the scientific research field.
But before long, no matter how the research direction was changed, the clones mass-produced by the experiment, the "sisters", had less than 1% of the abilities of the prototype.
What's the point?
The cold enveloped my body, and the word 'failure' lingered in my heart indelibly.
As the person in charge of this project, this means that he will be burdened with huge debts.
In fact, just as he thought, the plan was quickly labeled frozen by the upper management, and the institute was forced to disband and close down.
Amai Yao began his life of hiding in Tibet.
And the 'savior' who appeared in front of him at this time was the 'Absolute Ability User Evolution Plan'.
But now, even this plan is about to be frozen.
Because the research institute has been destroyed, the main subject of the experiment is still in a coma.
A lonely ‘venture investment’ failed again.
He will be saddled with double the debt.
What's even more despicable is that according to the on-site investigation afterwards, there are still some people who want to blame Accelerator's "powerful rampage" on him.
be utterly shameless.
Completely forgetting that he was not much better, Akai Axiong could only hope that Accelerator would wake up soon and agree to continue the plan.
Before that, he could only try to find loopholes in the vast sea of data.
it's not finished yet.
Looking at the computer screen with flashing white light, he said to himself.
But the feeling of despair never goes away.

************
Terestina Kihara Levrine is very unlucky.
She is lying in the intensive care unit of the Fifth Emergency Center affiliated to the "Advanced Education Bureau".
As one of the people affected by the "831 Rampage Experiment Incident", her current physical condition is not good.
When the accident happened, she was in her director's office handling reports on the "capacity reduction device (Capa)".
After lending the test items to those 'cute tool people' before, the data that came back excited her for a long time.
Because this is an invention that can definitely interfere with Level 5!
In the excitement, Terestina even put aside the follow-up work of the "ability body crystallization experiment" and prepared to sort out the data this time.
It's a pity that "Heaven" does not follow people's wishes, and this is probably the case when extreme happiness leads to sadness.
The moment the alarm sounded, before her excited and distorted smile could turn into surprise, an attack from nowhere completely engulfed the room and buried her whole body under the rubble.
Fortunately, he was rescued by other members of the rescue team in the end. However, his head was severely impacted, his limbs and body were squeezed to varying degrees, and there was a puncture hole in his abdomen. The injuries were very serious.
It was only today that, with all-out rescue efforts, I slowly regained some ability to live a normal life.
"...Ah, Miss Leflane! You can't get up yet!"
In the first intensive care room, the nurse who came to do the rounds saw Terestina pulling out the infusion tube and trying to get off the bed. She was so frightened that she quickly stepped forward to dissuade her.
The dean specifically warned that this is the director of the research institution directly under their hospital.
"Do not touch me!"
Brutally pushing away the extended hand, Terestina's fierce expression coupled with the wound on her forehead made her look extremely ferocious.
When an important patient refused to listen, the young nurse had no choice but to seek help from the head nurse and the attending physician.
Holding on to the bed board, the action just now seemed to have stretched the wound again, causing Terestina to convulse and break out into a cold sweat.
"damn it……"
Cursing in a low voice, the sound of rapid footsteps coming from the corridor made her feel very harsh.
It seems that our captain of the "Advanced Situation Rescue Team" who suffered an "unexpected disaster" will have to rest for a long time if he wants to resume his duties.

*************
In the busiest area of "School District 15", there was a strange pair taking a walk.
Even though this is the birthplace of Academy City's pop culture, women chatting with dogs still make passers-by look at them.
correct.
It's 'both sides' talking, not 'one-sided' talking to themselves.
"...Youyijun, you must be very busy now, right? There is no need to take time out to accompany me."
Speaking with a rich middle-aged male voice, the old dog, or a creature that is more suitable to be described as a 'golden retriever', said to the woman beside him.
His name is 'Kihara Brainstem', and he is a researcher who achieved a high degree of intelligence purely by expanding the brain of dogs.
He is also ‘Kihara’s only’ teacher.
"What are you talking about, teacher? For me, I can 'fix the lag loop' anytime. The most important thing now is to prepare lunch for you!"
Kihara Yui, a woman in a suit wearing a white coat, said matter-of-factly.
On the night of August 31st, even Aleister did not expect that the red energy crystal dust produced by the final explosion would actually cause signal interference to the surveillance network he deployed in Academy City.
As the inventor of the "Hong Kong Loop", Kihara Yui was naturally asked to participate in the recovery work.
And she was not lazy, and the spread was limited to several school districts in time. In fact, the repair system was being carried out in an orderly manner.
"The only one..."
The golden retriever spoke calmly again.
"Is this why you brought me to this special restaurant?! If I have time to find a place where I can eat with my pets, I would rather you give me a Cuban cigar!"
This is not romantic at all.
The golden retriever looked at his proud student and felt a headache.
It can be said that things have not been going well lately, and one problem after another has occurred.
Not only are there people ignoring the 'plan' and taking action against Level 5 superpowers, but the movements of Redtiri Dagururud are also very concerning. That immortal monster girl doesn't know what she wants to do.
There is also "unknown".
Thinking of this nickname, golden retriever is a bit unnatural.
If it were a human expression, it would definitely be a frown.
As the 'darkest department' directly under Aleister, this is the only existence that he has not yet discovered.
Nothing was found on the little girl who joined ANBU, and there were no clues to follow.
It’s really like ‘unknown (the truth is unknown)’…
Keeping these thoughts in his mind for the time being, the golden retriever sighed.
In short.
Before continuing your work as "Kihara", you should have a good communication with your students first.
Opposite him, Kihara Yui held food between his hands and looked at him expectantly.
