Chapter 161 (1/2)
Chapter of the week: 4/4 Translator: Reizenchuu Editor: Kenny Stryker
The moment I teleported I noticed that the President was about to get caught, so I quickly stopped Yanagi from grabbing him. He started cursing and shook away my hand while making an irritated face.
”You arrived too quickly! The members on the other floor should have stopped you from reaching us if you only use teleportation. As I thought, you have more than one ability.” ”Well, you guessed it.”
He calmed down and talked while being vigilant from me. On top of the teleportation skill that Yanagi has, I also have the s.p.a.ce magic that lets me teleport anywhere I want even though I never saw it or went to it before. When I replied to him with my casual way of speech, he stared at me with his sharp eyes and glanced at the President of the Organisation repeatedly.
”How did you know that we're aiming at the President of the Organisation?” ”My skilled daughter looked you up and found out about your entire life and how you spent it.”
Both Shibata and Yanagi looked clearly astonished when they heard my reply. However, the one who was astonished the most was the President of the Organisation.
”Y-You are lying! There is no possible way that such information could get leaked to the public!!”
He started to yell at me while still standing in the corner of the room but I ignored him and turned to talk to Yanagi.
”By the way, stop glancing at him every second and go kidnap him now.”
I talked while pointing at the President. Yanagi has been glancing at the President for a while now and waiting for the good timing to teleport him somewhere else.
”Well, that is if you can use your ability.”
Yanagi didn't understand what I meant by my last line and stared at me until he noticed the chance that happened to him.
His pupils trembled and he looked around his body with his jaw almost dropped. He realized that he can't use his teleportation ability.
”Keisuke? What's wrong?” ”What did you do?”
Shibata addressed Yanagi to check on how he was doing, but his voice didn't reach him as Yanagi was overtaken by the extreme shock.
”It will be troublesome if you were to escape. Don't think of it badly.”
I calmly declared to Yanagi who was clearly shaken. I erased his teleportation skill the instant I got inside this room. I can't afford to let him escape again. I didn't touch Shibata's skill because that will disturb the formation surrounding the building and open a path for the cops. The only target he can use his hypnotism against is the President, so it's not that big of a deal. As he accepted the fact that he can no longer teleport, Yanagi moved his hand into his pocket.
”I won't escape until I achieve my goal and I won't let you stop me. Besides, I already expected that you'd be here.”
The next moment, he took out a small remote control from his pocket and clicked on its b.u.t.ton while directing it at me. The remote controller started letting out a high pitched sound and nothing else happened. I didn't sense any change in the building too.
What is he doing?
”Nothing is happening?!”
When I expressed my doubt on the remote controller, I suddenly felt something strange in my body. My eyesight was swaying for some reason and my head was slightly aching. I couldn't think properly. It felt as if my brain were getting stirred and the high pitched sound gave me nausea. I closed my mouth with my hand and looked at Yanagi who was smirking.
I have no clue on what he did, but that remote control must be the cause. I fixed my gaze on the remote controller and heard a groaning noise coming from behind him. It looks like the President got influenced by its effect as well since he was kneeling down with a pale face.
”It's painful, isn't it? This is one of the countless experiments we had to go through in that inst.i.tution. It sends electromagnetic waves directly to your brain and blocks you from concentrating. I brought it for me just in case something happens and turned out that I made the right decision.”
”As long as you receive those electromagnetic waves, you can't use your ability.”
Huh, seriously?
”You need a great amount of concentration to use your ability. If that concentration gets interrupted, then naturally, you won't be able to use your ability. Now stay in your place for a while.”
Are you serious?
I tried teleporting as a test and found out that I really can't activate my teleportation skill. It only makes me feel worse by blurring my vision. I was honestly surprised to realize that I can't activate a skill that used to be as easy as walking. I never knew that concentration was this important. I contemplated this new information I discovered today with my usual carefree att.i.tude. Yanagi who was watching my painful reaction turned to look at the President who was kneeling down.
”Well then, come with us now.”
He insisted on taking the President with him despite not being able to use his teleportation skill. I watched Yanagi slowly walking towards him while doing my best to not fall unconscious. They don't allow the target to even walk normally. These electromagnetic waves are quite effective against normal ability holder but not me.
”This is quite effective”
The second I made a step forth, I teleported behind Yanagi and caught his right arm while talking in a bitter voice. Yanagi turned around and made the same stunned reaction like the first time, but this time around, I didn't stop there and stole the remote controller from him then crushed it. The remote controller turned into tiny fragments while Yanagi stiffened in his place, unable to overcome the shock of seeing me moving.
”W-Why are you moving?! The electromagnetic waves didn't work against you?!” ”No, it did work. I'm still actually feeling like throwing up.” ”Then why are you moving!!?” ”The answer is simple. You just need to spirit to get over it.”
I answered him with a smirk and looked at him making a confused face. I am still a human despite my level and skills. Usually, I would have either fainted or kneeled down like that President if I received the electromagnetic waves. However, there is one thing besides the skills and levels that made me stand their influence. That is my physical ability. The more I level up the stronger and faster my body becomes. I grow physically stronger every time I level up.
Moreover, I already have a pa.s.sive skill that doesn't need any concentration to be activated. That isMental Resistance (Max), no matter how powerful those waves could get, they will never give me a mental break down, which is why I was able to move through motivating myself and stole the remote controller from Yanagi. I wasn't intending to teleport behind him to be able to take the controller, but I couldn't help it in that condition.
”Stop it now.”
I calmly told him to stop what he was doing after I let out go of his right arm. Yanagi stepped back and took a distance from me while revealing a frightened face.
”J-Just What are you?” ”I'm a human with abilities just like you. Expect, I'm a little bit unique.”
I casually replied to Yanagi who couldn't follow with me anymore. All that was left of him after I erased his skill and blocked his plans was to fear me. I could just knock him out now and take him with me, but that would be unfair. Therefore, I decided to propose another plan to him.
”I will let you punch him once before you get caught, so, what do you think about the proposal?”
I suggested to the two of them while staring at the Organisation evil President. Shibata and Yanagi are more of victims in this situation so I gave them a choice. The President yelled at me when he heard that suggestion, but I just ignored him. Yanagi bit his lips and remained quiet before he eventually looked down as if he gave up.
” Whatever. I understand that we can't do anything about you.” ”Then give it up alre” ”But I told you this from the start!!”
