Chapter 10 Is Honey supposed to act that way?
Midnight
Alex had already finished cleaning up the attic, turning it into so, Alex opted to leave the attic first, as he felt the desire to talk to someone
The floorboards creaked as Alex treaded the living room Heresidents ake up
”Still can't sleep too?” Alex looked behind hi for
Clint was currently lounging on the sofa, with his legs placed on top of the sofa's ararette, producing a plume of smoke that hovered around Clint
”I find it hard to sleep today…” Alex said as he sat on the chair in front of Clint ”Besides, there is one question plaguing ht not, and I want it answered”
Clint raised his eyebrows after he heard what Alex said ”You need to sleep right now, because to will be a hard one So, tell me that question of yours so that you can already sleep”
”Well” Alex looked around hi,
”If you really are the 3rd strongest Esper, then what are you doing here? I thought the strongest espers will be ht now, that does not seem to be the case”
”Oh Alex…” Clint shook his head while s, as if he found Alex' s question hu” Clint said as he inhaled a deep puff of sth, they will find no freedom Instead, they will be restricted far ine”
”What do you mean by restricted?” Alex said as he leaned his head forward in interest
”I cannot explain it fully to you due to the rules, but here is a simple explanation” Clint stood up froarette on the ash tray
”Once an esper enters the top 10 rankings of the 10 strongest Espers, so one thing” Clint said with a sigh as he found out that he had no arettes left ”Dmn, seems like I have to buy a pack later”
”And what exactly are they restricted fronore the Clint's s with normal affairs” Clint said as he laid back on the sofa
”After all, the top 10 Espers were too strong, and if they were to use their abilities to the fullest, a lot of innocents will surely die So, they are not allowed to fight on normal situations”
Clint said these words with a disappointed expression on his face
”However” Clint added as he raised his index finger ”If there is a catastrophic event or an extremely powerful enemy that appeared, someone from the top 10 Espers will be allowed to deal with that problem But if the situation is not that catastrophic, all the espers at the Top 10 will not be allowed to do so to it”
”Wait, hold on” Alex said as he raised his hands in front of hi me that even you, with all that power that you have is also restricted fro? Maybe its just me, but I find it hard to believe that soht”
”Alex, youin this world that is able to restrict all of us Espers” Clint said with an undiscernible glint in his eyes ”Even I have no choice but to follow the rules If I don't, well you can say that my end will not be pretty”
”… I understand” Alex said as he stood up ”Well… see you touess?”
”Yeah, just sleep tight for now” Clint said as he rued the cabinet beside hiarette ”Toood day for you”
Alex stumbled on his way to the attic, as he tried to downplay the ominous tone in Clint's voice
””
”Sigh, I thought I will have an easy ti the mission now Turns out I still have to rely on myself” Alex muttered to himself as he lay down on his bed
Asteria, as playing in the pillow, let out a snort as she sneered at Alex
”When you discovered that Clint is the 3rd strongest esper, you thought that you can use his power to coht? Hahaha, too bad for you, he cannot help you at all!”
”Yeah, it really sucks…” Alex said as he let out a heavy sigh
Alex did not expect that the strongest Espers were actually banned fro on the normal or mundane matters of the Esper world!
And they were just allowed to make their move if the probleine what the other people would think when they see someone like Clint who can control all the fundaan to shred the skin of the pillow ”They will see a monster, who can easily kill many people if he willed it”
”With that kind of fear present, it is not unexpected that the higher-ups will place a counterest Espers” Alex said as he tossed around the bed ”However, I still could not fatho as they please”
”Well, this is an Esper World, so you should expect that soical exists that can restrict all these strong Espers” Asteria said with her back facing Alex ”So don't overthink it and just accept the facts”
”Hmm…” Alex narrowed his eyes as he heard that Asteria's tone sounded so or person that is restricting the Espers, right?”
”Hah? What are you talking about? Just go to sleep already!” Asteria said as she kicked Alex's shi+n ”Didn't you say that you will have your training starting toy!”
”Hooh… so you will not tell me huh Well fine then, I will find it out by myself” Alex said as he covered himself with the blanket
”Hmph, re into a slumber
”…”
Alex's first day here in the neorld was an eventful one, and Alex was not sure if the following days can top it off
As it turns out, they really can top it off
”St” That was all that Alex could say as he lay down on the cold floor, gasping for air as he recovered his breath
His body looked battered, with sweat drenching his clothes and his skin looking extreot?” Clint said as he looked down at Alex coldly ”I thought you were soood Turns out you are just all talk Natalia, zap hihter, brandished her stun gun and fired it at Alex
