748 It must be fun to be a hero! (1/2)

The monster waved both its claws, causing the electricity to gather and flash violently!

Isamu realized that a powerful attack was coming! Yet, there was nothing he could do.

But, there was no need for him to do anything.

The caped person raised his unarmed hand. Instantly, there was a loud thud, and Isamu witnessed a golden bell materializing in midair and covering the monster's entire body!

The bird monster's attack was interrupted, and it collapsed to the ground while screaming in pain. The electricity on its body was suppressed, and it was seriously injured…

After seeing this scene, Isamu was almost absolutely certain: this person was Seigo Harano!

Isamu had previously witnessed Seigo using this exact technique to fight against enemy monsters in his dream. It had left him with a deep impression.

”Ha— White Night, is that you?” Isamu was about to reflexively address Seigo by his last name, but managed to change to using Seigo's alias at the last second.

The caped person turned around and nodded at Isamu.

Isamu was overjoyed at this news!

He no longer had to be afraid of anything with Seigo here.

At this moment, there was the sound of sirens.

The police had arrived!

Isamu followed the sounds and saw multiple police cars rapidly approaching through the rain.

What would happen now that the police had arrived? With Seigo's current getup, he surely wouldn't want to reveal his identity to the police… would he fight against the police?

Isamu then looked at the monster. While still trapped under a golden bell of light, it could be seen transforming into mist and struggling painfully while screaming.

It seemed that some more time was required to completely eradicate the monster.

The police cars soon arrived and parked near the scene.

The police got out of the cars and approached slowly and vigilantly, with guns fully drawn!

Isamu became quite tense at this scene. Since he was only an ordinary high school student, he couldn't help but panic when faced with fully armed police.

”We… we're good people!” Isamu put both his hands up in the air and shouted, ”The monster is almost taken care of. Don't shoot!”

”Don't move! Just who are you people!?” a policeman shouted back.

Isamu didn't know how to answer this. He looked at Seigo.

The caped person, who was indeed Seiji, looked to his left. Seiji then suddenly picked Isamu up and jumped!

This was a familiar sensation… Isamu was quite used to being carried by Seigo in his dream already.

The police and other bystanders looked on in astonishment as the caped individual carried the teenager up and jumped in succession onto the side of buildings, jumping all the way to the rooftop and vanishing from sight!

”Thank you for saving me, White Night.”

”You're welcome… did you transform just now? How did you accomplish it?” Seiji looked at him.

”It was thanks to you…” Isamu told Seiji about what happened.

Seiji was rendered speechless. He'd never expected that the words he previously told Isamu would have such an effect!

”Thanks to you, I've also managed to become a spiritual ability user. Although my power is still weak, I can now fight for the sake of justice!” Isamu clenched his fist as he spoke in a hot-blooded tone.

”No… this is the result of your own efforts… You were the one who was able to tap into extraordinary powers in order to save your classmate. That's something amazing,” Seiji told him sincerely.

Although Seiji felt previously that Isamu Seima had potential, Isamu's speedy development truly astonished him.

Isamu was quite happy to hear such praise. He smiled in a foolish fashion.

”By the way, what was that monster? Was it a result of Sin Activation?” After Isamu's joy passed, he remembered to ask this question.

Seiji fell silent.

That monster wasn't a result of Sin Activation like in the dream. It was the side effect of Ecstasy… but he couldn't tell a secret like that to Isamu.

Not only that, Seiji was unclear on what exactly the Sin Activation masks were. Neither did he know if the Sin Activation masks and Ecstasy had any connection with each other. It might be possible that the two were connected as both were projects being run by the Messengers.

Was it truly only because of Isamu himself that he had been able to transform in the real world?

Actually, there was another possibility… that Isamu had been unknowingly influenced by that bird monster.
