Anime, Girlfriend Shokuhou Misaki

A formal member of the dark side organization 'Item,' her ability is Level 4 Ability Tracker, which, simply put, allows her to sense the AIM diffusion fields of others.

She has a high degree of compatibility with Mugino Shizuri in terms of ability.

With Takitsubo Rikou, Mugino Shizuri can precisely control her otherwise difficult-to-control ability.

Like a sniper rifle, taking lives from a thousand meters away.

The reason Haramura Makoto said 'nice to meet you' to this girl is because he only met her once when she was being controlled.

After all, when Mugino Shizuri brought her over, she told her to hide herself well.

After that, before Mugino Shizuri was defeated, she was completely controlled by Shokuhou Misaki, and Haramura Makoto only glanced at this girl when he drove them four back to the Artificial Manufactory.

Takitsubo Rikou, on the other hand, had never met Haramura Makoto at all.

So, there was nothing wrong with what Haramura Makoto said.

"Mm."

Just like her appearance, Takitsubo Rikou's voice was also very gentle when she agreed.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Haramura."

Under Mugino Shizuri's lead, the group obediently sat down on the sofa.

The girls who were complaining outside the door just now were now behaving quite docile.

But that's indeed the case.

Not only did Frenda not forget what Haramura Makoto did back then, but Kinuhata Saiai also didn't forget the scene of Haramura Makoto forcefully shattering her 'Nitrogen Armor'.

To be honest, she never thought that her 'Nitrogen Armor' had such a weakness.

Although she had been trying her best to make up for her weakness in the past six months, the gains were minimal.

What does this mean?

Even if this man doesn't improve at all, she will still lose to this man.

So, a wise man submits to circumstances.

As for Takitsubo Rikou? She wouldn't cause any trouble.

She was originally the kind of person who was content with her lot, and it didn't matter to her where she was or what kind of work she was doing.

"Okay, then, although it's a bit sudden."

"I'm here to announce something: from today onwards, you will be under my command, and the dark side organization 'Item' will be revived."

"You will continue to operate in the underground world under the name of 'Item'."

……

"Really?"

Haramura Makoto and Shokuhou Misaki soon left, leaving behind only the original 'Item' members, plus the new member Yumiya Rakko.

As soon as Haramura Makoto left, Frenda collapsed on the sofa with a disappointed face.

Theoretically speaking, their income in the past six months has been much less than before.

For Frenda, who likes money, this is not a good life.

But at the same time, her life has been very easy in the past six months. The tasks at the Artificial Manufactory were almost non-existent, with only one target task per month, and she was free every day.

Once a person becomes lazy, it's difficult to return to a diligent state.

"It's already been said, can it be fake?"

Kinuhata Saiai glared at Frenda unhappily, then got up and went to the corner of the room to pour herself a glass of water.

"However, I'm a little looking forward to working with him."

"And working under that man should be much better than the previous working environment, right?"

Kinuhata Saiai glanced at Mugino Shizuri, who was sitting on the sofa with a blank expression, with a meaningful look.

Frenda also glanced at Mugino Shizuri, and finally nodded helplessly.

Because Kinuhata Saiai was right.

No matter what, it's better than the previous working environment. At least, this man cares about his subordinates.

Unlike the previous Mugino Shizuri, who often went crazy from time to time, attacking indiscriminately, regardless of friend or foe.

Sometimes they would suspect that they wouldn't die at the hands of the enemy, but would die at the hands of their own boss.

Mugino Shizuri didn't care about this at all.

Or rather, she had no memory of this, so naturally she didn't care.

"Looks like that's right, look."

Takitsubo Rikou, who had been playing with her phone and hadn't participated in the topic discussion, suddenly turned her phone over, pointing the screen at the others.

The others all moved their faces closer, but when they saw the picture on the phone, their expressions all changed.

Even Mugino Shizuri and Yumiya Rakko were no exception.

Because the man on the phone was indeed Haramura Makoto, and what shocked them was the content on it.

"No way?"

"But, since he is, why didn't he use his ability back then?"

"Who knows, maybe there really is such a thing as an original stone ability user awakening postnatally."

The girls were all talking about it.

Only Yumiya Rakko was a little confused.

After all, in her opinion, how could someone who could be favored by Aleister be just an ordinary person?

They must be talents who have made achievements in various industries.

"Forget it."

Mugino Shizuri clapped her hands, focusing everyone's attention on her.

"A new member has joined the team, I already know her ability, but you don't know each other yet."

"Next, go to the training ground."

"Yumiya Rakko, you don't have anything to do next, right?"

Yumiya Rakko nodded lightly, she also knew that this situation was necessary.

"I've already asked for leave from school, I'm free all day today."

……

Artificial Manufactory, top floor, inside Shokuhou Misaki's bedroom.

Just in terms of room square footage, it's at least 200 square meters by visual estimation, and the room layout also has the style of a British young lady.

The floor of the entire house is covered with handmade cashmere carpets, and in the very center of the room is a European-style bed.

Just this bed alone is more than enough for four or five people to lie on.

The rest goes without saying, all are very high-end and valuable furniture.

And Haramura Makoto and Shokuhou Misaki were sitting on this bed.

"So, you're already Level 5."

Shokuhou Misaki looked very surprised.

She felt that the world was changing too fast. She had only been separated from Haramura Makoto for a few hours, and so many things she didn't understand had happened.

"That's right, it just happened, look, the Academy City news website has already announced it."

Taking out his phone, he brought up the page on his phone.

Shokuhou Misaki also seriously looked at the content on Haramura Makoto's phone.

Ability User Ranking Announcement.

First place: Accelerator

Second place: Dark Matter

Third place: Railgun

Fourth place: Space-Time Warp

Fifth place: Atomic Destroyer

Sixth place: Mental Out

Seventh place: Unknown

Eighth place: Unknown

"Fourth place, two places higher than me."

Looking at the ranking above, Shokuhou Misaki's face suddenly became a little depressed.

"Hey, don't you know."

"The ranking of ability users in Academy City is based on many comprehensive aspects."

"There's no way to avoid you being pushed back."

The role of ability users is not only reflected in combat power.

The ranking of ability users in Academy City is also like this, not only considering combat power, but also considering the practicality of superpowers.

The simplest example.

Mugino Shizuri's destructive power, normally speaking, far exceeds that of the third place, but because she is far inferior to the third place in terms of versatility and practicality of her ability, she is ranked fourth.

The former Mugino Shizuri cared very much about this matter and always wanted to find trouble with the third place.

And like Shokuhou Misaki's versatility and practicality are the lowest.

Shokuhou Misaki's combat power is not only not good, but her ability can only be used to manipulate humans at most. How can this ability be widely used?

Obviously not.

In fact, if the seventh place was not the original stone of unknown identity, and the sixth place mysteriously never appeared, Shokuhou Misaki should have been the ability user ranked seventh.

"I know, the point I'm depressed about is not this."

Shokuhou Misaki pouted her small mouth.

"I never cared about rankings or anything, what I care about is why you are ranked lower than this woman."

Shokuhou Misaki's finger directly pointed to the name of the third place, 'Railgun'.

That's right, what if her boyfriend is ranked higher than her?

She's too happy, she doesn't even have time to be happy.

The only thing she can't accept is that both she and her boyfriend are ranked lower than this woman, Misaka Mikoto.

"There's no way around that, right?"

"After all, in terms of versatility and civilian use, 'Railgun' should be the strongest ability among all ability users."

"Even if I am an original stone ability user, my ability is, after all, a space ability."

"Not very strong in wide application."

That's the fact, even the abilities of the first and second place, in Haramura Makoto's eyes, are not as good as the third place.

Especially the second place.

Creating matter that does not belong to this world is indeed a very useful ability.

But to what extent can the created matter be applied with the current level of technology?

"Even if you say so, I still can't accept it."

She can understand the reasoning, but this kind of thing cannot be easily accepted.

"Your hostility towards the third place is really obvious."

Haramura Makoto looked at Shokuhou Misaki with a chuckle.
