Devil's Luck[Arc 5: Worlds Apart]

Chapter 36: Chapter 36: Flask Bang



[Spinning>>>>Ding!]

[Congratulations! You have received, 1x Desert Eagle with a full magazine loaded in!]

"Looks like violence is the answer for this particular day..." Zenkichi muttered to himself as he loosely tied his school tie, wearing his school uniform once more, as he blankly stared down a dark, empty stairway.

It was the only way to get down to the lower floors.

In any normal situation, escaping a shady organization that was apparently, having been told by Naze, located under the huge clock tower of the school was a smart choice as there was probably a group or a one-man army waiting for him.

It was the best choice.

From what he had gained from Naze, the flask laboratory facility is separated into 13 floors, each with their own floor heads. Each set of floors is customized to suit the floor heads' specific needs and preferences, making it a highly secure and impenetrable facility.

But Zenkichi had never been one to conform to normal situations or follow the beaten path. His determination to uncover the secrets behind the shady organization and dismantle the flask plans itself fueled his courage, pushing him forward despite the odds stacked against him.

"Hm? Did you say something, Zenkichi?" Naze said, walking up by his side wearing her school uniform with her face covered up again with a knife handle embedded.

'...Just how the fuck does she do that?' He tried not to look but it was just so freaky and not something he'd usually see.

It was a neat trick.

He wanted to learn it, it's a pretty cool trick he could show off to friends and scare his opponents.

After all, imagine facing someone with a knife in one of their eyes and was fine.

Oh yeah he was going to learn that shit.

Zenkichi shook his head, "It's nothing. Just wondering when I'll meet that guy again."

Naze nodded. She knew who he was talking about.

"If you're worried about White Ghost, don't be. Just after he gave your unconscious body to me he was then called up on the surface by the chairman...most likely for something important."

"Hmm. Any idea on what the chairman is asking for that guy for?"

"Probably to silence a few spies sent by the other academies, trying to dig into the project."

Zenkichi turned towards her, shocked.

He wasn't surprised about Gun going after people, but it was that other academies were infiltrating Hakoniwa Academy.

"What the hell...why does this setting remind me of something?" He muttered.

Naze shrugged, "It's basically the plot of every teen or child spy in a school, except the villain wins."

The image of Gun taking on his punches like they were nothing replayed back in his mind.

Yeah, there was no way any normal spies or ninjas would ever get past him or survive in the encounter.

Now that he thinks about their encounter...

His eyes momentarily changed, the pupils turned red and reshaped.

Everything around him suddenly slowed down, as if time had frozen but was actually moving at a speed slower than a snail's pace.

He could feel a surge of power flowing through his bones, muscles and tendons, amplifying his overall physical capabilities to inhumane levels.

He clenched his hands, feeling as if he could finally reach Takachiho and even overpower Medaka.

Zenkichi narrowed his brows and his eyes went back to normal.

He was confused.

He had watched Record of Ragnarok, fucking loved it, and he knew for absolute certainty that the eyes of the Father of Humanity, Adam, are freaking powerful.

They were basically sharingan in a sense after all, except for not having its innate abilities and the evolved forms but the Divine Reflection would be able to copy those as well, making it far superior.

Just like when Adam copied the claws of the Serpent and that punch from Zeus.

So why didn't it strengthen his body and overpower Gun with just one punch or something?

Zenkichi thought about it as he absentmindedly began walking down the stairway with Naze following behind him.

'...Is it because Gun is human?' He concluded after a long time of thinking. It was the only logical guess he could think of right now.

Zenkichi shook his head and took out the Desert Eagle before him, out of Naze's view, and hid it under his shirt and belt.

"..."

He momentarily made a side glance back at Naze and continued on looking forward, walking down the stairs that would lead to the destruction of this evil facility.

'Sorry Naze. You might've fooled anyone else who has some basic seduction or emotion controlling type of skill, but not me.'

[Femme Fatale Charisma[Abnormal](New!)]: A sub-skill of the Super Charisma that does what the original skill does but is highly effective against certain women. It involves the ability to project confidence and allure, read people's desires and respond accordingly, and communicate with seduction and conviction. Works well against dommy mommies, female sadists, female nobles, female spies, etc.

'But I can read your desires as clear as day...'

[Naze's current desires: Is intrigued of you, Wants to kiss you, She wants to betray you so she can see the look of despair on your face and feel extreme self-hatred, She wants you to break her.]

...

Naze Youka's POV

How intriguing.

She had encountered and experimented on a lot of her peers with "Abnormal" skills and this is probably the first she'd ever experienced being under some mind or empathy control skill that made her awakened an old emotion she thought was "erased" along with her past life.

Sexual attraction.

It was a foreign feeling to her and she didn't know how to react to it, but one thing she knew was that she liked it. She liked the way Zenkichi looked at her, the way he talked to her, the way he walked with confidence, and the way he held his weapon.

Organic or inorganic.

She wanted to kiss him and be kissed by him, to feel his lips against hers and taste his tongue. She wanted to betray him and see the look of despair on his face, the same feeling she had felt when she was being bullied on last year. She wanted him to break her and make her feel alive.

But she knew she couldn't. She had a job to do, a duty to fulfill, and a goal to achieve. She had to make sure Zenkichi stayed alive, protect him from harm, and help him destroy the flask plans.

She had to stay focused.

But it was hard when Zenkichi looked so damn hot with a gun in his hand, even though he tried so hard from hiding it from her~

How cute.

Too bad though. She had a colleague who's extremely proficient in hidden weapons in hand with his abnormal skill and as the leading researcher of the flask plan, it was her job to know and understand all of her lab rats and colleagues' abnormal skills and other skills.

She did well to understand the Fake Killer's techniques. So she immediately saw through Zenkichi's movements.

She shook her head and looked away, trying to clear her mind. She couldn't afford to be distracted now. They were close to their target and she had to be ready for anything.

"Zenkichi, we're almost there," she said, trying to sound professional and not flustered.

Zenkichi nodded, his face serious and determined. She could see the fire in his eyes, the same fire that had driven him to become the first normal human to recklessly challenge White Ghost and survive.

She admired him for that, for his bravery and his strength. Just like her best friend Koga.

But she also knew that he was just a human, a mortal being, and he had his limits. Unlike Koga, who she remade into something better – stronger.

That's it. An idea suddenly appeared in her mind, she had to remodel Zenkichi into a perfect being after she betrays him.

...Ah, just thinking about it made her wet.

How interesting.

....

Zenkichi felt a shiver run down his spine after they came to a stop before a large, double metal door.

'What was that uneasy feeling?'

Thinking that a sudden ambush was coming, he stayed still for a long time before writing it off as nothing.

'The door in front of me should be the entrance for the fifth floor, a parking garage governed by someone named Hamaya Hyakuchou.'

The underground facility they were in is separated into 13 floors, the surface floor not included, in accordance to the group Thirteen.

Thirteen is the name of the group of super humans in Hakoniwa Academy. It is also known as Class 13. They all hold scholarships so they do not need to attend class. Their intelligence, physique, etc. are almost equivalent, if not better, than Medaka Kurokami's.

Gathered from everywhere in the world, to be a part of the Flask Plan. All of Class 13 are considered "Abnormal". Hard work, luck, and circumstances don't matter to them.

Everything they do, they do it in a way that is truly amazing.

The first floor is the labyrinth, controlled by an old acquaintance, Shigusa Takachiho.

The second floor is the garden, controlled by someone named Gunki Itoshima.

The third floor is the zoo, controlled by someone named Itami Koga.

The fourth floor is Naze's area.

The fifth floor is the parking garage, controlled by Hayama Hyakuchou.

The sixth floor is the library, controlled by Shoko Kamimine.

The seventh floor is the onsen, controlled temporarily by Otome Yunomae as the real owner and true member is missing.

The eighth floor is the grand theatre, controlled by Yamami Tsurumisaki.

The ninth floor is the graveyard, controlled by Kei Munakata.

The tenth floor is the beauty parlor, controlled by Yutori Chikuzen.

The eleventh floor is the sports stadium, controlled by Myouri Unzen, president of the Public Morals Committee.

The twelfth floor is the arcade, controlled by Mizou Yukuhashi.

And finally, the thirteenth floor is the computer room controlled by the group's leader, Oudo Miyakonojou.

They are the Thirteenth Party, the strongest group in school and some had the abilities comparable to an elite squad of soldiers.

And all of them were volunteers for the so-called Flask Plan.

'That reminds me, I gotta read the information I got from the system. It probably contains more information than what Naze is telling me. Hey system, download the Flask Plan information directly into my brain.'

[Ding! Affirmative. Transferring process, 1%>>>]

'Looks like I gotta wait for a while...' Zenkichi thought.

And as for Gun's residence...

It was located in area X, where some of the most fearsome superhumans, all with the power and ability to overthrow a country in two-three days, resided. Which goes much deeper than the thirteenth floor...

"Well, gotta save the best for last I suppose..." Cracking his neck, Zenkichi raised his right leg up and kicked the metal doors.

"Surprise motherfucker!!"
