Chapter 10 - Level Six Meltdowner

A feeling I had never felt before ran through my body as I looked into Hachishaku-san's eyes. The ambiguous atmosphere and the feeling of intimacy made me feel a little weird because I am supposed to be a child at this moment. Maybe my Nana is a pervert with a shota complex... although I never saw her interested in another boy outside of me.

I was surprised that my mind focused more on that point than on the moral implication of our situation.

During my previous life I lived inhumanely and morals or law were always secondary to me, I had to steal and I had to kill when the world used criminals to try to assassinate me or when I had no other choice.

While I can justify my actions with the fact that I lived on a tightrope of tension every day, it doesn't change the fact that I am not someone of a normal mindset.

So my first reaction to feeling Hachishaku's hidden feelings of desire was not fear or rejection but it was jealousy, I felt jealousy that she would see other guys with those eyes. Jealousy that she only wanted me because I was small and not because she loved me.

Just as I was about to lose my reason and kiss her the door to the room broke and Medaka walked in as her hair glowed pink, at the same time the window broke and Hitomi walked in.

Well it was obvious this would happen, their senses are incredible and somehow they are able to sense my presence dozens of miles away and when I am in danger or so they say.

Things ended with Hitomi scolding Hachishaku-san for being intimate with me before her... I'm starting to believe that my mother loves me too much...

I'm an abnormal boy, of that I'm sure, so feeling excessive love does not bother me.

========

The days, weeks, months and years passed quickly. I turned seven years old although my physical appearance is similar to that of a ten year old boy.

As much as I tried to be discreet there came a point where it was not possible to hide me from the world, so people started to recognize me.

Obviously being recognized is no big deal, although at first the neighbors were scared of me and other people who knew me, after a few days they realized that I am not a dangerous person.

Consequently their fear towards me was reduced, now they only look at me with some caution, although that was only with normal people, Regardless of the level I have there are always people who will look for trouble.

So, this caused various villains, criminals, assassins, monsters and other people to start frequenting Hakoniwa looking for my head. Either by someone's order, fear, to investigate me or just out of curiosity.

Although I was surprised at how strong I am, not to mention the Demon King's power I obtained, I didn't even have to use my will, simply with my colossal physical strength and base speed I was no longer someone they could beat.

It's strange, I feel that my strength grows and grows every time I train and it doesn't seem to have a limit. This is thanks to Anos, he really allowed me to have enough strength to be able to protect my loved ones...

(Jiren will have infinite strength and infinite speed in the future inherited by Anos Voldigoad, in the anime when Anos moved the moon he didn't do it with magic, the magic he used was just to ignore the distance, he moved the moon with his hand. that's just an example, in the novel Anos charged a multiverse with his pinky)

=======

Weeks passed. Curses, blessings, elements, concepts, particle manipulation, barriers and many more types of magic, so called magic is a huge abyss.

I was in my room understanding this knowledge that I was acquiring daily, my problem was not the learning, because I could use any magic just by knowing it, what I had to do was to understand perfectly the depth of the magic I was learning, its effects, its damage, its limit, so as not to cause unwanted consequences by using it irresponsibly.

On the other hand my will was simpler, but at the same time dangerous, since its nature is simple and depends on my desires and well, it is basically my will manifested.

So I must be careful, I tried to make an energy sphere with my will like in Dragon Ball and it almost destroyed the city. luckily I put a magical barrier and nobody noticed.

With my will I must learn to contain my emotions, because the resulting power depends on how strong my will is at that moment.

Putting that aside, I got up and looked at the morning light high in the sky, I seem to be staying up a lot lately.

Hitomi usually works for long hours whether she wants to or not, but for some reason she always knows when I'm staying up or something is wrong with me. She developed an abnormality or Minus I'm not sure but she became a "super mom"... literally her motherly feelings become power.

In canon Hitomi already had a similar ability, but in this world it seems to be different, as I've seen her teleport to where I am when I wander too far from home without her permission.

About a year ago Medaka and I went to see a Power Rangers-style masked heroes vs. villains show. Unluckily for them, I was chosen to help out as the kidnapped child.

My mother called me at the time and when I couldn't answer the phone myself, Medaka answered. She found out that I was kidnapped (in the show), of course, Medaka forgot to tell her that it was just an act.

Five seconds later a blue eyed blonde girl down of the sky with an Iron Man style murderous look, there were panicked screams and chaos.

The poor villain peed all over himself while being held by Hitomi, I stopped my mother before she broke his neck, from that day on I decided to always answer her calls no matter what.

Ring* Ring*

My phone rang while I was studying magic formulas in my room, am I old fashioned for using an old phone ring tone, it doesn't really matter.

"Hi Mom, is something wrong?" - I already knew the reason for her calling, but I feigned ignorance.

"Jiren-chan again you didn't sleep?" - Hitomi's voice sounded affectionate, but cold at the same time.

"...It's complicated."

Now comes a long talk that I shouldn't neglect my health and so on. The conversation lasted several minutes and went as I had imagined.

========

While having breakfast I watched the news, it's amazing what can happen in this world every day.

[Today Gakuen Toshi (Academy City) announces that construction of the first colony on the moon has begun.]

Gakuen Toshi is a mega city in Japan but independent from the government, like the Vatican.

It was called the city of miracles, it is said that its technology is decades ahead of the world... of course various people like Doc Doom and others may dispute that statement and say that their people are more advanced but it is a political thing.

As for colonies, super space stations and such, those are things that would obviously come with the greatest invention of the century, that's what they call the space elevator in Academy City.

Personally there is something that strikes me more than this city of miracles.

Aleister Crowley in my previous world was a real character who lived full of mysteries, he was called "The Great Beast 666" who founded the religious philosophy of Thelema but died in 1947.

What kind of person is this Aleister Crowley?

[In other news Vought announces new members for the Seven, after the tragedy where several of their members died heroically trying to stop a plane from crashing, the Seven had lost half of their strength, people can breathe easy that the most famous group of super heroes can be complete again].

I don't know why I feel disgusted every time they talk about Vought, I should have read the boys comics, I only saw a few chapters of the TV series and I know that Vought are not good people, but that's a problem on the other side of the world and I have my problems here, I'm not so good people that I pretend to care what they do.

[The Umbrella Academy has not released any further statement on the alleged disappearance of one of its most beloved members 'Number Five'].

If I remember correctly he was the kid who could teleport and travel through time. Maybe he did a space jump go wrong and he ended up in the middle of a wall.

I hope not, unlike Vought's super heroes, they seem to seek to be true heroes... at least they try to be.

They are quite special among the Esper, they didn't activate their powers with the help of drugs or some experiment, they are born with abilities but they are not mutants, although they are not many or very powerful for the most part, I like them more than Vought, who only seem to love money and power.

After breakfast I went out to greet my guests. If you are wondering how I know there are people outside my house, I simply felt their presence.

========

Outside my house there was a group of three black vans with a lot of people in suits, but those men were just decoration, the important person was the girl with the ostentatious coat standing in front of my door.

She was a young and beautiful girl with long brown wavy hair, her eyes are brown and with white skin, she would be a beauty at first glance but....

"Hello brat... are you Kuhaku Jiren?" - the girl spoke vulgarly and her wild and cruel expression ruined her beauty, made her look like a wretched bitch.

"So what if I am?" - I answered calmly and without concern, which made him angry.

"It seems that nobody taught you to respect your elders, brat" - She spoke in a low voice as her hair stood up due to her ability, my instincts tell me that she is an Esper and a very powerful one.

Several green spheres of energy appeared next to her but she didn't attack right away.

[EMERGENCY!]

Several alarms began to sound through the streets in the distance, it is signal for civilians to go to shelters, it is a rule not to fight until there are no civilians nearby, of course fighting as such is forbidden, but from levels four and up, rarely obey that, So at least they should wait a bit so they don't kill civilians by mistake or else they will be put on the terrorism list and persecuted by various organizations.

Of course, that doesn't apply at the Omega level, but another Omega is likely to try to kill you if you become too dangerous.

One thing I recognize to Academy City is its advanced technology, the ground opened up in the distance and several elevators appeared to lower the civilians to the shelters, of course there are other methods like the system created by energy shields that contain the damage in different areas.

I looked expressionlessly at the girl who couldn't wait to fire her green beams - "Aren't you going to at least introduce yourself?" - The girl seemed surprised that I wouldn't show fear or even put myself on guard, but she smiled quickly ignoring her surprise.

"Well if you kicked The Strongest Loser's ass I guess you're not impressed by something of this level" - The woman laughed with amusement, I must say her laugh isn't charming either due to her wild expressions.

"Alright, my name is Mugino Shizuri my level recently went up from five to six, that put me in the second position of Gakuen Toshi how the most powerful 'Paranormal' after Accelerator. My Code Name is: Omega Meltdowner, it's a pleasure Kuhaku Jiren" - The woman declared with pride and hostility while the ground around her shook. The guys who came with her backed away as the ground began to break.

According to Hitomi, Academy City is a mega city that was formed mostly by laboratories, companies and institutions for research and development of new technologies, but its main focus is the development of paranormal abilities synthetically and the evolution of them.

This was due to the appearance of Abnormals and super strong Minus that almost destroyed them in the past. I don't know what Aleister Crowley did to him but he managed to stably evolve an Esper to level six... of course this was also due to the help of other Marvel and DC geniuses like Lex Luthor and Otavius Octopus who are members of the board of Academy City.

"I see... sorry Mugino but I can't let you destroy my neighborhood, so we'll switch places." - As I spoke I moved reaching her only with physical speed.

"What!" - she was surprised because in an instant I was at her side touching her shoulder.

"Gatom!"
