From various rumors and sources, it became clear that his name was Keito Shigero.
Moscow, Russia.
— Did you see this footage? — Zhenya, a young analyst at the Moscow office, couldn't believe his eyes. He sat in front of a screen, where bright red news headlines crawled across the display. — This… this just doesn't make any sense!
Ivan, his colleague, frowned and lowered his coffee cup onto the table.
— Magic. Or something very much like it. This isn't just "news" anymore. People are out on the streets whispering that the end has come.
Zhenya looked at him skeptically.
— Are you serious? This can't be magic! It's technology, secret research… I don't know. We don't even know who this guy is.
— Call it what you want, but one thing is clear: his appearances are a signal. The old rules no longer apply. Ivan shifted his gaze back to the screen, which showed Keito standing against the backdrop of fire, like the embodiment of a power that defied the laws of physics.
Tokyo, Japan.
In the newsroom of a major Japanese news agency, journalists exchanged tense glances.
— Eight minutes, said the chief editor, stroking his chin. — Eight minutes have passed since this man appeared on screens, and now the whole world knows his name.
— And no one knows who he really is, added one of the staff, casting a doubtful look at an old monitor showing the moment Keito rose into the air again.
— We simply call him "The One Who Stands Above Us," said the editor with a heavy sigh. — But there are people who know far more. And they will be searching for him. This isn't just a "phenomenon." This is a real change in the world.
Washington, USA.
In the Oval Office, the President of the United States was issuing orders to his team. Officers stood along the walls, hands clasped behind their backs, discussing the latest data.
"This Keito… he shattered everything we know about the limits of human capability. We need intelligence. I expect detailed reports. Pull information from every source," the President said.
One of the analysts rose.
"The problem is, we don't even know who he is. We only have footage and a few eyewitness accounts from Japan. That's not the full picture," he replied.
The President glanced at the screen replaying the Keito episodes. His face was cold, betraying no hint of panic.
"This is not merely a phenomenon. It's a threat. We will be ready."
Beijing, China.
A heated discussion was unfolding at the Chinese military command center.
"He's using something we cannot control," a general said, clenching his fist. "His abilities… they could become a threat to the entire planet. We must find him before he moves beyond Asia."
Another officer added quietly, "There's intel he's already acted in other countries. Even in Europe. He isn't confined to one region."
"Then it's time to act. We will be the first to catch this man," the general replied. He picked up the phone and dialed. "Contact intelligence in Europe. We must be prepared."
Berlin, Germany.
A young scientist named Peter was working in his lab on new artificial intelligence technologies. But today, his mind was occupied with something entirely different.
— I can't believe this, he said to his colleague, showing footage of Keito. — This… is incredible. How is he doing this? These technologies… they're on the edge of the impossible.
— If it's not technology, then what? replied his colleague, staring at the screen in astonishment. — He has a power that… I don't even know how to describe it. He stood above the fire. Just like that.
— And now the question: if this is magic, how do we explain it? If it isn't, then what is it? Peter shook his head. — Everything I knew up to this moment is now in question.
London, United Kingdom.
At the MI6 headquarters in London, officials were discussing the potential national security implications.
— This man, said an agent in a sharp suit, if he decides to act against us, we won't be ready.
— Agreed, replied his colleague. — But I don't think he'll just appear and destroy everything. We need to understand his motives. Who is he? Why is he doing this? If this is some new kind of power, we must approach it carefully.
— We will monitor him, said the first agent. — But right now, the important thing is that his actions could impact the political situation worldwide. We cannot afford to be caught off guard.
