Chapter 365: Portrait of the Soul
"Come with me."
Tomori Nao didn't explain further. She simply said "Come with me" and led the way out of the classroom.
"Let's go."
Fugaku also held his bento box and unhurriedly followed her, eating as he walked.
Yisaka Yuu followed suit, quickly catching up to Fugaku and walking beside him.
"Mizuno-kun, did you hear what she just said clearly?"
Yisaka Yuu asked curiously.
"She said the assistant has appeared," Fugaku replied.
"What's an assistant?" Yisaka Yuu asked, puzzled.
It was the first time he had heard of such a thing.
Although Fugaku knew what an assistant was, he didn't say, since Tomori Nao was just a little ahead of them and could hear their conversation.
Fugaku said, "I don't know either. We'll find out when we get there."
So Yisaka Yuu stopped asking, burying his head in his food. He figured there was something important to do. He hadn't expected to have work on his very first day of transfer.
He also vaguely guessed. He Remembered that in the morning, Tomori Nao had mentioned that the Student Council had special missions, with the goal of protecting ability users who had slipped through the net as quickly as possible? Or perhaps coercing them into not using their abilities again.
"Troublesome," Yisaka Yuu muttered to himself.
He glanced at Mizuno Shinichi beside him, noticing his lack of expression, and felt a touch of surprise. Could it be that Mizuno-kun didn't dislike this kind of activity?
He thought of the superpower Mizuno Shinichi had just told him about—Telekinesis?
It was a very good ability, much more powerful than his own five-second possession.
"How nice, Telekinesis. If only I had such a powerful ability," Yisaka Yuu couldn't help but feel envious.
If he also had such a powerful ability, he probably wouldn't find the Student Council's tasks troublesome, would he?
"Is this the Student Council?"
Yisaka Yuu, who had finished his omurice on the way, looked around the Student Council room.
Seeing Tomori Nao sit down in front of the sofa, Yisaka Yuu instinctively looked at Mizuno-kun beside him.
Seeing Mizuno-kun also sit down by the table, he followed suit and sat next to him.
Just a few minutes after they sat down, the door was suddenly pushed open. It turned out to be the guy with glasses returning.
His name was Takajo Jojiro, right?
Yisaka Yuu silently withdrew his gaze.
After a while, there was no movement. Noticing that everyone else was silently waiting for something, the impatient Yisaka Yuu was about to ask what they were going to do next when he suddenly heard a bang.
The sudden noise in the quiet environment startled Yisaka Yuu. After a jolt, Yisaka Yuu turned his head and saw a long-haired, soaking wet 'water ghost' dripping water onto the floor as he pushed the door open and walked in. At first, it scared him, making him think it was really a female ghost.
But after getting a clear look, he realized this 'female ghost' was a man. His body looked quite strong, but he couldn't figure out why the person was dressed like that.
The person walked to the table and stood still. Yisaka Yuu silently observed his next move, only to see him reach out and slide his hand across a map.
His heart suddenly stirred, and he realized something. Could this person be the assistant Tomori Nao mentioned?
Fugaku's gaze lifted slightly. This guy must be Kumagami, who can detect the location and abilities of special ability users.
Kumagami extended his right hand and stopped it over a certain spot on the map. A drop of water dripped down, and Kumagami spoke, "The ability is Psychometry."
After saying that, he just walked away.
"What does that guy do?" Yisaka Yuu asked, unable to contain his curiosity.
Takajo Jojiro explained, "He's the assistant responsible for telling us the location and abilities of special ability users."
Yisaka Yuu understood. So this 'water ghost' guy was the assistant Tomori Nao had mentioned.
He had wondered what it was.
"Let's leave early!" Tomori Nao mumbled, biting her chopsticks as she looked at the map.
"Huh?" Yisaka Yuu instinctively blurted out "Huh?" when he heard about leaving early.
"What's wrong?" Tomori Nao asked.
"Leave early?" Yisaka Yuu had never left early before, so he was very surprised.
"Yes, is there a problem?" Tomori Nao said as if it were obvious.
Yisaka Yuu: "…No problem."
"Then let's go, Nanba High School!"
"Inquiry and Investigation Operation Start!"
Tomori Nao energetically raised her hand and shouted, then strode in with her beautiful legs.
Takajo Jojiro loudly echoed her words in support.
"Then let's begin too!" Takajo Jojiro said with a smile.
Fugaku knew who the Psychometry ability user was. After Takajo Jojiro left, Fugaku called out to Yisaka Yuu, "Let's go over there."
"Okay."
Yisaka Yuu had originally planned to act alone, but since Mizuno-kun had called out to him, it would be fine to act together.
He nodded and followed beside Fugaku.
"Mizuno-kun, where are we going?" Yisaka Yuu asked, casually looking around the campus.
Fugaku called out to a passerby, "Excuse me, where is the Archery Club?"
"The Archery Club? Go straight that way, then turn right, walk a few hundred meters to the intersection, then turn left. You'll see a building; go in on the first floor, and you'll be there."
"Thank you."
"Archery Club?" Yisaka Yuu said in surprise, "Mizuno-kun, do you know who the special ability user is?"
"No, I'm just more interested in the Archery Club," Fugaku did not answer directly.
Yisaka Yuu shrugged and didn't say much more. They had plenty of time anyway; it wasn't even one in the afternoon yet, so it was still early.
Soon, they arrived at the Archery Club.
Standing outside the door, they could hear muffled thuds occasionally coming from inside.
He estimated it was the sound of arrows hitting the target.
"Yisaka-kun, don't use your ability yet," Fugaku reminded him before entering.
"Oh, oh."
A hint of surprise flashed in Yisaka Yuu's eyes. Mizuno-kun's words made it sound as if the superpower user was right inside.
He didn't pay it much mind and followed Fugaku into the Archery Club.
"Who are you looking for?"
Near the entrance, a student noticed Fugaku and Yisaka Yuu and walked over to ask kindly.
Fugaku asked, "Which one is your club president?"
The student paused, then pointed to his club president and said, "That's our president. Are you looking for him for something?"
Fugaku didn't answer. His gaze swept around and landed on a wooden rack holding bows nearby.
The rack looked quite large, and it probably wasn't light.
But it certainly wouldn't exceed the maximum weight for Telekinesis.
Fugaku's thought stirred, and he used his Telekinesis ability. The wooden rack levitated.
Because the wooden rack levitated without any sound, few people noticed it, but Yisaka Yuu, who was beside Fugaku, saw the levitating wooden rack immediately. His heart stirred. Was this Mizuno-kun's Telekinesis ability?
But then a hint of confusion rose in his mind. What was Mizuno-kun trying to do?
He didn't know that the special ability user with Psychometry was right there.
