"Quick! It's over there, and it's carrying a package!"
"Team Two, it's heading your way! Stop it!"
A Security Force member shouted anxiously into his walkie-talkie as he watched the rapidly fleeing figure.
After receiving the warning, the members of Team Two immediately raised their laser guns with serious expressions and aimed at the alley entrance.
It was as if they were preparing to face some terrifying enemy.
"It's out! Fire!"
"Whoosh... whoosh... whoosh... whoosh..."
Dozens of laser beams instantly shot toward the blue figure that had just rushed out.
None of them held back in the slightest.
After all, reducing the target to ashes clearly wasn't enough to stop it anyway.
"Meow! (Damn it!)"
The blue figure could only watch helplessly as dozens of laser beams struck its body.
Its body instantly exploded into a pile of ash, while the package it had been carrying was burned completely to nothing.
"Don't lower your guard! Keep aiming!"
The captain of Team Two stared at the pile of ash without the slightest trace of joy on his face.
Instead, he continued ordering his subordinates to stay alert.
"Meow! Meow! (It's over! My delivery!)"
Just as expected, the pile of ash suddenly began moving in complete defiance of logic before instantly reforming into that cursed blue figure once again.
"Keep firing!"
"Whoosh... whoosh... whoosh..."
"Meow! (No sportsmanship at all!)"
Tom frantically dodged the incoming laser beams while loudly protesting.
Before long, he disappeared from Team Two's sight once more.
"Damn it, it still escaped!"
"Team Three, interception failed! You're up next!"
"Understood!"
At that moment, atop a skyscraper over a hundred meters tall, Zegion respectfully spoke to the woman standing beside him.
"Chairwoman, are we really not capturing it yet?"
Hearing Zegion's question, Shizu smiled softly.
"Hehe, no rush. I want to see just how abnormal this child really is."
"I'm also curious where Kai-chan managed to find him."
"Kaito-sama has always been mysterious. He constantly creates unbelievable things."
Zegion replied seriously.
"That's true. Kai-chan always keeps everything hidden."
"Not only did he create a miracle like the [Dimensional Gate], but he even built a massive alternate space like Academy City."
"I honestly don't know if there's anything he can't do."
Zegion silently nodded in agreement with Shizu's words.
Time quietly passed while the Security Force continued intercepting Tom throughout the city.
Even late at night, Academy City remained brightly illuminated, and many students watched the chaos unfold with amused expressions as the blue cat was chased all over the city.
"That's enough. This child really is special."
Shizu watched the constantly fleeing Tom with a gentle smile.
Then, in the next instant, her figure disappeared from the rooftop.
Zegion vanished alongside her.
"Meow! (Looks like I'll have to find another chance to deliver everything later!)"
After muttering to himself, Tom decided to head home, rest for a while, and look for another opportunity later.
"Tom, haven't you been causing a little too much trouble lately?"
Suddenly, a gentle female voice entered his ears.
The moment he heard that voice, Tom had only one thought.
It's over. Completely over.
"Meow meow meow!!! (It's over! I've provoked the ultimate BOSS!)"
Tom stiffly turned his head and immediately saw Shizu standing there with a gentle smile on her face.
Behind her stood Zegion, silently protecting her.
"Meow meow? Meow... (Oh my, isn't this gentle Shizu-nee? Is there something you needed...?)"
Cold sweat dripped down Tom's forehead as he immediately let out an extremely flattering meow.
But Shizu's expression didn't change in the slightest.
She simply softly called out:
"Tom..."
Hearing the warning hidden within that gentle voice, Tom instantly jumped straight into the air.
After spinning a full 720 degrees midair, he landed perfectly in an elegant sliding pose before immediately kneeling and begging for mercy.
"Meow! (I was wrong!)"
"Meow meow! (I won't dare do it again!)"
"Hehe, children who make mistakes need to be punished."
"Tom, you don't actually think apologizing is enough, do you?"
"Or should I call Sakuya back to properly educate you?"
The moment Tom heard Sakuya's name, he immediately recalled that terrifying woman, causing his entire body to shiver uncontrollably.
He frantically shook his head so hard he practically turned into an electric fan.
"Then come with me."
After saying that, Shizu grabbed Tom by the scruff of his neck with one hand and casually carried him away toward the education building.
Zegion quietly followed behind them.
Tom hung limply in Shizu's hand with dead eyes, as though his entire life had lost meaning.
In truth, it wasn't that Tom couldn't escape.
He simply didn't dare.
As a conceptual existence, nobody except Kaito could truly catch him.
But even so, there were still two women in the entire Jura Tempest Federation that he absolutely couldn't afford to provoke.
After all, when those two women genuinely got angry, they could even suppress his master.
There was no way he could afford to offend them.
As Tom was personally dragged away by Shizu for "education," the Security Force members stationed throughout the city immediately erupted into cheers.
"That guy finally got what he deserved!"
"Chairwoman is invincible!"
"Finally, we can have two peaceful days!"
"Wuwuwu..."
Some Security Force members even started crying on the spot.
This period of time had truly been far too miserable.
After all, facing an opponent that couldn't be caught no matter what methods were used had practically driven the entire Security Force insane.
Unfortunately, none of them knew that another similarly terrifying existence was about to arrive in the Jura Tempest Federation.
"Oh dear, Shizu-sensei personally stepped in. Looks like Tom's really doomed this time."
Yuuri and Enju hid in a corner while looking at Tom with sympathetic expressions as he was carried away.
"Hehe, what are you two little troublemakers hiding here for?"
Hearing the voice behind them, the two girls immediately turned around.
Treyni stood there smiling brightly with narrowed eyes.
"Tr... Treyni-sensei! *2"
"Hehe, Treyni-oneechan, what brings you here? Did something happen?"
Enju's eyes darted around nervously as she hurried over with a flattering smile.
"Didn't Shizu ask me to come catch the two little silly geese hiding here?"
"Ah! *2"
"C-Catch us?!"
Hearing Treyni's words, both girls immediately trembled.
"You two, along with Veldora-sama and Tom, have been secretly distributing all sorts of comics everywhere and seriously affecting the students' studies."
"This time, you're definitely getting punished."
"Prepare yourselves to clean the swimming pool for an entire month."
Treyni announced their punishment with a smile.
"Wuwuwu... It's over!"
"Wuwuwu..."
Looking at the two utterly devastated girls, Treyni helplessly shook her head.
Actually, Kanao Tsuyuri rarely drew those kinds of comics anymore.
Recently, she had started drawing much more normal works instead.
Things like Everyday Life of the Regent, The Mascot of the Jura Tempest Federation, and The Seven Unsolved Mysteries of Academy City had become extremely popular.
If they were still spreading those questionable comics around, Shizu would've personally intervened long ago instead of waiting until now.
"Alright, stop looking so miserable. Shizu is still waiting for you."
"Veldora-sama has already been standing in the Chairwoman's office for half the day..."
