Chapter 26: Talks and Moving Parts

  ———Karra———

  <7: 14 pm>

  “” Seemi pointed out, and that is probably something I have to talk about, sooner or ter.

  *Click* *Tap* *Click*

  Of course, I don’t think I have much to say. I might’ve changed, but all things considered it was very minor, just a pair of horse ears and tail. I don’t find them all too different from before.

  “” Edea remarked. “

  “” Jackman pondered.

  “Hm? They wouldn’t go through different procedures than others who changed, I’d reckon.” I said, wondering what else would be different. It’s just a change to their body, one way or another.

  “” Edea replied. What do they mean by that?

  “” Seemi remarked. I feel like I’m not exactly on the same page.

  “” Edea proposed.

  “” Seemi shares her opinion on… I feel like I’m…

  “” Jackman said, sounding a bit skeptical.

  …Oh! Right!

  “” Edea said. Don’t they already have a lot of information on that particur event? Maybe what they say is true?

  “” Seemi asked, clearly starting to get suspicious. These guys already had sus on them when the information on my knife came to light. It’s going to be hard to say something without having some scrutiny casted.

  “” Edea quickly tried to deny it. “

  “So what is it about sex change again?” I feel like I’m not quite catching on.

  “” Jackman summarized. “

  “” Seemi pointed out.

  “” Jackman retorted.

  “” Seemi sneered. Guess she doesn’t like how many of them aren’t active here. It doesn’t help that this isn’t exactly a rge Harmonia group.

  “I think we can at least say the changes aren’t all too bad…” I said to put us back on track. I was searching something just now but the way the conversation is going I can’t exactly ignore it.

  “” Edea mentioned.

  “Pretty much circumstantial at that point, a lot of things can cause fevers.” I pointed out while I scroll through the feed.

  “” Edea replied while I came across a… Is this rage bait? Looks like rage bait. Let’s ignore that.

  “” Seemi said in agreement, sounding rather sarcastic… Wait. Did I scroll past something important?

  “” Jackman meanwhile dismissed the whole thing entirely… Oh! It’s the reporting on that! “

  “” Edea remarked. Now I do wonder if they accidentally caught sight of me at some point… Doesn’t look like it? “

  “” Seemi mentioned. Now with this news site there’s nothing talking about me at least, so that’s nice. I don’t want people hounding me preemptively.

  “Huh, apparently people got sightings of helicopters being shot down from that supervilin school.” I mentioned this as I click on the post and look at the comments. Lemme just gave them the link… “What in the world were these guys doing?”

  “” Seemi replied in bewilderment. Yeah who would’ve thunk it.

  “” Jackman said, also finding the news hard to believe. Trust me, if I wasn’t there, I wouldn’t believe it so easily either.

  “” Edea said, probably finding the whole ordeal easier to believe considering their background. “

  “” Seemi asked, clearly rather confused about the choice just like I do.

  “” Jackman chimed in with a decent expnation.

  “That… Makes sense, at least as far as why they use them.” I remarked. It still feels a bit brazen to send out more than two, considering no one really knows how dangerous the defense system actually was…

  “” Edea mentioned. Now I don’t actually know what part of that system actually shot it down. In the diagrams it listed things like energy cannons or as stuff like sentry golems that can fly. “<’The pilots are safe on nding, but they ran off before the onlookers could apprehend them.’ I would’ve thought they’d be sughtered, but apparently not?>”

  They might have, if Wiina didn’t step in.

  “” Seemi commented, not sounding particurly sympathetic. “

  “” Edea confidently answered. With how many people are still lying around on their phones and computers, I can definitely see some people pying internet detective on this case because they’re bored.

  *Click* *Tap*

  “” Seemi asked out of curiosity as I looked through other sites to see if there’s anything interesting to read or watch.

  *Tap* *Tap*

  “” Edea replied.

  *Click*

  Still no update on the school site itself… Then let’s go back to looking at other things.

  *Tap* *Click* *Tap*

  “” Seemi asked, confused as to why.

  “

  ” Edea further eborated.

  “” Seemi asked, finding the ck of those types of international news baffling.

  “” Jackman said after not being in the conversation for a while. “

  *Tap* *Tap* *Click*

  Do I know any channels or users who cover those stuff? I’m trying to think of a name here…

  …Maybe those drama channels? But I doubt what they said would be particurly accurate.

  “” Seemi asked while I contempted on whether I should look further into this.

  “” Well that turned dark quickly. “

  “” Seemi remarked, clearly a bit skeptical.

  “” Edea said, not sounding too bothered about not being able to prove it. “

  Let’s see what they just sent to us in chat…

  *Click*

  …Well this looks rather bloody.

  “” Jackman asked, looking through the article just like the rest of us. It looks really violent, why hadn’t there been more reports on this. “

  “Now that’s spooky, but it looks like that area already has a history of violence, right?” I pointed out after looking at where this takes pce. Admittedly it doesn’t change the fact that it looks like the gaining of magic and other powers cause the carnage to be a lot worse than it should’ve been, not to mention it might’ve never happened if that event didn’t take pce.

  “” Edea replied. “<...Actually, it’s a good thing this didn’t appear on mainstream news. Don’t you all think?>”

  “Yeah, it probably is.>” Seemi quickly replied.

  There is probably a lot of news that could cause mass hysteria, so maybe that’s another reason to not report on them, maybe.

  ———Wiina———

  <12: 57 am>

  Standing atop the new monument. Once a humble school turned into a project of vanity and nostalgia, trying to reach the stars…

  …I think I could come up with better monologue than that, for a scene in front my eyes.

  This main building is probably one of the tallest buildings in the world, perhaps the tallest. It stands tall above the clouds, and provides a lonely scene, leaving you with the dark night and sea of clouds as you stand tall on its empty rooftop.

  One thing for sure, if you reach this pce by your lonesome., you can hardly be called human… I mean, the term Superhuman does have ‘human’ in it, at least…

  All that rambling aside, it’s been over a month at this point, there is probably a month or two left before everything stabilizes and the new status quo emerges.

  Right now, things are still moving slowly. All things considered stuff like the emerging dungeons or unsealed paces are mostly unknown to people, same with monster outbreaks. Those things are either still unknown or still small in scope. There is still a lot to unpack for everyone else, let’s see how well they’ll adapt…

  …Also, when will she get here? I still want to keep the promise to those two.

  ———Lynda———

  <1: 19 pm>

  “Dammit! How is this happening again!?” The monkey guy screamed out with bruises on his face and limbs.

  “Haa… Haa…” While he is still compining to himself as his ckeys are incapacitated on the ground, I am still catching my breath.

  “Lynda…” Meanwhile Glery hides behind me as she was startled by his outburst.

  “Don’t worry, these guys are just a bunch of chumps!” I proudly said before preparing to hit this st guy with the bat.

  *Dash* *Smash* *Smash*

  I smashed the guy’s head in a few times and he plops down on the ground. He didn’t even manage to avoid it even once.

  “...Phew!” That still took a lot out of me though. I can’t believe they actually think I would even consider joining, when they were humiliated so badly already.

  Get a better pn if you’re gonna do something like this, dipshit.

  …Also. Now that I look back through memory ne, there were supposed to be five of these guys, right? Where did the other two go?

  “A-Are they going to be fine?” Glery asked, and I don’t really know. I give them a few concussions, but I’m not actually sure how severe it is compared to what Karra did.

  I wouldn’t be surprised if they are still reeling from that st fight, which is probably why I even won the 3-on-1.

  “Anyway, Glery, let’s skedaddle before this becomes our problem.” I said before leading us away from the scene.

  <2: 34 pm>

  *Beep*

  “” Kenni immediately asked once she answered the call.

  “I just got confirmation, you know, for ‘that’.” I answered.

  “<’That’?... Oh, that thing. When can we do the tour?>” She asked, getting the message quickly.

  “Starting tomorrow, it seems.” I reyed what I know. “We can go whenever we want, there are restricted areas, but those are already locked.”

  “” Kenni muttered. I would hope it is, with just the exterior alone and what we already saw the st time, there should be a lot more to explore.

  Hopefully neither of us are hit with decision paralysis.
