What's meant to come will come...
When that time arrives, Hakuto will definitely show them what it means to be a gentleman.
After all, there's an ancient saying…
A gentleman must be formidable to be respected!
A gentleman must strike hard when fighting, or he won't establish his authority!
Hakuto takes this as a great truth.
Upon arriving at the base, Hakuto took over Nao's role as the president of the Hoshino umi Academy Student Council.
Although Hakuto didn't want to be the so-called president, there was no choice. Nao had to stay at the base, or else she might get kidnapped any day.
Aside from returning to the base at night, Hakuto almost always travels between the base and the academy.
Otosaka Yuu had taken Kumagami's ability and replaced Kumagami in searching for other superpowered individuals to bring them into Hoshino umi Academy.
There was no choice; Hakuto and Otosaka Yuu had to operate under the watchful eyes of certain people.
Although it felt passive, Hakuto had to wait for those hidden in the shadows to make a mistake.
After all, he couldn't play the game of "don't want to part with the child but must catch the wolf," using someone as a hostage to draw out the enemy, right?
It wasn't that it was impossible though, since Otosaka Yuu could also perform memory jumps to find out who was behind the scenes.
However, this also carried risks, because memory jumping required both eyes to clearly see things.
Besides, in the original story, Kumagami did not get saved either...
"Do you usually get this tired as student council members?"
In the Hoshino Umi student council office, Otosaka Yuu sat on the couch, his face weary.
He had already seized Kumagami's ability and was working alongside Hakuto to carry out the student council duties.
As for the other abilities, he didn't touch them. After all, regardless of the strength of the abilities, they could still be useful when necessary.
Hakuto, on the other hand, sat in the president's office chair, only wearing the Fuyunozaki uniform but acting as the president of Hoshino Umi.
It looked a bit funny...
"When will this end..." Otosaka Yuu complained. Since Shunsuke went blind a few months ago, he and Hakuto had been living a two-point, one-line existence.
Although this was the only method left, Otosaka Yuu still felt bored.
"I don't know..." Hakuto shook his head.
A few months had passed, and those hidden in the shadows still hadn't taken any action, which was starting to annoy him.
This was simply unbearable...
Hakuto could sense that when walking under certain surveillance, he felt an almost imperceptible sense of being watched.
He didn't believe it was just a mere illusion. Monitoring him through electronic devices might be the only way to avoid detection by the supercomputer.
Even if he knew he was being watched, Hakuto actually didn't mind—or rather, he intentionally ignored it.
For the past few months, he had essentially handed over his back to those people, but they still hadn't made a move!
Didn't you see that Otosaka Yuu was lying on the couch, utterly disillusioned?
Hakuto was really mentally exhausted. After all, he had to lure out the people in the shadows but couldn't act too recklessly.
He couldn't risk having a needle stabbed into his neck one day.
Over the past few months, Hakuto hadn't considered the side effects of using the supercomputer, frequently relying on it.
This had greatly drained his mental energy, but it also allowed his body to better adapt to the supercomputer state.
Not only had the side effects diminished, but his body had also been considerably enhanced.
At least now, Hakuto felt like he could react to a Barrett... even though he hadn't seen one in person yet.
At that moment, Otosaka Yuu, sitting on the couch, suddenly tore off the newspaper covering his face and stood up.
"Let's go. There's something to do..."
"Huh?"
Hakuto frowned as he watched Otosaka Yuu walk away. Although he didn't know what the solution was right now, life had to go on.
Hakuto had considered using electronic devices to backtrack the enemy, but the supercomputer wasn't omnipotent.
To make an analogy, the development of mobile games didn't really depend on the game itself, but on the mobile phone.
The development of mobile phones could be said to drive the development of mobile games.
It was like O-God; the world Hakuto was in didn't yet have O-God, not because it couldn't be developed, but because the mobile phones couldn't support it.
Similarly, using electronic devices to backtrack an enemy's coordinates had its limits. Even if Hakuto were amazing, he could only track an IP address! There was nothing more to it.
There was no way around it. The limit was right there—if the hardware couldn't keep up, no matter how powerful the software, it wouldn't help.
Therefore, Hakuto had no intention of backtracking the enemy. That would only alert them and raise suspicion.
