A Bizarre Adventure Starting with One-Punch Man

Chapter 54 Heart Network

When Johnson opened his eyes, the tamed magnetic field had transformed into his eyes, encompassing all the changes in the city at any time and place.

Saitama, who had just saved a family of strangers and was currently searching for the monster, was also included in the group.

Saitama's actions made Johnson feel ashamed; he never expected that a simple ability test would cause so much trouble.

Next time I test my new ability, I must go to the outskirts. The cities in this world are already struggling enough to deal with the endless stream of monsters and disasters. When a monster of demon level or higher appears, there is always the risk of being destroyed.

It wouldn't be worth it if you accidentally ruined it.

"what……"

Pulling his thoughts back from the chaos, Johnson was surprised to find that he seemed to have unintentionally developed a new ability.

"Psychic power" plus "electromagnetic perception" equals—

"Heart Web"!

Or it has a more familiar name: "Observation Haki".

However, the telekinetic version.

From the moment he activated his abilities, he completed the upgrade from controlling magnetism to mastering electromagnetic fields. He also developed a telekinetic version of "Mind Network," which even Qiao Sen himself found somewhat outrageous.

However, considering his identity as a transmigrator, his mastery of mental power as a Stand user, and his superpower talent that was unexpectedly maxed out by Tatsumaki, he was still impressed.

With accumulated knowledge and experience, skipping the basic application of electromagnetic abilities and skipping the level isn't a big problem.

Harmful!

Can time travelers be considered to have cheated?

The changes brought about by "Magnetic Escape" are not limited to this.

Previously, "Spider Static Electricity," which could only control the electrical charge within the body, has had its range of coverage greatly enhanced due to the rapid expansion of Johnson's biomagnetic field.

Even without the ability bonus from the "Berserker Heart" character card, he could control the almost endless movement of positive and negative charges in the world to create strong voltage and form super lightning that affects celestial phenomena.

This is just the most basic application of electromagnetism.

Since his transmigration, Qiao Sen has always insisted that the power of his original body is fundamental.

While the abilities granted by character cards are useful, they are always separated by an insurmountable barrier and are ultimately not one's own power.

That's why he has always been on the path of strengthening himself, turning all external forces into nourishment.

The stronger you become, the more you realize the importance of the basics.

So, after traveling for a month and a half, he had the record of defeating an Ora-level monster.

Therefore, after receiving Tornado's talent, one can use it seamlessly, turning top-tier superpowers into combat power.

Therefore, simply imagining a seed of chakra can grow into a towering tree.

In fact, the "Berserk Heart" that had been with Johnson for so long no longer had much use. The rigid application of the skill would only create a habitual way of thinking and become an obstacle on the road to developing his abilities.

As for the "Storm Mark" unique to the character card, it is not essential for Johnson.

So, Johnson made a decision.

"F-boy, uninstall the character card."

【receive. 】

A large, pale purple hand with distinct veins reached out from the void, went straight into Qiao Sen's body, and took a purple card with it when it left. The way it was unloaded was quite simple and brutal.

As F-Zai's right hand disappeared into thin air, "Berserk Heart" officially retired.

A gap appeared in the wooden plank representing lightning in the power bucket, but it was quickly filled by the newly mastered "Magnetic Release".

It's like shedding some invisible burden; instead of decreasing, their strength increases.

Of course, this doesn't mean that this fantasy card has lost its value, that you can't use it yourself, and that you can't give it away?

It's just temporarily stored away in the deck, waiting for a destined person to receive it.

If given the right person, it's not impossible to create an S-class in the future.

With many potential development ideas popping into his mind, Johnson was quite eager to try them out. However, the city beneath his feet simply couldn't withstand the mischief of a superhuman of his level.

The magnetic field that enveloped Z City immediately dissipated as the power was immediately withdrawn.

The next morning.

As usual, Xingzi arrived at the police station early that day.

How early?

The night shift officers in the duty room were struggling to stay awake, but were constantly dozing off.

But when that young, energetic figure, whose graceful figure was accentuated by her uniform, passed by, the drowsiness was long since kicked away, leaving only the tears that flowed uncontrollably from the corners of my mouth.

Waaaaa, apricot jam is the best!

After gaining superpowers, she had exceptionally high energy levels, to the point that she needed to go to the bureau's training grounds and private gyms every day to work up a sweat in order to dissipate it as much as possible.

With her current strength, speed, stamina, and reflexes, ordinary people are no match for her.

This is quite tough on the police officers and coaches who are the sparring partners.

It is said that headquarters will soon issue a batch of independently developed high-powered energy weapons, and Z City is one of the first pilot cities.

Although Kyoko strongly suspected that this batch of weapons was the same batch that the section chief had handed over before, it didn't matter. She was already eager to try it out. Once the weapons were distributed, she would apply to the section chief to become the second field officer of the Special Affairs Section.

In addition to the transformation in her physical strength, Kyoko's work ability has also improved significantly.

Those tasks that used to be troublesome and difficult are now easy to grasp the key points of.

Since the establishment of the Special Affairs Section, there has been no backlog of cases, including old cases handed over from other departments, that the deputy section chief cannot resolve as long as he takes charge.

The sense of accomplishment she gains every day is overflowing. The dark circles under her eyes from being forced to work have gradually faded. The former young policewoman now exudes the charm and aura of a mature woman. If it weren't for discipline, her colleagues from the police station would line up all the way to the chief's office to pursue her.

"what?"

Just as she rummaged through her bag for her keys to open the door, the slightly ajar office door opened. To her surprise, Kyoko saw a tall figure sitting at her seat—a figure that should never be there at this time. Her first thought was that she was hallucinating.

"Section...Section Chief?"

"Good morning," Johnson greeted her, then looked up to see the policewoman rubbing her eyes in an unladylike manner. He said irritably, "What's wrong? Are you surprised to see me?"

"Good morning..." Xingzi smiled, and even the light from the rising sun outside the window seemed brighter. "There was a little accident! Section Chief, shouldn't you just wear casual clothes and casually stroll around during work hours to clock in?"

"Such blatant slander of your superior will get you in trouble, Section Chief Anzu," Josen said with a sneer as he looked at his subordinate who was grinning and acting cute. "You wouldn't want a fresh breakfast placed in front of you that you can only look at but not eat, would you?"

Snapped!

With a snap of his fingers, the idle desk was suddenly piled high with food: yogurt, coffee, bread, eggs, and a variety of steaming pastries, a dazzling array that made one's mouth water, and the air was filled with tempting aromas.

Chapter 55 Knowledge is Power

"Hey, section chief, would you like to have breakfast with me? Thank you, section chief!"

The woman in front of him seemed not to hear his threat. She didn't even put down her bag, and was sipping a caramel mocha while picking through the food on the table.

Johnson's gaze returned to the book in front of him, and he clicked his tongue.

"Oh, woman."

“It’s delicious!”

After eating two slices of bacon bread in a few bites, Xingzi touched her flat stomach and suddenly realized that it wouldn't be easy for her to gain weight with her current physique.

This idea seemed to open the door to a new world. Anzu put down her coffee as if possessed, and when she came to her senses, she was already holding a large bowl of seafood ramen, which she would never have touched for breakfast before, and showing it off.

Storm inhalation...

So hot!

But it's so delicious!

After finishing her meal, Xingzi picked up a tissue from the table to wipe her hands, put her bag in the cupboard, and only then did she have time to carefully examine the book about Qiao Sen.

At his desk, Johnson was wearing a neatly ironed white shirt (F-zai: I ironed it overnight), a dark blue police uniform draped over the back of his chair, a large book open in front of him, and a stack of calculation papers covered with formulas.

If he were to wear a pair of black-rimmed glasses, Anzu could even sense a touch of refined gentleness emanating from this strong physique.

But this contrast is just too outrageous, isn't it?

Kyoko silently grumbled to herself, but her section chief's voice suddenly rang in her ears: "Who's being refined and easygoing? Who are you calling outrageous? Why are you swearing at me when I invited you to breakfast?"

"...Hey, did I say it out loud?"

Kyoko was speechless, then took a step back in horror: "Section Chief! You, you... you actually used mind-reading on me! That's too much!"

"The official name is 'Mind Web,' and mind reading is just one of the derived abilities," Johnson said without looking up. "So you can't just curse me in your mind, you know."

"Ugh! Section Chief, how come you always seem to awaken some weird superpowers!" Remembering how she'd previously used the section chief as the object of some fantasies, Xingzi's face flushed red. She quickly shook her head, trying to shake off those embarrassing images, but as she stopped, she met Qiao Sen's slightly amused gaze. Her face instantly turned bright red: "You can't just pry into your subordinates' thoughts! That's their personal privacy!"

"I know, I haven't been using this ability for very long, so I'm not very skilled yet. I won't use it on you casually in the future." Johnson's tone shifted, and he squinted at the wicked woman in front of him who was lusting after him. "It seems like you're the one being weird, right? All those things in your head..."

Having transformed into a steampunk princess, Kyoko used her once-in-a-lifetime teleportation ability to cover Josen's mouth with lightning speed, before even the sound of bells ringing: "You can't say it! It'll be 404!"

A fresh, floral fragrance wafted over him, and Johnson suppressed the electromagnetic field that spontaneously wanted to form around him: "Hmm... alright then, this won't happen again."
