Japanese Terrorist: What? I'll fight Hellstar!

"Takagi's research?"

Tomie Kawakami tilted her head, chuckled, and said in a sarcastic tone.

"Do you really think his research has any value? Please, he's just a high school teacher. What he's researched is just obvious phenomena."

"Yes, but those obvious phenomena also contain valuable information. Controlling, altering, and splitting one's own body—if one can actively master this, it would be an extremely powerful superpower."

"Don't make it sound so obvious."

Tomie Kawakami frowned unhappily, hooked a chair over with her foot, sat down lazily, crossed her legs, and the tips of her high heels lightly touched the air.

"Although that idiot didn't figure anything out, you should have seen the phenomenon he summarized, right? When my mind is unstable, my body splits apart. That's all you're thinking."

"It's not that I'm overthinking things, it's that you underestimate yourself."

Amamiya Rin leaned forward slightly, gazing into Tomie's eyes.

"Really, Tomie, you're stronger than you think."

Although she was always passively being dismembered and reborn, as Junji Ito drew one after another, Tomie Kawakami's ability improved dramatically in the details.

Tomie from "Little Finger" can control the speed at which her body recovers.

Tomie, from "Old Ugly," can break her body down into cells and escape through cracks in the rocks.

Tomie, from the anime "Control," can parasitize other people's bodies, control their every move, and, like a vampire, manipulate her parasites to bite others and drain their life force.

Tomie Kawakami possesses cellular-level body control! Even if she doesn't currently have it, she has the potential to!

"So... my limit is manipulating my own cells to alter my physical body? What's the point?"

After listening to Amamiya Rin's words, Kawakami Tomie tilted her head and asked him a question in return.

"Hmm... In the simplest terms, you can become... the ultimate life form! Humans have limits, but you have no limits!"

A man who had stopped thinking appeared in Amamiya Rin's mind.

"Who understands any of this? I just want to know if we can kill that apology demon!"

Seeing Amamiya Rin suddenly become inexplicably high-spirited, Kawakami Tomie couldn't help but roll her eyes and complain to Amamiya Rin.

"have no idea."

Amamiya Rin snapped out of her daze and answered frankly.

Even the ultimate life form is still a life form; its opponent is, after all, a demon capable of wiping out humanity in one fell swoop. If one forges their physical body to the extreme, learns the ultimate swordsmanship, and obtains the divine sword from Siren...

"If one's mind, skills, strength, and tools are all at their peak, one might be able to put up a fight... Ideally, one should also have a Soul Master's Sword to constantly replenish life force and shorten the time needed for self-healing. If possible, one should obtain the superpowers of flying, teleporting, and releasing energy from a supernatural transfer student."

Amamiya Rin couldn't help but feel relieved.

Thanks to Junji Ito, who also drew a short story for "Dead Soul".

Short comics don't emphasize conflict, but horror games provide the protagonist with items that offer combat opportunities.

"Isn't there a way?"

Tomie Kawakami's eyes suddenly lit up, like a shark smelling blood. She jumped up from her chair and pounced on Rin Amamiya like a whirlwind.

Her long, black hair fell down, brushing against Amamiya Rin's cheek, bringing a slightly itchy sensation. Kawakami Tomie lowered her head slightly, her breath sweet and warm, brushing against Amamiya Rin's earlobe, her voice revealing a playful and pleasant tone.

"Hehe, you really are all talk and no action. Weren't you looking troubled just now?"

"I'm not a computer, so I can't give you an answer immediately after you ask a question."

Amamiya Rin was knocked forward by her tackle, and he steadied himself by holding onto the worktable with both hands. He helplessly raised his hand to brace against Amamiya's shoulder.

"I need time to think and connect the clues I know before I can come to a conclusion."

Tomie's arms wrapped around Amamiya Rin's neck like water snakes, her body pressed completely against his back. She rested her chin on her shoulder, turned her face to look at him, and said with a smile, "Hmm, hmm, let's say it's like this. So, how exactly should we do it, darling?"

"Pressure training, I don't need to mention that, do I?"

After the first intense training session, [Tomie Network] had the idea of ​​beating Amamiya Rin to his knees.

Tomie and her ilk are really not kidding.

Not only Tomie No. 25, who had tried it once, but several other Tomies also tried the pressure training and all of them persisted with the whole set.

"Aren't muscular women your sexual preference?"

Tomie Kawakami also understood the unspoken meaning from Rin Amamiya's tone, and she smiled foolishly.

"One of them, and in the past."

Amamiya Rin calmly corrected him, without any hint of embarrassment.

"The key to controlling the body should be meditation, self-observation, self-suggestion, and the most basic medicine. The latter goes without saying; without understanding the human body through medicine, how can you transform the body into the desired state?"

The former is also quite simple. Based on my impression of Tomie, each of your cells probably has self-awareness, but it is suppressed by your subconscious when you are inside the body. It only splits out when it flows out of the body or when you are mentally unstable.

What you need to do is introspect through observation, and hypnotize your cells through self-suggestion, causing them to change according to your will.

After saying that, Amamiya Rin paused for a moment.

Isn't this a manifestation of the idea that the mind triumphs over material things?

Therefore, the more abnormal something is, the more likely it is for the mind to prevail over the material world?

"Observe...no!"

Tomie Kawakami's smile vanished, her brows furrowed, and her face was filled with repulsion.

"If you don't want it, then don't. Hypnosis is fine too, but it will probably be slower."

Amamiya Rin readily agreed.

He knew very well that Kawakami Tomie wouldn't use the ability to observe easily; the previous time was also an impulsive act, and she had observed him instead.

"Hypnosis? That sounds good. Time is the last thing we need."

Tomie Kawakami's eyes flickered as she released Amamiya Rin's neck and straightened up.

The next day, in the medical school's teaching building, after walking through long staircases and corridors and brushing past NPCs from the dream world, Amamiya Rin pushed open the wooden door of the classroom, and the scene before him made him pause slightly.

The lecture hall, which can accommodate hundreds of people, was almost full at this moment.

Not only the NPC students, but also the fifty-odd Tomie Kawakami, dressed in different fashions, all with equally beautiful faces but the same restlessness, as if they were just happily strolling around the streets and then suddenly dragged to school.

"This is an unprecedented spectacle!"

Amamiya Rin clicked his tongue in amazement. Even on the first day he entered the dream, he had never seen so many Tomies at the same time.
