"Kuroko," Mugetsu patted the girl's shoulder and whispered, "Someone will see you."

"Hmph, I'm not afraid at all." Kuroko thought to herself, she had just declared her dominance. She wanted to keep those slutty bitches away from her brother.

"Okay." Although Wuyue couldn't read minds, she roughly understood some of the little girl's thoughts. She wasn't angry; instead, she affectionately nuzzled the girl's cheek. "Is living in the dorm alright?"

"Hmm, I'm just a little lonely," Kuroko said after thinking for a moment. "It would be nice if my older brother could come with me."

"No, that won't work." Wuyue shook her head slightly and said, "Kuroko is a girl, and I'm a boy."

19. "So what? Kuroko is my brother's girl," Kuroko muttered under her breath. "So, brother, do you have a roommate?"

“No.” Wuyue sighed and said, “This is privilege. Privilege belonging to those with abilities. Every world has class divisions, and this is precisely the root of conflict.”

"A contradiction?" Kuroko tilted his head, seemingly puzzled.

But soon, she seemed to realize something. They were surrounded. Right at the school gate, they were surrounded by a group of students who appeared to be older students.

"The Shirai siblings!" The one in the lead was a burly young man. He looked somewhat fierce.

Of course, the description of their muscularity and ferocity here is relative. In Wuyue's eyes, these guys were ultimately just elementary school students who hadn't even grown their first hairs yet, a bunch of boring brats.

"What are you going to do?" Unlike his brother's composure, Kuroko was a little scared as he was experiencing something like this for the first time.

"Hmph! Of course I want you to know that even if you have superpowers, you're nothing special!" the burly boy shouted, seemingly to bolster his own morale. "Why should the teacher treat you differently?"

"Hmm, so they're just looking for trouble?" Wuyue sighed and said, "You have three seconds to leave now."

Wu Yue's calm tone sent a chill down the spines of the elementary school students. After all, they were just elementary school students, and faced with such an unexpected situation, they clearly didn't know how to handle it.

However, the burly boy seemed to have some backbone; he gritted his teeth. "Bastard! Are you... are you looking down on us?"

His voice was loud, drawing many glances from those around him, including from two teachers.

"Professor Kiyama, should we stop them?" The one who spoke was the white-robed researcher who had been in contact with Mugetsu. Her name was Yoshikawa Keiko.

"No need." This was also a mentor Wuyue had contacted before, now considered Wuyue's homeroom teacher, who simply waved his hand. "That child. That confident aura... he clearly handles things with ease."

"But his ability isn't in combat," Yoshikawa Keiko said, clearly somewhat worried. The research value of X-ray vision obviously outweighed its combat value. Especially since this ability was assessed at level 5, Mugetsu was destined to become a superhuman in the future.

"That's precisely why we need to observe even more, isn't it?" Teacher Kiyama shook his neat short hair and smiled. "How exactly does someone with the ability to see through things deal with a challenger who is older than them? That's a research topic, isn't it?"

“But that’s too much of a stretch!” Keiko Yoshikawa offered a different perspective.

"This can be considered a test for him." Teacher Kiyama raised his head and said calmly, "I know you want to protect him, Yoshikawa. However, this is Academy City. If he can't even overcome this setback, your protection will only make him more vulnerable."

This……

Keiko Yoshikawa paused, then sighed. "Okay, what you said is true. But I don't want him to get hurt."

"Believe me, I don't want this to happen either." The instructor nodded. But before she could say anything more, the upperclassman opposite her had already made his move.

"You wretched bastard, I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget!" Clearly, the boy was going all out to prevent Wuyue from affecting his spirit again.

333 Bang.

Wuyue easily caught the punch with one hand. "That's a boring attack. You could have hit harder. Or are you just starving?"

"Damn it! You bastard!" the boy roared, raising his right leg.

Wu Yue easily dodged the attack to the side, grabbed his collar, and threw him over her shoulder.

Bang.

The boy was slammed hard onto the floor, and the intense pain caused his body to involuntarily arch.

"Let's call it a day. I don't have time to play house with you." Wuyue glanced at him calmly, then turned and left with her younger sister.

The older children around them were stunned by what they had just witnessed and dared not interfere any further. They even spontaneously cleared a path for each other.

"That was... martial arts?" Yoshikawa Keiko asked, her face full of surprise.

"It seems we don't understand that child well enough," Professor Kiyama said, raising an eyebrow slightly. "We need to add another research topic."

Chapter 636: Wuyue, the One Being Targeted

The 18th school district, a research institute called "Blue Shield".

"How is it going? Is everything settled?" An elderly man in a white coat, with white hair, gazed into the distance and said calmly, "Our plan has been delayed for far too long."

“Key material has been captured.” Behind him stood a middle-aged man in a standard security uniform. A scar above his left eye was a distinctive feature. “The original data is being analyzed.”

“Too slow.” The old man shook his head and said, “This way of advancing is far too slow. For the sake of our truth, the pace of advancement must be accelerated.”

“Yes…” The middle-aged man in the security uniform nodded, about to say something more, when a wicked voice rang out. “You can’t do research with such a restless mindset, Director Kihara. You need to calm down.”

"Chizuru Aragaki?!" Director Kihara turned his head away. When he saw who it was, his cheeks twitched slightly.

Wearing the same white lab coat, Chizuru Aragaki still exuded the charm of a mature woman. Her arched eyebrows, long eyelashes, and vibrant red lips were alluring, and this woman always radiated the aura of an older sister.

"It's been a long time, Director." Chizuru Aragaki walked up to her and smiled slightly. "I'm so glad to see you still looking so energetic."

"What are you doing here?!" Director Kihara clearly didn't want to see her. After all, this was the woman who had stolen the experimental materials he originally wanted, but as the wife of a director in Academy City, Kihara Gensei couldn't touch her. This feeling of frustration was extremely annoying to the scientist who considered himself to be in control.

"Of course it's to help you, Director Kihara." Chizuru Aragaki grinned and said, "In some ways, we've always been in agreement. Hmm, for the truth!"

"Is that so? Then I'm truly grateful for your kindness." Kihara Gensei smiled coldly and said, "However, I don't need your help. Now, please leave."

"Don't be so hostile, Director Kihara." Chizuru Aragaki smiled again and said, "I know you got that map, right?"

Kihara Gensei's expression finally turned grim, and he narrowed his eyes. "Who told you?"

“In this 18th school district, there aren’t many things that can be kept from me.” Chizuru Aragaki shrugged and said, “Using children’s innocence to achieve your own ulterior motives, you’re really despicable, aren’t you, Director Kihara?”

"Hmph! Don't think you're so noble!" Kihara Gensei retorted. "You, who turn students who admire you into research subjects and perform live dissections on them, have no right to say such things."

“Indeed, we are not noble people.” Chizuru Aragaki did not refute this, nor did she seem to care about this dark history of hers. “But in the end, there must be sacrifices to advance on the path of truth.”

"If you came here specifically to discuss philosophical research with me, then you may leave," Kihara Gensei coldly dismissed him.

“Of course not.” Chizuru Aragaki waved her hand and said, “Let’s work together on the research project of the gene map.”

"You're delusional!" Kihara Gensei roared, "You're a thousand years too early to steal the fruits of your labor!"

"Don't be so quick to refuse." Chizuru Aragaki didn't seem to care about the other person's attitude. Instead, as if she had the other person completely under her thumb, she said softly, "In return, I can allow you to participate in my research project. How about it? My child seems to be the one you've always wanted to get close to, right?"

Well?

Kihara Gensei's eyes widened in surprise, and his gaze flickered. "You're not joking?"

“Of course.” Chizuru Aragaki said calmly, “To be honest, with my current research conditions, I don’t have the ability to thoroughly study the enemy. Apart from the idea that I can think of for the time being to use the existing reserve forces to enhance the enemy’s combat power, there are no other feasible developments.”

"That guy, is he that strong?" Kihara Gensei showed an interested expression.

"He is the strongest." Chizuru Aragaki confirmed with certainty, "At this stage, although he cannot push the power attached to his body outwards, it is only a matter of time. Just five years! After five years, he will be able to grow into a force capable of single-handedly defeating the entire Academy City. How about that, doesn't that excite you?"

"Hmph! I hope it's really as you say," Kihara Gensei said indifferently. Although his attitude was cold, his tone had clearly softened, and he agreed to the other party's conditions. He turned his gaze to the middle-aged man beside him. "Shudo, you should know what to do, right?"

"Yes, Director." Even though the other party was his own family, Ma Zhao's Kihara only dared to address him as "Director," not as a relative. Because in the Kihara family, there was no kinship, only mutual exploitation.

“Before this new research topic arises, there is one more question.” Chizuru Aragaki took a report from her pocket and handed it to Gensei Kihara. “This boy will be of great use to our research.”

"Elementary school student? Super X-ray vision? Initial level 3?" Kihara Gensei glanced at it briefly and said, "You want this kid?"

"Hmm." Chizuru Aragaki nodded and said, "That ability is extremely important to us. Moreover, his skill level is LV5."

"Oh? That's certainly interesting." Kihara Gensei seemed to have thought of something, a sinister smile appearing on his face.

Chapter 637: Life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills.

"Brother, were you using martial arts techniques before?"

In the bustling streets of the Seventh School District, a handsome boy and a lovely girl strolled slowly together.

“Hmm, you could say that.” Hearing the girl’s question, the boy turned around with a smile. “But to be more precise, it should be called physical skills. By developing one’s physical strength to the extreme, one no longer needs to use any weapons. The human body is the weapon.”

"Wow, that's amazing!" The girl's eyes lit up with interest. "Could you teach me?"

“Okay.” Wuyue smiled and said, “However, this kind of pure physical technique won’t help your future combat power much. So, I will teach you another, more powerful one. But first, you need to prepare a little.”

"Hmm? What preparations?" the girl asked curiously.

"Plant trees," the boy murmured.

"Planting trees?" The girl was puzzled. What did teaching physical skills have to do with planting trees? Were they using tree planting to exercise?

"You'll find out then." Wuyue smiled, keeping 400 in suspense and not directly answering the question. Instead, she asked another question. "Heizi, have you thought about your goals for the future?"

"I want to help others and fight crime!" Kuroko blurted out.

"A partner of justice?" Mugetsu wasn't surprised. Otherwise, Shirai Kuroko wouldn't have joined the Disciplinary Committee later. "But being a hero is tough, you know."

"Kuroko isn't afraid of hard work." The little girl tilted her head back, revealing a captivating smile. "Besides, big brother will help me, right?"

Wu Yue was taken aback at first, then smiled and replied, "Of course, my little princess."

The little girl was very content. She hugged her brother's arm tightly, rubbing her face against his arm like a tamed kitten.

Wuyue also showed a doting expression. However, after a moment, the smile on his face disappeared, and he frowned slightly, looking at his sister and saying, "Kuroko, would you like some crepes?"

"Mmm!" The little girl was clearly a food lover and nodded immediately.

"Then sit here and wait for me, I'll be right back." Wu Yue patted her little head and turned to leave. However, after buying the crepes, he didn't return immediately. Instead, he turned and walked to a corner, saying calmly, "Come out. You've followed us all this way, it must have been hard for you."

"Oh? We've been discovered?" A figure emerged from the darkness, exclaiming, "Truly worthy of your X-ray vision."

"Anbu?" Wuyue narrowed her eyes, and upon seeing the SWAT team uniform the other party was wearing, she immediately uttered this term.

In this city populated by students, there is a police force, but it is mostly composed of self-organized security personnel from schools. Although they possess standard-issue weapons, they usually do not display them in front of the students.

More importantly, this man reeked of blood. The number of people who had died at his hands was definitely no less than double digits. This was clearly illogical for a security guard.

"Even the Anbu know?" The young man's previously calm gaze turned astonished, and his tone changed completely. "It seems you're not just any ordinary prey."

"Prey?" Wu Yue's lips curled into a wicked smile. Despite being only seven or eight years old, he possessed an extremely seductive aura. "You consider me prey? Then, as the hunter, what abilities do you possess? Or do you think that by stalling me here and ordering your men to control my sister, I will obediently submit?"

The young man was stunned. He had clearly not expected that his usual trick would be seen through by the other party.

"Are you wondering how I knew? You were so well hidden, even having your subordinates pretend to be ordinary people to approach my sister. Yet, you still managed to see through me?" Wu Yue said calmly, as if she could read minds. "It's actually very simple. My eyes can not only see through surfaces, but also into people's hearts."

hiss.

The young man frowned, staring at Wuyue with a sense of formidable danger. This child gave him a somewhat frightening feeling, as if he were facing not a newborn lamb, but a hunting lion.

"Relax." Wu Yue stopped threatening them and said calmly, "I haven't taken any countermeasures against you, which means I won't pose a threat to you for the time being. I'm also very curious as to why the people behind you came to me. Of course, all of this depends on the premise that your subordinates won't be foolish enough to threaten my sister."

"If you want to know, then come with me." The young man took a deep breath and said slowly.

“That’s what I was thinking anyway.” Wuyue nodded and said, “But before that, I need to get my sister back to school safely. Is that alright?” Without waiting for a reply, she left.
