I, who advocate giving up, feel like a disqualified person

As soon as I shouted this, the lights suddenly went out.

“Fuck…”

No way... This situation is...

power failure.

.................

"Cellphone..." At this point, if I don't want to lose, I have to go to a nearby internet cafe and contact Haokong to hold on...

I suddenly realized that the phone on the bed was on.

When I picked it up, I found it was Haokong calling.

"Hello...Haokong." I was about to explain the situation when I heard his anxious voice, "The power suddenly went out at home. I'm going to the internet cafe right away."

"Me too, what's going on..."

Is this a widespread power outage? Because our home is very far away from his...

. . . . . . . . . . .

【X City】[Somewhere in the sewer]

"Where are you going... you bastard, huh?"

From the dark sewer, there were heavy breathing sounds and a female voice that sounded slightly proud.

"Huh...ha...you...what's wrong with you...don't you care about others..."

Concentrate all nearby electricity to attack, completely disregarding the consequences of doing so.

"Defeat you and that's all I need. As for the others...this sacrifice is worth it, right?"

Her appearance could not be seen in the darkness, but the sudden flash of lightning in her hand illuminated the entire space and also reflected their figures.

Finally, the source of the rough voice could be seen. It was a humanoid monster nearly two meters tall, and its appearance looked very much like the demon described in the story.

The woman's appearance was also exposed under the lightning.

Her shoulder-length black hair fluttered back and forth with the restless dancing lightning, her green eyes reflected the lightning, and she was less than 1.6 meters tall. It was hard to imagine how she could force a guy like that into this situation.

"Take the move!"

The lightning reflected her murderous expression, which was completely inconsistent with her cute appearance.

"How can I let you hit me obediently!"

When the high-voltage lightning struck the monster, it jumped upwards with all its might and broke through the hard concrete.

"Tsk...what a pity."

This guy...can't fly.

.................

"Is there a power outage nearby..."

But, that game must be won.....just one step away....

I glanced at my phone and saw that it was exactly nine o'clock in the evening.

“There shouldn’t be too many people…”

I muttered, opening the window and looking out.

It was indeed dark nearby, but there was light in the distance, which probably meant there was no power outage there...

"Okay..." I climbed onto the windowsill and jumped down.

"Change!"

As I said this, a layer of exoskeleton armor began to appear on my body.

"Clap!"

Phew... safe landing...

The name of this skill is...what...Anyway, it's the ability to summon random objects in the air to form armor on the body. In fact, in addition to armor, it can also form melee weapons and the like. However, because the strength of the formed objects is not very high, it basically has no combat power.

But I think it looks like a transformation from a special effects drama, and the armor is pretty cool... but the color is like earth...

"Oh, right, taxi...taxi..."

I looked towards the roadside while releasing my ability.

Because after this ability is released, a lot of dust and other impurities will be left on the ground, so I got the nickname "Scum Maker". Later, I don't know how it became "Scum"... Ahahaha...

But I don't really mind... because my ability is useless anyway...

. . . . . . . . . . .

"Damn it... Why are the guys in this world so good at fighting..." The demon took a temporary rest in a dark alley.

"I was promised complete powerlessness..." He recalled his companions' words. "Well... as long as I have negative emotions, my strength will grow further."

"..."

He suddenly heard some sounds.

"I really don't have any money..." a cowardly voice came.

"Stop talking nonsense. We agreed on five hundred a day, but today it's only three hundred. What's going on? Huh?" As he spoke, there was a muffled sound and the scream of the voice just now.

"I...I don't want to either...You guys are asking for too much. My parents have already started to control my pocket money..."

"Cut the nonsense!"

......

"Interesting..." The devil seemed to sense something.

Hatred, deep resentment, a strong desire for power... and...

Huge... murderous intent.

"You are the one!"

Several people who were beating the guy on the ground suddenly stopped with their sticks.

"who?"

One of them was brave enough to look at the darkness beside him.

"You ask me?"

But the voice came from behind them.

"No name, no surname, only will and infinite power." He said to the boy lying on the ground in front of him.

"I can feel your emotions, anger, hatred, and other sins... I can give you the power you desire."

"...What kind of guy is this! He's playing tricks on me!"

One of them yelled, ready to swing his bat at the guy with his back to him, but... he couldn't move his body.

"Stop struggling... You can't get away."

The devil said calmly, looking at the man on the ground.

"How about this? Just sign a contract with me..." He moved to the side, "and you can do whatever you want with these guys."

"....You...you are a demon?"

"...Demon? Is that what you call me... Fine... Since you call me that, I don't mind. Yes, I am the devil."

"...Can you really give me strength?"

"That's right. My current body isn't adapted to this environment, so I can't exert much strength. But this will make them unable to move at all. If you use my body and exert all my strength, guess what will happen?"

“...” “...” “...” “...”

There was an eerie silence.

"How do I sign a contract?"

"A smart decision..." The devil nodded. "Words are the medium, thoughts are the contract. When you said that, I already understood your thoughts, so..."

The demon gradually disappeared.

"The contract has been established..."

"......." The man on the ground clearly felt that his wounds were healing at a very fast speed.

"...Immortality?" he muttered to himself.

"No, it's just that his recovery speed has become as fast as mine." The voice of the devil just now came from his head.

"...Is that so..." He nodded and looked at the four guys who were trapped in place.

"...What skills can I use..." He smiled and stood up from the ground, "Just give it a try and you'll know..."

Miracle Middle School

“How miserable…”

The girl who fought the devil yesterday sighed as she looked at the news on her phone.

Yan Yu is the only person in this city who possesses A-level strength ability at the age of sixteen.

"..." I'm so glad you can even look at this...

Haokong on the side felt a little embarrassed.

"...How dare you say that?" She looked a little unhappy. "There was clearly something going on last night, but you didn't even answer the phone..."

"I didn't expect a monster to appear..." Haokong scratched his cheek, "and... do such a thing..."

"Judging from the traces left on the wall in the photo, it is definitely that monster...it just seems to have become much stronger." Yan Yu frowned.

"....Wow..." Haokong made a puzzled sound, and then noticed that his [good brother] Yan Zi had arrived.

...............

"How unfortunate..."

As soon as I entered the class, I received greetings from Haokong.

Although this guy is very close to me, his ability is only B+. In the near future, he is expected to catch up with Yan Yu, who is the top student in the school...

By the way, Yan Yu’s skill is to extract surrounding energy, such as heat and electricity, and then launch long-range attacks.

Haokong's ability is to control the flow of air, or you could call it controlling the wind...

"There's nothing I can do... Although I've tried very hard, I still can't catch up..." I sighed and put my schoolbag on the table.

"Don't lose heart, we can still fight again." He patted my shoulder and walked towards Yan Yu.

..........

"Hey...Actually, you are the culprit..."

She is the only one who can cause the power to fail instantly.

"...I'm really sorry for disturbing you from playing games because I was catching monsters..." He said with a look of disdain.

...So it was Yanyu's fault...

I sighed. Since it was this guy's fault, I decided not to complain... After all, she was an A-grade student. For someone like me with a C-, being in the same class with her was already something I envied. I didn't even have the qualifications to talk to her...

"Cough cough..."

While I was in a daze, Yan Yu came to me without me noticing.

She...what is she going to do...did I do something? Is she scolding me because she's angry with Haokong, or...

“…” I was very nervous for a moment, but my face turned red for no reason.

"Well, I wasn't paying attention yesterday and caused you trouble. Let me apologize for now." After saying that, he left quickly.

.....Why?
