Even after traveling to another world, the energy did not disappear.

however--

In a world with an unequal power system, power activation is not necessarily a good thing. For example, in the world of One-Punch Man or Super God, power activation could destroy everything in an instant, and one must have perfect control over the power to control it at will.

For example, when cutting tofu on a thread as thin as a silk thread, you must restrain yourself no matter how much force you have, and you must use only control and a clever touch.

Changed clothes.

Put on gloves.

The two men exchanged a punch.

There are contingency plans in place even if someone gets injured, so I'm not too worried about that aspect. Besides, there's absolutely no problem with the game.

PK...

Start.

Yan was completely at ease with everything, even when fighting Sasayama. He even had a lot of free time to study Sasayama's fighting moves, such as this move that he had never seen before, which piqued Yan's interest a little.

"Sasayama... what kind of movement is that?"

"M-Lai Martial Arts".

"Is this the kind of fighting technique?"

"My Silat is a hodgepodge of Jeet Kune Do and military combat techniques; it's unorthodox."

"Military combat...?"

"In the past, human soldiers were the mainstay of the army. Tanks and fighter jets, without operators, would..."

"I know about this level too."

“Knowing and understanding are not the same thing, Yan…” Sasayama’s smile was very subtle, as if it had touched a wound that should not be touched. His smile was somewhat tragic. “Purely, harming others, killing if possible, is a technology that exists for complete control. It does not rely on independent machines, nor on the Dominator. Bare-handed, punching and kicking. Hugging the neck, breaking bones…”

"........."

"Although I don't know what the other guys think... it's really hard for me to entrust such a joyful task to machines."

"No wonder your crime rate is so high..."

"I'll take this as a compliment."

"Continue?"

"Fine, let me go... my chin hurts so much."

"Oh dear, please take care."

Compared to Sasayama's profuse sweating, Yan only wiped away a little sweat. Sasayama needed the rain to relieve his fatigue, while Yan merely wiped the sweat from his face. He showed no sign of leaving and sat outside the shower room, speaking to Sasayama.

"You really are persistent."

"Yan, so why did you come to the gym?"

"Oh, right, I came to see you!"

"Looking for me? What's up now?"

"What happened with Gino this time?" Yan asked casually.

"Um...that!" Sasayama said as if he had just realized something. He seemed to remember something, and then shook his head with mixed feelings.

Rewind two days, to the day before yesterday. In the Criminal Investigation Division, for some reason, Sasayama suddenly started a conversation with Ginoza. Generally speaking, the two rarely interacted. Sasayama was closest to En, who was an enforcement officer, while Ginoza was not in his circle.

"Tomorrow is February 14th, Mr. Gino."

They pretended to call him "teacher."

In reality, even Ginoza probably doesn't know what he's really thinking. Sasayama only makes sarcastic remarks and reveals his true nature when he's with En.

"Is there anything?"

"Oh, don't you know?"

"I do know the name..." Ginoza was somewhat displeased, his brows furrowing slightly. What was it that he, as the inspector, didn't know? Only Sasayama, as the executor, knew, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't seem to figure it out.

"I can tell you this common sense without even having to search for it."

Sasayama not only smiled, but also urged Ginoza to come over.

"...What kind of provocative tone is that?"

"It's Valentine's Day, Gino-sensei. It's a day to give chocolates to colleagues and subordinates at work."

"chocolate?"

"Yes. You know that chocolate can help relieve stress, right?"

"Don't treat me like a fool! Of course, I know that!"

"In other words, it's like this. 'Thank you for your hard work,' 'Please take care of me in the future'... With this sentiment, chocolates are given. In the past, people used this to smooth out interpersonal relationships in the workplace. The recipient must return the favor a month later."

"I see……"

That day, Ginoza first went to the executive officers' quarters, and his final destination was Seiji's room. Ginoza had notified Seiji in advance, and Seiji was woken up by the noise. He was always in a light sleep and would wake up at the slightest sound.

This habit has been maintained for so many years.

Zheng Lu was fully awake. He had changed out of his pajamas and was dressed casually in a T-shirt and athletic shorts. There was no need for him to maintain a clean and tidy appearance in front of Ginoza.

This is what everyday life looks like.

He opened the door to greet Ginoza.

"...What's wrong, Shin-gen? To be honest, I'm still very sleepy..."

"No, please accept this." Ginoza didn't want any more small talk and handed the chocolate directly to Seiryu. Chocolate was already quite scarce in this era; what was usually called 'chocolate' was just processed chocolate, not real chocolate.

The chocolate caught Zheng Lu off guard.

"This is... chocolate???????????????"

"What's with that expression? It's Valentine's Day today."

"Ah, yes, that's right..."

"Don't you know this custom? Even though you're so much older."

"I know, today is indeed Valentine's Day from the old days. But wait."

"Well then, don't forget White Day a month from now." Ginoza said this out of the blue, before Seiriku could even react...

Before Seiryu could react, Ginoza had already turned and left, while Seiryu remained dumbfounded, seemingly unaware of what was going on.

"What? Shingen... You don't actually know what kind of holiday this is, do you?"

That's because Valentine's Day has gradually been forgotten in this era. It's all because of that special period, many things have been forgotten and eventually disappeared.

February 14th is the 45th day of the year in the Gregorian calendar, with 320 days remaining until the end of the year.

February 14th is the traditional Valentine's Day in Western countries.

In 270 AD, the Christian Valentine was executed, and this day was designated as "Valentine's Day" by later generations.

Valentine's Day, also known as Valentine's Day, is a national holiday in some countries in Europe, America, and Oceania.

There are many origins for this festival, but the most common one is that it originated from the execution of the Roman Catholic Valentine, which was later designated as "Valentine's Day".

In the 3rd century AD, the Roman Empire faced a comprehensive crisis: economic decline, corruption among the ruling class, social unrest, and widespread popular rebellion.

To maintain their rule, the aristocratic class brutally suppressed the people and Christians.

At that time, a Christian named Valentine was arrested and imprisoned. In prison, he won the heart of the jailer's daughter with his sincerity. They fell in love and he received care from the jailer's daughter.

The ruling class ordered his execution.

Before his execution, he wrote a long farewell letter to the warden's daughter, declaring his innocence and expressing his upright character and deep affection for her.

On February 14, 270 AD, he was executed. Later, Christians, in order to commemorate Valentine's sacrifice for justice and pure love, designated the day of his execution as "Saint Valentine's Day," which was later changed to "Valentine's Day."

In the 3rd century AD, Roman Emperor Claudius II declared the abolition of all marriage vows in the capital, Rome, for reasons of war, so that more unattached men could go to the battlefield.

A priest named Valentine disobeyed this decree and continued to perform church weddings for young lovers. After being reported, Father Valentine was first whipped, then stoned, and finally hanged on February 14, 270 AD.

People began commemorating this day after the 14th century. This day, translated into Chinese as "Valentine's Day," is known in Western countries as Valentine's Day, in memory of the priest who sacrificed himself to protect lovers.

Of course, this is just one explanation for the origin of Valentine's Day; there are other explanations as well. As for the true origin of Valentine's Day, it is impossible to verify.

After delivering the chocolates, Ginoza went to Homura's room.

He remained expressionless, yet still offered the same chocolate. Chocolate wasn't unfamiliar to Yan; after all, in his real world, it was just an ordinary snack that could be bought at any convenience store or even a small shop.

"Yan, accept this."

"Hmm...chocolate?"

Today is Valentine's Day.

"You... are giving this to everyone?"

"I just gave it to Zheng Lu as well."

"Pfft-"

Yan chuckled, which was a normal reaction.

"Pfft-"

Yan chuckled, which was a normal reaction.

After all, in his mind, giving chocolates on Valentine's Day was a symbol of pursuing love, but this guy actually gave one to everyone, and they were all grown men.

This scene is somewhat unusual.

"What...what's so funny!"

"You must have been thoroughly tricked by Sasayama."

"What……?"

Time returned to the locker room once again, and Yan was still sitting in the same spot, while Sasayama recalled the incident and laughed again.

"...And so, I told Gino what Valentine's Day was really like in the old days. The death of a saint, a religious anniversary, and its custom in Europe and America. Then, somehow, it evolved into the Japanese Valentine's Day where women give chocolates to men... Anyway, that's it. When Gino heard that this was a sexually suggestive romantic activity, he blushed and got very angry."

"Damn it, I really want to see that scene for myself."

"So I said, don't mess with that guy."

Sasayama had already taken a shower, which was good news, a real joke, and the guy was still laughing as he walked out of the lounge.

"...It's not just teasing. Gino-sensei always looks so tired. I think it would be better if that guy had more time to relax..." Actually, Sasayama didn't really want to tease Ginoza. At this moment, his expression became serious and his words became earnest.

"........."

"...From the perspective of disappearance, Valentine's Day is very similar to military combat techniques. They are clearly rare means of communication."

"You bring fighting techniques into conversation because of your twisted personality," Yan said. "Anyway, apologize to me before Gino kills you."

"Seriously, do you really think I might get killed by Gino-sensei?"

"Someone who can kill me...right, Yan is a pretty good standard."

“If it were possible to rise above others, someone like you would be killed immediately.”

"Ugh, that's terrifying!"

Things from long ago have become blurry in memory, or perhaps the world itself has been erased from memory, and the life lived before has been forgotten.

The Sibylla System was a stroke of good fortune for him. Shouldn't he maintain this attitude and refrain from questioning it? Back then, he achieved top marks, and the Sibylla System provided the most reasonable diagnosis.

Acceptance and obedience to the Sibylla system seemed to be taken for granted.
