Super God: If I punch you, you will die

Have those memories truly vanished? The 'past self'—that past self—has disappeared too, hasn't it? Back then, what kind of person did I want to become? What kind of life did I want to live? It seems I never considered these important things.

A few days before the Mido serial murder case.

Yan underwent a rigorous training session, one that exceeded anyone's limits and could even be exhausting, yet he persevered, relying on his exceptional physical condition and unwavering willpower. Afterward, drenched in sweat, he took a shower and changed into clean clothes that perfectly showcased his impeccable physique.

There are mountains of documents piled up on the desk.

Yan didn't want to deal with these trivial matters, but he was starting to feel helpless. Ginoza was both cold and nagging, which was really annoying.

——Mitsuru Sasayama.

"That hostage's crime rate is 98... He's practically a potential criminal now, isn't he? Why not just take him out too?"

This is a quote from Sasayama, and Yan's memory is so exceptional that it's impossible for him to forget these details. Moreover, this statement is clearly very pointed, meaning that Sasayama actually has his own judgment, which is quite clear.

"How could I do something so foolish!"

"You're so gentle, but I hope this gentleness doesn't become your fatal flaw." Sasayama's words and actions were actually quite extreme, after all, that's just his personality. He didn't put on any pretense in front of Yan, unlike when he was facing Ginoza.

Yan—the man who was replaced by Yan.

I often feel that this world is all fake. Since everything is fake, it seems that doing anything is meaningless. So why bother with deterrence like an ant on a hot pan? Isn't that just a waste of effort?

—Shogo Makishima.

—The life you took away was special to me.

That was the life that taught me the true feeling of being alive.

—How dare you take it from me!

These were Yan's memories. Yan slowly opened his eyes, feeling an intense sense of empathy, as if he had personally experienced them all again.

"……Um?"

My consciousness was even a little hazy; I had fallen asleep without even realizing it. The chair was just so comfortable, and perhaps it was an unconscious urge to sleep.

He looked around.

Frown slightly.

Then a wicked smile curled at the corner of his lips.

Yan's eyes once again revealed that tenderness. As Yan's dazed gaze returned, Tsunemori Akane also saw a different Yan in a daze. Was that slightly unfamiliar Yan for a moment just a momentary illusion?

is it?

No?

really?

The doubts were really heavy, but when Tsunemori Akane saw that smile, her heart was instantly stirred, like a small stone being thrown into a lake, creating ripples that spread outwards.

"Tsunemori... Inspector?"

"Yes."

Am I asleep?

"Yes."

"That was too lax... I'm sorry."

"What? This counts?" Tsunemori Akane even found Yan somewhat adorable at this moment, and her smile appeared naturally.

"No, I mean, it's unbelievable that Mr. Yan would apologize like this."

"what."

Yan was also somewhat dazed. Suddenly, some fragments of images surfaced in his mind—images of Ginoza in his youth, no, in his childhood. It was a Ginoza with a very innocent face, a small, miniature, even somewhat cute Ginoza.

It's completely different from the current Ginoza.

He saw that the surroundings appeared to be an abandoned area, and a man beside him who looked similar to him seemed to be his father, Ginoza's father, that much was certain.

The abandoned area was filled with ruins and piles of other trash that were hard to look at, and even more terrifying was the nauseating stench permeating the air. If this man was Ginoza's father, why would a father bring his young child to such a dangerous area? What was his purpose? At the same time, Ginoza was also recalling this memory.

My memory is a bit hazy.

Ginoza's father seemed to have said something like this: "We've run into a little trouble and need to take refuge in a safe home. It's okay, it's just for a day. Nothing special."

His father also showed him a pistol, which made Ginoza feel a sense of disgust.

However, this memory is already very blurry, and Ginoza himself is not sure whether he has altered his memory.

In the years that followed, that special day arrived.

Nichito Gakuin University

Faculty of Law.

Ginoza attends a college of higher education. Under the Sibylla system, the Faculty of Law is a very special institution. All laws in this country are system-related, and everything is based on the Sibylla system.

"Why is he so innocent-looking, even though he's the son of a potential criminal?"

Such appalling behavior and ignorant remarks are not uncommon in schools. Those people spread rumors and think they're champions of justice. They're talking about Ginoza, after all, Ginoza's father is a potential criminal, which is a stain on Ginoza's reputation.

Does the son of a potential criminal have to be a potential criminal?

Ginoza scoffed at these people; in his eyes, these scumbags were the real potential criminals, their thoughts utterly depraved. Some troublemakers would directly confront Ginoza, but a brawl wouldn't affect his image, and Ginoza wasn't afraid of them.

When soldiers come, generals will block them; when water comes, earth will dam it. There is nothing that cannot be solved, so why worry? Why not just enjoy life?

This is Ginoza's attitude.

I will not offend others unless they offend me; if they do offend me, I will be punished by heaven and earth.

"Why was your father identified as a potential criminal? Was it because of violence?"

What if it's a sex crime?

"No, could it be that I violated my son... Did I actually have sex with him?"

"Looks like they're doing something not worth being proud of." Before these guys could finish speaking, one of them had already been knocked to the ground. Too easy.

"What the hell?! You bastard—"

"I am Yan from the Department of Social Sciences."

Ginoza wasn't particularly skilled at fighting, but Yan was on a completely different level. In no time, everyone was down, howling in pain as if they'd realized something: they regretted provoking them.

This is someone they can't afford to mess with.

“Doing something like this… will raise the crime rate!” Ginoza didn’t want to involve En; this was his own trouble, and he shouldn’t drag others down with him.

Especially Yan, such an outstanding person should not be considered trash of society by the Sibyl System because of such a trivial matter. He is destined to become a top talent with extraordinary talent that everyone envies.

He has a bright future ahead of him, and he absolutely cannot allow such a promising future to be ruined by this trash; it would be too much of a waste. This is the man who won first place in the Social Sciences Division, and Ginoza is not even as good as him, only achieving second place. Ginoza really doesn't want En to see him in such an embarrassing state; it's too shameful.

“I didn’t intend to kill them. Sibylla will surely understand.”

"Why... is he so strong even though he has excellent grades?"

"Because I practice boxing and wrestling."

"Did it also determine the athlete's suitability?"

"No... I wouldn't call it a hobby."

"A hobby? Is it to relieve stress?"

"No, it's probably the enjoyment I get from training myself."

"Yan...you're really strange."

Do you know my name?

This question must have made Ginoza think there was something wrong. After all, he was a talent confirmed by the Sibyl System to be one in a hundred years, and everyone in the academy knew about him. How could he not know the resounding name of 'Flame'? That was absolutely impossible.

Don't you know my name?

"It's vague, like I've seen it somewhere before... 'Gino something'."

"Nobumoto Ginoza. Remember this well."

With En's help, Ginoza stood up. This was how they met, and how, by chance, En and Ginoza grew closer. Of course, this was all Kogami's experience, not En's. They traveled around and spent almost all their time together.

What should we do in the future?

"I want to become an inspector. That's the elite path set by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare." They would even talk about future career paths like girls would, perhaps only people with such close relationships would do that. At that time, Ginoza had already thought it through very clearly.

Are you happy with this job?

“It’s not a matter of being happy or not,” Ginoza’s personality certainly allowed him to say such things. There was always a stubbornness in his heart. Perhaps Ginoza was just numbing himself. His voice was convincing himself, “The Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare is now the center of the world. Even if I’m just a little bit, I want to get closer to the center.”

"Sigh. Well then, I'll do this too." That's what Kogami said back then, seemingly very casually, as if he didn't care about the future at all.

In the eyes of others, he has unique advantages, and his future seems bright and promising.

but--

He hadn't actually thought about anything.

Perhaps this is the mindset of a genius.

This nonchalant and indifferent attitude made Ginoza a little angry. As the second-place finisher, Ginoza was very envious of him, which is why he was so indignant.

"It's not that simple."

"Gino, have you ever done something that I couldn't?"

"You guy..."

"Don't make such a scary face! You're kidding!"

"If it were you, you wouldn't like this kind of joke either!"

"No... I'm sorry..."

"You think you can do anything, right?"

"That's not how it works..."

"However, you haven't noticed that you have a major flaw."

"My...flaws?"

"Your sense of humor... is zero."

"...If Gino says that, then I'm really doomed."

"What do you mean by that, hello?"

Color judgment is typically conducted in a specific room, and that room serves that purpose. The psychological state of the person being evaluated is analyzed, and this is often accompanied by relaxing music and projections to create a supportive atmosphere. Generally, green plants are more suitable for projection.

Like light, color also affects a person's physiology and psychology. It not only affects the visual nerves, but also influences the heart, endocrine function, and the activity of the central nervous system.

Some Western psychologists have suggested that common colors such as red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and violet have different physiological effects on people.

Red: Stimulates and excites the nervous system, increases adrenaline secretion, and improves blood circulation.

Orange: Stimulates appetite, aids in recovery, and promotes calcium absorption.

Yellow: can stimulate the nervous and digestive systems.

Green: Beneficial for digestion and body balance, with a calming effect.

Blue: Can lower the pulse and regulate the body's balance.

Indigo: It harmonizes muscles, stops bleeding, and affects sight, hearing, and smell.

Purple: It has a suppressive effect on the motor nerves and cardiovascular system.
