Become a powerful shadow master in the new world

Standing on the street, under the scorching sun, the already scarce passers-by hurriedly walked past Sid, and one or two bumped into Sid's shoulder, but Sid's eyes were only on the glass wall of the store in front of him.

The scene on the entire street was vaguely reflected on this glass wall. Sid's enhanced vision allowed him to clearly see himself in the glass wall, as well as... the blonde nun who was hiding behind the wall and secretly peeking her head out.

Turning her head, in Sid's sight, the blonde nun retracted her head again in that brief moment.

Originally he was just going to Mitsukoshi Hospital and asked Gama's men to help him make an alibi to cover up his sudden disappearance. But Sid thought that he had already taken a leave and there was no point in going back to school, so he just wandered around the streets.

At first he didn't notice the blonde nun behind him. After all... he was too weak and couldn't feel the other person's gaze at all.

Even if he saw her, he would have thought she was following someone else until he saw her appear behind him through the reflection of the glass for the third time.

Only then did Sid realize that he, an ordinary extra, was being followed.

???

Why?Why?Why?

Sid thought his disguise as a minor role was good enough, so why would someone follow him? What was wrong with him?

Sighing, Sid suppressed his sadness and anger and began to think calmly about countermeasures.

There's no point in thinking about what went wrong now. I should first think of a way to get over this.

He now had two choices: one, get rid of the blonde nun, and two, pull her into an alley where there was no surveillance.

Sid's mouth curled up.

Isn’t the answer obvious?

When the blonde nun cautiously stuck her head out again and looked at the place where Sid had originally stood, she found that he had disappeared from the spot, and she couldn't help but make a puzzled sound.

"Eh?"

After looking around to make sure that there was no sign of Sid, the blond nun walked out from behind the wall and trotted towards the direction where Sid was standing just now.

"call!"

A big hand suddenly stretched out from the alley next to it and grabbed the corner of the blonde nun's clothes.

"Ahhh!"

This sudden change frightened the blonde nun so much that she let out a scream and for a moment she even forgot to resist.

By the time the blonde nun reacted, she had been pulled into the alley by the huge force from the hand, and her body was thrown against the wall.

"bump!"

A hand slapped the wall, making a noise that startled the blonde nun again.

"Tell me, who are you? Why are you following me?"

With cold eyes, Sid questioned the blonde nun in front of him in a cold voice. He would decide how to deal with her based on her answer.

If it was because he had revealed some flaws on the street just now and the woman in front of him discovered it and decided to follow him on a whim, then it would be easier to deal with. Just delete the memory directly. Deleting one day's memory would not cause too much impact.

But if his shadow identity was discovered by some force, he could only pray that force would be easy to talk to and willingly let him delete their memories, otherwise...

The magic power in his body surged silently, a cold light flashed in Sid's eyes, and the atmosphere around him suddenly became gloomy.

The only thing we can do is let the other person voluntarily suffer a mental breakdown and then have his memory deleted.

As for whether the other party would tell him or not, this was not within Sid's consideration. If the other party didn't tell him, the worst that could happen was that he would be forced to search his memory.

"Hey hey hey..."

Feeling the sudden heavy atmosphere around her, the blonde nun let out a scream, as if someone had pulled open her clothes and thrown an ice cube inside in the middle of winter.

Sid remained motionless, staying exactly as he was, watching the scene coldly. If possible, he still didn't want to conduct a memory search. With his mental strength, if he touched someone's memory, that person's spirit would collapse.

"I, I, I..."

Maybe dozens of seconds passed, maybe a few minutes, or maybe just a few seconds, the blonde nun finally came to her senses and spoke haltingly.

"My name is Asia Agito, and the reason I'm following you is..."

"What is it?"

"I want to know if you are Mr. Shadow!"

The worst answer is that you can only pray that you will voluntarily have your memory erased.

In the increasingly heavy atmosphere, Sid looked down at Asia who closed her eyes in fear, sighed silently in his heart, and was ready to force her to erase her memory.

As for why you don’t deny that you are not Shadow?

Ok……

This behavior is no different from an ostrich burying its head in the sand when in danger. The other party already knows his true identity at a glance, and he would never do such a stupid thing as covering his ears and stealing the bell.

"If I am Shadow, what do you want to do? Use me? Tell me, who told you my true identity? The Lion King Agency? What is your conspiracy?"

In just a few seconds, Sid had already selected a suspect in his mind, which was the force that sent Himeragi Setsuna to Akatsuki Kojou - the Lion King Agency.

When Akatsuki Kojo was fighting against Rudolph, he heard this name several times from Rudolph and another magician, so he wrote it down.

After all, he felt it was a bit weird that a force could send a teenage girl who could reach A-level strength to other people. Was this really the "Magical Disaster Management Bureau" mentioned by Himeragi Setsuna, and not some human trafficking organization?

And now, he began to suspect that this force was targeting him after targeting Akatsuki Kojo.

It's no wonder he was suspicious, because the scene looked too familiar. The blonde girl looked almost the same as Himeragi Setsuna when they first met. She knew his true identity even though they had no contact at all and dared to follow him.

Although it is a bit strange that a nun instead of a shrine maiden or a ninja came out of an island country's agency, who knows if this so-called "Lion King Agency" is really that weird?

They also had a motive to discover his true identity. As for the incident with Himeragi Setsuna, it could basically be said that he was the one who destroyed the plan of their Lion King Agency. Although they had some backup plans, it seemed reasonable to investigate him. This was not difficult for them as a local force.

As they investigated, they discovered a flaw that he had revealed at some point in the past, and found out that he was Shadow, so they thought of replicating their actions on Akatsuki Kojo, and the timing also matched. The more they thought about it, the more they felt that it was the Lion King Agency that sent this blonde nun to follow him.

"no no……"

Just when Sid was about to put the blame on the Lion King machine, Asia, who was pressed against the wall by him, seemed to have heard something unacceptable. Her expression suddenly became agitated, tears welled up in the corners of her eyes, and she spoke in a high-pitched voice.

"I am here to find Mr. Shadow to repay my gratitude. How could I possibly use my savior?"

"the world!"

"suck!!!!"

Sid took two steps back and took a breath of fear because of what Asia just said. He looked at Asia once, twice, and three times, and stayed in the world where time stopped for a long time before speaking.

"Who are you!"

Chapter 69: Pure Asia

In the quiet alley, Sid paced back and forth in front of a motionless girl wearing a nun's uniform with long blond hair, stopping from time to time to look at the frozen expression on the girl's face.

Maybe more than ten minutes, maybe a few hours, maybe just a few seconds, who knows? In a world where time stands still, time has long lost its meaning.

Anyway, after a silence that seemed long to Sid, Sid let out a long sigh with an expression that showed he had done his best.

"I really can't remember who you are. Never mind. It doesn't matter. Let's think about how to deal with this first."

The magic power seeped out from Sid's body, making Sid sit in the empty seat in front of Asia. For the first time, he looked at the blonde nun named Asia from a male perspective, who claimed to be looking for him to repay her kindness.

She had long, smooth, beautiful golden hair that seemed to sparkle in the faint sunlight even in this dim alley; she had a pair of eyes as deep and beautiful as emeralds; and her face was delicate and fit her petite figure.

Well... even judging by Sid's aesthetic standards, which have been raised by his sister and seven childhood sweethearts since he was a child, she is still a standard beautiful girl.

The only drawback is probably the opponent's slime, which cannot be said to be non-existent but can only be said to be promising in the future.

Of course, these are not important. The point is that Sid has been thinking about it for so long but still can't figure out what she meant by repaying a favor and savior.

For someone like him who goes out to hunt in the wild from time to time and who used to compete with the bandit-suppression forces of the three worlds for work, you said he thought it was normal that he saved some people.

The main problem is... he didn't use the identity of Shadow to fight bandits. He always used the image of a mysterious bandit-fighting expert to fight bandits. He never used the identity of Shadow to fight bandits.

After all, the person with the strength of the shadow who went to steal the thieves' money was extremely inferior. How could he do such a thing of destroying the Great Wall and putting the cart before the horse?

Therefore, more than half a year ago, he had been acting in the image of a mysterious bandit-suppressing expert, until a few months later, when there were basically only some thieves left who could not be squeezed out of their thieves and might explain themselves at any time.

He retired from the underworld and became Shadow again. The mysterious bandit-suppressing master was destined to remain only a legend.

After transforming into Shadow again, he had the impression that basically all the people he saved were the core employees of Mitsukoshi Corporation, that is, the actors hired by Gamma, but he never saved anyone else, so what exactly was the savior that Asia mentioned?

Is Asia lying?

Not like.

It's not because the other person is a beautiful girl, and he is not the kind of person who would blindly believe someone just because they are pretty. It's simply because... he doesn't think the innocence in his eyes is comparable to Delta's. People would lie.

By the way, Delta should be considered the dog he raised. Its IQ is higher than that of Husky... probably.

Since Asia wasn't lying, then he remembered it wrong?

It doesn't look like either.

So what is the answer?

He didn't know that he had great confidence in his memory and in the character of the simple Aisi, who made him feel that she had the same intelligence as Delta at a glance...

Most people might just keep arguing, but he has no other advantages except a good attitude. So he might as well treat this as an accident and let the blonde nun named Asia in front of him believe that Shadow saved her life.

Look, this problem is solved in one fell swoop, isn’t it?

The next step is to find out from Asia how she discovered his true identity and when in her memory "Shadow" saved her, and then give her a memory eraser.

If you want to think of a reason to fool me... hmm!

Wait a minute, you are only thinking about getting rid of the crisis of exposing your identity as a supporting role. How can you be called a powerful shadow master with such vulgar thoughts? It is such a good opportunity. Wouldn’t it be a pity if you don’t take advantage of it to gain some achievements as a powerful shadow master?

Floating in the air, Sid, who was rubbing his chin with his right thumb and index finger, shuddered, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he looked at Asia who was standing still with a sly grin.

What is his identity in Asia's eyes now?

shadow?

No.

Sid?

No.

what is that?

It's Shadow disguised as an ordinary student.

Oh oh oh!!!

Asia is different from Alpha and the others. She doesn't think he is a chuunibyou with a hole in his brain. Instead, she thinks he is a powerful shadow man, a mysterious strong man who will descend from the sky at the critical moment to change the outcome.

This really touched him. You know, in a good story, if there is no one or two characters who know the true identity of the Shadow Powerful Person, or at least give some clue to the true identity, big points will be deducted.

Look at how much effort he put into shaping this character who knows Shadow's true identity.

Shadow Gardens and Netheril were the fruits of his efforts, but the result...

Less than three years later in Shadow Garden, his tricks were exposed by Alpha and the others. Although they did not expose him directly for the sake of repaying their gratitude, they used a more euphemistic statement.

It's not that we can't continue to ask them to help with acting, but fake is fake after all, and no matter how pure it is, it can never reach 100%.

Netheril's identity was not exposed, but his account was ruined.

It's so funny. How can the "Emperor of Netheril" be considered a powerful shadow master? I will use this account as a cushion for the Shadow someday.

There is no such thing as a third time. After experiencing the previous two failures and learning enough experience, he believed that he would be able to succeed in fooling Asia this time.

Even if the trick was successful, Asia would still have her memory deleted after he got the information out of her, but it didn't matter. She could just use it as a one-time prop and take this opportunity to gain achievements.

In short, he wants Asia to have her memory erased to avoid exposing her identity as the Master of Shadows, and he also wants her to achieve the status of the Master of Shadows.

He wants both of them.

Having made up his mind, Sid quickly finalized a script for the Shadow Power Master in his mind, then dropped from the air to the ground, with one hand passing by Asia's side and touching the wall, maintaining his wall-dong posture before time stopped.

If Asia wasn't so agitated and seemed angry, this scene would definitely be a perfect match.

After getting into position, a stream of magic energy shot out from Sid's body and flew towards the entrance they had entered from at the beginning, and finally formed a magic circle on the wall at the entrance of the alley and disappeared.

Time began to flow again.

"Hmph, interesting. If it were any other time, I'd be a little interested in listening to your explanation. Unfortunately, I'm not interested now. I'd better just search your memory and then delete it."

"Eh!"

After hearing Sid's words, Asia, who had just finally mustered up a little courage, was stunned, especially when she saw Sid's hand slowly approaching her head. She realized that Sid was not joking, and Asia panicked.

Subconsciously, I wanted to run, but when I thought that my life was saved by the person in front of me, I gritted my teeth, suppressed the fear in my heart, closed my eyes and waited for my memory to be deleted.
