CHAPTER 86: ICISEI EPISODE 86

Episode 86: 100% spiritual energy erupted!! Instantly killed

『 Teruki Hanazawa seemed to be putting his all into it.

At this moment, his face was twisted, his expression utterly ferocious, and his appearance was so disgusting it made one want to vomit.

Behind Mob, the wall had turned orange-red, as if they were in a furnace, and astonishing heat waves rose from the wall!!!

Bang!!!!

The wall finally couldn’t withstand that terrifying power, and with a crack, it split open.

Mob was once again sent flying by the impact of his own unleashed psychic powers, performing a clean and crisp seven-hundred-and-twenty-degree flip in mid-air,

Plus, a beautiful Thomas flair, before finally slamming into the wall of the adjacent classroom with a thud.

"Ow, that hurt."

Although Mob was unharmed under Teruki Hanazawa ’s full-power psychic attack, he could still feel a slight ache.

Teruki Hanazawa entered the classroom, looked around, and said coldly, "Is this the home economics classroom?"

No sooner had he spoken than the large cabinet beside him opened by itself, and kitchen knives flew out with a whoosh!

Mob witnessed this and couldn’t help but shout, "Kitchen knives are too dangerous; you can’t point them at people!"

Mob’s words only fueled Teruki Hanazawa ’s anger. He furiously manipulated the kitchen knives to point at Mob, warning coldly, "Don’t even think about ordering me!!!"

"You’ll lose your life!!!"

But in reality, Teruki Hanazawa ’s heart wasn’t as heartless as his words suggested.

[ Of course, I don’t really want to hurt you, but this way, you should think about fighting back, right? ]

Immediately after!

Dozens of kitchen knives, enveloped in golden light, turned into streaks of cold light and assailed Mob.

Facing the onslaught of kitchen knives, Mob quickly got up and stood firm, shouting, "Don’t go too far! I told you accidents would happen!!"

In an instant, a blue shield appeared out of thin air in front of Mob.

The kitchen knives hit the shield, one after another, and all bounced back!

One of them, in its rebound trajectory, shot straight towards Teruki Hanazawa.

The speed was absolutely astonishing!!!

Teruki Hanazawa had no time to react at all!!!

A flash of cold light appeared!

Teruki Hanazawa suddenly felt a chill on his head!

Clang!!!

A beam of light flashed.

The kitchen knife suddenly pierced through the wall!

It missed Teruki Hanazawa ’s head by just a hair’s breadth.

However...

Strands of golden hair slowly drifted down...

Mob was stunned, staring intently at Teruki Hanazawa in front of him.

Teruki Hanazawa was equally astonished, staring at the golden strands of hair dancing lightly before his eyes...

This...

This seemed to be his hair?? 』

『 .....』

~Dimensional livestream, Chat Room~

[ Umaru Doma (Himouto): "Just a little bit more, and it wouldn’t have been hair that was shaved off." ]

[ Xingqiu (Genshin Impact): "So, does this count as being backfired by one’s own attack?" ]

[ Saitama (One Punch Man): "Such a pity for that beautiful hair, almost gone." ]

[ Tatsumaki (One Punch Man): "..." ]

[ Fu Xuan (Honkai: Star Rail): "Given what happened, I presume this person won’t keep increasing the intensity of their attacks, right?" ]

[ Fu Xuan (Honkai: Star Rail): "It was just a hair’s breadth from backfiring on himself." ]

[ Qingque (Honkai: Star Rail): "The Diviner is right." ]

[ .....]

『 That kitchen knife just now actually gave Teruki Hanazawa a cool new hairstyle!

All the hair on top of his head was gone, leaving only the sideburns on both sides, stubbornly holding the last line of defense for his hairstyle.

Teruki Hanazawa turned his head and glanced at his reflection in the glass of the door next to him.

"You... did that on purpose, didn’t you?"

Teruki Hanazawa was starting to lose it; after all, his hairstyle was ruined! How could he show his face at school with this hairstyle?!!!

Mob was also panicking!

Something big had happened!!!

Teruki Hanazawa was really angry now!!

He glared at Mob, his eyes clearly showing an intent to kill!

"I’m not done with you!!!"

For boys, a hairstyle is their dignity!!!

Mob’s action was practically throwing Teruki Hanazawa ’s dignity on the ground, stomping on it, and then spitting on it!

"I’ll never forgive you again!!! Even if you apologize, it’s useless, I’ll never forgive you!!!"

Teruki Hanazawa ’s face was distorted with rage.

With that, he tore off his clothes, clutched his tie in his hand, and then used his psychic powers to swing the tie!

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

The tie moved with the wind, stirring up a strong gust of air.

Clang!

With a sharp sound like a sword being unsheathed, that tie actually transformed into a sharp blade shining with golden light!!

Mob’s eyes widened, staring in disbelief at Teruki Hanazawa ’s actions.

But his expression, in Teruki Hanazawa ’s eyes, was unusually dazzling, because in Teruki Hanazawa ’s heart, this was nothing short of blatant mockery!

That’s right!

It was mockery!

"You kid!! You must think I look even more like a defeated general now!!"

Teruki Hanazawa ’s words made Mob tremble suddenly, and he quickly retorted, "No! I didn’t say that!!"

Teruki Hanazawa replied coldly, "But that’s what you’re thinking, isn’t it!"

"No... no! Stop talking!! I understand... I admit... this embarrassing appearance, this reality!!!"

Teruki Hanazawa laughed as he spoke.

"And, regarding your matter, I accept it. What’s your name?"

Mob paused, then replied, "Kageyama... Shigeo Kageyama."

"My name is Teruki Hanazawa !"

Mob nodded, "Hello, nice to meet you..."

Teruki Hanazawa heard this and angrily said, "You’re mistaken! I’m not trying to be your friend, I admit you are my opponent!! In that case, I’ll go all out even more!"

Immediately, he furiously swung his long sword, and streaks of sword light assailed Mob like a violent storm!!

"Alright!! Stop dodging, if you want to end this, defeat me!! Come on, come on!! If you don’t fight back, you’ll only get hurt! Your opponent is me!!!"

At this moment, Teruki Hanazawa was like a teenager full of pent-up anger, pouring all his rage and dissatisfaction into his attacks.

Every streak of sword light, upon hitting Mob’s shield, was completely bounced back.

"I am the protagonist of this world’s story!! Everything revolves around me!! Teruki Hanazawa is the one chosen by God!"

Listening to Teruki Hanazawa talking to himself while swinging his sword, Mob looked confused.

"Why? Why are you so confident?"

Teruki Hanazawa sneered, "What a foolish question, because I have psychic powers! I wield the power to control everything! And you are the first opponent I’ve met. Come on, attack, let’s see whose power is superior!!"

"I won’t!"

As expected, Mob still refused.

Teruki Hanazawa ’s anger flared upon hearing this.

"Why!! I’ve already agreed!"

Mob hesitated slightly; he knew how terrifying his psychic powers were, so he said, "Because I don’t want you to get too badly hurt!"

These words, to the arrogant Teruki Hanazawa, were nothing short of a huge insult!

He was enraged!

He rushed forward recklessly!

And tightly gripped Mob’s throat!

"Use your psychic powers against me!"

Teruki Hanazawa yelled almost maniacally.

But the only response he got was Mob’s repeated refusal.

His heart grew cold.

Looking at Mob, who had fainted from asphyxiation, Teruki Hanazawa turned and left, filled with disappointment.

However...

— [ Mob’s Burst Meter: 100% ] — 』

[ March 7th (Honkai: Star Rail): "It’s at 100%." ]

[ Paimon (Genshin Impact): "The progress bar is full." ]

[ The Herta (Honkai: Star Rail): "It seems his emotions have been rising." ]

[ Shizuka Hiratsuka (Oregairu): "The energy is about to explode, and with Mob’s consciousness already gone, things are going to be troublesome." ]

[ Shizuka Hiratsuka (Oregairu): "Of course, this trouble is for that brat." ]

[ Oyama Mahiro (Onimai): "That guy really needs a good lesson; what he did before was too much." ]

[ Natasha (Honkai: Star Rail): "Naughty children really do need a good lesson." ]

[

Hook (Honkai: Star Rail): "Old... Sister Natasha, Hook is very well-behaved, no need for lessons." ]

[ .....]

『 In the screen... When an invisible progress bar filled up.

A massive psychic power fluctuation suddenly erupted behind him.

Teruki Hanazawa was instantly stunned and quickly turned around!

Only to see Mob, who should have been unconscious, had somehow stood up again.

"What... what is that thing!!"

Teruki Hanazawa ’s eyes widened as a crazed smile gradually appeared on his face.

"Are you finally going to make a move!?"

"That’s more like it! Turns out you’re just someone whose convictions can’t last to the end!"

Before Teruki Hanazawa finished speaking, Mob had already made his move!

Turning into a blur of light and shadow, he lunged straight at Teruki Hanazawa!

"Super Defense!!!"

Teruki Hanazawa activated his psychic powers, erecting a barrier in front of him!

Immediately after...

Bang!

His clothes instantly ripped apart!

A terrifying energy slammed into him!

Boom—!!!

Teruki Hanazawa crashed heavily against the wall, spitting out a mouthful of blood-tinged saliva!

Then, his eyes rolled back, and he collapsed to the ground.

But he still wore that crazed smile: "Kageyama! You finally used your psychic powers!!"

"Didn’t you also attack people!? Turns out you..."

Mid-sentence, Teruki Hanazawa froze, staring at Mob in front of him.

His face was filled with disbelief.

"Is this guy... unconscious?"

"Then what’s with this power!? What’s going on!?"

Just then, Teruki Hanazawa realized with horror!

His own power was being absorbed by Mob, little by little!

Even the energy permeating the air was no exception!!!

The ground began to tremble!!!

The walls began to crack!!!

"Boom—!!!"

A terrifying wave of air suddenly erupted!!!

The entire school building shattered into pieces of stone, carrying Teruki Hanazawa into the sky!

At this moment, Teruki Hanazawa felt a fear he had never experienced before.

He screamed in terror!

He begged in despair!

But Mob couldn’t hear any of it!!!

Boom—!!!!

Straight into the sky!...

Teruki Hanazawa saw the dazzling light in the clouds!

He was stunned!

He suddenly understood!

Compared to Mob, he was truly nothing...

He finally realized the gravity of the situation!

Then...

He fell!

Along with the raindrops from the sky, he crashed back onto the school playground!

He lost...

Lost to the strongest psychic—Mob... 』

[ Umaru Doma (Himouto): "Indeed, this strongest Mob-kun is still more amazing..." ]

[ Miyamizu Mitsuha(Your Name): "Mhm, I think so too." ]

[ Kiana (Honkai: Impact Third): "He was provoked for so long without making a move; perhaps the other party thought he was afraid." ]

[ Theresa (Honkai: Impact Third): "However, making a move while unconscious can be even more terrifying than when conscious." ]

[ Fu Xuan (Honkai: Star Rail): "Precisely, when conscious, one can control their power." ]

[

Fu Xuan (Honkai: Star Rail): "But just like the situation on the screen, when consciousness is lost, one’s own power becomes uncontrollable." ]

[ Xingqiu (Genshin Impact): "I have a feeling that his master restricting him from fighting back might be because he once lost control and hurt others in the past." ]

[ Chongyun (Genshin Impact): "Huh? Why?" ]

[ Xingqiu (Genshin Impact): "Because that’s how it’s written in storybooks; past experiences lead one to adhere to a certain principle later on." ]

[ Paimon (Genshin Impact): "You know what, that makes a lot of sense." ]

[ Yanqing (Honkai: Star Rail): "Since the battle is over, that young friend Hanazawa shouldn’t bother him anymore, right?" ]

[ Jing Yuan (Honkai: Star Rail): "I think these two will continue to be entangled. After all, meeting someone of your own kind is a rare thing." ]

[ Yanqing (Honkai: Star Rail): "This..." ]

[ .....]

『 The scene continued to play...

After the battle...

Mob and Teruki Hanazawa eventually shook hands and made up. Even more miraculously, Mob actually became the "big brother" that Teruki Hanazawa deeply admired.

But good times didn’t last long, as new trouble came knocking.

A mysterious group had somehow captured Mob’s younger brother, who had just discovered his own psychic powers.

That was...

A top-tier organization of psychics, established by psychics!!!

And upon hearing this news.

Mob-kun had already led his "little follower" Teruki Hanazawa,

Charging forward, straight towards the group’s lair!!! 』

『 .....』

~Dimensional livestream, Chat Room~

[ Bang (One Punch Man): "So psychics in that world also formed an organization." ]

[ Tatsumaki (One Punch Man): "An organization that kidnaps people can’t be anything good." ]

[ Sawamura Eriri (Saekano): "Since the older brother’s psychic powers are already so amazing, then the younger brother should also be very strong, right?" ]

[ Utaha Kasumigaoka (Saekano): "Sometimes I think you, little blonde, might have bad hearing. Didn’t you hear that the younger brother just awakened his powers? How could he be strong?" ]

[ Sawamura Eriri (Saekano): "You jerk!! I just didn’t react in time!" ]

[ Rimuru (Tensura): "Are they just going to the enemy’s base like that, without preparing anything?" ]

[ Keqing (Genshin Impact): "But based on the previous situation, with their strength, they might really not need to prepare anything." ]

[ .....]

『 However... Upon reaching the entrance of the organization’s headquarters.

"Wait a minute, there are two big guys at the door, how should we deal with them?" Teruki Hanazawa tilted his head to look at Mob. Since his psychic powers were not as strong as Shigeo Kageyama’s, he now basically deferred to Mob.

At this moment, the surviving Dimple, with his hands on his hips, spoke up, "Shigeo, you need to use your brain too."

"Should we take care of those two?" Teruki Hanazawa asked.

"Deal with those unfamiliar guys," Dimple suggested.

Hearing Dimple and Teruki Hanazawa ’s words, Mob seemed a little nervous and quickly said, "Forget it, let’s not make too much of a fuss. We should... just rescue Ritsu first."

As soon as Mob said this, both the human and the spirit had an "as expected" expression.

Teruki Hanazawa ’s face bloomed with a confident smile, and golden psychic energy radiated from his entire body.

Dimple stared at Teruki Hanazawa with curiosity, exclaiming, "Eh!? What’s that!?"

"This is something I just learned... Air Whip!!!"

In an instant!

Two psychic whips flew out, wrapped around the feet of the two guards, and dragged them into the bushes.

The two guards thought they had encountered ghosts and screamed for their comrades, but the next second, they were knocked out by Teruki Hanazawa, one by one.

"Sorry!"

Suddenly, one of the guards violently sat up, twisting his body like a zombie.

Two bright red dimples appeared on his cheeks.

"People are most easily possessed when they are flustered."

The man said this, but his current appearance was clearly that of Dimple when possessing someone.

Teruki Hanazawa exclaimed, "Wow, your possession technique is pretty good, Dimple. You’re not a very dangerous evil spirit, are you?"

Dimple waved his hand, denying it, "No such thing."

As he spoke, he looked at Mob, seemingly hoping for his approval.

However, Mob said mercilessly, "Dimple is very dangerous, you know."

Alright...

As expected of Shigeo Kageyama, he spoke directly.

Dimple was quite helpless. He actually wanted to possess a psychic, but psychics usually had mental defenses that even evil spirits found difficult to penetrate, let alone an evil spirit whose power had been greatly diminished like him. 』
