Chapter 326: Will Those Who Are Unwilling Be Beaten?

The Ultimate Pursuer and the Metropolitan Police Department's black car arrived at the Knight Academy at almost the same time.

When approaching the college building surrounded by black walls and pillars, Xun Ichijo had already seen a black motorcycle speeding towards him in the rearview mirror.

The latter seemed to have anticipated it, and raised his hand to greet him when his gaze passed by.

Seeing this, Kaoru Ichijo smiled knowingly.

Kana Okamura, who was sitting in the back seat, noticed his emotions and looked out the window with a sense of something: "Is that Mr. Kawahara?"

The next moment, a motorcycle drove up from behind and ran parallel to the car.

Kana Okamura quickly rolled down the car window in surprise.

"Mr. Kawahara!"

"Well, long time no see~"

After leaving the city and arriving at a suburban road, Kawahara's motorcycle helmet disappeared again.

His shoulder-length hair was tied behind his head with a hairband he had just picked up from Hikaru Enoda's office. His brows were slightly narrowed by the strong wind from the high-speed driving. He smiled and waved at the two people who were looking at him in the car.

Then the Ultimate Pursuer accelerated and overtook!

After the black motorcycle passed the car, it drew a curved path and turned into the Knight Academy with its gates open.

Xun Ichijo, who was about to say hello, looked at him with amusement as he walked away. After the car drove in closely behind him, he just happened to see Kawahara turning the Ultimate Chaser into a card and putting it away.

After getting off the car, Okamura Kana hurriedly ran over with joy, "Mr. Kawahara, when did you come back? Why didn't you tell me at all!"

Apparently after getting Kawahara's instructions, Sayaka really did not inform Kana Okamura at the Metropolitan Police Department.

Kawahara chuckled and said, "I came back this morning, and I heard from Kosa Ayaka that you were busy with yesterday's affairs, so I didn't let her disturb you."

Hearing this, Okamura Kana paused for a moment: "What happened yesterday..."

She felt a little apologetic. After all, the Knight Academy was now under her charge, but something like what happened yesterday happened during the time when Kawahara was away.

In fact, there are people in the existing "Agito" who are more qualified than her, especially those in the Rising Sun. Both Kaoru Kino and Katsuhiko Sagara are more mature than her. If they were to do it, they would definitely be better than her.

Thinking of this, Okamura Kana felt more and more guilty and wanted to resign, but Kawahara said it for her.

"What's wrong? You don't think it's troublesome to take care of these children and have to bear all kinds of blame, so you want to find an excuse to quickly shirk it?" Kawahara said in surprise.

"..."

Okamura Kana looked sullen: "..."

The remarks made by Mr. Kawahara, whom I haven't seen for a long time, are still hard to describe and refute.

After parking the car, Xun Ichijo came over and said with a smile: "Kawahara, did you gather other people when you came back this time?"

There were two dark blue motorcycles in the open parking lot, they were Ashihara Ryo's Gills Raider and Kino Kaoru's Dark Locust.

As far as Kaoru Ichijo knows, although Awihara Ryo still comes to the Knight Academy from time to time, Kino Kaoru's whereabouts are really erratic, like a dragon that can't be seen from head to tail.

Suddenly these two people are here, not only because of Kawahara, but also because of what happened yesterday.

Kawahara nodded: "You all already know about the mirror world. In addition to the unknown life forms, there are now more monsters eyeing this world."

Ichijo Kaoru thought for a moment and said, "Well, the current [Unknown Lifeform Countermeasures Team] is actually responsible for investigating these things. With the help provided by the Science and Police Research Institute, the G3 team has also been expanded, but we are basically unable to directly fight those mirror monsters."

Because the mirror monster would either secretly use some means to capture humans, or it would be killed to pieces not long after it came out.

This has resulted in the countermeasures team being of little use up to this point.

Although the intelligence has been investigated almost completely and everyone knows that the monster escaped from something that can reflect light, it is basically impossible to eliminate all mirrors in the world.

Suddenly, there was a feeling of helplessness. Humans were like meat on a chopping board, to be harvested by those mirror monsters.

Kawahara turned around and walked towards the academy, saying, "So that's why I asked you to come here."

Ichijo Xun was slightly stunned when he heard this.

He looked at Kawahara's back, lowered his eyes and thought about the previous conversation with Hikaru Enoda, sighed, and followed him. Seeing this, Kana Okamura next to him hurriedly followed behind.

……

Although today is a working day, because of what happened yesterday, Kana Okamura gave the Knight Academy a day off.

The original intention was to let everyone relax their tense mood.

Now, from the noise of the children playing, I can tell that everyone is indeed very relaxed.

In addition to the thirteen super-powered children originally in the research institute, the Knight Academy has added a lot of people who have awakened the "power of light" this year, and the largest group among them are teenagers and young people.

So when the three of them walked towards the teaching building, they saw a group of students playing and making noises around Gills on the lawn of the playground next to it.

And it's Gills who transcends form.

——Ashihara Ryo.

Two scarlet stingers extended from Gills's back spine. The originally hideous and terrifying means of attack was now being held high up by four children. There were even a few children hanging on his body everywhere.

Joyful laughter came from that side, as if they wanted to verify Gills' strength. A few restless children even deliberately used their super powers to exert strength.

Kawahara stood at the bottom of the teaching building and watched silently.

Okamura Kana walked up and said with a smile: "Although Mr. Ashihara never planned to stay in the academy, he really likes these children. He will come over to play with everyone when he is free on weekends."

Kawahara nodded: "I see..."

After all, surpassing Gills has become a climbing frame for children.

He looked to the other side at this time, and saw a man wearing a suit and sunglasses, with a sharp aura and looking cool, standing on the first-floor platform of the teaching building.

The other person was also looking at Gills who was playing with the child, but when Kawahara looked over, the former's gaze also turned over, and then he raised his hand to take off the sunglasses on his face.

——Kuno Kaoru.

Looking at the people coming over, Kino Kaoru spoke first in a deep voice: "You are so idle! I won't slack off like this and completely waste this powerful power that I have."

He was referring to Awihara Ryo who was not far away.

Kawahara looked at his current state, nodded seriously and said: "Well, it can be seen that you have been working hard."

Kino Kaoru narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the nearby Beyond Gills: "I will become the most powerful Agito!"

He didn't say this out of the blue.

After all, after Ashihara Ryo and Tsugami Shoichi each chose to start a new life and gradually stopped transforming to fight, although Kino Kaoru was still active as an underground doctor, he never stopped for even a moment to train the power of "Agito" when he was not doing any surgery.

His morbid idea at the beginning was to make himself the only Agito in the world.

Later, after being severely beaten and unable to fulfill his long-cherished wish, Kaoru Kino had to change his mindset - to become the most powerful Agito in the world!

Although Kino Fumio had selfish motives, Kawahara was actually quite pleased about it.

Roll! It’s rolled very well!
If these three "Agitos" were to be ranked according to their worst performance, the strongest one, Shoichi Tsugami, would undoubtedly be ranked first.

But no matter how hard that guy tries, his mentality is the strongest.

Thinking of this, Kawahara patted Kino Kaoru's shoulder and said with emotion: "Listen to me, when you feel that your strength has reached a point where it is difficult to make any progress, you can choose to stay with Tsugami Shoichi for a while, and I guarantee that you will evolve again!"

The power of light still has some idealistic elements.

Kino Kaoru looked at him with some doubt, but did not refute anything. He just turned around and said, "I didn't come here because of your call." Kawahara responded, "Oh! It's because of the attack on the academy, right? By the way, do you want to take over? Kana feels that she can't work here anymore, and wants to find the most powerful Agito to replace her."

Kino Kaoru was silent: "..."

Kana Okamura next to him: "... Mr. Kawahara, stop talking, I didn't mean that."

If she didn't make her attitude clear, Okamura Kana was afraid that this man would ask every Agito, including Ashihara Ryo and Tsugami Shoichi who would be asked later.

Kana Okamura, who already had social phobia, was almost blushing with anger.

She shouldn't have shown any sign of retreat just now!

Listening to their conversation, Xun Ichijo couldn't help but raise his hand and put his fist to his lips, and coughed lightly to cover up the sound of his almost laughing.

When a few people were standing downstairs of the teaching building and talking, Gills, who was playing high-flying games with the children on the playground, finally felt something.

He subconsciously turned his head to look over there, only to see Kawahara giving him a gentle and kind smile.

Awihara Ryo: “…”

……

In the conference room of the teaching building.

Although it was a meeting, everyone was very relaxed and casual, not at all like the serious and solemn atmosphere in the Metropolitan Police Department.

Kaoru Kino, who never slacked off, leaned back in his chair with his arms folded, and looked at everyone present with a calm expression.

Ryo Ashihara, who had regained his human posture, sat lazily with his legs spread apart. Although he looked very comfortable, his eyes were wandering around the conference room.

"Ryo, have you ever fought a mirror monster?"

Kawahara held his chin and looked at him with a smile.

Awihara Ryo then turned his gaze over and said, "Is it the monster that came out of the mirror? I think I've come into contact with that thing before."

Kawahara nodded: "So do you think you can beat those monsters?"

"Of course!" Awihara Ryo responded immediately.

"But Gills, it's been a year since you last fought. How strong are you now? You must have improved. I heard that Mr. Kino is training every day." Kawahara looked at him with a smile.

"...That's...of course."

Ashihara Ryo grumbled, glanced at Kino Kaoru and said, "But who is like this guy, thinking about how to prove that he is the strongest all day long, how boring."

Kino Kaoru raised his eyebrows slightly, but just snorted with disdain and looked away.

One of these two people was once a victim and the other was a pursuer. Because of Kawahara's intervention, Ashihara Ryo did not have the opportunity to establish a relationship of trust and respect with Kino Fumio.

Although the two of them were not in direct conflict with each other, Ashihara Ryo really disliked the person.

The youngest Agito at the moment, Koji Mashima, who admires both Kaoru Kino and Ryo Ashihara, is very dedicated to easing the relationship between the two.

Kawahara propped up his head and looked at them back and forth, then looked at Fuuya Manao who was sitting at the end of the conference table with an impatient look on his face.

"Ms. Fuuya, hasn't that guy Shouichi come yet?"

"what……"

Upon hearing this, Fuuya Manayo, who was secretly checking her phone, looked up and said awkwardly, "Shoichi...he just said that there are a lot of customers in the store right now, so we'll be late..."

As she said this, Manao Futani received a look of shock from Koji Mashima with his eyes wide open. She was so ashamed that she almost buried her head under the table.

She is about the same age as Koji Mashima, and they usually practice their superpowers together and study how to cheat in exams.

Fuuya Manao had contacted Tsugami Shoichi in the morning, but the guy first expressed his surprise at Kawahara's return, and then said with embarrassment that he couldn't get away to meet him right now.

It has to be said that Shoichi Tsugami is indeed a talented chef.

Therefore, the restaurant is extremely popular and is on par with the old restaurant PolePole.

As the number one on the Agito worst performance list, Kawahara was not surprised at all by Shoichi Tsugami's absence.

He waved his hand and said, "Then don't wait for him. I'll tell you something now - I want you to fight the mirror monster in the future. Are you willing?"

The topic of fighting came up without warning, leaving everyone present stunned.

The meeting room was silent for a while.

After Kino Xun came to his senses, he was the first to express his opinion with a burning gaze: "Okay! I've wanted to try it for a long time!"

Self-training alone is not enough to evolve into the strongest Agito, not to mention that Kino Kaoru's original idea was to make all people attacked by angels regard him as the only savior!

Mashima Koji immediately said impatiently: "I am willing to do so too! Since I became Agito, I have never fought with you."

There are other people at the conference table who are not "Agito", but those who cannot transform should keep silent for the time being.

Kawahara raised his hand to stop Kaoru Ichijo and Kana Okamura (as if she wasn't one either) who were hesitant to speak.

He just kept his eyes on Awihara Ryo.

Compared to the always-prepared Kaoru Kino, Ryo Ashihara is second on the list of those who are in a bad state. As the only rare evolved Gills at present, he doesn't really like fighting.

and so……

If Ashihara Ryo really planned to never get involved in that kind of battle again, Kawahara would naturally...

Awihara Ryo suddenly looked puzzled and asked, "Why do I feel that if I say I don't want to, you will beat me up?"

Kawahara laughed when he heard this: "Your illusion, if you like your current life, then of course you just want to be happy."

After hearing this, Awihara Ryo looked a little confused.

"Of course I've heard about it. The mirror monsters now threaten the lives of many people, just like Unknown did back then, so..."

Awihara Ryo looked at him: "I can, too."

After he expressed his affirmative attitude, the meeting room, which had originally seemed a bit solemn, seemed to relax - mainly because Koji Mashima breathed a sigh of relief.

Kawahara raised the corner of his lips slightly, then raised his hand towards the wall on one side of the conference room and snapped his fingers.

"Snapped!"

The curtains covering the windows were drawn open, and the clear, transparent glass reflected the figures of everyone in the conference room. Then, amid the slightly puzzled looks of the three Agitos, Kawahara smiled gently and steadily.

"Then go now!"

As soon as he finished speaking, before the three of them could react, a powerful force sucked them directly into the window!

wow——

The curtains were lifted high by the strong energy, and then fell down slowly. In an instant, three people were missing from the scene.

Fengya Manyu's eyes widened in horror.

Because she remembered the scene she saw in the glass in the morning. The countless monster armies swarmed in, and they seemed to be far more terrifying than the angels at the beginning. At least in terms of numbers, they were completely beyond the reach of these three people!
Does this mean that...

Will Xiangyi get the same treatment when he comes over later?
