Chapter 42 Extraordinary Expansion
click,

The policewoman, speeding along, pressed a button, and the empty magazine slid out.

Before the magazine even hit the ground, Fujiko had already inserted the new magazine into the weapon, her pupils rapidly scanning the buildings ahead:
Third from the left, second from the right.

boom!boom!boom!boom!boom!
Amidst the continuous sounds, what was clearly just a pistol was fired with the force of a submachine gun.

Moreover, this was not random shooting: as five targets protruding from behind the building were pierced, the policewoman rushed forward at high speed, pushed off with her feet, stretched out like a cat, leaped two meters into the air, and grabbed the second-floor windowsill with a thud.

brush,

With a single pull, he nimbly flipped upstairs.

This incredible speed and efficiency drew admiration from the experts and high-ranking officials in the command center.

"The nerve reflex time is approximately 0.05 seconds,"

"Empty magazine in one second, five hits, one miss."

"Gentlemen, our Super Soldier Project has finally succeeded!"

"With so many years of technological development, it's impossible that we can't even replicate something 'extraordinary'."

The high-ranking officials in the command center were all beaming. This 'super soldier's' speed, strength, and reaction all exceeded human limits. He could sweep most of the gold medals at the Olympics. With weapons in hand, he could completely do what is shown in the 'movies' and be invincible among the bandits.

But, that's all.

"Everyone, I must remind you."

Professor Ohsumi, with his white beard, stepped forward to pour cold water on everyone's enthusiasm.

"We can only grant people 'demonic power,' but we cannot use various 'demonic arts.'"

This is only natural.
Their research actually only gave people magical powers, but not even enough to reach the level of a genin.

To perform ninjutsu, one needs to practice hand seals hundreds or thousands of times: Akihi Yu is actually a Daidoki, so he naturally doesn't need such an 'outdated' method as hand seals. The same applies to the beings he has bestowed abilities upon.

They are all the kind of beings that 'come to life whatever you call for'.

"It's alright, having demonic power and extraordinary power is enough."

Director Takeya's face lit up with joy. Faced with those extraordinary beings that were either elusive, incredibly fast, or enormous in size, the Metropolitan Police Department and even the Self-Defense Forces seemed quite weak.

Most importantly,
There is simply no equal power!
And now, having finally achieved a breakthrough from zero, the significance is immense—

boom!
The door to the command room was suddenly pushed open and slammed against the wall, making everyone tremble.

? !
Officials and experts alike turned to look.

A figure dressed in simple surgical scrubs, exuding a fierce and menacing aura, strode closer.

As she stepped into the control room, it felt as if a tiger's fangs were scraping across her face.

"Yihua,"

Director Zhu Ya pushed up her non-prescription glasses and spoke.

"How does it feel?"

"Ah~~"

He exhaled a cloud of hot steam, and the now much larger-looking Iori Kazuka clenched his fist.

"great!"

With veins throbbing on her forehead and muscles twitching all over her body, Iori Kazuka, who looked like some kind of bio-engineered human, revealed a satisfied expression.

"I feel like I could kill a bear with one punch right now!"

Faced with the arrogant female section chief, the high-ranking officials and experts present couldn't help but take a slight step back.

"Congratulations on becoming a super soldier! And—"

Director Zhu Ya sighed.

"Take off that murderous aura."

"Looking at you like that, are you some kind of experimental subject going berserk, preparing to turn on the researchers?"

"Ha, Director."

The female section chief, her muscles twitching all over.

His ferocious face wore the same smug, begging-to-be-beaten smile he always wore.

"It's as if it was so difficult for me to kill you all before."

This inability to read the room—it's definitely the same old Iori Ichika.

"Speak, what are you doing here?"

Director Zhu Ya has given up on discussing etiquette with her capable assistant.

"You didn't come here just to show off your strength."

"Of course not,"

The veins on his forehead throbbed.
Despite appearing ready to strike at any moment, Iori Kazuka is actually quite clear-headed.

"Director, it's time we tried to tame that Shiba Inu."

---

"Gululu~~"

In another room of the underground base, a Shiba Inu lay on the lap of a female pet trainer, its short legs flailing, its eyes squinting shut.

The pet trainers all looked bitter, having recently experienced firsthand what it means to "live with a dog like living with a tiger."

This Shiba Inu is a monster, no, it should be called a 'supernatural being'.

More ferocious than a tiger!
Especially their intelligence. They can read people's expressions, do addition and subtraction within ten, and deliberately throw tantrums to avoid cooperating with experiments. If they weren't unable to speak, they would be almost like naughty kindergarten children.

However, kindergarten children do not possess its terrifying power to overpower lions and tigers.

This led to the dog giving these groomers a hard time!
Being bossed around and even looked down upon by dogs.
Is there any justice left in this world?

Bang! !

The door was suddenly and forcefully pushed open.

The loud noise startled everyone, and the Shiba Inu on the female pet trainer's lap immediately rolled over and sat up.

"Wang?"

The Shiba Inu, having rolled over and gotten up, let out a puzzled sound.

The female biped that strode in recognized it; she often came to its den and carried a dangerous scent emanating from the iron box at her waist.

But now, the other party isn't carrying a dangerous metal box; yet it gives the Shiba Inu an even greater sense of danger!
It's like facing your master!

The other party's aura was very similar to that of the master who gave it power, but it was much weaker.

"You guys, get out."

He tilted his head, signaling the pet trainer and pet nutritionist in the room to leave.

Iori Kazuka shook her head, her neck bones creaking repeatedly.

"puppy,"

"Enjoy your time, then come help us with some tasks!"

As she stepped forward, Iori Kazuka grinned, revealing a ferocious 'smile'.

"But before that, you should first recognize your place." "Woof?!"

Under the Shiba Inu's surprised gaze,
The other party charged forward and kicked it with a flying kick!

The battle begins.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

"Inspector Fujii, here's your towel."

After testing various weapons, Fujisawa Seiko walked out of the testing ground and saw:
"Commander, Iori?"

"Haha, were you surprised to see me become extraordinary?"

Yizhi Yihua, dressed in tattered clothes, strode over and grabbed Fuji Seiko's shoulder.

At her feet was a Shiba Inu that was limping.

After being brutally beaten by Iori Kazuka, this arrogant Shiba Inu once again realized that it was a dog.

This two-legged creature is terrifying!
A dog has no choice but to submit when threatened.
In fact, if we only consider the magical power within its body, this Shiba Inu is stronger than Iori Ichika.

However, their combat experience and fighting spirit were completely different. Not long after the fight started, the Shiba Inu proactively showed its belly and admitted defeat.

Having gained extraordinary power and 'subdued' the Shiba Inu, Iori Kazuka, eager for the next move, is ready to fight again.

"It's time to close the 'Collar Project'!"

If he puts on one more act, Tanimura Watari will be trapped.

"Huh? What plan?"

"It's nothing, just follow me."

He raised his hand to beckon to Fuji Seiko, but she hesitated for a moment.

"Sir, about my junior colleague..."

"This one~~"

After thinking for a moment, Iori Kazuka changed direction.

"Come with me, let's go find Director Zhuya."

"Please ask 'Divine Child' to heal me?"

In another command room, after listening to Fujiko's request, Director Takeya waved to his secretary.

"Is that person available at any time?"

The secretary opened her notebook, glanced through it, hesitated for a moment, and then answered.

"It will be available tomorrow,"

?

"That's right, because the Prime Minister's residence cancelled the quota for Americans, therefore..."

Because of a certain lieutenant colonel, the island nation's government is using the excuse that 'Mikamiko' doesn't want to meet with the Americans to cancel the queue of those powerful figures: this time, if the Americans don't give up some benefits, they definitely won't budge!

Don't assume that just because an island nation is America's dog, it will obey your every command.

During the 1980s, at the height of its economic power, the island nation bought America's iconic Empire State Building, Rockefeller Center, Van Gogh's paintings, and Warner Bros. At that time, the island nation even published a famous book: "The Island Nation Can Say No."

In the eyes of islanders,

They can buy everything with money.

In all areas, including the economy and diplomacy, it seeks to enhance America's autonomy and even, in turn, manipulate it.

And then...
The financial bubble burst, and ambitions vanished.

But given the chance, the island nation will never give up the possibility of retaliating!
Now, backed by the extraordinary, they have the confidence to negotiate with America again.

"Make arrangements,"

As the head of the "Extraordinary" high-ranking official team, Director Zhu Ya has this much power; moreover, she also needs to win over the two newly recruited "Extraordinary" subordinates.

"Make room for one treatment."

“Kawai Mai! My junior’s name is Kawai Mai.”

An excited Fujiko quickly took over the conversation, while giving a deep bow.

"Thank you, Director!"

"You're welcome, you deserve it."

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

"Ok?"

the next day,
The leisurely autumn day after waking up
Another source of magical power was sensed.

"The island nation's government is something else; they've got two extraordinary individuals so quickly."

However, this amount
After closing his eyes and sensing it, Akihi Yu shook his head slightly at the fact that the magic power was even weaker than that of a genin.

Having magical power only improves one's melee combat ability: even someone like Rock Lee has the "Eight Gates" technique, which is a commoner's advantage.

Without any ninjutsu to use, he's just a 'super soldier' ​​and nothing to be afraid of.

Thinking this, Qiu Riyou stepped out of her house, preparing to go to:

Go grocery shopping!

With Akihi Yu's current strength, sleeping is no longer a necessity.

In the world of fire, ninjas often engage in fierce battles that last for days and nights. They don't have that much time to sleep. They'll simply sleep forever after they die!

So he gets up very early, and even has time to buy groceries and make breakfast and lunch boxes: if he doesn't prepare them, Qiu Riqiong will just eat snacks for lunch.

That won't do; it would be nutritionally unbalanced.

"Hmm~"

Arriving at a nearby supermarket, Qiu Riyou stopped in front of a water tank.

"Boss, give me one."

"No need to do anything,"

He pointed to the water tank.
The shop owner walked over, scooped up a live octopus, put it in a plastic bag, and handed it to me.

Squid, shrimp, and horse mackerel are all common items in supermarkets. But in Qiu Riyou's bag was just an ordinary octopus.

After buying some other vegetables and meat, Qiu Riyou didn't go home after leaving the supermarket. Instead, she went to a nearby stream and picked up the plastic bag in her hand.

“Little guy,”

"You are free—"

He casually flipped the plastic bag over.
The octopus then fell into the river with a splash.

It also comes with a genin's power and the 'Multiply Technique'.

Every gift of fate comes with a hidden price. Go forth~~

As Akihi Yu turned to leave, she prepared to go home and cook; while the bewildered octopus, following the commands in its mind, swam along the river towards Tokyo Bay.
