3. The powerless Black King
Third chapter.
This has overtaken my 1st work! Hooray!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
21 years ago, the Wall is built on every important point around the world. Humans abandon the places without the Wall, and shut themselves behind the Wall.
And the one who assisted on building the Wall was a SSS ranked superpower user.
It's unknown whether the person is a guy or a girl. The only information known was the [Absolutization] ability which makes the target [Absolute].
That's why, that person set the Wall with [The Wall will never be destroyed, and the Unknowns can neither invade the city from the top and bottom nor causing any harm]
Hence, the only route which the Unknowns can use to get through the Wall is by using the gate that humans use. So far, countless wyverns tried to attack the Wall, but all of those attacks are blocked by something, and the wyverns will be stunned for a period of time in the sky. During that time, the superpower users will fire long distance attacks to subjugate the wyverns.
In addition, the Unknowns that climb the Wall and the Unknowns that treat the top of the Wall as its habitat, can neither get past the Wall nor causing harm. As a result, all of them were subjugated.
In other words, the Wall that surrounds the city became the absolute defense wall that won't let any Unknown get past it.
--However, the Unknowns are not stupid.
<<Warning! Warning! A warp hole is opening!>>
Iwato and Kota opened their eyes wide because of the warning.
[Warp hole!? Why in a place like this--]
[Who cares! We need to get away from here!]
Although Kota who was about to stood still, he regained his consciousness by Iwato's voice. They started to run towards an area where the warning can't be heard.
Warp hole.
According to the official announcement by the government, there's not much details whether it is an Unknown's ability or technique but it is a way to send Unknowns into the Wall.
The warp hole is boasted of its nuisance because it ignores the Wall completely and invade the city. And the most troublesome part of it is that there's no way to know how strong is the Unknowns sent into the city.
If you are lucky, it will be a few Monster class. If you are unlucky, it will be a Divine Beast class.
The word "Warp Hole" perfectly suits such description, but at any rate, the current Kota will die if he meets with a few Monster class. For that reason, Iwato takes Kota to run away from there but--
[The Special Forces still haven't come?]
Iwato runs while thinking.
It's certain that the warp hole is opening here.
The sign of the warp hole appearance is quite direct, so it's unlikely to be a mistake.
That's why, the anti-Unknown force, Superpower Special Military Forces--aka Special Forces, will definitely be dispatched to that place.
Iwato looks around the surroundings.
Here is the residential area. As expected, there are many residents living around this area, and they started to evacuate all at once after hearing the warning.
Originally, that may be the right choice, but in this case, the number of residents is too much.
To be precise, it might be better to say that this place is bad because the Special Forces probably will not be able to reach the destination due to the crowd of people here.
[H-Hey, Iwato! Why did you stop? We need to run!]
Kota's voice resounds and Iwato realized that he stop before he knew it.
What caught his eyes were the people trying to escape desperately and the cross intersection where people's presences disappearing gradually.
He can see that an old man with bad legs just come out from the building. Whether they are elementary school students or not, small boys and girls are bewildered probably due to their first time hearing the warning.
They probably will--die if nothing changes.
And above all.....
Iwato lightly grasps his right hand and releases it.
He repeated the action a few times and exhaled. He then face Kota with a smile and said
[Well, I lost my shampoo somewhere, so I will go find it and return]
The shampoo that was in the plastic bag held with his hand, was missing before he knew it.
☆☆☆
[Wh-What are you saying in such a time!? Now's not the time for that!]
Kota guessed what Iwato was saying.
For sure, he will use an excuse like going to find the shampoo, to buy some time until the Special Forces arrive.--If things go well, he thought that he might be able to defeat the Unknowns.
Kota certainly knew the major incident caused by Iwato during the first day of school.
It was really surprising at first that there's a black hair, in other words, one without powers. In other words, a weakling who can't use superpowers.
That's why, those who had complex on their superpower, those who don't like Iwato, and those who simply had an bad character bullied Iwato in a group. The teachers somehow gave up in stopping them.
The opponent is a more than 100 people of all class years. Against these people is just a black curly hair glassed guy.
Of course, the result is obvious.
--But
[Well, all of you are good at acting]
Iwato sink his fist into everyone's stomach and nobody managed to use their superpower. The situation was overturned.
As a result, everyone opened their eyes wide thought that [This guy definitely have a superpower] and they asked the teachers about it. But the teachers shook their heads and even if they ask the person himself about his past and his status, he dodged the question by answering [Well, what do you plan to do after seeing the status of a person without powers?]
Of course, those who were beaten were hospitalized urgently and the doctor said [Landing blows to the solar plexus accurately causing them to have difficulty in breathing]
There's no way to make an excuse anymore.
That's why, Kota knows that Iwato is strong and his Battle Rank is also high--but.
[You are strong! But you don't have powers! You are powerless! No matter how strong you are, without weapons! Without superpowers, you can't win against the Unknowns! You should know this very well!]
Superpowers are effective to defeat the Unknowns. Attacks other than that don't have any effect on them.
Even Kota knows about such thing which is the common sense, the world's universal rule.
That's why, Kota is trying to stop Iwato desperately but--
[Well, what are you saying? I am just going to find the shampoo. While I am at it, I will help the children and the old man to evacuate]
[...Ha?]
Iwato said so and starts walking.
Kota didn't know that--Iwato is a shampoo maniac.
Although his objective is also to rescue those who fall behind, the first priority is to find the shampoo.
If there's a child who is about to be killed and a shampoo that is about to be killed, he would pick to save the shampoo for sure. If there's a child who is about to be killed and a shampoo lying down on the floor peacefully, he would shout [The shampoo's flavor will drop if I see a child killed in front of me!] and save the child at once. Then, he will go and pick up the shampoo quickly. He's totally a shampoo complex guy. He's already an oddball that went beyond pervert.
Well, it's simply [Because I lost the shampoo, I will go and find it. While I am at it, I will hasten the evacuation].
But still, what Kota said is right. In order to fight against the Unknowns with bare hands, the superpowers such as [Body Enhancement · Strong] and etc. are essential.
And yet, Iwato who has no powers head towards the place where the Unknowns will appear.
Either he is a pervert or he is a hidden hero--well, he is just a pervert. There's no need to argue on this topic anymore.
[...Good grief. Looks like I got acquainted to a weird guy]
When Kota looks at the back of Iwato who starts walking without hesitation, he decided to gave up on various things while scratching his head and chased after him.
☆☆☆
After that, Iwato and Kota informed the old man and the elementary school students about the present conditions and the evacuation path while running back to where they were before.
[Hmm, I can't seem to find it, my Shampoo-chan]
[...This is my first time hearing a person attaching "-chan" to a shampoo]
