Hakuto calmly glanced at Otosaka Yuu beside him. Seeing that he was in deep thought, Hakuto chose not to disturb him.
Clearly, among the people present, everyone except for Hakuto probably hadn't considered Otosaka Yuu's idea of wanting the ability to conquer the entire world.
Although Shunsuke always prioritized the greater good, he was Otosaka Yuu's older brother.
Such a dangerous matter would never be on Shunsuke's mind unless Otosaka Yuu himself proposed it.
Vaccines, after all, were merely meant for prevention. Trying to completely cure those who had awakened their abilities might backfire and put the safety of the ability users at risk.
Moreover, not all ability users would be willing to accept the vaccine. At least, for Hakuto, he was unwilling to accept it.
It wasn't that he was obsessed with the supercomputer; in fact, Hakuto didn't really need the supercomputer's ability anymore.
The supercomputer had already enhanced his body, and now Hakuto could even stop a car with just one hand.
However, just because Hakuto didn't need that ability didn't mean others didn't.
At the very least, Hakuto had to serve as logistical support, just like a sword that may not draw blood but must still be present.
Additionally, getting vaccinated carries risks. Hakuto's abilities were better off waiting for his own disappearance than relying on the vaccine.
As Hakuto pondered, the researcher in the white coat continued speaking.
"We have enough confidence to distribute the vaccine worldwide before the next comet arrives…"
Upon hearing the researcher's words, Otosaka Yuu frowned.
He looked at his blind older brother and then at Hakuto, whose face was tired due to the side effects of the supercomputer. He suddenly felt that he needed to do something.
"Brother, Shiratori…" Otosaka Yuu paused. "I want the ability to conquer the entire world…"
Hakuto showed no significant reaction to Otosaka Yuu's words, as he had already guessed it.
"Yuu, you must understand, there are probably tens of thousands of ability users in the world…"
"I understand, I'm not saying this casually."
"No, you don't understand…" At this point, Hakuto spoke. He felt it was necessary to make Otosaka Yuu aware of the general situation.
"Your brain won't be able to handle so many abilities. It will be overloaded, and you'll act purely on instinct."
"To put it simply, amnesia is the least severe consequence…"
Hakuto shrugged. Looking at Otosaka Yuu's shocked expression, he knew that the latter had never considered this aspect.
Hakuto patted Otosaka Yuu's shoulder and continued.
"Also, you need to know that if your brain becomes overloaded and you lose control, you'll face some serious consequences…"
Just as Hakuto finished speaking, Otosaka Yuu's body trembled, as if he had already imagined the consequences.
But even in his shock, Otosaka Yuu also saw Hakuto's relaxed expression.
"Shiratori, do you have a way to deal with it?"
"Of course. If the day comes when you lose control, I'll do my best to knock you out. At least I'll save your life…"
Seeing Hakuto's confident expression, Otosaka Yuu had no doubt about his ability.
After all, even though Otosaka Yuu had already claimed the abilities of hundreds of people, he believed that as long as Hakuto was willing, he could still defeat him instantly.
"So if you really have the desire to do this, then go ahead. At least… If anything happens, I'll take responsibility."
Hakuto looked at Otosaka Yuu in front of him. Now, he had the qualifications and abilities to say these words.
Upon hearing Hakuto's words, Otosaka Yuu smiled in relief and then his gaze became determined.
"I've made my decision. The ability to conquer the entire world… Society and daily life are still better."
Hakuto admired the determination and conviction of the Otosaka family. They truly embodied the idea that the greater the power, the greater the responsibility.
"Yuu…" Shunsuke took a deep breath, intending to say something but ended up saying, "Go ahead. We're your strongest support."
"Just so you know, if you don't come back, I'll take care of Ayumi from now on," Hakuto jokes.
"You brat! Don't even think about targeting my little sister!"
"Then make sure you come back safely…"
Hakuto genuinely didn't want anything to happen to Otosaka Yuu, as he was one of the few people he truly regarded as a friend.
"Go to school later. If you're going to steal abilities, it's better to start with the people around you."
Hakuto paused. He wanted to see someone later, a girl named Kurobane Misa.
…
Hakuto walked alone down the corridor of Hoshino Umi Academy. Because Otosaka Yuu had stolen the abilities of the students, the school felt quite deserted now.
After all, most of the students only came to this school because of their abilities. Now that they no longer had their powers, those who wanted to leave naturally did.
However, there was one person who was an exception…
Hakuto opened the door to the student council room and saw Nishimori Yusa sitting on the couch.
For certain reasons, this person had not participated in student council work for months.
However, due to the events of yesterday, Yusa had naturally received the notice to return to work at the student council, so it was normal for her to be here.
"Oh~! Good afternoon, President Shiratori!"
Yusa greeted Hakuto energetically.
Although she hadn't been attending student council meetings, she still knew that Hakuto had become the student council president.
So, naturally, her way of addressing him changed.
"Just call me Shiratori-kun. I won't be here for long, I'll be returning to Toyosaki soon."
"I see…"
"So, where's Takajo?"
"Takajo-san received the notice and is still on her way here."
Hakuto looked at Yusa's vibrant energy. He suddenly wondered if this girl knew that her sister was now inside her body.
After all, it wasn't unusual for her to lose control of her body from time to time and then wake up in another scenario.
Though Yusa believed that the reason for these occurrences was her illness, did this naive girl have any inkling of what was happening?
Hakuto shook his head. Perhaps she knew, or maybe she had sensed something? But that didn't matter anymore.
After today, Kurobane Misa would be completely gone from this world.
Hakuto looked at Yusa and asked, "Is Misa here?"
Hearing the name "Misa," Yusa was momentarily confused.
"Huh?"
However, in the next second, Yusa lost control of her body, and Kurobane Misa took over.
