Oda Masako, who had asked Lu Shu for directions, was dumbfounded. Lu Shu sensed that she wanted to attack, but in the end, she did not deliberately complicate the issue. She held it in and walked towards the inside of Kokushikan University.

Oda Masako seemed like a student as well. She was probably around the same age as him.

Under normal circumstances, student Practitioners rarely attacked anyone. They had not killed anyone either. Thus, it made sense for her not to further provoke him.

Among the slaves, there were ambitious people like Nakagawa Masaharu, and ordinary people who had no choice. There was no way to differentiate them from their appearances. Thus, Lu Shu decided to observe.

Oda Masako asked two or three students for directions towards the Faculty of Law and continued walking in. Lu Shu slowly followed her.


Lu Shu was quite sure that Oda Masako was a slave. All the Practitioners and Metahumans in the country had to wear the uniform of the Collection of Gods and register with the Collection of Gods. Oda Masako did not wear the uniform. Clearly, her aim was the Faculty of Law. Before this, Nakagawa senpai had known where the Metahumans were concentrated. If Oda Masako said that she was not a slave, Lu Shu would not believe her.

While Lu Shu was thinking, he suddenly saw Oda Masako turn around.She looked at Lu Shu fiercely. Lu Shu asked curiously,
What’s wrong?


Oda Masako’s expression turned dark.
You have been following me. Don’t you have something to say?


Lu Shu was dumbfounded. Something to say? He paused for two seconds.
How do I go to the Faculty of Law?


Oda Masako was dumbfounded.

Was this on purpose? When Oda Masako had asked Lu Shu for directions, she had been irritated by his response. Now, she was even more irritated when Lu Shu asked her the same thing.


From Oda Masako’s distress, +666!


Oda Masako remembered what had happened. Suddenly, she laughed coldly.
Turn left and walk 100 meters, then turn right. There are a lot of people there, so ask them for directions.


Lu Shu asked curiously,
Do you know how to get there?


Oda Masako laughed coldly.
Of course.



Lu Shu was even more curious.
Then why don’t you tell me?



… you’re right.



From Oda Masako’s distress, +666!


Lu Shu could confirm that although Oda Masako had the same slave owner as Nakagawa Masaharu, they were two very different people.

If Nakagawa Masaharu was in front of him, he would be preparing to kill Lu Shu. Furthermore, Lu Shu was right. Oda Masako did not know how to continue. Her IQ was not of much help…

Suddenly, Oda Masako’s expression turned calm.
Why are you going to the Faculty of Law?


She had sensed that something was not right. Since Lu Shu did not know how to go to the Faculty of Law, he was definitely not a law student. Thus, why was he going there?

When you traveled to a place with an aim and met a suspicious person on the way, you would subconsciously think that they had the same objectives as you.

This was an instinct that most people would have. In reality, Lu Shu had the same objective as her. While Oda Masako was walking, Lu Shu had seen the white mark on her wrist. The space between her sleeve and glove had been exposed while she was walking!

Lu Shu laughed cheerily.
I was joking with you. I know where the Faculty of Law is.




Then why were you following me?
Oda Masako asked in a cold voice.

Lu Shu paused for two seconds. Then, he said,
I want to see whether you are traveling in the right direction…


Oda Masako had never met such a troublesome person in her entire life. She was about to attack Lu Shu, when Lu Shu was suddenly dumbfounded. A girl was walking towards him. She brought back many memories. Chiba Mahiro!

Chiba Mahiro was not particularly good-looking, but she was attractive enough. When Lu Shu acted as Kirihara Yousuke and came here, he was surprised by her deep feelings towards him.

Back then, Lu Shu had frankly admitted that Kirihara Yousuke was dead. He was worried that Chiba Mahiro would sink deeper and deeper.

As his identity as Kirihara Yousuke collapsed, the relationship between Lu Shu and Chiba Mahiro was completely cut off. He thought that he would never see her again in his life, but here she was.

Lu Shu had a lasting impression of Chiba Mahiro, as the massive amounts of money in her attic had shocked him. It was Lu Shu’s first time seeing so much cash. He even made guesses about what her parents did for a living…

But Lu Shu suddenly realized that perhaps Chiba Mahiro was the person the slave owner was looking for. Lu Shu knew that Chiba Mahiro was a fire-type Metahuman. As a sensory type, Lu Shu could sense that Chiba Mahiro’s strength had silently reached Class A!

Lu Shu was shocked. Chen Zuan and the rest had started training much earlier than Chiba Mahiro, but Chen Zuan had put in a lot of effort before advancing to Class A. Cheng Qiuqiao too.

How did Chiba Mahiro advance so quickly?


Furthermore, Chiba Mahiro seemed to be aloof of worldly affairs. Back then, her awakening had been a coincidence. She had awakened when Lu Shu knocked her unconscious.

Her extreme sadness from Kirihara Yousuke’s death had caused her to advance. Lu Shu could understand this, but what came after? What was the following reason?

No wonder the slave owner wanted to find her. Saitou Rin had probably leaked something to her boyfriend. Thus, the slave owner badly wanted to take Chiba Mahiro as his slave.

Sakurai Yaeko was not a good target as there were many people around her. She was very strong as well.

Although Chiba Mahiro was very strong, she did not have much combat experience. She probably had not even killed fish or ants. Thus, the slave owner planned to control her. Then, they would work together to defeat Sakurai Yaeko.

Lu Shu suddenly felt that the slave owner deserved to die. Chiba Mahiro, a compassionate and aloof girl, had been involved in this terrible situation.

At first, Lu Shu had wanted to use the Metahuman in Kokushikan University as bait. When he realized who she was, he got rid of this plan.

But Chiba Metahuman was not safe. Once the slave owner was able to control a sensory-type Metahuman, Chiba Mahiro’s identity as a Metahuman would be exposed.

But Lu Shu was never someone who would only defend after being attacked. He decided that he would seize the slave owner controlling Oda Masako and Nakagawa Masaharu. Then, he would kill the rest of the slave owners.

Chiba Mahiro walked past Lu Shu and Oda Masako in an innocent and naive manner. It was as if she had not sensed any murderous intent.
