151: Damn it, I'll blow you up!

On Hakuto's side, after Ginko hung up the phone, he let out a long sigh of relief, as if a huge weight had been lifted from his chest.

That scene just now, even though he experienced it in the form of a dream, was still something he had gone through personally, making the sense of immersion particularly strong.

Hakuto didn't know which iteration of the time loop this was for Otosaka Shunsuke, but one thing was certain—his life in that timeline must have been far from pleasant.

Perhaps it was due to his latent potential being triggered in a moment of crisis, or maybe it was because of his computational abilities.

In that dream, just before he lost consciousness, Hakuto briefly regained his sense of self and suddenly realized he was dreaming.

Unlike his past self in that timeline, Hakuto was well aware of what those fully armed men had come for.

Yet, back then, he hadn't been afraid—he just felt a bit emotional.

If, in that timeline, he had been captured and taken to the lab like a lab rat, regardless of what happened afterward, he would undoubtedly have been imprisoned.

In that timeline, he hadn't realized he possessed his computational ability. If those scientists had detected it in advance, they probably would have kept him in an induced coma indefinitely.

After all, Hakuto's ability was different from Otosaka Shunsuke's, which only required light exposure to activate.

As long as Hakuto had even the slightest consciousness, he could initiate his ability at will. The only way to contain him would be to keep him in an extended coma.

For Hakuto himself, it didn't really matter—after all, it was just sleeping. And besides, that had already happened in his past life.

But in his past life, Ginko might have been wondering why her boyfriend never showed up for the competition—why he suddenly disappeared.

With Ginko's personality, her boyfriend's sudden disappearance would probably have been a devastating blow.

Just imagining Ginko crying alone at night in the past made Hakuto furious, to the point where he wished he could hack into the national nuclear arsenal and obliterate those research facilities!

Damn it! I'll bomb the whole damn place to hell!

At the same time, Hakuto was also grateful to Otosaka Shunsuke—at least because of him, he was able to enjoy such a peaceful life now.

So when are we going to go to war against those scientists?! 

When the time comes, I'll be on the front lines!

The next day, in the Hoshinoumi Academy student council office.

"Here, these are the concert tickets you wanted."

"That straightforward? I thought you'd ask for some kind of condition."

"If you're hoping for that, I wouldn't mind making it happen."

"Forget I said anything."

Hakuto glanced at the tickets in his hand. The name "ZHIEND" was embossed in gold on the concert pass, making it shine brilliantly.

Last night, Hakuto had a lot on his mind. He realized he couldn't just ignore the whole superpower situation.

At the very least, he wasn't alone anymore. If he were captured and taken in for research, others would worry about him…

Though with his current abilities, unless those scientists were willing to go all out and directly target Ginko or Rikka—both ordinary people—to use as leverage against him…

Otherwise, he really couldn't see how he'd get caught.

Damn it! The more he thought about it, the angrier he got! Right now, he wanted to take out every last one of those researchers! 

Just then, Yusa suddenly popped up behind him.

"Good morning, Shiratori-kun…" Yusa was about to greet him, but in the next second, she saw the furious expression on his face and froze in terror.

"S-Shiratori-kun? Did I scare you?"

Seeing Yusa backing away repeatedly, Hakuto realized he had lost his composure.

"Sorry, Nishimori-san, I was just thinking about something infuriating."

"You scared me… I thought you were going to hit me or something."

"Yeah, hitting people!" At Yusa's words, Hakuto suddenly had an epiphany!

He couldn't find those researchers right now, but that didn't mean he couldn't take his frustration out on some delinquents! That works just as well!

Unlike Toyosaki, which had already gone through Hakuto's "re-education," Hoshinoumi Academy was still full of delinquents!

Thinking of this, Hakuto instinctively placed the concert tickets on the table and strode out of the student council office.

"Hm? Where's Shiratori-kun going?"

"No idea… maybe to start a fight?"

Nao had a feeling that Hakuto was in a particularly bad mood today, like a bomb ready to go off at any moment. 

She didn't know what had happened, but it clearly wasn't anything good.

"Or maybe he ran into Sala Shane yesterday and got so excited that he fried his brain?"

"Huh? Shiratori-kun met the lead singer of ZHIEND?"

"Yeah, he just asked me for concert tickets a moment ago…" Nao casually waved the tickets in her hand as she spoke.

Meanwhile, Hakuto had just been looking for some random delinquents to fight when he unintentionally spotted Otosaka Yuu standing in the hallway.

Otosaka Yuu seemed to be on the phone. After what happened yesterday, Hakuto was very curious about the Otosaka surname.

So, putting his plans for a fight on hold, he slowly crept behind Otosaka Yuu, eavesdropping on his conversation.

"Yeah… I might be home late tonight, don't bother preparing my dinner."

"Huh? You're not coming home for dinner?"

"Sorry, Ayumi…"

"It's okay! Just be careful, Yuu-nii… Oh, right! Yuu-nii, have you seen Hakuto-nii recently?"

Hearing Hakuto's name, Otosaka Yuu's face instinctively twisted into an annoyed expression.

Otosaka Yuu didn't understand why, but even though his sister had only met Hakuto a few times, she kept bringing him up.

As a hardcore siscon, this irritated Otosaka Yuu to no end. But no matter how annoyed he was, he still had to answer his sister's question.

"Him? The student council is always busy—who knows where he is, probably pranking someone."

Speaking of pranks, Otosaka Yuu had plenty of personal experience—he had been pranked by Hakuto so badly he almost died!

"Hakuto-nii still likes playing pranks?"

"Of course h—" Otosaka Yuu had been about to badmouth Hakuto, but in the next second, he felt a tap on his shoulder from behind.

"Huh?" Otosaka Yuu instinctively turned his head—only to find himself face-to-face with Hakuto's strikingly refined features.

If there had been any external force to push them together, they might have even kissed.

"Long time no see, Otosaka-kun."

"Ahhhhhh!" Seeing Hakuto so suddenly, Otosaka Yuu was so startled that his phone flew out of his hand.

Fortunately, Hakuto caught it effortlessly.

"Hey, Yuu-nii? What happened?"

Hakuto looked down at Otosaka Yuu, who was now sitting on the floor, while Ayumi's concerned voice came from the phone. 

He casually waved the device in his hand.

"You…!"

"Shhh~" Hakuto gestured for him to be quiet before smoothly answering the call.
