Chereads / The Immortal Akira / Chapter 87 - PSD

Chapter 87 - PSD

Akira was freed from prison with the help of Shura, Yeru, and Hakku. Both Kazuya and Akira kneeled with regret and sincerity.

Costly as it was to escape from prison, Akira's damage from earlier lost him half of his lottery prize of ten million Gols. Akira now possessed the remaining five million Gols, but they had to go to waste due to his stupidity in unintentionally wrecking a soldier's vehicle.

Kazuya, on the other hand, was taken to his house and allowed to rest because of the tiredness he had experienced and the fact that he had committed a crime with a new record. It was discovered that his previous crime involved beating eight people to a pulp and then causing vandalism to the remaining property.

Akira was reminded of his warrior's license but surprisingly he said that he didn't have one. He saw one before and it was from Volts at that time. Now, Hakku and Shura immediately transported Akira to the PSD after Yeru took Kazuya home.

"A warrior without a license is like a swordsman without a blade. It should be noted that the first thing you should do after taking an exam is to go to the PSD. Without a license or any proper dress code, it's no surprise why they shoot you and didn't take you seriously." Hakku gave Akira a word of advice after having walked out of the police station.

"Yeah, you don't have to tell me twice. I'm not old here, so it's not like I knew much of the rules in the city. As a matter of fact, it's rare seeing a warrior being active, I couldn't care less about it though, but just where were the warriors?"

"Warriors have a duty not just in the city but the entire country. This is only the capital city, there are more cities around than you think, and not all generals as well stayed here. But as of now, we have to be vigilant because these trespassers are troublemakers that's why a lot of warriors you see are seemingly more active than before."

"That explains it. I fought alone and not a single warrior showed up on time... Ah! How wide is the city, anyway?" Even if Akira didn't know much about the city, as long as the warriors didn't take his credit, he didn't give a damn about them.

"5,703km²" Hakku answered with an expressionless face that wasn't shocking for him in contrast to Akira. 

Hakku and even Shura found Celesta wide and vast, with nothing much to react to. 

After a recent talk about the city and why warriors were more active than usual, they finally made it to the PSD building.

The building was twice as broad as a typical apartment and had a cubic shape.

The structure's walls were an extremely dark tint, and inside were some warriors. Having gone inside, Akira was fascinated with a curious cat expression. The technologies were more advanced than anything he had seen as if he was entering a new world.

With many warriors around, Akira had to queue in order for him to get his license.

39 minutes later, he finally got his chance to get his license at last. It took him 2 tests, and one was a writing test, which got scanned for his initial data. 

The writing test was the only real difficulty. He learned a lot, yet he was unable to hold out hope of doing well on the test. Never would he have thought that even the unnecessary information he had picked up from his old master, Sora, would prove useful. Akira nevertheless smiled proudly at having finished the test in less than an hour.

Finally, Akira's data was revealed after an almost 40-minute delay.

This was his data chart...

Akira was finally able to deduce from his data charts that the only thing his rigorous training had improved was his physical attributes.

"Not too shabby, it shouldn't be a surprise for someone like you. And how come your intelligence is 62 out of 100? Furthermore, what's wrong with your main ability?" While reviewing Akira's data chart, Shura discovered an oddity.

"Long story. And like I've told you, I'm not that kind of an idiot. But to my surprise, I thought my speed would be slightly lower. From what I've seen, my speed was nearly eight hundred, unlike my strength and durability. Is that even normal?" Akira asked if Shura would know how speed was lower than strength and durability.

"It totally is, nothing to be afraid of. Speeds are somewhat lower than any other stats. Systems are a mysterious power that none could solve, maybe if you would like to know better, ask Sir Senku Leonardo, he's more likely to have unusual knowledge." Hakku was also checking Akira's data charts.

"Yeah, I'll have to decline. Not feeling the mood." Akira went frowned, feeling exhausted after the recent events.

Both Akira and Shura left Hakku behind, standing while viewing Akira's data.

"immeasurable... There are probably some little concerns that have been on my mind. Even though I know you're immortal, I'm a little astonished that it stated error. Ngh... Using this body itches... Celesta has been waking up more and more alert lately, so despite my best efforts to approach you, I can hardly even put one foot here unnoticed. Well, I suppose I can't complain. We meet again, Akira♪" Turned out, that it wasn't Hakku who was with Akira. It was Savanth.

Finally leaving the PSD building, Akira and Shura made plans to dine together. Akira accepted Shura's invitation to join them at a nearby ramen shop.

They conversed while seated next to one another, wanting to know what each other had been doing prior to their re-meeting.

"Me? Although there was plenty of trouble to remember, it very much bothered me. New acquaintances, riddles, and a fanatical religious sect that views freedom as justification for devastation and mass murder. Yes, pretty much like that." While waiting for the ramen bowl he ordered he started telling Shura how he was doing. After then, Akira proceeded to inquire about Shura.

Regarding Shura, he just responded that a lot of things also occurred and that they were classified. He was a swordsman by chance and was sent on a mission to join the group.

"I see, that's bad, huh? I've been expressing to the king my desire to solo once in a while. I was forced to agree to his one-sided quest, though. I gained a lot of experience from that. That may also be useful, I suppose. Generals are amazing; watching them battle left me in amazement and reminded me of how powerful I must be." Akira conceded that he lacked the power necessary to claim the title of strongest. Despite having immortality, he might still be overpowered by getting unconscious. To put it another way, Akira still lacked.

"How about your friend, Volts? According to Kazoru's text on how he was described, he was a cold person and some sort of "emo"." Kazoru had told Shura about Volts.

Akira nodded, acknowledging how true it was. The ominous vibe that pervaded the area was intolerable to him. Before they spoke, he had a certain amount of pessimism.

"He didn't have a happy past, and I get that. I only wished he would get himself together. I intervene just in time to stop him from nearly killing a man by blasting his brains out. Considering how icily he is staring at me, it doesn't feel brand new. Heh, he didn't even express thanks after I saved him; he only lamented his miserable life." Akira ate 13 bowls of ramen while describing the same emotion he had experienced after fighting Volts.

Speaking of Volts, Akira had previously been interested in Kazoru's training and was now rather nosy about Volts...

About Rozori

Favorite foods: "Oh, me? I'm not a picky eater type of person. I eat everything edible, including vegetables, of course. Remember what our mother always says, always eat your vegetables."

Disliked foods: "I disliked bread. I know I'm not a picky eater, but I always find bread somewhat dreadful when combined with other foods such as meat, vegetables, and sauces, which include other bread too. I eat them sometimes, but I don't like how they taste. It's my personal opinion, don't take it personally."

Hobbies: "I quite enjoy playing tennis once with my brother. He always beats me for sure, and he's very good at it. We had a spar once, a game of tennis using our magic, it was a catastrophe after that, and I lost. Just because he has amazing overpowered magic doesn't mean I'll give up that easily!"

Likes: "Sometimes, it's nice spending time with her. Although most of my workdays, I find myself rather busy dealing with multitasking. Me? A love slave? Speaking of that, Sazoru did give me the word that I'm a love slave. Well, I suppose that's true... Heh... What am I doing with my life?"

Dislikes: "Eek, ever heard of trypophobia? It's a type of phobia in which you feared small holes. I don't quite understand how in the world phobias existed. It always gives me the itchiness just right when I saw that thing. Note to all, never ever, search deeply on the internet, or else disturbance upon your life will happen."
