Compared to the great crisis of the Honkai, which could destroy human civilization,
Whether the living Stigmata had any side effects or dangers seemed insignificant in these experimental demonstrations. Because many important people had even contributed their own children.
'No wonder I saw so many children from wealthy and powerful families at the entrance ceremony. So, these people also wanted to get what they wanted from Academy City.'
Hachiman Hikigaya thought of how he was drafted to come here.
Manabu Horikita, on the other hand, wasn't that nervous. He calmly said, "As you all know, many wealthy and powerful families have sent their children into Academy City. Although they've taken many of the good positions in the research institutes, they've also participated in living Stigmata experiments. We might not trust their ability to govern, but I think we can at least trust their ability to choose the winning side."
Under Horikita's 'persuasion', they quickly accepted the situation.
Izumi Masamune, however, temporarily kept this in mind. He decided to postpone his little sister's enrollment plan for now. It would be better for his little sister to stay a NEET at home for a little while longer. He could support her with his current income.
He was a relatively quiet and shy person, so he couldn't provide any advice about this serious meeting.
"The reason I've gathered you guys was to deal with these problems. The board of directors will not ignore the people who are causing problems in Academy City. Especially some of those who are intentionally supporting followers for the 'Mother of the Stigmata' under that guise and using these people to lure out the 'Mother of the Stigmata.' These things are interfering with the board of directors themselves. What we need to do is investigate those problematic research institute members."
After Hei finished speaking, he directly took off his coat at the meeting, and there was indeed the same living Stigmata on his body.
Even though his body had already been modified by Noldrei, he still needed to implant these similar kinds of trust onto the people whom he had gathered.
When the living Stigmata wasn't directly exposed, it wasn't that obvious. But when it was worn on the body, Hachiman Hikigaya could clearly see the life force of the thing.
The beating pulses were full of energy, making Hachiman Hikigaya keep looking at it.
While it looked like a weird flesh tissue, it wasn't completely unacceptable either. It was something like Guyver.
'Huh, what am I trying to convince myself of? Whose Guyver looks like leather clothing that you wear directly on your body?'
Hachiman Hikigaya was really speechless. This thing truly did look scary.
"This is power. After obtaining it, my combat power isn't just doubled. If you guys have seen those Valkyries modified armors, then you would be able to understand my thoughts better. The Stigmata battlesuit was created to be compatible with those Honkai armors."
After Hei adjusted his clothes, his words sounded like they could boil one's blood.
But there weren't many fools here, and they didn't believe in things like free meals.
'I don't know if that shorty leader knows about this. Since the people from the board of directors all know, there's no way the people who manage the security guard trainees in Academy City wouldn't know.'
Hachiman Hikigaya didn't have many information sources, and he felt that this Academy City was full of holes. It was very unnerving.
"What are we planning to do next?"
Sakuta Azusagawa had the urge to leave, but seeing as there was a chance to save his younger sister, he wasn't willing to give up.
"Investigate the situation of these two people, this idol sisters group called 'Vodka Girls.' There seems to be someone pushing them from behind the scenes, constantly injecting funds into them."
Hei took out two cute photos of young girls. This made the friends present speechless.
They were just talking about the 'schemes' of the higher-ups in the Academy City, and now they were suddenly going to investigate the people behind an idol sisters group?
'Did you get something wrong?'
Hachiman Hikigaya picked up the photo, took a look, and said suspiciously, "Aren't these a pair of comedian sisters? They don't really count as idols, they only became popular thanks to the recent beast girl trend."
"Their tails and horns are real. They're like that because someone injected Honkai beast genes into their bodies."
Hei's explanation always made people feel horrified.
"Human experiments, huh?" Sakuta Azusagawa immediately understood what Hei was saying.
"I'm guessing that someone wants to buy their genetic information, so they're trying to see if they've created any problems."
Hei's purpose was actually very simple. It was to simply slow down the research speed of Academy City. This, of course, also included protecting the genetic information of important targets.
"I understand. Do you have any clues about where to investigate?"
Manabu Horikita had finally found a real task. The mental states of an organization with tasks to do and one without tasks to do were completely different.
"If I had any, then I wouldn't have looked for you guys. The researchers will also find people. Of course, they will hide things very carefully, so we need to take action ourselves."
Hei shrugged and said helplessly, "Our director… uh, is a relatively lazy person. So, after giving us enough money, he just let us move on our own."
"It sounds like throwing away garbage…" Hachiman Hikigaya was truly speechless. He felt that it was extremely lucky that Academy City had not collapsed yet.
Their dear labor union president, Kiana, was indeed going shopping and having fun.
This was rare for her to go out and have fun with everyone.
Such a sunny day almost made her forget her NEET life of almost half a year.
When she thought about how all of this was caused by Noldrei, and how she had wasted so much time to prevent that guy from doing anything weird, she couldn't help but sigh.
"It's thanks to my supervision that this place isn't even more chaotic!"
Kiana felt quite proud in her heart.
Tesla couldn't understand why this woman had such a strange sense of pride.
'Doesn't she know how much damage a random thought of hers can cause? So she only learned the mandatory education part in her two months of studying, huh?'
"Then I'm truly grateful for your supervision. Because of that, I have to specifically come here and go shopping with you now. Do you think these things are interesting? Is mecha more interesting, or physics and biology research?"
"Don't get so worked up, Dr. Tesla! Isn't Mei very happy, though?" Kiana's consolation didn't have any effect.
Raiden Mei and Tesla looked at each other, speechless.
Kiana had to consider how to prevent Noldrei from causing problems, and they had to consider how to prevent Kiana from causing problems.
The imperial bloodline continues, but each generation was more useless than the last!
