Naomi, who suddenly appeared above the Avos School, gained the students' attention. They were the students who couldn’t leave Avos Island for some reason.
Some of those students weren’t able to leave Avos Island due to monetary issues, and some of them had no home outside of Avos Island.
The Esper Association recruited Avos School’s students from many different places and countries. Their targets were teenagers with difficulty in life. For example, stress from being bullied, orphans who had no home, and those who were ostracized from society.
They were gathered in Avos Island to be taught, or rather, brainwashed so they would be loyal to the Esper Association.
That was the program that the Esper Association had planned. The program that was supposed to finish this year was pushed back a year due to Naomi’s attack two years ago.
Although she didn’t know that she had saved a lot of students from being brainwashed, for some reason, she revisited the same place to destroy it for the second time.
Naomi wanted to destroy the school to get the attention of the youngest executive, Lucilla, who acted as the headmaster of the Avos School.
She looked around and noticed Hotaru, who stood under a tree while holding her holo phone near her ear. With her enhanced hearing, Naomi knew that Hotaru had called Mischa.
Almost all of the students tried to run away from the school because they feared Naomi. But there was always an exception. Finally, she noticed a boy who glared at her from the ground.
That boy was familiar to her because he had left a bit of an impact when she attended the Avos School. He was Ken Lopmus, the boy who had the ability to control any metal.
“Akasa Naomi…!” The boy muttered in a low voice with hatred mixed in his voice.
Naomi didn’t know what happened to him, but he was clearly hostile toward her. She thought that he would become a perfect member of her organization, but it seemed an impossible possibility after she heard the hatred that came from his mouth.
She didn’t care, though. Maybe his important one was among the ones she killed in the past, or he lost his important one in the riot a few days ago.
She looked at him with an indifferent gaze. He was not her target, and it seemed like her target was not on this island.
“She’s not here, huh?” muttered Naomi to herself.
Without her target here, she turned around to leave.
As she did that, a big metal spear hit her back.
Clang!
The spear hit Naomi’s Telekinesis armor and created a loud sound. It didn’t even hurt Naomi, and the spear fell to the ground.
Thud–
Naomi looked back to the ground and was greeted with a black sand in front of her. The black sand was iron sands.
It formed a huge spike from the ground and easily reached Naomi, who floated ten meters above the ground.
Naomi used her Telekinesis to destroy the sand spike in front of her without even moving a muscle. Finally, she was able to see Ken’s enraged expression with his hands extended toward her.
He had a rough breath, clearly exhausted after using a big move that he had never used before.
It was impressive. Naomi was even impressed with Ken’s ability.
She saw what he could do when Susan asked him to show his ability. The ability to control metal. She never thought that it could be used to control iron sands.
However, she had no time to play with him right now.
“What are you doing?” She asked with a cold tone.
Although Ken was a student of Avos School, he was innocent as long as he didn’t attack her. But, he attacked her just now, and Naomi branded him as a hostile individual.
“Don’t leave, Akasa Naomi!” Ken shouted from the ground, “Pant– Pant–! I will not let you leave until you answer my question.”
His breath was still rough, but he tried his best to talk.
Naomi could respect that a little. Especially his courage when facing her. Because it seemed like he had a hard time talking in a loud voice, she descended to the ground and landed 5 meters in front of him.
It was a safe distance because she could use her Telekinesis to block anything that came to her.
Naomi looked around to see if it was a trap to make her descend to the ground, but there was nothing suspicious. The only strange thing was Hotaru had gone from her spot.
‘Maybe she was asked by Mischa to pick her up.’
She heard their communication, so she wasn’t worried about Hotaru.
Naomi calmly looked at Ken, who began to regain his breath.
“What?”
“I respect you because you are openly using your ability in this school, but… Why did you do that? Why did you destroy this school two years ago?! Why did you kill my dad?!”
As Naomi had expected, he lost his loved one due to Naomi’s attack.
She didn’t feel bad. She only looked at Ken with pity.
Two years ago, Naomi didn’t know the truth and only found a possibility that the Esper Association did a human’s experiment. But then, she didn’t feel bad about it at all because she had known the truth right now.
She knew about the humans' experiments that the Esper Association conducted in secret. She knew about the Esper Association plan with the school.
More importantly, she didn’t feel bad because her hands were already drenched in blood since she was a kid.
Naomi was a smart kid. She knew that she would be ostracized if the others knew that she had killed people willingly, even though she was a kid.
That was why she kept silent about it and pretended that she had lost her memories.
That incident was also the reason why she believed the rumors that the Esper Association did humans experiment in secret.
She had been kidnapped herself and was about to be used as a guinea pig. Fortunately, she was strong and could control her power since she could use it.
Not only did she manage to kill them all, it made Naomi realize that the world was not as kind as it looked. She began to distance herself from the other so they wouldn’t get involved with her.
She began to know that the world was not black and white. There was trash like the ones who kidnapped her when she was a kid.
Hence, she didn’t feel bad at all. If she was told to give him an answer, then the answer was obvious.
“Why?”
Ken was waiting for Naomi’s answer.
He wanted to know the reason why she attacked Avos School. His heart wouldn’t be satisfied if he didn’t hear the answer directly. His dad was a great figure for him; he served as his hero.
The reason why he wanted to become strong was to be a hero like his dad. So he wanted to know Naomi’s reason for killing his dad alongside his comrades who guarded Avos School that night.
He then got an answer, but the answer was unexpected for him.
“Because at that time, I wanted to destroy Avos School. What’s wrong with that?”
Naomi being the usual Naomi gave him the honest answer, without telling him her real reason.
