Reawaken the World

A Boy Who's Like a Landmine (Part 1)

"About spending his days studying in his room. It has been 2 weeks since he placed an order for the augmented suit. As Alpha stated at the beginning, he moved into the room without a shower. He tried his best to resist his urge to take a bath. Also, he did not even set foot outside the city. He basically spent his days just focusing on learning."

 

"But even so, Akira was actually in a good mood. That was because he expected to get the first 8,000,000 Aurums added. Her mood got better when Shizuka contacted her to tell about the estimated arrival time of her order. Ever since his call, he couldn't contain his excitement."

 

"Alpha Method is also very useful in teaching Akira. First of all, he started by expanding Akira's gaze, so that he would notice things that he hadn't noticed before. To build an effective learning environment, he uses flying whiteboards and white notebooks filled with drawings and letters to teach. Akira had bought this learning material some time ago. His teaching method was perfect."

 

"Not to mention that his teaching method for each subject is very subtle. The explanation is very easy to understand and very effective. He teaches Akira one-on-one, so that he can focus all his attention on Akira. That small, inexpensive room turns into an optimal learning environment that usually cannot be created without a lot of money. Thanks to that, Akira's growth is incredible."

 

"Then one day, Alpha who pointed at the writing on the electronic whiteboard suddenly pointed to Akira's information terminal."

 

[About a call from Sheryl]

"Ts: this code → [....... ]mark to indicate special speech bubble 'nano' or mechanical device."

"About extending his hand to grab his information terminal. But after she retrieved her information terminal, she was unable to see the call notification from Sheryl. But then suddenly the display showed that there was an incoming call when the ringtone of the call rang. Akira looked a bit confused."

 

(“How did you know it before it actually came?”) 

"Ts: This code is the sign → (“..... ”) to show the conversation bubble."

"Alpha smiled meaningfully."

 

[As I explained earlier, I was actually connected to that network, so I just took advantage of it.]

 

"About wondering if he was really telling the truth when he picked up the phone. When she answered the call, she could hear Sheryl's frantic and nervous voice."

 

(“This is Sheryl. Sorry I called when you were busy. But can I ask you to come to the base? In fact, people from other gangs say that they really want to meet and talk to you. Of course, I disagree, but they start saying that they will personally come to the inn where you live, you know .. ”) 

 

"I'm immediately suspicious of something."

 

(“They want to meet and talk to me? But you're the boss of that gang, right? ”) 

 

(“They said that they didn't need to talk to me. It seems that people outside the gang think that you are the gang boss and I am only your representative, that's why they are unwilling to negotiate with me. ”) 

 

"Takes time to think. Since he spent days inside his room without stepping out, not once, the part of him that was subconsciously seeking rest, made a decision."

 

(“Alright then, I'll head there now. Ask them what they really want to discuss with me. ”) 

 

(“I understand . Thank you very much.”) 

 

"After Sheryl retaliates nervously, Akira ends the call from Sheryl."

 

"Alpha looked at Akira as if she didn't agree to it."

 

(“I did tell you that you won't step out of the room until you get an augmented setting, right?”) 

 

(“Please don't say that. At least let me out once in a while. Besides, I'm not going to the desert. So it's okay, right? I also told Sheryl that I was coming there. ”) 

 

"Alpha smiled as if giving permission to a small child."

 

(“Yeah, it can't help then. Be sure to prepare everything before leaving, okay?”) 

 

(“Good.”) 

 

"About preparing his equipment like he used to when he was about to go to the desert before leaving for Sheryl's base."

 

" – * – * – * – "

 

"After Sheryl ended her call with Akira, she sighed while still staring at her information terminal."

 

('. Although it seems like she thought it was annoying, she said that she was coming. Thank goodness.') 

"Ts: this code is the sign → (‘......’) to indicate a thought or word bubble that appears in someone's mind."

"He then turned to the people in question and looked at them with a stern look. It was a man named Wataba and his friends who were trying to see Akira."

 

(“It looks like Akira is coming here. And he told me to ask what you want to discuss with him. So I ask you again, what business do you have with him? ”) 

 

"Wataba replied back in a tone as if she was mocking Sheryl."

 

(“I'll talk when Akira's boy is here. ”) 

 

(“Are you not listening ?! I'm told to ask you what you want to discuss with him, you know ?! ”) 

 

"Sheryl glared at Wataba. But Wataba did not even flinch, instead, Wataba retorted as if intimidating him."

 

(“You are very noisy !! I told you that I will only talk when the boy is here !! So shut up !! ”) 

 

"Wataba stared back at Sheryl and her friends. He's actually part of the Sibea gang, so he knows enough about Sheryl. And since he knew his position in the Sibea gang, he looked at Sheryl."

 

"Wataba had other business to do on the day when Sibea brought some men to attack Akira, which is why he was able to defend his life until now. For several days after Akira killed Sibea, he was still wary of Akira. But as time passed, he began to think that Sibea was killed just because he had no luck that day."

 

"Wataba thinks that Sheryl is just a girl who can do nothing but persuade the boys and Akira is just a boy who is manipulated by Sheryl and ends up supporting her gang. Both are not big. His behavior here is motivated by these thoughts."

 

"Sheryl at her limit glared at Wataba and her friends. He could not pressure them to tell him what they wanted to talk about. Even though he was carrying a weapon, it was also the same for Wataba. He had no desire to pull the trigger to fight."

 

"It could also be felt by Sheryl and Wataba that banter and feelings of superiority spread among the Wataba group while nervousness and a feeling of being cornered spread among Sheryl's group. And it gets worse the more they wait. Wataba even stopped being wary of Akira. Akira is a hunter, so Wataba should at least be more careful when dealing with Akira. But that alertness was gone from him."

 

"Then right at that moment, Akira appeared. Everyone immediately turned their attention to Akira. Akira could feel the atmosphere in the room and immediately understood that it would definitely be a problem. Everyone's attention was still focused on Akira as she walked over and sat down beside Sheryl. He then seemed obviously upset when he asked Sheryl."

 

(“So, what's up now?”) 

"Ts: This code is the sign → (“..... ”) to show the conversation bubble."

(“Y-yah ..”) 

"When Sheryl stumbled on her words, Wataba laughed and said."

 

(“That girl can't get anything from me, you know! He can't accomplish what you told him!”) 

 

"Sheryl turned around and looked at Wataba, her gaze filled with contempt. But Wataba ignored him."

 

"About sigh before asking Wataba."

 

(“So what do you want?”) 

 

"Wataba then answered Akira's question firmly."

 

(“Simple, give me this base and its territory. ”) 

 

"Sheryl and the other children were tense when they heard her request."

 

"Geng Sheryl inherited the territory from the Sibea gang. But it was difficult for them to take care of that large territory with their current members. The unclaimed territory in the slums would only attract trouble and that would be a bad thing both for Sheryl and for everyone else in the slums."

 

"Wataba's boss, Shijima, thought that it would be easier to at least get that surplus territory that Sheryl's gang couldn't handle from Sheryl's by conducting small negotiations with Sheryl's gang. He thought that at best, they needed to use a little intimidation during the negotiations to get it. So he sent Wataba, someone who already knew Sheryl, to discuss with her gang. But then Wataba advanced on her own after seeing how Sheryl's gang treated them, so she changed requests without asking permission from her boss."

 

"Of course, it's not something Sheryl can accept. Thus, Sheryl reflexively yells back to Wataba."

 

(“Are you kidding?! There is no way we can take it !! ”) 

 

(“I didn't ask you, so shut up. ”) 

 

"Wataba yelled back to intimidate him, Sheryl grimaced and shrank when she heard him. Wataba looked annoyed as she looked at Sheryl with a mocking expression. He then turned to Akira and asked in style as if he knew what Akira was going to say."

 

(“So, what do you think? Of course, you'll give it to me, won't you? ”) 

 

(“No, Sheryl also makes it clear now. So don't ask me. ”) 

 

"About answering back casually and decisively, something Wataba did not expect."

 

"Wataba was stunned from Akira's reply, but was soon replaced by annoyance. Being driven by that aggravation, she asked Akira."

 

(“I've heard of you before, this gang is yours, right?”) 

 

 

"The way Akira behaves triggers Wataba's anger to rage."

 

(“You! A boy! Do you not precede yourself? I am part of the Shijima-san gang, which is on a different level compared to the weak gang filled with little kids. We also have many members and a large area! So don't think this will end well if you refuse !! ”) 

 

(“Fuck if I care. ”) 

 

"Wataba shouted furiously as she said that. But Akira seems like he doesn't care and answers as if it's someone else's problem."

 

"Because things didn't go as he expected, and seeing how Akira mocked him, Wataba's mood deteriorated. His face was curved according to his mood. But even so, it didn't affect Akira at all which only made him more irritated and angry."

 

"But his face immediately returned to a relaxed expression mixed with ridicule. Then Wataba smiled invincibly."

 

(“Hei son, do you really think that we don't know about you?”) 

"Ts: This code is the sign → (“..... ”) to show the conversation bubble."

"I guess he finally reacted when he looked a little surprised."

 

(“.... What do you really know about me?”) 

 

"Wataba's expression relaxed after Akira finally reacted as she expected."

 

(“As I said, my gang has a lot of members. So it's an easy thing for us to find your place to live, you know? ”) 

 

"About calling Alpha through telepathy."

 

(“Alpha.”) 

 

"Alpha got what Akira meant from that short signal."

 

[This position is not good. So you have to move.]

"Ts: this code → [....... ]mark to indicate special speech bubble 'nano' or mechanical device."

"About then stood up and walked to the Alpha-designated location and he stood leaning against the wall. After which, he retorted back to Wataba as if he was mocking her."

 

(“You found the inn where I stayed, huh? So what's? Are you going to gather people and attack that place next? Are you stupid Do you seriously think that I am the only Hunter who lives in that place? You're gonna get the enemy out of the security guard contracted by that inn, you know? Are you sane? If you want to kill yourself, do it without causing problems for others, right? ”) 

 

"Seeing how Akira did not show the slightest fear after knowing that they knew where he was staying, Wataba became stubborn and shouted back."

 

(“I-Not that !! We also investigate the shops you frequent !! Are you really alright if something happens to that shop and the owner of that store? !! ”) 

 

"About sighing while deliberately concealing the dark feeling that flowed in his heart. He carefully grabbed the gun behind him trying not to be noticed as he warned Wataba and his friends."

 

(“At least I will tell you this with kindness. The arms dealer named Katsuragi may look like a normal arms dealer from the outside, but he is strong enough to sell his goods to Frontline. If you underestimate and try to attack him, you'll just kill yourself, you know? ”) 

 

"After hearing that, Wataba smiled wickedly. Enough for Akira to make a decision on what to do next."

 

(“Alpha, I'm counting on you. ”) 

 

[About, you might want to rethink about-]

 

"Alpha understood what Akira wanted to do and tried to stop him first. But before he could say anything, Wataba laughed confidently and said."

 

(“Not that . I am talking about the girl- ”) 

"Ts: This code is the sign → (“..... ”) to show the conversation bubble."

"Suddenly a gunshot resounded throughout the room. When the anti-monster bullet tore through Wataba's chest, it sent her body flying straight into the wall behind her. Wataba's face froze in shock as she fell forward and made a bold sound as she touched the ground. He was killed instantly. The blood and flesh that was sent flying when he was shot dyed the red wall and blood flowed out from his dead body forming a pond on the floor."

 

"No one thought Akira would suddenly shoot and kill Wataba without even the slightest hesitation."

 

"The other people accompanying Wataba were so shocked that they froze on the spot. Then the unlucky guy who regained his composure first tried to grab his gun just to get a shot at his leg by Akira and rolled on the floor. His legs that were shot with anti-monster bullets were smashed to pieces."

 

"The man was attacked with intense pain as he spouted a curse while writhing on the floor. Akira then points his gun at other people to stop them from doing something stupid."

 

"Little kids there finally started screaming. Some of them could only stand frozen there. Some of them ran to the corner of the room. And some of them ran out of the room. Negotiations turned into fights and there were only a few of them who knew how to handle fights."

 

"Alpha then asked Akira with a stern expression."

 

[Account. Do I need to kill him?]

 

"About answering back resolutely and quickly."

 

(“Iya.”) 

 

"Alpha let out a sigh of despair and slight irritation before smiling as usual."

 

[I understand, it's inevitable. It's not over yet, so don't let your guard down.]

"Ts: this code → [....... ]mark to indicate special speech bubble 'nano' or mechanical device."

(“Yes I know. ”) 

 

"Although Alpha doesn't care how many people Akira kills, she wants Akira to at least avoid meaningless killings."

 

"Despite the fact that Akira doesn't like problems, he's actually making trouble for himself here. He thought that it was all because of his bad luck, but the truth was that he continued to do things that attracted bad luck. Akira himself was unaware of his contradictory behavior. It was a vague moral standard within him that prompted Akira to do such a thing. Wataba's statement is something Akira's moral standards deem unacceptable and triggers a fight."

 

"Alpha thought that it would be difficult to predict Akira's behavior as long as he did not understand that vague moral standards Akira held. Therefore he decided to continue observing Akira for the time being."

 

"About continuing to point his gun at the other Wataba people to keep them safe while he warns them."

 

(“Throw your gun…. 5 ... 4 .. 3 .. ”) 

 

"People who were still standing there threw their weapons. Only the man who was shot in the leg was still wriggling on the ground while applying pressure to his open wound. Akira kept counting down while pointing his gun at the head of the man on the ground."

 

(“… 2 … 1 …”) 

 

(“Wait!! I'll throw the gun !! Please don't shoot! ”) 

 

"The other men tried to stop Akira in a panic. He then took the gun from his friend who could not do that because of his injuries and pain. After which, he also took out his own weapon, dropped it on the ground and kicked it. Only then did Akira finally lower his weapon."

 

"Silence finally returned to the room. Everyone was terrified and looked at Akira who shot Wataba without hesitation or warning. But that doesn't bother Akira at all."

 

"About then ask the other Wataba's men."

 

(“So, you guys are also members of Shijima's gang, right?”) 

 

(“Y-yes. Don't shoot, please don't shoot, okay? ”) 

 

(“Bring me to him. Sheryl, come with me.”) 

 

"Sheryl could not understand what had just happened and froze in place. But once his brain finally found out what had just happened, and understood what Akira was saying, he was once again shocked for a different reason. He finally regained his composure as his face moved."

 

(“... Eeehhhhh !! ??”) 

 

"Sheryl screamed."

 

"The Shijima Gang is just like Sheryl's gang, it's one of many gangs inside the slum city. But unlike Sheryl's small and weak gang, it was a medium-sized gang with many members and a large territory."

 

"About and Sheryl go to Shijima's gang base."

 

"The hall inside the headquarters was filled with Shijima's subordinates. Akira and Sheryl can pass through that hall because they have a member of Shijima's gang, who comes with them to guide them."

 

"Shijima knew about Akira's arrival from one of his subordinates who came to him in panic. He was still thinking whether to meet them in person or not after hearing the report from his subordinates. After all, the report is hard to believe. But given that Sheryl, who is a gang boss who inherits the Sibea gang territory, comes here with Akira, who is a Hunter supporting Sheryl's gang, she finally decides to meet them face to face."

 

"When Shijima entered the room where Akira and Sheryl were waiting for her, Shijima began to understand the truth of the report from her subordinates."
