Ultimate Being from the Tokonosu City

Chapter 10: New ability



With Isao's help and the information he provided, everyone smoothly entered the teacher's room, where everyone kept the car keys. 

When they all met, Isao knew that they would become a group. However, instead of letting the protagonist or Saeko take the lead of the group, he took the lead himself since he didn't want them to waste his time, especially when, unlike him, who could stay calm facing all of those "things," they didn't have such calmness on them. 

Probably, in this world, he was the only one that could stay calm like this.

Yet, how could he not? 

If he wished to, he could run away by flying, using the wings he gained from absorbing the wings of a fly. 

At the same time, he realized the other ability of his newfound ability. As for how he found out, he discovered this new ability accidentally when he touched those "things" to check, and this ability was to control the creature, which was absorbed into his body. 

In his case, it was a fly. 

When those students and teachers became those "things," they all had maggots inside and a group of flies around them. Watching all of that, he felt disgusted and wanted to shoo them away, but when he made such a thought, those flies somehow moved away from those "things" as if he ordered them to do so. 

When he saw this, he thought it was all a coincidence, but he discovered that he could control those flies. 

While he was surprised, he thought that it should be his newfound ability. 

In other words, as long as any creatures had their DNAs absorbed into him, he could control them. 

Then, was it possible for him to control a human? 

What about those "things?" 

Unfortunately, he didn't have a chance to try them. 

At the same time, he also discovered he could replicate their DNA when holding someone's hands. 

Yes, "replicate," not "absorb," as he didn't absorb them into his body. 

When he held Saeko's hand, he was notified that he could get her DNA, but it was quite different when he "absorbed" the DNA, and somehow, the process couldn't be done instantly. 

This process was different when he did it with the dog, cat, and fly, but it was similar to when he did it with Kyoko.

However, this process was different when he did it with Kyoko since, unlike in Kyoko's case, it took much longer to replicate Saeko's DNA. This could be due to the method of recording her DNA through a handshake or to how special Saeko's identity was, which was one of the main heroines, and this status gave her unique features and talents. 

His words might seem strange, but what he meant by the unique features and special talents were something like a dog's sense of smell or a cat's flexible body.

Unlike Kyoko's, Saeko's DNA was much more special. 

Moreover, due to his knowledge of "High School of the Dead," Isao knew that Saeko had a talent for swords. At the same time, he also thought that there might be something special about her body constitution, and of course, he wanted to acquire that talent. 

Yes, this "replication" could give him Saeko's talent, knowledge, experiences, and everything, but as expected, the process took quite a while. 

Still, even if the process took quite a while, the result was all the same. Moreover, even though the process was slow, he was able to leave it to the system. He also only needed to wait at least half an hour or so to copy everything in Saeko's DNA, and it took quite some of his stamina. 

So, with that, why should he hesitate?

By then, he held the hands of everyone, whether Shizuka Marikawa, the school nurse; Takashi Komuro, the protagonist; Rei Miyamoto, the protagonist's main heroine; Saya Takagi, the pink-haired tsundere; or Kohta Hirano, a firearm geek.

Among all those people, his biggest gains were, no doubt, Shizuka, Saya, and Hirano. 

Shizuka had knowledge regarding medicine and first aid. 

Saya had a genius brain. 

Meanwhile, Hirano had extensive knowledge of firearms. 

While he wasn't sure since it was quite strange, Takashi Komuro, the protagonist, also seemed to have a unique constitution based on the recorded DNA. 

Anyway, it didn't matter since he was going to replicate all of their DNA! 

At that moment, Isao knew that he was as good as a one-man army. He could walk around this world like he was walking in the park. Nothing could stop him. Moreover, as long as he absorbed one of those "things" inside his body, he knew that this world was as good as his. 

By absorbing those "things" inside his body, not only would he be immune to them, but he could even become their king, manipulating them as he wished!

"Come in." 

As they arrived at the teacher's room, Isao quickly led them inside so he could lock the door quickly. Yet, many were in awe and had complicated expressions when they thought of this. Naturally, the awe was from the female, and the complicated was from the male. However, how could they not be? They never expected their trip would be so smooth that they didn't even do anything.

As long as they stayed quiet, Isao would use his stone-throwing skill to attract the attention of those "things" smoothly, moving forward toward their destination. Moreover, he did all of this without any hesitations, making them feel like they could entrust everything to him. He also had never run away; facing those "things," he would just smash their heads with a baton, and then it was over. 

If there was something that made the female feel complicated, and the boy felt relief, it was how he said that he had an affair with Kyoko, so the boys felt like... their women wouldn't attract his attention. At the same time, while they hated to admit this, they felt they were inferior to him. 

Still, Isao couldn't be careless about everyone's thoughts since he was thinking about making an ultimate lifeform. His goal was much grander than a mere woman that he could get at any time. Moreover, while those heroines were beautiful, there were many beautiful women in this world, and those women didn't even lose to those heroines. 

If there was a reason why those heroines might appear more charming, it was the celebrity effect, as they were famous waifu in Isao's previous life. 

"Senpai, help me to block the door." 

"Ah, yes!" 

"Yes!" 

Takashi and Hirano quickly helped Isao block the door with many heavy things before they sighed in relief when everything was over. 

Everyone was the same since, at least, they were okay in this place, so they decided to take a short break. 

Meanwhile, Isao went to the washbasin inside the room and washed his hands, but then he noticed someone was by his side. "What's wrong, Takagi-senpai?" 

"No... it's just... thank you for saving me. I've never said it before, so I want to tell you that..." Her face was reddened and showed an awkwardness as if she hadn't said thank you to anyone. 

Or was it like a girl who fell in love?

Either way, Isao wouldn't think too much since they only met each other. "It's okay. You don't need to worry." However, he saw that Saya didn't leave and hesitated, seemingly wanting to say something. "Is there anything else, Senpai?" 

"...can I ask you something?" 

"If I can answer it." 

Saya stared at Isao's clueless expression and knew that this guy wasn't as naive as he appeared to be. Still, she knew that while her question might be rude, she couldn't help but ask him. "Can I ask why you stay in the storage room? With your ability, you should be able to leave directly, right?" 

With how Isao was, Saya felt like he was a polar bear who had returned to Alaska or a fish on the water. Even in this type of environment, he could do so well that nothing bothered him.

So, why should he wait till now to come out?

While no one noticed it since they were preoccupied with many things, Saya was curious. 

"....." 

Isao raised his brows as he looked at Saya. "I don't mind telling you, but can you keep this a secret?" 

"I do." Saya nodded without hesitation since she knew that this guy must be hiding something. 

"Come closer." 

"Oh." 

Saya subconsciously moved closer but then felt stunned when Isao also moved closer and whispered, "When you hear it, don't scream or be surprised. Just stay quiet." 

"I know! I am a genius! I never make a mistake!" 

Moreover, Saya also knew how dangerous it was to scream, so she knew she should keep quiet. Still, due to how close they were, her face was reddened, and she had to say his scent was nice, making her sniff at his scent secretly. 

"....." Isao was silent, showing doubt since he didn't feel this girl was reliable. 

"What's with those eyes?" Saya felt insulted by Isao's doubt, which caused her to look at him angrily. 

Isao rolled his eyes, then softly said, "I have sex with Kyoko-sensei." He had a beautiful mature woman that he could fuck anytime, so there was no need for him to care about Saya. 

Moreover, as a good person, wasn't it normal for him to answer a question truthfully? 

His aim was to become a good boy, and he tried not to lie. 

"...." Saya. 

Drying his hands, Isao left Saya after he said those words, but Saya's lips twitched, and as expected, she knew this guy was a bad guy! 

Or did he say that to make her calm down?

Her genius mind tried to search for the hidden meaning behind his words, but as expected, even if she was a genius, there was still a limit. 

Saya didn't know, but for one thing, she was glad to meet him.
