Chapter 393 Campus Heroes!
"How do you persuade someone through performance?"
Rentaro Satomi didn't understand what the boy meant, so he asked.
"You've seen The Girl Who Kills Heaven, haven't you? The villain appears, the people are in danger, and The Girl Who Kills Heaven appears in time. With the light of righteous magic, she defeats the evil villain and wins the gratitude and cheers of the rescued people. That's the kind of performance it is."
Broly offered an explanation.
"So, Broly, you want me to be the executioner of that girl?!"
Lan Yuan Yanzhu immediately perked up, stared wide-eyed at the boy, and hurriedly asked.
"Yes, that's the kind of role I want."
Broly nodded.
"What about the villains? In this real world, it's impossible for an evil villain to suddenly appear, right?"
Rentaro Satomi then asked.
"The one playing the girl of Heaven's Punishment is Enju, the cursed child, so the one playing the evil villain is naturally a Gastrea."
Broly said matter-of-factly.
"Huh?!"
Both the boy and the girl were somewhat surprised.
"Broly, you must be joking. Gastrea are called animals because they lack higher intelligence and behave like wild beasts. They are extremely dangerous beings, and such beings would never cooperate with any kind of performance."
Rentaro Satomi had to remind him.
"I'm asking you, do Gastrea attack humans when they see them?"
"Uh, yes."
Rentaro Satomi nodded.
"If you can do it, then that's fine. Acting naturally is still acting."
Broly said no problem.
"But where would you find Gastrea on campus?"
"Aihara Enju asked."
"Let alone schools, there are very few Gastrea that can even venture into the city."
The boy continued the conversation.
"Do you see the huge boundary marker on the horizon? That's a building made of indium, and the smell of indium is something Gastrea hates, which can isolate most of the Gastrea that roam outside."
Even if a small number of Gastrea manage to break through some of the borders, they will first face the Self-Defense Forces stationed along the borders. And even if they are lucky enough to get past the Self-Defense Forces' defenses, they will still encounter the urban defenses formed by civilian police agencies.
It can be said that since the establishment of the Tokyo Safety Zone, incidents of Gastrea entering the city have been extremely rare.
Several of these cases involved individuals who accidentally contracted enteroviruses while outdoors, becoming sources of infection within the city.
Rentaro Satomi's words conveyed only one meaning: the chances of encountering Gastrea in the city are extremely rare.
"There are no Gastrea in the city, so we can go outside and catch them."
Broly didn't see this as a problem.
"How do we catch it?"
"Use your hands to grab it."
"Broly, I must tell you, defeating a Gastrea might be easy, but capturing one alive is..."
...transition...
"It's not that difficult!"
Outside the city, Broly held up a bound Gastrea and said.
"Stage 3 wolf-type gastrulation..."
Rentaro Satomi's eyes twitched slightly. Judging from how easily the boy captured the wolf-like Gastrea, anyone who didn't know better would think that he had tied up a very obedient big black dog.
"If we just dump this guy at the school, I guarantee the teachers and students of Gou Tian Elementary School will truly understand the ferocity of Gastrea!"
Broly patted the big black dog in his hand and said.
"This isn't just about recognizing a vicious criminal; it's about real casualties!"
Rentaro Satomi still couldn't accept this behavior of deliberately bringing Gastrea into the city and releasing them at the school.
"How could there be casualties? If important audience members die, wouldn't that negate the intended positive effect?"
As Broly spoke, he untied the Gastrea from his hands.
"Be careful!"
As the wolf-like Gastrea recovered and tried to bite the boy next to it, the girl was on high alert.
*Smack!*
A small pebble hit the other's chin, and the wolf-like Gastrea's open jaws were forced to close again.
"Roar, roar..."
The wolf's mouth opens and closes, opens and closes.
"Awoo~"
When a wolf-like gastrula discovers a problem with its masseter muscle, it angrily raises its claws, but then suddenly lowers them.
Rentaro Satomi turned his head and saw that Broly had floated into the air and was throwing pebbles at the wolf-like Gastrea's raised paws.
"Awoo, roar, awoo, roar..."
With the help of the small stones, the wolf-like Gastrea bared its teeth at Rentaro Satomi, but it couldn't do anything else.
Broly's pebbles not only caused pain, but the faint gas attached to them could also disrupt the flow of gas within the Gastrea's body, constantly interrupting the wolf-like Gastrea's movements.
But this wolf-like Gastrea is a bit silly; it gets caught in a bug where its attack animation is interrupted, yet it still relentlessly tries to continue attacking.
Its low IQ makes one wonder if it has a close genetic connection to a creature called a Siberian Husky.
"See, all it takes is throwing pebbles to solve the problem."
Satomi Rentaro: "..."
This is truly training Gastrea like wild animals.
"Broly, can I try throwing stones too?"
Lan Yuan Enju's eyes sparkled as she looked at the boy floating in mid-air and asked.
"Uh, okay."
Broly nodded and handed over a handful of pebbles he had picked up.
Hey~
The girl imitated the boy's behavior and threw a pebble at the wolf-like Gastrea.
"Roar~"
The next moment, Wolf Kiss ignored the pebble she threw and lunged at her.
"Slap, whoosh~"
Broly approached the girl and slammed his wolf kiss shut.
"Why are the stones I threw not working?"
"Because I added gas, yours didn't."
"gas?"
After Broly explained the concept of "ki" to Enju Aihara, Rentaro Satomi finally understood that only boys knew how to use pebbles to interrupt Gastrea attacks.
Are you sure it's safe and there won't be any injuries or fatalities?
But he was still a little worried.
"Broly, I don't want anyone to die because of me."
The girl also said.
"Don't worry, if the pebble can't be controlled..."
Broly's fingertips lit up, and in the next instant, a beam of diffusing energy engulfed the wolf-like Gastrea. The Stage Three creatures, with their powerful regenerative abilities and which ordinary armies would need heavy weapons to deal with, were reduced to ashes in the blink of an eye.
"Then I will take action to eliminate them in time."
Rentaro Satomi looked at the spot where he had stood in Stage 3, but apart from some black ash, there was nothing else on the ground.
"Broly, what is that, a magical flash?!"
Enju Aihara was somewhat excited and pressed for details about the fingertip wave.
"This is also qi, but it's a simpler way of using it."
Broly explained that, in his view, it was much more difficult to attach gas to stones and interrupt Gastrea's movements by throwing stones than to directly use energy beams formed from gas to destroy Gastrea.
"If safety can be guaranteed, then there is indeed no problem."
Rentaro Satomi said that the Saiyan boy's strength had already won him over, and even if the other party was going to throw Gastrea into Enju Aihara's school, he didn't think there was any problem at this moment.
Anyway, all of this is fake; it's an attempt to use the danger exhibited by Gastrea to perform and persuade others.
"Well, we need to find a new actor to play the villain!"
There's no time to mourn the wolf-like Gastrea; the next villain to be cast is a Gastrea that resembles an ancient hammer-dragon.
"Phase Four... Broly, if I remember correctly, Enjude was supposed to demonstrate how he defeated the Gastrea villain later on, right?"
Rentaro Satomi asked the question.
"Um."
Broly nodded as he stomped the head of the Gastrea-like creature, which resembled a Hammerdragon, onto the ground, rendering it unable to get up.
"Even if this stage four Hammer Dragon stood still and let Enju kick it, she probably couldn't move it."
Rentaro Satomi pointed it out.
The higher the evolutionary stage of a gastrulator, the stronger its resilience and defense capabilities.
The fourth-stage Hammer Dragon can now ignore most heavy weapons.
To deal with this thing, you'd probably need heavy sniper rifles with armored bullets made of chromium to break through its defenses.
As for the holographic shoes on Aihara Enju's feet, let's forget about them.
"Oh, is that so?"
Broly scratched his head, realizing that casting villains wasn't so easy after all.
He only thought about how much energy he had, which made him look powerful, but he didn't consider the girl's actual abilities.
Ultimately, on Rentaro Satomi's advice, Broly chose a Gastrea that looked rather ferocious but was actually only at stage two as the antagonist.
According to Rentaro Satomi, Gastrea are a rather terrifying species for ordinary people.
So, there isn't much difference between selecting gastrulators at higher stages and those at lower stages.
On the contrary, choosing gastrulators at lower stages is easier to control, and he is still actively reducing the risk of releasing gastrulators into the school.
"Enju, when you're eliminating this Gastrea, you can't just kill it in one hit. You have to make it look like you're fighting hard and desperately trying to protect the others. Hmm, this is my wife. You're really something, my sister asked me to explain to you."
Broly, the Saiyan director, following the advice of the Crimson Demon girl screenwriter, was giving face-to-face guidance to Enju Aihara, the friend of the cursed child who played the female lead, about her scenes for tomorrow.
Meanwhile, Rentaro Satomi, the handyman, is busy preparing for the Gastrea villains to make a reasonable appearance in the elementary school.
Bringing Gastrea into the city is, to put it bluntly, transporting dangerous creatures.
To put it bluntly, it could be considered anti-humanitarian.
Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!
If they don't properly conceal their roles, they might end up on the official wanted list.
"It's normal for ant-like gastrulators to burrow underground!"
While studying the map of Tokyo, Rentaro Satomi actually found a route that seemed quite reasonable.
Thus, the ant-like gastrulation animals that were brought into the city from the sky became those that burrowed into the outer urban areas from the sandy outskirts.
Then, the villain enters the inner city through the abandoned sewers, emerges from the sewer outlet near the outer street of Gouda Elementary School, and sneaks into the school at night to lurk.
In just one night, through the efforts of the four people, the plot of "[Aihara Enju Campus Heroic Tale]" was prepared.
"Oh no, it's a Gastrea! A Gastrea has invaded our school!"
The next day, after Rentaro Satomi took Enju Aihara to the principal's office at Gouda Elementary School to discuss withdrawing from the school, a panicked cry suddenly rang out, and the entire Gouda Elementary School was thrown into chaos. An ant-like Gastrea had inexplicably appeared in the school.
"Teacher, help!"
The students ran down the corridor, while ant-like gastrulans chased after them, one after another.
"Quick, run out of there!"
Responsible teachers are directing students to safety, but irresponsible ones have already run away.
"Mr. Satomi, putting aside the issue of whether Aihara should drop out of school, aren't you a police officer? Please think of a solution."
Seeing the chaos on campus, the old principal made a request to Rentaro Satomi.
"That was a stage two Gastrea, while Enju and I are just a facilitator and initiator duo who have only been with the company for less than a year. With our strength, I'm afraid..."
The boy looked troubled and hesitated, as if he were worried about his own safety.
"Aihara-kun..."
The old headmaster looked at the girl. If his school's students were slaughtered by Gastrea during his tenure, he would be finished.
"Yeonjoo, this is none of your business. Aren't your classmates still ostracizing you?"
The boy standing nearby spoke up to stop them.
Even so, I will go and save them!
After speaking, Aihara Enju ran away. The old headmaster watched the girl run towards the direction of the riot, and because of what she said, his impression that the cursed child was a monster was somewhat shattered.
How could a girl like that be a monster? She's clearly a good kid who's willing to fight dangerous Gastrea to protect her classmates!
The old headmaster didn't notice the red mark on the girl's ear. Aihara Enju, who was performing in a live-action stage play for the first time, was still a child who wasn't very good at lying.
On the other side, the ant-like Gastrea had arrived near Enju Aohara's classroom. Several elementary school students who were running away suddenly felt numbness in their knees and fell to the ground.
"Teacher, please save us!"
The children were so frightened they cried and wet themselves, and they cried out for help to the only adult nearby.
"You are not allowed to hurt my students..."
Mr. Takeuchi's legs were a little weak, but he didn't abandon his students and run away. Instead, he grabbed a chair and stood in front of the truck-sized, ant-like Gastrea.
Just as the Gastrea was looking at the group of food in front of it, and was interrupted every time it tried to open its mouth, and was forced to stand still for a full fifteen seconds, Enju Aihara finally arrived.
"Uh, please don't hurt my teacher and friends!"
When she saw her homeroom teacher standing in front of the ant-like Gastrea, Aihara Enju was taken aback at first, but quickly realized what was going on and added the other person into her lines.
Pushing off the ground, the girl launched a flying kick with her legs together, but the powerful kick didn't have much effect.
Aihara Enju remembered Broly's instructions and, when he kicked the ant-like Gastrea's head, he released his force to avoid killing the giant ant in front of him.
So, the ant-like gastrulator was only kicked back two steps before its sharp mouthparts were aimed at the girl, but she dodged them.
"Ah, it's Aihara-kun!"
"Yeonju, it's Yeonju who came to save us!"
The teachers and students became quite excited when they saw the Gastrea being stopped by the girl.
"You guys need to get out of here. This guy is too strong; I might not be a match for him."
But one sentence from the girl calmed them down.
"But what will you do?"
Ogawa was somewhat moved by what the girl shouted as she ran over, and also because he had seen a similar scene in the movie "Tenchu Girl," he asked the question.
"It's alright. I am the child of the curse, more powerful than you. I should protect you."
The students looked at the girl, who was entangled with the Gastrea, with mixed feelings.
"Then be careful, students, let's go!"
The male teacher was the first to react and pulled the student away.
"Okay, the first scene is over. Next, we're going to cause a ruckus in the hallway and leave behind traces that Gastrea are powerful and dangerous. I won't throw any more pebbles. Be careful yourself."
Through the earpiece, I could hear the director's instructions.
"no problem."
Enju Aihara responded, and the ant-like Gastrea, which had stopped being hit by stones, quickly demonstrated its abilities as a second-stage being.
The school corridors, where teachers and students had already evacuated, were suddenly filled with the Gastrea's rampage, shattering windows and damaging ceilings, leaving behind a trail of battle scars.
"Alright, everyone from the school has gathered on the playground. Yeonju, come over here."
Broly emerged from around the corner, and Aihara Enju quickly retreated to his side.
"Here, this is a blood plasma bag. Put it on your head."
Broly handed over a bag of blood plasma.
This is real blood, taken from the freezer in Dr. Sumire Muroto's research lab.
"Does it really have to go to that extent?"
The girl looked distressed.
"The more horribly you look, the more grateful the people you save will be to you; that's always been the case with heroes."
Upon hearing this, Aihara Enju could only smear blood onto her head.
"Go to the broadcasting room. There's no one under the wall there. I'll tamper with the wall in that room later."
Lure that stupid ant over there, let it bump into the hole, then, with the microphone still on, fall down with it. Remember to get some dust on yourself, make yourself even more covered in dirt.
Broly gave a live performance, saying that although he had sneaked in for a rehearsal last night, the actual script would still need to be revised depending on the situation.
Just as the teachers and students who had come to the playground for refuge were hearing the huge commotion coming from the teaching building, their faces turning pale as they wondered whether they should continue running outside, a loud bang was heard as the wall of the fifth floor of the teaching building was smashed.
"It's a Gastrea!"
Some elementary school students exclaimed in surprise.
"Enju fell down too!"
Aohara Enju's classmate, the sharp-eyed chubby boy, spotted the girl.
Upon landing, the human and the Gastrea resumed their fierce battle.
"Those wretched Gastrea! I'll protect my school!"
The girl shouted out her prepared lines.
The wireless microphone on my body wasn't broken, but it picked up the sound and broadcast it through the loudspeaker throughout the school.
The teachers and students who were about to escape were stunned. They stopped in their tracks when they saw the girl with blood on her face, fighting against the terrifying Gastrea.
"Enju, don't lose to the Gastrea!"
With tears welling up in his eyes, Ogawa shouted in the direction of Aihara Enju.
"Go for it, Aihara-kun!"
Teacher Takeuchi also shouted something.
The atmosphere had reached this point, and even Aihara Enju's classmates started cheering her on, saying things like "Don't lose!"
Originally, before Aihara Enju was exposed as a cursed child, she had good interpersonal relationships. Now, she has only reminded her classmates of their past friendship.
Furthermore, humans are emotional beings, especially since this is an elementary school with mostly children. After seeing many people cheering for the girl over there, they also joined in the cheering.
"Very good, let's deliver the final blow. Give it your all. After you knock it down, face everyone with a bright smile, say your final lines to your classmates who are cheering you on, and then pretend to be powerless and fall down!"
Amidst the cheers and shouts of the crowd, Enju Aihara finally kicked the head of the ant-like Gastrea to pieces.
The girl turned around and smiled brightly at her classmates, both those she knew and those she didn't, on the playground: "Everyone, you're safe now!"
After saying that, she collapsed to the ground, albeit somewhat awkwardly, but also perfectly timed.
"Enju!"
Rentaro Satomi shouted and ran up to him.
He was the one wrapping things up, but he was definitely nervous.
Lan Yuanyanzhu winked at him from his arms, which put him at ease.
Rentaro Satomi knew his mission; he couldn't let anyone see that Enju wasn't injured and was just pretending to faint.
Behind the back of a group of people, he first removed the earpiece from the girl's ear and discreetly stuffed it into his pocket.
"Make way, make way..."
With those words in mind, he grabbed the girl and rushed out of the school.
The Legend of Enju, a school hero, officially ended with a scene where many students made way for the boy carrying the girl as he rushed out of the school!
