Tony's question was answered by J.A.R.V.I.S., whose voice sounded in the room.
J.A.R.V.I.S.: "Sir, there appears to be a firewall in that bedroom. I can't break through it to detect what's happening inside."
"What?" Tony was startled and frowned.
Ever since Nick Fury's unexpected visit, Tony had upgraded the villa's entire security system, making sure J.A.R.V.I.S. could mon...
Time flies.
Before he knew it, **Pichu** had been staying in Tony Stark's villa for more than three months.
The date was now February 2009.
Over the past three months, the relationship between **Pichu**, Tony, and Pepper had improved a lot.
During this time at Tony's house, nothing major seemed to happen on the surface, but under the surface, there were definitely tu...
In the kitchen.
"Tony, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing Tony with a sour expression, Pepper, who was cooking for him, was puzzled.
"It's okay, but that Pichu is really annoying," Tony shook his head.
Then he looked at the fruit salad and sandwiches that Pepper was making, his eyes lit up slightly, and he was about to reach out to grab a piece of the fruit salad and eat...
"Why are you so stubborn? Not now? Does that mean there will be in the future? Don't you dare to admit that you have no feelings for Pepper? Oh no, Potts?"
"Do you dare to say? Do you dare to tell Pepper that you don't feel anything for her? I don't even have to guess. I'm pretty sure you do."
"Just now I created an opportunity for you, okay, and you didn't know how to take advant...
Time passed slowly.
Pichu watched two movies.
Unknowingly, the time came to 3:30 in the afternoon.
The door of the villa opened suddenly, and a figure walked in.
Pichu, who was watching a movie, shook his big ears and turned his head to look towards the door.
"Miss Potts, sir is downstairs. Do you need me to remind him?"
At this time, the voice of J.A.R...
The magic train screeched to a halt. A handsome young man yawned as he lazily stepped off onto the platform.
This was Agalifa, a city about fifty kilometers from Magnolia, and Noah's destination for his next commission.
Atmosphere? Two words came to mind—*get rich.*
The moment he exited the station, several people shoved piles of flyers into his hands. Flipping them...
Noah's monthly salary as Fairy Tail's "coach" was 200,000 jewel. After deducting his 100,000 dorm rent, he was left with enough to live on comfortably.
It seemed that Makarov was fully aware of Lumen Histoire's location. For now, there was no way for Noah to pry further information from him. He would have to be patient and wait for an opportunity.
With no clear leads and a sta...
The autumn sky was bright, and a gentle breeze swept through Magnolia.
As a seaside city, its climate did not vary much throughout the year, other than winter.
Behind the guild's tavern-like building stretched a large open field connected to a lake. Fairy Tail actually held ownership over quite a wide territory. Unfortunately, years of tight finances meant most of it had gone ...
"Kicked out of the guild by the Master himself?!"
Mira's voice rose sharply, as though she had just heard something unbelievable.
Noah, still fairly new to Fairy Tail, didn't understand why she was so shocked at the mention of someone being expelled.
Kana explained, "I heard Wakaba, Macao, and the others talk about him when I was little.
"Over the years since...
For reasons unknown, Xiaobai—Kana's beloved dog—shed the rough, coarse fur of his old age and now shone with soft, smooth, snow-white fur.
Before long, the little white dog had returned to his youthful appearance.
As an ordinary pet, Xiaobai didn't understand the miracle that had occurred. All he knew was that when he opened his eyes, the master he longed for was by his si...
The dazzling and brilliant purple light completely illuminated the night sky, and the unique mark of Idle Transfiguration was reflected on the sea.
Kanzaki Kaori and her group stared at this scene in astonishment, somewhat puzzled by Rhode's actions, but in the next second, an extreme sense of oppression emerged from the depths of their Souls.
Everyone except Kanzaki Kaori began t...
"Dinner!" Li Ming announced to the training yard before hurrying back to the mess hall to help prepare against the coming invasion. The wave of hungry, dead-eyed recruits shambled in, with small groups of exhausted but otherwise still lively veterans mixed within. Li Ming and her colleagues served them with equal efficiency, handing over trays of rice and meat and greens.
It was only sl...
Darkness filled her vision, her dazed mind not yet fully recovered.
"Where is this?" Saten Ruiko murmured to herself.
'Are those without Items truly defective products?!'
'Why, no matter how hard I try, does my Item not improve in the slightest?!'
'I'm not resigned to this?!'
'I carried so many expectations.'
'Did I lose?'
Countless voices, both ...
"Wait, Sister-sama!?" Shirai Kuroko, seeing Misaka Mikoto on the verge of losing control, instantly teleported behind her and embraced her.
"Mmm-hmm~" Shirai Kuroko, zapped numb by the electricity from Misaka Mikoto's body, let out a strange sound, her pretty face flushing crimson.
Hearing Shirai Kuroko's strange sound brought Misaka Mikoto back to her senses, realizing the foolis...
The Imagine Breaker incidents were becoming more frequent, and gradually, the first batch of Imagine Breaker users began to fall into a coma.
"Saten Ruiko, are you listening to me?" Haruue Erii pouted, asking with dissatisfaction.
... After hearing Haruue Erii's explanation, Saten Ruiko's recent joy from Awakening her Item plummeted to rock bottom.
Although she had expected...
Shirai Kuroko felt that Academy City had not been very peaceful recently, because the widespread use of Imagine Breaker had allowed some low-Rank Item users to achieve a Breakthrough.
They were still students, and their minds were not mature.
Coupled with the fact that the Item users who obtained Imagine Breaker were all self-destructive delinquents, the surrounding public order s...
Plunged into an ice cave, as if facing an abyss, the gang members at this moment could profoundly experience the terrifying pressure brought by these two idioms.
At this very moment, even breathing required consideration of whether it would anger the other party, fearing that an angry outburst might lead to their demise.
Shirai Kuroko rested her chin on her hands, sipping juice, l...
"Uh, is this the method you came up with, Onee-sama?" Shirai Kuroko asked, her mouth twitching, while feeling utterly hopeless.
"That's right, isn't this the simplest way?" Misaka Mikoto said earnestly, winking at Shirai Kuroko.
"...Alright...Alright, I belong to Onee-sama anyway. If Onee-sama wants to play this kind of game, then Kuroko...Kuroko can accept it! Ah~ Onee-sama~" Shi...
Saten Ruiko and Frenda successfully awakened their Items using Imagine Breaker, unaware that Shirai Kuroko and Haruue Erii were on the other side, painstakingly searching for the true nature of Imagine Breaker.
"I haven't seen Saten-san much lately?" Misaka Mikoto, at the 177th Branch of Judgment, asked, puzzled, while drinking coffee.
"Cough, cough, Saten-san seems to be busy wit...
"Alright, back to the main topic. You're already aware of Imagine Breaker's function; now I'll explain its side effects."
Rod's words brought the two girls' attention back.
"Forcing the brain to operate with another person's brainwaves will have a huge impact on the body's activities, meaning the user will experience a coma."
"This comatose state typically occurs in the Lat...
"So full, so full~" Frenda, without a shred of ladylike image, rubbed her slightly bulging stomach, her face filled with satisfaction as she lay on the tatami.
"Once you're done eating, hurry up and help clean." Saten Ruiko, who had silently pushed a cup of tea in front of Rod, said to Frenda.
"Eh~ I'm a guest." Frenda retorted, displeased.
"Do you want to eat mackerel curr...
"Please come in," Saten Ruiko said, opening her dorm room door and smiling as she invited the two inside.
"Excuse us," Rod took off his shoes and entered, immediately taking in the scene inside the dorm.
The dorm wasn't large, but it was well-equipped; a low table sat in the center, next to a single bed, and a desk was pressed against the window. The girl's room was clean and tidy...
Just as the Female Disciplinary Committee Member was calling for an ambulance, she subconsciously glimpsed Rod approaching the injured.
"This... Sir, please do not approach the injured to avoid secondary harm." The Female Disciplinary Committee Member's voice still trembled slightly, clearly not having recovered from her panic.
However, she couldn't allow unrelated personnel to to...
He briefly explained the concept of Curse Power to the girls, and when Saten Ruiko learned that Jujutsu was an innate Item that could not be Acquired later, her mood visibly plummeted. She became dispirited.
The fantasy of becoming a transcendent from another direction ended before it even began, and this disappointment caused Saten Ruiko to sigh repeatedly.
"Saten Ruiko." Seeing ...
"Then, Kiyama-sensei, please tell me the specific information about the car model and color, and I will use the surrounding surveillance equipment to search for it." Haruue Erii brought out a laptop, turning it on while speaking to Kiyama Harumi.
However, Kiyama Harumi's normally languid gaze trembled slightly when she heard the word 'sensei', and a hidden flash of sadness flickered in h...
"Hmm… so there isn't any more landmark-like building?" A slightly familiar voice rang out, catching Misaka Mikoto's attention.
Looking in the direction of the voice, she saw the Spiky Hair teenager asking a mature Young Miss something.
"A landmark, huh? Maybe just a sidewalk in front of it," the mature Young Miss replied in a lazy voice.
"A sidewalk doesn't really count a...
"Suddenly, a 'swish' sound!?"
"Swish?"
"He took off his shirt."
...Misaka Mikoto, Shirai Kuroko, and Haruue Erii all fell silent, unsure how to respond.
"Hey! That's not scary at all!" Misaka Mikoto slammed her hand on the table, pulling back the black cloth that had been specially placed to set the mood, and loudly complained.
This scene drew the attention of...
"Are you trying to murder someone?" Shirai Kuroko glared at Rod and shouted.
"No, no, no, why would I? Killing you wouldn't take so much effort." Rod shrugged indifferently, a terrifying statement delivered with a light chuckle.
"You bastard!?" Shirai Kuroko, unable to contain her anger, was about to rush forward and scuffle with Rod, but Haruue Erii, quick of eye and hand, stoppe...
"Mrs. Weasley, I found Harry!"
Leaving Knockturn Alley, Hermione and Harry made their way to Diagon Alley and immediately called out to the Weasleys, who were anxiously questioning passers-by.
"Oh, thank goodness! I thought even little Hermione had been sent to the wrong place," Molly sighed with relief, patting her chest.
"Where did you end up?" Ron asked Harry.
"Kn...
The next day I went back to school at night for training.
The training seems to be improving, I can control my wind steps a lot better and stance at swordsmanship improved, even my martial arts were improved than yesterday but I was still far from Kiba and Koneko.
But at least I was better than Issei who was still getting wrecked pretty hard.
My ...
