American Comics: BOSS Invasion

After Qishan left, Tatsuki Arisawa didn't sleep all night. She lay in bed, constantly replaying the things she had seen and the words Qishan had spoken to her.

Things had happened so suddenly that she felt as if the world had flipped open a new chapter, a new world appearing abruptly in her life.

The next morning, Tatsuki Arisawa went to school with dark circles under her eyes. Her classmates immediately noticed them, but no one made a big fuss, because, like Tatsuki, a portion of the class also came to school with dark circles.

At the same time, the series of explosions that occurred in Kabuki-cho last night were being spread with great detail. Even the news had started reporting on the recent sudden local earthquakes, telling everyone not to panic, and so on.

However, the vast majority of high school students didn't believe the government's claims. They were more inclined to believe that it might be a secret operation by some department to capture criminals.

They believed that powerful weapons were used, which was why such a situation occurred. Otherwise, how could an earthquake specifically target a single house?

Tatsuki Arisawa carefully observed and, as expected, Ichigo Kurosaki and Rukia Kuchiki didn't come to school.

What surprised Tatsuki even more was that the other two who were absent were Orihime Inoue and Yasutora Sado.

Could it be that the companions the mysterious person mentioned last night were these two? If that's the case…

Tatsuki Arisawa made a silent decision.

She slept through almost the entire day in class, being woken up and scolded by the teacher countless times. After enduring the difficult day, Tatsuki finally caught up on her sleep. When she returned home and finished dinner, she sat in her room waiting. If that person from yesterday hadn't lied, he would definitely appear again today to ask if she wanted to accept his guidance.

Sure enough, as the sky gradually darkened and the surroundings became silent,

when most of the merchants on the street had closed their doors and everyone was preparing to sleep, that strangely dressed fellow with two tragic green tear marks on his face appeared again at the door, as unremarkable as yesterday.

However, this time, Tatsuki Arisawa wasn't as wary as she had been yesterday. She simply looked calmly at Qishan and spoke before he could say anything.

"I accept your conditions. What kind of power can you teach me?"

"Strictly speaking, I haven't had a chance to discuss the conditions yet, but I'm very happy that you've agreed. No matter what kind of power you awaken, we will conduct a series of evaluations based on your aptitude level, as well as the potential height you can reach and the feasibility of training you. Only then will we determine whether you are qualified to join the Akatsuki organization. Before that, you are just an intern and don't need to know too much, and you are also free in your actions.

The general rules and responsibilities you need to fulfill are similar to those of the national defense agencies that save the world in ordinary comics. In short, you are required to live a double life. I believe you won't refuse this!"

Qishan wasn't too surprised, but he was a little more gentle at her agreement, explaining a few words. Seeing the determination in Tatsuki Arisawa's eyes, he didn't say any more nonsense.

The two sat cross-legged on the ground, with a distance of about two meters between them.

Qishan turned his palm upwards, revealing five different colored glass balls. He slowly placed these things on the ground, with the glass balls arranged in a neat row, about ten centimeters apart.

"The powers within the Akatsuki organization are numerous and complex. Moreover, after the basic stage, most of the powers will undergo various changes according to each person's attributes and will. But overall, they can still be divided into five categories!"

Qishan took out the initial black glass ball, shook it gently at Tatsuki Arisawa, then put it down again, and said, "The first type represents a very strange power. This power can turn you into an immortal monster, giving you powerful regenerative abilities. You can only retain a portion of your sanity, but it can make you more beautiful, even immortal. Are you interested?"

Tatsuki Arisawa showed a look of disgust: "How can you have such powers! A monster or something, isn't that too much?"

"It seems you clearly refuse!" Qishan picked up the black glass ball and gently crushed it. "A monster is just an adjective. Once you have left the category of human beings, you are also a monster in the eyes of other ordinary people. It's just a monster that can hide in the crowd and continue to enjoy human life. You don't need to dwell on this point!"

Then, Qishan picked up the second crystal-colored, slightly golden glass ball.

"The second power is more normal than the first, but there is a slight difference in how it is obtained. If you agree to this method, you will get a chance to make a wish to Shenron. Shenron's power is very strong, and it can almost fulfill all your wishes, but it cannot force the will of others. Moreover, the basis of the wish is your vision. If you are confident that you can still obtain power far beyond others with a wish, and that it can continue to grow, then this method is very suitable for you!"

What Qishan was talking about was of course Dragon Balls. Coming to this world, Dragon Balls were also activated again. If he made a wish now, he should be able to easily turn Tatsuki Arisawa into a Shinigami, or even a Quincy.

But it's just a seed of power. If you want to cultivate from scratch and become a truly powerful guy, the time required will definitely not be short.

Qishan put down the crystal-colored glass ball and picked up the third, somewhat eerie dark green glass ball, smiling slightly.
