The Infinite Journey of the Sage

Chapter 017 A part-time job

"What a beautiful strike. The no-beat technique in martial arts is really amazing!" Keilar walked out, clapping his hands.

"Feet, are you okay?" he asked.

In fact, what he asked was not the feet, but "I only have a boot on one leg, can I walk back?" 】

"It's okay." Gun Narcissus, who was slightly lame because he didn't have a boot on one foot, nodded and said.

Keilar squatted down and checked Accelerator's condition. There was nothing serious, just an ordinary concussion.

He picked up Accelerator and walked into the store.

Gun Narcissus also followed behind him. As a winner, she should enjoy what she should have as a matter of course.

Still a serving of banana milk and a half-price lunch.

Because of the half-price bento, she only spent more than three hundred yen.

Keilal placed Accelerator in the employee lounge at the corner, and after helping her pay the bill, he turned around and looked at the thin boy.

He is Academy City's No. 1, right? Is it really okay to hang out outside during this time?

Keilar patted his head and thought about it. Indeed, according to their skills, it would not be a big deal even if they wandered out for a day and a night. Who else could do anything to them?

But is it really good to let these children have this kind of power? Keilal frowned, instinctively feeling that the whole thing was not quite right.

It is obvious that no matter how Shibuya-style Mugino Shiri dresses and no matter how she looks like a bitch, she is actually just a girl in her early twenties, and this boy is only sixteen or seventeen years old. He definitely didn't look grown up.

You must know that adults are only 20 years old in Japan (although you can get married at 18 years old), and these minors have such huge power, is it really good? !

Or maybe the person who controls Academy City has ulterior motives.

Keilal was thinking in his mind when Accelerator slowly woke up.

"Are you awake?" Keilal asked, leaning against the door.

He was about to close the door. All the doors were closed, leaving only a small door for purchasing goods. Naturally, he didn't care about these small things.

"I...lost?" He didn't listen to Keilal's words at all, looking at his pale hands, he said in disbelief.

"What's so surprising about this?" Keilar opened a can of tea for himself and took a sip.

"I'm No. 1!" He raised his head and shouted angrily.

"What's wrong with No. 1?" Keilar crossed his hands and took a sip of the drink in the other hand: "Even if you are strong and ranked first in Academy City, you are not invincible. There is no one in this world. Being invincible, as long as you find a way, even the No. 1 can be easily killed." Keilar sipped tea: "Being like her without a beat just now is a kind of martial arts. , although I don’t know why, but it is obviously your nemesis, and he was killed the moment he was approached.”

"That is to say, your actual hand-to-hand combat effectiveness is extremely low. Once you lose your superpowers, even a little girl with ordinary training can beat you, right?" Keilal said sarcastically next to him, but in fact it was Instructing Accelerator.

"And I see that your figure is obviously 15 or 6 years old, but you are so thin. It is obvious that you have not eaten well before this. You are obviously using your super power to bully others, right? If one day they target you , if your superpower fails to work, what will you do that day? Will you let others slaughter you?"

"Haha, who would develop something with ineffective superpowers?" Accelerator said with a smile.

"Sa, you are No. 1, right? In that case, you basically represent the highest achievement level in the entire Academy City. If that's the case, you must be often targeted, right? Whether it's people in the technology world thinking Are they trying to defeat you to prove their scientific research results, are they superpowers who want to defeat you and get the first place, or are they magicians outside? For you, they all want to try their best to prove themselves." Kailar said calmly. .

The most taboo thing about speaking is to be shallow and deep. Keilar said this. If he still can't figure it out, then it only proves that Academy City's No. 1 is at this level and is not worth paying too much attention to. .

He was silent for a long time, until Keilal called out: "Are you okay? My place is closing, do you want to go back?"

"Please wait a moment, give me a little more time. I want to buy something." Accelerator stood up unsteadily and looked a little haggard. However, he was very pale, so he couldn't tell how haggard he was. What's coming.

He selected three cans of coffee in the refrigerator and staggered to the checkout counter.

"You didn't have dinner, right?" Keilal asked.

He raised his head and looked at Keilal strangely.

"I have another lunch here, take it." He said, taking it, but still swiped it on the cash register.

Accelerator looked at Keilal with strange eyes, then moved his lips and said something he had never said before, and even Keilal didn't hear clearly.

"Thanks."

Kelal didn't hear his thank you, which was no different from the sound of a mosquito. He just put his coffee into a plastic bag, one can at a time, and said: "Kid, drink less coffee, especially at night. Drink some, you should drink more milk when you are growing taller and don’t eat those non-nutritious things.”

"It's so noisy, you don't have to worry about my affairs." Accelerator said unhappily, but anyone who has seen his arrogance will know that he has completely lost his usual toughness and confidence.

"Shenge is 555 yen in total." Kailar stretched out his hand and said.

After digging in his pocket for a while, Accelerator lost 600 yuan on the counter, but Kelal found 45 yuan back and said, "Wait for me, let's go out directly through the back door."

"Tsk." Accelerator hummed from his teeth, but did not refuse.

After Keilal turned off all the electrical appliances and only secured the refrigerator, the two walked out of the back door.

Accelerator looked at the bag of lunch that Keilal was carrying, and Accelerator didn't say anything. It wasn't until he started walking that he realized that the two of them were actually walking in the same direction.

"You are the number one among Academy City's superpowers, right?" Keilar suddenly asked, breaking the silence between the two.

"Yeah, what's wrong?" Accelerator asked unhappily. This is a typical defensive personality in psychology. He uses words to stimulate others to protect himself and stay away from himself.

"Seeing that you are still walking down the street so leisurely so late at night, do you want to come and try a part-time job in my convenience store?" the silver-haired man asked.
