"… turned into a human?"
Aiwass—an angel without gender—should now be called "she." She lowered her gaze to her trembling hands, and for the first ti, a strong emotion broke through her normally detached voice. This was a human emotion, not sothing belonging to an angel.
"This can't be… the power of the phase has vanished…"
Becoming human ant she'd lost all her power as a Physical Angel.
"Congratulations on your rebirth," Rei Ao said nonchalantly.
"Now go experience that human life you were so curious about."
Before Aiwass could respond—
Snap!
He snapped his fingers. In an instant, the newly made Aiwass vanished from where she stood. As to where she might appear in the world, or what she'd go through, Rei Ao couldn't care less.
Whether she lived or died was none of his concern.
Watching this, Awaki Musuji was utterly paralyzed with terror. The power to arbitrarily rewrite soone's entire form of existence was beyond anything she could fathom.
"Now, it's just the two of us," Rei Ao said, his focus returning to Awaki. His fingers played idly with a strand of her red hair.
"Wh-what are you planning to do…?"
Awaki forced her voice not to tremble, but she failed.
Rei Ao suddenly leaned close, whispering right in her ear, "Your ability is quite good in Academy City, but you do have psychological trauma, don't you?"
"Every ti you teleport yourself, you rember that accident—picturing how your body got stuck in the wall."
"!!!"
Awaki froze as if struck by lightning, her complexion draining.
"H-how do you know…? There's no record of that anywhere…"
"I know more than you think."
He nodded toward Aleister. In the next second, Aleister's body started disintegrating from the feet upward into countless particles of light, scattering into the air.
"For instance, I know Academy City needs a new master."
Watching the Superintendent vanish, Awaki felt a wrenching pain in her gut.
"You killed him…"
"No. I gave him an eternal punishnt," Rei Ao corrected.
"From now on, Academy City belongs to . You may call the General Superintendent."
"Why should I listen to you?"
Awaki gathered her courage to retort.
Rei Ao smiled, and that alone made her heart quail. She held no power to fight him.
"I can give you anything you desire—strength, safety, and…"
He reached out, lightly brushing her collarbone.
"…release."
As Rei Ao's fingertips touched her, Awaki felt a warm current flow into her body. The nightmarish mory that had haunted her for years—the horrifying mont she lost control of her power and got stuck in a wall—suddenly felt distant and blurred. In its place was a sense of unprecedented clarity, as if the shackles binding her had been removed.
"With just a flick of my fingers, your psychological trauma is healed," Rei Ao said, making a startling claim.
"Try using your ability."
"???"
Still reeling, Awaki decided to test it. She hesitated, but then activated her ability. Instantly, her body shimred and teleported a few dozen ters away. No dizziness, no terror, no flashbacks of gore. Her body felt no side effects at all!
"I… I can control it now?"
Awaki stared in disbelief at her own hands.
"Not just that."
With a snap of Rei Ao's fingers, Awaki sensed another surge of power within her. The clearest sign was how extraordinarily lucid her mind felt, how her calculations ca effortlessly.
"You are now Academy City's eighth Level 5, no longer that half-baked 'Guidepost.'"
"Gah…!"
She sucked in a breath. Her heart hamred in her chest. Achieving genuine Level 5 status had always been her dream, because in Academy City, only espers at the top had any real clout.
She hated being stuck as a re teleportation "Guidepost." And now her dream had co true—just like that, thanks to this mysterious man. Fear and excitent wrestled in her mind.
After a mont's hesitation, she chose not to flee and returned to Rei Ao.
"Why are you helping ?" she asked softly.
Rei Ao tilted her chin up, forcing her to et his cosmic-like eyes.
"Because you're not bad to look at."
His thumb brushed her lower lip.
"You should know I don't waste my ti on those who don't catch my eye."
The searing gaze—like it pierced every inch of her skin—made Awaki's knees go weak. Initially, she was terrified by his power, his mystery, and the way he upended her world.
But now, after gaining so much from him and understanding his intentions, he wasn't as terrifying. Add to that Rei Ao's nearly inhuman attractiveness, and she felt simultaneously frightened and captivated.
Like a moth to the fla, she was drawn to him.
Logic told her to run or she'd be devoured without a trace, but her body wanted to get closer.
She attempted to rise on her toes to offer him her lips, but was t by his hand.
"Heh, that's not how you pledge your submission," Rei Ao teased.
"Kneel."
Awaki realized she couldn't resist his command. Her knees bent of their own accord, and she ended up kneeling before him. From that angle, she couldn't help noticing…
Her face burned.
"You know what to do, right?"
Rei Ao said playfully. "This city's education is quite 'scientific.' Even if you're still…inexperienced, you must have had so sort of biology lessons."
"…"
Already grasping his aning, Awaki nodded dully.
"Good. Then let's begin."
"O-okay."
Clenching her teeth, she took a deep breath. Awaki's trembling hands moved forward.
From that mont on, "Guidepost" Awaki Musuji's destiny began to change.
