Well, looks like shit is going down. Didn't expect for the kid to get shot.

Thanks for the chapter.

 

[Lithe]

The perfect timing of the realization to the drama + the kid getting the brunt of it is just too much.

Couldn't they just have an ordinary-good fight without this artificial timer?

 

[Levankua]

Whew wonder what our hero can do spur of the moment given his power's restrictions

 

[greatninja3]

Kill all of them please

They tried to kill the loli that’s capital punishment in the anime world

I’m going to guess the ability is acceleration/deceleration, judging by the bullets and the blocked attacks. In that case, considering he threw identical bullets, his weakness is controlling only one type of object at a time, and it also requires physical contact. It’s pretty similar to the Executioner from Darwin’s Game, although much more limited in application. Can he fly using that power, then? Or mess with the acceleration of gravity on himself or something?

Another possible weakness is parallel trajectories, where all the active objects have the same direction of acceleration, in which case he can’t block simultaneous attacks from differing angles. If that’s the case, he won’t have any weakness on blocking multiple types of objects, which would mean attacking with two different attacks from the same angle would be ineffective. It’s also possible he could reflect any projectiles, but on the other hand it seems his acceleration might have a fixed force strength. It can fling bullets of low mass fast, but only momentarily stop Yuuri’s kick (her leg isn’t frozen on contact with him, she can move again after blocking).

Another possibility is from Yuuri’s leg block, where she recovers. It may also indicate a cooldown time for his ability, or he would have flung Yuuri away with the ability.

It is Going to be pretty hard to the protag to use his ability, but I'm sure they can menage(it would be pretty surprising for me if the kid dies)

 

[Wanderdoodle]

Idk why but I'm so bother that they lied to his wife about him coming back. She'll just be forever left hoping that one day, he'll come back. I think deep down she knows they're lying but still I wish they told her the truth so she can finally grieve properly

Damn, wasn't expecting the imouto to take a bullet. I thought for sure that Shirasagi's widow would have her house torched or something.

 

[ToraTaiga]

Nice shot! Poror the kid, and thats is how this series become unpopular. Thanks for the chapter.

I don't know if it's the art or what, but the last few pages reminded me of HxH.

 

[exxp]

Damn

 

[ohms]

@piay123 it's the aura from those ability users. And since you mentioned, now I know why the art looks familiar. I believe this mangaka might work as an assistant for HxH's author before he was debuted.

Thank you Paean scans!

This is getting intense. I hope Lilia doesn't kick the bucket

 

[cheslie]

thanks for the chapter!

 

[Wataterp]

HOW DARE YOU HURT THE LOLI!!!!!!!!!!

 

[nyaasar]

CALL LPA, the Loli Protection Agency.

To me it shows how high the stakes are. The enemies are not afraid to stoop low to get what they want. I mean last round the red team wanted kids and the elderly wiped out if they won. I like how intense every thing is.
