My System: An Evolved Computer I Made With My Unique Ability—

Chapter 76 Fleshy Blob



The fleshy blob of something that was once human grew into an enormous size until it became conspicuous to all the visitors of the amusement park— too obvious, in fact, that even Sana's group saw it just when they were entering the premises.

"What's that, a new attraction? Looks disgusting." Hiroshi was the first one to call it out, even though everyone thought the same thing. As for Kirisaki Sana, she immediately felt the danger emanating from within the amusement park and decided to prepare herself, just in case.

"Stay behind me." She told everyone, waving her hand behind her as if she was gesturing to a bunch of kids in a kindergarten setting. A bead of sweat flowed from her temples to her chin as the anxiety was getting to her, she didn't even notice that Satoshi was right behind her, and she was blocking his way with his hand.

Screams from the nearby attraction were already imminent but Satoshi and the others ruled it off as people enjoying the sights. After all, screams in an amusement park aren't that big of a deal, especially when the attraction was as grotesque as the one they were seeing right now. It may not be child-friendly but it is certainly scream-inducing.

A half-wail and shriek came out from the fleshy blob once again, causing chills to run down up and down Sana's spine as she cautiously approached the eye-catching scene. She didn't know why she was being drawn there but as it turned out, she wasn't the only one. A lot of guests were already flocking the weird entity when they got there.

Sana was expecting a unique yet enjoyable experience on that certain attraction but when she got there along with the rest of the inter-high candidates, she realized that it was pure pandemonium from there on out. People were yelling their lungs out in a panic-stricken manner as bits and pieces of flesh shot out from the blob monster. There were already authorities on the scene and some superheroes who were assessing the situation. One of which was a red-haired man who was firing off some red beams from the tips of his fingers. Satoshi immediately recognized the man since he was actually pretty famous. After all, the game Laser-fingers was based on his superpower.

"Wait, isn't that— Red Velvet! Glad you're here!" Sei called out after gathering all his fingers into five points before firing off what looked like a spiraling cylinder of lasers that went through the blob. However, the fleshy blob just let out a weakened moan before the portion of its body regenerated.

After doing a side somersault and crawling out of the danger zone, Sei arrived in front of Red Velvet aka Kirisaki Sana. "I don't think I'll be able to beat this guy alone, can you do something about it? Got any food on you?"

(Kirisaki Sana, superhero name— Red Velvet, has the power to imbue certain buffs on food she cooks. However, she prefers to bake dessert more than cook meals for different people. Her superpower is the support type, and she's easily one of the best support types around. This was what earned her the right to become a teacher in the USA.)

"I got some cupcakes on me... they're strawberry-flavored though. I also got some macarons on me... still strawberry flavored." Red Velvet twiddled her thumbs while explaining, fully knowing that Sei really hated strawberries or anything with that said flavor.

"Urgh~ well, it's not like I've got any choice. What buffs do you have?" He continued.

"Strength enhancement, sense enhancement, superpower enhancement, speed enhancement, recovery enhancement... and regeneration enhancement. Take your pick."

"I'll take all of them except the last one then." Sei continued.

Satoshi and the others watched as Sana handed the red-haired guy some macarons she kept in her backpack. Until now, they still haven't seen how their teacher's superpower works, they've only ever heard of it. And well, the situation was a bit hectic so they thought that it would be best if they kept quiet and just watch everything unfold. 'As expected of professional superheroes, they're always quick to act... always ready as well. If it were me I'd have forgotten to use my support-type superpower when the moment of truth comes' Satoshis said to himself.

With a gulp, Sei nervously stared at the macarons on his hand, his face making an expression of genuine disgust and slight hatred towards the snack. Glancing towards the blob that continued to grow bigger and shoot out fleshy smaller blobs, he took in the gravity of the situation and shifted his gaze back at the macarons, which he imagined were staring back at him with nothing but contempt. He knew that desperate times call for desperate measures, but never would he have thought that the desperate measures could be quite— well, desperate indeed.

After mustering his courage a couple of times, he gulped once more before shutting down his nostrils so he won't smell the smell of strawberry, he then ate all the macarons and downed them with water. But even then, he felt his gag reflex activating— just the mere thought of eating strawberry made him feel as if he'd throw up at any given moment. His eyes were tearing up as he stared at Red Velvet as if begging for mercy.

Meanwhile, Red Velvet covered her mouth and tried not to laugh at the expression Sei was wearing at the moment. However, she couldn't suppress it, the sight was just too laughable to pass up. Before she knew it, she was already slapping her knees while laughing to her heart's content. "I never thought you'd really eat it. You know, Sei, there's a reason why I always bring strawberry-flavored desserts with me."

"Yeah, talk about perfect timing Anyways, thanks for the treat! I'll try not to throw up in the middle of the fight." Sei motioned, his eyes turning a brighter shade of red as the buffs from the macarons kicked in and activated. It was like he was on drugs because of how buffed up he felt. Well, Red Velvet's power was like drugs, to begin with.

"Also, can you call any superhero you know? I'm having quite a hard time dealing with this guy." Sei continued, popping a thumb towards the fleshy blob.

"What happened to him?"

While everyone was receiving a rundown of what happened before everything turned out like that, Satoshi slipped from the group and went to the other side of the blob. From afar, he could tell that the sun was setting on the horizon and it won't be long before the night comes. A strong breeze was blowing past as well, signifying the soon-coming rain that would transpire a few hours from now.

Not only would it be hard for superheroes to fight at night, but it would also eat away a lot of their time since they won't be able to enjoy their visit to the amusement park while the fleshy blob continues its rampage.

"What should I do... " Satoshi had a lot of options in mind but he couldn't get a concrete idea of what he'll do. Suddenly, his eyes landed on the huge swimming pool right in the middle of the amusement park. This swimming pool was currently devoid of humans since the people there were the first ones to get away when the blob appeared. With that scene in front of him, a smile spread across Satoshi's face as his plan formulated itself.

As usual, he grabbed his Orb Oboros and summoned his 'Droplet' familiar, dropping it on the swimming pool and waiting for it to take over the entire thing. Meanwhile, he rode on his 'Nailgun' again and started flying all over the fleshy blob without the consent of the authorities, superheroes, and even his peers and teacher. Right now, the only thing in his mind was to defeat the blob and get everything over with so everyone in the amusement park could continue on with their enjoyment. Fortunately, there weren't any damages done by the blob yet.

"Random bullsh't go!" Satoshi muttered under his breath, remembering a certain meme that he saw way back when he was still a kid. As he said that, he started firing off nails at the fleshy blob at a rapid pace, but since the blob was too soft, the nails just go through its body and get stuck midway before even piercing it. That was Satoshi's plan though because the next thing he did was summon his White Lion, telling it to unleash a powerful lightning bolt... well, nails are actually pretty good electricity conductors.

"P*kachu! Use thunderbolt!" Satoshi screamed, then he felt a bit weird since that was one of the lines he never wanted to say in public. But then again, he was right in the middle of a serious incident so having little side jokes here and there actually helped, rather than focusing too much on the negatives.

Right then, the fleshy blob screamed a dying scream, unlike before when Sei was shooting off lasers from his fingers. This time, it was obvious that the fleshy blob felt pain being transmitted in him as lightning coursed all over his gigantic flesh of a body.

"SATOSHI! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Red Velvet screamed from the ground. Meanwhile, Sei was already running around the fleshy blob, initiating an assist for Satoshi since he'd rested quite enough already.

"This kid, taking the spotlight from me," Sei smiled to himself, joining in the fray.
