Multiverse: Why does the world show a health bar? !

Rensa

She was a nurse at a university-affiliated hospital in District 3. Dressed in a pink nurse's uniform with a woolen coat draped over it, her hair was neatly tied up under her nurse's cap, and her nails were well-trimmed, free of any polish.

**Li Mo**: "In terms of appearance, you share no similarities with Director Yakumi."

"That's correct, respected Director Li," Rensa replied softly.

She was indeed a nurse, but if that were all, Li Mo wouldn't have gone to Yakumi Hisako to secure temporary usage rights for Rensa. Even those rights came with the condition that she not be damaged. When Yakumi Hisako agreed, she had hesitated noticeably.

Usage rights, damage—yes, Rensa was not truly human. Except for her hypothalamus, her entire body had been mechanized. She was a mechanical being. The so-called skin was merely an illusion created by advanced technology.

To be precise, she was created by Academy City to deal with the rampages and rebellions of **Espers**.

**Li Mo**: "As far as I know, you can use the abilities of the top six Espers, including the sixth-ranked one? I never expected Yakumi Hisako to have data on the sixth-ranked Esper's abilities."

"Director Li, the information regarding the sixth-ranked Esper is classified as top-secret. What I possess is only his ability. Moreover, this ability requires assistance from others, so I rarely use it."

"I understand. With Accelerator's ability, why bother using anyone else's? The first-ranked Esper is the most unique among all Espers."

Li Mo recalled Rensa's combat performance. Not only could she use the abilities of the top six Espers, but she could also deploy **Black Wings** and **White Wings** like Accelerator—something he had never imagined could be replicated.

Seeing Rensa now, he dug up this memory.

But in the end, it was just the power of the **Osiris** era. Li Mo didn't need such external strength.

**Li Mo**: "The reason I brought you over from Yakumi Hisako is simple: I want to study you." He paused, then added, "I know that Kihara Yuiitsu has all the data on you, but having the actual product in front of me is more concrete than cold data."

"Director Li, Kihara Yuiitsu's research institute is—"

"Is that so? Miss Rensa, let's get out of the car."

The two were in a car, with Rensa, dressed in her nurse's uniform, driving. For a mechanized being, driving a car was effortless. Their destination was Kihara Yuiitsu's research institute.

Today was February 28th, and the war had escalated. Multiple countries had been drawn into the conflict, with Academy City and Russia already clashing.

Initially, the United States did not support Academy City, but when Russian missiles were intercepted one by one by Academy City's anti-missile defenses, panic and war swept across American soil. As a result, American politicians had no choice but to align with Academy City—Academy City was a state within a state, and to wage war against it would require crossing American territory.

If the U.S. remained neutral, Russia would demand that bombers fly over American airspace. Could they gamble on the possibility that the bombers wouldn't strike their land? Politicians, being spineless, took the opportunity to step down from the brink.

From the current conflict between Academy City and Russia, Academy City was clearly winning. The technological gap of 20-30 years was overwhelming. Not to mention, Russia also had to deal with the Independent State Alliance of Elizalina to its west.

Yet, no matter how the war progressed, Academy City remained as peaceful as ever—students still had to attend classes.

Kihara Yuiitsu's research institute was located in District 7, where she and Kihara Gensei usually resided. This was to accommodate Gensei's role as Aleister's top enforcer.

**Kihara Yuiitsu**: "Did you bring Rensa?"

"Yes. Are the conditions ready? After the inspection, we'll begin Director Yakumi's experiment."

"You've figured out the **Density Computer**?" Kihara Yuiitsu asked suspiciously.

"A computing device that performs high-speed calculations based on fluid dynamics. Only Academy City could create something like this."

The theoretical foundation of the **Density Computer** was based on Dr. Matsudaira's *"Viscosity, Density, and the Future of Next-Generation Computing Devices."* Li Mo's scientific knowledge wasn't advanced enough to understand the principles, but based on the theory, he could make practical use of it.

The wonder of magic lies in this: while science requires repeated experiments to find precise numerical ranges, magic can perform fuzzy calculations.

Sophistry, deception, and blurring specific requirements are the essence of magic.

Time passed quickly, and soon, Rensa left alone, leaving Li Mo and Kihara Yuiitsu behind.

**Li Mo**: "Is Yakumi Hisako really that confident in me?" Li Mo sat in the lounge, speaking to Kihara Yuiitsu.

Today's work hours were over, and Kihara Yuiitsu needed to go home to prepare dinner for her teacher, so she had to leave early.

**Kihara Yuiitsu**: "No, she's confident in me. Even without you, Yakumi Hisako's plans would proceed. Do you know about the **Human Resource Project**?" Kihara Yuiitsu removed her white lab coat, revealing her figure in a tight-fitting outfit, and grabbed a spare coat.

**Li Mo**: "How would I know about a plan that hasn't been executed?"

"The original focus of the plan was **Fremea Seivelun**."

"Oh, really? But I feel like that child is just a backup option for the plan. Besides, isn't that irrelevant now? She'll have to remove Fremea from the list."

**Kihara Yuiitsu**: "Seems like you know a lot, huh?"

The woman remembered her teacher saying that Li Mo knew many things. It was as if he had drunk from the fountain of wisdom, able to see through the future.

**Li Mo**: "Well... I know a little. Yuiitsu, do you want to tell me more?"

"Becoming an **AIM Being** is not the goal; it's a condition," Kihara Yuiitsu decisively revealed Yakumi Hisako's secret.

**Li Mo**: "Oh, I see. Not to become a god, but to surpass a god? It's the same logic as **Fiamma of the Right**."

Find a target and surpass it. Fiamma of the Right's goal was to transcend 'God.'

**Kihara Yuiitsu**: "Fiamma of the Right, the **Right Seat of God**?"

Li Mo shrugged. "Is the data from Rensa sufficient?"

"Yes, with the original data, we can create the **Drive Suit**. Have you chosen the candidate?"

Kihara Yuiitsu didn't need the Drive Suit herself. She had all the data and could replicate it on her own.

**Li Mo**: "I've chosen. I won't be coming here often in the future. Are you sure the blood drawn today is enough?"

"It's enough."

"Alright then, see you in the future."

Kihara Yuiitsu watched Li Mo leave, lost in thought. His nature couldn't be studied with current technology. From his DNA, it was clear he wasn't human—he was a genuine monster.

How to utilize such material was a complicated matter.

Next, Kihara Yuiitsu looked forward to the collaboration between Li Mo and Yakumi Hisako.

"He seems to be going along with Yakumi Hisako's plans. Hisako is playing with fire, using another director as an anchor point. It's too dangerous."

But... that's what makes it interesting.

Even if Yakumi Hisako fails, it will still be valuable experimental data, right?

Kihara Yuiitsu then detached herself from the matter, staying out of it.
