'...%￥＃...%...'
Saiki Kusuo was at a loss for words, standing frozen for several seconds before finally snapping out of it. He could only walk away from the movie theater in a daze.
'What kind of day is this...?'
'If I had used my telepathy earlier, I would've known the movie theater was closed today... And I wouldn't have gotten caught up in this ridiculous situation.'
'No, no, stay calm. It's just a movie. I can always watch it tomorrow since I have the ring now... Stay calm.'
As he thought this, Saiki Kusuo walked back toward his dorm, putting the ring away.
Just then, he heard a very familiar voice.
[Shizuku lives around here, right? Yes, yes, I remember the freshmen live in this building!]
[It's all that damn glasses guy's fault! If it weren't for him, I could've touched Shizuku's personal camera, felt her warmth, seen her private photos, and even gotten her phone number! Then I could find her anytime!]
[Damn it, that glasses guy ruined my chance! But Shizuku will come out eventually, right? If I wait here, I'll definitely see her!]
'Yare yare, so I run into you, huh?'
Saiki Kusuo's eyebrow twitched slightly. The voice belonged to the clerk from earlier, who had found the dorm building where Sakura Airi lived and was now staking it out, hoping to meet her.
A full-blown stalker.
'I was planning to teach you a lesson, but you came to me on your own? Perfect, perfect! It's not like I was planning to vent my frustrations or anything!'
Saiki Kusuo activated his invisibility, hiding his presence as he quietly followed the man, whose mind was filled with disgusting thoughts.
Saiki Kusuo was ready to act.
'There are a few cameras around.'
Saiki Kusuo used his telekinesis to move the nearby security cameras, turning their lenses away.
Now, there were no cameras watching.
'Now it's your turn!'
Saiki Kusuo raised his hand, and the clerk was suddenly lifted into the air as if by an invisible giant.
"What's going on?! What's happening?!"
Before the clerk could react, Saiki Kusuo twisted his hand slightly, and the clerk began spinning in mid-air like a yo-yo. However, Saiki Kusuo controlled the speed and force to avoid turning the clerk into butter, like in a certain story.
[What's happening—aaahhhhh!]
The clerk didn't even have time to scream, but his mind was screaming nonstop.
After a minute, the spinning finally stopped. The clerk was completely disoriented, unable to stand, and could only crouch on the ground, vomiting.
[＃￥￥...%＆%＆￥...]
His brain was completely unable to process what was happening.
'It's not over yet.'
Saiki Kusuo's lips curled into a slight smile.
First, he used his powers to take control of the clerk's phone, canceling the anonymity of his account and exposing all the perverted comments he had made online.
Then, Saiki Kusuo snapped his fingers, and the clerk's clothes instantly tore apart, leaving him almost naked and kneeling on the ground.
[What's happening?! What's going on?! There's a ghost! A ghost, a ghost!!!!!]
The series of supernatural phenomena had completely terrified the clerk. He had no idea what was happening and even began to think he was hallucinating.
"Hey, what are you doing?!"
At that moment, several security guards from the school arrived. They immediately spotted the clerk and rushed over to restrain him.
Judging by their movements, these guards were no ordinary people. After all, this was a government-funded elite school, and the clerk had no chance of resisting.
"We just received an anonymous report from a student about a pervert lurking near the dormitory. So it's you! You've got some nerve!"
The security guards scolded him harshly.
Saiki Kusuo watched from a distance. It was he who had anonymously reported the clerk to the school security.
The clerk, now almost completely naked, looked exactly like a pervert—oh wait, he was a pervert.
"I... I didn't do anything!"
The clerk desperately tried to defend himself, scrambling for an excuse.
"I... I was just following a high school girl!"
After saying this, he froze, completely shocked that he had blurted out such a confession—thanks to Saiki Kusuo's intervention.
"Well, well, are you trying to provoke us? Have you lost all sense of decency? Doing something like this on school grounds is a serious crime!"
"No, no, no! I... I just experienced something supernatural! There's a ghost, a ghost here! I was suddenly lifted into the air..."
"It seems there's also a mental health issue here. Headquarters, headquarters, we need backup..."
As more security guards arrived, the incident was finally brought to a close.
With no surveillance footage, no one would believe the clerk's outrageous claims.
Supernatural phenomena? Ghosts? Who would believe that?
Watching the perverted clerk being taken away, Saiki Kusuo nodded slightly.
'I feel much better now. If I had left that guy alone, he might have caused a lot of trouble at school. It's better to deal with him early.'
Saiki Kusuo thought to himself.
No matter what, that clerk would never be allowed back on school grounds. He would either face serious legal consequences or be sent to a mental institution. Either way, it was a service to society.
Looking up at the sky, it was now completely dark.
"It's already this late? Well, since I'm here, I might as well take care of that idiot's problem too. Daichi Ishizaki and the others from Class D, right?"
Saiki Kusuo then quickly made his way toward the Class D dormitory building.
