[By the way, Nanashi, have you heard about a recent famous rumor?]
“…Rumor?”
[Yes, there’s a rumor that Sentum Tower will be restored soon. Plus, a new teacher is joining the Student Council.]
“Um.”
As expected, information about Sentum Tower and the new teacher soon spread not long after.
The content stated that Sentum Tower, which had been halted for nearly a month, would soon be restored, and the new teacher coming from outside Kiburatos would be the one to implement the solution.
Some dismissed it as just a rumor, but those in the know understood. The source of this rumor was most likely the Student Council.
The Student Council’s silence without denying the rumor speaks volumes, doesn’t it?
“I see.”
[…Such a lackluster reaction. I expected more of an emotional response from you since you’ve suffered more than anyone when Sentum Tower stopped.]
“That… I’d already anticipated it.”
[Is it your hunch again? I really start to think your so-called hunch is nothing but a supernatural phenomenon every time this happens. Don’t you think you should investigate it someday, Nanashi?]
“Haha…”
Honestly, I can’t deny it.
By now, calling it a “supernormal sense” feels almost inadequate given how strong it has become.
Since I showed such a flat reaction, Himari seemed to lose interest and I heard her sniff from somewhere close.
With a wry smile, I decided to quickly switch topics and urged Himari.
“Senpai, could you please tell me the position?”
[Of course. Hmm, Nanashi keeps using me as a universal navigator. How disrespectful to exploit the greatest genius and frail girl from Millennium this way. By the way, there’s one guy behind the pillar 5 meters in front of you.]
“Understood.”
While expressing her complaints, Himari still meticulously checked the enemies’ positions and informed me.
Following her instructions, I rushed to the pillar, swiftly subdued the enemy, and then launched a web and hung him in the air.
“Aaaaah!”
“That makes twenty-three. Are we done?”
[Yes. There’s no more bio-reaction detected now. Let’s get out of here. I’ve already contacted Valkyrie.]
“Understood.”
At Himari’s prompt to escape quickly, I turned around and looked at what I had created.
Well, not exactly a massacre. I just tied up all the villains and hung them to the ceiling. They’ll probably experience blood rushing to the head and sore legs, but do I really need to care about such details for these bad guys?
I quickly slipped out of the building as the villains beneath me hurled various insults.
The Valkyrie’s siren soon sounded from behind just as I launched a web to fly in the sky. That fast, huh?
“Feels like they’re faster than before.”
[Why wouldn’t they be? It’s your fault, Nanashi.]
“Eh? Me?”
Why me?
I haven’t done anything yet.
[…Not really. Because you’ve taken over all the incidents from D.U trying to adapt to your strange hunches, that’s why Valkyrie is like this.]
“Ah.”
So it’s because I’ve been taking over Valkyrie’s work?
‘Soon anyway, I’ll broaden my operations as planned, and Valkyrie’s work should gradually increase.’
Once Sentum Tower is restored, I’ll gradually decrease my activity in D.U and increase my activities in other autonomous areas to participate in the main story and event stories.
Because unlike D.U, it’s impossible to obtain information by intercepting Valkyrie’s radio communications, so I need to become more accustomed to utilizing my senses. Thus, I spend all day spreading my senses to detect incidents.
Conversely, in combat situations, I drastically limit these supernormal senses and use them solely for hazard detection.
This too is one method of training to be able to adjust the range of my supernormal senses freely at a critical time.
“Right, Senpai Himari, have you heard anything separately from the Engineering Department recently?”
[No, it’s still quiet. It seems like the content of the equipment you requested is just too absurd.]
“Hmm. Can’t really deny that.”
The ‘Vibranium Shield’ I requested this time is difficult to fully replicate with current scientific technology.
So I only asked for some of the key functions, but even that isn’t possible to make instantly.
Of course, Utaha set it on fire saying she’d manage somehow…
Honestly, I don’t know how it’ll turn out.
I just have to trust our Engineering Department.

– The time has come.
Suddenly, such a phrase passed through my mind.
I didn’t feel baffled or surprised. Knowing this was expected, it was just a ‘So it’s finally here,’ kind of feeling.
I stood up, dressed, and told the members who were still focused on something else as they were.
“Senior, Amy. I’ll be out for a little while.”
“Where are you going?”
“Just for a bit to D.U. Looks like they’ve arrived.”
“Wait, what- Are you saying the rumored ‘teacher’ is here right now?!”
I nodded lightly in response to her question.
Himari widened her mouth in astonishment at my calm reply, and even Amy looked flustered and stared at me.
“Really, such a supernatural phenomenon?”
“Right, how could you possibly detect that distance…”
The two of them soon turned their gaze into one of an explorer ready to capture me for research.
I welcomed studying my abilities, but today only, I’d rather decline. Because-
Today was the day the story of this world begins.
I put on a mask on my face and soared through the sky instantly, heading through Millennium’s territory straight towards D.U.
Passing countless buildings I’ve jumped over countless times, I arrived finally at the Student Council building, when my senses suddenly focused on one direction, catching the presence there.
“…”
Four students from various academies could be seen, followed by one ‘man’.
A gender that doesn’t exist in this world, no halo atop his head, and completely unarmed.
The teacher. The true protagonist of this world.
He is alive and moving. Leading students, taking down the unruly individuals blocking his path.
“Wow…”
I let out an exclamation while watching.
I sat on the rooftop, carefully observing every action he made. The scenes unrepresented in the game because they were just in 2D were being staged in reality.
For a moment, I considered helping, but decided against it.
This wasn’t just any scene; it was the prologue. It wouldn’t do to intervene.
‘Let’s just observe.’
It’s the prologue of the game. Jumping in suddenly would be out of place, would it not?
Of course, the real world’s circumstances are slightly different, but still, I wouldn’t interfere in the prologue, not when things could be different at other times.
Besides,
“…Still, Wakamo hasn’t shown up, has she?”
I wanted to check the variables I had created.
Apparently, our duel affected Wakamo as she was absent. There were only the hooligans trying to steal from the SCALE’s lab.
“Hmm.”
Variables I created. Perhaps I needed to clean them up myself.
It was something I’d have to do anyway. Should any gaps show up in the main story or event story due to this absence, it’d be my job to cover them up. The teacher was an essential character who would soon play an important role in progressing the story, so I could just help in place of others.
Or, I could personally intervene and solve it.
‘The seeds I’ve sown, I need to harvest myself.’
I shook my head with a wry smile and sighed, thinking that I’d have even more work cut out for me.
At that very moment,
Ts-zu-tk!
“Hm? Just now my eyes-”
For a second, I thought I met the teacher’s eyes as he led the students from afar, but then a noise appeared from nowhere.
A sound akin to noise interference.
The source of the noise was in my pocket. Pulling it out, I found Millennium’s digital student ID.
“Huh?”
The moment I confirmed it, my eyes widened.
“What is this?”
[Name: Nanashi Hiiro]
A name has appeared.
The name that had been hidden until now, obscured by a mosaic, had been revealed.
Why did it suddenly show up at this moment? What the heck is it?
It was a momentous event, but I could only respond in a peculiar way due to the oddity of the name.
“Nanashi, Hiiro…?”
Wasn’t Nanashi just a convenient nickname?
And why is this name weird?
‘Does not having a name is my name?’
How do such insubstantial names exist everywhere?
While muttering such complaints internally, the teacher had already driven off all the hooligans and long gone inside SCALE’s lab. Regret filled me for not being able to watch the prologue in full due to my distraction.
So why did a name appear?
Was meeting the teacher in the prologue a condition?
Or was it simply a coincidence?
‘Don’t know.’
As I was deep in thought over this incomprehensible change,
Ding!
[Himari-senpai: Sentum Tower just got restored and communication is possible again. Your supernatural intuition is really something.]
Communication from Himari in Millennium came in, who seemed to have noticed Sentum Tower had been restored via the Shitim’s Box by the teacher.
‘This means-‘
Lifting my head after reading Himari’s message,
I checked the changes in Sentum Tower.
The tallest tower at the center of Kiburatos.
From Sentum Tower that manages all infrastructure, a dazzling light was swirling like never before.
“Is this the beginning?”
Blue Archive.
The mobile game I got absorbed into.
Its story has finally begun.
