"Being born special may be a good thing for some people. But for me, it's not like that."

Songye asked Nakai Linhui to bring some desserts and drinks, and whispered to Saten Ruiko.

Ruiko Saten sat across from Eika Inoue with her chin down, listening carefully like a curious baby.

"This ability has been with me since I was born. I can't tell what the level of my ability was at that time. In short, everyone who sees me, even if I am still ignorant, will be surprised.

He thinks he has a good impression of me.

There are even some children who can move independently, but they can't help but do some behaviors to me, such as kissing me with a red face, or like to stick to me who can't even speak.

But these were only limited to the first time I met. When we met again, the good feeling was gone, and it was even like meeting a stranger.

However, they have not forgotten their feelings or actions when they first met me.

There are some children who are full of self-esteem or shame, and even regard this as a stain on their lives, and they begin to hate me.

Say bad things about me to some of my close friends.

When it goes too far, they will point fingers at me in front of me, my family, and other people.

Over time, many adults also discovered that I was different from others.

Someone began to secretly spread the word that my mother...

A monster was born!"

Songye recalled scenes from the past. When he closed his eyes, he seemed to still be able to see the scenes of himself being poked in the spine as a child after he became wise.

"What, like this?" Saten Ruiko covered her mouth with her hands in surprise.

She couldn't imagine that the senior who usually smiled softly and showed a gentle and elegant appearance except for being a bit venomous towards acquaintances... actually had such an unbearable past.

But Songye didn't stop. He took a deep breath and continued to speak calmly:

"I didn't have a single friend in my childhood. Not only that, everyone around me was wary of me as if I were a monster. When my parents were not around, if there were bolder children around, they would come to attack me.

When I was young, I used fists and kicks. The adults around me never stopped the children. They only commented on the scene of me being beaten with indifferent eyes.

However, when my parents came back, they saw that they had never approached the parents of those children to reason with them.

Maybe even my parents started to believe what those people said?

When I was two years old, my parents gave birth to a daughter without telling me. Then they began to devote all their energy to my sister, teaching her carefully, and there was a vague tendency to hand over the family business to my sister. The only good news may be that

…”

Having said this, Song Ye smiled and said in a nostalgic tone:

"After my sister could speak, she did not reject me as an older brother. Moreover, she was very clingy to me and even refused to let her parents accompany her, as long as I stayed with her.

However, the good times did not last long.

When I was four years old, my parents couldn't bear the public opinion and pressure from society and claimed that I had died suddenly. In fact, they sent me to Academy City, a place where people with abilities and so-called "monsters" gathered.

However, my life has not improved since I came here.

Regardless of whether they are capable or incompetent, their attitude towards me is no different from ordinary people outside.

After the initial good impression, they began to exclude and exclude me.

The same goes for my parents. In addition to paying living expenses to their cards every month, it seems as if they really don’t have a son like me anymore.

So, I simply stopped going out and locked myself in the dormitory. Apart from regular monthly ability checks, I would never step out of the dormitory.

The days without friends lasted until a certain ability test.

That time, the person responsible for assisting me in the ability test was a white-haired boy.

I overheard from the researcher's mouth that he was a monster just like me.

However, the amazing thing is that he was the only one who did not reject me when we met again. Although his expression was cold, I saw the same loneliness as me in his eyes.

Maybe he feels the same as me.

The same loneliness, the same being called a monster, the same not having any friends.

Anyway, we became friends.

That period of time was perhaps the only bright spot in my dark childhood besides my sister.

However, you also know that fate is always beyond your control.

hehe……"

Song Ye smiled miserably and picked up the orange juice on the table and took a sip.

With a worried look on Saten Ruiko's face, she asked nervously: "He...is dead?"

"Uh!" Songye was stunned for a moment, then said helplessly: "No, that's not the case."

After a slight pause, Songye took another sip of orange juice to moisten his throat and continued:

"He disappeared, disappeared from where he originally lived.

I searched many places but couldn't find him.

My life once again fell into a person's darkness.

Then, finally, I lost hope in life and chose to commit suicide two years ago.

Unfortunately, whether it was a coincidence or something, a young man who had originally rushed to another place met me struggling in the water.

Isn’t that ridiculous?

Although I took the initiative to end my life on my own, I struggled because of my human instinct when I was drowning in the water.

That young man happened to see me struggling.

It was at that time that the watch on my hand stopped moving."

As he spoke, Matsuya raised his right hand and showed Saten Ruiko the Cartier mechanical watch that had stopped moving.

"It turns out that there is such a story here..." Saten Ruiko stared at her watch thoughtfully, and then asked: "What happened next? What happened to the boy who saved Matsuya-senpai?"

"Later..." Songye said, a smile couldn't help appearing on his face.

"Later on, my ability improved for some reason, and it became what I am now, which is not only effective for the first meeting, which is the so-called... special goodwill maintenance.

My ability, after giving me a miserable childhood where I had no friends, made me...not want to get so-called 'friends' anymore.

It is also because of this that I no longer believe in feelings. In my opinion, most... or in other words, all people who are close to me and have a good impression of me are affected by my ability.

But among these people, the young man who saved me is not included."

Saten Ruiko was a little dissatisfied when she heard Matsuye's words. She didn't believe that she was willing to approach Matsuye because she was influenced by Matsuye's ability.

However, after hearing Matsuye's last words, Saten Ruiko temporarily put aside her unwillingness and asked curiously:

"Why is Matsuya-senpai so sure that he is not affected by the ability?"

"Because he is also born with a strange ability. His right hand can erase all supernatural powers. My ability has no effect on him. Even Misaka-san's railgun can be used by him.

Take it completely with your right hand!"

"Hmm! Does such an ability really exist?" The amount of information Saten Ruiko received today was really too much, and she exclaimed again.

However, something seemed to have occurred to him immediately, and Saten Ruiko tentatively asked:

"Wait a minute, you're not talking about that urban legend, are you? That urban legend called... The Phantom Killer?!"

"Yes, it's him. But..." Song Ye's eyes suddenly darkened, "Ability is really not a good thing. Especially the ability that is born with one."

After confirming that Saten Ruiko was listening to him carefully, Matsuya changed his previous attitude and said seriously to Saten Ruiko:

"In addition to me, this young man who was born with a phantom killer also had a corresponding tragic experience.

Perhaps when his right hand erased the miracle, it also erased his own good luck?

Every day, he experiences all kinds of misfortunes, and sudden accidents happen one after another, such as a flower pot suddenly falling from upstairs while walking, or finally snapping up eggs at a discount, but he has no time to avoid the oncoming opponent.

An out-of-control shopping cart rushed over, causing all the eggs to fall to the ground and break... There are many things like this.

However, he never complained to anyone about these things and always faced life with a smile. It was because of his guidance that I slowly got rid of the shadow of childhood in the past two years."

"So, Senior Matsuye treats me the same way. Do you think I am influenced by your ability and am willing to get close to you?" Seeing Matsuye stop to replenish water, Saten Ruiko pouted in dissatisfaction and defended herself.

.

"Huh?" Matsuye was puzzled, "Speaking of which, shouldn't I be the one who approached Saten first?"

"Huh? Is that so?" Saten Ruiko was even more puzzled.

"Yes, I was willing to be friends with Saten because I admired Saten's unyielding courage in the face of the robbers who kidnapped his children. I never thought about whether it was affected by my ability."

Matsuye gave an explanation confidently, and then without waiting for Saten Ruiko to answer, his face straightened and he returned to the original topic.

"After talking about me, now it's time to talk about Saten. After listening to what I said, does Saten still think that ability is so important? Now that you got the Fantasy Controller, you hid it because you heard from your friends that it is forbidden to use it.
