My System: An Evolved Computer I Made With My Unique Ability—-Chapter 31 By The School Entrance
After much contemplation, Satoshi decided to bring the Nailgun with him since he didn't want to overload himself with information by standing all of his Familiars all at once. And right now, everyone only knew of the Nailgun and thought that that was his only ability. And so, it would be safer for hi,m to just have one instead of bringing everything and causing unnecessary attention to himself. Although that would make him relatively weaker, he thought that it would be good training in case of emergency. Also, he wanted to not be overly reliant on all of his Familiars. If he managed to master how to utilize every Familiar he has, then one of them is more than enough in every battle, or so that's what Satoshi's end goal was.

Apparently, the Nailgun is only a D-Grade Familiar, which was a bit underwhelming since it was able to defeat Hiroshi, one of the most powerful high-schooler in the country. But then again, it's not about the superpower but how you utilize it in combat, which makes any superpower not any less viable than another superpower. With renewed confidence, Satoshi finished his training and headed to school. On one hand, he slung his backpack onhis shoulders, and on the other, he was firmly clasping on the fill-up form that they were supposed to pass today. Right now, the only thing that he put on the fill up form was his name and his supposed superpower, which he named 'nail manipulation'. As fancy as it may sound, the superpower hinted on the fact that he could only contrrol nails and only nails. And furthermore, he cannot even control them freely, he could on;y shoot them at something or someone. Nevertheless, that's what Satosh went for and he just crossed his fingers that the school would be satisfied by his answer.
Once again, the school bus stopped a few streets away from his house and he was then greeted again by Shiroi and Midori who were already inside the school bus. He already expected another noisy morning now that Midori is here again but he wasn't complaining.
"Good morning, Satoshi! How are you doing? Have you answered the fill-up form already? As for me, I didn't answer anything specific on it since I'm not sure what my superpower is myself. Well, even if I were, I'm not that stupid to give all of my information and give it to SAO willy-nilly. That would just make it easier for them to control me, or they could even sell the details of my superpower if they were threatened too. What I want to say is, a lot of things could go wrong if we aren't careful. We're still high schoolers, we can't afford to make a mistake that would ruin our future." Midori drew a circle with his index finger as if he was slightly lecturing them about something. In retrospect, what Midori said was actually correct. There were already a few instances where a lot of superheroes got compromised just because their superpowers were leaked to the enemies and although the SAO denied ever colluding with the villains, there's still a good chance that there's a traitor amongst its employees. That's why a lot of superheroes made an unspoken rule that they won't give every information they have about their superpower. Satoshi's parents went a few more notches and didn't give a single word about their superpower to SAO even though they're officially a member of it. They received a lot of criticisms back then but they had the last laugh.
Satoshi couldn't help but admire how Midori could be so consistent, especially when making a lot of noise. He sighed as the ever-talking Midori continued on with his monologue, which had already diverted from the topic he was talking about just a few seconds ago. It's only been the second day and Satoshi was already used to Midori that his voice had become background noise for him. Nevertheless, he couldn't agree more with him. It'd be best to not specify your own's superpower since it could be used against you.
With that mindset, Satoshi felt even more confident as the school bus rolled towards the school. At one point, he wondered why the USA still uses school buses when there are a lot of high-end vehicles that could easily replace them. But then again, it had been etched in the traditions of the school to use school buses so they probably wanted to uphold such a thing. Before he knew it, the school bus had arrived and all of them walked out and towards the school's main entrance gate.
"I'm telling you, young miss. You can't pass it like this." A man in his mid-thirties spoke, having a slight slurring accent in his tone. This man wore a cowboy hat and his outfit made it look like he had just come out of a rodeo show. As if his clear blue eyes, slightly tanned skin, and blond hair weren't complete enough, he was even nibbling wheat in between his teeth. An A-Rank Superhero who goes by the codename Lariat, his superpower makes him extend any of his appendages and use it as a whip. It's a pretty niche superpower that requires great skill and patience. After all, damaging the whip would mean injuring himself so he can't really use his superpower that much.
In front of Lariat was a girl who had light blue hair and wide-brimmed eyeglasses but that wasn't the first thing Satoshi noticed. Her beautiful eyelashes and clear blue eyes were what Satoshi first saw.
"But I wrote something there! I wrote my name!" The girl defended herself.
"No can do, young miss." Lariat rejected, giving her her paper back.
"Yes can do," The girl responded back.
Suddenly, Lariat straightened his back and stared from afar as if he was being controlled by something. He didn't speak a single word. As for the girl, she briefly smiled to herself before she walked towards the school, hopping with every step.
"What on— " Satoshi trailed off, wondering who the girl was. Shiroi and the others had the same sentiment.
