Esper X Family – Chapter 288 – Premonition

“Old Yu is in the next room, he should be training right now. You can go find him to discuss the action plan.”

Ye Yao casually mentioned.

Yu Jin did not show his anger on his face.

It had been building up inside him.

He was unsettlingly calm.

Not like a passionate super athlete at all.

But holding it in for too long would definitely cause problems.

Mu Luo and the others had to take him out to vent.

Moreover, even if the Yunited States truly had another opportunity to use the Anti-Superhuman Device, Yu Jin could likely dismantle it quickly with his incredible physical strength.

With over four thousand points in stamina, it was clear that he had great endurance.

Perhaps he could maintain a maximum output for a long time.

The only concern was whether he would get injured.

Yu Jin had no mental power. All his points were allocated in his physique.

But this physique was likely only effective against conventional weapons.

If an S-rank Esper were capable of breaching his defenses, it could easily render Yu Jin unable to fight.

Just like the S-rank Esper Ye Yao encountered at the Yunited States base before.

A single elbow strike from him would probably take Yu Jin down in an instant.

Not to mention that S-rank Espers also had access to versatile mental power techniques.

They had significant resistance to physical damage.

Yu Jin would probably only be able to bully weaker opponents.

Against a true master, he would surely be at a loss.

He was still too outdated.

Fortunately, it seemed that Yu Jin could barely compete with an S-rank Espers with his three top-tier attributes.

Even an Esper with over four thousand mental power couldn’t contend with a true S-rank.

It seemed that he wasn’t too outdated after all.

“He’s lacking a crutch ¹ OP support Casters in FGO. Crutch because the symbol for Caster is a staff, often joked as crutch. .”

Ye Yao mentally simulated Yu Jin’s combat style.

Blitzing into close range, close-quarters combat, explosive speed and power.

And he could keep it up for a long time.

That terrifying speed combined with strength could make S-rank Espers pale.

Being struck would likely result in severe injury or even death.

However, S-rank Espers would always maintain a mental power shield during combat.

This was common sense to avoid surprise attacks.

Yu Jin’s charged strike might be able to break the shield, but it would also give the enemy time to react.

Once that happened, it would be hard to follow up.

Fortunately, this was just in the case of one-on-one combat.

Who said that Yu Jin would have to go out and face the enemy alone?

Old Mu could simply equip Old Yu with Dark Erosion Armor.

This would directly compensate for his shortcomings.

As long as he wasn’t exhausted, Old Yu could hold his own against an S-rank enemy!

With three S-rank Espers mobilized, most evil people in the Yunited States would be begging for mercy.

Ye Yao shared this idea with Mu Luo.

“I understand, I’ll help you.”

Mu Luo nodded in agreement.

Ye Yao was satisfied and nodded in return.

Then, she sighed lightly.

“Ah, it’s a pity that Wu Mi isn’t here. If she’s here, she might be able to put Yu Jin into a cycle state.

Infinite stamina, refreshing from injuries, a walking nuclear bomb that could explode at any time, even bursting for multiple cycles.”

At that moment, Ye Yao was already feeling excited.

Just looking at the strength of one ability made it seem outdated.

But what if it were combined with other abilities?

It would be simply divine!

Yu Jin’s mental power was zero.

He was easily subjected to negative effects.

In simple terms, he had high physical resistance but poor magical resistance.

Getting hit with a debuff would be disastrous for him.

A true outlier of the current meta.

But this also extended to another extreme.

He could easily receive buffs.

Wu Mi could only affect those with lower mental power than herself.

Giving Yu Jin an Ouroboros cycle would turn him into a terrifying super athlete.

A temporary burst of power would be exhilarating, but continuous bursts would be even more exhilarating.

How could the combination of top-notch speed and strength not match the destructive power of S-rank Espers?

Especially since this was of the kind that could keep bursting.

It’s a pity that all of this was merely talk right now.

Wu Mi wasn’t participating in this expedition.

They could only wait for the next time.

“Alright, the rest is up to you. Don’t worry about using lethal force. Kill those who need to be killed.

No matter who the opponent is, you can make your own judgment. There’s no need to worry about troubles; I’ve got your backs.

If you encounter someone you can’t handle, I’ll step in to help.”

Ye Yao didn’t intend to take part in this minor skirmish.

It was merely a strike against the capitalistic forces in the Yunited States.

Even opposing the official Yunited States forces was nothing to her.

After all, she had already destroyed their main base.

If they had the capability, the Yunited States could gather armed forces to conduct counterterrorism.

But who would oppose whom was still uncertain.

Unless they encountered the people from the Sanctuary.

Otherwise, Ye Yao estimated that she would only be tinkering in her room, figuring out how to wake An Qi up.

Mu Luo and the others nodded and gradually left the room.

It was a good thing Ye Yao didn’t join them.

From Mu Luo and the others’ perspective, it was because of her that their lives were getting better.

Since they had received such great favor, they naturally had to let her stay away from the dirty places.

A scene laden with blood and death was not suitable for Ye Yao.

She only needed to live a relaxed and happy daily life with the other girls.

They, the adults, would handle the rest.

A glint of determination flashed in Mu Luo’s eyes.

He sensed his surroundings.

Soon, he found the room where Yu Jin was.

He didn’t use his ability to barge in.

He simply knocked on the door.

After a moment, the door opened.

A muscular man with tightly stretched clothes appeared before them.

Yu Jin’s expression was very calm.

However, any perceptive person could feel the immense anger he was suppressing.

“Long time no see, Yu Jin.”

Mu Luo greeted briefly.

“It doesn’t seem that long.”

Yu Jin let the others enter the room.

“I’m sorry you had to go through something like that.”

“It’s my own bad luck. It’s not your fault.”

Yu Jin’s rationality hadn’t been shattered to the point of madness.

He was not one to vent on others.

He always knew who his enemies were.

Yu Jin glanced at Gu Wenxin and Jiang Huashen.

Although they had only met once and exchanged few words, his impression of them was quite good.

Initially, they were all doing their own things.

Their relationship was very distant.

But now, they seem to have merged into a whole.

Even though it didn’t look like a lively atmosphere, they had started to feel like a team.

That was the feeling Mu Luo and the others gave to Yu Jin.

This was what it looked like when everyone worked together toward a common goal.

Yu Jin thought of that silver-haired girl.

It seemed that she had really brought about a significant change.

Just as Yu Jin fell into his memories, Mu Luo directly started the main topic.

The four adult men in Sequence Zero had no intention of beating around the bush.

Aside from Old Jiang, they were all tough characters with few words.

“Ye Yao allowed us to act freely. This means that we can do whatever we want.

Whether it’s dismantling the Yunited States’ Esper organization, seeking revenge, or eliminating evil people, it all falls within the scope of action.

Now that we are going up against the Yunited States official Esper organization, we may encounter strong enemies or unknown strategies.

Therefore, I plan to continue using my usual tactics: surprise attacks, giving the enemy no time to respond.”

To Mu Luo’s statement, Yu Jin had a nonchalant attitude.

“I can draw fire on the frontlines. You all can do as you please.”

“Alright, I’ll give you a hand.”

Yu Jin needed a fierce battle to vent his emotions.

And Mu Luo would give him that opportunity.

Meanwhile, in another room,

Ye Yao was pinching An Qi’s little face.

Getting handsy with an unfamiliar little girl.

No need to say more, it was truly shrimp-headed ² Shrimp head is slang for stuff that makes people cringe or feel disappointed. It’s called that because when people eat shrimp, they usually throw away the head part. .

Ye Yao didn’t feel the slightest bit guilty about it.

She had already rescued the girl. What’s wrong with pinching her face to collect some interest?

She didn’t even demand the other party to pledge herself to her!

At that moment, Ye Yao stroked her chin, lost in thought.

“Hmm, for some reason, I have a feeling that this little one is about to wake up.”
