There Was No Secret Organization to Fight with the World's Darkness so I Made One (In Exasperation)

Hey y’all. Been a while. So I’ve decided to post chapter 2 in smaller chunks than I did chapter 1 because honestly this chapter is really difficult to translate and you guys may have to wait forever if I translate the same amount as I did for chapter 1. Also, few things;

1. The website is going onto my Translation Resources page because it was really useful for all the slang in this section that the dictionary I was using didn’t recognize.
2. The link to the PDF for Chapter 1 is on the ToC page
3. “Psychic-muscle” (ネンリキン) is going back to “nenrikin” on recommendation from a reader in the comments

That’s all for now. Hope you guys have a great New Year!

I became a third-year at university. With the beginning of the new school year, student life and work also started up again. I heard your fourth year is busy with job-hunting, but psychokinesis training keeps me busy enough as it is. 'Nenrikin' has grown so that its power can be compared to the atomic bomb "Fat Man" that was dropped on Nagasaki. Because the power of the modern atomic bomb is not the same as the ones at the end of World War II, I can't be sure that I could stop an atomic bomb with my psychokinesis, but to put it another way, my defense can't be broken unless smash through it with an atomic bomb. I'm a one-man army.

However, there are still a lot of flaws. I can't use psychokinesis while sleeping, I can't block light, and blocking radiation is probably impossible. I'm completely caught unaware if an attack comes from my blindspot, and I can't avoid being poisoned. Although I'm not planning on facing any dangerous opponents, I noticed while listing flaws that some of them could be solved. And once you notice something, you want to try it.

Super powers are profound. Trailblazing through unknown territory makes my heart pound. I can't stop!

The first thing I'm going to sharpen is the awareness of my psychokinesis… creating a true 'sixth sense'. Not the 'intuition' or 'divine insight' kind of sixth sense, but one that is a distinctive sensation created by my psychic abilities. If I can do this not only can I prevent surprise attacks, but clairvoyance is no longer just a dream. Training for the sake of developing a sixth sense will involve using my psychokinesis to hold, but not lift, various heavy objects, and experience the specific changes in the burden on nenrikin.

This will now be the key to training; to know the weight of an object by the burden it places on the nenrikin. In other words, the reason (for this training) is to experience variations in the heaviness of objects through my psychokinesis. This will make it possible for my powers to not only be an amazing, invisible muscle, but to also become a sensory organ that obtains information from the outside world, just like the eyes, ears, and nose.

To start with, I dove into the Japan Trench (max. depth 8,020m) and lifted two masses of seawater with only slightly different weights. I just barely am unable to lift the amount of seawater on the right. However, I'm just barely able to lift the amount of seawater on the left. I need to learn the differences in sensation between these two amounts. I secure air for myself by stretching a barrier across the bottom of the ocean, and then while holding the flashlight I repetitively lift and release the masses of seawater. Again, and again, and again. Focus. Concentrate. Don't think, feel.

I have to be able to accurately distinguish the load on nenrikin at the unconscious level, just like how an old lady working at a vegetable shipper can tell the weight and size (SML) of the potatoes they ship just by holding them in her hand. And just like how, even with normal hearing, it's easy to tell that the explosive sound of the motorbike that is blowing in the middle of the night is greater than the sound of a dropped one-yen coin. You don't think "Hmm, the sound of a one-yen coin or the sound of a motorbike, which is bigger?" I want that sort of thing. By learning to feel with nenrikin, I'll make a real sense out of the sixth sense!

Somehow it became kinda fun, I brought a convenience box lunch, and spent Saturdays and Sundays crushing deep-sea fish while training; but then I realized that it wasn't training that I had to do separately in the trench, and after returning home I shifted the direction to comparing the weight of 90 yen apples to the weight of 30 yen oranges.Training at the bottom of the Japan Trench. I guess giving a guy strength makes him run towards extreme things. This isn't a "Jump" manga, there's no meaning in so called "eccentric training". I mean, there's no cliché energetic; "Wow! That training had such meaning! Wow, I’m getting stronger!" development and no desire to show off the results no matter what. Partly because, unfortunately, there's no place for an active demonstration of the results of my training.

It's true that there are no ESP'ers other than me. "The world is wrong!" Is what I’d like to say, but in truth my existence is probably the actual mistake.

With an empty mind, I compared the difference in size between a large and small spoons and the heaviness of various rocks while also completing a paper for class. I wanted to praise myself when I came up with training by comparing the weight of vegetables in the supermarket vegetable section. Judging the weight of the vegetables allowed me to pick out the good ones, which was a relief budget-wise.Then, after two months, it became possible to sense and judge the load on nenrikin. It's the awakening of the sixth sense.

After being able to sense the load on nenrikin, I wanted to increase the 'area of application' for the sixth sense. Then I would be able to see the weight of any passers-by, motorbikes, or cars that pass over the 'psychokinetic membrane'. With this, you can perceive enemies that are in stealth and invisible.

"What?! I don't understand! My invisibility should be perfect!"

"Hah, that's what you get for looking down on psychokinesis and the sixth sense, you bastard!"

Like that! Like that! Isn't it cool! The problem is that there's no enemy with an invisibility skill! Fuck!

Well, if I expand the psychokinetic membrane spherically and at the brittleness of about a tissue, I can instantly notice if someone breaks through the membrane and invades. It's useful for surprise attacks from behind. Practically, this perception barrier already has a track record of making surprise attacks useless; it helped me to avoid a 'pointed finger combo' to the face from a friend who was sneaking up behind me on campus by turning my face over my shoulder. "You didn't conceal your presence very well," I said with a smug look, generally ignoring the rather sad expression on their face.

Now, I awoke to the sixth sense successfully, but I can still train. Not yet, it’s not over yet.

To feel the weight on nenrikin is a so – called tactile substitute.I would like to extend this to all five senses of human beings, namely; vision, hearing, olfaction, gustation, and tactile perception. I want to use nenrikin to see, hear, smell, taste, and touch! If this can be done it even becomes possible to get a hint of other people's movements.

So far, the range of my powers has depended on my vision. Although it is possible to use it anywhere within visual range, I can't use it in places that I can't see. If I gain [Psychokinetic Vision] I can, for example:

1. "See" the location that my psychokinesis has been triggered
2. Further activate my psychokinesis, upon "seeing" the activation point

By practicing this process, the so-called ‘real range’ can become infinite.

Until now there was only a radius of 300 meters with myself at the center. However, if I visualize the center being further away, I can lengthen the range of my psychokinesis beyond 300m. I used my psychokinesis to "fly" from Okinawa to Hokkaido¹; I slurped fresh guava tea while watching the Sapporo Snow Festival live²! I can do anything. And, on the day when I added in hearing and olfaction, it was no different from being in the real Hokkaido without actually leaving Okinawa.

A tornado appeared in the U.S… I saw it on the live broadcast of it on the TV in the cafeteria, so I used my psychokinesis to "fly" over and stop the tornado³… the broadcast on TV showed the tornado being pushed back by a mysterious power… The startled students and cafeteria ladies were really noisy… And then without talking but with a nihilistic[^4] smile I devoured my 380 yen Sanuki udon…

… At last!

I've been increasingly using both remote psychokinesis and the sixth sense while physically remaining at home. I should be at an underground bar with black clothing and a hood to conceal my identity while drinking tequila and watching summer TV broadcasts, but I'm an ordinary college student. Such an atmosphere is impossible for me with my current expenses.

1. It took me a while to understand this, but he’s not “literally” flying. He’s spread out his psychokinesis in such a way that he can sense what’s going on in Hokkaido from Okinawa (a distance of about 3,096km) ↩
2. Apparently is local product of Okinawa and tea made from guava leaves is popular. takes place in the capital of Hokkaido during February. ↩
3. Again, not literally flying. While physically remaining in the cafeteria, he used his psychokinesis to stop a tornado in the U.S (now that’s what I call ridiculously OP) ↩
