Aoi's Field

The next morning, Aoi, Naoya, and Nero meet up at the designated location. Aoi's face is stern and focused, while Naoya's cocky smirk is back on his face. Nero, on the other hand, can barely contain his excitement and anticipation. Naoya speaks up first. "Alright, let's get this show on the road. Time to show these superhumans who's boss." Aoi nods fiercely. "Don't get careless," she cautions, her tone serious. "We need to stick together and watch each other's backs." Naoya smirks and flexes his arm. "You worry too much, Aoi. With my power, we'll steamroll through these guys." Nero speaks up, "Don't get it mistaken, I'll steamroll them before you even land a finger on them."  Naoya's smirk widens. "Big talk, Nero. Let's see you back it up." Aoi rolls her eyes, not wanting to get into another argument between the two of them. "Let's just focus on the mission, guys. We can have a testosterone contest later." 

Naoya and Nero exchange a competitive glance, each silently vowing to outperform the other. Aoi sighs, shaking her head, but can't help a small smile from playing on her lips. The trio begins their journey towards the lab, tensions high but spirits lifted. Aoi, Naoya, and Nero stand before the building, their gazes filled with determination. They know that stealth isn't an option; they're here to bring chaos and destruction. Naoya lets out a cocky chuckle. "Time to cause some trouble." The three of them charge through the doors, their senses heightened and fists clenched. Guards stationed at the entrance barely have time to register what's happening before being knocked out left and right. Alarms blare in the distance, adding to the chaos. Nero speaks up, "I'll beat more super human than you, Naoya." Naoya's eyes glint with competitive fervor. "You're on, Nero. I'll show you who's the best." With that, the two boys rush forward into the fray, each determined to prove their superiority. The three of them goes separate ways in the building.

As Aoi walks through a corridor in an upper floor, she sees a man standing still, as if waiting for her. Aoi sees the man standing in the corridor ahead and stops, sizing him up with a steady gaze. The man looks like a typical guard, but there's something unnerving in his demeanor. Aoi approaches cautiously, her fists at the ready. "Who are you?" she calls out, her voice clear and firm. The guard doesn't speak, but a eerie smile spreads across his face as he starts walking towards her. "I was waiting to have some fun." The man says. "Fun, huh?" Aoi sneers, her fists clenching tighter. "Let's see how much fun you'll have against me." With a quick motion, she charges forward, aiming a punch at the man's face. The man swings a sledgehammer out of nowhere right at Aoi. Aoi's eyes widen in surprise as the man swings the sledgehammer at her. Thinking quickly, she dodges to the side, narrowly avoiding the brunt of the impact. However, the force of the sledgehammer causes her to stumble slightly. The man follows up with a knee kick to Aoi. The knee strike connects, sending Aoi stumbling backward. She grimaces in pain but quickly regains her balance. The man's eyes gleam with a sinister smile, clearly relishing the fight. Aoi grits her teeth and prepares to counterattack. 

Aoi's innate ability is Magnetism. With her innate ability, Aoi can control and manipulate magnetic fields. This enables her to perform a variety of feats, such as attracting or repelling objects, creating magnetic fields for defense, or using them offensively to attack opponents. Additionally, Aoi's ability grants her heightened senses, allowing her to perceive disturbances in magnetic fields, which can be useful for detecting hidden threats. With a concentrated burst of power, Aoi uses her magnetism to yank the sledgehammer out of the man's grip and into her own hands. She then takes a deep breath, mustering her strength. Aoi struggles to hold the sledgehammer, her muscles straining with effort. "Damn, this thing's heavier than I thought," she mutters through gritted teeth. The man stands in front of her, a sly grin on his face. "Tired already, sweetheart?" "Hah! You thought..." Aoi says with a grin and swings the sledgehammer at the man easily as if it's was made of cotton. The man's smirk falls as he sees Aoi wielding the sledgehammer with newfound ease. Her strength, amplified by her magnetism, allows her to swing the heavy weapon effortlessly. He hastily ducks out of the way, narrowly avoiding the swift attack.

Aoi, using her magnetism ability, redirects the sledgehammer's path in mid-swing, aiming it right at the spot where the man had dodged moments ago. The sledgehammer follows her mental commands, changing course and striking with newfound velocity and precision. The man tries to evade the redirected sledgehammer, but it connects with his side, sending him stumbling. The impact is powerful, and a pained grunt escapes his lips as he clutches at his wounded side. Aoi, armed with the sledgehammer, swiftly strikes downwards, shattering the floor beneath both her and the man. He attempts to react, but his movements are slowed by the pain and surprise of the sudden collapse. The pair falls through the now-crumbling floor, plummeting down towards the laboratory below. Aoi quickly recognizes the presence of metallic objects nearby and quickly acts upon it. She activates her magnetism ability again, and within seconds, the metallic desks and drawers around them start moving towards the man. The force of her power is potent, propelling the various objects rapidly towards him like a barrage of missiles. The man, still mid-fall, notices the onslaught of metallic objects hurtling towards him and struggles to react. He attempts to weave and dodge, but his movements are hampered by his already wounded state. Several of the metal drawers and desks collide with him, each impact causing cries of pain to escape his lips. 

The impact of the flying metallic objects continues to pummel the man, sending him crashing through desks, chairs, and other debris. The noise of the ongoing chaos echoes throughout the lab. Aoi watches as the man's body is battered and bruised by the onslaught, her expression determined but focused. Aoi rises from the rubble of the collapsed floor, her expression hard and resolute. She approaches the injured man who lies before her, battered and bruised from their fall. She stands over him, her presence exuding authority. The man, though weakened, tries to push himself up, his eyes filled with defiance and a hint of fear. With a swift flick of her hand, Aoi controls the massive table nearby, causing it to come crashing down on the man's head. The heavy impact crushes his skull, leaving him motionless on the floor. Aoi stands over his lifeless body, her expression betraying no emotion. She has successfully killed her enemy. 

As Aoi stands there, surrounded by the aftermath of the intense battle, she gazes down at the lifeless body of her opponent. Her expression is stoic, her mind focused on the task at hand. She speaks aloud, her voice calm and composed. "You were faster than a normal human, no doubt. But you were no match for me." With that, she begins to investigate the laboratory they fell to.
