“Kiryuu Hajime. Your power...is mine now.”

The moment the words left Kudou Mirei’s lips—or rather, Yusano Genre’s—Kiryuu staggered, seemingly slumping over in exhaustion. His eyes were wide with astonishment, and an expression of frustration came across his face as he turned to look at the girl who’d stolen his power. He glared at her like he couldn’t believe what he was seeing.

“No...way... Kudou...Mirei...?” Kiryuu grunted.

“Hmm. It seems I’ve succeeded,” Genre dispassionately muttered using Kudou’s voice. She clenched and opened her hand a few times, as if to test her newfound strength, then raised that hand to point at a patch of ground a short ways in front of her—which instantly sunk into itself with a heavy thud. “The analyst was correct, then. By stealing his power to sever time, so too have I stolen his power to desecrate the force of gravity.”

The power Genre had just used was, without question, Lucifer’s Strike. She really had taken Kiryuu’s ability for her own. She’d casually, easily, and entirely claimed it.

“A new personality awakened within me,” said Genre. “Yusano Destinia is her name, and the power she awakened to in turn was that of omni-comprehension: Hard Watching. It grants her knowledge of every living Player in the War, as well as an understanding of their powers. Not as deep of an understanding as the analyst’s power gives her, however—Destinia can only understand their capabilities on a surface level.”

It sounded like a similar sort of power to Natsu Aki’s, but with very different strengths and limitations. While Aki’s power gave her deep, complete knowledge of anyone she could directly observe, Destinia’s seemed to give her shallow and incomplete knowledge of everyone in a broad, all-encompassing scale.

“It was through use of Hard Watching that I came across this girl. The power she bears is so mighty, it defies comprehension,” Genre said with her ever-present, empty smile. “It is preposterous...unthinkable beyond measure. How could a power such as it be allowed? How could it be acceptable for her to be able to steal any number of powers, at no risk to herself, with no requirement other than witnessing them in use? It is a violation of all rationality, and one of such excessive scale it could very well cause the collapse of the Spirit War itself. It rivals even System in the sheer danger it presents.”

The ability to steal any power, just by seeing it, really was way too overpowered. You had to wonder if something had gone fundamentally wrong when it was given to Kudou. If a character with a power like that turned up in a supernatural battle manga, they’d throw the whole story’s power curve out of balance single-handedly. It really was just as balance-breaking as System—or perhaps even more so, actually. It ran the risk of tearing apart a story’s worldbuilding from the ground up.

The fact that its user had been isolated from the Spirit War along with the literary club’s members, preventing her from joining the battle in any real capacity, had kept her from exercising her true, terrifying potential so far.
