Superhumans of the Dome City

Chapter 1508: Chapter 1: A Changing World (Part 1)

"Controller-san, here is the investigation report on the mass malignancy incident in Haitong City." "Great work, Shocking General-san, please take care of your health." "Controller-san, the branch director of Purple Island reports that recently several foreign Impermanence Law Enforcers have expressed interest in exchanges..." "Maintain a friendly attitude and tell them that if they want technical exchanges, they should follow the official documentation process." "But we don’t have any official documentation."

Buried deep within a stack of documents, the controller, with the composure unique to a veteran, lifted a teacup: "So, Shinren-san, you’ll draft one. Complete it by 5 PM today."

Aieeeee?! The magenta-clad ninja delivering the report nearly let out an undignified scream. Reflexively, he saluted: "Understood! I will complete it at the fastest speed!"

The magenta-clad ninja, suppressing his Ninja Stomachache, walked away, as the controller took a sip of tea, speaking in a drawn-out tone: "Three months in the business, and this guy is still a newbie..."

"I say, Yamaoka, you’ve been here for only a year and aren’t considered a veteran yet either." said Jahai, teasing in between tasks.

"Experience is more important than tenure, right? I’ve recently started to hardly feel any stomachache anymore."

"Are you sure it’s not the part of you that’s just an ordinary person becoming numb and deadened?"

"Not a funny joke, actually quite scary." The controller caught a paper shuriken, smiling wryly after opening it, "Another recruitment task, such enthusiasm..."

The pens of the ninjas danced across the paper, the rustle of signing and annotating never stopping. Experienced veterans folded documents into paper shurikens at three times the speed of ordinary people, flicking them with a spin to the communication ninjas waiting outside the window, while receiving new documents simultaneously. The shurikens fluttered through the air like paper cranes, adding a unique mystical atmosphere of Zero Island to the room.

In reality, this was already a greatly simplified work process. Before the Weiyuan Rebellion, critical documents from the higher-ups required ninjas to sit properly in the tea room, gracefully wielding brushes in a noble manner to annotate, crafting them into scrolls for the leader’s review before execution. However, after Zuiyan took charge of the Ninja Army, most of the cumbersome and useless processes were eliminated, replaced by new methods honing skills through work.

Ninjas who made mistakes throwing paper shurikens were seen as having lackluster basic skills, and those injured by paper shurikens were regarded as failing to fend off even paper. Everyday sitting and standing were forms of training; the workplace was indeed a battlefield!

"What would the newbie ninjas, eager to join the Ninja Army, think seeing this scene..." the controller said sarcastically.

"They might wet themselves secretly, haha!"

The loud laughter of the giant ninja made the table slightly tremble, as Destruction raised his fist, smashing it against the large red button on the upper right corner of the desk. The office doors opened automatically, revealing a spectacle. Stacks of documents flew up from everyone’s desk, automatically folding into white missiles! They shot like a sudden rain towards the communication ninjas outside the door!

Presumably, those with ninja dynamic vision could already discern the truth; this was a highly efficient document dispatch method, uniquely accomplished with well-honed karate by the Ninja Army Leader. Namo San, what incredible karate! The communication ninjas rapidly gathered outside the door, forming a "human wall" formation to intercept the documents!

"Gwaa-!" "Ahbah-!" The ninjas catching the paper missiles cried out in misery. "Caught it-!" The ninja Shinren, in magenta attire, caught a paper missile with a small blade.

"Shinren-san, using the Impermanence Skill to slack off is not good." The controller squinted at him, "Add an extra hour of resistance training after work, I’ll do it with you."

"Aieeee?! Understood, terribly sorry!"

This time, Shinren couldn’t hold back the cry that was on the tip of his tongue, and after the office door closed, the veteran ninjas burst into laughter. Destruction took out a large bottle of energy drink from the fridge, handing one to each subordinate: "Ten minutes break."

"Alright, yay." "Thanks~"

The controller removed his face mask, revealing the young office worker Yamaoka. He took a swig of icy drink, shaking the document in his hand: "Honestly, do we need so many newbies? It’s good to have fresh blood, but having a mixed quality of members can also become a problem. Also..."

Yamaoka hesitated and put down the document. The paper recorded Weiyuan City’s recruitment plan for the year, with the number of applicants far exceeding the maximum estimated slots, deeply troubling the veteran ninjas. However, this was an inevitable development under the changing circumstances.

Three months have passed since the great battle between the Jihui Bureau and King Pingdeng. That unprecedented battle had a tremendous impact on the world, with the most immediate being the complete exposure of the society on the inside. Now it is known to everyone that both the Impermanence Skill and Constant Law exist, the source of the giant dragon phenomenon is the Eternal King, and that the Impermanence Law Enforcers have always been active in the world’s interior, safeguarding peace. The Yiji Hall, Mithril Pillar, Martial Arts Association, and other organizations had no choice but to shift from behind the scenes to the forefront, taking on the roles of official experts to guide public opinion and respond accordingly.

The direction where the whole society should head might be a question for emperors, presidents, and other talents to discuss, but for ninjas like Yamaoka from the middle and lower tier, the integration of new members was a pressing issue. Knowing that there are supernatural powers that can be cultivated, how many people can say they have no interest at all? Just the longing for "special" is enough to motivate people to strive towards mastering the Impermanence Skill.

"I remember there was a period when teenage crimes were rampant," Jahai reminiscently said, "about three or five years ago, there was a prevailing notion in society that ’only special people can become Superpower Users.’ So a lot of people under academic pressure were causing trouble, robbing, streaking, or making absurd statements in the street, hoping to be noticed by someone, awaken superpowers, and thus rise to the top all at once."
