As soon as Satoshi got out of hiding, Plume immediately followed, shooting feathers at the men who were celebrating a little bit too early. Satoshi was already flying around using Ghast to teleport everywhere. Every time he attacks, he would use Sain to give a few wounds and scratches to the men. They were definitely caught off-guard, especially the one who calls himself Tunnel Vision.

Eye-Goddess, Kitamura Ayano, had already calmed down a few minutes back after she saw in her future that she will be rescued by Satoshi and Plume. Although she wondered why they waited for everything to come down before rescuing her, she was glad nonetheless. It's not like she was hurt during the entire situation and moreover, she wasn't complaining to them after they went through the pain of rescuing her. She sighed in relief, glad that she won't have to stay in the cold musty place for long.

"Where did these kids come from?"

"Where is he aghk~!"

"Somebody what is— !"

"Argh!"

It didn't even take a minute, Satoshi had already knocked and rounded up the henchmen of Tunnel Vision without difficulty. Of course, it was only possible because of Plume's support. This may be the first time they worked together as a superhero duo but they synced incredibly well. They are childhood friends after all and their bond is much stronger than their superhero experience.

However, Plume was surprised that she almost couldn't keep up with Satoshi's erratic movements. She had been a licensed professional superhero for at least a year now and Satoshi barely even started as an intern a few minutes ago. And yet he was somehow better than him, both physically and superpower-wise. 'Is he really the Satoshi I knew? I heard he just awakened his superpowers... how is he so strong?'

"Eye-Goddess-san, are you all right?" Satoshi asked, using Sain to cut off the ropes that bound her. Something clicked in Satoshi's mind and he felt the disappointment of his Chainsaw Familiar. It was probably annoying that it was just used to lightly wound the enemies and to cut off ropes. While it was looking forward to bloodshed, all it received was a half-assed fight.

Curious, Satoshi made a mental note that he should delve deeper into the characteristics of his every Familiar. Apparently, others want the pacifist route like Sera, others want an action-packed fight like Ghast, then there's Sain who only wanted carnage. He wondered how the other familiars would react to every fight. At the bottom of things, Satoshi believed that understanding his familiars would lead to their affinity being stronger, and in turn, the Integration would be much smoother and energy-efficient.

'Why isn't the Eye-Goddess answering?' Satoshi asked himself.

"Mmmph!" Eye-Goddess motioned before removing the tape on her mouth. "Yes, I'm fine, thanks."

"How did you get caught like that? I thought you can always look a few seconds ahead into the future with your Foresight?" Satoshi asked, worried.

"It's because of that guy called Tunnel Vi— wait, where is he? You didn't catch him?!" Eye-Goddess asked.

Satoshi and Plume stared at each other, perplexed. Before they charged out of their hiding spot, their aim was to catch everyone including Tunnel Vision. And yet, the thought somehow flew over their heads and Tunnel Vision was nowhere to be found. It's as if he just slipped into nothingness.

Actually, Tunnel Vision was right there, and he used his abilities on the three of them before he slipped out of the scene. As mentioned before, his ability is to give someone tunnel vision, sort of like a misdirection superpower where he directs the attention of someone away from him. With this, he had escaped authorities countless times. Even powerful superheroes couldn't catch him. As long as he locked eyes with anyone, his escape is guaranteed. In the world of pickpockets and thieves, his superpower is outstandingly useful, and that's why he had become an important figure when it comes to petty criminals.

And just like every single time, Tunnel Vision managed to get away once again, leaving all his henchmen as cannon fodder. He didn't bother checking up on them, as long as he saves his rear side, everything is as it should be. That's how it is in the world of small-time criminals. No trust was involved, nor was there camaraderie.

"Dex," Satoshi muttered, hoping that his system covered for him. Previously, he had a few suspicions as to what Tunnel Vision's superpower is, but right now, he was sure that his superpower is his literal name. And that's why he managed to sneak past Eye-Goddess's foresight and successfully kidnapped her. He overlooked one variable though— Satoshi's gut instincts and Dex.

[He's right outside, walking, thirty meters from your location.]

"Thanks, keep on tailing him"

"Satoshi?" Plume asked, wondering why Satoshi was speaking to himself.

"I have his location. Plume, can you stay here and call the authorities? Something might happen if Creaker gets here before the police do."

Plume nodded and immediately dialed one one zero. After introducing who she was, she gave the authorities a rundown of what happened. As for Satoshi, he cautiously headed outside, only following the Dex's location so he won't accidentally come in contact with Tunnel Visions' superpower.

[To your right]

"Right," Satoshi sprinted towards the corner and turned a sharp right, he immediately saw Tunnel Vision, blending through the crowd. He slowed down, then tailed him, hoping that he could get a jump on him soon.

But just when he was about to get him, Tunnel Vision glanced backward out of the blue, and he immediately recognized Satoshi. He broke into a sprint, and a split second later, he was gone from Satoshi's sight. Satoshi knew full well though that Tunnel Vision was right in front of him, he just couldn't see him because of his superpower. Furthermore, Dex kept on giving him updates on Tunnel Vision's location so even though he couldn't see him, he knew where he was.

Satoshi gave chase.

Tunnel Vision was confident that he used his superpower on Satoshi and that he pulled off another successful escape. That's why when he saw Satoshi still on his tail, he was flustered. How could he still see me? Did my superpowers not work?

One of the weaknesses of Tunnel Vision's superpower is that he had to have eye-to-eye contact with the person in order for it to work. That's why he avoids causing a ruckus since he couldn't give Tunnel Vision to the whole crowd. He was surprised though since Satoshi was not in the least bit affected by his superpower. "Did he have someone watching over me? No, that shouldn't be possible." He told himself— but that was the only explanation that made sense.

Tunnel Vision increased his pace and once again weaved through narrow alleyways and crannies. If there was someone overlooking him from afar, then he could easily dodge his or her sight by changing directions and using the buildings as cover. But Satoshi still kept chase.

"What's going on?!" Tunnel Vision clicked his tongue, slightly panicked. Unbeknownst to him, the one watching over him was right behind him, just invisible though.

Meanwhile, Satoshi just kept on running in the direction that Dex directed him to. He still couldn't see Tunnel Vision but he believed Dex is giving him the right directions.

Since he was getting nowhere, he decided to give White Lion specific instructions. Before he summoned him, he gave him a few orders, telling him to strike the man he described with lightning. The White Lion was confused but it was eager to get summoned, so it agreed.

"Let's go," Satoshi said.

In an instant, the White Lion was summoned, then he roared and struck someone with lightning. It all happened within a span of a split second so Tunnel Vision didn't have time to use his superpowers on Satoshi's familiar.

And just like Eye-Goddess, without his superpower, Tunnel Vision is just any ordinary guy. He fainted in an instant as soon as lightning struck him. Satoshi made sure that White Lion electrocuted him with manageable voltage though since he could easily die.

"Aghk~!"

Satoshi heard an exclamation and then in an instant, a man appeared a few meters in front of him, face-down, and unconscious. Satoshi heaved a sigh of relief. "Thanks for the cover, Dex," Satoshi said, giving Dex a thumbs up as he showed up.

[No worries, Satoshi, glad to be of help.]

White Lion also roared in satisfaction, to which Satoshi responded by giving him a pat on the head. After tying up Tunnel Vision using his own shirt. With him secured, Satoshi then gave a call to Plume, informing her of his successful capture. On the other end, Plume updated him about the authorities getting to the scene.

"I'll get there soon."

"Did you really catch the Tunnel Vision?" Plume couldn't believe it.

"Of course, I'll bring him there now."

Click!

Satoshi rode on his Nailgun, carrying Tunnel Vision on his shoulders. When he finally got to regroup with Eye-Goddess and Plume, the authorities began questioning him. Tunnel Vision is as slippery as an eel after all, and Satoshi was the first one to successfully capture him. "So much for your first day as an intern, huh." Eye-Goddess smiled, patting him on the shoulder.
