1: 0.2 seconds after opening his eyes, Saiki Kusuo had understood
2(a): My powers...!?
2(b): I can't use my PSI powers anymore!?

-p2-
1: I can't hear anyone else's thoughts...!
2: Even though the second I wake up I'm usually flooded with enough dark, emotionally heavy thoughts to make someone want to sleep forever

-p3-
sfx: hop

-p4-
1: Woah... I fell!!
sfx: pat
2: I can't float in the air either!!

-p5-
sfx: grip

-p6-
sfx: thud

-p1-
1: Even when I throw a punch, it doesn't move an inch...!
2: Up until now I'd have destroyed not just the wall, but also everything 7 kilometers behind it!

-p2-
1: Plus... it hurts!
2: So this is the sensation called “pain”...!
sfx: throb throb throb throb throb
3: This is the first time I've ever felt pain from an external source... ouch... it hurts!! It hurts!!

-p3-
1: In any case I'm free...!
2: Free from the curse that is PSI...!

-p4-
1(a): Finally...!
1(b): Finally!!

-p5-
sfx: BOOM

-p6-
1: Huh?

-p7-
1: ...this is an emergency announcement!

-p8-
1(a): … a local gas station has exploded
1(b): Casualties from the explosion have...

1: 0.2 seconds after opening his eyes, Saiki Kusuo had understood
2(a): …......
1(b): a dream...

-p2-
1: siigh... another day at work...
2: Morning already...
3: I don't want to get up...
4: I feel depressed...
5: Another day huh......
saiki: yeah

-p3-
sfx: hop

-p4-
1: I thought so

-p5-
sfx: woosh

-p6-
1: No, I should stop here
sfx: halt
---

Page 5

-p1-
1: Geez, this morning is the worst
2: I had a dream...

-p2-
1: And the second I wake up...
sfx: pat

-p3-
1: My head hurts
sfx:
2: When I dream and end up with a headache, it means a “certain power” of mine has activated

-p4-
1: that power is “premonition”
sfx panel 3: slap
2: the ability to know something from the future before it even happens

-p5-
1: It's 100% certain that the dream I had will happen
2: Not the part where I can't use my powers though, that's just how my dreams always are
3: The real problem is the explosion. If I don't do something about that, it'll definitely occur

-p6-
1: Give me a break...

-p7-
1: Shall I do some quick heroism before breakfast then?

-p2-
1: This is the gas station that exploded in my dream
flag: tire inspection
1: What a pain, this is right next to my house... I better do something

-p3-
1: I am not a hero though
2: I only interfere in matters that would be personally beneficial or detrimental

-p4-
1: True, there have been times where I've technically saved others too
2: but as a general rule, I don't help other people

-p5-
1: I've saved the earth about 6 times in the past
2: but it was mostly for my own convenience

-p6-
1: The 1999 Nostradamus prediction and the Y2K problem were less than two years apart so it was pretty back breaking
2: and I wasn't sure what would happen with the Mayan apocalypse, but I managed somehow

-p7-
1: But that's not important
2: Right now, I have to do something about that explosion

-p2-
sfx: yoink

-p3-
1: That settles that. Now the explosion won't go off.
Sfx: catch

-p4-
1(a): I'm not joking around here
1(b): Accidents are all just the product of a series of coincidences, something that could even be described as miraculous
2(a): If you remove just one factor, then the result will change completely
2(b): For example...

-p5-
1: If I hadn't removed this rock
2: in about one minute

-p6-
1: A spirited high school girl wearing a miniskirt even though it's winter would be passing through
girl: Oh man~ I'm so laate~!
sfx: run run run run run run run
2: Since she's worried about being late, she'd be in a hurry

-p7-
1: Hence, she steps on the rock
---

Page 8

-p1-
1: She would flip over vigorously, as if she were unleashing a somersault kick or something
2: Now please watch the miraculous series of events which happen from here

-p2-
1: First off, using the momentum of the impact, the rock that she stepped on would go flying

-p3-
1: In it's path
2: a tanker truck carrying gasoline to the station

-p4-
1: The second he rolls down his power windows to talk to an employee
sfx: vrrrrr
guy: Sorry I'm late, the streets were really packed

-p5-
sfx: THUD
1: It slams directly into his skull

-p6-
1: The driver falls forwards, unconscious
sfx top: slump
white sfx: tap
sfx right: roll

-p7-
1: Inevitably, he steps down on the gas

-p8-
1: The tanker begins to move
sfx: vroooom
guy: Hey!? Wait... What's wrong!?
2: And in its path is...
---

Page 9

-p1-
1: the gas station, of course
sfx: SLAM
2: He crashes into the fuel dispenser

-p2-
1: Gasoline begins to leak onto the ground
2: While at the same time

-p3-
1: The high school girl from before is just now waking up
girl: Oww~...
2: Finding herself on the ground in quite an unbecoming pose

-p4-
1: Beside her is a single moped that was just passing by
sfx: vrrrmm
guy: Hm?
2: He notices the collapsed high school girl

-p5-
guy: Woah!
1: The male driver becomes fixated on staring

-p6-
1: Which results in
sfx: sliide
guy: Woah!!

-p7-
1: Tumbling over after not noticing the gasoline
sfx: sliiiiiide
guy: Wooaahh!!

Page 10

-p1-
1: The moped slides stylishly towards the gas station
sfx: tumble tumble tumble

-p2-
1: clank

-p3-
sfx: crack

-p4-
small text: murder switch~♪
sfx: BOOM
1: And it explodes

-p5-
1: Was this explanation beneficial to your understanding of the situation?
girl: Grr this car's in the way~!
Sfx: vrrrrr
2: This very incident was caused by this miraculous series of events, like something right out of a manga

-p6-
1: Even if the rock had still been still there
girl: Aw man~ I'm going to be late no matter what, so I'll just walk
sfx: walk walk walk
white sfx: tap
2: If the high school girl wasn't pressed for time, then it wouldn't go flying

-p7-
1: If she was wearing pants under her skirt, the moped wouldn't have toppled
guy: Damn. Where's the romance
---

Page 11

-p1-
1: If the tanker driver had opened the window even just a second later, the rock wouldn't have hit him
sfx: bang
guy: Woah

-p2-
1: Or if the driver had been just a little more capable, maybe he could have protected himself
sfx: Grab
guy: Who dares?

-p3-
1: No matter how big the incident, the trigger is always something small, and something small can be prevented
2: Well, this case was pretty simple since I saw everything from start to finish in my premonition dream

-p4-
1(a): Most of the time I only see the main result, so it's usually more troublesome
1(b): Well, I guess it's off to school then

-p5-
sfx: throb
1: Ow!
2: Guh...!

-p6-
1:My headache...!
sfx: whoosh

-p7-
sfx: whooooooosh
---

Page 12

-p1-
1: …...Give me a break...
sfx: throb
2: another premonition right after all that

-p2-
1: Not to mention this time it's my school that's on fire...? I think?
2: This time I get no hints other than the final result, huh...
sfx: rustle rustle

-p3-
1: For now I'll just get to school quickly
sfx: step step step

-p4-
nendou: Ou...ch...

1: … WOAH!! You sure brought a lot there Hairo!!
hairo: It was great for training...!
sfx: BAM

-p7-
1: We don't need that much! We're not trying to turn the teacher's lounge into a sauna!
2: Oh, sorry. I'll bring them back while doing bunny hops then
3: No! It's fine!
-p8-
1(a): I'll take care of it from here
1(b): Just leave them in the hallway
hairo: Yes sir!
