Well, that all went very well indeed. At least as well as could be expected, at any rate, if only for those who don't depend on oil wells for thier money. Still, only three assassination AND sabotage attempts, combined? Well now, I suppose they're going to start busting out the big guns now that things have been proven to work. At least Daisaku is with the Gremory couple, that should keep him safe for the moment, if anyone wanted to try the indirect route. Also, Grayfia playing with her husband and kid as the Masked Maid is just absolutely adorable.

I mean, it should've been obvious that there would be various attempts on his life if he introduces something out of the world to the normal populace. It's the same in our world. Not like it's gonna do anything to Jirou. With how sturdy his supernatural body is, normal weapons can't harm him.

Nice chapter, So are supernatural CIA agents gonna show up now that the mundane assassins have failed.

The invention really changes everything. Not just Oil tycoons being affected. He proved that a highschool hid can build a model with his budget and resources, so anyone with a bit of know how would be able to follow the blueprints and later on the instructional videos they will pop up. What this means is a lot of people will be able to build their own energy generation. All those people who want to live off the grid can do that. Anyone who wants can just buy a piece of cheap lat out in the boonies and rig up power then build a house and live there at a very low cost. Cities won’t be as needed for a high quality of living below a certain point. So people do not need to work most of their life just to afford to live. This literally fits in a truck, so you can just buy a truck and live on the move if you really want to. So this disrupts the established status quo in a big way. It won’t be instant but the exploitation of people will be a lot less easy when they can just relocate to anywhere without losing access to electricity. If he next makes futuristic 3D printers he will upend things in a major way. Also sanctions lose their meaning when energy is mainly free. So this also be majorly disrupts geopolitical and societal norms. Also the funny thing is that the byproduct is a non renewable resource. Some people might run the generator to get helium.

I feel like after the big reveal only the most short sighted and emotional (and thus less dangerous) of the people who wanted to stop Fusion power from spreading will continue the attacks. Most likely the OPEC countries and the USA will just pivot a massive amount of their funds towards becoming leaders in gathering, processing (if China hasn't already got that part on lock down yet) and making the elements and pieces necessary to produce Fusion Generators, and honestly it's not like things will change that fast, especially with oil since so much of daily life relies on current transport infrastructure and cheap plastic. When the cat's out of the bag only the dumbest, poorest and most desperate keep running after it, everybody else is to some degree trying to figure out what's next instead and prepare/profit for that.

Well, it'll take a few days for reality to catch up with them, but the assassins sent specifically because of fusion power should peter off quickly with the information being widely disseminated. Oil profiteers will soon have their hands full trying (and ultimately failing) to suppress large countries from rapidly converting to fusion power. Every person/group wants energy independence unless they're personally making big bucks from the current status quo, after all. The real threats should be from supernatural factions who don't like the promise of Jiro inventing more technology that's disruptive to their interests . Which means increasing the supernatural/technological protections the mansion, the academy, and Kuoh as a whole has (in that order of priority). Both the Gremory and Sitri should be willing to extend a hand there, since their daughters are also potentially in the crossfire and Jiro has now thoroughly proven himself an asset worth investing in.

That would make sense, but I think a lot of them might Sunk Cost themselves into thinking they can keep going as they are, or else try and get revenge/stop him from doing it again rather than focusing wholly on the future. I don't have faith in people generally being rational actors, especially people with power.

While this might be happening too fast for Daisaku, Jiro's dad, Jiro should probably convince him to leave his current job and be hired at Erect Solutions. Real soon. It's just much more practical: 1. Erect solutions needs trustworthy new employees to start growing. Including middle managers. Daisaku's career will also be all-around better there, for too many reasons to count. 2. Safety. Daisaku living/working on property owned/protected by Jiro eliminates tons of concerns regarding enemy actors. 3. Family cohesion. Just because the two were living cities apart for awhile doesn't mean it was a healthy dynamic. And regarding Aoko's rearing and adjustment, Sona's parents and Daisaku are probably Aoko's "least different" parental figures due to grandparents generally not changing as much as younger family members over the course of a decade.

Is it fanon that the USA has a Longinus wielder in their government?
