A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 1027 Misaka Collapse
Having decided to participate in this "duel," Misaka Mikoto naturally didn't want to be separated from Lin Wuming; at the same time, she didn't want to "share" her senior Wuming with anyone else—not even her best roommate, Shirai Kuroko.

Based on the subtext conveyed by Misaki Shokuhou when she "declared war," it seems that not participating in the duel would automatically disqualify her from being a "lover."

Therefore, Misaka Mikoto chose to agree to participate—and the extra individual insisted on intervening at this time for the same reason.

Furthermore, Misaka Mikoto has always been competitive and will never run away from a challenge.

It's worth noting that before officially confirming her feelings for Lin Wuming, Misaka Mikoto had challenged him to many duels; she even had one real duel.

However, due to various unforeseen circumstances, the outcome was not determined at the time.

Now that we have the opportunity, let's finish the duel we didn't finish last time!
Even without the strange reason of "harem permission," Misaka Mikoto would not refuse to duel with Lin Wuming.

However, if it were according to Misaka Mikoto's wishes, her duel with the nameless senior should have been more pure and even romantic.

No one else should interfere—including Misaki Shokuhou, Toumi Tohkazu, and Kuroko Shirai, as well as the extra characters and the other sisters!

Things shouldn't have turned out this way!
"...Big sister, big sister? Big sister..."

Misaka Mikoto ignored the calls from the side story characters or some Misaka Sisters.

The calls seemed to come from a distant place and could no longer attract her attention.

The essence of the extra chapter character is the collection of all the negative emotions of the Misaka Sisters, so in a sense, she can represent all the Misaka Sisters.

It is precisely because of this representativeness that when the extra character stands before her with sixteen Misaka Sisters, declaring that she also wants to participate in the "duel," it brings such a huge psychological shock to Misaka Mikoto.

Even if she doesn't admit it verbally, deep down, Misaka Mikoto has already acknowledged the legitimacy of their participation.

In other words, the "moral blackmail" by the extra characters was successful.

However, the individual in the side story didn't feel very happy—it seemed that the stimulation was a bit too much, and they felt that something about the older sister in front of them had broken down.

Misaka Mikoto stared blankly ahead, her pupils unfocused, her eyes filled with nothingness.

At the same time, a chilling aura was emanating from her.

Even though they were all high-level Electromasters, the Extra Individual and the Misaka Sisters still dared not make any rash moves, nor did they have the luxury of joining forces to launch a long-range electromagnetic cannon sniping attack. They could only watch helplessly as Lin Wuming was about to leave their field of vision.

—Rather than participating in the duel, what's more important right now is to be wary of my older sister who might go berserk at any moment!
Because it is a collection of negative emotions, the extra characters never hesitate to assume the worst about others—even the older sister, Misaka Mikoto.

Putting myself in her shoes, the author of this side story also feels that if the older sister were to adjust her strategy, eliminating the "competitors" first would be the most reasonable approach.

To their relief, Misaka Mikoto did not hold a grudge against them; in fact, Misaka Mikoto seemed to ignore her sisters who were right next to her and instead focused her attention on Lin Wuming, who was hurrying down the street below.

Thunderclouds gathered again in the sky, and flashes of lightning occasionally streaked through the thick clouds.

At the same time, Misaka Mikoto's body was also crackling with electricity, echoing the thunderclouds in the sky.

The extra character and her sisters behind her remained silent, only able to watch helplessly as their older sister, the world's strongest electric user, displayed her invincible superpowers.

A flash of lightning, a bolt of thunder, followed by a rumble of lightning. But the attack was ineffective. As if by premonition, Lin Wuming on the ground below had prepared for the electric shock and perfectly blocked Misaka Mikoto's seemingly inevitable strike.

The extra character's eyes narrowed—she couldn't fathom how Lin Wuming had managed to do that.

After this probing attack, Misaka Mikoto did not continue her attack, but suddenly turned to look at the extra individuals.

"Watch out!" one of the Misaka Sisters suddenly warned.

It turned out that Lin Wuming had launched a counterattack—a "psychic acceleration cannon" ripped through the sky and flew toward the rooftop where they were.

Misaka Mikoto, however, seemed oblivious and made no reaction whatsoever.

Out of instinct, the Misaka Sisters prepared to use their abilities to intercept the projectiles of the "Psycho-Acceleration Cannon"—small steel balls, which were exactly the kind of material that their "Electro-Master" abilities could manipulate.

But before they could make a move, they were stopped by the extra individual.

They weren't Level 5 superpowered beings, and by this point it was too late to stop them.

Moreover, the extra individual's ability level is higher, so they have already determined the trajectory of this "psychic acceleration cannon"—it only grazed the roof and would not pose a threat to anyone.

In other words, this attack was merely a warning from Lin Wuming, or rather, a probing counterattack.

Misaka Mikoto didn't turn around, but only showed a disappointed expression: "So, Nameless Senpai still doesn't consider me a real opponent?"

This exchange suggests that Lin Wuming had absolutely no intention of harming her.

Even knowing that a normal "psychic acceleration cannon" could not possibly harm Misaka Mikoto, he still deliberately missed, refusing to aim at her directly.

This is also a very annoying thing!

"Did you see that?" Misaka Mikoto asked indifferently. She ignored Lin Wuming, who had disappeared from sight, and instead looked at her group of sisters.

The Misaka Sisters looked at each other in bewilderment.

Misaka Mikoto's gaze swept over each of her sisters, finally settling on the face of the extra character: "I won't stop you. If you want to join the battle, then join; but as you just saw, your attacks won't be effective."

After all, even Misaka Mikoto's lightning attack was perfectly blocked. The electromagnetic cannon sniping planned by the Misaka Sisters was inferior in both speed and power, so there was no reason why such an attack would be effective.

“Even if you say that, Onee-sama,” the extra character stepped forward, “we will not give up. Participating in the war has its own value, even more important than winning the battle.” Misaka said frankly.

Misaka Mikoto gave a soft snort; she knew, of course, that there was a reason for participating in the duel.

However, Misaka Mikoto is tired now and she's too lazy to care about her sisters' little schemes anymore.

Anyway... as long as we defeat the nameless senior and win this duel, then none of these will be problems!
