Misaka Mikoto had also used the Railgun, but it couldn't break through the barrier and flesh shield of the Fantasy Beast. She looked up and witnessed an incredible light streaking across the sky, piercing straight through the mountain of flesh-like monster.

"Roar--"

[Fantasy Beast] let out a mournful cry, and then disintegrated along with its core.

"My railgun? This power is ridiculously high..."

The brown-haired girl muttered to herself, a strong sense of frustration washing over her. The familiar electric field made her instantly realize who was behind it.

My "Railgun" was easily surpassed by him.

"So, the harem is the boy's true 'multi-talented ability'," Kiyama couldn't help but chuckle.

The [Liquid Membrane Railgun] continued its trajectory, heading straight for the center of the Seventh School District, and crashed into a windowless building.

"Boom!"

Finally, the coin, having exhausted its liquid protective film, melted in the high temperature, twisted into a ball, and became deeply embedded.

"Click——"

The chairman of the board heard a long-awaited knock on the door. The calculation-type impact-diffusion composite material shattered.

Are you there, Aleister?

"That was a truly exhilarating shot!"

In the setting sun, the black-haired youth's bangs fluttered in the wind. Beside him, the girl with cascading golden hair was disheveled by the gusts of wind, and she smiled with relief.

“Interesting☆”

Nangong said with lingering enthusiasm, "No wonder Misaka Mikoto loves playing coin toss so much. The feeling of precisely aiming at a target and then sending it soaring into the sky is just amazing!"

"Master, you're so mean..."

Junko Hokaze cast a resentful glance at her.

It's one thing to fire a gun at the Queen, but how did he also steal his female apprentice's first kiss?

Misaki Shokuhou is the only psychic-type esper, with a very long range of control.

Therefore, her liquid protective film never disappeared, and by using fluid dynamics, it greatly reduced friction, allowing her to accelerate almost infinitely within the slender magnetic tracks laid out by Nangong, thus achieving this effect.

That's the theoretical point, but the edifice of physics is already teetering on the brink of collapse.

Nangong praised, "Shokuhou's liquid protective film is very stable and has not evaporated at all."

"No, Lord Nangong's Railgun is amazing too☆ It changed my opinion about this ability☆"

In this process, Queen Bee was used as a cannon emplacement. The strap of her handbag, as always, sank deep into the ground, leaving much to the imagination.

As expected of the female protagonists, despite the increasing restraints on their abilities, their versatility remains very high.

After a round of mutual flattery, the black-haired youth disappeared from the spot.

"I'll leave it to you tonight."

"Evening...night?"

"Could it be that he's having a secret rendezvous with the Queen?!"

The girls, unaware of the situation, all misunderstood.

Misaki Shokuhou's chest heaved, unable to calm down for a long time. She could feel the immense recoil when activating the [Liquid Membrane Railgun], thankfully it had built-in shock absorbers.

it hurts...

"One day, I'll make him kneel down and call me 'Your Majesty'!"

The blonde girl was still muttering to herself when her loyal faction girl massaged her sore shoulders and took out a large comb from her bag to carefully smooth down every single strand of blonde hair that was sticking up due to static electricity.

Elegant and timeless.

The group of girls looked at each other in bewilderment.

Our queen seems to have developed a strange hobby.

Despite the danger, Misaka Mikoto ran against the flow of people through the nuclear power plant. Even automated nuclear reactors require human management, but the higher-ups had already issued an emergency evacuation order.

"Due to the monster's attack, the power supply outside the factory has been lost. All the emergency diesel generators have lost power, and even the remaining batteries..."

How can you guys be so calm about monsters appearing? Is this even normal in this world?

"Units 1, 2, 3, and 4 of the No. 1 nuclear power plant are rapidly heating up due to residual heat in the reactor core. The zirconium metal cladding reacts with water at high temperatures to produce a large amount of hydrogen gas, and an explosion is imminent!"

"Hey kid, what are you doing?"

"Get out of the way!"

The brown-haired girl ignored the engineer's attempts to stop her and headed towards the reactor core alone. She didn't even dare to use the power generation function again, lest the electric arc accidentally ignite the hydrogen.

The simplest idea is that restoring power with one's own body could save the nuclear power plant. Otherwise, the entire Academy City would face contamination from a nuclear explosion.

Many people will die.

The "fantasy beast" unleashed by Ms. Kiyama herself will not escape punishment. Between 10 students and over 230 million people, which is more serious?

This trolley problem will probably make the teacher spend the rest of his life in self-blame, right?

The radiation leak has already begun.

Misaka Mikoto's unconsciously released magnetic field can deflect some charged particles, but it can't deflect uncharged high-energy rays.

"You'll die under this level of ionizing radiation too," a familiar male voice said in my ear.

"You finally came."

Seeing the black-haired youth appear out of nowhere, Mikoto felt a great sense of relief.

With his multiple abilities, he'll definitely find a way! Before we knew it, we'd developed this relationship of trust.

Nangong Xuan didn't say anything, but simply took Mikoto's hand. His other hand, which had just held Queen Shokuhou, still retained its warmth.

This time, Misaka Mikoto did not resist and naturally intertwined her fingers.

The earliest and also the least popular ability—[Ray Deflection]!

It doesn't seem to be as useless as it seems.

The two of them were as if they were wearing an invisible leaden suit, easily excluding all radiation. The brown-haired girl felt the gentle "solar wind" on her face and knew that his ability was at work.

"Hey, are you alright?" Mikoto asked casually.

"No, what's wrong?"

Actually, she wanted to ask about the large hole created by the [telekinetic projectile]. Only when the two of them were alone would the girl reveal a glimpse of her true thoughts.

"You just recovered and then used that move again... Doesn't it hurt?"

Nangong smiled and said, "My chest is empty."

Even the pain is not felt—although it's a very cheesy line, there's no need to use it to elicit sympathy from young girls.

"Is the reaction time of [A Certain Scientific Railgun] really that long? They should learn from [Celestial Clothes]."

"Urusay!"

Misaka Mikoto was furious. Her well-intentioned concern was met with complete ingratitude.

The closer the two got to the reactor core, the hotter it felt.

"So hot……"

The tea-haired girl was drenched in sweat and had to open the collar of her Tokiwadai uniform. Her messy bangs clung to her forehead, and her soaked shirt revealed glimpses of her beauty, making Nangong Du glance at her a few times.

What made Mikoto most embarrassed was that her safety shorts were completely soaked.

Nangong said honestly, "If you want to take off your clothes, I don't mind."

“Who wants it?”

Unfortunately, the "constant temperature storage" setting cannot be used in this situation.

Then...

Heal!

"Hey?"

Misaka Mikoto suddenly felt the temperature drop.

Nangong said, "Both of our body temperatures are in a continuous state of [recovery]."

"Wow, that's amazing... You can even do something like that?" Mikoto was shocked.

In this way, even if the body is exposed to radiation, it can recover instantly. Using this ability so frequently puts a huge burden on Nangong Xuan's mind.

And so, the young man and woman walked hand in hand toward the reactor core, which was on the verge of melting. The enormous reactor device brought with it a wave of heat that was almost suffocating.

“It’s a boiling water reactor,” Mikoto murmured. “I learned about it in my school textbooks. The control rods are inserted from the bottom of the core upwards, and unlike pressurized water reactors, they don’t fall down due to gravity in the event of a power outage.”

And so, disaster struck.

The heart of the furnace melts.

If this continues, the reactor core will continue reacting for decades, eventually burning through the surface and sinking underground. This would be a disaster for Academy City and the entire island nation, provided that nuclear contamination does not spread worldwide.

Why does it feel so familiar?
