This woman is Misaka Mikoto, one of the seven who stand at the pinnacle of Academy City, ranked third, and known as the "Railgun"!

"Ah?"

Before the delinquents could react, a dazzling burst of lightning erupted from the alley.

"Bilibili——"

Faced with the electric current sweeping along the ground, the black-haired youth peacefully closed his eyes.

My approach to anime must be wrong!

Why does the story begin with "the beauty saving the hero"?

Chapter 006 The Cannon Hero, Misaka Mikoto

On his very first day in this world, he was subjected to the "Railgun" attack. Nangong Xuan could feel a surge of electricity coursing through his body, a tingling, numb sensation.

It's been so long since I've felt this way.

Something like this happened before. When I was little, I was curious about the electrical outlet at home, and foolishly stuck my finger in it. I got shocked and my skin was charred, but I didn't know to let go. My parents rushed over and saved my life.

Years later, I finally understood the tears my family shed.

It was only then that I realized what a freak I was, being unable to feel pain, and I learned to protect myself in this empty, numb, and insensitive world.

"Electricity was just a toy from my childhood."

When the black-haired youth opened his eyes, the delinquents who had been extorting money from him were already lying on the ground.

"thump--"

The people around were electrocuted and convulsed like frogs, unable to even groan.

Nangong Xuan instinctively raised one hand, thinking he would be electrocuted. But to his surprise, he found that the affected area was rapidly recovering.

The electric shock from Misaka Mikoto (Railgun) opened up my meridians, and I suddenly had an epiphany.

No, that's not right!

Thinking about it carefully, it seems like something has entered my mind.

From the very beginning, the usage of 【Heal】 was already etched deep into the minds of the time travelers.

I was chosen by this world to become the "Hero of Healing," even though the world of A Certain Magical Index doesn't seem to have the concept of a hero class.

"You can withstand my electric shocks?"

Misaka Mikoto looked at the only black-haired youth standing on the field with a surprised expression.

"No, it seems to have healed itself automatically. Is it a physical regeneration ability user? It shouldn't be able to neutralize electric current. Seriously, several guys have suddenly appeared overnight, relying on strange abilities to be immune to me."

A Pikachu with 100,000 volts... no, a Railgun, alive!

Seeing the real person from the anime for the first time, Nangong Xuan was a little excited. But when he tried to interact with the anime character, he discovered a harsh truth.

I don't understand.

"Hey, why are you ignoring me? Is this how you treat your savior?" The brown-haired girl already showed her displeasure.

If it's a visual novel, there should be a notification here indicating a decrease in affection level.

Nangong smiled wryly, "That's why I can't understand Japanese..."

"Speaking Chinese, are you a Chinese student studying abroad?"

In this international academic city, it's not surprising to often encounter blond-haired, blue-eyed foreigners, but guests from the mysterious Eastern superpower are a rare sight.

Misaka Mikoto forced a smile, then greeted her international friend with a Japanese accent, saying, "Hello~".

A well-behaved and academically excellent young lady, she takes university-level courses at Tokiwadai. After undergoing brain development, she also displays astonishing linguistic talent, becoming fluent in multiple languages, including English, French, Russian, and Italian.

I haven't spoken much Chinese, so I guess I'm still not very good at it.

Nangong racked his brains and awkwardly replied, "What, what kind of chicken are you?"

It is all that I have learned in my life.

It seems that Misaka Mikoto held back. With Level 5's control over electricity, she could even precisely avoid herself in a crowd, only causing a minor "collateral damage".

Nangong Xuan scratched his head; his hair had turned into an afro from the residual static electricity. Strands of hair stood straight up, impossible to suppress.

The spiky-haired guy immediately exclaimed that he was an expert.

The reason why the male protagonist's hairstyle in the anime is always the same has been found.

I don't know if it's because the expression in anime is more exaggerated. In Nangong's understanding, an electric arc that can be seen with the naked eye and can penetrate the air is already a terrifying high voltage, but in reality it is still within the range that the human body can withstand.

The Railgun, when used against criminal gangs, only manages to subdue them with the force of a stun gun, without causing any real damage.

She is too kind.

"sister!"

Another girl with brown hair suddenly appeared and hugged Mikoto tightly. Her voice was sweet and saccharine, with a hint of lesbianism.

Now I understand.

Also wearing the Tokiwadai uniform, with twin ponytails tied with ribbons, naturally curly. Seems to be the perverted yuri fan in the story, Level 4 [Spatial Teleportation]—Shirai Kuroko.

It's written as "black-hearted" but read as "perverted".

The girl with twin tails complained, "As the Electric Princess of Tokiwadai, it's not allowed to go out at night after school, you know."

"That's not true at all," Mikoto argued. "Oh, right, I was just doing a good deed. A boy from China was being bullied..."

"That's the duty of the disciplinary committee. As an ordinary citizen, you shouldn't abuse your power!"

Shirai Kuroko wore a green armband resembling that of a disciplinary committee member on her shoulder. She showed no fear even when facing the third most powerful esper, striking a lecturing pose with her hands on her hips.

"It was just an attempted extortion. Even if we caught them, we'd only give them a warning and let them go. Although I really want to arrest these guys... Big sister, don't forget that curfew is coming soon."

This twin-tailed girl has a unique, high-class tone that ends with "desu no (yes)", which is quite captivating.

"Oh no, Kuroko!"

The thought of the terrifying dormitory supervisor made Misaka Mikoto panic. Before she could even ask, Shirai Kuroko had already taken her sister's hand and vanished from the spot.

"Alright, let's hurry back." Only the voice of the perverted yuri drifted away in the wind.

The poor time traveler was utterly ignored.

Nangong Xuan rubbed his eyes to make sure the two girls had disappeared from his sight.

The superpowered user of "instant teleportation" is indeed just the mount of [Railgun]. This useful superpower is as unbelievable as the magic trick of making people disappear.

I'm truly living in the world of anime and manga.

When Nangong closed his eyes, the image of being saved by Misaka Mikoto was deeply imprinted in his mind.

The sun sets in the west at the entrance of an alley in Academy City.

The tea-haired girl, casually carrying her bag, paused and glanced back. Her eyes were clear, and her profile was beautiful. The electric current emanating from her fingertips seemed to transcend dimensional barriers, transforming into the most beautiful scene deep within her memory.

"The electric light at your fingertips is my unwavering faith in this life"—the lyrics of the anime hit song "Only My Railgun" are like Misaka Mikoto's character song, and you can see colorful bullet comments in various support videos on Bilibili.

Even Bilibili, the video sharing website with the highest concentration of anime and manga content, was originally named after Misaka Mikoto's nickname, "Bilibili".

I'm past the age of being a rebellious teenager.

To be honest, it's quite embarrassing to see the comments I used back then, which were also part of the trend. It's practically a dark history.

He was never a hero saving a damsel in distress, nor could he be called a hero. He was just a "bear" who was saved by a girl. He was an extra who would ignore the female protagonist in the animation if she stood in front of him and couldn't even say a word.

Nangong looked at his hands, then clenched his fists tightly.

If I truly possessed the abilities from "The Healer," I might even be able to copy superpowers. One day, I might even be able to take down the "Railgun"!

"So……"

Looking at the delinquents lying haphazardly on the ground, Nangong Xuan had a bold idea.

Misaka Mikoto defeated so many "monsters" that she had no interest in picking up the loot. But for me, who is currently weak, it's ready-made spoils.

Let's test the power of [Reply] a little.

The black-haired youth crouched down, enduring the stench of smoke and alcohol, and pressed one hand against the delinquent's head. As he chanted a mysterious incantation, a faint green light emanated from his hand, and the latter's body immediately stopped convulsing.

"Ping—"

This feeling is...

Nangong's pupils contracted, his perspective shifting. He felt as if he had been transported into the body of a delinquent, witnessing and enduring Misaka Mikoto's electric shocks once again.

This power is completely different!

Not just in the present moment, but every moment of pain, despair, and fear experienced by this body in the past, every negative emotion, is intertwined and thoroughly imprinted in its mind, just like experiencing the entire life of "starting from scratch as a delinquent in Academy City".

"The life of a useless, incompetent person is so painful..."

From a negative perspective, I have cried out in despair countless times, struggling with pain from the depths of my heart.

Nangong Xuan, however, had never experienced this.

So that's what "pain" is. The pain from being electrocuted, corporal punishment from a school teacher, a late-night street fight, a knife piercing the body... each method brings subtle differences in the sensation of pain, just like the different levels of spiciness and flavor when eating hot pot.
