Temperature Control in Academy City

But before the Misaka sisters could finish explaining the contents of the regulations, they fell one by one like dominoes, from near to far, in less than the blink of an eye.

"Natsume-san is really decisive."

There were little stars in Shokuhou Misaki's pupils, but she didn't seem that surprised.

"With control abilities like that, Natsume-san is definitely a hot candidate for the next level 5." Senior Shokuhou Misaki said expectantly.

"Eh?!"

"Then I'll be leaving first. Hokaze is still waiting for me. Even though I wasn't able to help this time, I'm looking forward to Natsume-san's next request."

Following the line of sight of senior Shokuhou Misaki, a girl from Tokiwadai with purple princess curls was standing at the end of the alley, and Shokuhou Misaki also waved towards the alley.

"How could that be? It's a great help to me that Shokuhou-senpai is willing to come." Natsume Sonoko's face flushed slightly.

As the light faded, a girl who was slightly taller than Natsume appeared next to her.

The unconscious Misaka sisters were floating in the air out of thin air, and the angle was slightly controlled so that the Misaka sisters did not expose themselves.

Dividing their minds into two, the Misaka sisters, under the control of Zero, headed towards the Misaka Apartment.

On the other side, Natsume was heading in the opposite direction, his destination being the battlefield of Misaka-senpai and Accelerator.

.....

In a building still under construction in the seventh school district, the railings used to assist in the construction have not yet been removed, and exposed steel bars are everywhere.

"Hey, why don't you wear goggles?" Accelerator said in a somewhat vicious voice, and then he was met with an electric shock like a bucket, but it was blocked by an arm.

"The strength has increased a lot. It turns out that the real body came today. But it's the same. Maybe it can cheer me up a little."

Accelerator was sitting on the rooftop of the building, and he glanced at the approaching railgun with some surprise. There was no extra emotion in his eyes, not even a sense of trouble.

He stood up slowly, and before he could flap his trouser legs, all the dust that was stuck on him fell off automatically. Accelerator raised his head and stretched it as if he was warming up.

Chapter 146 Accelerator

Above this unfinished building, a layer of gray granular material appeared in mid-air at some point, covering most of the sky like a dark cloud pressing down on a city.

"How can I put it? Your clone is too weak. I am not excited at all. But since you are the 'original', you might be able to surprise me."

With a slight frown, Accelerator found that the sky had become too dark today. Looking up, he saw a layer of black iron sand like a curtain.

Above the iron sand layer, in places invisible to the naked eye, several huge iron sand windmills have appeared. They generate huge electric currents by cutting the magnetic field lines, and replenish the electric currents in the iron sand layer with the help of the night wind. This not only reduces the difficulty of control for Senior Misaka, but also stores more and more electricity in it.

Just as Accelerator was looking at the iron sand layer in the sky, a huge black substance also climbed up from the outer wall of the building, dyeing the building black.

Like a gecko climbing a wall, a huge amount of iron sand gathered together and quietly came to the rooftop of the building.

Similarly, every floor of the building was almost filled with the controlled iron sand, causing the building to become a huge magnet, just supporting the black curtain in the sky.

As more and more iron sand gathered, the vibration of the building became more and more obvious, which made Accelerator notice the changes around him, but he still watched quietly.

“I see. I was wondering who would be so bored as to put so much iron sand near a building that hasn’t even been built yet.” Accelerator suddenly understood.

"How could I not make some preparations to deal with you?"

Walking out of the darkness, Misaka-senpai, who was wearing ordinary casual clothes, suppressed her anger and spoke word by word.

In order to deal with this battle with Accelerator, Misaka-senpai made as much preparation as possible, but it seems that the chances of winning are still slim.

The electric current emitted from Misaka-senpai's body roamed around the building unscrupulously, controlling a portion of the iron sand on the building as if it were controlling its own body, and transporting them to the battlefield between itself and Accelerator.

"Really? Then I can wait and see. You better do your best, Misaka Mikoto."

Accelerator showed a hint of interest on his face, and he leaned forward slightly, stepping forward with his left foot.

A huge hole suddenly appeared on the rooftop. As the hole appeared, dozens of broken stones of various sizes flew up and rushed towards Misaka Mikoto who was not far away.

As long as you look down along the hole, you can see that it is full of densely packed moving iron sand, which is simply good news for people with trypophobia. At this time, it also begins to rush towards the rooftop frantically.

The flying rock hit Misaka-senpai's face, but was immediately blocked by an electromagnetic barrier, turning into stone powder all over the sky.

At this time, the iron sand that poured out of the hole began to cover the entire rooftop, and at the same time merged with the iron sand that poured out from the outer wall of the building.

Then, iron sand all over the mountains began to gather, as if controlled by an invisible arm, and in the blink of an eye, a huge black tornado was formed, wrapping Accelerator tightly inside.

Starting from his feet, all the way to over his head, Accelerator quietly watched himself being submerged by iron sand. His head was slightly lowered, his bangs covering his face, and only the smile that was always on the corner of his mouth could be seen.

The tornado raged on the rooftop, covering almost half of it. All kinds of buildings and waste were blown away in the first place, and even steel bars and concrete were uprooted, forming a bare plane with only some very conspicuous holes visible.

Not daring to save her computing power at all, as the tornado continued to expand and its frequency increased, Misaka-senpai couldn't help but take a deep breath. The normal air concentration could no longer meet the consumption, and her brain had already sent out a signal that it was craving for oxygen.

Misaka-senpai clenched her hands suddenly, and the tornado began to shrink at the bottom, and a slender black column pierced straight into the clouds.

Ten seconds, fifteen seconds, and when it was twenty seconds, the tornado finally stopped. Black raindrops began to fall all around the building. The ground was filled with fine iron sand, almost raising the roof by half a meter.

Iron sand was scattered all around, and Accelerator walked out of the tornado intact, stepping on the thick black carpet.

"Is this your trick? It looks interesting, and I don't want to ruin this interesting scene. But, after the truth is revealed, it won't be a big deal."

With a hand on his shoulder and a strange smile on his face, Accelerator's eyes turned fierce, like a qualified villain.

"If you can't show me some skills that are acceptable to me next time, I will not easily forgive you for ruining my experiment."

His sight sharpened, and Accelerator looked directly into Misaka-senpai's eyes.

"How is it possible that he was unharmed after being hit by that move?"

Senior Misaka's expression was somewhat moved. After all, she was the third in Academy City, but she suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness.

However, Senior Misaka regained her composure in an instant. Although Accelerator's information was confidential in Academy City, she still managed to find out some of his information through hacking.

His real name is unknown, and his ability is vector manipulation, which specifically means he can control the direction of all energy including kinetic energy, thermal energy, and electrical energy.

This ability can restrain most of the ability users, but as long as one is a ability user, there will be a limit to their computing power. Senior Misaka looked at the black curtain in the sky, and a spirit of unwillingness to admit defeat surged in her heart.

"Today is the day for the experiment, but there are no clones to be seen. Even the guys who were responsible for cleaning up the battlefield didn't see any."

Accelerator stood at the edge of the building, looking at the brightly lit Academy City in the distance, muttering to himself.

"Why are you talking to yourself? Don't ignore me." Senior Misaka said loudly at this time.

A bright orange-yellow beam of light emitted astonishing heat, and with the help of countless magnetic iron sands on the ground, its speed reached an unprecedented level.

The enormous kinetic energy and heat of the railgun hit Accelerator's body in an instant.

But the next second, the speed of the railgun became faster, but its direction was changed and it hit Misaka Mikoto's body.

The electromagnetic barrier on the body surface emerged, slightly offsetting the angle of the railgun. The orange-yellow beam of light was drawn into the black iron sand layer, and a dense burst of black raindrops appeared again.

"Really? I'm just waiting for you to make a move. Otherwise, do you think you can still stand and talk to me?" Accelerator turned around with a meaningful smile on his face.

"You know, iron sand is something that more than just you can control." Accelerator took a step forward, and the black ground immediately became uneven.

A large black net stretched out from the ground and instantly wrapped around Misaka-senpai's body.

Dazzling blue sparks flashed, and the net fell apart. When the iron sand fell to the ground, Senior Misaka regained control of the iron sand.

"Why would you join this kind of plan? With your ability, no one should be able to force you to join."

When she landed again, Misaka-senpai's clothes had several holes in them, but she looked directly at Accelerator.

"Why are you asking this suddenly?" Accelerator stopped what he was doing, scratched his back, and said with a puzzled look.

"To put it simply, of course, it's to become the one who obtains absolute power. Not level 5, not the strongest in Academy City, not such boring things, but absolute power that does not allow others to challenge me."

Accelerator became serious, raising his arm slightly, as if he had touched something very important.

"I want to gain absolute power. You are also level 5, so you should understand that."

Accelerator looked at Misaka-senpai, whose expression became increasingly gloomy, and a hint of anticipation appeared on his face.

"Absolute power, that kind of thing... is nothing!"

The moment she looked up, Misaka-senpai's eyes were filled with inexplicable anger, and the layer of black iron sand that covered half of the sky gradually emitted a dazzling light.

Several iron sand windmills were spinning rapidly, and a large amount of electric charge formed a huge electric current sphere in the air, dyeing the black iron sand into a dazzling white, and the sky suddenly became bright.

Senior Misaka's body was pulled by the electric current in the sky and floated in the air. Dozens of chains made of iron sand covered the surroundings and spread across the entire rooftop of the building.

Using these chains, all the gathered electric currents can be directed into this space in an instant, forming an unimaginable electromagnetic storm.

"Interesting, that much electricity is enough for the Seventh School District to use for a day."

Accelerator suddenly laughed and said, leaning forward slightly, crushing the ground, and leaping into the air.

White, the whole world seemed to have turned white, as clean as a piece of paper without any graffiti on it, somewhat out of place in Academy City.

The electric current was like a flood, mixed with the shrill cries of thousands of birds, some of which even exceeded the audible limit of human ears.

A huge electric current field was stimulated within the range of the chain. The white light ignited the entire building. Dozens of small light balls fell onto the roof one after another, and strong electromagnetic storms continued to occur in between.

As a huge electromagnetic storm emerged, the magnetic field between the building and the iron sand curtain became chaotic, and the iron sand curtain in the sky began to fall continuously. Several windmills were broken into particles at once, but most of them remained in the sky.

A large amount of iron sand was burnt and melted. Although one could not see what was happening inside, a unique burnt smell mixed with the smell of metal came over, causing Senior Misaka to cover her nose unconsciously.

"How's the situation inside?"

Senior Misaka was not hurt by the electric current. Instead, she slightly widened her eyes and tried to observe the movements inside the white light curtain.

She felt a little uneasy in her heart. Even Misaka-senpai herself was surprised at the strength of this move. She originally just wanted to use the power of nature to enhance her abilities, but the final product far exceeded her original expectations.

However, it is not very convenient to use. First, you have to magnetize the iron sand to turn it into a magnet and form a repelling magnetic field. Only then will it be possible to send the iron sand into the air for a long time without exhausting your computing power.

The next step is to build windmills to generate electricity and gather electric current in the air, which also requires extremely precise control. However, the final attack stage is much simpler.

Moreover, due to the gathering of an extremely large magnetic field, the efficiency of cutting the magnetic lines of force far exceeded expectations, and the gathered current was even about to exceed the limit of Misaka-senpai's control.

"Saying that it's for absolute power is really too much." Misaka-senpai's eyes were inexplicably dim.

The white light finally began to disappear, the surrounding magnetic field gradually began to stabilize, and the iron sand curtain in the sky stopped falling.

As Misaka-senpai looked over, the original rooftop had long since disappeared, and even the floor below was filled with melted iron sand, but the only thing missing was Accelerator's figure.

Suddenly, Misaka-senpai's stomach was hit hard, and she curled up unconsciously. Her stomach churned and a sour taste surged into her mouth.

"Hahaha, what a magnificent performance! I can't help but applaud you. As expected, the original is much more interesting than the clone."

With a wanton laugh on his face, Accelerator's fist suddenly hit Misaka-senpai's stomach, almost making her unconscious.

As Misaka-senpai looked over, a hint of despair appeared in her eyes.

At this time, Accelerator was intact, not even his clothes were torn, and his face was flushed with excitement.

"If you could gather Academy City's daily electricity consumption, you might be able to hurt me."

"This is so funny, I can't bear to kill you." Accelerator said with a wild laugh.

He retracted his fist and let Misaka-senpai fall to the ground.

Senior Misaka gritted her teeth, steadied herself, and finally staggered onto the liquid iron sand that had not yet solidified.

With her feet suspended in the air, only one step away from the scorching iron sand, the enormous heat caused beads of sweat to remain on Misaka-senpai's face.

"You are either stupid or naive to go to such lengths for something that can be manufactured endlessly at the push of a button."

Accelerator's figure suddenly appeared and kicked Misaka-senpai, directly breaking through Misaka-senpai's electromagnetic barrier. She was thrown out again, but she was not thrown out of the building. Instead, she grabbed the edge of the roof with one hand.

"Commodities? Oh, stop deceiving yourself!"

There was blood on Misaka-senpai's forehead and her vision became blurred, but Misaka-senpai's other hand was slightly bent, forming a fist, and then clenched it hard.

For a moment, the world turned upside down, but the two poles that were originally repelling each other now turned around, and under the sudden attraction, all the iron sand became restless again.

Chapter 147 Arrival at the Scene

The building began to shake the moment the magnetic field flipped, and even the earth began to shake violently.

Time passed in the blink of an eye, and perhaps even a normal person didn't have time to react, and the entire space became squeezed and closed.

Endless black iron sand came from all directions, squeezing towards the center of the magnetic field. The stronger the repulsive force was before, the more amazing the force generated by the attraction between the two poles was now.

The iron sand was accelerated by the huge gravitational force and turned into sharp blades that could easily penetrate hard objects. Coupled with the terrifying number, it can almost be regarded as the top physical attack that a person with special abilities can create.

Accelerator, who was at the center of the attack, also noticed the changes around him at the first moment.

A look of surprise appeared on his face, and he looked with some surprise at Misaka Mikoto, who had already let go of the edge of the building and was using her ability and gravity to move away from this area.

Even as the initiator of the attack, she could not avoid being hurt by this indiscriminate attack. She could only dodge the center position one step in advance, but her body was still within the attack range.

Although Accelerator's brain was able to keep up with the changes around him, his body seemed to be a beat slower. In an instant, he was surrounded by iron sand that was like sharp blades, and fell into an almost endless attack.
