Starting with Naruto, I'll become stronger through my own efforts.

Chapter 94

After blocking the bullet, Kiyama Haruo glanced at the guards firing in the front row.

These well-trained guards instantly lost consciousness, turned their guns on their colleagues, and began killing each other.

This is Lv4 level consciousness manipulation!!

The unaffected guards quickly knocked down the person being controlled and then attacked with all their might, but they were not real soldiers and their equipment was clearly insufficient to fight against a powerful being.

Especially when facing a powerful individual with multiple superpowers, the security force appears utterly powerless.

Kiyama Harumi then demonstrated his Lv4 level elemental control, with floods, storms, and flames instantly overwhelming the guards' firepower and destroying their vehicles.

Of course, what the guards found most unbearable was when their own men were suddenly controlled by the enemy and shot at them from behind.

Although Kiyama Harumi deliberately controlled the screams that echoed as bullets hit the bulletproof vests on the overpass, they quickly disappeared completely along with the gunshots.

Faced with the pincer attack created by Kiyama Harumi alone, the security guards, who were ordinary people, were completely defeated in less than 2 minutes.

When Misaka Mikoto arrived, the security guards of the 7th District branch had been wiped out, while the suspect they were trying to arrest, Kiyama Harumi, was unharmed, except for some wrinkles and dust on his clothes.

This is a world where superpowers and magic vie for supremacy. Apart from organized regular armies, those with great abilities completely crush ordinary people.

The gap in strength between those with superpowers and ordinary people can no longer be bridged by unwavering faith.

On a battlefield where the enemy and our forces are vastly unequal and we are fighting hand to hand, it is a mistake to simply emphasize unwavering conviction.

For a firm belief to be effective, it should be applied to persistent research.

Research superpowers, research technology, and invent weapons that ordinary people can use to fight against superpowered individuals.

Based on this, we will further study tactics for countering those with special abilities.

Only when one's overall strength surpasses that of the other can one achieve victory on the battlefield.

Misaka Natsusa concluded in her mind.

She arrived after sensing the power fluctuations of the powerful magnetic ability user. Due to the distance, she arrived almost at the same time as Misaka Mikoto, only to witness the final scene of the entire security team being wiped out.

Fortunately, although Kiyama Harumi was an eccentric, she was also a kind woman.

Even when attacked by the security guards, they did not kill him; the guards simply passed out.

At this moment, Kimura Harumi's expression was not good, as Misaka Mikoto, the most famous Level 5 esper in Academy City, stood in front of her.

It was incredibly unlucky. The disciplinary committee saw through the scheme ahead of time, and although they defeated the guards using their pre-prepared superpowers, they were then intercepted by a top-tier ability user.

Kiyama Haruo couldn't help but wonder if he could really save the children today.

She licked her lips and pleaded, "Level 5 esper Misaka Mikoto, could you give me a little time?"

"I don't want to fight you, I don't want to fight anyone, I'm just saving people."

"Once I have saved those poor children, I will wake everyone up, and I will not sacrifice anyone."

"I swear!"

Misaka Mikoto, being such a straightforward little girl, couldn't understand such tactful requests; in her eyes, they were all just excuses.

She shouted angrily, "Don't be ridiculous! You took advantage of the desperation of those without or with low ability in the academy, manipulating people's hearts and minds, causing so many to fall into a coma. You think you can get rid of me with a mere plea for such a crime?"

"You're dreaming!"

"Those who were seduced by the Imagine Breaker you created, their desires aroused, and ended up in prison for crimes; those who fell into a coma without doing anything—are you just going to let them suffer the consequences?"

"If you want to save people, go save them yourself. Why hurt so many people?"

"Are the number of people you're trying to save more than the number of people you've hurt?"

Kiyama Harumi was speechless, unable to utter a single word.

She knew perfectly well that the computational power of the brain she now controlled was comparable to that of a tree diagram designer, so it was conceivable that the number of people who fell into comas as a result was far greater than the number of children she was trying to save.

A moment later, Kiyama Harumi, enraged and embarrassed, exclaimed, "I can't care about that anymore!"

"I'm going to save my children. Once I find a way to save them, I will never resist again, and you can do whatever you want with me."

Misaka Mikoto firmly refused, saying, "Kiyama-sensei, now—I can no longer trust you."

"As expected, we still have to fight."

Despite being rejected by Lv5, Kiyama Harumi was not discouraged.

She knew, of course, that Level 5 espers stood at the pinnacle of espers in Academy City, but she was now a Level 4 esper with multiple abilities, so she was naturally capable of fighting against one.

Kiyama Harumi's gaze sharpened, and Misaka Mikoto and the bridge she was on immediately collapsed into pieces, causing the two of them to fall off the bridge.

Lv4 level matter shattering!

A fierce clash between Lv5 and Lv4 under the bridge.

On the bridge, the remaining security personnel arrived. Some rescued the unconscious security personnel who had been knocked down, while others began setting up grappling hooks in preparation for Misaka Mikoto to arrest Kiyama Haruo.

Even faster than the security guards was Shirai Kuroko.

As a spatial ability user, she is slower than Misaka Mikoto because she doesn't know the spatial coordinates here and cannot guarantee safe teleportation. She can only teleport here in segments within her field of vision.

Because a buffer period is needed after each teleportation, the speed is much slower than high-speed flight by electromagnetic force.

But before Shirai Kuroko could teleport to the underpass, Misaka Mikoto had already defeated Kiyama Harumi and returned to the underpass with the limp and powerless female researcher.

Misaka Natsusa, who was observing from a short distance away, smiled and shook her head.

She had previously discovered that Accelerator's abilities were virtually invincible, but he himself severely lacked combat experience and even basic awareness of danger.

Misaka Mikoto is even worse than Accelerator. Apart from straightforward attacks, she doesn't understand any tactics such as feints or switching between real and feints.

Fortunately, Kiyama Harumi was even more of a noob, with combat experience practically zero. He was easily approached by Misaka Mikoto, who controlled him from behind and then electrocuted him until he was unconscious.

Close-quarters grappling combined with electric shocks is Misaka Mikoto's signature move, a technique she has honed to perfection through repeated practice on Level 4 esper Shirai Kuroko.

With this special move, Mikoto easily defeated Kiyama Harumi.

However, during the close-range electric shock, Misaka Mikoto suddenly accessed unfamiliar memories.

That was the result of her training in electromagnetic waves. After the electric shock changed Kiyama Haruo's brainwave frequency, the two unintentionally formed a brainwave connection and unexpectedly shared each other's memories.

Misaka Mikoto sees the tragic state of the children in Kiyama Harumi's memories and also feels Kiyama Harumi's pain and struggle.

Princess Electricity lost all excitement at defeating her enemies and fell into complete silence.
