The Legend of Level 0 in Academy City

"By the way, Ruiko. Do you remember someone in our class named Fujiwara Masagatsu?"

"I remember! He was the only one with superpowers in our class! Why are you suddenly bringing him up?"

"Hmm... I was injured once before, and he used his ability to heal me... I should thank him properly later."

Faced with Saten Ruiko's curiosity, Inoue Eika weakly said.

"Huh? How come I didn't know? Yinghua, what's wrong with you? You've been getting injured one after another lately. Is your constitution such that you easily attract injuries?"

As expected, Saten Ruiko noticed the details in Inoue Eika's words and said with a worried expression.

"Um... Ruizi, that's really hurtful! I don't have such a weird constitution!"

Inoue Hideka avoided the main issue and decisively changed the subject of her injury.

"Shh... Yinghua, don't speak yet..."

Following Saten Ruiko's gaze, Inoue Eika saw Uiharu Kazari walking ahead.

"Early Spring!"

call!

Saten Ruiko did not lift up Uiharu Kazari's skirt; she simply followed closely behind Uiharu Kazari as she walked forward.

Suddenly, a whirlwind rose up in front of Saten Ruiko, lifting up Hatsuharu Shiori's skirt.

"Ah~ Saten-san! Don't lift my skirt!"

Saten Ruiko is now a level 1 low-level ability user, and can control the slightest airflow in the vicinity even without taking action herself.

Lifting the skirt of early spring embellishment couldn't be easier!

"Oh, oh, don't mind it in early spring! It's just a normal greeting!"

"That's such a weird way to greet someone!"

Chu Chunshi covered her skirt with her hands, her face flushed, and said frantically.

"Forehead……"

Inoue Eika followed behind, originally planning to turn around when Saten Ruiko made her move, so as not to delay her pace toward the classroom.

However, Saten Ruiko actually used her ability to play a prank.

Caught off guard, Inoue Hideka saw pink adorned with tiny flowers...

Then, before Haruharu Kazari could turn around, he decisively turned his head away and said casually:

"I didn't see anything in early spring~~ Don't get the wrong idea!"

"Ugh~~ Inoue-kun bullied me too! You two! Humph!"

With her face flushed red, Shiori clenched her fists and spoke angrily. Finally, she snorted coldly, turned around, and walked towards the classroom, ignoring the two of them.

"Oh wow~~ Yinghua, is it pretty? Staring at another girl in front of your girlfriend...you've got some nerve!"

"Hey! Ruiko, be reasonable, how can you use your abilities like that! If you hadn't acted so unpredictably, I wouldn't have been misunderstood by Hatsuharu, okay?"

"Huh? You mean...it's all my fault?"

"Huh? No, no! I absolutely didn't mean that, please, Lady Ruiko, don't turn evil!"

Inoue Hideka was on the verge of tears, and clasped her hands together, pleading with Saten Ruiko.

Chapter 150 Transfer Student

Inoue Eika and Saten Ruiko followed Uiharu Kazari into the classroom of Class 3, Grade 1, amidst their bickering.

As soon as Inoue Hideka entered the classroom, he saw Fujiwara Masaga sitting in the front row.

"Hey! Fujiwara! Thanks for last time! How about I treat you to a big lunch? Whatever you want to eat... um, anything you like!"

Halfway through her sentence, Inoue Hideka remembered the salary card she had forgotten about and had given to Shokuhou Misaki; she now only had less than two thousand yen left.

Offering to treat someone to a lavish meal seems like bragging to Inoue Hidekazu these days.

However, he gritted his teeth and finally said what he was about to say. A man can't back down at a time like this!

At worst, I can borrow some from Leizi. Anyway, judging from the fact that she has so many clothes, she must have quite a bit of savings.

Besides, she's his girlfriend. Borrowing money from his girlfriend shouldn't be considered being a kept man, right?

It's a loan, but I'll pay it back later!

"Oh! I was just thinking of eating at the underground shopping mall today. I think they have some kind of special offer. I won't be polite then!"

"Okay! See you after school at noon."

Seeing that the homeroom teacher, Shinjuku Riekai, had already walked in with a cold face and was carrying a stack of documents, Inoue Eika didn't say anything more and quickly walked to her seat—the last seat in the second row on the right by the window. She stood at attention, afraid of being criticized by the cold and ruthless homeroom teacher.

"Today marks the start of a new semester. First, let's get to know the transfer students who joined us this semester."

Normally, a transfer student should be a topic that sparks discussion among the whole class.

However, under the cold and powerful aura of the homeroom teacher, all the students in the class waited quietly for the arrival of the transfer student.

Inoue Hideka guessed that among everyone in the class, perhaps only his girlfriend, Saten Ruiko, dared to defy the homeroom teacher.

Squeak~~

The classroom door opened, and a petite girl walked in, her hair styled in two buns, with her left bangs completely covering her eyes.

"Forehead!"

"Forehead!"

Saten Ruiko and Inoue Eika both exclaimed in surprise.

Because this girl was none other than Chongfu Shengfan, who should have been attending Guansuo Middle School!

"Please introduce yourself."

"I...I'm called Chongfu Shengfan, and I like...like..."

Shy Shigefuku Shoho, under the oppressive aura of the Shinjuku Caspian Sea, stammered and was unable to utter a word.

"Alright, go sit in that empty seat over there."

Seeing that Shigefuku Shoho had been stammering for a long time without being able to give a coherent answer, Shinjuku Rikami frowned slightly and said something that was like a pardon for Shigefuku Shoho.

"Okay, okay!"

One of the seats to the right of Inoue Hidekazu is now empty for some reason.

Perhaps he dropped out of school, or perhaps he died in an accident during the summer vacation.

Beneath the surface of peace in Academy City lies considerable chaos.

The chairman wouldn't care about the life or death of those useless students. Even if they were dissected and killed by researchers, he wouldn't even blink.

After noticing that Shigefuku Shoho sat down, Inoue Eika kept glancing to her left, and that burning gaze made her feel very pressured.

Emotional crisis!

Will Ruiko be turned gay by this yuri girl?

Inoue Hideka was caught between Saten Ruiko and Shigefuku Shoho, feeling restless.

Especially the burning gaze that Chongfu Shengfan was shooting at him. Although he knew the target wasn't him, the key point was that the target was his girlfriend!

"Alright, next up is the routine class meeting, followed by the opening ceremony. Classmates, everyone, pay attention! If you embarrass me at the opening ceremony... hmph!"

After that, because the homeroom teacher on the podium was constantly radiating a powerful aura of pressure, even though Inoue Eika wanted to drag his girlfriend away from this place of trouble, he couldn't stay there.

She didn't dare do anything 'shameful' as mentioned by Shinjuku Rikai, and thus endured the dual pressure from her homeroom teacher and Shigefuku Shigehan, sitting upright in her seat, suffering and tempering her gradually strengthening heart.

While sitting in the venue for the opening ceremony, I was unexpectedly squeezed into the middle by Chongfu Shengfan.

Watching Saten Ruiko and Shigefuku Shoho exchanging pleasant glances, Inoue Eika felt incredibly uncomfortable!

The opening ceremony finally ended around 10:30 a.m. As soon as the homeroom teacher announced "free time," Inoue Eika quickly grabbed Saten Ruiko and ran away.

"What's wrong, Yinghua? Why did you suddenly pull me out? Chongfu and Chuchun are still over there."

"I'm telling you, Leizi, don't tell me you didn't notice Chongfu Shengfan's little scheme!"

"Huh? What strange thing is Yinghua saying! Chongfu is a girl! At least she's not like some people who have girlfriends but still go after their seniors!"

"Huh? Ah..."

Inoue Hideka sighed in disappointment.

It turns out it was intentional!

"Okay, I know I was wrong. But I have to go to dinner with Fujiwara, so Ruiko can go shopping with Hatsuharu and Shigefuku. Oh, Ruiko, lend me some money."

There will be a battle in the underground city today, so we'll take this opportunity to prevent Saten Ruiko and the others from getting there.

Fujiwara Masayuki's ability is perfect for providing rear support; it can also be useful if there are any wounded in the underground city.

Inoue Eika wanted to go there purely out of fear of other unexpected events.

Shirai Kuroko was captured by Sherry's stone giant. Although Misaka Mikoto arrived in time to rescue her, Inoue Eika was still a little worried.

"Borrow money? Does Yinghua have no money?"

"Hmm... I'm a little short on cash lately, so I'll need Ruizi's help for a while."

"Hmm...I see!"

Saten Ruiko took a wad of cash from her wallet and handed it to Inoue Eika, then turned around, waved to Inoue Eika, and walked away into the distance.

"Then I'm going to find Haru and the others. Eika, you must treat Fujiwara-san well!"

Back at the venue, they found Fujiwara Masaga who hadn't left yet. Inoue Hideka then dragged Fujiwara Masaga to the restroom and begged him to heal his hands.

According to Inoue Hideka, since we're going to eat soon anyway, we can't waste resources!

----------

Underground street.

According to Fujiwara Masagat's introduction, the two went to a Korean hot pot restaurant.

We ordered the cheese rice cake hot pot for four people.

Inoue Hideka himself is the type who can eat a lot, and Fujiwara Masakazu can eat even more than Inoue Hideka when he is over-energy-consuming.
