The Legend of Level 0 in Academy City

only……

What is "Talent Center" in the "Organization Affiliation" section?

Misaki Shokuhou actually poached her beforehand?

Originally, Inoue Hideka was thinking of inviting these two people into the organization, so that they could have a familiar professional to help them if needed.

Frustrated, Inoue Hideka shut down her computer, got up, took her teacup, walked to the water dispenser, poured herself a cup of coffee, and leisurely sipped it.

Oh right, isn't there also Yoshikawa Kikyo?

As Inoue Hideka pulled out the business card that Yoshikawa Kikyo had given her from her wallet, she was about to make a phone call when she suddenly realized that Yoshikawa Kikyo's dream was to become a teacher.

In the original work, she did indeed later become a teacher.

Thinking this, Inoue Hideka put her phone down again.

Forget it, let her live in the real world. She's finally escaped the inner world, it would be a bit heartless to drag her back in.

Picking up the documents on the table, Inoue Hideka glanced through them.

There were so many documents that even without careful reading, Inoue Hideka hadn't finished reading them by late afternoon.

Realizing it was getting late, Inoue Hideka got up and walked outside.

After being greeted with respectful greetings like "Greetings, Minister Inoue," Inoue Hideka finally boarded the elevator.

The Moqing Building wasn't far from the Cairen Factory, only a few kilometers away, so Inoue Eika simply chose to walk.

As Inoue Hideka walked through the narrow alleyways that seemed to shorten the distance, he suddenly saw that his path was blocked at the end of the alley by several tall, burly men.

bad?

Are they trying to rob me?

Thinking this, Inoue Hideka said jokingly:

"Oh ho~~ I didn't bother you, but you came looking for me on your own initiative~~ Perfect, let's test the results of my recent training..."

Tap tap, tap tap, tap tap!

Before Inoue Eika could finish speaking, a series of hurried and disordered footsteps suddenly sounded behind her.

Turning his head in confusion, Inoue Hidekazu felt as if he had been slapped in the face by what he saw.

Suddenly, hundreds of people surged up from behind, almost all of them tall, burly men, filling the entire alleyway with their dark mass.

Sweat beaded on his forehead as Inoue Hideka turned around, only to find that the area in front of him was almost completely filled with people.

With so many people around, Inoue Hideka had no choice but to run away.

The words he had just spoken were slapped hard in his own face.

"Finally caught you... Public enemy number one!"

The flat voice came from a boy standing at the front of the crowd, who was as tall as a gorilla and covered in muscles. His muscles were so prominent and bulging that they looked as if they could burst through his cheap jacket with the slightest effort.

It was Toshitoku Komaba!

After seeing the person in front of him clearly, Inoue Hideka felt quite uneasy.

Although Komaba Toshitoku is a Level 0 esper, he is someone who was able to defeat Kihara Ayaki!

With its legs reinforced by "wind-up bandages," it can reach speeds exceeding those of a train, so fast that even the designated coordinates are not given enough time.

Inoue Hideka had absolutely no confidence in facing him.

Even if the red cross can block the rampaging lightning, it's all in vain if there's no time to react.

"Um... I say, classmate! We don't seem to have any grudges, right? Is it really necessary to make such a fuss?"

"Public Enemy Number One, has attacked those without abilities multiple times in the past six months. Although the targets are mostly thugs, the fact remains that they have attacked those without abilities. Today, I will make sure you lose your fighting ability."

"Hey?"

Inoue Eika wanted to run away as soon as she couldn't win, just like before, but the deep alley was blocked from both the front and the back, making it impossible to escape.

Skillout, a group lacking the ability to arm themselves.

Because powerful ability users were competing with each other, they started playing a game of attacking ability users other than the 'Skillouts'. The Skillouts, led by Komaba Toshitoku, devised the following plan:

They temporarily paralyze the city's communication systems, creating a situation where alarm officers or disciplinary committee members cannot be contacted. Then, they form a group to attack the vicious ability users on the list, rendering them unable to fight.

Although he knew about this, Inoue Hideka considered himself to be a powerless person, so even though he had the title of "public enemy number one of the delinquents," he didn't take it seriously and continued to do as he pleased.

But what he couldn't understand was why Skillout would target someone like him who had no abilities.

And most importantly, he hasn't caused any trouble for over a month!

Is this a case of reaping what you sow, and then you can't escape it?

Of course, while she might not understand it, Inoue Hideka doesn't have much time to think about such trivial matters right now.

How am I going to deal with the large number of armed but incompetent groups in front of me, as well as the most threatening Skillout leader, Toshitoku Komaba?

Do we really have to get beaten up and rendered unable to fight?

Chapter 154 Tokiwadai Dormitory Room 208

"Well... how about we make a deal? I don't have the time or interest to harass delinquents anymore, so how about we call it even?"

Inoue Hideka looked at Komaba Toshitoku with utmost sincerity, his tone as kind as could be.

"Don't treat me like a fool. There are plenty of people who say one thing to my face and do another behind my back."

"Ha~~"

Seeing Komaba Toshitoku's cold expression, it was clear that he had no intention of considering his suggestion, and Inoue Hideka sighed helplessly.

"Since that's the case, then there's no other way. Bring it on, let me see what the leader of Skill Out is capable of!"

There's no point in saying more; Inoue Hideka would never do something as shameful as kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy.

He was afraid of death, but not to the point of losing his self-respect.

Besides, at most they'd just be knocked down and lose their fighting ability; they wouldn't actually die.

"To still say something like that at a time like this, you're not exactly a man. As a sign of respect, I've decided to do everything in my power to defeat you!"

"Come on! I'll fight you with all my might!"

Inoue Hideka let out a loud shout to encourage himself.

It was a real hand-to-hand combat!

Even though he knew that Komaba Toshitoku was stronger than him, Inoue Hideka just couldn't suppress the fighting spirit burning in his chest.

A real man fights with his bare hands; superpowers and magic can go to hell!

Even if someone is very handsome or very powerful, without a passionate battle, it's not exciting at all!

Clenching his fists tightly, Inoue Hideka adjusted his stance, awaiting Komaba Toshitoku's attack.

coming!

Noticing the subtle changes in Komaba Toshitoku's leg muscles, Inoue Hideka thought to himself, his focus sharpening like never before.

Swish!

suddenly!

Suddenly, a slender figure appeared before me.

"Finally found you! Come with me! Also, all of you who are causing trouble, you'd better disperse before Kuroko finishes dealing with Onee-sama's matter, or as the disciplinary committee member, I will definitely arrest you all~~"

Inoue Eika looked at the brown-haired twin-tailed pervert who had appeared there talking to himself. Before she could ask any questions, she felt a weight on her shoulder, and then everything went black.

Inoue Hideka, who experienced two space travels on the same day, was puzzled. What was going on on this day?

Strange things have all happened today.

Swish!Swish!

After several consecutive jumps and as the scene changed repeatedly, Inoue Hideka realized that they were heading towards Tokiwadai.

boom!

It seemed they had arrived at their destination when Shirai Kuroko suddenly threw Inoue Hideka to the ground.

"Pervert! Explain yourself! What did you do to my sister?! Why did she turn into this after you called this afternoon...? Huh? Where's my sister?"

Inoue Hideka sat on the floor, ignoring Shirai Kuroko's questioning, and looked around the room.

Two single beds were placed on either side of the central aisle.

Outside the bed, near the window, are two bookshelves and a desk, with some dressing tools on the desk.

The entire room was filled with a sweet fragrance unique to a girl's room.

Looking at this layout, Inoue Eika's guess on the way here was indeed correct; this is the Tokiwadai dormitory.

The room of Misaka Mikoto and Shirai Kuroko is room 208 of the Tokiwadai dormitory.

For Inoue Hideka, who used to frequently visit Saten Ruiko's dormitory, the girls' dormitory didn't feel mysterious at all.

However, the splashing sound that I could hear coming from the bathroom when I came in has now stopped.

Inoue Hideka sensed that something ominous was about to happen.

"Hey, you're back? Why did you suddenly run out? I'm done washing up, you need to wash up too..."

Misaka Mikoto, dressed in a rather cute green pajama set, walked out of the bathroom while drying her hair with a towel.

"...?"

Stunned, Misaka Mikoto finished speaking the words she hadn't finished before pointing at Inoue Eika and shouting.

"W-wh-what's going on?! Why are you here?! No, wait! Clothes! Turn your head around!"

"what?"

Seeing Misaka Mikoto suddenly panic, Inoue Hideka was puzzled.

Wasn't she wearing pajamas?

It's not like you're naked, there's no need to be so shy, right?
