The Legend of Level 0 in Academy City

Seriously, there's a limit to how much you can show off your love!

"Humph!"

Inoue Hideka, who had unintentionally been fed dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection), let out a heavy snort, exuding the resentment of a single dog.

"Well……"

Misaka Mikoto, who had been secretly watching the movements on her right, naturally noticed the change in Inoue Hideka's aura.

He paused in his eating of vegetables, then muttered a confused murmur.

Could they have discovered it?

Have you discovered it?

What to do, what to do?

How embarrassing!

Why can't I control myself?

That guy isn't even handsome!

no no!

Hey! Misaka Mikoto, you're a Railgun!

Even if he were to peek, it would be an honor for him, so how could he be so timid and hesitant!

"Big sister?"

"Big sister?"

"Big sister, what's wrong?"

Noticing that Misaka Mikoto had suddenly stopped eating, Shirai Kuroko cast a curious glance at her, wondering if something was wrong.

However, despite being called several times, Misaka Mikoto did not respond at all; her face simply grew redder and redder.

She couldn't help but push Misaka Mikoto with her hand.

"Ah! W-what's wrong?"

"I was just about to ask, what's wrong, sister? Why did you suddenly stop eating, and why is your face getting redder and redder?"

"N-nothing! Absolutely, absolutely nothing!"

She waved her arms frantically, trying to explain in broken English, while secretly glancing at Inoue Hideka who seemed completely unaffected.

Damn it! He just ate meat like nothing was wrong!

The meat is definitely better than me... Hmph!

Thinking of something that annoyed her, Misaka Mikoto fiercely picked up the vegetables in her bowl, glared at Inoue Hideka, and chewed the vegetables in her mouth vigorously.

Inoue Hideka really likes Misaka Mikoto, and he knows that better than anyone else.

However, since Misaka Mikoto has already fallen for Kamijou Touma, Inoue Eika would never become a mistress.

However, the feelings have already been established, and it's impossible for them to disappear immediately.

Feeling uncomfortable from being subjected to public displays of affection, Inoue Hideka made a decisive decision to ignore the actions of the two people around her, as if they didn't exist.

He focused intently on finishing the food in the pot, channeling his grief and anger into his appetite, and kept eating.

It was already past six o'clock in the evening when we finished eating.

In order to make it to Tokiwadai's curfew, Shirai Kuroko and Misaka Mikoto teleported towards the Tokiwadai dormitory.

Uiharu Kazarin said she wanted to sleep with Saten Ruiko that night, so he decided to let her stay overnight.

With nothing else to do, Inoue Hideka converted the scores he had composed that afternoon into digital versions, added notes, and sent them to editor Sawada.

After that, he lay quietly on the bed, sorting out the jumbled thoughts in his mind while waiting for Saten and the others to fall asleep, and then began his actions for the night.

Chapter 192 First Murder

"Ugh... Ugh!!"

Accompanied by shrill and nauseating vomiting sounds, and emitting a foul odor, food residue soaked in stomach acid spilled onto the clean floor tiles.

Inside a two-story villa on the edge of the border between the First and Seventh School Districts of Academy City.

This is the residence of the council members, Hong Cheng Li.

The luxuriously decorated two-story villa, with its high-end furniture and lavish interior, transforms the seemingly unremarkable building into a magnificent and opulent space.

In the darkness, in stark contrast to this elegant setting, were several people in a room on the second floor.

The boy, dressed in black with black hair, wore white gloves that stood out conspicuously in the darkness.

At this moment, he was bent over, leaning against the wall, desperately spitting out his sour dinner from his mouth in a very disheveled state.

In the corner of the room, beneath a steel safe half the height of a person, lay a mangled, bloodied figure.

If you look closely, you can see that he is a slightly chubby man, and on his naked body, one leg looks like it has been run over by a wheel and is shaped like a meat patty.

On the exquisite double bed lay a similarly naked and alluring woman.

Her loose hair couldn't hide the pupils in her eyes, which were dilated with fear, and red liquid clung to her fair and alluring round breasts.

On the left side of her chest, where her heart was, a bewitching flower of blood bloomed.

The scattered blood adorned the woman's fair body, making her even more alluring, her seductive beauty tinged with a touch of perverse and tragic charm.

Besides the scattered bloodstains, there was also some murky, unidentified white liquid on the woman's lower body.

It is obvious that both of them are dead.

Their naked bodies also revealed that they had engaged in pleasurable intercourse before their deaths.

So, in that case, it could be considered a quick and easy death?

In the very center of the room stood a scarred man, seemingly somewhat helpless, with his hand on his forehead.

"Ugh~~"

The pungent smell of blood irritated the boy's churning stomach, causing him to vomit again.

"I never expected... that the head of the dignified Dark Guard has never killed anyone?"

Seeing the boy keep vomiting, the scarred man finally couldn't hold back anymore. He looked at the boy with disdain and said something dismissively.

Wow!

The head of the secret service, that's right, the boy is none other than Inoue Hideka.

After using magnetic gloves to climb out of his own window, he went directly to the 'Group' headquarters and made a plan with 'New Moon' and the others to attack Hong Chengli.

With Okita Mai, who is skilled in using various firearms and bombs, as the main force, and using the liquefied mist gun that can interfere with abilities, and Ueno Rei, who has the ability to manipulate wind, as the assistant, they will achieve a feint attack.

Sniper Kiyoya Kawahara kept a close watch on the situation from a distant high-rise building, ready to provide remote support should any unexpected events occur.

Meanwhile, after Okita Mai had drawn most of the force away from the villa, Inoue Hideka and Captain Himuro Rinbu swiftly stormed into Hiroshige's bedroom.

With Himuro Rinbe, a Level 4 Ability User, as the vanguard, and with the assistance of the Magnetic Gloves, Inoue Hideka easily killed Hiroshige Rei, who remained calm and unconcerned about having sex with a woman even as the outside world was engulfed in flames and chaos.

However, after personally killing Hiroshige Rei, Inoue Eika became what she is now.

Although it is unclear whether she had killed anyone before losing her memory, this is indeed the first time Inoue Hideka has killed anyone.

The disgusting scene and the nauseating smell of blood stimulated Inoue Hideka, and she only stopped vomiting after she had vomited up all the hot pot ingredients she had eaten that night, leaving only the broth.

"Hmm... Himuro, I'll be going now. The rest is up to you."

Stepping out of the pungent-smelling room, Inoue Hideka breathed in the fresh air and finally felt better.

I hailed a taxi that was still operating late at night and headed home.

--------

Silent all night.

The next morning, around seven o'clock.

Saten Ruiko continued to leave early and return late, disappearing after preparing breakfast.

While Inoue Eika and the other four, including Uiharu Kazari who had stayed overnight the previous night, were having dinner, an uninvited guest arrived at their home.

After expressing his admiration for Inoue Hideka with great excitement and praising the piece Inoue Hideka composed the day before, Inoue Hideka finally realized that the person in front of him was Editor Sawada.

"Last night, we had an emergency meeting with the animation production company and decided to use Inoue-sensei's scores. This is the copyright fee the animation company gave you; they want to buy the copyrights to these pieces by Inoue-sensei. What do you think?"

As he spoke, Editor Sawada handed a bank card to Inoue Hideka.

Looking at the bank card in front of him, Inoue Hideka hesitated.

Copyright is not something to be taken lightly.

Once the copyright is sold, the piece of music will no longer belong to the owner, but to the animation production company.

They can use it however they want, wherever they want, and even change their names—it's no longer their concern.

But thinking about it carefully, this music never really belonged to me.

If the music were handed over to an animation production company, they could probably use it even better, including for promotional purposes.

It would allow more people to hear my compositions, and I'm sure the original composer would be happy too.

Moreover, Inoue Eika is indeed short of money right now, so why not take it?

"Of course, we all know the importance of copyright, so the price offered by the production company is sincere. As the editor, I can vouch for Inoue-sensei in this regard; there is absolutely no commercial deception involved. However, if Inoue-sensei is unwilling, I can also refuse the production company on your behalf."

Seeing that Inoue Hideka hesitated, Editor Sawada spoke again.

"Okay, I agree."

Taking the bank card from editor Sawada, Inoue Hideka said quite decisively.

After that, Inoue Hideka signed each of the documents that Editor Sawada took out of his bag, and the matter was finally brought to a close.

Inoue Hidekazu didn't do much research on copyright, fees, or the like.

So he didn't know how much those songs were actually worth.

Fortunately, he wasn't too concerned about money; these external things were enough for him.
