The Legend of Level 0 in Academy City

Instead of dodging, Inoue Hideka even reached out and activated the magnetic glove against the ground behind the girl.

The underground is filled with steel bars, which is incredibly convenient for Inoue Hideka, who has magnetic gloves.

Now that the girl was unarmed, Inoue Hideka was no longer afraid to get close to her.

Driven by magnetic force, Inoue Hideka's body lunged towards the girl.

Although the girl was moving very fast, she was still in the motion of kicking.

Before he could dodge, Inoue Hideka pinned him down.

"Speak! Why did you want to kill me!"

The situation took a sharp turn for the worse.

Inoue Hideka pressed down on the girl's shapely body, holding down her struggling arms with both hands, and shouted sternly.

"Why? You killed my brother, so of course I have to avenge him! It's hateful that those hypocritical magicians cower like turtles at the mere mention of Michael's name! Humph!"

Even with the girl pinned down, the murderous aura emanating from her body remained undiminished. Her eyes flashed with boundless hatred as she spoke viciously in broken Japanese.

"Your brother? Who is your brother?"

"Ha! Even if you want to insult your defeated opponent, you don't have to pretend you don't know him, do you? You're the magician you killed in the Academy City! Bastard! Prepare to die!"

Inoue Hideka didn't notice that the girl she was talking to was currently rubbing her right foot against her left knee.

"Academic City?"

Inoue Hideka muttered a puzzled sound, then clasped his hands together, intending to knock the girl unconscious with a chop to the neck.

The girl suddenly laughed.

Haha~ Haha!

"why are you laughing?"

"Haha! I'm laughing..."

As she spoke, a fierce glint suddenly flashed in the girl's eyes.

"It's your death day!"

"puff!"

The pain returned from the edge of my ribs in my back!

Inoue Hideka turned around in surprise and saw a dagger with traces of blood on it pressed against the girl's left knee.

What a despicable bastard!

As Inoue Hideka cursed inwardly, the girl suddenly and nimbly twisted her wrist, breaking free from Inoue Hideka's grasp.

He quickly reached into his robes, pulled out a dagger, and stabbed it straight into Inoue Hideka's chest.

Startled, Inoue Hideka quickly leaned back and did the same as the girl, reaching into her bosom.

But what he pulled out was a pistol.

This was Inoue Hidekazu's trump card, which he hadn't used before, keeping it in reserve for unforeseen circumstances.

Moreover, Inoue Hideka didn't have the confidence to aim at the fast-moving girl.

With his head tilted upwards, Inoue Hideka couldn't see the girl's location, so he groped his way and fired a shot randomly.

boom!

With the sound of a gunshot, the girl beneath him trembled violently.

Inoue Hideka steadied herself and looked down.

Blood was gushing from the girl's chest.

"Hehe~~ Brother... wait for me... I'm coming..."

The girl lying on the ground suddenly lost the hatred in her eyes.

As if relieved, she put on an expression of longing and love, murmuring softly.

"Tsk!"

Inoue Hideka stood up irritably and clicked his tongue in annoyance.

This is utterly baffling!

Having finally managed to escape Academy City, they've encountered enemies again.

And it seems he's also a hardcore brother complex!

Magician?

Based on what this girl said, I went to the academy city and killed a magician.

What is going on?

Why did you provoke a magician?

Confused, Inoue Hideka looked down at the girl's corpse, which had now calmed down.

The woman is dead. What should we do with her body?

Let's just leave it to Academy City after all.

Clutching her abdominal wound, Inoue Eika walked unsteadily toward the entrance to Academy City.

After showing her student ID at the entrance, the security guard readily let her through without asking any questions about Inoue Hideka's injuries.

After casually mentioning the corpse 300 meters away to the gatekeeper, Inoue Eika turned and walked to the roadside in Academy City.

Under the driver's strange gaze, I hailed a taxi and headed home.

The wound needs to be bandaged, so I'll have to wait and ask Misaki Shokuhou about magic again.

After getting off at Pingtai Apartment, Inoue Eika did not intend to go to the hospital.

He had previously discovered that there were medicines and gauze for treating external injuries at home.

If he could, he really didn't want to keep going to hospitals, which he considered unlucky places.

However, as soon as he got out of the car, he saw Misaka Mikoto loitering at the entrance of the apartment building.

He looked hesitant, with a conflicted expression in his eyes.

Misaka Mikoto has been lingering here for a while now.

She's torn about whether or not to go to Inoue Hideka's house.

Finally, my junior classmate got a job as a disciplinary committee member today, so I won't bother her anymore.

Thinking this way, I found myself back at the place where that idiot was once again.

Should we go in?

Will that idiot find me annoying again?

Damn it! How did I even get here?!

Why did you come?

While pondering these kinds of questions, Misaka Mikoto suddenly saw Inoue Hideka getting out of a taxi. In a panic, she hurriedly explained:

"You...you mustn't overthink it! I...I am...wait? You're injured?"

Upon noticing the blood on Inoue Eika's body, Misaka Mikoto asked with concern, her eyes suddenly filled with reproach and worry.

"Why are you always getting injured? If you're not strong enough, can't you just behave yourself? And why don't you go to the hospital when you're injured? What are you doing at home?!"

"Forehead……"

Faced with Misaka Mikoto's barrage of complaints, Inoue Hideka was momentarily at a loss for words.

It's not like I went looking for trouble and got hurt, so how can you blame me?

"What?! Come with me to the hospital!"

Misaka Mikoto walked straight up, grabbed Inoue Eika's hand, led her to the side of the road, hailed a taxi, and headed to the hospital she knew.

Complaining inwardly about getting off the bus and then back on, while listening to Misaka Mikoto's rambling, Inoue Hideka and Misaka Mikoto rushed to the hospital.

The seventh school district, a university-affiliated hospital.

Inoue Hideka was forcefully pinned to the hospital bed by Misaka Mikoto.

"Anyway, you stay here and get treatment. I'll tell Saten. Now, I'm going to buy dinner. Listen carefully, don't you dare run away!"

After angrily finishing her statement, Misaka Mikoto walked straight out of the hospital.

He obediently let the nurse bandage him up and put him on an IV drip. Inoue Hideaki asked with some confusion:

Do you need an IV drip for external injuries?

"It contains special recovery agents, as well as anesthetic and sleep-aiding ingredients, which can reduce the patient's pain and speed up recovery."

"Oh!"

After the nurse finished her work, she went straight out. When the door opened again, the Netherworld Soul Chaser walked in.

"Young man! You've really had a rough life! I suggested you open a membership at my hospital before, what do you think about it?"

On the serious face of the frog-like creature, Mingtu Zhuihun, there seemed to be a hint of teasing.

"No... I'm not interested. By the way, Doctor, are you just joking with me?"

"Of course not. Actually, there's something important that I didn't have time to tell you when you were discharged from the hospital in such a hurry last time. I know you're a very opinionated person, and I didn't tell your girlfriends before you gave me your permission."

"Where would I get a girlfriend? Doctor, please don't talk nonsense! But... what's wrong? Could it be that I have a terminal illness?"

Chapter 197 A Young Girl's Emotions

"It's not that serious, but for you, it might be more serious than that."

As Mingtu Zhuihun spoke earnestly, Inoue Hideka became even more worried upon hearing this.

Something even more serious than a terminal illness? What could it be?
