The Legend of Level 0 in Academy City

"Yinghua, isn't the scenery outside beautiful?"

Saten Ruiko chuckled and teased Inoue Eika.

"Hey...it's a corridor outside, there's no wind there..."

shoot!

I felt a sudden pat on the back, followed by Fujiwara Masaga's lazy voice coming from behind me.

"Hey! Inoue, let's team up for PE this afternoon! The Daihasei Festival is about to start, and I'd like to sign up for the three-legged race. How about we go together?"

"Hmm... Fujiwara, I'm not opposed to teaming up with you, but I have to attend an operations committee meeting this afternoon, and I don't know when it will end."

Thinking of this, Inoue Hideka immediately deflated and said listlessly.

"Huh? Is Yinghua an operations committee member?"

"Oh yeah! Inoue skipped class yesterday morning. It seems like this is Shinjuku-sensei's punishment for Inoue! But Shinjuku-sensei must be quite helpless, right? She's called on the class several times before, but no matter how much pressure she puts on them, no one will volunteer!"

Seeing Inoue Hideka's distraught state, Shiori Haru chuckled softly as she explained to Saten Ruiko.

"Skipping class? Oh, I see... Yinghua, what did you do there?"

Saten Ruiko, who had initially looked somewhat puzzled, was suddenly enveloped in black mist and stared menacingly at Inoue Hideka.

When I parted ways with Inoue Eika yesterday, he told me that he was going to school.

However, he skipped class, and then he realized that he had found out about his situation that night...

So, I was being followed, wasn't I?

"Huh? No, nothing! Really nothing! Chuchun! You...you're so naturally cunning! Ah...what a misfortune!"

Enduring the unusual caresses from Ruiko Saten around her waist, Eika Inoue couldn't help but utter Touma Kamijou's classic catchphrase.

Shiori Haru watched the farce unfold before her, merely smiling with narrowed eyes.

This guy... confirmed! He's definitely a natural blackhead!

"kindness?"

Noticing that Fujiwara Masashi hadn't spoken, Inoue Hideka looked over curiously and discovered...

He was peeking at the short-browed girl with a bun hairstyle, while the short-browed girl was peeking at Saten Ruiko.

From this perspective, these two are really a perfect match!

"Hey! Fujiwara, you don't actually like... Waaah~"

"Inoue! Will you die if you don't talk?!"

Fujiwara Masagat quickly covered Inoue Hideka's mouth and gave her a fierce warning.

"Alright, fine, I won't say anymore! Coward!"

Breaking free from Fujiwara Masagat's grasp, Inoue Hideka said with disdain.

Come to think of it, these two people were together when we were doing our field trip to the wider society.

Could it be that he fell in love with this lesbian girl around that time?

Ringing~~ringing~~

The school bell rang suddenly.

Watching Fujiwara Masagat's retreating figure as he returned to his seat, Inoue Hideka thought with pity:

Good things come to those who wait. I hope your love journey will go far and not end in heartbreak!

Chapter 210 Arrangements Before the Great Star Festival

At noon, Inoue Eika sat on the rooftop with Saten, Haru, Fujiwara, and Shigefuku, and after happily finishing their bento boxes, she went to Tadashiyama University alone.

However, although it was quite enjoyable, Inoue Eika was still a little annoyed by Shigefuku Shoho staring at Saten Ruiko with an even more intense gaze than her own and strongly demanding that Saten Ruiko try her bento.

Furthermore, since it was a task given to her by her homeroom teacher, Inoue Hideka simply left the school without asking for leave.

We arrived at Jishan University just after 1:30 pm.

Inoue Hideka asked the old man at the gatehouse for directions and then entered Tadashiyama University.

The university's management was relatively lax; no pass or registration was required, and Inoue Eika was allowed to pass directly.

At lunchtime, most people are probably taking a nap, right?

There weren't many people on campus, only a handful of couples sitting together by the flowers and under the shade of the trees, sweetly kissing and cuddling.

The social activity room wasn't far from the main gate. Although the university was large, Inoue Eika had already seen the building the gatekeeper had mentioned after walking for ten minutes.

Walking slowly along the bluestone-paved road, with osmanthus trees that are more than ten meters tall on both sides.

It is early autumn, the season when osmanthus flowers are in full bloom.

As the saying goes, "Osmanthus flowers bloom everywhere in August," meaning that osmanthus flowers are in full bloom in August.

However, August here refers to the lunar calendar, which corresponds to September or October in the Gregorian calendar, which is autumn. This is also the origin of the saying "appreciating osmanthus in golden autumn".

As she inhaled the fragrance of the osmanthus blossoms, Inoue Hideka's mood became exceptionally light, and she couldn't help but stop to admire the pale yellow osmanthus flowers blooming on both sides of the road.

"You're also on the operations committee for this Daihasei Festival, right? Time's almost up, let's hurry up and get going!"

A clear, melodious voice suddenly came from behind him. Inoue Hideka turned around in confusion and looked in the direction from which the voice came.

This is a girl who is quite tall for her age, with black hair parted behind her ears and a wide forehead exposed.

However, what stands out most is her prominent breasts.

Forehead?

It's actually a blow-up supply system!

"Hello! My name is Inoue Hideka. Judging from your school uniform, you must be a high school student, right?"

"Oh, so you're a junior from Sakukawa Junior High! I'm Fukiyori Seiri."

Fukiyori glanced at Inoue Hideka's uniform and suddenly realized what was going on.

"I'm friends with Touma Kamijou from your school, but I don't even call him 'senpai' (older brother), so don't expect me to call you 'senpai' (older sister) either! Fuyuki-kun~~"

"Hmph! How rude! As expected, none of that idiot's friends are normal!"

Fukiyori snorted coldly and took the lead towards the activity room.

"Huh? You sound dismissive, but you actually care a lot about that so-called idiot, don't you?"

"Well!"

Suddenly, as if her tail had been stepped on, Fukiyori froze on the spot, blushing and shyly shouting:

"No, no way!"

"Yes, yes! Let's go, we're going to be late!"

With a nonchalant wave of his hand, Inoue Hideka walked straight past Fukiyori Seiri and headed forward.

Social activity room at Izan University.

When Inoue Eika and Fukiyori arrived, the large activity room was already full of people.

It seems the person in charge hasn't arrived yet because it's not time.

This has resulted in the bustling and lively scene inside the event room.

There were at least two or three hundred people, gathered in twos and threes, enthusiastically discussing something.

Taking advantage of her height, Inoue Hideka stood at the door and peered inside, searching for an empty seat.

"Here, blow it!"

There were a few empty seats in the front row on the left, by the window. Inoue Eika called out to Fukiyori and went over.

"Seriously, why do I have to stick with this guy?!"

Fukiyori seemed to still be brooding over what had just happened, her face showing displeasure.

Sitting in his seat, Inoue Hideka took out his phone and checked the time; it was exactly two o'clock.

Just then, three adults who looked like they were in charge walked in.

The three of them, each holding a folder, stood at the front of the activity room with serious expressions.

"Ahem! Alright everyone! Quiet down!"

Clearing his throat, the crew-cut man standing in the middle waited until the room quieted down before continuing.

"I am Jiro Saki, the chairman of the organizing committee for this Daihasei Festival. First, please hand your application forms to my two assistants. Shohei and Nagahashi, thank you for your help!"

There are several hundred people in the activity room; it would take two people a long time to keep up.

The students behind them spontaneously handed their application forms to one person, who would then give them to the two assistants when they arrived.

Meanwhile, Jiro Saki's explanation did not stop.

"So, before assigning tasks, let's first discuss who should take on the most essential, important, and difficult task."

Saki Jiro seemed to sigh before continuing:

"According to orders from above, the participants taking the oath at the opening ceremony of this Daihasei Festival (what do you mean by 'meeting'? How awkward is that?) must be top-tier espers. So, is there anyone willing to volunteer to invite espers to serve as the oath-taking participants?"

Although Jiro Saki looked at the students below with anticipation, the outcome was obvious.

Everyone knows that among the seven superpowered individuals, apart from Railgun's personality being 'relatively' normal, the rest are all monsters!

Who would want to provoke a madman with super strong fighting ability and a super strange personality?

"So, no one is willing after all?"

Seeing that no one responded, Saki Jiro said with some disappointment.

He began to have worries ever since this ingenious plan was approved by the higher-ups.

Seeing that this was indeed the outcome, he became even more distressed.

If no one else is willing to take on this hot potato, then he will have to step in himself.

With a try-it-and-see attitude, Saki Jiro tried adding some chips.
