The Legend of Level 0 in Academy City

Accelerator roared furiously, his face contorted with rage.

"Uh...?? This is bad!!"

Inoue Hideka stood at the edge of the venue, watching the two people in front of her take their oaths.

The reason why is that he came here specifically to prevent the current situation from happening.

In the original work, the board-shaving general forgot his lines and ended up improvising. Overconfident, he even unleashed his power, sending everyone around him flying, causing the opening ceremony to fail.

Accelerator also has a fiery temper, and who knows what he might do.

As expected, some unpleasant things happened!

"Hmph! A man who looks spineless is obviously a sissy!"

"You bastard! I'm going to teach you a lesson today!"

Accelerator roared angrily, slamming his hand on the microphone in front of him. The microphone then flew rapidly toward the Slicer King.

Whoosh!

Just as Accelerator was about to retaliate, he discovered that the microphone rushing towards him had suddenly disappeared. Immediately afterward, a familiar figure appeared on the platform where Accelerator was, and he grabbed the microphone that had just disappeared.

"Ah! Yifang, calm down! Don't get so angry! Well then, teacher, shall we end the opening ceremony here?"

Inoue Hideka was speechless at the obsequious expressions of the principals facing forward.

"Hey...you get out of my way!"

Accelerator remained undeterred, still determined to teach the tyrant, Xiaobanjunba, a lesson.

"Well, well~ The Last Order is watching from downstairs, you don't want her to see you in a bad mood, do you? Besides, she'll be worried!"

Leaning close to Accelerator, Inoue Hideka whispered something in his ear, while glancing at Last Order at the edge of the venue, gesturing to Accelerator.

Following Inoue Hidekazu's gaze, Accelerator indeed saw Last Order looking in their direction and immediately fell silent.

"Humph!"

He snorted coldly and walked off the stage.

Xiao Ban Junba watched Accelerator leave with his arms crossed, a hint of resentment on his face.

I thought we could have a proper fight, but it ended just like that.

"Alright, Xiaoban, if you really start fighting, it'll cause trouble for me, the one who invited you. Let's call it a day, okay?"

"Well... since Inoue has said so, then let's call it a day. My mission is over, so I'll be going now."

After the shokuban-gunba and Accelerator left, Inoue Hideka also stepped down from the stage.

The person in charge of the opening ceremony stepped forward to announce its end, but the students in the audience did not leave immediately, and the debate suddenly caused an uproar in the venue.

"Who is that person?! They seem really powerful, actually managing to stop two superpowered individuals from fighting!"

"Yeah! Yeah! Did you see that? He took the hit from Accelerator's attack! And what's more! I didn't even see how he got onto the platform! Did you see that?"

"I don't have one either! Could it be a spatial ability user?"

"Looking at that, he's at least a level 4 power user! I'm so envious of these high-level power users!"

But under the tent set up by the operations committee, there were completely different exclamations of amazement.

"I can't believe that guy actually did it! He invited a superpowered person to be the contestant representative!"

"Hmm! It seems that their relationship with the first and seventh people is also quite special!"

"Yes! Not only Railgun and Mind Control, but even the first and seventh are like that. Is this person really a Level 0?"

"Who knows! Judging from the abilities he just displayed, he's at least at the level of a powerful being. Maybe he was just pretending to be weak to take advantage of others?"

"No! I checked his information. He is indeed a person without superpowers, and he is indeed an ordinary student at Zhachuan Middle School!"

A strangely calm voice suddenly rang out from inside the tent, but it was precisely this calmness that shocked the group, who all cried out in disbelief:

"what!"

"He really is a powerless person!"

"This guy seems like he's not simple!"

"Hmph! Those guys who mocked him before have gotten a taste of their own medicine this time!"

"Oh no! I laughed at him before! What should I do? What should I do? Will he come after me?!"

Chapter 229 The Grand Star Festival in Full Swing (1)

"What! You want to see me?!"

Inoue Hideka, who was walking on the street, suddenly yelled into her phone.

"Yes, that's right! They already admired you for creating such an excellent manga. After the anime adaptation, they saw that the composer of those songs was also Mr. Kochaya. Finally, they couldn't contain their admiration and flocked to Academy City during the Daihasei Festival. They're currently blocking the company entrance, excitedly demanding to meet Mr. Kochaya! Do you think... you could spare some time to meet your fans?"

The voice coming through the microphone was that of editor Sawada making an earnest request.

"Ah... even though you say that..."

Inoue Hideka stood there somewhat awkwardly. He really didn't want to see those enthusiastic fans. He genuinely didn't know how to deal with their crazy fanaticism, although he knew it was wrong for his fans to think that way about him...

"But my schedule is packed during the Great Star Festival, so maybe... um!"

boom!

"what!"

Inoue Hideka, who was standing still, felt someone bump into her from behind.

The streets are packed with people, and there are some traffic jams on the highways. It's really in the way of me to stand still on the street.

Thinking of this, Inoue Hideka turned around apologetically and looked at the pedestrian who had bumped into her but seemed to have fallen due to the rebound force.

"Sorry... Huh?"

Isn't that big sister with tea-colored hair sitting on the ground... Misaka Mirei, Mikoto's mother?

"Ah! Um, Editor Sawada, I have something to do here, so I'll have to hang up now. I'll leave the fans in your care!"

pat!

After hanging up the phone, Inoue Eika walked somewhat flusteredly to Misaka Mirei's side, wanting to help her up.

"Huh? Your armband... you must be an operations committee member, right? Can I ask you for directions to Tokiwadai Middle School?"

Misaka Mirei, who was sitting on the ground, did not get up immediately. Instead, she looked at the armband with the words "Operations Committee Member" that Inoue Eika was wearing on her clothes and said with some surprise.

"Oh! Sure, but before that, let me help you up. I'm so sorry, if I hadn't suddenly stopped on the side of the road..."

As Inoue Eika spoke apologetically, she placed her hand on Misaka Mirei's arm.

"No! Actually, I was looking for my daughter and was getting anxious, which is why I bumped into you..."

"Hey! You rascal! What are you doing to someone else's mother?!"

Just as Inoue Eika was helping Misaka Mirei to her feet and before she could let go, she suddenly heard an angry shout, and she froze on the spot.

Oh no! I was trying to pretend I didn't know anything and get away with it.

Now that Misaka is here, how can I keep up the act?!

It's over! It's over!

Are we meeting the parents now?

Although Inoue Hideka had shamelessly mentioned to Saten Ruiko that he wanted to meet her parents at the Daihasei Festival, it was just a joke. Anyone would be nervous when they actually meet the parents of the girl they like, right?

"You bastard! Let go of her! How long are you going to hold onto that woman's hand?!"

Misaka Mikoto ran over from a distance and saw Inoue Eika standing there in a daze, angrily reminding her.

"Uh! Sorry!"

Coming to her senses, Inoue Hideka quickly released Misaka Mirei's hand and retreated far away, seemingly to avoid suspicion.

"Oh dear~~ Do you know this operations committee member boy, Mikoto? He just helped me up, don't blame him~~"

"Huh? We can't really say we know each other... it's just... well, how should I put it?"

When Misaka Mikoto heard Misaka Mirei ask her if she knew Inoue Eika, she suddenly became flustered, her face turning red as she nervously wondered how to introduce Inoue Eika to her mother.

Hey! Say something too!

Suddenly she caught sight of Inoue Hideka, who had retreated quite a distance, and glared at him reproachfully, but her tone sounded like she was asking for help.

"Eek!"

Upon hearing this, Inoue Hideka's already anxious heart became even more tense.

What can I say?

You're saying I'm your boyfriend? But we're not even officially dating!

Or, in a bizarre twist, am I the protagonist of a love triangle?

Ugh! Don't put such a difficult problem in my hands!

"Oh? Mikoto, you...you're not dating behind your mother's back, are you?"

Misaka Mirei's eyes swept back and forth across Inoue Eika and Misaka Mikoto's tense faces with great interest, and she asked suspiciously.

"Ah!! How...how...how could this be! Don't talk nonsense!"

Misaka Mikoto, already tense, was even more startled by Misaka Mirei's ambiguous words, jumping up and waving her hands in rebuttal.

Is that really the case?

Seeing her daughter blushing shyly, Misaka Mirei seemed very happy and continued to tease Misaka Mikoto.

"Um... I have to start my match soon, so I'll be going now! You guys continue chatting!"

Seeing Misaka Mikoto's angry and resentful gaze once again, Inoue Hideka decisively decided to use the best of the thirty-six stratagems, hurriedly said something, and then sped away.

"Hey~~ you bastard!"

Seeing Inoue Eika flee in panic, Misaka Mikoto instinctively reached out to call him back, but Inoue Eika disappeared into the bustling crowd in the blink of an eye, and Misaka Mikoto cursed in frustration.

"Ara ara~~ 'Mikoto'...what an affectionate nickname~~ It seems that boy and Mikoto have a special relationship~~"
