The Legend of Level 0 in Academy City

"Hmph! You have no human rights! You bastard!"

"Men are just species meant to be sacrificed!" Shirai Kuroko added insult to injury.

"what……!"

Inoue Hideka echoed the mood, letting out a helpless sigh.

"There are 3 minutes left before the three-legged race begins. Contestants, please hurry up and get ready!"

As the atmosphere eased, Misaka Mikoto was about to ask about the vortex that had appeared earlier when she heard a reminder about pre-match preparations coming from the operations committee tent.

"In any case, let's start the competition first."

Inoue Hideka spoke to the group and then walked towards the operations committee's tent.

------

A temporary platform was set up at the edge of the three-legged race track.

This platform is for commentators only. It was specially built to facilitate real-time observation of the game and to provide commentary.

On the high platform, there was a table, and behind the table sat a man and a woman. Since the competition had not yet started, neither of them was wearing a headset connected to the broadcast system.

The girl, dressed in sportswear, had long black hair that went past her shoulders. Her bangs were pulled back by a headband, revealing her smooth forehead. Her G-cup breasts pushed the sportswear up high.

At this moment, the girl was chatting casually with the boy next to her, but her eyes were fixed on Inoue Eika and the others not far from the operations committee's tent.

More accurately, she only glanced at Misaka Mikoto and Shirai Kuroko casually, looked at Inoue Eika briefly, but focused more on Saten Ruiko, who looked like an ordinary person.

------

Two minutes later, Saten Ruiko and Inoue Hideka, Misaka Mikoto and Shirai Kuroko, along with two other pairs of competitors, stood behind the starting line, waiting for the race to begin.

The pre-match commentary came over the loudspeaker; it was a pleasant female voice.

"Now, before the match begins, please allow me to reiterate the rules. First, any team that disbands midway is disqualified. Second, the use of abilities that can directly injure the opponent is prohibited. Also, it's worth mentioning that Misaka's electric shock ability is prohibited in this match, but she may use abilities other than electric shock."

Then it switched to a deep male voice:

"Now, let's get to know some of the players who will shine in this competition. There are four groups of participants. The first group is Horikoshi in the high jump and Narutomo Motoba."

As the commentator introduced the scene, the two boys standing next to Eika Inoue waved to the audience.

"The second group consists of Kikugiri Ginko and Miyano Riru from Bluebell Girls' High School."

On the other side of the field, next to Shirai Kuroko and Misaka Mikoto, were two girls who flashed confident smiles when they were introduced.

"The third group consists of Inoue Hideka and Saten Ruiko from Sakukawa Junior High School. They are the only mixed-gender pair in this competition!"

Inoue Hideka felt that waving to the audience was silly, so he stood still and let Saten Ruiko laugh and wave her arms happily.

"The next two in the fourth group are Misaka Mikoto and Shirai Kuroko from Tokiwadai Middle School! Will the upcoming matches show us how strong Tokiwadai is?"

"By the way, the commentary for the 'three-legged race' in District 7 is our familiar [One Piece Radio DJ] and..."

"I, who was supposed to compete as a contestant, am here to present myself!"

While listening to the commentator's explanation, Inoue Hideka kept trying to find the commentator's location.

However, the sound came from a radio broadcast, so it was impossible to determine the location of the target based on the sound alone.

The only possibility that could be it is the high platform erected at the edge of the arena.

However, due to its geographical location, Inoue Hideka could not see what was happening inside the platform.

Even when the referee shouted "Ready," Inoue Hideka still hadn't found a powerless person who aroused his intense curiosity.

Seeing that the match was about to begin, Inoue Hideka had no choice but to give up.

boom!

As gunshots rang out, four schools...

Or rather, the contest between Inoue Hideka, who uses magnetic gloves, and Saten Ruiko, who uses cavitation, and Misaka Mikoto, who uses Railgun, and Shirai Kuroko, who uses teleportation, has begun!

Chapter 239 The Grand Star Festival in Full Swing (10)

After the referee called out "Ready", Inoue Hideka suddenly placed his hand on Saten Ruiko's waist, while pointing his other hand at the road ahead.

boom!

Before Saten Ruiko could even be surprised by Inoue Hideka's actions, gunshots rang out instantly.

At the same time, Inoue Hideka and Saten Ruiko appeared on the track about fifty meters ahead.

"Oh ho! Such childish movements are nothing compared to my spatial teleportation... Ah! What is this!"

Gunshots rang out, and as Shirai Kuroko confidently declared her victory, a layer of black, gooey substance suddenly stuck to her body.

Similarly, the same thing was stuck to the bodies of Misaka Mikoto and the two high jumpers, Haba.

"Oh! The moment the match started, the bandages on Kikugiri from Bluebell Girls' High School suddenly flew off, hitting both Tokiwadai Middle School and Haba high jumpers. Those black things... oh, it turns out they were asphalt controlled by Miyano! Meanwhile, Inoue and Saten from Sakugawa Middle School, with their superior vision, moved away from their original positions and darted 50 meters away in an instant. Could it be... spatial ability?"

"How disgusting..."

As Shirai Kuroko complained, she swiftly teleported away from the black things on herself and Misaka Mikoto, then said in a low voice:

"So, putting aside the mistake we just made, let Kuroko take Onee-sama... wait? Onee-sama? What's wrong?"

Misaka Mikoto paid no attention to the sticky stuff on her body, her eyes fixed on Inoue Hideka, who had stopped in the distance to check on Saten Ruiko's condition.

"That guy..."

How dare they do that to my face...

A dazzling light flashed between her forehead as the electric sparks crackled.

No, no, that won't do! I need to control myself. I almost dragged Saten into this just now. Control myself, control myself...

"Sister, my dear sister... wait, wait... ah!"

crackling sounds~~

Shirai Kuroko, who was tied to Misaka Mikoto, was caught in the crossfire and was struck at point-blank range by the electric current unconsciously emitted by Misaka Mikoto, who was in some unknown emotional state.

Although the current intensity was not particularly high, it still paralyzed her body.

"Huh? Oh! Sorry! Kuroko..."

When Misaka Mikoto came to her senses, she realized that Shirai Kuroko had been affected by the electric current she had unintentionally emitted, and she quickly apologized.

"Wow! What are these disgusting things?!"

On the other side, the high jumpers on the field exclaimed in surprise and quickly cleaned the dirt off their bodies that was affecting their movements.

"There's no other way! If this continues, we'll definitely fall behind. We have to use our trump card now!"

"Well! In that case..."

Horige looked solemnly at the two groups of contestants in front of him, a ball of flame condensing in his palm before pointing behind him.

Narugo Motoba bent down and lightly touched the ground with his fingers.

With a loud bang, the two suddenly darted away.

"Wow! The high jumper quickly broke free from the bandages and asphalt and started moving! Is that... using his explosive power to propel himself forward at high speed by impacting the air behind him? But can he really move forward smoothly like that?"

"Oh! I see. Narugo's ability... is to change the coefficient of friction of the object he comes into contact with! Wow! That's a pretty good tactic! So, with proper teamwork, can the two of them catch up with Sakukawa Junior High, who are 50 meters ahead, and Blue Bell Girls' High, who are already 30 meters ahead?"

Fifty meters ahead.

After dodging the combined attack of bandages and asphalt from Bluebell Girls' High School using magnetic gloves, Inoue Eika stopped and looked worriedly at Saten Ruiko, who was feeling somewhat uncomfortable due to moving like this for the first time.

"Tears, how are you?"

As he spoke, Inoue Eika released his hand from Saten Ruiko's waist and glanced cautiously at Misaka Mikoto, who was surrounded by electric light behind him.

"It's okay. But shall we still run there the normal way?"

Saten Ruiko glanced worriedly at Misaka Mikoto behind her and offered her suggestion.

"Hmm... Even if you hadn't said it, that's what I was planning to do... Ruiko!"

Just then, Inoue Hideka suddenly shouted.

Because he caught a glimpse of Misaka Mikoto out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that the Bluebell Girls' High School players were throwing the bandages wrapped around their bodies as they rapidly approached, so he shouted to warn Saten Ruiko.

"Oh! Leave it to me!"

Saten Ruiko also saw the bandage flying towards her and smiled confidently.

call……

A not-too-big whirlwind blew past Saten Ruiko, sweeping away the bandages that were drifting behind her.

As the air moved, the bandages were carried further and further away.

"Alright! Let's hurry, or it will be too late if Misaka-senpai and Shirai react in time."

"kindness!"

Inoue Eika agreed, controlled her pace, and kept her left and right legs moving in opposite but consistent steps with Saten Ruiko, and began to move closer to the finish line.

"The Sakukawa Junior High School contestant suddenly stopped, and taking advantage of this opportunity, the Blue Bell Girls' High School contestant is rapidly closing in. Will they overtake them? However, at this moment, the highly anticipated Tokiwadai Junior High School contestant is still standing still. What exactly happened?"

"Oh! Inoue and Saten from Sakukawa Junior High School have started moving again, but the athletes from Lanling Girls' High School haven't caught up yet! However! The high jumper from Haba suddenly burst into speed, overtaking Lanling Girls' High School and almost running alongside the athletes from Sakukawa Junior High School! Who will ultimately claim the championship?"

"Is it Sakukawa Junior High School, which took the lead from the start? Haba High School, which suddenly surged in the high jump? Or Blue Bell Girls' High School, which took the initiative? Or Tokiwadai Junior High School, which has not made any moves so far but has the strongest strength?"

"Hey, are you alright?"

Ignoring Inoue Eika, who had enraged her, Misaka Mikoto supported Shirai Kuroko, who was paralyzed and unable to stand, and asked with concern.

She knew that if Shirai Kuroko wanted to dodge her electric current, it would only take a moment.

But if that happens, the two separated players will be disqualified from the competition.

In order to achieve victory together with Misaka Mikoto, Shirai Kuroko underwent extremely rigorous training.

Although her perverse hobbies hindered the training, it was precisely because of this that the two of them spent more time training than others.

So how could Shirai Kuroko be willing to lose her qualification for the competition?

"N-nothing, this...this is...onee-sama's...love...whipping...Kuroko, Kuroko, I..."

"Alright! Don't say anything yet. Once you've recovered, let's launch a counterattack and reclaim the victory!"

Gently stroking Shirai Kuroko's hair, Misaka Mikoto interrupted the defiant Shirai Kuroko and said encouragingly.
