The Legend of Level 0 in Academy City

Could we perhaps alleviate some of her worries?

I'm sorry, dear sister!

Kuroko, I wasn't there for you when you needed help the most... to be your strength.

With a slight frown, Shirai Kuroko's eyes were filled with sorrow.

Clutching the report tightly in her hand, Shirai Kuroko forced herself to snap out of her grief and sort out the available information:

The experiment should be over.

It may have been suspended, or it may have already been completed.

However, judging from the older sister's condition, the experiment is more likely to be suspended.

Secondly, Accelerator is currently living in that pervert's house, and his sister hasn't shown any excessive hostility towards him, so... did Accelerator voluntarily give up the experiment?

If so, when did you give up? And how many of your sisters died?

With mixed feelings, Shirai Kuroko turned to the next page of the report.

9982rd test

Start time

August 15: 21:00

Absolute coordinates: X-163258 Y-415689

9983rd test

Start time

August 16: 9:20

……

As you continue reading, the rest of the content is mostly similar.

The time and coordinates from the 9982nd experiment to the 20000th experiment are all available.

Shirai Kuroko couldn't help but feel a little scared.

Has the experiment really ended?

Do not!

wrong!

The 20000th test is not yet scheduled.

Moreover, my older sister would never let such a thing go unchecked!

So, what is August 21st, as mentioned in the coordinate movement?

Was the experiment completed on that day?

Or perhaps, something happened that day?

Correct!

Something must have happened; there must be other variables!

correct!

That pervert must have known about this experiment, right?

What role does he play in this?

Skipping over the lengthy experimental information, Shirai Kuroko flipped directly to the last page.

It was a rather stiff piece of paper, folded up.

As she slowly turned the pages, Shirai Kuroko discovered that it was a map.

A very detailed map depicting the entire area of ​​Academy City.

There are many places on the map marked with an "x" shape using a red marker.

As a member of the Disciplinary Committee, Shirai Kuroko is very familiar with the geographical location of Academy City.

You can tell at a glance what these marked areas are.

'Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Research Center, Affiliated Institution of Kanasaki University'

'Mizuho Institute, Institute for Pathological Analysis'

Higuchi Pharmaceutical, Seventh Pharmaceutical Research Institute

and many more.

These are indeed the research institutes where accidents occurred last month.

However, there is no information on how the experiment ended.

Shirai Kuroko frowned, stood still and pondered for a while, then suddenly took out her phone and started dialing.

beep...beep...

The phone rang only twice before it was answered.

"Shirai-san? What's wrong? Has something happened?"

"No, no. Don't ask now. Where are you now? I'll come find you right away."

"Hmm... I'm at the ball-throwing arena, watching our school's game. Inoue-kun is amazing! Just now..."

pat!

While the person on the other end was still talking excitedly, Shirai Kuroko had already hung up the phone.

After zipping up the teddy bear, putting the report into her bag, Shirai Kuroko grabbed her handbag and 'whoosh' left the dormitory.

------

A ball-throwing arena.

Seeing his companion rushing towards him, Inoue Hideka decisively used his magnetic gloves to leave the spot.

My physical condition wasn't very good to begin with, and if I were to be trapped here, I'm afraid I would exhaust all my remaining strength.

After moving to the edge of the arena, Inoue Hideka walked towards the stands, heading towards where Saten Ruiko and Uiharu Kazari were.

"Yinghua! Over here!"

Seeing Inoue Eika approaching, Saten Ruiko stood up and greeted Inoue Eika with a cheer.

Um...does it have to be this embarrassing?

Everyone around is watching, didn't you notice?

Inoue Hideka thought to himself, "I'm criticizing Saten Ruiko in my heart, but on the surface I did the same silly thing as Saten Ruiko."

He made a victory sign with his hand, held it up in front of his eyes, and even winked mischievously.

Kazari Uiharu sat next to Ruiko Saten, watching the two interact, and felt a little embarrassed.

The strange looks from the surrounding audience were a bit unbearable for her.

"Well, well~ Saten-san, please sit down first. Inoue-san is coming right away."

Swish!

Before Saten Ruiko could react, Shirai Kuroko suddenly appeared beside them.

"Early Spring! Come with me!"

Before Uiharu Kazari could even reply, Shirai Kuroko, her face grim, had already patted Uiharu Kazari on the shoulder.

Then, with a 'whoosh,' the two of them disappeared from the arena together.

Saten Ruiko was slightly taken aback, not understanding what had happened.

Moreover, judging from Shirai Kuroko's expression, something terrible seems to have happened.

At this moment, Inoue Hideka climbed the stairs and finally reached Saten Ruiko's side, asking in confusion:

"What's wrong? What's the matter that you're in such a hurry, Shirai?"

"I don't know... She didn't say anything, she just took Chuchun and left."

"Hmm...I see."

Inoue Hideka fell into deep thought upon hearing this.

He rested his chin on his hand and pondered for a moment, then, without saying anything more, grabbed Saten Ruiko's hand and, as they walked out, turned back with a smile, saying:

"Let's go! It's me and Ruiko teaming up for the next match! I'm really looking forward to it!"

"Huh? I feel so embarrassed! Why does Yinghua insist that I participate in this competition?!"

Chapter 269 Trust and Tacit Understanding

Branch 177.

Shirai Kuroko and Uiharu Kazari suddenly appeared in the room.

Looking at the puzzled Kazari Uiharu, Shirai Kuroko hesitated, her eyes fixed on the ground, as if she was trying to figure out how to express what she was about to say.

"What's wrong, Shirai-kun? You suddenly called me over, there must be something you need, right?"

"Well……"

Upon hearing Uiharu Kazari's question, Shirai Kuroko pondered for a moment before replying somewhat shyly:

"In early spring, I need to ask you for a favor. It's a personal matter, but I need you to use your authority as a disciplinary committee member. If you want to refuse, I also..."

"Shirai-kun, it's really unusual for you to be so polite all of a sudden!"

Shiratsuyuki Kazari interrupted the hesitant Shirai Kuroko, walked to the computer, sat down, pressed the power button, and turned to look at Shirai Kuroko with a smile.

"I trust Shirai-kun! Even if it's a private matter, I don't think it's something he did to abuse his power!"

"..."

Looking at her friend's gentle smile, Shirai Kuroko paused for a moment.
