The Legend of Level 0 in Academy City

Doorway.

The four members of 'New Moon' were completely bewildered, not understanding why their gentle and refined leader had suddenly lost his temper.

From initial reluctance to working together to kill Director Hiroshige Rei, and then eliminating illegal researchers, along with the afternoon spent playing around together, the members of 'New Moon' have completely let go of their prejudices against Inoue Eika, their new boss.

In particular, after playing around that afternoon and discovering that Inoue Eika was surprisingly easy to get along with, the group no longer felt so cautious and became more relaxed around her.

So, after receiving Inoue Hidekazu's notification, and considering the previous incident where they had mobilized a large force but hastily defeated the enemy, the group didn't take it to heart.

Instead, he arrived rather casually and late.

Unexpectedly, what I encountered was the anger of my usually easy-going boss.

In response, the talkative, bold, and disrespectful red-haired loli, Okita Mai, was the first to defend herself:

"Minister, why are you being so fierce! People probably think it's just another trash opponent like last time, so it's normal that they're not interested, right?"

"Hmph! Mai is right. For me, a dignified level 4 Origin Stone, to actually deal with such trash is an insult to me!"

Himuro Rinbe, having recovered from Inoue Eika's roar, crossed his arms and said with a disdainful expression.

"Captain, Mai, stop talking."

Seeing Inoue Hideka's increasingly grim expression, Ueno Rei secretly tugged at Himuro Rinbe and Okita Mai's sleeves, offering them kind words of comfort.

"So, Kawahara, do you share the same thoughts as the other two?"

With a long face, Inoue Eika blocked the doorway, showing no intention of letting the group in. She looked at the only one who hadn't spoken, Kawahara Seiya, and asked coldly.

"Huh? I..."

Kawahara Seiya glanced furtively at his superior, Himuro Rinbe, then at his current boss, Inoue Hideka, unsure of where to stand, and stammered:

"Please, Minister, ignore my opinion. I'm just a lowly sniper, I have no special skills..."

"Hmph! Okita and Himuro have been disrespectful to their superior; their bonuses for this month are deducted! Come in!"

"Huh? What's going on? I was planning to take the bonus... Ah! This isn't fair! The minister is settling a personal score!"

"Tch! Stingy! Fine, deduct it if you want. I'm not someone who lives off bonuses!"

"Oh?"

Inoue Hideka, who had already opened the door and entered the minister's office, raised an eyebrow and turned around with a sinister look when she heard the complaints behind her.

"Disrespectful to your superiors and unrepentant, let me think, how should you be punished!"

"Uh!" x2

"Please, Minister, calm down!" (Still x2)

Seeing Inoue Hidekazu's cunning smile, the two readily admitted defeat. After all, he was the boss, and even something as important as eating was in his hands.

"You spineless cowards, forget it, I don't have time to argue with you now, hurry up and come in."

Inoue Hideka curled her lip in disdain, then moved a stool for each of the four people and placed it next to the table in front of the sofa.

He then sat down next to Touma Kamijou's desk, cleared his throat, and skipped the lengthy introduction, getting straight to the point.

"Ahem! As I just mentioned, the current situation is that the higher-ups in Academy City have issued an assassination order against me. But we don't yet know which high-ranking official issued this order or why. Now that everyone is here, let's discuss our next steps. Oh, right, there's another important piece of information."

Inoue Hideka suddenly remembered that she had forgotten to mention Mugino Shizuri's matter.

"Before this, the Dark Side 'Tools,' the organization that the fourth Atomic Collapse belongs to, accepted the mission to kill me. However, I have now been defeated and can be disregarded for the time being. But given this situation, the next attack is very likely to be by an organization of equal or greater strength. I hope everyone is mentally prepared."

Chapter 294 Ruiko's Secret Advance Towards Inoue

After accompanying Frenda to the hospital for treatment, Saten Ruiko went home.

Since Frenda refused to be hospitalized and insisted on going home, and seemed to be in a somewhat depressed mood, Saten Ruiko did not force Frenda to be hospitalized for treatment.

Chu Chun Shiri went to the 177th branch.

With nothing to do and still feeling lingering fear from the previous battle, Saten Ruiko decided to stop wandering around outside and go home to rest.

When I got home, no one was there.

Saten Ruiko was already used to the fact that the two groups had strange whereabouts and behaviors, and didn't pay much attention to them.

At this moment, she was lying on Inoue Eika's bed, thinking about the first battle that had suddenly occurred that day.

She has already removed the electrodes to charge them.

Saten Ruiko planned to open it and familiarize herself with it after it was fully charged.

She felt that she was still too unfamiliar with how to use her abilities. There were probably many other uses for controlling her atmosphere, and she needed to familiarize herself with them properly.

Thinking about how Inoue Eika had just abandoned her to participate in the competition, she felt a little angry again.

Lying in bed, pouting, she muttered:

"Hmph! You jerk Yinghua! Don't you care about your girlfriend at all? You bastard! This is her first time!"

No, that's not right. Yinghua isn't my boyfriend now.

I've already dumped him!

At best, he can only be considered a backup plan!

"No, no! Precisely because he's a backup option, we should be even more attentive! Otherwise, we won't even give him the backup option!"

Saten Ruiko hugged her pillow, feeling something was wrong no matter how she thought about it, and rolled around on the bed in frustration.

"Ugh! Whatever, it's all Yinghua's fault anyway! How could she be so inconsiderate! Humph! Since that's the case, I'll find my own solace... No, no! This is just a punishment for Yinghua!"

After finding a legitimate reason for herself, Saten Ruiko climbed off the bed, lifted the sheet, and pulled a box out from under the bed.

"Hmph! Sure enough, Yinghua has hidden something again. Let me see what it is."

pat!

The box was opened, and Saten Ruiko was slightly taken aback.

"This is... a toy gun, right? Hmm! It's so heavy! Could it be real?"

Saten Ruiko fiddled with the object in her hand, examining what she considered a toy.

"Huh! It really is the real deal! That bastard Yinghua really has a lot of things he's hiding from me! Even Chuchun doesn't have something like this, how did an ordinary person like him manage to get his hands on it!"

Snapped!

Slamming the pistol down on the table, Saten Ruiko then picked up a talisman.

"This... doesn't it look like the one Misaka-senpai gave him? Hmph! What a womanizing bastard! I'd like to see how many other gifts he has hidden away!"

He put the amulet aside, flipped through the cards in his hand, and suddenly, as if he had discovered a new continent, a look of surprise flashed across his face.

"Isn't this Indian Poker? Wow! Eikawa, that guy, has something this good and he didn't even share it with me! What a bastard! Humph! Even if you didn't share it with me, I still know how to use it! Now that I've found it, hmph! Lady Ruiko will definitely not let it go!"

Saten Ruiko deliberately set the cards aside, intending to take a look later to see just how magical these legendary Indian playing cards really were.

Then, he reached for a stack of white papers turned upside down at the bottom of the box.

As my fingers touched the white paper, I suddenly hesitated.

"I remember this place depicting some kind of idiots, it was pretty boring... Oh well, I'll go watch Indian Poker instead."

He withdrew his hands and put the amulet and pistol back into the box one by one, when a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

No, those silly characters Yinghua drew were all on the bookshelf, but she deliberately hid them under the bed...

Swish!

Thinking of this, Saten Ruiko quickly took out the amulet and pistol, and then picked up the white paper without hesitation to look at it.

The moment Saten Ruiko saw the image on the first sheet of paper, a look of disappointment flashed across her face.

what the hell!

So they're still no different from those other things? Just a bunch of stupid people!

He actually hid such useless things; I really don't know what he was thinking.

Out of boredom, I scrolled down to the next two pages.

"Huh? This...this is..."

Curiosity piqued, Saten Ruiko continued flipping through the pages.

"Huh? No way?"

Is this what adults do?

Splash, splash,

As she turned the pages, Saten Ruiko's face grew increasingly red.

However, even so, her strong curiosity prevented her from stopping her flipping through the pages.

Is this... Is this what Yinghua wants to do to me?

But...

That thing, really, really can... Wow, it must hurt terribly, right?

How...how is it possible that they got in?

"Huh?! What am I even thinking?!"

"Damn Yinghua! You bastard! Idiot! You son of a bitch! You pervert! You beast! How could you, how could you..."

Knock knock knock!

A knock came from the living room door, startling Saten Ruiko. The papers in her hand flew out and scattered on the floor.

Knock knock knock!

The knocking came again.

"Oh, oh, oh, I'm here!"

Hastily replying, Saten Ruiko casually gathered up the papers scattered on the ground and tossed them into the box. She then threw the amulet and pistol into the box as well, and quickly pushed the box under the bed.

After doing all this, he hurriedly left the room.
