The Legend of Level 0 in Academy City

"Misaka-senpai has indeed misunderstood you all, and I apologize on her behalf. However, Misaka-senpai was unaware of the situation beforehand. I recall the saying, 'Ignorance is no excuse,' right? Besides, none of you have suffered any loss. In that case, as you say, isn't what you're doing—being so arrogant towards an unsuspecting girl—also impolite?"

"Oh? Really? I don't feel that way at all!"

Ueno Rei didn't care whether the person opposite him was Inoue Hidekazu's girlfriend or not. This was the second time that the tea-tea girl had indiscriminately electrocuted five people, including Inoue Hidekazu.

Whatever the reason, she won't swallow this insult so easily.

Squinting, Ueno Rei scrutinized Saten Ruiko, who also had long black hair but was more beautiful than her. Ueno Rei began to re-evaluate this girl who had been quiet just moments before but had suddenly become serious.

Her intuition told her that the girl in front of her was just an ordinary person.

Unlike her, who frequently comes into contact with the 'dark' and is a fugitive who walks on the edge of death year after year.

Yet this girl, who was otherwise quite ordinary except for her appearance, gave Ueno Rei a feeling that he couldn't find any weakness in her.

The serious expression on her face did not convey arrogance or domineering attitude, nor did it give off a sense of overwhelming power at first glance.

But the determination and fearlessness revealed in his eyes, the resilience that would never change his mind no matter what he faced, left Ueno Rei with a sense of helplessness.

However, she wasn't entirely without options. Changing the subject, she glanced at Misaka Mikoto and then said to Saten Ruiko:

"I'm not targeting that lady, but after doing something so outrageous, shouldn't there at least be some basic courtesy?"

She had heard a little about the personality of the third person.

Make her apologize?

Sorry, that's almost impossible.

If she has any misunderstandings with a friend, she will not hesitate to apologize.

But if the other party is an enemy, and is using such an intimidating attitude, given Misaka Mikoto's proud and arrogant personality, she would rather die than admit defeat!

Inoue Hideka and Izali, who were in the room, knew this even better than she did.

Therefore, both of them, who are still in a state of complacency, are extremely anxious to send warning glances to Ueno Rei, hoping that she will stop while she's ahead and not go too far.

Of course, Saten Ruiko, who had spent a considerable amount of time with Misaka Mikoto, was also aware of this.

Seeing that the other party not only wouldn't let go but was also using a strategy of retreat to advance, further provoking Misaka Mikoto, Saten Ruiko's eyes gradually cooled, and any remaining politeness completely vanished. She said disdainfully:

"I'm sorry, but you seem to have misunderstood something. We didn't mean to seek your forgiveness, nor did we ever intend to reconcile with you. As for your so-called proper attitude, we have absolutely no interest in it! What you think is a trivial matter to Misaka-senpai and me. We're here for only one purpose—to take away that idiot over there!"

As Saten Ruiko finished speaking, she glared angrily at Inoue Eika, and at the same time gently turned on the electrodes that she had turned off earlier.

Suddenly, a gust of wind howled through the room, and the rustling sound of clothes being blown around was particularly jarring.

Along with the gust of wind that swept past everyone's ears, came Saten Ruiko's proud voice.

"Of course, it's fine if you want to stop us... Misaka-senpai and I... will absolutely fight to the end!"

The wind hasn't stopped.

It's still blowing.

Everyone, including Misaka Mikoto who had been awkwardly watching Saten Ruiko defend herself, was now looking at Saten Ruiko in surprise.

No one could have imagined that this seemingly gentle girl would be so assertive!

They declared war so casually and without any scruples!

The atmosphere, which had just eased, became tense again.

The four members of 'New Moon' looked seriously at the girl who was now in a standoff with them, ready to go into battle at any moment.

Misaka Mikoto was somewhat reserved. She really couldn't believe that Saten Ruiko, who usually kept a smiling face except when she was angry with Inoue Eika, would say such a thing.

It is said that people who laugh often are the most terrifying when they get angry, and she now truly understands this.

Moreover, the reason things turned out this way was because of her.

Thinking of this, she felt a little guilty, and nervously tugged at Saten Ruiko's sleeve, then Misaka Mikoto whispered:

"Um, Saten, about apologizing... I... I..."

"It's okay, Misaka-senpai!"

Hearing Misaka Mikoto's words, Saten Ruiko turned around and gave Misaka Mikoto a bright smile, gently saying:

"Misaka-senpai is Misaka-senpai. She doesn't need to compromise herself for anyone! Just be yourself!"

The person who caused such a tense atmosphere at the scene was now smiling so gently at me.

The stark contrast between her earlier and later statements caused Misaka Mikoto to pause in surprise, staring blankly at Saten Ruiko's retreating figure as she turned away after speaking. Her feelings suddenly became complicated.

"Waaaaah! Waaaaah!"

Seeing that things were going badly, Inoue Hideka, who had recovered a little, opened her mouth wide and desperately tried to give Kamijou Touma a meaningful look.

The situation was completely out of control, and Inoue Hideka felt that if he continued to sit idly by and wait for his demise, the entire 'group'...

No, perhaps the entire Moqing Building, where the 'Group' is located, is in danger of being destroyed.

Saten Ruiko is going to cause trouble today!

They just destroyed two buildings, so the security guards must be extremely busy right now!

However, less than two hours later, will he have to transform into a demolition team member again?

No!

This must never happen!

He wasn't worried that Misaka Mikoto and Saten Ruiko would suffer a loss!

Two level 5s facing a single level 4 'Crescent' with only one level 4 raw gem, how could they possibly be at a disadvantage!

He wasn't worried about his subordinates being crippled by the girl he liked.

Misaka Mikoto and Saten Ruiko are both kind-hearted girls who would never do anything excessive!

His biggest worry was whether his base would be reduced to ruins!

It's one thing to be destroyed by others, but to be reduced to ruins by infighting among your own people is just too unfair!

"Waaaaah! Waaaaah!"

Therefore, Inoue Hideka struggled desperately, hoping that Kamijou Touma would notice her soon and help her break free from the paralysis.

Now is not the time to worry about trivial matters!

The electrical current that is stable in the body can be restored if it is lost, but the 'corporation' is not so easy to rebuild after it is destroyed!

"Forehead……"

When Touma Kamijou first saw the gentle and virtuous Saten Ruiko, who cooked for him every day, reveal her sharp edge, he was still in shock.

Hearing the whistling sound behind him, he looked at Inoue Hideka with a puzzled expression.

"Yinghua, what are you trying to say?"

"Waaaaaah!!"

Damn it! If I could have said it, I would have said it already! Why would I have waited for you to ask!

When Inoue Hideka saw that Kamijou Touma, that idiot, was making such a foolish mistake at this moment, her eyes flashed with anger as she shot an arrow at him.

"Huh? Why are you suddenly angry? Mr. Kamijou hasn't done anything to wrong you! You wouldn't let me touch your body, and I haven't touched you, so why are you angry?"

Chapter 302 Is this guy a goofball?

"Waaaaaah!"

Asshole!

So can't you think about other reasons?

For example: I want you to touch my body, but you don't, so I'm angry?

Inoue Hideka felt like she was about to be driven crazy by Kamijou Touma!

Can't you think things through in a critical moment?

"Hey! What's wrong with you?! Mr. Kamijou, don't you think you did something wrong? Huh!! Eika, you... that look is like you're going to kill me! I, I'd better stay away from you?"

Speaking hesitantly, Touma Kamijou ignored the tense atmosphere and suddenly ran behind Ruiko Saten at the door, nervously asking her for help.

"Um, Saten-san! Since I often help you with housework, you have to talk to Eika for me! Only you can control him! When that guy gets angry, Mr. Kamijou's small frame can't handle it!"

……

……

……

……

"Huh? W-what?!"

Hiding behind Saten Ruiko, Kamijou Touma clearly sensed that the atmosphere was different from before.

He, who had been an outsider who hadn't noticed the tense atmosphere just moments before, suddenly felt that everyone in the minister's office was pointing their fingers at him.

The contemptuous and helpless look in his eyes, as if he were looking at an idiot, made him feel immense pressure.

"I'm telling you... Mr. Kamijou didn't do anything, did he? Why are you all looking at me like that?!"

"Hmm... sir, I think the minister means for you to help him remove the paralysis. Can't you... really see that?"

Sensing that the atmosphere had eased somewhat, Ueno Rei looked at Kamijou Touma, who was hiding behind Saten Ruiko for protection, with a black line on his forehead, and asked speechlessly.

If the timing weren't so inappropriate, she would definitely be saying right now: "Is this guy a clown?"

"Huh? Is that so? But Yinghua warned me not to touch his body?"

"..."

In response to Touma's question, Rei Ueno simply turned his head away and stopped looking at him.

She felt this person was beyond saving; his reaction time was so incredibly slow, he was truly a genius!

It's definitely not something an ordinary person like her could explain with just a few words.

Therefore, she decided to ignore the idiot that the minister had brought back, who seemed useless but was apparently highly valued by the minister.

She was convinced that continuing down this path would definitely lower her IQ.
