The Legend of Level 0 in Academy City

"I understand, Captain."

Following closely behind Mai Okita, Rei Ueno also expressed his stance.

As for Kawahara Seiya... he had a lower status and was considered to be ignored.

"call……"

Seeing that the four (or three?) people finally relented, Inoue Hideka looked gratefully at Himuro Rinbe and finally felt relieved.

Anxin turned around to face Misaka Mikoto and Saten Ruiko.

At this moment, Saten Ruiko and Misaka Mikoto were still in a state of surprise and shyness.

I thought Inoue Hideka would help the other side to blame me, but unexpectedly, she took all the blame herself.

Moreover, even if it's not explicitly stated, it's impossible for any girl to be completely at ease in front of so many people, right?

Both of them felt awkward when Inoue Hideka looked at them.

They had misunderstood Inoue Hideka from the beginning, and now they doubted that he would stand on their side. They felt that they had really let Inoue Hideka down.

Overwhelmed by guilt, shyness, and regret, the two involuntarily lowered their heads, unable to face Inoue Hideka.

"So, Mikoto, Ruiko, what happened to you... Waaah!"

Inoue Hideka, who was originally planning to ask Saten Ruiko and Misaka Mikoto what their attitudes were, suddenly fell face-first at Saten Ruiko's feet.

"Come on! Mai, Seiya, Zero! Since the minister has brought this up, wouldn't it be a waste of the electric shocks we just suffered if we didn't vent all the anger we've been holding back?"

Himuro Rinbu retracted his forward-kicking leg and lunged at Inoue Eika, who was lying on the ground in front of him, while shouting.

"Hey! You guys... are you serious?!"

Inoue Hideka struggled to turn over, her body pinned beneath Himuro Rinbe, screaming in frustration while cursing inwardly:

You fucking give me back all the gratitude I felt!

"Oh! Here I am, Captain! I'm going to get revenge for the minister always ignoring me!"

"Hmph! Wait till I find the most powerful bomb!"

"Don't worry! I recorded what the minister just said on my phone, so I guarantee he won't dare to go back on his word!"

Ueno Rei's calm voice was like a demonic sound to Inoue Hidekazu, extinguishing the last glimmer of hope in his heart!

Tap, tap tap, tap,

A strange, crisp sound rang out from beside Inoue Hideka.

"Huh? How did my bomb roll over there?"

Mai Okita, who was groping herself all over, let out a surprised cry.

"Wow ah ah!"

"Mai! Are you trying to die?!"

Upon hearing Mai Okita's words, Himuro Rinbe and Kawahara Seiya shouted angrily, quickly scrambled off Inoue Eika, and ran far away in a flash.

They knew that the bomb this reckless girl was using was one she had designed herself for her own convenience.

Importantly, although the principle is unclear, the activation condition she set for her bomb was—three seconds after it left her body!

boom! ! !

With a loud bang, Inoue Hideka felt himself being plunged into darkness.

Everything was blurry and indistinct; nothing could be seen clearly.

Chapter 304 Lady Mikoto is not one to renege on her debts

Whoosh!

Inoue Eika turned on the tap, letting the clear water flow straight down.

Looking at her disheveled reflection in the mirror, Inoue Hideka felt incredibly fortunate.

Fortunately, the bombs dropped by Mai Okita were only auxiliary, not for combat.

Otherwise, at such close range, Inoue Hideka might have been blown to pieces if he hadn't had time to react.

In the end, only Inoue Eika, who was closest to the person, was covered in dirt, especially his face.

Although Saten Ruiko was very close to Inoue Eika, she was not affected by the surrounding air currents due to her ability.

The others, on the other hand, were not only unharmed, but also clean and spotless.

Even Touma Kamijou, who is usually lucky (E... well, maybe Z), escaped unscathed.

As a result, he was the only one who suffered the most from this whole ordeal.

"what!"

With a pessimistic sigh, Inoue Hideka complained resentfully:

"That Okita guy, he must have done it on purpose, right?"

In the final moments, Himuro Rinbe and Kawahara Seiya, mistaking it for an offensive bomb, abandoned Inoue Eika and ran away alone.

Inoue Hideka felt that this behavior was wrong no matter how she thought about it.

That's not something someone would do if they had just heard that someone had attacked the 'group' and that the target might be Inoue Hideka, and immediately stood in front of Inoue Hideka.

Moreover, even if Okita Mai is reckless and brainless, she is still a member of the Anbu. How could she possibly make such a fatal mistake as losing her weapon?

Given the tacit understanding that the four members of 'New Moon' have developed over the years, the process can be roughly deduced.

Mai Okita was deliberately trying to make fun of Hideka Inoue, but she didn't want to implicate her teammates, which is why she gave that warning.

The two, who were familiar with Mai Okita's bomb setup and knew she couldn't possibly make such a mistake, instantly understood the cause and effect. They quickly left Inoue Hideka while simultaneously shouting a threatening cry to scare her.

Thinking of this, Inoue Hideka slapped the water hard on her face and rubbed it vigorously.

"You bastard! Hmph... The green hills remain and the clear waters flow on, one day I will get my revenge!"

Even if she racked her brains, Inoue Hideka couldn't figure out why she had to become like this. Looking in the mirror, she checked whether the grime on her face was clean, and muttered angrily to herself in resentment.

"Hmph! Who are you talking about!"

Inoue Hideka, who thought everyone was waiting for him in the minister's office, was startled by the sound coming from the corridor. He had just finished cursing.

If Mai Okita or Rei Ueno were to overhear this, things could become complicated again.

Especially the latter. Although she is gentle and understanding towards her own people, if she puts someone on the opposite side, she will do everything in her power to deal with that person!

Fortunately, although it was the same girl's voice, it wasn't one of the two girls.

After recognizing the owner of the voice, Inoue Hideka breathed a sigh of relief and said softly:

"Now that you're out here, could you explain why you were so angry just now before you go back?"

"Hmm! The... reason??"

"Yes! It's not the Mikoto I know who would just curse without even knowing what happened. So, there must be a reason, right? What is it that made her so angry?"

Inoue Hideka took a tissue out of her pocket and wiped the water droplets from her face.

Through the wall, Inoue Hideka didn't see Misaka Mikoto's feverish face; otherwise, he would never have spoken to her in such a dismissive tone.

"What, what reason could there be! I, I'm not, I'm not angry! Humph!"

"kindness?"

Inoue Hideka threw the tissue into the trash can, walked into the corridor, and was taken aback when she saw Misaka Mikoto with a flushed face.

"What 'hmm'?! By the way, what's with that Indian poker thing of yours?! You, you really want to, want to..."

Bilibili, Bilibili~

Misaka Mikoto's expression changed rapidly; she had already changed it several times before she even finished saying that one sentence.

From arrogance to anger, from anger to shyness, and then to embarrassment and rage, sparks flew from her hair.

"Forehead……"

Upon hearing Misaka Mikoto mention Indian poker and seeing her blushing face, Inoue Hideka instantly thought of the Indian poker cards related to Misaka Mikoto's erotic dreams that he had hidden under his bed.

No way?

Did she see it?

Otherwise, why would he blush when he brought up Indian poker?

So that's why you were angry just now?

No, no!

Now is not the time to think about this; we need to quickly distract her!

Otherwise, I'll get another electric shock!

Inoue Hideka's mind raced, her eyes lighting up as she anxiously advised Misaka Mikoto:

"Calm down, Mikoto! You already shocked me, you still owe me one, do you want to do it again?"

"Huh? What are you saying... Uh!"

With lightning flashing between her brows, Misaka Mikoto glared at Inoue Hideka and retorted with displeasure. Halfway through her sentence, she suddenly remembered something, her expression froze, and her face, which had just recovered slightly, turned red again.

The punishment for losing the Daihasei Festival is...

If I flirt with this guy again, I want to kiss him...

"Huh? Um... Mikoto-sama isn't the type to renege on her debts, it's just... Eh? What am I saying? Anyway, darling... ahhhhh! What am I even saying?!"

Inoue Hideka pursed her lips, trying to suppress her laughter.

He was not only proud of successfully throwing Misaka Mikoto into a state of confusion.

Seeing Misaka Mikoto fidgeting and unsure of what to do, Inoue Eika really wanted to laugh.

Arrogant children are so cute!

Aloof and arrogant, easily harassed; delicate and thin-skinned, easily teased!

She was already at a loss after just a few gentle words.
