The Legend of Level 0 in Academy City

The scholar, Saten Ruiko, gently stroked the boy's back and said softly:

"Whether it was worth it or not, I don't know. That's not something we, who did nothing, can judge. The only ones who can ask are the ones who gave their lives."

Misaka Mikoto paused briefly, turning her head to look at Inoue Hideka's profile to make sure he was listening, before continuing:

"But... Yinghua, we can't be sure if you were worth it in the past, but isn't the decision for the future in your own hands? From now on, live your own life and don't let them regret sacrificing their lives for you, okay?"

Her gentle voice was as melodious as the song of a lark.

This was the first time Inoue Hideka had heard Misaka Mikoto speak to him in such a gentle whisper.

The tenderness is tinged with delicacy, the gentleness with concern, and the worry overflowing with deep love.

As Inoue Hideka pondered the meaning behind Misaka Mikoto's words, her eyes gradually regained focus.

Live your own life so they won't have any regrets?

……

Inoue Hideka raised her head, concealing the sadness in her eyes, and slowly closed them.

A moment later, when he opened his eyes again, all the confusion had vanished, and what filled his eyes was a steadfast determination like a rock!

Yes!

For them, and for ourselves.

From now on, I will decide my own life!

absolute!

absolute!

absolute!!

This must never happen again!!!

Chapter 336 Without you all, I might die

"Thank you, Misaka. I'm alright now, please let me go?"

If I heard correctly, Inoue Hideka just now heard Misaka Mikoto call her name.

This was something that would have seemed inconceivable and impossible before.

All Inoue Hideka could think of was that Misaka Mikoto had grown from this experience.

"Well……"

Upon hearing Inoue Eika's words, Misaka Mikoto hurriedly released her arm, blushing as she stepped aside.

Seeing Misaka Mikoto's flushed face, Inoue Hideka smiled helplessly.

As it turns out, it's impossible to change a proud and arrogant personality all at once.

"Silly boy, I have something to ask you."

Inoue Hideka stared intently at Misaka Mikoto's flushed cheeks, and before Misaka Mikoto could answer, she continued:

"How did you meet Xi Ling? Why did Xi Ling ask you to pass on a message to me?"

"Eh? Um, I..."

Misaka Mikoto, who hadn't even reacted yet to the ambiguous way Inoue Hideka addressed her, suddenly tensed up when she heard the question that followed, and became flustered, unsure of how to answer.

Even Misaka Mikoto knew that Inoue Eika would be angry about something like this.

She doesn't think that selfless dedication is something to be proud of, especially when the other party is definitely unwilling to accept her dedication.

……

really.

Seeing Misaka Mikoto's hesitant manner, Inoue Hideka knew that her guess was correct.

"You want to donate your heart to me, right?"

"Well!"

Misaka Mikoto was speechless with embarrassment after Inoue Hideka suddenly exposed her.

Like a child who has done something wrong but refuses to repent, he stood there stubbornly, his face expressionless, saying nothing.

"come over."

Inoue Hideka called out to Inoue Hideka in a flat tone.

"W-What are you doing?"

Upon hearing this, Misaka Mikoto cautiously glanced at Inoue Hideka, adopting a defensive posture.

"I told you to come here."

Inoue Hideka's expression turned cold, and he gave a deep command.

"what……"

What do you mean, you bastard!

They did this to save you! Why are you being so fierce!

snort!

I'd like to see what you, you bastard, dare to do to me!

Misaka Mikoto pouted angrily, leaned forward, and cautiously approached Inoue Hideka, ready to retreat immediately if anything went wrong.

boom!

As the familiar hand slowly approached her, Misaka Mikoto thought Inoue Hideka just wanted to touch her head or face. Just as she was hesitating whether to retreat, a sharp pain shot through her forehead.

"Ouch! That hurts!"

Misaka Mikoto cried out in pain as Inoue Hideka flicked her forehead hard.

"Let me make this clear first, if Misaka dies after giving me a heart transplant..."

Inoue Hideka withdrew her hand and looked at Misaka Mikoto with a cold expression.

"I will make sure you forget Mikoto completely, so you'll regret it, regret it so much you'll want to crawl out of the ground and strangle me! Maybe, having Shokuhou erase my memories of Mikoto wouldn't be bad either..."

However, the premise is probably that I can see Misaki Shokuhou alive, right?

After Inoue Hideka finished speaking, he added a sentence in his mind.

"What! You bastard! How could you be so cold-blooded! I must be blind to like you... Tch!"

"So... Mikoto, please don't do such foolish things in the future, okay? You and Ruiko, if either of you is missing, I might... die in despair!"

"Forehead!"

Misaka Mikoto was taken aback by what she heard, then a look of disdain appeared on her face, and she said dismissively:

"That's disgusting! Please stop talking! Sweet words from your mouth only make people feel nauseous!"

……

Normally, Inoue Hideka would have gone back without hesitation, but he wasn't in the mood for that now.

He picked up the phone next to him and made a call to Toshikawa Yuki.

Beep...beep...

"Hello, Minister, what are your orders?"

"Yuki, tell me how Akiyama died?"

"..."

Yuki Toshikawa, on the other side, paused for a moment before replying:

"I'm sorry, Minister. We haven't found out who killed Akiyama yet. All the surveillance footage from the room where Akiyama was before his death has been destroyed. Although the footage outside the surveillance room is very complete, unfortunately, it didn't capture any footage of the killer infiltrating the organization."

"I understand. Were photos taken at the scene of the death?"

"some."

Send it to me!

After Inoue Hideka finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

It's fairly easy to guess who the murderer is, even for Inoue Hideka.

There are four people in the 'school'. Apart from Kakine Teitoku, who is 'dead', the other three are Yuwang Manhua, Yuya Ryuko, and a girl whose name is unknown and whose ability is psychological regulation.

Inoue Hideka was familiar with the fighting styles of these three people, so once he saw the photos of the scene, he could basically determine who the murderer was.

Ringing~~

A short while later, Yuki Toshikawa sent over photos of the scene where Akiyama Yanagi died.

Looking at the photos on his phone, Inoue Hideka's face was so gloomy it looked like it was about to drip water.

The girl in the photo, carelessly tossed on the ground, has numerous burn marks of varying sizes all over her body, with a particularly noticeable bloody hole between her eyebrows.

But what angered Inoue Hideka the most was not the blood hole between her eyebrows, but the top of the girl's head.

Her original soft, wavy hair had all disappeared, leaving only a bald head.

Such a death is the greatest insult to a girl!

Inoue Hideka clenched her fists tightly and gritted her teeth, her silent anger spreading throughout the small hospital room.

Great reputation!

You...you deserve to die!!

That's right, Inoue Hideka has already guessed who the murderer is.

Yuwang Wanhua is a powerful psychic who uses telekinesis and is characterized by wearing special goggles.

As far as Inoue Hideka knows, the goggles he wears on his head can be used not only for analyzing, extracting, and transcribing intelligence, but also as a power switch.

It can also be used to make full use of the various abilities derived from psychokinesis, such as ignition, silence, transparency, and electronic operation.

Considering that Yuki Toshikawa said the surveillance footage did not capture the intruder's intrusion, and the burns on Akiyama Yan's body, it is clear who killed Akiyama Yan.
