The Legend of Level 0 in Academy City

Page 280

At least, if she didn't know these things, Misaki Shokuhou wouldn't be so conflicted and troubled right now!

There's no need to go through all that suffering!

So she decided that she would never look at those memories again, those of the idiot who might pass on his stupidity to her.

The most ideal, decisive, and resolute way to prevent oneself from seeing his memories is to hand over the authority of the external brain to him.

Since we're both at level 5 in Mind Control, my abilities have no effect on him.

At the same time, it can also solve the problem of this fool who has sacrificed so much for me.

Whether dealing with psychological constraints or the problem of subordinates lacking mental abilities, they can solve it with ease.

Having obtained the access to the external brain, he is already the strongest psychic in Academy City. Why would he need psychic subordinates?

The answer is naturally no.

Moreover, Misaki Shokuhou has absolutely no need to worry about Inoue Eika using an external brain to deal with her problems.

In this respect, she has every reason to feel at ease.

Would a fool who would risk his life without hesitation be so clever as to use what he gave him to fight back against him?

That's ridiculous!

If he truly has such awareness, then Misaki Shokuhou can rest assured.

At least, she no longer has to worry about some idiot who, after she's eliminated the idea of experimenting on the brain, will come up with other stupid ways to save her love.

Ultimately, this was just a means for Misaki Shokuhou to escape Inoue Eika's feelings.

Since we can no longer access his memories, we will never know what he did for us.

Misaki Shokuhou's intention was to deliberately ignore Inoue Hideka's feelings through this method.

At the same time, permanently and unchangeably sever this hopeless relationship from your own heart.

Whether it's out of guilt, to repay his efforts, or simply because she genuinely wanted to do something for this idiot, Misaki Shokuhou used this incident to bring this ill-fated relationship to a close in this way.

As for how things will actually turn out, who knows?

Misaki Shokuhou didn't want to think about such complicated things anymore, so she decided to leave it at that...

Perhaps, this is enough?

……

At that moment, Inoue Hideka's surprised voice, unaware that her secret had been completely exposed, reached the ears of Shokuhou Misaki, who was lost in thought.

"Wait, wait! Senior, what you just did..."

"Didn't I tell you to call me Shokuhou? After spending so much time with that muscle-bound idiot, has your brainpower become this incredible?"

"Forehead……"

Inoue Hideka wonders what Misaka Mikoto would think if she knew that Shokuhou Misaki had made such a fuss about her.

"Shokuhou, did I just hear something wrong?"

"If you're referring to the matter of giving you access to the external brain, then I can only say that, as expected, your brainpower has begun to develop in an unbelievable direction."

Ignoring the fact that Misaki Shokuhou seemed to have unleashed her full venomous power today, Inoue Hideka picked up the conversation and asked, puzzled:

"But isn't that thing very important to Misaki? Aren't you afraid I'll end up like those crazy researchers..."

"So……"

Before Inoue Hideka could finish speaking, Misaki Shokuhou suddenly turned her head, her starry eyes intently gazing into Inoue Hideka's eyes, and whispered:

"I'll just ask you here. Inoue, will you betray me one day?"

……

For some reason, Inoue Eika felt a strange sadness and endless melancholy in the calm, starry eyes that Shokuhou Misaki looked into.

At this moment, those beautiful eyes, just like the scene of the girl repeating her name countless times in front of the hedgehog-haired boy, deeply touched Inoue Hideka's heartstrings.

Why is she sad?

Why is she so melancholy?

I don't know, and I don't want to know.

All Inoue Hideka knew was that the only way to respond to the girl was with the utmost seriousness and unwavering conviction.

"will not!"

Even knowing the answer, Misaki Shokuhou felt the boy's determination even more clearly with just those two simple words.

"Heh... If that's the case, what are you still afraid of?"

Yes, Misaki Shokuhou's question did not stem from distrust of Eika Inoue.

Rather, it was to dispel Inoue Hidekazu's concerns, to make him believe in himself, and to believe that he was qualified to obtain the authority to use the external brain.

Misaki Shokuhou understands Eika Inoue, just as Eika Inoue understands her.

yes……

"We know each other best, we can entrust our backs to each other, what else is there to worry about?"

Turning her head again, Misaki Shokuhou looked out the car window and sighed to herself.

------

Second school district, talent housing.

This was the second time that Inoue Hideka had seen a giant brain placed in a transparent liquid.

Less than a month has passed since Kihara caused trouble with his crazy revenge, and now, Inoue Hideka has already obtained what that guy has been dreaming of.

Immediately after the handover of authority, Inoue Hideka sensed a power within her mind that was faint but could be activated with a single thought.

Now, he is a genuine superhuman, a true Level 5 Psychomaster!

No, perhaps that's not entirely accurate.

To be precise, he has now become a person without superpowers who truly possesses the power of a level 5 superpower user.

That's right. In essence, he is still just a person without superpowers, but he has gained superpowers through scientific means.

Just as he could briefly reach level 4 combat power by using the magnetic gloves, he only gained power through the item; his physical body was still only level 0.

Although the power of the external brain is incomparable to that of the magnetic gloves, in the end, the external brain is just a scientific product, a tool for acquiring power, and is essentially no different from the magnetic gloves.

"Alright, I'm going back to rest now. You can handle the rest yourself. Basically, if you can't solve something right now, there's nothing I can do about it!"

The implication is that if there's nothing else, try not to contact me anymore, as it won't make a difference.

Misaki Shokuhou meant that, but in her opinion, the chances of that idiot coming to that conclusion were extremely slim.

really……

"It's getting late. Shall I take you home, Misaki?"

Judging from his tone, which was exactly the same as before, he hadn't thought much about it at all.

With a helpless sigh, Misaki Shokuhou waved her hand and replied as she walked out of the workshop:

"No need. I'm going to buy some women's products on my way back, and it's inconvenient to bring you along."

"Forehead!"

Inoue Hideka broke out in a cold sweat. Could it be that the elegant queen who casually uttered such explosive words was really the same person?

Not right either.

Inoue Hideka remembered that when Shokuhou Misaki was skipping swimming class to mock Misaka Mikoto, she said something even more shocking: Misaka Mikoto's figure was so thin that she probably hadn't reached the age of menstruation yet!

Well, never mind, there shouldn't be any danger. It's really inconvenient for me to go with her when she goes to buy that kind of thing.

Inoue Hideka followed behind Shokuhou Misaki, walking out as she thought to herself.

at this time.

Ringing, ringing,

My phone suddenly rang in my pocket.

Inoue Hideka took out her phone, looked at it, pressed the answer button, and said into the phone:

"Yuki? What, there's already news?"

Chapter 340 My Laziness Is Terrible, Please Forgive Me

I just realized the chapter titles for the first two chapters were wrong. I'm confused again. Speechless.

As she reached the door, Inoue Eika held the phone and nodded to Shokuhou Misaki, who was about to lock the door, to make sure she saw it before walking towards the 'Group' headquarters, which was not far from here.

"Yes, there is indeed news, but..."

The hesitant voice of Yuuki Toshikawa came through the phone, and Inoue Hideka couldn't help but ask in confusion:

"But what? Just tell me the result, no matter what."

"Akiyama, and the boy the minister mentioned, they... have no family."

"I see..."

Upon hearing this, Inoue Hideka's eyes flashed with endless sorrow.

To my surprise, they were all orphans!

That's true. If they really had families, they would probably have considered their families at least a little before doing something foolish, right?

"So, what about the others? Any news about the other things I mentioned earlier?"

"Yes! Besides the fact that Yuwang Wanhua's hiding place hasn't been determined yet, there are two other things the minister mentioned..."

"Alright, Yuki!"

Upon hearing the information about Yuwang Wanhua, Inoue Hideka immediately interrupted Yuki Toshikawa.
