The Legend of Level 0 in Academy City

Toktu's contemptuous voice rang out around Inoue Eika, while Padsen was about 5 meters away from where Inoue Eika was.

Suddenly, Toktu's voice was abruptly cut off.

Because a hole with a side length of two meters appeared on the ice surface under Inoue Hidekazu's feet, centered on him, and the original ice layer disappeared.

So, Inoue Hideka and Toktu fell downwards together.

In the midst of the chaos, Inoue Hideka swiftly grabbed Toktu's arm, who was still in shock, and held him firmly in her hand.

Below, Touma Kamijou jumped off a huge block of ice he had found somewhere and quickly walked to Toktu, who had fallen with Inoue Eika, running his right hand over Toktu's feet.

"Eh?"

Toktu was bewildered, feeling the power suddenly disappear from his body, and he didn't understand what had happened.

How come everything was fine just now? I was clearly in the lead over Parderson, so why did my power disappear in the blink of an eye?

Besides, wasn't this spiky-haired boy supposed to be going to find reinforcements? How did he end up here?

"Toktu, how are you?"

Going up to the next floor, Paterson, peering down from the cave entrance, asked Toktu.

……

Toktu was silent for a moment, then, regaining his senses, hurriedly called out to Padson:

"Padson, get down here quickly and take me away from here. Let's get out of here immediately!"

"Well done, Touma!"

Inoue Hideka seemed not to hear Toktu's words, and gently patted Kamijou Touma's shoulder with her right hand, praising him.

Then, looking at Index, who was pouting and seemed angry for some unknown reason, he cautiously asked:

"Index, what's wrong? Who made you angry?"

"Hmph! It's all Yinghua's fault! She won't listen to me at all! I finally get a chance to use my strengths! Why can't she let me finish speaking!"

"The key point is, what you said later doesn't seem to be of any use, does it?"

"Those two people..."

Seeing Inoue Hideka suddenly relax, Kamijou Touma awkwardly reminded her, "The enemy hasn't been dealt with yet. Is it okay to chat so amicably?"

On the other side, Paterson, who jumped down from the upper level, grabbed Toktu and started running out at full speed.

"Touma, that fat guy seems to be your type, right? Don't you want to teach him a lesson and avenge Index? The rest is up to you!"

Padson had previously spoken rudely to Index, and Inoue Eika knew that Kamijou Touma would definitely be very angry.

So after dealing with Toktu, he didn't plan to take any further action, letting Touma Kamijou vent his anger.

Anyway, the fat guy is slower than a normal person, and Touma Kamijou has premonitions, so he won't get hit by him.

Chapter 352 The Pain Accompanying Adolescence (Part Two)

Early morning of September 28th, Rome time.

The farce instigated by Piageo Pusoni, a Roman Catholic bishop, has finally come to an end.

The instigator, Piageo, and the unidentified fat and thin magicians were handed over to Amakusa to be taken back to the British Puritans for interrogation.

Inoue Hideka did not raise any objection to this.

Although the two magicians were indeed after him, the interrogation of magicians should indeed be left to the English Puritans, who were also magicians, as they were more adept at this kind of work.

However, Inoue Hideka earnestly requested that the Amakusa-style members inform him as soon as possible after learning about the organization behind the two.

Meanwhile, the Roman Catholic Army of Agnes, consisting of 252 men, defected to the Anglican Church.

With this, the Adriatic Sea incident officially came to an end.

Touma Kamijou wasn't seriously injured, at least he didn't have to take a supersonic plane back to Academy City for treatment like in the original story.

While the others all had some injuries, unlike Touma Kamijou, they were not affected by the Illusion Killer, and their bodies could be healed and restored with magic.

Early morning, in a hotel in Chiojja.

Amakusa's group, including Osora, had already led the prisoners to England overnight, leaving only Inoue Eika, Kamijou Touma, and Index here.

The night is deep.

Inoue Eika did not rush back to Academy City, but instead booked two rooms in Georga.

Don't misunderstand.

It's not Index and Touma Kamijou together, nor is it Index and Eika Inoue together.

Instead, Index had her own room, while Touma Kamijou and Eika Inoue booked a double room.

Originally, given Inoue Hideka's extravagant nature, she planned to book three rooms, but she couldn't resist Kamijou Touma's thrifty and hardworking personality, so in the end she only booked two rooms.

After a quick shower, Inoue Eika wrapped herself in a towel and dried her hair as she walked out of the bathroom. She looked at Kamijou Touma, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, his face slightly red and swollen, but he was still excitedly looking at various Italian attractions on his phone.

Thanks to the fact that his injuries were not serious, Touma Kamijou plans to continue his unfinished trip in Italy tomorrow.

Inoue Hideka glanced at the expression on Kamijou Touma's face and said with a hint of helplessness:

"Go take a shower, Touma! Seriously, do you have to push yourself so hard? You can't win, yet you still keep charging in?"

Recalling the scene of chatting with Index in the Ice Ship Corridor, when suddenly hearing a series of bangs, rushing over only to find Touma Kamijou wrestling with that fat guy, Inoue Eika felt speechless.

Kamijou Touma did indeed damage the fat man's spirit armor without sustaining any harm, but he didn't seem to calm down and insisted on fighting to the death with such a burly man.

Even without his spirit armor, Paterson still has all his muscles!

As a result, Touma Kamijou still couldn't beat him, but he insisted on fighting even though he couldn't win, so he inevitably suffered some minor injuries. In the end, he was only able to subdue Paterson with the help of Eika Inoue.

"Well, it's already like this, and it doesn't hurt that much, so Yinghua, don't say anything more. Okay, I'm going to take a shower!"

"kindness."

Inoue Hideka gave a simple reply and picked up her phone to check the unread messages (it seemed to be emails or something, but I'm used to texting, and now it's so messed up I don't even know what word to use anymore. Please don't mind if you see text messages, emails, or messages mixed up in the future).

The message was from Saten Ruiko; she only asked when I would be back and didn't say anything else.

Judging by the time, it should be early morning in Academy City right now.

After thinking for a moment, Inoue Eika replied to Saten Ruiko.

Seeing Touma Kamijou immediately go into the bathroom, Inoue Hideka, while waiting for the phone call, cautiously asked:

"Hey Touma! What if Index sneaks up on us while we're asleep? Shouldn't we lock the door? By the way, Index should know lock-picking magic, right?"

Inoue Hideka vaguely remembered that Index seemed to have lock-picking magic, but he couldn't remember for sure whether she did or not.

"Huh?!?!"

Upon hearing Inoue Eika's words, Kamijou Touma, who was walking to the bathroom door, shuddered, and his already spiky hair seemed to become even more energetic.

"No, no way?"

"Never mind, even if it's a night raid anyway... Hey? Ruiko?"

As we were talking, the call was answered.

Inoue Hideka decisively abandoned her conversation with Kamijou Touma and instead began talking to Saten Ruiko.

------

At the same time.

Early morning of September 28th, Tokyo time.

In the park near Tokiwadai Dormitory in the 7th District of Academy City.

The crackling sound continued without interruption.

Deep within the park, a brown-haired girl dressed in Tokiwadai's autumn/winter uniform radiated lightning from head to toe. Surrounded by blue electric sparks, her expression was anxious and gloomy.

After a long while, it finally stopped releasing lightning, frowning and muttering in exasperation:

"Damn it! What direction should we take? If things continue like this... won't we just end up like before?!"

As she muttered to herself, a ball of blue lightning gathered in the girl's palm. Looking down at her palm, the girl's expression gradually changed from anger to sorrow.

"What use is this ability to me? So what if I'm level 5? So what if I have a railgun? Whether it's this time or the last time, it's all the same... equally useless..."

Her expression changed again, and confusion and a hint of regret appeared on the girl's face.

She hated her own uselessness.

I hate myself for always having to rely on that idiot to save the day!

why?

Why is it that even though he's an incapable person and his junior, he always has to act like a pillar, supporting his own world?

She is not reconciled.

She was unwilling to always be treated like an outsider and excluded from events.

What she found even more unbearable was that the idiot almost lost his life because of her!

This is the key reason why the girl made up her mind to become stronger.

Once is enough for something like that to happen, for that idiot to almost die. I never want to see something like that happen before my eyes again!

This is the girl's determination.

She is growing, she needs to grow, she tells herself that she must grow!

Not only internally, but also externally.

Because I don't want to experience pain again!

At the very least, I don't want to experience the painful taste of 'loss' again.

"But what should I do? How can I move forward?"

The girl, having reaffirmed her resolve, gradually regained her composure and began to carefully consider what potential she still had to develop.

Recalling her first encounter with Accelerator, the girl felt that her attacks were insufficient.

Facing Kakine Teitoku for the second time, she felt that her defenses were also very weak.
