The Legend of Level 0 in Academy City

Inoue Hideka had no romantic feelings for Shirai Kuroko, and absolutely no intention of developing such feelings towards her.

Now, with a different weapon than the magnetic gloves—equipment called 'artificial magnetic field'—there's no need to specifically point your hands towards the metal.

Based on the principle of magnetic gloves, and combined with the sword fragments that Tang Jinyu accidentally discovered while polishing the red cross, which could perfectly integrate into human cells, a weapon that can penetrate the entire human body with magnetism was created.

The only special thing Inoue Hideka could think of about the sword was that it was a creation of magic, and magic is refined from human life force.

Inoue Hidekazu didn't understand the underlying principles; he only knew the effects.

He now has a chip the size of a fingernail installed in his spine, but the equipment is not limited to the chip. Instead, it forms a ray-like network within his body, centered around the chip.

Everywhere cells exist in the body is a miniature magnetic glove. With just a thought, the four functions of the magnetic glove can be activated.

Moreover, the magnetic range and intensity of the 'artificial magnetic field' are also much greater than those of the magnetic gloves.

However, what made Inoue Hideka happy yet regrettable was that the 'artificial magnetic field' could not be mass-produced. After all, one of the raw materials was his own red cross. It was impossible to disassemble the red cross, which had super defensive capabilities, to mass-produce the 'artificial magnetic field', right?

Recalling the feeling when she became familiar with the 'artificial magnetic field' this morning, Inoue Eika felt the weight behind her, placed her hands under Shirai Kuroko's legs, activated the magnetic force, and suddenly shot out.

The next instant, they were already 200 meters away.

With his body pressed against the wall, Inoue Hideka freed one hand to take out his phone and hand it to Shirai Kuroko behind him.

"Shirai, help me find Shokuhou's phone number."

"Hmm? Oh, okay!"

Shirai Kuroko paused for a moment after taking the phone, then began scrolling through her contacts.

……

……

"No! Do you really have her phone number saved in your phone?"

Half a minute passed, and they had traveled almost halfway. Shirai Kuroko still hadn't found him and shouted loudly at Inoue Eika ahead with a dark face.

"Huh? That's impossible..."

Helpless, Inoue Hideka had no choice but to stop leaning against the wall.

"Oh, the name saved is 'Your Majesty,' I forgot! Please look for it again..."

"Uh! Your Majesty? I remember that Shokuhou's faction only has girls. You're not a member of the faction, are you? Are you perhaps playing some kind of cosplay? S&M game?"

"You're a pervert! Only a masochist like you would engage in BDSM, right?"

Inoue Hideka made a speechless comment, and then activated his ability again before Shirai Kuroko could reply.

The strong winds generated by the high speed prevented Inoue Hideka from hearing what Shirai Kuroko said next, but that was also his purpose. He didn't want to be called a masochist by a certain masochist who reads Kuroko as a perverted writer!

Shirai Kuroko cursed angrily, and seeing that Inoue Eika did not respond, she did not say anything more, and took out her phone to search for the number named 'Queen'.

This time, she directly searched for the byte of 'Queen' and found it immediately.

However, Shirai Kuroko did not immediately tell Inoue Hideka, but instead exited the contacts and entered a familiar number on the dial pad.

She hadn't noticed when she was looking for it earlier, but this time she wanted to see how this pervert had saved her older sister's number.

36782... I had only typed these few words when the dialer screen was already showing only one contact—Tsundere Cannon?

After checking the number with some doubt and confirming that she hadn't entered it wrong, Shirai Kuroko entered the complete number again... 83721, or Tsundere Cannon?

Forehead!

isn't it?

Could this arrogant cannon be the real form of the older sister?

Although my older sister is indeed not very frank, is she a tsundere cannon... a tsundere railgun?

This pervert is really bold! What if my older sister saw this... But I like it! I'm going to use the same nickname for my older sister too!

So, if my older sister is a tsundere, then I... probably am not a proper nickname either, right?

With trepidation and worry, Shirai Kuroko deleted the previous number and entered her own number into Inoue Hideka's phone...

A perverted yuri masochist...? A perverted yuri masochist!

"—You big idiot! You perverted freak!!"

boom!

Shouting wildly, Shirai Kuroko smashed her phone directly onto the back of Inoue Hideka's head.

"Wow!"

Struck hard on the back of the head, Inoue Hideka lost her balance and her mind was disturbed, causing her to fall straight to the ground.

whoosh-

When they were less than five meters from the ground, Shirai Kuroko used her ability to teleport the two of them to a flat street.

"You pervert! Change my nickname back to normal!"

After regaining her balance, Shirai Kuroko shoved the phone into Inoue Hideka's arms and threatened him fiercely.

"what?"

Inoue Hideka's head was still a little sore, and she took the phone with a puzzled look on her face.

"Huh? You saw it? Oh, well, I'll definitely change it later. Let's go to the airport first, or we might be late."

Realizing what Shirai Kuroko had said, Inoue Hideka awkwardly scratched his head, knowing he was in the wrong, and dared not argue any further.

Although I was quite satisfied with the nickname I gave, since the person involved already knew about it, I had no choice but to reluctantly give it up.

"Hmph! I'll remember this. I'll settle the score with you later!"

Shirai Kuroko's face was ashen, but she temporarily put aside her personal grudges in the face of work.

"Okay, let's come on then. We should be here soon. In the meantime, Shirai, could you call Shokuhou's cell phone for me? I need to talk to her about something. We should arrive around the time she answers."

As Inoue Hideka handed the phone to Shirai Kuroko, he squatted down, gesturing for her to come up.

"Humph!"

With an annoyed snort, Shirai Kuroko took the phone, climbed back onto Inoue Eika's back, and while moving forward, she coldly found Shokuhou Misaki's phone number and dialed it.

Chapter 379 The Academic Prodigy of Tokiwadai is Like This

At the airport in the 23rd school district, Inoue Hideka did indeed see a group of people getting in and out of a passenger plane.

They were dressed in uniform black uniforms, seemingly preparing for something, their movements precise and swift.

Inoue Hideka took the phone from Shirai Kuroko. The call was going through, and the time displayed was 3:41, with two minutes left before departure.

"Hello? What's wrong?"

At that moment, Misaki Shokuhou's calm question came through the receiver.

"Shokuhou Gakuen... oh no, Shokuhou, you should know about Touma's matter, right?"

In the habit of calling out Shokuhou-senpai's name, Inoue Hideka suddenly remembered that Shokuhou Misaki had told her to call her by her name, so she immediately changed her address.

"Okay, I understand. He'll be fine."

With a calm tone and firm manner, Misaki Shokuhou replied in this understated manner.

"I think so too. But can you really be at ease until we know his whereabouts?"

"..."

Misaki Shokuhou remained silent and did not speak.

It's impossible to feel at ease, isn't it?

If even Inoue Hideka, as a friend, couldn't feel at ease, how could a girl who had her whole heart set on that boy possibly feel at ease?

"Leave Touma to me. I'm about to join the Academy City search team to find him. So, the rest... is in your hands!"

Although he didn't say what would happen next, Inoue Hideka knew that Shokuhou Misaki definitely understood what he meant.

The winds ahead are blowing, and the final piece will be infected with a virus. Misaki Shokuhou knows all this, and like Eika Inoue, she will absolutely not let such a thing go unchecked.

After all, this is my sister's business!

Of course, this is also one of the reasons why Inoue Hideka dared to leave Academy City at this time.

He trusted Misaki Shokuhou; with her around, she would definitely do no worse than him.

Moreover, given Misaki Shokuhou's intelligence and prudence, she would only do better than I did.

"Don't have too high expectations, I can't guarantee what I can do. But you, you absolutely must..."

For some reason, Misaki Shokuhou stopped halfway through her sentence, remained silent for a long while, and then, without continuing what she had said, simply uttered:

"No, it's nothing."

Then he hung up the phone.

Confused, Inoue Hideka put away his phone and called Shirai Kuroko as they walked toward the passenger plane with its cabin door open.

Without offering any further explanation, the person in charge, as if already receiving orders, urged Inoue Eika and Shirai Kuroko to leave as soon as they arrived.

It seems you received orders from above?

With this in mind, before the cabin door closed, Inoue Hideka found the person in charge and asked for the exact coordinates of the crash site of the passenger plane that Kamijou Touma was on, and sent them to Misaka Mikoto.

After the passenger plane took off, the feeling of weightlessness brought on by supersonic speed was indeed unpleasant.

However, before Inoue Hideka could adapt to the pressure of acceleration on his internal organs, the speed slowed down.

Japan's territory lies to the east of the Sea of ​​Japan, while its western border connects with eastern Russia and the Korean Peninsula.

The plane crashed in the sea between the Korean Peninsula and Honshu Island, not far from Academy City. As a result, it had only been a short time since it took off before it reached the airspace over the Sea of ​​Japan.

After slowing down, Inoue Hideka felt the pressure on her internal organs gradually disappear, and took out her phone to check the time.

No one asked him to turn off his phone, so Inoue Hideka did not turn it off, and he was still waiting for news from Misaka Mikoto.

The phone screen showed 3:56.

More than 40 minutes had passed since Touma Kamijou's plane crashed, and Inoue Hideka couldn't help but worry about the safety of Touma Kamijou and Index.

After all, anything can happen in just over 40 minutes on the vast ocean.
