The Legend of Level 0 in Academy City

The pilot was very skilled; even when the passenger plane's speed dropped to an extremely low level, it maintained a stable altitude of about 500 meters.

Inside the passenger plane, the uniformed and seemingly professional search personnel had already sprung into action, sending various scanners, detectors, and sensors toward the sea below.

Inoue Hidekazu didn't understand these things, but he guessed from their appearance that they were machines used to find specific targets.

Ringing~

The phone rang twice, and Inoue Hideka guessed that it was the result calculated by Misaka Mikoto that had been sent over. She hurriedly took out her phone to check the message.

The text message contained a long, tedious record of information:

Taking into account the shape and weight of the crashed aircraft, the impact of the number of passengers on board, the altitude of the aircraft above the sea at the time of the crash, and the wind direction and force at the time...

There were many more words after that, but Inoue Hideka impatiently skipped over them and flipped directly to the very end of that section.

—The possible coordinates of the fall are X and X.

then……

Calculate the wind direction and force over the Sea of ​​Japan at 3 PM today, and the impact of human weight on water flow...

Another long string of content appeared, and Inoue Hideka flipped to the end of the paragraph again.

—It is speculated that the direction of the drift is probably XX, or XX, or XX.

Such comments filled the entire phone screen, giving Inoue Hidekazu a real headache.

Completely exasperated, she mentally complained that the time it took Misaka Mikoto to type these words was probably enough for her to do five calculations.

So you're only sending the results now? You spent all your time typing?

No, no, this isn't the time to think about those things.

Is it fair to say that Misaka Mikoto truly lives up to her reputation as a top student from the prestigious Tokiwadai academy?

Inoue Hideka felt overwhelmed just looking at the results, yet she actually managed to arrive at these incredibly troublesome conclusions using only the computational power of the human brain!

Those XX and stuff weren't actually sent by Misaka Mikoto like that; rather, it was Inoue Eika's aversion to these kinds of words that created a misconception, making him unable to read them at all.

Holding his forehead, Inoue Hideka reluctantly dialed Misaka Mikoto's cell phone number.

beep……

Didn't I send you the results?

After the call connected, Misaka Mikoto spoke first.

"Ahem, well, anyway, if possible, please tell me the result directly and clearly."

Inoue Hideka was embarrassed, but there was no way he would ever say he couldn't understand what Misaka Mikoto wrote!

"Huh? I mean, you don't understand, do you?"

"Uh! Stop rambling! How could I not understand? It's just that time is a bit tight, yes, time is a bit tight, so let's get straight to the point!"

"Hmm... I still want to tease you, but as you said, time is tight, and explaining over the phone alone won't work. I don't know where you are right now, so it's too troublesome to explain. So, aren't you with Kuroko? If you're not good at this, just leave it to Kuroko. She'll definitely understand what I mean!"

Hearing Misaka Mikoto's words on the phone, Inoue Eika was extremely unwilling. He had been told it was no good just like that, and he couldn't refute it. He said "I understand" in a depressed tone and hung up the phone.

Then, she brought up the text message interface that Misaka Mikoto had sent her and handed the phone to Shirai Kuroko.

"Shirai, take a look at this, and then you can decide on your next move."

While speaking with frustration, Inoue Hideka was also relieved that he had brought Shirai Kuroko along.

Otherwise, even if Misaka Mikoto sent him these things, he wouldn't understand them.

The knowledge involved goes beyond the simple junior and senior high school level; there are much more profound things involved. It's quite embarrassing that Inoue Hideka, a former university student, is not even as good as Shirai Kuroko, a junior high school student.

Actually, bringing Misaka Mikoto directly might have been a good solution.

However, it's not as convenient for three people to move around.

"Honestly, you should have shown it to me sooner. You brought this on yourself by being disliked by your older sister, didn't you?"

While looking at the content on Inoue Hideka's phone, Shirai Kuroko said to Inoue Hideka with disdain.

"...Alright! Stop nagging, get it quickly, and then let's set off as fast as we can. We can just go and search along the places Misaka predicted, right?"

With her hand on the armrest of the seat and her chin propped up, Inoue Hideka turned her head away in a huff, refusing to look at Shirai Kuroko's disdainful expression, and urged her on.

"Um... although it's part of my job, you'd better get this straight... who is calling for help!"

With a pout and a dissatisfied grumbling, Shirai Kuroko reached out and pinched Inoue Hidekazu's ear, forcibly turning his face back to her.

"The pervert is gone!"

Saying this, and then—whoosh—

With her hand still twisted around Inoue Hideka's ear, she disappeared from the passenger plane.

Of course, it wasn't just Shirai Kuroko who disappeared; Inoue Eika had just opened her mouth to shout, but before the sound could even escape her lips, she too vanished.

Chapter 380 The Strange Woman!

At the same time.

Academy City, the home of Inoue Eika.

Misaka Mikoto sat on the edge of Inoue Hideka's bed, resting her chin on her hand on the table, and sighed helplessly.

He frowned as he looked at the manuscript paper that Inoue Hideka originally used to draw manga, which was spread on the table. It was covered with all sorts of formulas and some instruction diagrams that Inoue Hideka would never understand.

The spotless white kitten curled up and fell asleep next to the manuscript paper.

Ignoring the unusually well-behaved kitten, Misaka Mikoto shifted her gaze to the phone screen next to the manuscript paper, which displayed a call log with someone named 'Big Idiot'.

After staring at her phone for a while with a disgruntled expression, Misaka Mikoto pouted and muttered to herself:

"It's rare for someone to go through all that trouble typing these complicated words into their phone... Hmph! Idiot! What a waste of Misaka-sama's feelings! She can't even understand something this simple, what is this guy...?"

"Misaka-senpai, did you see the Last Order?"

Saten Ruiko leaned against the door, tilting her head to interrupt Misaka Mikoto's mutterings, and asked blankly.

"Huh? Isn't that kid home? I was helping that idiot the whole time and didn't notice. Did he go out with Accelerator?"

After Inoue Eika left, Accelerator and his two companions also left.

Misaka Mikoto originally wanted to go and take a look, but because of Inoue Hideka's request, and thinking that it might be difficult to make calculations outside, she stayed behind.

"Hmm...maybe! Last Order complained before that Accelerator didn't bring her along! But anyway, it's still early, it's not the time for the delinquents to be active yet, so it should be fine, right?"

Saten Ruiko frowned and thought for a moment, then asked uncertainly.

"Hmm... I'm a little worried, but if I'm too strict, the child might get upset, right?"

Misaka Mikoto was a little uneasy. After all, this city would never lack ruthless scientists, and who knew if one or two more lunatics would suddenly appear who wanted to experiment on her sister.

But Misaka Mikoto also knew that she shouldn't interfere too much in their lives.

Her ideal is for her sisters to be able to live normal lives.

Despite my concerns, the girls shouldn't live under my supervision.

This is Misaka Mikoto's idea, and her original intention will not change.

"Hmm... how about we wait a bit? If she doesn't come back after a while, we can go out and look for her again, okay?"

As if she could see through Misaka Mikoto's thoughts, Saten Ruiko tentatively offered what she considered to be reasonable suggestions.

"Alright then. Wait half an hour. If he's not back in half an hour, Saten, call Accelerator and ask if he's with the last..."

"Wait, Misaka-senpai!"

Saten Ruiko suddenly interrupted Misaka Mikoto in a hurry, then rushed to the living room, stood in front of the television, and stared intently at the screen.

The screen showed a female host, seemingly broadcasting live.

"One minute ago, all the guards on the outer wall suddenly and mysteriously fell unconscious. The specific cause is under further investigation..."

Then the TV screen switched to footage captured by surveillance cameras near the outer gate.

"An intruder has apparently entered Academy City... Oh, I see the footage..."

Zzzzz, zzzzz—

At this point, a burst of static came from the television, and the picture switched to a transitional scene amidst the noise.

There are generally two reasons for this situation:

One issue is poor signal, causing the video feed to stop.

But will Academy City, which is two or three decades ahead of the rest of the world, experience poor signal?

It's practically impossible.

The second issue was an abnormal situation that occurred at the scene where the live broadcast was being conducted.

Based on the broadcast content, it's clear that something went wrong during the live broadcast.

Misaka Mikoto saw Saten Ruiko rushing towards the living room and followed her out of Inoue Eika's room.

She roughly understood the basic situation; the Academy City nowadays was probably not as peaceful as Saten Ruiko had described.

"Saten..."

"Okay, I understand. I'll call Yifang right now and ask him if he's with Last Order."

Before Misaka Mikoto could finish speaking, Saten Ruiko already knew what to do. The most important thing now was to make sure the ten-year-old child was safe.

beep...beep...beep...

"what's up?"

The phone rang for a while before Accelerator's seemingly displeased voice came through the receiver.

"Um...Ichikata, is Last Order with you?"

Sensing that Accelerator didn't seem to be in a good mood, Saten Ruiko felt a little uneasy.

"Huh? You mean that brat ran out on his own?"

Hearing Saten Ruiko's words, Accelerator's mood worsened, and he said irritably.

"Well, she probably went out with you guys. It's partly one of our fault, really! Last Order likes you so much, why couldn't you take her with you!"
