The Legend of Level 0 in Academy City

In contrast, Misaka Mikoto was surrounded by a burst of lightning, with intense white light and blue arcs of electricity intertwining and swirling around her.

It looks like it's storing electricity.

This momentum lasted for a while.

Frenda's face turned pale as she stared at Misaka Mikoto, who appeared like Thor descending from the blue and white light, beads of cold sweat trickling down her cheeks to the ground.

isn't it?

Is this guy serious?

No, no, I can't! I can't die here!

"Wait a moment……"

After a moment's thought, Frenda decided to beg for mercy.

But Misaka Mikoto didn't give her a chance.

Suddenly, a beam of light extended from the lightning in her bangs, carrying immense momentum as it shot towards Frenda at the speed of light!

------

Hearing the frantic screams behind her, Saten Ruiko ran out of the underground mall in one breath.

Even after that, they didn't stop and continued to use their abilities to run quickly ahead.

Every now and then, she would turn around and give Mugino Shizuri a mocking and funny look, sticking out her tongue and pulling her eyes wide as she shouted, "Auntie, auntie, auntie! No matter how many times I say it, you're still an auntie!"

"Aaaaaah! You brat!!! You better stop right there! I'll skin you alive today!!"

"See? She's even calling herself 'Old Lady'! She really is an old woman who's been around for ages!"

……

……

Similar conversations continued between the two, one running and the other chasing.

After running out of the underground shopping mall, Saten Ruiko ran westward along the southern part of the 7th School District and entered the 15th School District, which is adjacent to the 7th School District.

Because the two were moving very fast and the distance wasn't particularly far, it didn't take too long.

Mugino Shizuri was in a fit of rage and had no time to calm down and consider whether there was some kind of conspiracy involved.

This continued until the two entered a street in the 15th school district.

There seems to be a battle ahead.

A thick cloud of smoke obscured the scene inside, but this did not prevent the two from seeing things outside the smoke.

When they were less than 100 meters away, Saten Ruiko and Mugino Shizuri simultaneously saw the petite figure staring nervously into the smoke.

It's Frenda.

Mugino Shizuri frowned slightly.

She doesn't want to see this former subordinate now.

After that incident, Mugino Shizuri learned from Takitsubo Riko and Kinuhata Saiai that after he fell into a coma, Frenda left heartbroken.

Moreover, when she woke up, she found that she was wearing Frenda's coat on her body, which was so tattered that it barely covered her private parts.

This made Mugino Shizuri very uncomfortable.

She didn't know what emotion it was, but she knew she didn't like that feeling. It was like being rejected and having a mouthful of food thrown at you, but she also knew that the other person wasn't rejecting you out of disgust, but genuinely wanted to help you.

It seems a bit contradictory, but Mugino Shizuri doesn't know how to describe it specifically.

Anyway, I hate it, I hate it so much, I hate it to the point that I never want to experience that feeling again!

Now, seeing familiar faces ahead, the bad mood she had finally managed to suppress resurfaced in her heart.

"Tsk!"

With resentment in her eyes, Mugino Shizuri glared fiercely at Saten Ruiko in front of her, stopped in her tracks, her eyes filled with struggle, hesitated for a moment, and then turned to walk back.

At this moment, however, a change occurred within the smoke.

Large bursts of lightning erupted from the smoke, their power palpable even from Mugino Shizuri's distance, accompanied by a constant hissing and crackling sound emanating from within.

It seems to be gathering strength.

Moreover, as far as Mugino Shizuri knows, there is only one person in the entire Academy City who possesses this level of electric shock power!

The one ranked ahead of her is Misaka Mikoto from A Certain Scientific Railgun!

In other words, the person inside is a Railgun?

Could it be that Frenda is fighting the Railgun again?

This power... it'll probably crush that stupid traitor into dust, right?

While still thinking this, Mugino Shizuri found himself standing in front of Frenda.

Without her conscious awareness, her body reacted on its own—exploding atomic fragments to the maximum extent and propelling her body toward Frenda's location at top speed.

------

Frenda felt utterly hopeless.

I shouldn't have been so reckless and provoked Misaka Mikoto.

But who knew that this time that guy would do something completely different from usual!

Judging from how easily fooled he seemed last time, he didn't seem like a decisive and ruthless person. Why did he unleash such a powerful attack on me so decisively this time?

Seeing the light lance that suddenly extended out and was fired at her, Frenda was utterly desperate.

In the end, is this how I'm going to die?

The apology I've been waiting for... from Mugino Shizuri hasn't come yet, my little sister hasn't grown up yet, and I haven't been able to give her any of the birthday presents I prepared. Am I going to die here?

……

……

Zzz~~

Bilibili~~

It was probably after seeing the light gun that Frenda saw the 0.000... exactly how many zeros, she wasn't sure, but almost simultaneously with seeing the light gun, Frenda felt a figure suddenly block her way.

Then, the light gun aimed at itself deflected... no, to be more precise, it was interfered with by some substance and forced to change direction.

Frenda, feeling as if she had just wandered between heaven and hell, stared blankly at the familiar figure blocking her way.

She had flowing, long, light brown hair, and her tall figure was tightly wrapped in a brown trench coat.

Frenda recognized the person blocking her way just by looking at their back.

Mugino Shenli.

It can't be wrong.

The leader he once worshipped so fervently, who had tried to kill him—Mugino Shizuri—was now standing in front of him, thwarting the attack from Misaka Mikoto that had nearly driven him to despair.

The disappointment and dissatisfaction she had felt towards Mugino Shizuri vanished instantly, and her former admiration for her returned to Frenda's heart.

Ignoring the imminent threat, Frenda, having survived the ordeal, immediately threw herself onto Mugino Shizuri's back.

"Mugino!!!"

A strange sense of security.

The sense of security that came from the title of the fourth atomic collapse and from witnessing Mugino Shizuri's strength firsthand during her missions spread through Flanda's heart.

In her opinion, with Mugino around, no enemy is a problem, not even a Railgun.

Clinging to Mugino Shizuri's waist, Frenda sobbed and cried out:

"Mugino! I almost died! Thank goodness you came! Waaah~~ Mugino~~"

"Tsk! Disgusting! Let me go! Frenda!"

Mugino Shizuri frowned, grabbed Frenda's hands that were wrapped around her waist, and threw her off, saying with disdain:

"This is my brand new trench coat, I just bought it! Can you afford to pay for it if you get it dirty?!"

"Pfft!"

"puff!"

An unusually discordant sneer rang out.

It was only then that Mugino Shizuri remembered that she had been following Saten Ruiko.

Frenda also turned her head towards Misaka Mikoto, who had just launched a super-powerful attack to kill her.

Both of them covered their mouths and chuckled.

"Cough cough!"

Noticing the gazes directed at her, Saten Ruiko coughed awkwardly twice, then smiled and said to Frenda and Mugino Shizuri:

"Well then, congratulations on your reconciliation!"

Chapter 396 Thanks

Inside a family restaurant in front of the train station in School District 7.

After Inoue Hideka sat down, she called over a waiter, ordered herself a glass of grape juice, and then asked the frail-looking girl sitting opposite her:

"Um... what would you like to drink?"

"Hmm... orange juice is fine, thank you."

The girl responded timidly but politely.

"Um... okay."

After saying this to the girl with a helpless expression, Inoue Hideka turned to the waiter and said:

"One glass of grape juice and one glass of orange juice, please. We'll order the rest later. Thank you."
