The Legend of Level 0 in Academy City

But in the mind of the person involved, Misaka Mikoto's matter was not Shirai Kuroko's concern.

Perhaps, just perhaps? Her sister has found her place, a home for her restless heart.

What about myself? Where should I go from here?

"Yes, thank you, Kuroko!" Misaka Mikoto seemed oblivious to the oddness in Shirai Kuroko's tone, replying as usual:

"Let Kuroko come first, just in case. Bring Haru along too, since nobody knows if those people from the council have gone offline or not. I'm worried Haru might be in danger. The address is the Advanced Equipment Research Institute in the 10th School District."

"Huh? Aren't you afraid your address will be exposed, big sister?"

"Don't worry, I've taken precautions against eavesdropping. They can't hear what I'm saying, and they won't know who you're talking to. But you still need to be careful when you come over, and don't get caught on camera."

"okay, I get it."

When Misaka Mikoto hung up the phone, Inoue Eika's call had already ended.

At the same time, Saten Ruiko put away her phone. She had just received a call from Frenda and, after the call ended, went online to check the news that was currently trending.

Saten Ruiko's complexion, like Misaka Mikoto's, was not very good.

Girls are naturally more susceptible to gore than boys.

Inoue Hideka didn't specifically investigate, but even so, it couldn't stop his anger.

Not only because she was slandered, but more importantly, because of the little girl whom the council used to accuse her!

Although it's still impossible to determine whether the little girl was alive or dead, but...

If the life is saved, it indicates that the council is playing with life.

If the person is dead, it proves that the council was toying with the deceased!

Regardless of the specific circumstances, any council that engages in such conduct absolutely deserves to be punished!

With a gloomy expression, Inoue Eika glanced at Misaka Mikoto and Saten Ruiko, whose faces were equally pale, and asked:

"If I said I was going to kill those bastards in the council, Ruiko and Mikoto, would you stop me?"

Both Saten Ruiko and Misaka Mikoto are kind girls, so it's practically impossible for them to kill someone willingly.

Even when only the two of them are present, Inoue Eika tries her best to restrain her urge to kill. In any case, Inoue Eika does not want to leave Saten Ruiko and Misaka Mikoto with the impression that 'my boyfriend is a murderer'.

But this time, Inoue Hideka was determined not to show any mercy to the board of directors, not to try to control or brainwash them, nor to imprison them for life out of womanly compassion.

Even if Saten Ruiko and Misaka Mikoto try to stop them, they are determined to kill them!

"Do you need my and Saten's permission to kill animals?"

Misaka Mikoto clenched her fists tightly on her thighs. Thinking of the photos she had just seen, the anger in her heart was almost bursting out uncontrollably.

“Yes! Misaka-senpai is right, they are no longer human!” Saten Ruiko nodded angrily, agreeing with Misaka Mikoto’s statement.

"How could such a thing happen? The council... is too cruel!" Fujiwara Masaga had just overheard several people's phone calls and learned about the whole incident through his own phone, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Well then, let's continue our previous topic." Living in darkness, Yun Chuanqin didn't react as strongly as the others when faced with such a situation. She spoke calmly, trying to pull them back from the impact of the photos.

"First, let's take stock of the currently available combat forces..."

Ring ring ring~~

The conversation was interrupted again by a phone ringing. Inoue Hideka gave Yunchuan Qinya an apologetic look and took out her own phone.

Almost simultaneously, Misaka Mikoto's phone rang.

Saten Ruiko stared at the blurry scene that had suddenly appeared in front of her, filled with surprise and doubt.

……

The person who called Inoue Hidekazu was the seventh Level 5 esper in Academy City, Kyokazu Gunha.

Misaka Mikoto received a call from Mitsuko after her marriage.

After the two connected on the phone, Saten Ruiko was thrilled as she watched the gradually clearing image of a girl with large-framed glasses and long black hair appear.

Chapter 434 The Counterattack Begins Here!

October 5th, that night.

Inoue Hideka and his group began their operation according to the plan set by Kumokawa Sera.

It is worth mentioning that, when Inoue Hideka remembered the actions of the dark organization 'Block' during this period in the original work, he asked Uiharu Kazari, who came to the research institute with Shirai Kuroko, to enter the network of Academy City to investigate the current actions of the existing dark organizations besides their own 'Group'—'Tools', 'Personnel', and 'Block'.

The actions of the 'props' and 'personnel' were not investigated.

Instead, they learned that, just like in the original work, after the ground antenna station for satellite communication was damaged, the 'block' contacted the mercenaries outside Academy City and planned to let 5000 mercenaries into Academy City during the 20-minute handover between the outer wall guard robots.

Their destination was the juvenile detention center in the 10th school district, or more specifically, the juvenile delinquents that Kihara Tsurugi was imprisoned there.

The members of 'Block' each have their own reasons for wanting to kill Aleister, the chairman of Academy City.

However, the windowless building stood like an insurmountable barrier in front of the 'block'.

So 'Block' set its sights on Kihara Tatsuki, who was acting as a guide, and planned to kidnap Kihara Tatsuki's companions who were being held in a juvenile detention center, in order to coerce Kihara Tatsuki into using her spatial abilities to send them to a windowless building.

Let's not even mention how naive it was that 'Block' was to prepare to destroy Aleister with multi-layered simultaneous bombs (which is not important and will not be explained here).

Inoue Hideka, using the excuse that she could use the 'block' to restrain some of Academy City's forces, went alone to the location of the 'block' to conduct an investigation.

He now possesses Misaki Shokuhou's abilities, so it's only natural that he could reveal the true purpose of "Block" once he meets them.

All this complicated operation has only one purpose—to achieve the goal of Kitekatsu!

To save her comrades, Kihara Tatsuki would do anything, including cooperating with Inoue Eika.

Kihara Ayaki is a space-type ability user, and her space abilities are even stronger than Shirai Kuroko's. In this incident, she will be of great use in both rescuing people and tracking down the council.

That's why Inoue Hideka went to great lengths to recruit Kihara Ayaki into his camp.

After making a show of secretly contacting members of the 'block', Inoue Eika informed Kihara Tatsuki of the news.

As expected, Kihara Tatsuki agreed to cooperate with Inoue Eika.

Inoue Hideka promised to rescue her companion.

At this moment, Inoue Hideka is on her way to the juvenile detention center.

From the memories of the 'block' members, Inoue Hideka learned that 5000 mercenaries were waiting outside the gates of Academy City, just waiting for the outer wall guard robots to hand over their shift.

Of course, Inoue Hideka was going to rescue Kihara Ayaki's companions at the juvenile detention center, and she wouldn't let the people from 'Block' interfere.

So Inoue Hideka casually threw a magnetic force at the outer wall guard robot, triggering the robot's alarm mechanism, and then ran away in a flash.

As for the fact that triggering the alarm would lead to patrols or even strafing by the unmanned helicopters known as 'Six Wings' stationed in the 23rd school district, that was not Inoue Hideka's concern.

As long as he can stall the 'block's' actions and prevent them from interfering with his rescue efforts, Inoue Eika doesn't care what those other people do.

However, since the 'Six Wings' were recruited before the mercenaries flooded into Academy City, those mercenaries shouldn't have suffered over 100 deaths before retreating, like in the original story, right?

They would probably be hesitant to enter Academy City again because they doubt the integrity of their partners.

In that case, without the help of mercenaries capable of resisting the interference of the reformatory's ability, the people in 'Block' should not act rashly for the time being.

Meanwhile, Kihara Tsurugi has formed a cooperative relationship with Inoue Hidekazu, and together with Accord, they go to the administration building of the First School District to rescue Osaka and Kaizumi Tsutomu based on information from Kumokawa Sera.

……

……

The night is deep.

When Inoue Hideka arrived at the juvenile detention center, Academy City was already brightly lit, with lights on in dormitories and other inhabited areas.

Shoban Gunba, who had arranged to act together with Inoue Eika, stood idly under the streetlight with his arms crossed, waiting.

Even on this slightly chilly October night, he was still wearing a short-sleeved shirt, exposing half of his arm, with only a jacket draped over his shoulders.

Although Slicer Junba is a Level 5 esper, he is a Primal Stone, and the largest Primal Stone in the world. The AIM jammer at the juvenile detention center has no effect on Slicer Junba.

Even so, Inoue Hideka did not believe that he could not handle the defenses in the juvenile detention center, even without relying on the shakuban military tyrant.

He uses Misaki Shokuhou's mental control abilities by relying on an external brain, a power transferred from outside, not an ability he possesses himself.

To interfere with Inoue Hideka's abilities, one must target his external brain; ordinary ability-degrading devices or jammers will have no effect on him.

Moreover, even if his ability to control his mind is limited, he still has artificial magnetic fields at his disposal.

Artificial magnetic fields do not fall under the category of capabilities, but rather belong to armed forces, like handguns.

It's fair to say that the equipment developed by Academy City to suppress the rampage of Devil Fruit users is completely useless against Inoue Eika, who is essentially a Devil Fruit user.

Unless he actively uses his inherent electrical abilities.

Unfortunately, before leaving the research institute, Inoue Eika had already asked Kamijou Touma, who had arrived at the institute with Index, to touch his body and eliminate all the electrical current that was originally stored in his body.

The reason for bringing along the board-cutting army was simply to prevent the council from sending people to cause trouble if they discovered our whereabouts.

Thinking silently about what had happened that afternoon, Inoue Hideka stepped forward and greeted Shoka Gunha with a smile:

"Hey! Sorry to keep you waiting!"

"Well! Now it should be time for a big push, right? It's time to show them what real men are made of! Roar!"

When Xiaoban Junba saw Inoue Yinghua, his eyes lit up, and the undisguised fighting spirit in his eyes seemed ready to burst forth at any moment.

"Forehead!"

Just as I expected.

The thought that if this hot-blooded idiot wasn't given a chance to perform, he definitely wouldn't give up, gave Inoue Hideka a headache.

"Okay, let's go!"

Nodding helplessly, Inoue Hideka placed one hand on her forehead and led the way.

Less than 50 meters ahead, there is a wall nearly 15 meters high. Behind the wall is the Juvenile Detention Center, which most of the ability users in Academy City keep at a distance.

Below the wall, the interrogation door, almost embedded in the door, was tightly closed. Inoue Eika and Shibata Gunba approached, and were immediately greeted by the stench of smoke leaking through the crack in the door.

However, contrary to the smell of smoke, the door was clean and tidy, as if it had just been replaced.

Ignoring these troubling things, Inoue Hideka stood sideways outside the wall, calmly sensing the situation inside.

Behind the door, there were three people, presumably guards assigned to watch over the gate.

Generally, only one person is needed to guard the gate, since the gate is usually kept closed all year round. It is rarely opened unless there is a situation where prisoners are detained or released.
