The Legend of Level 0 in Academy City

Sitting peacefully at the dining table, watching Saten Ruiko busy herself, Inoue Eika suddenly felt that it wouldn't be bad to continue living like this.

"Tears, when are you going to introduce me to your family?"

"Huh?" Saten Ruiko stopped what she was doing in surprise upon hearing this.

"Isn't it too early?" Saten Ruiko said shyly, "Besides, leaving Academy City isn't easy, is it?"

"Yeah, that's true! It's not easy to see your family!"

Inoue Hideka thought about it and realized that it was indeed true; it was not easy for people from Academy City to leave or for outsiders to enter.

"Then let's wait until the Daihasei Festival."

Inoue Hideka made her decision on her own, completely ignoring the still shy Saten Ruiko.

"But, Eika, what if my family doesn't like you?" Saten Ruiko teased Inoue Eika after her initial embarrassment.

"If you can't satisfy my family, I might break up with you!" Saten Ruiko said with a playful smile, threatening Inoue Eika.

"Huh? Really?" Inoue Hideka exclaimed in surprise, "I'm very good! My appearance is also good, there's no reason for you to be dissatisfied, right?"

"Think about it, Yinghua! You're just an incapable person, and you don't have a good family background. You can't protect me, and you can't provide a secure future. Who would entrust their daughter to you?"

Saten Ruiko deliberately made a disgusted look on her face.

"Ah! Yes! What should we do!"

Inoue Hideka covered his head in distress.

He is indeed a powerless person with terrible combat abilities, and although drawing comics can make money, it is not a job that can give Saten Ruiko's family a sense of security.

"Hehe! Just kidding! My family members aren't that shallow!"

Seeing Inoue Eika suffer a setback, Saten Ruiko happily sat down next to Inoue Eika with a smile.

"I like Yinghua, and that's enough. My family will definitely accept Yinghua! Don't worry!"

Saten Ruiko grabbed Inoue Eika's hand and looked at her intently.

"Tears!" Inoue Eika exclaimed, a touch of emotion in her voice, "My girlfriend is you, that's wonderful!"

As Inoue Hideka spoke, he placed his hand on Saten Ruiko's shoulder and gently pulled her into his arms.

Saten Ruiko did not resist and fell into Inoue Eika's arms.

Neither of them spoke. Inoue Eika rested her chin on Saten Ruiko's hair, smelling the fragrance of Saten Ruiko's hair, and felt her whole body relax.

Saten Ruiko nestled against Inoue Hideka's chest. Although it wasn't particularly broad, and she was even a bit thin, she felt an unusual sense of security against it.

She knew that this man would protect her with his life.

Just like that time when she was bullied by the polarizing ability user, even just having her hair pulled was enough to make Inoue Hideka lose control of her emotions and go crazy.

Therefore, Saten Ruiko believed that Inoue Eika would risk her life to absolutely not allow anyone to touch a single hair on her head.

"Ah! The food is getting cold!"

After a long while, it was Inoue Hideka, being a foodie, who reacted first and shouted to remind Saten Ruiko.

Upon hearing this, Saten Ruiko also got up from Inoue Eika's lap and sat down opposite her, her face slightly flushed.

"It's all your fault! Hurry up and eat!"

Today, Saten Ruiko made two dishes and a soup: eggplant with soy sauce, shredded pork with celery, and seaweed and egg soup.

These are very simple Chinese home-style dishes, yet they exude a warm and cozy feeling.

Inoue Hideka had a strange feeling that he and Saten Ruiko had lived together for many years.

Everything is natural; no words are needed to understand each other's intentions.

After dinner, Inoue Hideka did not stay in Saten Ruiko's dormitory for long and returned to her dormitory alone.

He was also concerned about strengthening his body; the sooner he could complete the strengthening of his entire body, the better his chances of survival.

For now, it would be better to put aside the physical training we've been doing and switch to electrical stimulation.

So as soon as Inoue Hideka returned to his dormitory, he sat on his bed, closed his eyes, and began to quietly perform electrical amplification as if he were in deep meditation.

Inoue Hideka only fell asleep when her body's biological clock sent out warning signals of fatigue.

The time was around 9 a.m., and the location was at the entrance of Tokiwadai dormitory.

Inoue Hideka, along with Saten Ruiko and Uiharu Kazari, came to the Tokiwadai Summer Festival.

Inoue Hideka was quite looking forward to seeing Misaka Mikoto in her maid outfit.

Therefore, he couldn't hide the excitement on his face.

"It's been like this since the beginning, Yinghua, what are you so excited about?!"

Saten Ruiko said to Inoue Eika, who was smiling to herself but saying nothing, with dissatisfaction.

Chapter Sixty-Two: Is it a meeting of minds, or...?

"Huh? Really?" Inoue Hideka asked, feigning ignorance with an irrepressible smile.

“Yes! Don’t you think so, Haruhi?” Saten Ruiko frowned, sulking.

"Yeah, that's true. I also think Inoue-kun acted strangely today!"

"Um...it's really nothing! Okay, let's go, there will be more people soon."

After finishing her sentence, Inoue Hideka walked ahead, not giving Saten Ruiko a chance to continue asking questions.

Inside the Tokiwadai dormitory.

Misaka Mikoto, dressed in a maid outfit, stood in the aisle holding some pamphlets and handed them out one by one to passersby about the Tokiwadai Summer Festival.

Handing out the booklet again, Misaka Mikoto looked at her outfit and muttered to herself, "Actually, I didn't need to dress like this to receive guests! I'm going to get laughed at by that guy... Hmm... what should I do?"

Then he saw three boys passing by, so he quickly shook his head, banished the thoughts from his mind, and dutifully greeted the three of them, "Welcome! This is today's brochure."

The three boys saw Misaka Mikoto, turned around, walked up to her, took the booklet, and said while taking out their phones, "You're so cute! Can we take a picture?"

Upon hearing this, Misaka Mikoto gave an awkward and embarrassed smile, "I'm very sorry, but taking photos of boarding students is not allowed."

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a blinding flash in his eyes, and his smile immediately turned somewhat awkward. "I already said that photography is..."

Before he could finish speaking, another burst of flashing lights erupted, accompanied by that familiar, twisted voice: "Not bad!" "Good!" "Good!"

Misaka Mikoto looked toward the source of the sound and saw Shirai Kuroko taking pictures of her from all sorts of strange angles and poses with a camera.

"What's so good about it! Why are you taking pictures here!"

"Please don't misunderstand, Kuroko is the recorder of the Summer Festival today." Shirai Kuroko lay on the ground, took another picture with her camera, and said to Misaka Mikoto.

She then stood up and continued, "I'm taking reference photos here as a reference for next year's open day, but, dear sister..."

He glanced at the photos on the camera and said, "It's such a shame to wear shorts to such a grand event. At least wear women's shorts or something..."

Misaka Mikoto was about to get angry when she heard this. She was holding the booklet in her arms, her face was slightly red, and electricity was brewing in her hair.

"Bilibili~~" The electric current struck the camera in Shirai Kuroko's hand, destroying it. Only then did Misaka Mikoto angrily say:

"Hey Kuroko!" she said, grabbing Shirai Kuroko's face with both hands and pulling hard. "Can you tell me why they're using my photo for next year's open day?"

"Please forgive me, Onee-sama!" Shirai Kuroko said, seemingly in pain but actually enjoying it.

"Hello there!"

Inoue Hideka and his group arrived just then, witnessing Kuroko's perverted and reckless behavior in the time it took to get there.

Seeing this, Uiharu Kazari interrupted the two and greeted Misaka Mikoto.

"Crack!"

Misaka Mikoto heard Uiharu Kazari's voice and turned to look at the group, only to see Inoue Eika holding a phone and snapping a photo the instant she turned her head.

Randomly, with lightning speed, he stuffed the phone into Saten Ruiko's pocket.

"I'm telling you! You bastard!"

Misaka Mikoto was about to get angry, but her phone was with Saten Ruiko, so the most important thing was to delete her embarrassing photos first.

He then gently asked Saten Ruiko, "Saten, could you please hand over the phone in your pocket?"

"No way!" Saten Ruiko smiled gently and refused directly. Although she was very gentle, for some reason, she reminded people of a demon.

"Huh? Why?" Misaka Mikoto asked in surprise, not expecting Saten Ruiko to say that.

"Since I gave my phone to Misaka-senpai, she'll definitely delete the photos, right?" Saten Ruiko smiled gently as before.

“That’s right! After all, how could we leave such an embarrassing image in a photo!” Misaka Mikoto seemed not to understand the situation and explained matter-of-factly.

"But she's so cute, isn't she? Misaka-senpai in her maid outfit is just too adorable! Don't you think so, Eika?"

Saten Ruiko finally revealed her true colors, smiling mischievously at Misaka Mikoto, and then looking at Inoue Eika with an expression of agreement at the end.

"Yeah! Misaka-senpai looks so cute in her maid outfit, it's embarrassing, no, I mean, so adorable!"

Whew! I almost let it slip!

To Misaka Mikoto, Inoue Hideka looked like a demon at that moment, and since she was a demon, she had to be defeated!

Misaka Mikoto thought to herself, then...

"Bilibili~~Bilibili~~" With the high-power current output, Inoue Hideka instantly turned into an African.

Furthermore, Misaka Mikoto's electricity didn't just stop immediately; it seemed she was venting all the anger she couldn't direct at Saten Ruiko on Inoue Eika, continuously releasing electric current.

Of course, although Misaka Mikoto was angry, she was still very sensible. At least she wouldn't electrocute Inoue Eika. Well, at least!

While Misaka Mikoto and Inoue Eika were interacting, Shirai Kuroko quietly approached Saten Ruiko.

He tried to negotiate, saying, "Saten-kun, could you give me one of the photos when they're developed?"

Saten Ruiko's smile seemed etched onto her face; she remained gentle as she smiled and asked Shirai Kuroko:

"Sure! But what price are you willing to pay, Shirai-san?"

"Huh?" Upon hearing this, Shirai Kuroko's ingratiating smile froze instantly, and the thought flashed through her mind: "So Saten is indeed the biggest obstacle between me and my sister."

"What does Saten-san want?" Shirai Kuroko asked, forcing a smile.

"Hmm, let me think..." Saten Ruiko rested her chin on her hand, pondered for a moment, "How about Shirai-san makes a copy of the picture of Misaka-senpai that you had collected before, and gives it to me?"

"Impossible!" Shirai Kuroko exclaimed, her anger rising.
