The Legend of Level 0 in Academy City

On the right hand of a boy named Kamisato Shōrū.

Among the conditions for activating power, the most important one is called 'repetition of desire'. As long as the person's mind does not waver and stick to a single path, the ideal farewell will respond to everything related to that person.

Because those who simultaneously harbor opposing desires for everything are often clinging to the world while also harboring a desire for self-destruction, making them easy targets for exploitation.

Conversely, for those who are always steadfast in their goals and never waver, no matter what they do, the power of 'exile' cannot be made effective.

The targets of this attack are not limited to humans, but also include demons and gods.

In this way...

A crucial step in implementing the Aleister Plan is to eliminate all demons, which will allow the plan to proceed.

Then Aleister blasted open the Hidden World, creating a breach in it.

The demons all rushed out from inside.

Aleister orchestrated a conflict between the demons and Kamisato Shōryū, sending the demons one by one to a secluded world—except for Othinus.

Othinus was not actually under the influence of the fairy sorcerer before.

Instead, it was a pre-arranged performance by Right Flame, who also harbored the ideal of saving the world, and the kind-hearted O'Reilly.

Because, even after eliminating the threat of the demon god, there is another threat in this world.

For example, the former leaders of the Golden Dawn who are hidden underground, and the demon that possesses Laura Stuart.

These problems could be solved simply by Othinus, the demon god, moving his fingers.

Aleister's plan continues, and the last Demon God, Othinus, still exists in this world.

Of course, Othinus absolutely did not want to be banished to the new world by her ideals, but she also had other ways to eliminate her own demonic power.

She can transform back into a human if she retrieves her right eye, which was used as a sacrifice during the ritual to become a demon.

Thus, after the last demon, Othinus, disappeared, Aleister's plan finally reached its final step—transferring the power of Touma Kamijou's right hand to a specific location in Academy City, which served as the ritual site, that Aleister had pre-arranged.

Then, together with the Misaka Sisters who were wandering all over the world, they launched an artificial heaven that included the entire world!

At the same time, the entire magic side trembled.

Countless magicians have discovered that whenever they use magic, their bodies are damaged, ranging from ruptured blood vessels to internal organ damage.

The magicians were filled with panic, not knowing what had happened. Fortunately, after discovering that the root cause of their injuries lay in the act of using magic itself, they all stopped using magic.

Shortly thereafter, Aleister also conveyed the concept of 'phase friction' to magicians around the world.

Phase friction refers to the phenomenon where a magician's use of magic can randomly and negatively affect the fate of certain individuals.

However, after the artificial heavens descended, all the negative effects caused by magic were applied to the users themselves, resulting in the situation where using magic would cause harm.

Magic has not truly disappeared.

However, due to the side effects, fewer and fewer people will use it in the future. It is also uncertain whether anyone will risk passing on the magic to future generations after realizing the harm it causes.

Therefore, it is conceivable that magic will become increasingly rare and eventually disappear from this world.

The problem with magic has been solved.

Then comes the question of superpowers.

After the artificial celestial realm descended, those with superpowers were not affected.

Although superpowered individuals, like magicians, fall under the category of superpowers, using superpowers does not cause phase friction.

This is why people with superpowers cannot use magic.

In essence, although most superpowers are developed in Academy City through brain stimulation, superpowers are also a kind of talent.

Magic was invented long ago by people who had no talent, so that others who had no talent could use it.

While superpowered individuals, being gifted, would suffer backlash from using magic, they would naturally not be affected by the completion of the artificial celestial realm.

However, for the sake of world stability, Academy City has further restricted the movement of people with superpowers, and has formulated a comprehensive set of laws that are exclusive to Academy City, which are extremely restrictive but relatively free internally.

With this, the world finally calmed down, and Inoue Hideka's vision of peace was fulfilled.

Inoue Hideka helped Aleister complete his plan not only because he wanted magic to disappear, but also because Aleister would not give up until his plan was completed.

Instead of constantly worrying about when an old fox will unleash his ultimate move and cause chaos in the world, it's better to help him with a plan that you don't oppose.

That's what Inoue Hideka thought.

At the same time, Inoue Hideka also gained a powerful backup as a guarantee of survival, killing three birds with one stone. This can be said to be the wisest choice Inoue Hideka made after his mind was honed to the extreme.

……

Academy City, District 7.

The moment the artificial celestial realm was completed, Inoue Hideka stood by her window, gazing at the night sky of Academy City, a genuine smile on her face, and sighed with relief:

So, now, we can finally enjoy something we've been waiting for in this other world, right?

Chapter 508 Time Flies Like the Wind

Time is one of the fairest things in the world.

Time, flowing along the long river of time, never pauses even for a moment because of any person or thing.

She maintained her own style and rhythm, moving forward step by step.

Six years have passed in the blink of an eye, both slowly and quickly.

Today, Academy City has become one of the most unique cities in the world.

She has her own rules and a lifestyle different from the outside world. There is also a group of people living in her community that are fundamentally different from the outside world.

Even those who are level 0 and have no special abilities, because they have undergone brain development, would definitely be among the most outstanding individuals in the outside world.

Their computing power is different from that of ordinary people.

Simply put, if it takes an ordinary person one minute to calculate the answer to the same math problem, it will definitely take less than one minute for people in Academy City, and high-level ability users may even be able to calculate the answer in an instant.

Transcendence is the best description of Academy City.

This has led to Academy City becoming what it is today, forced to close itself off and minimize contact with the outside world.

Academy City is basically self-sufficient and rarely engages in commercial trade or other interactions with the outside world.

Apart from certain specific items that Academy City cannot produce and which are traded in small quantities, a complete cycle system has been formed within Academy City.

Of course, the same applies to management.

Academy City is very lenient towards its residents, including students, teachers, and researchers, who can live freely as long as they do not violate basic bottom lines, the council will never interfere.

For example, Touma Kamijou, who is already in college, has two adult women in his house at the same time—Index and Othinus. Not only does the council not question this at all, but those around him who know about it also do not look at Touma Kamijou with condemnation.

Because, according to the current laws of Academy City, there is no mandatory requirement to implement the same 'monogamy' system as outside the city, and the majority of the people in Academy City are young people who are students, who have relatively open-minded views on marriage.

Touma Kamijou is still living in the house that Inoue Hideka gave him six years ago, which means that he and Inoue Hideka are still neighbors.

Having lost their demon powers, Othinus and Index obtained legal status in Academy City and went to the university where Touma Kamijou was to accompany him.

However, another person closely related to Touma Kamijou—Misaki Shokuhou—did not choose to move in.

It wasn't because there wasn't enough room, but because six years had passed and Misaki Shokuhou still couldn't face Touma Kamijou's neighbor, Eika Inoue.

During her six years living together, Misaki Shokuhou rarely had contact with Eika Inoue.

Even if they occasionally bump into each other, they will leave as soon as possible with various excuses.

This was a major headache for both Touma Kamijou and Hideka Inoue.

Touma Kamijou had tried to persuade Misaki Shokuhou, but each time, he couldn't bring himself to say it because of the guilt he felt towards Misaki Shokuhou and Eika Inoue.

Inoue Hideka simply couldn't find an opportunity to be alone with Shokuhou Misaki, so naturally, she couldn't persuade her.

The effects of the Academy City policy opening are not limited to Touma Kamijou's situation.

Give another example.

After years of hard work, Misaka Hakuko finally gained Shirai Kuroko's approval.

Although Shirai Kuroko is still in university, the two of them still managed to raise money to buy an apartment in the 8th school district and live a sweet, innocent life together.

The same applies to Accelerator and Last Order.

The two moved out of Inoue Hideka's house and bought an exceptionally luxurious two-story villa in a nearby residential area.

Six years have passed, and the final piece has grown into a graceful young woman, but her playful spirit remains.

Because Accelerator had to go to school and couldn't be with Last Order all the time, he spent a huge amount of his savings to buy all sorts of toys and equipment and put them in the villa for Last Order to play with.

Of course, play equipment is not limited to children's toys. There are also various musical instruments, painting tools, sports building materials and so on. Accelerator bought everything that could help him pass the time in Last Order.

In addition, three years after the artificial heaven descended, Fujiwara Masaya and Yuriko Shigefuku Shoho got married.

The two were originally the same age, and now they have both been admitted to the same university.

After being won over by Fujiwara Masakazu, Shigefuku Shoho changed her previous indifferent attitude and became very affectionate towards Fujiwara Masakazu every day.

Fujiwara Masaya cherishes his girlfriend, whom he pursued for three years before finally changing his sexual orientation and winning her over. He tries every day to make Shigefuku Shoho happy.

After starting university, Chu Chun Shili chose photography as her major, determined to become a photographer who records all the beauty in the world after graduation.

As for the four members of the "New Moon" group whom Inoue Hideka knew, in the current Academy City, where the system is both rigorous and free, and increasingly peaceful, they have also left the Dark Side and found jobs they love, living freely.

There's a saying that familiarity breeds affection. The four members of "New Moon" have worked together for so long that they've developed an inseparable bond. Naturally, they've paired up and spend every day together.

In short, while striving to improve their abilities, most students in Academy City also lead a busy but not unpleasant life.

It is worth mentioning that, due to Academy City's policies, many students who have grown up choose to find partners who are also students from Academy City and settle down there. As a result, Academy City has been expanded repeatedly and is now more than twice its original size.

It was a Saturday morning.

Inside a luxurious villa in the 7th District of Academy City.

After breakfast, Accelerator finished clearing away the dishes, took off his apron, and said to Last Order, who was sitting in the living room watching the morning entertainment program with boredom:

"That guy is having a public performance at school today, remember?"

"Huh?" Last Order had obviously forgotten, and after a moment of surprise, she immediately stood up from the sofa: "Wow! Why didn't you say something so important sooner!" Misaka Misaka expressed her dissatisfaction.

The final work, six years later, is no longer the little thing it used to be.

Wearing a pink nightgown, she had a well-proportioned figure and was about 165 cm tall. Although her breasts were not particularly large, the subtle bulges that appeared as she moved still drew the attention of Accelerator.
