The Legend of Level 0 in Academy City

With a cold snort, Accelerator impatiently walked out of the parking lot.

He wasn't someone who enjoyed killing. If Inoue Eika were here, he wouldn't mind teaching Inoue Eika a lesson, and he wouldn't even blink if he were to kill him.

But Accelerator doesn't really have the time or inclination to go through all that trouble to chase after a coward who he has little interest in and who only knows how to run away.

After driving his motorcycle for more than ten kilometers without seeing the white-haired figure chasing after him, Inoue Hideka finally stopped the motorcycle in a dark alley.

Put 9984 down. At this moment, 9984's back was a bloody mess, still bleeding, and after this lightning-fast run, he had already passed out.

Ignoring the throbbing pain in her back and her numb hands, Inoue Hideka trembled as she took out her phone and dialed Shokuhou Misaki's number again.

"I advise you to treat your wound first..."

The call was answered as soon as I dialed it, as if I had been holding the phone and waiting for it.

Before Inoue Eika could say anything, she heard Shokuhou Misaki's calm voice coming from the phone.

Misaki Shokuhou was standing in front of the computer, looking at Inoue Eika on the screen.

Immediately after receiving Inoue Hidekazu's first phone call, Shokuhou Misaki had her subordinates hack into Academy City's network and retrieve surveillance footage from the vicinity of the experiment site.

She kept watching the surveillance footage. If Inoue Eika failed to save her sister and died at Accelerator's hands, she would collect Inoue Eika's body.

Then he took matters into his own hands and continued to stop the experiment.

I would give my life for this...

"Hmm?" Inoue Hideka murmured in confusion, then continued, "No need, just send someone over immediately. 9984 is seriously injured."

“I’ve already arranged for someone in the Ninth School District; they should be there soon. But you…”

Misaki Shokuhou paused here, then for some reason stopped herself from speaking, and continued in a gloating tone:

"Hehe~~ If you die, I'll collect your corpse~~"

"Then I really need to thank my senior properly~~ Hehe!"

Inoue Hideka gave a self-deprecating laugh.

There are still seven experiments left, but I've already used up almost all of my methods.

The same method can't be used twice, and Accelerator's vigilance will only increase, making it harder and harder to take the sisters away. Perhaps...

I really might die today!

Saten Ruiko carried the black cat and Misaka Dori back to the dormitory. If she wanted to adopt the black cat, she obviously couldn't go to the 21st school district anymore.

On her way back to the dormitory, Saten Ruiko stopped at a pet store and bought some necessities for keeping cats indoors, such as cat food, cat litter, and a litter box.

Saten Ruiko placed the black cat on the cushion, and watching Misaka Dori busily preparing a toilet for the cat, she smiled and said:

"Misaka-san seems to really like kittens!"

Misaka Dori stopped what she was doing, her expressionless face showing a hint of envy as she looked at the black cat nestled next to Saten Ruiko.

"Misaka thought this creature was cute, but the electromagnetic aura emanating from Misaka kept it away. 'Do,' Misaka said, trying to look sad and unwilling to give up."

"Hehe~~" Upon hearing this, Saten Ruiko chuckled, grabbed the little black cat from the cushion, and threw it at Misaka Dori.

The black cat traced a black parabola through the air and landed precisely where Misaka Dori was.

In a panic, Misaka Dori used the black cat as a crutch and hugged it tightly.

Perhaps sensing that Misaka Dori meant no harm, or perhaps having grown accustomed to the electromagnetic waves emanating from Misaka Dori over this period of time, the black cat did not immediately flee.

Instead, she shifted into a comfortable position in Misaka Dori's arms, lay there, and seemed to enjoy it, letting out a soft moan.

"Meow~~"

“Hmm…” Misaka Dori stared blankly at the black cat lying obediently in her arms.

"Hehe! It must have felt Misaka-san's care to be willing to approach you!"

"Feel my care? Can an animal feel care?" Misaka asked doubtfully.

"Of course! Both humans and animals have feelings; the only difference is that humans are better at expressing their feelings."

"Does Misaka have feelings too? Do," Misaka was confused by Saten-san's words.

"What are you talking about, Misaka-san? Isn't this just common sense?"

Saten Ruiko felt quite strange when she heard Misaka Dori's words; it was strange that someone would ask her if she could have feelings.

However, Saten Ruiko was unaware that in the hearts of the Misaka Sisters, they were merely experimental animals, not human beings.

Hearing Saten Ruiko say that animals also have feelings made her wonder if she herself could have feelings.

"Also, could you please stop calling me Saten-san, Misaka-san?"

Saten Ruiko said with distress, "I'm just a 13-year-old middle school student, and it feels really strange to be called 'Miss'."

"You can just call me Saten or Saten-kun, but please don't use any adult terms like 'Miss' to address me, please~~"

Saten Ruiko said, clasping her hands together and looking at Misaka Dori with a pleading expression.

----------

The third experiment was conducted in the seventh school district. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Inoue Hideka returned to her dormitory to do a simple bandage on her back, and took out a large amount of gauze and medicine, as well as a few changes of clothes.

There might not be time to go back to the dorm to treat the wound afterward, so if there's a chance, treat the wound outside.

Inoue Hideka stuffed the clothes and medicine into her backpack, thinking to herself.

He didn't want anyone to see him covered in blood running through the streets, otherwise the disciplinary committee or security guards would be calling him in for questioning.

At 11:32 a.m., in a secluded, dark alley in the Seventh School District.

When Inoue Eika arrived, Accelerator was talking to 9985 in a dark alley. Because she was standing outside the alley and quite far away, she couldn't hear their conversation clearly.

Accelerator and 9985 stand on either side of the dark alley, while Inoue Eika is standing on the side closer to Accelerator.

I checked my phone; there were still two minutes before the experiment started.

Inoue Hideka took out a stun gun and hit his legs before rushing into the dark alley.

The speed was extremely fast. By the time Accelerator sensed someone behind him, Inoue Hideka had already rushed past him and was running towards where 9985 was.

Accelerator quickly tapped the ground with his right foot, and the ground immediately distorted as if it were boiling water.

Inoue Hideka felt the ground undulating and was about to jump away when she was suddenly lifted into the air by the ground that shot up high.

"Oh!"

Before Inoue Hideka could even adjust her body while she was in mid-air, she was knocked away by the trash cans that followed.

"Tsk!"

The trash can hit his left shoulder, and Inoue Hideka felt a sharp pain as if his shoulder had broken, causing him to click his tongue in exasperation.

Getting up from the ground, Inoue Eika quickly ran towards 9985.

Although a shoulder injury can affect balance, fortunately, there was no leg injury, so the impact is not particularly significant.

Pulling up 9985 who was standing quietly there, Inoue Eika ran out of the alley.

"Oh!"

Another wave of pain shot through his back, and Inoue Hideka flew out along with 9985.

Frowning, Inoue Hideka tried to ignore the pain in her back, got up from the ground, and pulled 9985 to continue running outside.

At this point, the results of Inoue Hidekazu's training over the past six months finally became apparent.

Just like the goal he set for himself from the very beginning.

First, you need to be durable, and then you need to be able to run.

I was being hit while running away. You hit me twice, but it didn't affect my speed at all.

He endured being pounded by iron sandbags weighing several hundred kilograms every day for nearly half a year, and his body had long since become accustomed to the pain.

Therefore, Inoue Hideka's body is now very resilient, although Accelerator's attacks hurt much more than being hit by the iron mesh bag.

But Inoue Hideka's endurance was also honed through the daily blows.

And so, while being attacked by Accelerator all the way, Inoue Hideka ran for more than 300 meters.

"Tch! How boring!"

Accelerator, watching Inoue Hideka who had only ever tried to run away from the beginning of the experiment but had never fought back, finally lost his patience, pursed his lips, and turned to walk towards the nearby convenience store.

Chapter 86 Individual Actions (Part 4)

"Misaka doesn't understand why, even though it's one of this creature's favorite foods, it would abandon the cat food Misaka gave it and be so interested in the fish Saten made. Do," Misaka asked, puzzled.

"Well... I guess this cat probably prefers fish more?"

The black cat made a whimpering sound as it quickly devoured the fish in the lunchbox.

Saten Ruiko gently stroked the black cat's head with her hand. When she heard Misaka Dori's question, she put her hand on her own head and scratched it a few times in distress before speaking.

Although Misaka Dori finally stopped calling her Saten-san after her repeated requests, dealing with the various questions that Misaka Dori raised, which seemed like common sense but were actually quite troublesome to explain, still gave her a huge headache.

“'This' cat? Do,” Misaka keenly caught the key word and raised her own question.

"Yes! Cats, like people, have their own personalities. They also have their own likes and dislikes. For example, this cat likes to eat cooked fish, while another cat might prefer cat food."

Saten Ruiko felt that Misaka Dori was like a curious child who had never seen the world, who knew nothing about anything and was curious about everything.

Although I know a lot of knowledge, it feels like it's all standard answers found online, and I have no understanding of certain details in the real world.

So he patiently helped Misaka Dori resolve her doubts one by one.

"My own personality... What kind of personality does Misaka have? Do," Misaka looked at Saten with an expectant expression.

"Huh? Hehe~~"

Upon hearing such an unexpected question, Saten Ruiko stopped adding fish to the black cat and gave an awkward laugh.

"Well... how should I put it?"

It's been less than 5 hours since we met, and it's hard to say what Saten Ruiko thinks of Misaka Dori's personality.

Does that mean I should always have a blank expression?
