The Legend of Level 0 in Academy City

After muttering to himself for a while, Inoue Hideka climbed up the toilet window. The window wasn't high, and Inoue Hideka was able to climb up easily given his height.

She nimbly jumped out of the window, looked around but didn't see Misaka Mikoto, and then quickly slipped away like a thief.

Hmm... It seems like we've almost run out of ingredients at Touma's house. I'll go to the supermarket to buy some more and then go to Touma's house for dinner.

With nothing to do and it already close to noon, his stomach started rumbling in protest. Since food is the most important thing for people, Inoue Hideka decided to take care of his stomach first.

"Ring~~ Ring~~"

Who will text me? It seems like only Mom knows my phone number. Hopefully, she won't break my bank card again.

When I checked my phone, it was a bank notification showing that 24 yen had been deposited into my bank account.

Wow, that's pretty efficient! The salary arrived at noon.

Since that's the case, let's celebrate today! Let's go to Touma's place for hot pot, and also to thank him for taking care of us these past few days.

"Knock knock knock! Touma, open the door!"

Inoue Hideka bought a lot of high-end ingredients, including lobster, beef, mutton, Chaoshan beef balls, crispy Wanyu fish slices, tripe, goose intestines, and so on.

As a representative of high technology, Academy City maintains close exchanges with the rest of the world. All sorts of things can be purchased in Academy City.

Of course, there are also some necessary vegetables, base sauce, and dipping sauce, since eating only meat seems to easily cause constipation.

Of course, good food is incomplete without good wine, so Inoue Hideka made a special trip to a convenience store with relatively lax management to buy some.

When the convenience store owner looked at Inoue Hideka suspiciously, Inoue Hideka smoothly made up a lie that "my older brother, who is in college, asked me to buy it for him." The convenience store owner then let him go without hesitation, after all, it would be a fool not to make money!

"Ah~~ It's Yinghua! Come in!"

They ate here every day. After Inoue Hideka and Kamijou Touma became familiar with each other, they started calling each other by their first names. As a native of China, Inoue Hideka was not used to calling others by their surnames.

"Well! Touma, you're in for a treat today!"

Inoue Hideka had a bright smile on her face, and she was quite looking forward to the hot pot that was about to be served.

Moving his gaze downwards, Touma Kamijou noticed a pile of things Inoue Eika was carrying, which he could vaguely make out looked like beef or something similar.

"Oh! Yinghua, did you win the lottery? Why are you being so generous today!"

Touma Kamijou remembered that this guy used to be so stingy and reluctant to buy anything.

"Well, let's just say that!" Too lazy to explain, Inoue Hideka simply said that.

Eating hot pot is the simplest thing; just wash the ingredients, boil the water, and add the ingredients.

The two sat on opposite sides of the table. Inoue Hideka took out two cans of beer from a black bag, placed one in front of Kamijou Touma, and then opened his own can.

To avoid being seen on the street and causing unnecessary misunderstandings, Inoue Hideka specifically asked the convenience store owner for an extra black bag to carry the beer.

"Wow! That's great!" After taking a big gulp, Inoue Hideka let out a satisfied sigh!

"Hey! Yinghua! Aren't you a minor? And I'm a minor too. Minors aren't allowed to drink alcohol, are they?"

Kamijou Touma stared in shock at Inoue Hideka and the beer in front of him, gesturing wildly and bewildered.

"Hey! Touma! Don't act like an old woman! Don't you know that beer is a man's romance?"

Ignoring Touma Kamijou's antics, Inoue Hideka drank her beer while flipping the meat in the pot, speaking in a matter-of-fact tone.

"Really? But I think I'd better not drink it. I've never drunk alcohol before..."

Touma Kamijou looked embarrassed, seemingly somewhat believing what Inoue Hidekazu said, and hesitated whether to drink it or not, judging from Inoue Hidekazu's expression that it tasted very good.

"Touma! Don't you understand? If you don't understand a man's romance, you'll never become a real man! Come on! Let's have a drink!"

With her silver tongue, Inoue Hideka attempted to lead the ignorant boy in a strange direction.

"Ha! Since that's the case, then we have no choice but to drink it!"

Don't let Kamijou's usually serious demeanor fool you; he's actually a secretly passionate guy who fantasizes about meeting a beautiful girl on a romantic afternoon.

Ignoring Inoue Hideka, who seemed to have forgotten something, Misaka Mikoto, who was still guarding the entrance to the men's restroom, let out a thunderous roar:

"That guy! Damn it! I never want to see you again!"

With so much time having passed and still not out, how could Misaka Mikoto, with her intelligence, not guess that Inoue Hideka must have escaped through some unknown channel, leaving her standing foolishly at the men's restroom entrance for so long!

Ugh! How embarrassing! How shameful! That guy is unforgivable!

Chapter 8 Opening of Zhachuan Middle School

Time is ruthless and never stops because of personal loss. Its slow, orderly, and compact progress has always been its posture.

The boring yet fulfilling daily routine continued: daily exercise, reading comics, occasionally going to Touma Kamijou's place for a free meal, and sometimes harassing a small group of delinquents in a quiet alleyway before running away under their resentful and unwilling gazes.

Inoue Hideka's life seemed to have developed a certain pattern.

It's worth mentioning that in the second week of the manga's serialization, after receiving her royalties, Inoue Hideka used the money to buy some exercise equipment. You can only say that having money is great.

However, he still only bought tools to increase his resistance to blows, which shows that he is quite persistent in this regard.

Another point is that, as his physical fitness gradually improved, Inoue Hideka also increased the intensity of his resistance training.

The direct result was that the dormitory had some additional necessities—various alcohol swabs and medications for stopping bleeding and reducing swelling from abrasions.

However, this routine is coming to an end today.

Today is the first day of school for Zhachuan Middle School.

For breakfast, Inoue Eika had a hamburger with Musashino milk. She strolled leisurely into the classroom of Class 3, Grade 1 before class.

According to the information on the school's display board, he was assigned to Class 3.

Because it was the first day of school, the students were all very excited and arrived very early. As soon as they entered the classroom, they were disturbed by the noisy commotion.

Looking around, the classroom was completely full; there seemed to be no empty seats left.

Subconsciously, I looked toward the well-known main character's seat, which was the second to last row on the left by the window.

There sat a girl with long, flowing black hair, wearing a five-petaled white plum blossom ornament in her hair. She turned her head and chatted happily with a girl sitting behind her, who was wearing a flower wreath in her hair and looked a little shy.

Are they Saten Ruiko and Uiharu Kazari?

Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed that the seat to the right of Shiori Haru seemed to be empty. I hadn't noticed it before because there were so many people and the seat wasn't very noticeable.

Shifting her attention away from Saten Ruiko and Uiharu Kazari, Inoue Eika walked straight towards the only remaining seat.

"Hey, hey! Chu Chun, did you know? The latest urban legend!"

I had barely sat down when I heard Saten Ruiko's excited voice. Wow! Ruiko is still so interested in these kinds of quirky news and gossip!

"No, I don't know..." Shiori Uiharu answered softly.

Perhaps because they had just met, Uiharu Kazari wasn't as outgoing as Saten Ruiko; she was rather shy and spoke very softly. If Inoue Eika hadn't been sitting right next to Uiharu Kazari, she felt she wouldn't have been able to hear her at all.

"It's 'Public Enemy Number One'! That's just a title. It's said that the real person behind this urban legend is a boy who specializes in harassing delinquents and causing them trouble, and is considered their number one enemy!"

Saten Ruiko had a proud expression on her face. She bought every issue of the gossip magazine "Uwasa Hana Senka Zarashistra" (translated as Zorastrast), and she had absolute confidence in her inside information.

"puff!"

Upon hearing Saten Ruiko's words, Inoue Eika, who had been pretending not to care and resting her chin on her left hand on the table, couldn't help but cover her mouth, trying her best not to let her laughter escape.

Although he tried his best not to attract attention, Inoue Eika was noticed by Saten Ruiko as soon as he entered the classroom, since he was the last one to step into the classroom and sat not far away from her.

"Hey? You're interested in urban legends too? I'm telling the truth! This person, 'Public Enemy Number One,' really exists!"

When Saten Ruiko heard Inoue Eika's sneer, she assumed that Inoue Eika was also interested in urban legends, and couldn't help but want to drag Inoue Eika into the discussion.

People with similar interests are always drawn to each other. For example, even if two people who like anime and manga are not good at communicating with others, they will talk endlessly about topics that interest them.

"No! I'm not interested in that~~"

Inoue Hideka was speechless. Who would be interested in their own legend?

Moreover, after just a few minor misdeeds, urban legends began to circulate. Inoue Hideka really wanted to meet this person who spread these urban legends and see what kind of amazing person he was, since most of these urban legends were actually true.

This includes urban legends about Touma, Misaka Mikoto, and Tsukuyomi Komoe, among others.

There are even unbelievable legends like "if you dial your own cell phone number at midnight, it will connect to someone else's cell phone" (the real name is Aleister).

Inoue Hideka seriously doubted that the person spreading the urban legend was Aleister himself, after all, apart from his Sky Loop, Inoue Hideka couldn't think of anyone else who would know so much about what was happening in Academy City.

Speaking of which, you seem to know so much about urban legends, but do you not know that you have Misaka Mikoto and Uiharu Kazari, the real-life counterparts of two urban legends, right beside you?

"Ah~~ Is that so?" Upon hearing Inoue Eika's words, Saten Ruiko immediately lost interest.

Just then, the school bell rang on time, and the homeroom teacher entered the classroom precisely as the bell rang.

The homeroom teacher standing on the podium was a young woman who looked to be in her early twenties.

His long black hair fell naturally to his waist, and he wore a pair of intelligent glasses on his nose. He wore a dark blue uniform and had a serious and cool expression. Even though he was just standing there quietly, his powerful aura instantly silenced the noisy classroom.

Despite her youthful appearance and beautiful features (except for her dull eyes), she gives the impression of a dignified and serious older woman.

Inoue Hideka couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. It seemed that this homeroom teacher was not easy to get along with. She must not provoke her!

Why is Touma so lucky? A legally cute loli like Tsukuyomi Komoe should be the best homeroom teacher! He's always surrounded by all sorts of adorable girls!

"Da, da,"

She skillfully picked up the chalk, ignoring the terrified expressions of the students in the classroom, and quickly wrote a few words on the blackboard—quite neat handwriting! Then she turned to the students below the platform and said:

"My name is Shinjuku Riekai, and I will be the homeroom teacher for Class 3, Grade 1 for the next year. So, let's start with self-introductions, you! Let's begin with you, one by one."

She pointed to the boy sitting in the first row on the far left, "Just briefly state your name, hobbies, and future aspirations. Now, let's begin!"

His serious expression remained completely unchanged throughout.

Even without any mention of discipline, I believe that students will strictly follow the instructions of their homeroom teacher during their time at school.

Yes, it's about acting according to the homeroom teacher's instructions, not according to the student code of conduct!

Under the powerful aura and dignified expression of Shinjuku Ciraka, even a Level 5 might not be able to muster any desire to resist.

The chuunibyou's speech in Chapter 9!

Under the watchful eyes of the students in Shinjuku, the student sitting in the first seat, despite feeling very nervous, stood up tremblingly and began to introduce himself.

"My name is Hua Zhongquchong, and my hobbies are..."

"My name is Wangchuan Qiuhe, and my dream is..."

. . . . . .

"My name is Saten Ruiko. My hobbies are urban legends and gossip, I enjoy shopping with my friends, and my dream is to have my own personal life! Well! Nice to meet you!"
