The Legend of Level 0 in Academy City

Because regardless of whether they are alive or not, if they do not escape, death will be inevitable.

Despite her concerns about 10031, Inoue Hideka made the right choice immediately.

"boom!"

The large metal block flying from a distance collided with the trash can controlled by Accelerator once again.

Taking advantage of this moment, Inoue Hideka led 10031 to the end of the alley.

In the shadow of a building about one kilometer away from the dark alley, in a place where the streetlights cannot reach.

A slender, blonde girl with unusually large breasts, wearing the Tokiwadai school uniform, is leaning against the wall of a building with her arms crossed. She is supporting herself on one leg and has all her weight on her back, giving her a languid beauty.

The girl's eyes were slightly closed, and because of the shadow of the building, her shadow and the expression on her face could not be seen.

One could only sense a deep weariness emanating from the soul beneath the girl's casual movements.

--------

Inside a building without windows.

A clear, ethereal voice suddenly rang out in the silent space, sounding eerie and mysterious because no one could be seen speaking.

"Changing plans so suddenly doesn't seem like your style."

"It's alright, Imagine Breaker can be recalled at any time, and its reserves are more than enough, so it won't affect the final result. I'm more curious about that kid's potential."

"He is indeed a very unique young man. I even admire his willpower a little."

"No, don't you think his ability is interesting? It's like being able to...predict the future?"

----------

Misaka Mikoto's plan to stop the experiment by destroying the designer of the tree diagram was thwarted, and in despair, she rampaged through all the equipment in the research institute.

Computers, circuit boards, machines, equipment—everything was destroyed.

Flames raged in several corners of the research institute.

Misaka Mikoto continued her rampage, causing destruction along the way, her body radiating large amounts of blue lightning.

Destroy it! Destroy it all!

"I will destroy everything, including equipment, funds, desires, and ambitions, leaving no trace!"

"In that case, one day..."

Misaka Mikoto continued her destruction as she walked forward, muttering to herself.

"Someday?"

Will the day when I can finally have my way really come?

"How many more sisters will die before that?"

These words seemed to suddenly echo in her ears, shattering Misaka Mikoto's hopes.

Suddenly, a large amount of violent lightning appeared around him, like real lightning strikes, shining with a terrifying blue aura that swept outwards.

Misaka Mikoto vented her despair and helplessness by shouting at the top of her lungs.

"It's so noisy! What else can I do? If you want to force the plan to stop now, what choice do I have?!"

After venting her frustrations, Misaka Mikoto calmed down and suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure on the monitor next to her.

That was my younger sister lying in a pool of blood. I walked up to the screen in disbelief and looked at the video playing on it.

Seeing Accelerator slowly walking towards her sister, Misaka Mikoto murmured a heartfelt cry of longing.

"No, no... No, no... Stop, stop..."

----------

10031 was not in any danger, so Inoue Hideka was relieved.

After handing 10031 to Misaki Shokuhou, Inoue Hideka headed towards the location of the next experiment.

This time, he didn't ride his motorcycle, but chose to walk slowly.

Because this time, he wasn't going to escape Accelerator with his sister.

He wants to completely halt the plan today.

Because if the experiment cannot be stopped today, that foolish girl will have to pay with her life to prove that the experiment is not feasible.

Inoue Hideka had no confidence that he could stop the plan, but he also did not want to see Misaka Mikoto go to her death.

If someone absolutely had to die, Inoue Hideka believed that it should be herself, the useless transmigrator who came to Academy City but failed to accomplish what all the Misaka Mikoto fans wanted to change, who should die first.

He thought that this might be a punishment for his previous disregard for his sister's life.

Therefore, he also wanted to see more of the Academy City, which he had dreamed of in his previous life, before he died.

When Inoue Hideka crossed the iron bridge that appeared many times in the original work, he indeed saw Misaka Mikoto standing quietly on the iron bridge, letting the cold wind mess up her hair.

Chapter Ninety: You Can't Die Before I Do! [Requesting Recommendation Votes!]

At this moment, Misaka Mikoto exuded an aura that kept strangers at bay. The silent night and the chilly wind accentuated her lonely figure.

Inoue Eika simply stood less than 10 meters away from Misaka Mikoto and watched quietly without saying anything.

Since this was the only way to the next experimental site, Inoue Hideka thought she might take one last look at this character she had liked so much in her past life, and one of her best friends in this life.

Is this a kind of farewell before death?

maybe.

After making this decision, Inoue Eika did not go to see Saten Ruiko again, not because he was willing to leave Saten Ruiko or abandon his girlfriend.

Rather, it's more accurate to say...

It was precisely because of this deep, unbearable reluctance that Inoue Hideka dared not see Saten Ruiko.

He was afraid that if he saw Saten Ruiko, if he saw the girl he loved most, his hard-won decision would be shattered...

It's completely collapsed!

He no longer wanted to deal with this annoying experiment, nor did he want to care about his dying sister.

From then on, he pretended to know nothing and lived a muddled life with Saten Ruiko until the end of his life.

He was afraid that he might do something absolutely unforgivable!

Perhaps he and Saten Ruiko will be separated forever, perhaps Saten Ruiko will forget the beautiful times they spent together ten years later, perhaps she will find someone she admires again, and Inoue Eika will only be a passerby in her life.

However, Inoue Hideka does not regret it, and certainly will not.

If a person cannot even hold onto the beliefs in their own heart...

So, what does this person rely on to gain the approval of others?

Saten Ruiko is just a weak girl, but she will not give up her inner principles even when faced with irresistible bad guys.

As Saten Ruiko's boyfriend, Inoue Eika couldn't possibly do something so shameful.

Moreover, Inoue Eika's current actions are supported by Saten Ruiko.

He wasn't fighting alone; Saten Ruiko was also working hard to persuade Misaka Dori.

So even if he is covered in wounds and his body is gone, Inoue Hideka will not stop here!

When Inoue Hideka reached a spot not far from Misaka Mikoto, she didn't make much of a sound with her footsteps.

Misaka Mikoto, lost in memories and self-blame, seemed unaware that Inoue Eika was standing a few meters away.

Misaka Mikoto leaned against the railing of the iron bridge, feeling the night breeze gently brushing past her ears, experiencing a solitude and tranquility that belonged only to her.

"why?"

Why did this happen?

Inoue Hideka heard Misaka Mikoto's helpless murmurs and seemed to see her frail body trembling slightly.

Even at the cost of their own lives, this insane experiment must be stopped.

As Misaka Mikoto thought this, the words Inoue Eika had said to her on the first day she learned about the plan suddenly echoed in her ears.

Misaka-senpai will always be our favorite, most reliable, and coolest senpai, so no matter what, never give up on your life!

Would I be able to get him to say those words again now?

Because of his own negligence, he was forced to kill 20,000 living beings.

Can someone like me still accept this statement calmly?

If she could, she wouldn't want to lose her life.

But do I still deserve redemption now?

My fingertips gradually lost their color, and my body slowly grew cold.

Misaka Mikoto felt as if a huge amount of noise was surrounding the back of her head, making it impossible for her to think calmly.

"Who?"

"Who can..."

Listening to Misaka Mikoto's trembling voice, and looking at that body that seemed to be torn apart by the faint breeze.

Inoue Hideka felt as if countless scenes from her past lives had touched her heartstrings.

The girl's cries were sharp yet silent, as she softly uttered the words that had once broken her heart—"Save me, save me..."

He did not want.

Inoue Hideka didn't want to see the girl she admired and longed for so vulnerable anymore.

I don't want to hear that shrill scream coming from the mouth of this 14-year-old girl again!

"I'll do it!"

Unable to control the turmoil in his heart, Inoue Hideka couldn't help but shout out.

Misaka Mikoto was startled by the sudden sound and turned her head in confusion to look at Inoue Eika, who had suddenly appeared.

"Hey?"

Looking blankly at Inoue Hidekazu, Misaka Mikoto didn't understand what he was talking about.
