The Legend of Level 0 in Academy City

Misaki Shokuhou watched as one of the girls helped Inoue Eika walk away into the distance. She took out a remote control from her waist bag, pointed it at Inoue Eika's head, and pressed a beep.

That way, you won't get into danger because of me, right?

After taking a deep look at Inoue Hidekasa's blood-soaked body, Shokuhou Misaki's face was frosty. She resolutely turned around and walked towards a certain building!

Chapter 123 Departure, Familiar Coastline

"Well……"

Inoue Hideka groggily opened her eyes and picked up her constantly ringing phone.

"Hey?"

"Yinghua, what have you been doing? It's already evening, haven't you finished the procedures yet?"

"Huh? Oh... wait a minute, I'll go back right away!"

After hanging up the phone, Inoue Hideka looked around in confusion.

"Is this...a hospital?"

Muttering to himself in confusion, Inoue Hideka reached out and covered his throbbing head. After a while, his eyes regained some clarity.

"So... I was in a car accident... Who was the kind person who took me to the hospital?"

Inoue Hideka muttered to himself as he touched the bandages wrapped around his body.

"Ah... the motorcycle also fell into the river... Oh right!"

He looked around anxiously and saw his clothes on the bedside table. He grabbed his pants, rummaged through the pockets, and pulled out neatly folded but obviously water-soaked papers.

After opening it and examining it carefully, Inoue Hideka breathed a sigh of relief.

"Phew, at least I can still make out the font. Hopefully it'll work... It was so hard to get this!"

Getting out of bed, Inoue Hideka took out everything she had hidden in her clothes and walked out of the ward.

Her body was still aching, but Inoue Hideka didn't want to give up the rare opportunity to travel with Saten Ruiko.

squeak~

"Tell me, what are you planning to do?"

As soon as he opened the ward door, he saw the Underworld Soul Chaser walking towards him. Inoue Hideka scratched his head sheepishly.

"Um, doctor! Could you please pack up the medication I need to change? I can take it back and find someone to change it for me. Because... I really have something very important to take care of..."

"Honestly! You're such a disobedient patient!"

Mingtu Zhuihun looked at Inoue Hideka helplessly, then turned and walked towards the medical room.

Carrying the medicine packed up by the Netherworld Soul Chaser and having bought a cane, Inoue Eika walked out of the hospital with a limp.

Inoue Hideka specifically asked who had taken her to the hospital, intending to express her gratitude properly.

However, no definite information was obtained from the Underworld Soul Chaser. They only said that it was a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, and the person involved did not leave any information. Inoue Eika had no choice but to give up.

----------

"Hey? Yinghua, what's wrong?"

Saten Ruiko was shocked to see Inoue Hideka, who was walking in with a cane and wearing a hospital gown, push open the door.

"Um... I accidentally grazed another motorcycle, it's just a minor scrape on my leg, it's nothing serious..."

Inoue Hideka carefully considered his words and spoke in a way that avoided the main point.

To be honest, he was also very puzzled as to what kind of car accident could cause injuries to his back, legs, and arms, but not a single scar on his face.

However, his memory of the car accident was extremely vague, and he was afraid that Saten Ruiko would cancel her trip because of her worries.

Therefore, only the leg injury was mentioned, since it couldn't be seen since the clothes were on.

"Seriously, you're so careless! Yinghua, you should ride your motorcycle less often in the future. After all, you're still just a junior high school student!"

"Um... okay! Actually, I've already sold the motorcycle, and I won't be riding it anymore! Hehe!"

School District 23, International Airport.

Inoue Hideka, pulling a suitcase, waited with Saten Ruiko in the departure lounge.

The 23rd School District is a special school district that focuses on the aviation and space development industry. This school district only has an airport, launch pad and related facilities. All the airports in Academy City are located in this school district.

Except for the roads connecting the international airport and the terminal station, the entire area is off-limits.

Inoue Hideka looked at her right arm and saw no trace of the painless injection, nor any abnormalities in her body.

It's hard to imagine that tiny transmitters are now flowing in my blood.

In order to protect classified information from being leaked and to prevent students from being kidnapped by spies from all sides, Academy City tries its best to prevent students from leaving Academy City.

To leave Academy City, in addition to various tedious applications, one must also have a tiny transmitter injected into their blood.

"Yinghua, is your leg alright? Or should I hold it for you?"

Saten Ruiko followed behind Inoue Eika, looking at her with concern.

"It's alright. Being able to travel with a beauty like Ruiko is already enough to make others envious. If I were to make a beauty carry heavy things, I would have to endure a thousand cuts of stares!"

Inoue Hideka endured the pain in his legs and said that although he didn't have much skill, his ability to tolerate pain was outstanding.

Anyone who trains for six months, enduring the abrasions and pains all over their body every day, can develop a body with extremely high endurance.

Although waves of pain emanated from his entire body, there was not a trace of it on Inoue Hideka's smiling face.

"Okay, fine!"

Saten Ruiko smiled happily as she listened to Inoue Hideka's implied praise and took Inoue Hideka's other arm.

Glug!

Feeling Saten Ruiko's hand gripping her wound, Inoue Hideka's expression changed. He swallowed hard, suppressing the cry of pain that was about to escape his lips.

"Let's go, Ruiko!"

Hearing the announcement from the loudspeaker, Inoue Eika said something to Saten Ruiko and then went out first.

----------

Wow! The familiar sea!

Looking at the undulating sea before him, the blue ocean stretching to the horizon, and the occasional seagulls swooping across the distant horizon, Inoue Hideka couldn't help but let out a cry from the depths of her heart.

"I've never asked before, Yinghua, is your hometown by the sea?"

Saten Ruiko stood barefoot on the stilt with her hands behind her back, smiling at Inoue Eika.

"Huh? Is that so?"

Saten Ruiko assumed that Inoue Hidekazu's use of "familiarity" referred to childhood memories, a point Inoue Hidekazu guessed without much thought.

In fact, the familiarity that Inoue Hideka mentioned was a familiarity with her past life.

This is the coastline of the Bohai Sea, on the shore of a city called Laishan District, Yantai.

It was evening.

It was already past 2 PM when we got off the plane. We took a taxi to the nearest beach, found a hotel by the sea, and after putting our luggage in, Inoue Eika couldn't wait to take Saten Ruiko to the beach.

Although there will be no more familiar friends or relatives in this world.

Only this familiar scenery will not change.

Many young people were playing on the beach, and of course, there were quite a few couples like Inoue Eika and Saten Ruiko.

August 27th is the start of the new semester for university students in China.

On the opposite shore where Inoue Hidekazu is located, just 50 meters away, is the city's iconic university.

Wow! What a beautiful girl!

When Inoue Hideka heard someone nearby exclaiming in Mandarin about Saten Ruiko, a strange sense of pride welled up inside him.

The first time I heard someone praise my girlfriend in their native language felt like when I introduced my girlfriend to my buddy and he looked at me with envy.

"Hey beautiful, can I take your picture?"

An ordinary-looking boy with spiky hair walked up to Saten Ruiko and looked at her excitedly.

"Uh? Sorry... I don't understand Chinese."

Saten Ruiko looked at the boy apologetically, waving her hands with an embarrassed expression.

"Oh, a beautiful woman from Japan!" the boy exclaimed in surprise, then raised an eyebrow and said flippantly in English, "Beautiful lady, wanna hook up tonight?"

Just like Inoue Hideka in her previous life, influenced by a series of AVs, she always felt that girls from island countries were more open-minded.

While Inoue Hideka could understand this, she could not forgive someone for belittling her girlfriend in this way.

"I'm sorry, this is my girlfriend. Please have some self-respect!"

Inoue Hideka looked at the boy with great displeasure and spoke to him in her native language.

"cut!"

The boy pursed his lips, glanced at Saten Ruiko with resentment, and then left sheepishly.

"I never knew Yinghua could speak Chinese!"

Saten Ruiko was completely unaffected by the impolite boy and continued to speak with a smile.

"Hehe, there are a lot of things that Ruiko doesn't know! Let's go collect seashells, that's something girls like to do, right?"

Inoue Hideka chuckled, took Saten Ruiko's hand, and walked slowly down the beach, stepping on the waves.

Chapter 124 A Trip with Ruiko

"Hey! Ruiko, try this!"

Before nightfall, the tide began to rise at the beach.

So, after Inoue Eika helped Saten Ruiko exchange some RMB, they went straight to a food street and searched for some unique snacks that she used to like, introducing them to Saten Ruiko one by one.

Saten Ruiko watched as Inoue Hideka held a small box, skewered a piece of tofu inside, and brought it to her mouth. A foul odor hit her face, causing Saten Ruiko to frown slightly.

"Yinghua, is this stuff called stinky tofu really edible?"
