Chapter 1196 Sin

Ryougi and Mi glanced at Accelerator.

Then, laughing, he said, "Do you remember who defeated you?"

"I forgot. To be honest, I don't even remember if that guy ever mentioned his own name." Accelerator said through gritted teeth, "Stop changing the subject. What does it mean that the Level 10 program has been halted?"

"The literal meaning."

Ryougi Kazuya said, "The Absolute Ability User Project started with the premise that you were the strongest, but now you are no longer the strongest. You were defeated by someone, so naturally the experiment has ended."

Ryougi Kazumi smiled and said, "By the way, my name is Ryougi Kazumi. So I guess I've already introduced myself."

"Isn't he... the strongest?"

Accelerator remained silent for a moment, unsure of what to say.

How should I describe my feelings at this moment?

Angry? Anxious? Or... relieved?

"Who are you? How do you know these things—"

“I’ve already said, I’m just an outsider…” Ryougi Kazumi said, “As for why I know these things… it’s probably because I have some connection with the chairman of Academy City.”

"What? This is interesting. So I ended up meeting a big shot?" Accelerator grinned and said, "So, what brings someone like you back here?"

"No, it wasn't me who brought you back."

"what?"

“She is my daughter.” Ryougi Kazuya said to Accelerator, “I don’t know if she has ever told you her name. Her name is Ryougi Mana, my daughter, and the one who defeated you.”

"Varied--!"

Accelerator's pupils contracted: "Your daughter?"

"Yes."

"Ha...haha—funny! This is really fun!"

brush--

As soon as Accelerator spoke, he rushed towards Ryougi Mana, and put one hand on his neck, but he was bounced away!

"This is--?"

As the arm was slightly raised, the pupils of the passerby contracted slightly.

The feeling I just experienced... is undoubtedly—vector manipulation!

"Well, no need to get so worked up." Ryougi Kazuya pressed Accelerator back to his original seat and said, "It's nothing serious. I just analyzed your ability composition a little before, so naturally I was able to use your ability."

"Hey, wait a minute, how could someone have this kind of analytical ability that can be used so easily... Or are you some kind of monster that Academy City has just developed?"

“I’ve already said, I’m an outsider… this is just my basic ability.” Ryougi Kazumi smiled and said, “However, I can’t say much more about the specifics, you can just feel it for yourself.”

"Tsk..."

"So, would you like some apples?" Ryougi Kazumi said, pointing to several unpeeled apples on the fruit plate. "These apples are quite fresh."

"No need! I'm more interested in you, you, and your daughter right now... What kind of monsters are you, that you possess vectors that I can't control?"

“Ah… a vector that you can’t control…” Ryougi Kazumi thought for a moment and said, “Actually, there are many such things, such as magic.”

"Magic? Hey, you mean those deceptive tricks?"

“No, not that, it’s real ‘magic’,” Ryougi Kazumi said from the side. “There are quite a lot of different kinds of magic, and back then you couldn’t analyze the power… Of course, that’s not absolute.”

Liangyi and Mi took out two magnets from their hands.

“Every magnet has two poles, S and N... S and S or N and N will repel each other, while S and N will attract each other.”

"What exactly are you trying to say?"

“Let me give you an example.” Ryougi Kazumi leaned forward slightly, and the two magnets in his hands began to move closer together: “When you analyze forces that don’t belong to this world, like primordial matter, or techniques used by Mona, it’s like the S and N poles of a magnet… they attract each other, making the analysis very quick.”

Snapped--

The magnets stick together, and even if you let go of them, they will stick together again without external force.

"But, if it's analytical magic..."

Ryougi and Mi pried open the magnet, turned it around, and said, "Just like the N poles of this magnet... there will be a repulsive force between them, making it almost impossible to analyze."

Ryougi and Mi's fingers trembled slightly, and the two magnets would not get close no matter what.

"Of course, it's not impossible to analyze it even if it's not perfect."

As she spoke, Ryougi Kazumi's trembling fingers stopped. Even though there was a repulsive force between the two magnets, a force far exceeding this repulsive force came from Ryougi Kazumi's hands, forcibly pressing the two magnets closer together.

Finally, they came together—

"For example, like now, we're forcing it with force. If it were you, you'd be forcibly analyzing it using computing power."

As they spoke, Ryougi and Mi released their hands, and the two magnets bounced away in all directions.

"But... just like a magnet that bounces back when released, the result is obvious, isn't it?"

"What exactly are you trying to say?" Accelerator, who had been silent all along, finally spoke up.

“Who knows…” Ryougi Kazuya smiled. “You’ll find out later… But now that the Absolute Ability User Project has been stopped, is there anything you want to do?”

"What I want to do..." Accelerator thought for a moment, "Who knows... I don't have anything like that, and... even if I did, why would I tell the father of the person who defeated me such a thing!"

“That’s true.” Ryougi Kazumi said, taking out a photograph and saying, “This is for you.”

"what?"

Accelerator took it and looked at it, frowning as he gazed at the girl in the photo, who appeared to be around ten years old: "What is this?"

"My final work."

Ryougi Kazumi said, "Consider it the terminal of the 'sisters' you killed. Because of various reasons, it wasn't adjusted, so it's this size now..."

"This is..."

“You probably have a lot to say about the ‘Ability Power Project,’ like atonement or something… You could try looking for that,” Ryougi Kazumi said. “Take her as your object of atonement.”

"Atonement? Ha, who would do something so boring..." Accelerator stood up, clutching his stomach, and prepared to leave: "So boring."

“Bored…” Ryougi Kazumi glanced at the coffee table in front of him.

The final photograph has been taken away.

Chapter 1197 The New Stand User (Part 1)

"Ah, the Phantasm Master..."

"I'm sorry, I said I was going to take you on a tour of Academy City today, but so many things have happened..."

“No, no, no problem.” Ryougi Mana waved her hand and said, “In fact, it’s better this way. Academy City can be visited anytime, and the feeling of being part of it like this is great…”

"Really? That's a relief."

“But I’m happy to be able to participate in this kind of thing directly like this.” Ryougi Mona asked doubtfully, “Isn’t this kind of thing classified?”

"That's it."

The speaker was a woman with dark circles under her eyes, wearing a white coat.

His name is Harumi Kiyama, a renowned brain scientist.

“But… well, quite a few people have already gotten involved…” Kiyama Harumi said, looking at the people in the room.

Among those present, the only truly relevant individuals were 'Shirai Kuroko' and 'Hatsuharu Kazari'; the rest were all extras.

"Haha... I'll show you around after things are settled here," Misaka Mikoto said, waving her hand.

“There’s no need to do this on purpose, it would make me feel embarrassed…” Ryougi Mana waved her hand: “I can do my things anytime, let’s investigate the Imagine Might and Magic right now.”

“That’s true…” Misaka Mikoto sighed and said, “But even so, we don’t even know what a Phantasm Mage is. We should start our investigation from there.”

“Hmm…yes…” Ryougi Mana glanced at Saten Ruiko and smiled as she spoke.

“Ha...haha..." Saten Ruiko’s eyes darted away slightly.

In reality, Ryougi Mana didn't discover anything either. She wasn't that perceptive; it's just that... her ability to use her Zanpakuto all this time had greatly improved her intuition, even when she wasn't using it.

In other words, this is the development of Zanpakuto.

Perhaps one day, without using her Zanpakuto's abilities, she will possess intuition that has already been sealed away at the level of the fourth or even fifth sense. At that point, if she were to use her abilities...

Relying on her ever-improving intuition, she vaguely noticed something amiss with Saten Ruiko...

Could it be that she possesses a ViewSkill?

Um...

Well, I can't force her to tell me if she doesn't want to. I'll ask her later.

The conversation continued for a while...

At the end, Saten Ruiko disappeared 'without noticing' by herself, and then Misaka Mikoto also 'disappeared' and followed. Afterwards, Ryougi Mana and Kuroko greeted each other and went over as well.

However, she did not appear directly, but waited until Misaka Mikoto and Saten Ruiko finished their conversation before going over.

"Liangyi classmate?"

Saten Ruiko looked at the girl who was walking over with some confusion.

"Good afternoon, Saten-kun..."

"Oh, we only parted a few minutes ago, right? Should we say hello again?" Saten Ruiko said, her lips twitching.

"Hmph...no, not really...but, Saten-san, wouldn't you like to walk with me for a bit?"

"Hmm..." Saten Ruiko glanced at the time and nodded, saying, "Sure, I can show you around wherever you want. Don't let my appearance fool you, I actually came to Academy City when I was very young, so I'm quite familiar with this place. There are all sorts of shops here..."

Saten Ruiko leaned closer and whispered with a smile, "Is there something you're curious about?"

"Ah... sort of. Let's talk as we walk."
