I am a Type-Moon comic artist!

And Academy City... it truly lives up to its reputation as a city with cutting-edge technology, forcibly reviving these dormant cells.

Because of the violent awakening, the calamity within it was awakened.

This thing is nothing to a primordial being like Ryougi Mana, but it is a catastrophic existence for ordinary humans, comparable to the Stone Mask, or even more dangerous.

A single drop of blood turned a lab mouse into a vampire lab mouse.

Then, the researcher that the white mouse killed became one of its undead minions... Of course, those who know more about zombies and the like should know more about them.

In short, they are similar beings, except that they have their own consciousness.

Physical attributes such as strength and speed will improve slightly.

However, it fears sunlight, specifically ultraviolet radiation.

If it's too strong, it will turn to ashes and disappear completely.

Aleister was unaware of these facts, but he reached similar conclusions through experiments...

Aleister had considered using this blood to clone two people, but for now, it was just an experiment. Those three people wouldn't be staying in this world for long, so he could start over after they left this world.

but...

The first step was flawed; what was cloned was just an ever-growing mass of flesh, not even human-shaped.

Ultimately, the items had to be temporarily destroyed before proceeding with further research.

......

"Is Shirai alright?"

Because Saten Ruiko was not unconscious, Uiharu Kazari was not in a hurry and did not go to Kiyama Harumi's place. However, even so, she still managed to find out that she was the creator and distributor of the Imagine Breaker by using her brainwaves.

At this time, Misaka Mikoto was with Misaka Sisters and Ryougi Mana.

So Shirai Kuroko went after Kiyama Haruo.

Although Haruharu Kazari had mentioned calling out "Misaka Mikoto," Shirai Kuroko replied, "Anyway, Kiyama Harumi is just a researcher, it'll be fine. Besides, I'm a member of the Disciplinary Committee, so we should handle these things ourselves and not drag Onee-sama into it."

so...

So Shirai Kuroko went there by herself.

But... without a doubt.

While Kiyama Harumi was surprised by the security guard's 'multi-talented abilities,' he was also somewhat worried about 'Shirai Kuroko' who was about to arrive.

"I don't know... but it would be better to call out to Misaka-senpai at this time..." Uiharu Kazari's hand trembled slightly.

Regardless, they're facing 'multi-talented individuals'—things that theoretically shouldn't exist...or, for now, they're called 'multi-ability users'.

You can't be too careful...

"Well then, let's call it out! Putting aside Shirai-kun for now, if this keeps up, all the security guards will be wiped out!"

"Well, I see."

Kazari Uiharu nodded, then dialed Misaka Mikoto's number.

And at this moment—

Misaka Mikoto is listening to the Misaka Sisters recount the process of the experiment.

"I see... So much happened..." Misaka Mikoto lowered her eyes and said, "But it's good that it's over... What are you planning to do next?"

"I haven't decided yet." Misaka Sister shook her head: "Do Misaka 15840 also has many doubts about the future, but she is not particularly worried."

"Not...particularly worried?"

"Well, because I don't really have any particular ideas anyway."

"Ha...really, I thought I was going to say something." Misaka Mikoto sighed, then looked at Ryougi Mana and said, "Thank you."

"No, no, it's nothing."

"Hmm... Of course I thank you, but there's one more thing I want to ask. Why didn't you tell me about this?" Misaka Mikoto said, looking at Ryougi Mana.

"Because I don't know how to say it." Ryougi Mona sighed, "If Misaka-senpai encountered a similar situation, do you know what to say?"

"What's the big deal? We'll just say it when the time comes... um... okay, I understand." Misaka Mikoto said, only to realize that she really didn't know what to say. Just then, a sudden ringtone interrupted their conversation.

"Hatsuharu? Is something the matter?"

"Yes—!" Uiharu Kazari quickly replied, "We've found the developer of Phantasm, and Shirai-san has already gone there—but something's not right now!"

Chapter 1204 Treatment Procedure

"How's Academy City like?"

Ryougi and Mi served a pot of tea and sat opposite Ryougi, looking out the window at the crowd.

"It's alright, although there seems to be a lot going on, but if I don't get involved, things are quite peaceful like they are now..." Ryougi Shiki said, pointing to a loudspeaker next to her, "except for this awful music that's playing right now."

"This music..."

Ryougi Kazuya paused and said, "It seems to be related to the Gensou Mikoto incident."

Actually, he also managed to get his hands on a copy of Fantasy Knight, and even listened to it himself. He initially thought it would be some interesting music, but it turned out to be just so-so...

As for brainwave connections and the like...

These things are completely ineffective against him, the ultimate being. He can ignore them and listen to them as ordinary music, or he can directly change his brainwaves to take control from Kiyama Haruo.

However, I'm not really interested in any of these things.

For Ryougi and Mi, who are currently enjoying life, such things are not as appealing as a good piece of music or a delicious meal.

It's like a side effect of developing superpowers.

I'll keep the good stuff and throw away the bad stuff.

“Is that so?” Ryougi Shiki listened and said, “Ah...whether it’s a treatment procedure or anything else, can’t you make some nice music? This...it’s completely out of tune.”

"Well, there's nothing I can do about it. After all, Kiyama Harumi isn't exactly a musician. It's already pretty good that he could produce something like this... I guess."

However, this one sounds just as awful as "Fantasy Master".

It's estimated that when Kiyama Harumi produced it, he didn't even consider whether it sounded good or bad.

It was just based on academic principles, using whatever tone was useful... and that's how we ended up with the current result.

“However, perhaps we can make a copy of this and take it back,” Ryougi Kazumi said, rubbing his ears. “If we copy it back and amplify the volume, it’ll be a sonic weapon.”

Is it that serious?

"Ah...that's about it."

"...Ugh...but it really does sound awful." Ryougi Shiki poured herself a cup of tea. "Well then, we've pretty much seen everything here. How about we go over there next?"

"Let me see..."

Ryougi Kazuya looked at the map of Academy City and said, "Let's go play there next..."

......

"Wow...so fast—"

As the surrounding scenery seemed to teleport backward, Misaka Mikoto's eyes widened. "What?! This is... I remember your ability isn't spatial, right? And... it feels a little different from Kuroko's."

"Instant Step".

Ryougi Mana kept using Shunpo and said, "It's not a spatial ability, but a high-speed movement technique."

thump—

brush--

With his feet hovering in mid-air, he paved the way with spiritual energy, and then executed another Instant Step—

Using Instant Step to travel continuously is actually quite tiring.

Even Ryougi Mana could feel her own energy draining away. Of course, this level of energy drain would be fully recovered in about a minute if she stopped.

"We've arrived—that's...?"

Ryougi Mana stared blankly at the infant-like creature that appeared in mid-air before her, then watched as it grew larger and larger under the guards' attacks...

Where's Heizi?

Misaka Mikoto looked around and then saw Shirai Kuroko standing to the side.

"Kuroko—"

"Big sister?"

Shirai Kuroko stared blankly at Misaka Mikoto as she fell from the sky: "Onee-sama, what are you doing...? Is it... Hatsuharu...?"

"What's going on here?"

"I'm not entirely sure either..." Shirai Kuroko said, looking at the current situation, "This happened after I defeated Kiyama Harumi."

Although it was a tough battle.

However, Shirai Kuroko is, after all, a highly experienced 'super esper', while Kiyama Harumi, despite possessing the brains of ten thousand people and having immense computing power.

However, he is only a researcher.

There is a fundamental difference between him and someone like Shirai Kuroko who keeps fighting against different ability users, even though at the beginning it was Kiyama Harumi who was easily defeating Shirai Kuroko.

However, as soon as she found an opening, taking advantage of Kiyama Harumi's inattention, Shirai Kuroko instantly knocked him unconscious.

And the result is what we have now...

The internet is going crazy.

"So, what should we do next?"

"Well..." Shirai Kuroko said, looking at Kiyama Harumi who was still unconscious to the side, "We can only ask her..."

“Then, I’ll go and restrain it first,” said Ryougi Mana.

"Restraints?" Misaka Mikoto asked疑惑地, "Do you have any ideas?"

"Uh...no, I'm just trying it out. I'm not sure if it will work." Ryougi Mana sighed. When it comes to binding, what she wants to use is of course 'binding spells', but because she hasn't put much effort into this area, the binding spells she can use are limited.
