At this moment, shatter the dimensional barrier

"Fine, I haven't used force since I became the acting chairman. Since someone's looking for death, I'll grant their wish," Misaki Shokuhou sneered.

The mind control system instantly traced the network cable and found a middle-aged man with eyes full of lust for power who was instantly controlled. There happened to be a gun on his desk.

He was still conscious at this moment, but he couldn't control his body and screamed in terror.

"I! My body is out of control!" He looked in horror at his hand gripping the gun, pulling the safety pin, and then pointing it at his forehead.

"Wait, wait! Acting Chairman! I agree! I agree! I agree!!! No, ahhhhhh..." Oniyama Ryusei felt his finger slowly pulling the trigger, his fear hysterical.

【Bang--】

With a bang, Guishan Langshi's desperate voice came to an abrupt end.

The gunshot instantly silenced the entire online audience.

All the council members broke out in a cold sweat. They didn't know exactly what had happened, but they were certain that Guishan Langshi had most likely been killed.

Accelerator and Kakine Teitoku remained calm. It was just killing; who among them hadn't killed someone? Although Accelerator's killing was accidental due to a reflection of his ability.

They had both witnessed Misaki Shokuhou's power firsthand. A Level 6 Absolute Devil Fruit user was definitely not someone a Level 5 user could handle, and even all the Devil Fruit users in Academy City combined couldn't defeat a Level 6 user.

"???" Misaka Mikoto covered her mouth, unable to believe it. Shokuhou really killed someone? And a director no less! *gulp*... She swallowed, her mouth feeling a little dry.

“You all don’t really have a concept of the power of a Level 6 Absolute Ability User, do you?” Misaki Shokuhou said matter-of-factly. “If I wanted to, I could instantly control everyone in Academy City, and no matter where you are or what kind of scientific and technological defenses you use, it would be useless.”

"For example, like this..."

After Misaki Shokuhou finished speaking, she instantly took control of all the directors' bodies, even though they were protected in the most technologically advanced underground facility in Academy City.

He manipulated all the council members to grab whatever was nearby that could be fatal and bring it to their necks.

All the board members were terrified.

Now they understand why Aleister chose Misaki Shokuhou as chairman.

Because Misaki Shokuhou has absolute control over Academy City, surpassing even Aleister's dictatorship.

"Now, who's in favor, and who's against?" Misaki Shokuhou asked, releasing her grip.

The board members were pale-faced. They knew they absolutely could not play any tricks. Only now did they realize that absolute power is absolute authority, and their wisdom in business and politics was completely useless as they were defeated by the other side.

"I agree!" Wang Benlizang was the first to shout.

“I agree!” said the head of the ship.

“I agree!” said Haiyuan, the principal.

One board member after another gave their approval.

"I object! Uh... no, no, no, I agree!" The director who initially supported Guishan Langshi was so frightened that he almost peed himself and quickly changed his mind.

"Director Kakine, congratulations on joining. If you need weapons support, just come to me. I'll give you 20% of Academy City's weapons manufacturing industry," Director Shiogishi said, wiping away cold sweat.

"For medical matters, you can contact me or Haiyuan," Yakumi Hisako said.

After each board member finished expressing their congratulations, they quickly offered their congratulations to Accelerator, Kakine Teitoku, and Misaka Mikoto on joining the company.

"Hahaha, congratulations to you all! I will definitely keep a close eye on my colleagues, hehehehe." Kakine Teitoku laughed wildly. These idiots, the power of a Level 5 esper is no match for the entire Academy City, but a Level 6 can easily crush them.

He has already obtained the 'World Calculation Formula' from Chairman Shokuhou. Although he has only learned a little bit, his abilities have nearly doubled. Sooner or later, he will become a Level 6 and rightfully secure his position as a director, making these guys tremble at the mere mention of his name.

"How boring. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up now." Accelerator said with annoyance, "Chairman, just let me know if you need anything."

"Hey, Yifang, let's get together in a bit, I'll come find you," Kakine Teitoku said quickly.

"Whatever you want," Accelerator said, feeling a little happy. No one had ever approached him before, and even when they did, it was with malicious intent, as they wanted to use him as a guinea pig.

He hung up after saying that.

"Alright, now that we've finished discussing the board matters, let's formally talk about the world's declaration of war against Academy City." Misaki Shokuhou sat up straight.

All the board members fell silent instantly.

"Currently, some council members are aware of the existence of the magic side, while others are not."

"First, let me tell you about the distribution of various forces in the world today." Shokuhou slowly explained the relationships between the magical side, the scientific side, secular countries, and so on.

"Then, council members with greater secular influence will deal with the pressure from secular countries, while council members with knowledge of the magical side will deal with the malice of magicians."

"On the magic side, there are mages capable of breaching Academy City's defenses single-handedly."

"You don't need to worry about high-end combat capabilities; leave that to our three newly appointed directors."

"The Roman Catholic Church, currently the largest force on the magic side, has dispatched a mage whose strength surpasses level 5 but has not reached level 6 to attack Academy City. The task of dealing with this mage has been handed over to the Inspectorate, while other council members will protect the safety of the citizens of Academy City."

"No problem. A mere mage? Ha, it's not like I haven't encountered them before." Kakine Teitoku said dismissively. The mages he encountered when he was still the leader of the Dark Guard were no match for him.

"At the same time, our Academy City will not sit idly by. Research institutions around the world will provide military and technological support to countries that have close cooperation with us to deal with the all-out attack from the magical side," Misaki Shokuhou continued.

"At the same time, I will open source the latest technology for developing superpowers to the world."

"Don't all the countries in the world want Academy City's technology? Then let's give it to them."

Chapter 377 Frenda's Reckless Acts: The Wind Ahead Invades Academy City

"What? Open source the technology for developing superpowers to the whole world? Chairman, isn't that too radical? Academy City doesn't have that kind of massive resources right now."

"Yes, Chairman, the equipment required for a set of superpower development technology is too much and too expensive. If it were to be open source to the world, Academy City would lose at least 60% of its researchers."

Having witnessed the absolute power of Level 6, all the board members are now completely convinced and have dropped the word 'proxy'. With Misaki Shokuhou's current abilities, she may not be weaker than Aleister at all, and may even be stronger.

"Quiet!" Misaki Shokuhou said.

"I'm just saying that we should develop open-source superpower technologies so that the world's major powers can manufacture the equipment themselves."

"Moreover, I already have technology that allows one to develop superpowers simply through written learning, which I call 'cognitive technology'."

"Cognitive technology?" Hisako Yakumi wondered. When did Academy City acquire such technology?

“That’s right. This technology was developed by the great scientist Losang. As long as the ‘cognitive technology’ is spread throughout the world, anyone can develop superpowers on their own. However, it is very difficult to learn,” Misaki Shokuhou said.

"Oh, which great scientist is it? Tsk tsk, that person is really mysterious. Even we board members have never met him in person. Everyone who has met him has only seen him through online lectures." Hisako Yakumi clicked her tongue.

"Hehe, not at all. This great scientist is currently a teacher at my Tokiwadai Academy," Director Kairi chuckled.

"After all, that great scientist was also an ability user. Although we don't know his exact level, he must have reached level 5 or above."

"I will send you all the technical data, and you can open-source it to the world," Misaki Shokuhou said with a smile. "The major powers that acquire those technologies will inevitably shift the intensity of their wars from the international arena to their surrounding regions in order to develop various facilities."

"Declaring war on Academy City is nothing more than coveting Academy City's technology. So let's just give them the non-classified technology. After all, the whole world will eventually prioritize science."

"Establishing a science-based foundation for the world, no matter how strong the magic side is, it can only be integrated into the scientific side, allowing magic and science to merge."

"In addition, the major secular influential councils have turned their attention to foreign institutions, mediating wars in various regions around the world and shifting all conflicts to the dark corners, drug dealers, gangs, and all kinds of warmongering schemers."

"With the world's conflicts piling up to this point, and the wars already out of control, the only option is to shift the focus."

"Let World War III be the machine to clean up the world. After the war, the world will be brand new."

"That's all!" Misaki Shokuhou exclaimed, even she herself was excited.

As a psycho-type ability user, she read the memories of all the people in Academy City upon returning to the city, possessing a level of cognition and knowledge that is unimaginable to ordinary people.

She alone is equivalent to the wisdom of the entire Academy City. Of course, there are still limitations. She is still just one person and cannot operate it all. She simply treats those knowledge and understandings as a library.

"Yes," all the council members responded.

"Finally, Director Kairi arranged for me to be broadcast to international media outlets worldwide, so I could have a dialogue with the entire world," Misaki Shokuhou said.

"It will be arranged immediately," said Haiyuan, the former director.

One by one, the holographic screens disconnected, until only Misaka Mikoto and Kakine Teitoku remained.

"Speaking of Shokuhou, you really gave that director..." Misaka Mikoto hesitated.

"What are you thinking? How could I, the beautiful chairperson, personally commit murder?" Misaki Shokuhou tossed her hair. "I only modified his memories and personality, making him work as a cleaner. The memories of everyone else were also modified."

"Um... this is even more cruel than killing them outright." Kakine Teitoku couldn't help but complain. Level 6 mental beings are truly unreasonable, truly controlling the entire world, with everyone's fate in their hands.

"By the way, Director Kakine, this is information on the Wind from the Front. That person has already entered Tokyo and will soon be attacking Academy City. It would be best to intercept them before they enter the Seventh District," Misaki Shokuhou said, sending the information to Kakine Teitoku.

“By the way, Chairman, although I’m not Level 6 yet, I’m still very confident in my abilities. A mere mage is a piece of cake for me. There’s absolutely no need to doubt my abilities,” Kakine Teitoku said.

“I have no doubt about Director Kakine’s abilities. After all, he is an unformed substance. If he becomes a Level 6, he must be incredibly powerful.” Misaki Shokuhou nodded.

"Hahaha, of course, I feel it won't be long before I reach the level 6 evolution stage." Kakine Teitoku was extremely confident and somewhat arrogant. With the 'World Calculation Formula', it was only a matter of time before he became level 6.

Presumably, he is on par with Accelerator, and may even be much stronger than Accelerator in terms of ability, since the ability to control direction is actually quite common.

After the meeting.

Misaki Shokuhou arrived in the 15th school district, a district teeming with media and the most bustling, a birthplace of all kinds of popular trends.

At this moment, the announcement was received that the current 'acting chairman' of Academy City would be attending the next official chairman's meeting, and media from all major countries around the world had arrived.

The press conference was immediately packed with people, and countless cameras were flashing. Surprisingly, there was no noise at all, and reporters from every news organization were intently focused on the press conference platform.

Fully armed security personnel stood in neat rows throughout the press conference venue, while undercover agents kept watch from the shadows, ready to eliminate any spies or assassins from various countries who might have infiltrated the event.

Now, all the ANBU in Academy City are directly under the command of Misaki Shokuhou.

A dark, unnoticed corner.

"How impressive, Mugino. That Shokuhou used to be only fifth, one place lower than you, and yet she became the acting chairperson without us even noticing. I really don't know what Chairman Aleister saw in her." The blonde girl wearing a beret and a stylish short skirt muttered, "I think Mugino is more suitable to be the acting chairperson than that Shokuhou."

"And it's so unfair. The second-ranked Unknown Element is clearly from the Dark Division just like us, and is also Level 5. Why is he able to become a council member?"

"Mugino, Kinuhata, Takitsubo, you agree, don't you?"

Mugino Shizuri, Kinuhata's favorite, and Takitsubo Riko's expression changed instantly upon hearing Frenda's mutterings.

The three instinctively attacked Frenda. Kinuhata covered Frenda's mouth, Takitsubo Riko kicked her in the knee, and Mugino Shizuri punched her in the head.

"Ugh—" Frenda fell to her knees, her face contorted in pain, and tears streamed down her face.

"Frenda!!! You idiot! Are you trying to kill us?!" Mugino Shizuri's eyes were filled with murderous intent as he grabbed Frenda by the hair and lifted her up.

"Do you even know how terrifying Level 6 is?!"

"The acting chairman might be monitoring the entire Academy City, let alone the press conference venue!"

When she heard that Misaki Shokuhou had become the acting chairperson, she was naturally indignant. Everyone in Academy City was a 'guinea pig,' so why should someone with only Psychic Mastery be able to gain Aleister's favor and become the acting chairperson?

After learning the news, she went there alone to see what was so special about the mere fifth-ranked person.

With his abilities, it would have been easy for him to avoid her, but he didn't; he just sat there drinking coffee and waiting for her.
