Chat group: People are in the sandbox, the system just ran away

"Then how are you going to develop it? Medication or hypnosis? Or something else?"

Riri Saten was very curious about how Li Xuan became a superpower user, and the attention of the other three people was also diverted to her. After all, Riri Saten had already developed superpowers, so ordinary means were normally useless.

"How do you develop it? I've already stimulated your superpowers. Just try it yourself."

"Is that all that's going to happen?"

Riri Saotome was a little surprised. Li Xuan didn't do anything, so his superpower development was complete?

"What else? To me, developing a person's superpowers doesn't take that long. If you don't believe me, just try it! Aeronauts have superpowers. If you calm down, you should be able to sense them."

After Li Xuan said this, Riri Saotome also felt a power in her body that she had never sensed before. It was obvious that she finally possessed super powers and became one of the people with special abilities.

Then she thought about it and used the superpower she had been thinking about. A gust of wind suddenly arose and blew from the ground into the air.

"Ah! What are you doing, Ruiko?"

Hatsuharu Shikiri sensed something was wrong and quickly held down her skirt. If she hadn't been so familiar with Saten Ruiko, she would have known what she was up to the moment she saw her expression. She would have been nearly exposed by the strong wind.

"Saten-san!"

Misaka Mikoto also looked at Saten Ruiko with a bad expression. Although she could understand Saten Ruiko's excitement when she just gained super powers, this behavior was a bit too much even if she wore safety pants on a daily basis.

If you don’t know, you might think that some uncle has acquired this ability!

"Ah! Sorry, sorry, I didn't expect that just using a little bit of my ability would cause such a strong wind."

When Saten Ruiko saw the strong wind forming, she felt something was amiss and tried to control it. However, having just gained superpowers, she naturally lacked the ability to do so and could only watch helplessly as the wind raged. Fortunately, Li Xuan had anticipated this situation and isolated the table from the rest of the shop. Otherwise, the entire shop would have been overturned by the strong wind.

"If this power is only a small part of your superpower, then Saten-san should be stronger than most people with superpowers. I just don't know if you can reach the level of a superpower."

After dodging the strong wind with a space jump, Shirai Kuroko no longer worried about why her future self would become a pervert.

Instead, he thought about Saten Ruiko's current strength. As a member of the Judgment Committee, judging the strength of people with special abilities is also an important part of Judgment Committee training. Otherwise, when facing students who do evil, they may be in danger.

If Riri Saten is not lying, then she is at least a person with great abilities now. It's incredible.

"I don't know that either."

Riri Saotome was a little confused. She originally thought that after Li Xuan helped her develop into a psychic, she would at most be a 1eve12 person. After all, she was originally just a person without abilities and her qualifications were very average.

However, what she never expected was that she could now be considered a person with great abilities. This change was too huge!

As for Shirai Kuroko's question, she was even more confused. How people with special abilities were classified was something that she, a person without special abilities, had no idea about.

At this time, she could only turn her head and look at Li Xuan. Now only Li Xuan, the source of her ability, could answer this question.

"It's true that Leizi is now a person with great abilities, and she's only one step away from becoming a superpower. Once she becomes familiar with her abilities and develops them a little, she'll be able to become a superpower."

"Me!?? A psychic!??"

Although she had fantasized about this before, Riri Saten never imagined that she would actually have the chance to become a person with super powers.

"What else? After all, I personally developed your superpowers. Becoming a superpowered person isn't a simple matter. I just want you to be familiar with your own strength. Otherwise, becoming an absolute superpowered person wouldn't be difficult."

Li Xuan would naturally not be stingy when he took action. Rinko Saten was now just like Junko Hokaze, only one step away from becoming a superpower user. And unlike Junko Hokaze, as long as Rinko Saten became familiar with her abilities, it would be easy for her to become a superpower user. Even becoming an absolute power user was not impossible.

"Absolutely powerful!?? Does such a person really exist?"

Most students in Academy City only know about the first five levels of esper users. However, as a esper user, Misaka Mikoto knows that above the esper users are the absolute esper users speculated by researchers.

However, no one could clearly explain how to achieve absolute ability. Misaka Mikoto used to think that this was just a fantasy of researchers. But she didn't expect to hear this word from Li Xuan today.

"What is an absolute ability user?"

Shirai Kuroko, Saten Ruiko, and Hatsuharu Shiori looked at Misaka Mikoto. They had only heard of people with esper abilities, but what was an absolute esper? It seemed quite powerful.

"The Absolute Esper is 1eve16, a being even more powerful than a psychic. However, no one in Academy City has ever become one. Even Accelerator, who is number one, is just a psychic."

"Absolute ability users are nothing more than a researcher's speculation. Someone who listens to the will of God with a body other than God! Who could possibly understand such incomprehensible nonsense?"

When Misaka Mikoto became a psychic and learned about the existence of absolute espers, she, ever the competitive type, dreamed of becoming one herself. However, the researcher only told her this strange, enigmatic question, one she couldn't comprehend at all. To this day, Misaka Mikoto still doesn't understand how someone with absolute espers actually achieves this.

Chapter 709 The Unlucky Robbers

"Isn't this easy to understand? As long as you have some understanding of theology, you will fully understand what kind of existence is the one who listens to the will of God in a non-divine body?"

"Could it be an angel?"

Compared to the others, Saten Ruiko, previously a powerless being, was the most similar in her thinking to ordinary people. As soon as Li Xuanyi mentioned this, she immediately thought, "Isn't this referring to angels?" They stood on either side of God, listening to God's will with bodies other than God's.

"Clever. Academy City's so-called absolute esper corresponds to the magical side of angels."

"But do angels really exist in the world?"

Misaka Mikoto still couldn't believe that angels existed in the world she lived in. Li Xuan was different. He was from another world - a god.

"Why not? If you don't know about it, does that mean it doesn't exist? The higher-ups in Academy City know much more than you do. If there are no magical angels, why would they target them like this?"

Misaka Mikoto remained silent. It seemed that this was indeed the case. Those researchers were so mysterious, they must have known a lot of things that she had no idea about.

"But if magic exists, why haven't I ever encountered it in Academy City?"

"Isn't that natural? Academy City is the headquarters of the scientific faction, so why would magicians come here for no reason? It's just like how few people with special abilities would go to the headquarters of the Roman Catholic Church, the English Puritan Church, or the Russian Orthodox Church."

"So these religious forces are actually magical forces?"

Only then did Misaka Mikoto realize that it wasn't that she had never come into contact with magical forces. On the contrary, she had been exposed to them since she was a child, but her cognition was wrong.

"Naturally, the myths and legends that have been passed down to this day all have their own magical systems behind them."

"Besides, your Academy City's founder, Aleister Crowley, was the most powerful magician and mystic of the 20th century. He profoundly influenced the system of modern magic, and a full fifth of all magicians in the world can be considered his apprentices. Although he later betrayed the magical side and single-handedly supported the scientific side."

Listening to Li Xuan's introduction, Misaka Mikoto, Saten Ruiko, and the others felt like they had opened the door to a new world. Was this world so wonderful? Magic even existed? And the chairman was actually a magician, the strongest magician of the last century.

After a long moment of contemplation, Misaka Mikoto suddenly thought of a question: Li Xuan hadn't mentioned from the beginning that he had brought her and the others to this parallel world. What was the purpose of this future space-time? Li Xuan had been rambling on for a long time, but the most crucial question remained vague and ambiguous.

"Why did you bring us to this parallel world? I want to hear the truth and the facts. Don't fool me."

"As for this problem, let's wait until you solve the problem next door first."

"Next door? What's next to this store? Hatsuharu."

As a member of the Discipline Committee, Kuroko Shirai's sensitivity allowed her to immediately notice the problem.

After hearing this, Hatsuharu Shikiri took out her computer and found out what was happening next door in just a few seconds.

"Kuroko-san, there's a bank branch next door."

"Could it be that?"

Shirai Kuroko turned her gaze to Li Xuan, wanting to confirm whether the situation was as she expected.

"Indeed, there are three criminals robbing the bank next door. If you, Saten, can use your abilities skillfully, you'll easily be able to detect what's happening next door. After all, the atmosphere is almost everywhere on Earth, and gathering intelligence through wind movement is easy."

Although Saten Ruiko's aerodynamic abilities were quite common in Academy City, they were definitely not weak, not to mention that they were developed by Li Xuan, and their precision, control, and versatility were terrifying. Gathering intelligence through the atmosphere was a piece of cake.

After hearing what Li Xuan said, Riri Saten subconsciously used this ability. She suddenly discovered that her ability hardly required the use of calculation formulas. She could use it at will like an instinct. Using calculation formulas would also enhance her abilities.

This is simply a combination of the advantages of people with raw stone abilities and people with ordinary abilities.

"There were indeed three people in the lobby of the bank next door. They stole the cash and were about to escape through the door."

"I see, I understand. Uiharu, let's go! And Onee-sama, as an ordinary student, please don't act rashly. This is our responsibility as the Discipline Committee."

After confirming the information from Saten Ruiko, Shirai Kuroko immediately put one hand on Hatsuharu Shikiri's shoulder and moved the two of them away.

Looking at the two people outside who were already confronting the bandits and calming the crowd, Saten Ruiko and Misaka Mikoto looked at each other in silence. Their friends had all gone out, so how could they still sit still? They immediately stood up and walked towards the door.

Then I saw a gangster kicking a little girl hard in order to escape.

"careful!"

Misaka Mikoto really wanted to take action, but in this situation, her electric shock might hurt the little girl, so she hesitated for a moment.

At this time, Riri Saten took action. A miniature hurricane blew the bandit up directly, and he slammed heavily against the wall and lost consciousness.

"Well done, Saten-kun. That's how you deal with gangsters."

Compared to Riri Saten who was a little dazed because of hurting someone, Misaka Mikoto was quite impressed with her behavior. Riri Saten's attack was not very heavy, which was perfect for such a vicious criminal.

After hearing what Misaka Mikoto said, Saten Ruiko came to her senses. Although she was still a little uncomfortable, she immediately ran over and comforted the little girl.

Misaka Mikoto was not idle either. She took out a game coin from her pocket and fired her signature railgun, blasting the car in front of the two criminals who were trying to escape into the sky.

The two gangsters were so frightened by the car wreckage that passed by that they dared not move. What was the point! They were just robbing a bank, so why did they send the famous esper's super-electric railgun to deal with them? What the hell were they running for?

Why were they so unlucky? In such a huge Academy City, they could encounter one of only seven people with super powers?

At this time, Shirai Kuroko naturally locked them up and handed them over to the discipline committee member in charge of this area.

"Onee-sama, I should have said it before! As ordinary people, you should not interfere! Saten-san was trying to save someone, so that's understandable, but you completely ignored my words!"

Chapter 710: The Discovered Fantasy Hand

"Heizi, isn't this an emergency? Otherwise, by the time you take action, the two criminals will have escaped."

Misaka Mikoto also had something to say. She took action after seeing two criminals trying to rob a car and escape. Kuroko himself was too slow.

After hearing what Misaka Mikoto said, Shirai Kuroko was speechless. As a person with great space ability, Shirai Kuroko's strength is naturally not bad.

The leader, Aoki Yuzuki, is second only to Aleister in terms of mobility. However, in terms of lethality, it is difficult for the metal arrows in his hands to quickly disable someone unless he is ruthless.

The two criminals on the opposite side were just like that. After being hit by several arrows, they were still able to struggle and move with the burst of adrenaline. This gave Misaka Mikoto the opportunity to act.

"Shirai-san, something's wrong!"

Hatsuharu Shikiri, who was over there handing over the task to the discipline committee member who had arrived, came over.

"The ability levels of these three criminals do not match those recorded in Academy City's library."

"What's so strange about that? It's also possible that their abilities have improved recently and they just haven't reported it."

This situation is completely normal. After all, many criminals will conceal their ability improvements in order to carry out their crimes, in order to avoid being caught by Academy City afterwards.

"But their abilities have all improved by more than one level. This is impossible. The school organizes physical examinations every semester. Generally speaking, it's impossible for them to improve by two levels in such a short period of time."

Academy City develops students' abilities, and that's certainly not a charity. Physical examinations are organized and intelligence is collected every semester. Even if students want to hide something, they can't keep it secret for long.

"And I just checked the library, and there have been more and more cases of criminals with abnormally enhanced abilities in the past month."

As someone who entered Academy City with her intelligence processing abilities, Hatsuharu Shikiri quickly noticed something was amiss.

"That being said, there is indeed a problem. Is there something that can significantly enhance the abilities of a person with special abilities?"

After hearing what Hatsuharu Shigeru said, Shirai Kuroko realized that something was wrong. There has indeed been an increasing trend in crimes committed by people with special abilities recently.

"Could that urban legend be true?"

At this time, Riri Saten seemed to have thought of something.

"Oh! Saten-kun, do you have any clues?"

When Shirai Kuroko heard this, his attention shifted to Saten Ruiko.

"I'm not sure if this is true. You know I used to be a person without abilities, so I often searched online for ways to improve my abilities. Then I saw a rumor on an urban legend website about a powerful item that could easily improve abilities, called the Fantasy Hand. There were also a lot of comments about its use under the post. I don't know if it's true or not."

Kimura Haruo has now begun to spread the word about the Fantasy Hand, otherwise there wouldn't be any gangsters using it to enhance their abilities and commit crimes.

Of course, Saten Ruiko had heard of this urban legend, but she didn't believe it. Now that Shirai Kuroko said this, she thought of this matter.

"Is it really possible to have an item that can easily improve abilities?"

Shirogane Kuroko frowned, feeling that this was almost nonsense. How could improving one's abilities be so easy? If it were so easy, then why would students like them need to study so hard?

According to the gods from another world, to improve abilities, one must either optimize the superpower calculation formula or increase computing power. What could one achieve with just one tool?

"It's not impossible!"

At this time, Li Xuan spoke up, wanting to nip the Fantasy Hand incident in the bud.

"Is there really a tool that can easily improve abilities?"

Riri Saten never thought that the urban legend she heard would actually be true, but then she became happy. Although she has become a person with special abilities now, she still has many friends without special abilities. If there really is such a prop, then she can help them.

"Of course there is, but the ability improvement brought by the Fantasy Hand is not as you imagine. It is only temporary."

Li Xuan's words weren't entirely unexpected to Shirai Kuroko. After all, if such a great invention really existed, Academy City's top brass would have already publicized it...

"To put it simply, you should know the Internet! The computing power of a single computer may not be a big deal, but the computing power of the entire Internet is unmatched by any supercomputer."

When Li Xuan said this, Misaka Mikoto, Shirai Kuroko and the others had already thought of the answer.

"Could it be that?!"
