My avatar is the heroine

Kuro-tomi shrugged: "Even if it exists, it's not a good thing. You know, everything comes at a price. Someone with no ability gains great power, and even if nothing seems wrong on the surface, they might have lost something unknowingly."

"Kurotomi must have experienced this firsthand," Misaka said softly, noticing the snack Kurohime was casually holding.

"So you asked me out today mainly to go shopping together, right?"

"Yes, it's rare for us to get together and relax."

Kuroko nodded, confirming that she had been accepted by the main group of four and had become an indispensable member.

If A Certain Scientific Railgun were to air now, there might be five female leads. Uh… she probably wouldn't qualify as a female lead. It's hard to avoid a plot point involving "Soul's gender" in the future.

The shopping mall—a familiar scene.

"Void Explosion?"

Kurohime patted his forehead, barely managing to remember what had happened.

This is yet another incident caused by the Phantasm. Although Harumi Kiyama created Phantasm only to save some children and had no malicious intent, the series of chain reactions it brought about has caused considerable harm.

Among those who obtain the ability to manipulate emotions, there are countless freaks. After being discriminated against by ability users for a long time, they suddenly become stronger and have the opportunity to change their lives. How could they not cause some trouble?

"By the way, has there been any fatal case recently?" Kurohime pondered for a moment, then looked up and asked.

"Yes, the explosion. Kuroko is still helping out there because of it, so he probably won't be here for a while."

She had just answered the call in early spring when she suddenly received a phone call. She walked to the side and answered it, and her expression immediately changed slightly.

"What? The next target is here?"

"..."

That's such a coincidence.

"I'm sorry, Misaka-senpai, Kurome-senpai... senpai? Please help me with the evacuation work. Ruiko will take refuge."

Kuroko sighed: "No problem, but I think the enemy might put the explosives in some unexpected places."

"Hmm?" Chu Chun blinked.

Anyway, let's begin.

Kurohime didn't want things to develop like they did in the original story, as that was too unstable, so she decided to go find the child with the explosives first.

As the crowd began to disperse, Kurohime separated from Yukino, and they ran quickly inside the building.

Then, at the back door of the building, Kurohime saw a man wearing glasses and a cute little girl.

"Listen, give this frog doll to the sister with the flower in her hair, okay? If you do, I'll buy you more candy." Several candies were placed in the little girl's hand.

"understood."

The girl happily hugged the doll, preparing to look for someone inside the building.

But in the next instant, a slightly wicked smile appeared in front of him.

"What a coincidence, I actually saw it."

Chapter 203 Wrong Target

Upon seeing the girl who suddenly appeared, the young man panicked for a moment, then forced a smile onto his face.

"Who are you and why are you here?"

"You don't need to know who I am, but... you gave her a bomb, right?"

He leisurely took out the frog and tossed it into an empty area in the center of the hall. The next moment, the man had already launched a void explosion.

With a bizarre contraction like a black hole, a vast amount of energy was released.

With a push of his thumb, the blade swiftly emerged from its sheath. With a powerful swing in mid-air, the fleeting blade unleashed a powerful shockwave.

However, although the blade light was very strong, the attack was quite concentrated. Faced with the explosion, she had no choice but to pick up the little girl and teleport, appearing more than ten meters away.

After the smoke cleared, a large area was found to be completely destroyed.

Its power was somewhat extraordinary, but fortunately it protected the little girl, while Kurohime herself suffered only minor injuries.

"System, my exaggerated ability to match things must have been noticed by the Sky Retrace, right? Like some of my previous actions, are you sure there are no side effects?"

[The footage has been distorted, so the information obtained from the hovering loop is not entirely accurate. Furthermore, Aleister will subconsciously ignore any uncertainties, as originally planned.]

"That's good. It seems I can do whatever I want with my abilities from now on."

Although the explosion was mainly aimed at Kuroko, the immense power still impacted the young man. He grabbed his bag and ran out without looking back. Even after falling to the ground, he hurriedly stood up, completely ignoring the pain in his legs.

Of course, he assumed that the two girls were seriously injured or dead, which brought an excited smile to his face.

"See? This is the consequence. No matter who you are, no matter what kind of people you are, you will pay the price for how you treated me back then."

Just as he was about to rush out the door, Black Eyes lightly leaped over from above and landed in front of him.

"Where do you want to run to?"

"What, you..."

"Why am I not injured? Sorry, your abilities are no match for me."

He was indeed injured, on his back, and his clothes were slightly torn. However, there was no need to worry; Nightingale could heal such a minor injury with a single beam of light. Moreover, Black Eyes' body, aided by the medication, possessed astonishing regenerative abilities.

"hateful……"

The man's expression suddenly twisted into a grimace. He glanced cautiously at the bag, then broke into an ugly grin: "This doll was given to that little girl by someone else, not me!"

As he spoke, he suddenly pulled out a spoon, as if to activate his own power.

hum-

A flash of cold light, and the spoon broke in two.

It was too fast; he didn't even see how Kuroko moved her hand.

"As expected, it seems you're still not giving up."

The petite girl in front of him took a few steps and approached him at an exaggerated speed.

With a horizontal swing of his knife, a faint mark appeared on his neck as the blade flashed.

“If I weren’t hesitant to kill people, you would be dead already. But handing you over to the police won’t change anything. Once you’re taken there, you can forget about any future.”

Blood flowed from his neck, so fast that only a thin line of cold light could be seen, making him wonder if he was hallucinating.

But he was indeed injured.

The girl is a monster, an unbelievable monster.

At that moment, Misaka Mikoto also ran over, her expression slightly taken aback.

"What happened? I just heard an explosion. Could the killer already be gone?"

“That’s right, he’s the murderer.” Kuroko nodded.

"Oh, I see."

Without much hesitation, Misaka rushed forward and slapped the man across the face, then kicked him away with her right foot.

boom!

"you……"

Fueled by anger and resentment, he still wanted to fight back, but Kuroto sighed and said, "Don't you realize the situation? The one who just kicked you was the infamous Railgun, a Level 5 esper. If you resist, your life will definitely not be guaranteed."

"A super...railgun?"

The man stood there for a moment, then dejectedly lowered his hand.

"It's always like this. Every time I try to do something, someone always comes out and stops me."

“Yes.” Kuroko shrugged. “This world is just so hopeless. Although hard work can change things, if you work in the wrong direction, the ending can be very tragic.”

According to Kurohime's understanding, the opponent's ability comes from the Imagine Breaker, a special piece of music that can enhance ability levels. Kiyama Harumi used the Imagine Breaker to create a vast network, making herself a hybrid ability user. Of course, the price to pay is that those who use the ability will lose consciousness.

According to the plot, Ruiko is destined to go through this ordeal.

As a Level 0 person with no abilities, Ruiko always envied the existence of abilities. Naturally, after obtaining the Imagine Breaker, she went through a period of struggle before finally succumbing to the temptation of power.

She was filled with regret after her companion, whom she had manipulated, lost consciousness first. The whole ordeal also made her realize that friends are far more important than ability.

"It seems best not to stop it."

Saten Ruiko needs this to change things.

However, Kurohime will inevitably be present when dealing with Kiyama Harumi and the Fantasy Beast. The situation will be extremely critical, and no mistakes can be tolerated.

The man on the ground was utterly furious. His abilities had reached the level of a powerful esper; logically, operating so stealthily, he shouldn't have been helpless even if he encountered a formidable enemy. If the girl before him was A Certain Scientific Railgun, he could easily defeat her, but who was this black-haired girl?

Is his current ability really that bad? He can't even beat an ordinary girl?

So, is this guy in front of me also LV5?

No one else has this kind of luck.

After the matter was resolved, the security guards took the criminal into custody.

Misaka was somewhat surprised by Kurome's ability. She definitely couldn't protect a little girl in such a close-range explosion unless a railgun was used to dispose of the explosives beforehand.

Anyway, that's settled.

He yawned lazily, as if there had been no battle just now, then patted the little girl's head and smiled slightly.

"Big sister is so cute." As if infected by her charm, the little girl, who had recovered from her shock, stood on tiptoe and touched Hei Tong's head.

"..."

Everyone left the building, where the entrance was now surrounded by security guards.

After reporting the relevant intelligence, the system, which hadn't issued any missions for a long time, finally popped up a new mission.

[Main Quest: Participate in one major storyline event.]

[Mission Reward: A unique combat-type clone found only in this world]

---Dividing line---

P.S.: I've been searching for anime series these past two days, and it's really frustrating because most of them don't connect well with what comes next. If all else fails, I'll just make a bunch of backups and roll the dice.

Chapter 204 is two levels higher than the data.

"Unique in this world... combat-type clones."

This unique feature of this world was already known: a person was chosen from the Railgun world as a clone, and naturally, the genuine and the counterfeit coexist in one world.

As for combat power, it will never be weaker than daily type, meaning it is at least a level 3 ability user.

However, considering the combat power of clones like Kurohime and Rikka, the role of a level 3 ability user is probably not very significant, so the system will most likely provide level 4 or 5.

In other words, they must be at least at the level of the Black Shots; otherwise, compared to other clones, they would seem somewhat useless.

"Let's wait and see. I have a feeling it will be different from the previous ones."

It would be fun if it were someone like Misaka Mikoto (Railgun). Of course, if it really were Misaka Mikoto, it would naturally become the target of hentai (perverted) trolls.

……

A few days later.

"Ah, it's so hot, but eating shaved ice at a time like this is just perfect."

Holding a bowl of watermelon-flavored shaved ice that looked delicious, Yukino was enjoying a rare moment of leisure and happily put the ice cream on top into her mouth.

Mmm, delicious.

"Wow, who is this? Is he your friend?"

The early spring, who had rushed over, opened its eyes wide in surprise.

"This is Kurome, or rather, another clone of Kurome. You can also call her Yukino, or Yukinoshita Yukino."

Although the LV5 ability was reported very efficiently, it wasn't enough for the entire Academy City to know about it in such a short time. Although they've been friends for a while, Haru and Ruiko still don't know Kurome's ability.

"Another clone?"

"Yes, my superpower is creating clones, which means I can have different bodies. The me you see now is no different from the one from back then."

"Huh, is that so? That's unbelievable."

In early spring, she silently compared Ruiko and her in her mind and realized that both of them had long, straight black hair.

at this time……
