I'm a Pokémon Master from School City (by mistake)

She could tell from the girl's eyes that the girl who had helped her was not lying.

She was innocent and kind; she couldn't allow the girl in front of her, who had already helped her once and given her a good meal, to fall into danger.

"Thank you for your kindness." Index finished the last bite of her food, stood up, and said, "Thank you for your hospitality. May the Lord bless you."

He got up and left, even though it seemed very unethical.

But only Index herself knew that it was for other people's good.

"Are you sure you don't need it?" Chiyo didn't try to stop her. She took a sip of tea and said, "I'm a Level 4 Ability User, and my abilities are very special. There's almost nothing I can't do."

"So what if it means heading to hell?"

Index smiled gently, and without waiting for Chiyo's reply, she turned and left.

It's very light and very fast.

In the blink of an eye, they had left the restaurant and disappeared into the crowd.

Chiyo, holding her teacup and looking out the window, soon noticed two figures with similarly peculiar attire appearing and disappearing in the crowd.

'Magician...'

'Area 11 is truly a peculiar society.'

Honestly, if this outfit were worn in mainland China in my previous life, it would definitely turn heads wherever it went, with a 50% or even 100% head-turning rate.

But nobody pays attention here.

It's not that the main characters have a built-in "ordinary, common" clothing buff that means they won't attract attention no matter what they wear.

Rather, as part of Area 11, this place also carries the characteristics of Area 11.

Otaku culture, or cosplay.

Here, you'll find otaku who dress up in their favorite characters' clothes to go out, not specifically to attend events but just for normal outings.

So even if an ordinary person saw them, they would most likely mistake them for otaku.

Chiyo, however, knew very well that these two were not otaku.

After paying the bill and walking outside, the two people were no longer in sight.

Chiyo wasn't in a hurry, because she knew the plot and all she had to do was wait.

Perhaps I don't need to keep paying attention to those two people.

Chiyo strolled around the streets for a while longer before returning to the hospital.

No one came today. It wasn't the ghost that came to visit, but they did say that after she left, Mikoto and Kuroko came by briefly, found out what happened, and waited in the ward for a while. Then it seemed like the disciplinary committee had something to do, so Kuroko left, and Mikoto left after waiting for a while as well.

I did put some bouquets of flowers by Chiyo's bedside, hoping that she would get better soon.

"It really is..."

Chiyo shook her head. She didn't like receiving such gifts from others; flowers were not as good as fruit baskets.

But it's a fruit basket from Japan.

just forget it.

The sentiment behind this is the most important thing.

"Speaking of which," Chiyo suddenly remembered and asked, "Doctor, do you know where Kamijou Touma, that spiky-haired boy, lives?"

"Him?" Mingtu Zhuihun was no stranger to Touma, but he asked with some surprise, "Why are you asking about him?"

“Something came up,” Chiyo said. “We need to know exactly where he lives.”

It's not that I want to guide Touma to get involved in the sister's incident, but rather that I need to make some preparations for the future plot of A Certain Magical Index.

Don't follow Index and her two friends, but still know exactly where the future stage is.

"exist...."

For regulars like Touma, the hospital has his specific address listed.

Without asking Chiyo the reason, the Soul Chaser of the Underworld directly told her Touma's specific address.

Then he left.

Chiyo was a little tired after walking all day, so she went to bed to rest.

The matter of the trusteeship hasn't completely ended yet, and Chiyo doesn't have any plans to go to other worlds for the time being.

I'll take a nap first and then decide which world to go to tomorrow night.

More importantly, she is now waiting for news about her sisters.

At night...

Chiyo woke up.

'Power outage?'

It was the height of summer, but Chiyo wasn't the kind of person who couldn't live without air conditioning.

But once you get used to the coolness of air conditioning, the sudden absence of it makes people feel unbearably hot.

It's normal to wake up because of the heat.

"This is really rare."

Unable to bear the heat, Chiyo went to the window and opened it.

The cloaked dragon happened to be at the window as well.

Chiyo glanced at the time and asked, "Nothing's up?"

The cloaked dragon nodded.

'Impossible, right?'

Chiyo felt something was off.

She remembered that the sister whose experiment ended was number 10032. If she remembered correctly, according to the calculations of her previous life, based on the set time, it would take Accelerator 55 years to kill one sister a day, 27 years to kill two a day, and 5 years to kill ten a day. According to the plot progress, she should have been in that position on the day of the experiment 10032.

Accelerator kills an average of fifty sisters every day.

Even if the initial phase involves a lot of mowing, before conducting experiments outside the lab, Accelerator must kill a hundred sisters every day inside the lab.

It can be said that during the experimental phase, Accelerator's daily life consisted mainly of...

He eats, sleeps, kills his sister, and given his later cat-and-mouse game, he basically has no time to do anything else.

Why isn't it here tonight?

Did they lose track of him? Or was it just to introduce me to Accelerator?

What exactly is the upside-down man behind the scenes?

Chiyo was a little unsure.

"Speaking of which, tonight's power outage is pretty ridiculous." Chiyo looked out the window at the complete darkness. It seemed that it wasn't just the hospital that was without power; a large area of ​​Academy City was also without power.

In modern cities, electricity is a vital resource, and ensuring a stable power supply is crucial for the smooth functioning of modern society.

Well, of course, the situation may be different in some places in capitalist societies, but generally speaking, the power will not be cut off.

Having been in Academy City for so long, I have basically never seen such a large-scale power outage.

"Hmm...if it's not a natural disaster or a problem with the power plant."

Chiyo thought for a moment and said, "Then there's only one other possibility."

Mikoto seems to have cornered Touma Kamijou on a bridge, and then a powerful lightning strike caused a large-scale power outage in Academy City.

"Was it thundering?" Chiyo asked Bian Yinlong.

The cloaked dragon nodded.

"Oh~ That's it."

Chiyo leaned against the window, feeling the summer breeze and trying to find some coolness inside.

'So, the plot of A Certain Magical Index starts tonight?'

Chapter 121 The Gears of A Certain Magical Index

"Oh my gosh! Big sister, you are amazing!!!"

What beauty and skincare products are you using?

In the off-campus dormitory of Tokiwadai, Mikoto and Kuroko looked at Chiyo with envy.

This visible improvement in skin quality is extremely appealing to girls of this age.

After all, this is reality, not an animation or comic.

Girls with naturally good qualities also face the challenges of adolescence at this age.

A vibrant life force is a gift of youth, but it also has its side effects. Active metabolism leads to increased sebum production, which in turn causes various skin problems such as acne.

Both Mikoto and Kuroko are people who pay a lot of attention to skincare and beauty. Although the school does not allow students to wear makeup, they will still find ways to put something on their faces.

After all, what girl doesn't love to look beautiful?

Moreover, girls in Japan pay a lot of attention to their appearance, and makeup is an essential and necessary thing for them.

She's the kind of person who has to put on makeup even when going out to throw away the trash.

So rules are rules, and reality is reality. Which of these rich young ladies can truly go out without makeup?

Both Mikoto and Kuroko diligently take care of their skin, but they also face just as many skin problems as teenage girls.

Chiyo, for example, has a bare face but wears light makeup, the kind of light makeup that's hard to notice, and her skin suddenly looks very smooth and flat.

Of course they care!

“Oh~” Chiyo shrugged and said, “The doctor said it was one of the results of that treatment.”

Upon hearing this, both of them fell silent.

They felt no envy or jealousy whatsoever; they all thought it was only right.

Mikoto even felt that she couldn't forgive herself if Chiyo's skin got worse.

It was because of her that Chiyo suffered so much and endured so much pain.

She still can't forget Chiyo's body, which was almost entirely covered in blood and gore, and she can't forget Chiyo being wrapped up like a mummy with bandages all over her body.

It's really good as it is now.

Seeing that the two of them were once again filled with self-blame, Chiyo waved her hand and said, "Don't blame yourselves. This is not only the duty of the disciplinary committee member, but also the responsibility of being an older sister. I think you would have made the same choice as me if you were in my shoes."

"But that would be too dangerous!" Mikoto said, sounding both guilty and reproachful. "Even if you're the older sister, you should think about yourself, shouldn't you?"

"At first, he said he didn't want to get to know me."

“Yeah~” Chiyo shrugged and said, “I don’t want to know you, but I can’t avoid you. I guess that’s just fate.”

"If God gave me another chance like this."

Chiyo paused abruptly as she looked at Mikoto.

The two women suddenly became tense and conflicted at this point. There were things they wanted to hear and things they didn't want to hear, or rather, what they wanted to hear and didn't want to hear were the same thing.

"I will still do it this way."

Chiyo walked ahead of the two, saying, "After all, one calls me 'Big Sister,' and the other calls me 'Sister.' I guess that's just fate."

Mikoto and Kuroko watched Chiyo's figure.

Someone who would risk their life to protect someone just for that one title.

"Speak of it."

Chiyo didn't want things to stay like this. She turned to look at the two of them and said, "The power outage last night was really strange. I heard that there was a thunderstorm that caused the power outage in some place. Do you know about it?"

"I didn't know that," Hei Zi said. "It's really rare for lightning to cause such a large-scale power outage."

She crossed her arms and said earnestly, "It feels like the effect of an ability user."

"Hehehe~ I don't know either." Mikoto said, feigning ignorance, "But thunder and stuff does seem to work, right?"

"That kind of lightning is really powerful," Chiyo remarked, seemingly impressed.
