Anime, Girlfriend Shokuhou Misaki.

Misaka Mikoto grabbed Shirai Kuroko's arm, looking at her junior with teary eyes.

"help me."

Shirai Kuroko let out a long sigh.

"My dear sister, I'm sorry, you'll have to pray for yourself. I have something to say to this man."

"If you rush back now, there's still a chance you can make it back to your dorm on time."

Misaka Mikoto said no more.

Because she knew very well that her junior schoolmate would never refuse her request unless absolutely necessary.

In that case, she really had no choice but to rush back as fast as she could and leave the rest to fate.

Her face contorted with grief and indignation, and she took a step forward, ready to run back.

"In that case, do you want me to help you, Misaka-san?"

"You can get to the outside of the schoolyard in an instant."

"In that case, if you rush back, you should be able to make it in time."

A figure blocked Misaka Mikoto's path, and the face of Haramura Makoto, who had just been so deserving of a beating in Misaka Mikoto's eyes, was magnified infinitely.

"Can you really travel that far?"

The questioning voice came from Shirai Kuroko.

She knew that Makoto Haramura was a Level 5, but she was only a Level 4, and her maximum accurate movement distance was only eighty meters.

Are superpowered individuals really that much more powerful than those with extraordinary abilities?

"Actually, if you want, I could send you out of Academy City right now without any problem."

What a joke, Makoto Haramura doesn't have any superpowers.

He possesses the power of a higher realm.

With his magic, he can instantly reach any place on this planet.

However, without the magic mark, the accuracy might be problematic.

But distance has never been a problem.

"Really?"

Misaka Mikoto hesitated, looking both somewhat incredulous and hesitant.

Believe it or not, it's up to you. Anyway, I won't be the one who gets punished for being late.

Makoto Haramura, who was originally by the river, suddenly appeared in front of the two women, looking completely indifferent.

"This……"

Misaka Mikoto's hesitation was very obvious.

On one hand, there's her own safety and the freedom she'll have for the next period of time; on the other hand, there's the question of how much she can trust this man she's just met.

After hesitating for a few seconds, freedom and personal safety ultimately weighed on the scales, and he nodded.

"Please return it to me. Let's save the outcome of this competition for next time."

Misaka Mikoto gritted her teeth, as if she had suffered a great injustice.

Makoto Haramura, too lazy to argue with Misaka Mikoto any longer, stretched out his large hand and waved it at her.

"Even at this point, you're still being stubborn. You've already used up most of your tricks, haven't you?"

"Did it have any effect on me?"

"Wait, what are you doing sticking your hand out like that?"

Just then, Shirai Kuroko suddenly interrupted.

His entire body stood directly between Haramura Makoto and Misaka Mikoto, like a wall, separating them and glaring angrily at Haramura Makoto.

Moreover, the level of anger was quite high, even higher than when Shirai Kuroko questioned him yesterday.

"Is that even a question? Didn't Miss Misaka ask me to take her back? Of course, there will be physical contact."

"You yourself are a spatial ability user, don't you know best? How can I send her back without physical contact?"

Makoto Haramura muttered helplessly.

He knew that Shirai Kuroko was obsessed with Misaka Mikoto, but he didn't expect it to be to this extent.

Even normal contact with the opposite sex makes her act so neurotic.

"How could I possibly let you shake hands with my older sister? What if you corrupt her?"

Shirai Kuroko looked completely righteous and shameless.

"Stop when it's appropriate!"

"Crackling and popping, ahhhhhh—"

Just as Shirai Kuroko was about to say something more, a burst of lightning flashed wildly, and Shirai Kuroko collapsed to the ground, her body going limp.

"My sister's electric shocks... are still... still so fierce..."

"Ignore this guy, just get me out of here."

Suddenly, a small hand was shoved into Makoto Haramura's hand, and Misaka Mikoto's expression was full of eagerness.

"it is good."

Makoto Haramura raised his eyebrows, magic flowed through his body, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

"Well then, Misaka-san, have a pleasant journey."

Misaka Mikoto in front of them vanished instantly, and the space that was originally for three people instantly became for two.

Shirai Kuroko, who had been slumped on the ground, slowly propped herself up, her eyes filled with rage as she glared at Haramura Makoto.

"You actually...you actually dared to hold...my sister's hand."

"All right."

"Stop talking nonsense to me. Just tell me what you want to ask. I'm free today, but I won't be available if you contact me again later."

Completely ignoring the gaze directed at him by Shirai Kuroko, Haramura Makoto took a step back.

"Tch... I'll settle the score with you next time..."

Upon hearing Haramura Makoto's words, Shirai Kuroko finally remembered why she had come here.

He forcefully suppressed the frustration on his face and patted the dust off his clothes that had gotten on them when he collapsed on the ground.

"Are you willing to tell me now?"

"It depends on the problem. There's no point in arguing with you all."

Makoto Haramura shrugged.

"It's unrealistic to answer all your questions, right?"

"That's true."

Shirai Kuroko gave Haramura Makoto a disdainful look, then sighed.

"Then let me ask you this: Do you know the inside story of how 'Scorpio' wants to dominate all the school districts?"

"To be honest, whether it's the disciplinary committee members or the security guards, they all have a pretty good impression of the Scorpio group, which is a powerless armed group."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't have let you off so easily before."

"But that's precisely why Scorpio's sudden actions caught us so off guard."

Shirai Kuroko certainly understood what Haramura Makoto meant, so she separated the name "Scorpio" and Haramura Makoto from each other in her writing.

At most, they'd just include him as someone who knew the inside story.

As for what she just said, that the disciplinary committee members and security guards have a good impression of "Scorpios," that is indeed true.

Compared to other powerless armed groups that are constantly causing trouble, the "Scorpios" feel like a group of teammates to them.

Within the jurisdiction of "Scorpio", not only are there no cases of thugs bullying female students, but many dark things are also kept under control.

Therefore, within the sphere of Scorpio's management, they are quite at ease.

Like Shirai Kuroko, there was a period last year when she was so bored she was practically rolling on the floor.

That's why Scorpio's sudden outburst caught everyone off guard.

Even now, despite the huge trouble that "Scorpio" has caused them, she still has a fairly good impression of Makoto Haramura.

Otherwise, why do you think Misaka Mikoto seems to trust Haramura Makoto so much?

Yesterday, when Haramura Makoto faced Shirai Kuroko, he had already captured her but didn't do anything, unlike other delinquents who would take the opportunity to vent their anger. This made Misaka Mikoto have a pretty good impression of Haramura Makoto as Shokuhou Misaki's boyfriend.

Today they're here under the guise of avenging Shirai Kuroko, but they're really just here to fight for fun.

"So it really is that matter."

Makoto Haramura shrugged helplessly.

"Isn't the unification of 'Scorpio' a good thing for you? At least you won't have to worry about those delinquents anymore, right?"

"Stop changing the subject."

Shirai Kuroko looked displeased.

“Scorpio has become the dominant force, making us suspect that Scorpio’s previous composure was all an act.”

"The main problem is that when 'Scorpio' was pretending to be innocent, he was hiding too much strength. He actually has so many ability users. How can anyone believe that 'Scorpio' doesn't have ulterior motives?"

Chapter 177 Reasons

As we all know, the majority of the armed groups without ability are people without ability. Even if there are one or two people with ability, they are mostly only at Level 1.

So, these petty thugs are indeed a nuisance to the disciplinary committee members and security guards, but they're not really a big deal.

The problem is the power that Scorpio has displayed in the last two days.

Let's leave aside the large number of Level 2 and Level 3 levels for now.

Surprisingly, a member who appeared to be Level 4 was found inside.

This really makes one wonder if Scorpio's previous behavior was for ulterior motives.

However, the only thing that could comfort them was that the Scorpio did not kill anyone in this struggle.

At most, it's just a serious injury.

"You don't need to worry about that. The way 'Scorpio' has always operated is how it will operate in the future."

"From now on, there probably won't be any thugs causing you trouble for no reason."

Makoto Haramura waved his hand, and with a light slash of his long sword across the space in front of him, a dark gash was created.

"Some things are useless to say; you have to prove them with reality."

"So it doesn't matter whether you believe it or not."

With one foot halfway into the crevice, Makoto Haramura seemed to suddenly remember something, turning his head to speak to Kuroko Shirai, who was still somewhat stunned.

"By the way, you don't need to be too stressed. The order will be issued soon. Just wait a little while."

As soon as he finished speaking, Makoto Haramura vanished from the scene.

Only Shirai Kuroko remained, standing silently in place.

"The order will come down soon? Could it be..."

Upon understanding Haramura Makoto's meaning, Shirai Kuroko's pupils dilated instantly, and her brows furrowed. However, her tone seemed much more relieved.

"It's an order from above."

To be honest, that's how she came to understand.

After all, there were times before when powerless armed groups wanted to unify Academy City.

I've heard from my senior classmates that there are times when even they can't handle things.

However, those incapable armed groups vanished completely by the next day.
