In a hospital in the seventh school district of the academy city, Dr. Akira Akimoto is preparing to start the day's work.

He took off his tweed jacket, changed into a medical white robe, and made a cup of coffee and kept it handy.

While flipping through the medical report sent by the nurse, he took a sip of coffee.

"The Pleiades eye transplant on bed 44 was a great success...... Nagisa Furukawa in bed No. 65 has basically recovered, and he can be discharged from the hospital after the examination today...... It took 12 hours for Mr. Edward's right arm and left leg to be made in bed 77...... Bed No. 89 Saotome Ranma, is he or her? Regarding the treatment plan, it is better to seek the opinions of the family first...... Kindness? Makoto Ito, who was in bed 108, has now died due to nurse Nobi Natsumi carelessly turning off the life-support device? It's so unbelievable! There could be such a mistake! ”

As a man whose motto is "Never abandon a patient no matter what happens", Akimoto felt the anger of detachment at this time. He paced up and down the office like a grumpy lion, and at last he muttered to himself, as if he had made up his mind:

"Then, Nobi Natsumi ...... Deduct this month's bonus! ”

As if feeling a little wrong, Akimoto sat back in his chair and picked up the report again to look at it.

"Well, won't this punishment be too heavy, or deduct yesterday's overtime pay...... No, she was already in the internship, and she also took the initiative to ask for the night shift yesterday, so this kind of thing must be a big blow to her...... She can't lose her faith as a health worker! …… Well, it's better to buy a small gift to comfort her later......"

"Good morning! Dr. Akira Akimoto! ”

With a bang, the office door was violently kicked open.

Appearing at the door was a girl with short brown hair and eyes of the same color.

She was wearing a winter uniform from Tokiwadai Junior High School and a white medical robe.

“…… Mirei Misaka, I've said it many times, don't use your feet when opening the door. ”

Looking at the door that was kicked open, Akimoto's brows furrowed slightly, and then habitually reached out to push his glasses.

However, it was empty.

By the way, from that day on, there was no need for glasses......

Smiling slightly self-deprecatingly, Akimoto asked as he returned his gaze to the report in his hand:

"What's the matter? Don't say anything like 'improve the hospital food', the food for the patients is now carefully prepared by me, which is crucial to their recovery, and it is absolutely not allowed to ......."

"Let's give Misaka a full check-up, Misaka's body is in trouble."

The white-robed girl lazily threw herself into the sofa and interrupted the doctor's words without hesitation.

"Huh? I had been dragging my ...... who didn't want to do the inspection."

Akimoto took his eyes off the report, looked at the girl who was not very energetic for a moment, and then continued to look at his report:

"Didn't you say stupid people don't catch a cold?"

“…… Misaka wasn't kidding. ”

The white-robed girl in front of her was lying on the sofa with a detached expression, muttering indistinctly:

"I only found out yesterday, no matter how much I tried, the defective power of LV3 disappeared completely......"

And when facing the enemy.

"En......"

Akimoto put down the report, looked at Mirei Misaka, who was bored on the sofa, and asked:

"It didn't feel right from the beginning."

"What?"

Meiling raised her head blankly.

"When did you start calling yourself 'Misaka'?"

……

In the empty room, in a huge glass test tube, a girl with short brown hair was immersed naked.

The many tubing connected to the test tube brings together the collected data into a single computer.

The young doctor looked at the report from the computer with a blank face.

The one being tested is one of the "Misaka sisters" who survived an experiment in the school city, originally numbered 10030.

Due to the mutation during the experiment, Misaka 10030 is different from the other Misaka sisters - she is the first to awaken to her self-awareness, not only can she freely enter and exit the Misaka network, but even take the supreme control of the Misaka network.

Defeated Gakuen City NO1 and interrupted the experiment of "Advance to LV6", defeated an external invader who tried to seize the remains of the "Tree Designer", and gained insight into the "Apostolic Cross" plan of the Roman Orthodox Church...... Also, it stopped the invasion of the Roman Orthodox humanoid weapon "Wind Ahead".

Faced with Fan Te in front of the final weapon in the two billion, Misaka 10030 defeated his elite magician army and caused Fan to retreat, but at the same time, he also experienced the night of judgment of the "Passion of the Son of God".

At that time, the Misaka 10030 should have disappeared completely.

However, the people present at the time worked together to "resurrect" Misaka 10030.

What did Dr. Akimoto do with his abilities at that time? Now, even if the doctor himself was asked, he could only prevaricate with an unambiguous answer such as "Well, it is probably to regenerate particles that are exactly the same as the elementary particles that originally made up Misaka 10030, and then let these particles reconstitute Misaka 10030".

So, what about the particles that originally made up Misaka 10030? Or what about the original Misaka 10030?

It must have dissipated into the whole space, and perhaps some of the particles in it have already crossed the ocean to the world that only God knows......

However, Misaka 10030 has not completely disappeared before, so some of the particles are still the same, but they have been restored to their original state by "LV5 Quantum Regeneration".

The point is, what exactly does this "original" refer to?

What is the initial state? At its best? are not accurate enough.

Akira Akimoto can't express it clearly in the existing language, so he can only say the state of "original" in vague terms.

Maybe it's like a computer reinstalling the system. The messy program downloaded before is completely gone.,Only the main system remains.,And the main system after reinstallation is no longer the previous system.,Although it's exactly the same.,But the previous system has been completely deleted.。

It can only be said that this situation is similar, but it is not exactly the same.

The proof is the body data of the Misaka 10030.

All the indicators are normal and there are no problems.

No, its practical "normal" is not enough to describe this data report.

element content, PH value, heart rate, white blood cell ratio...... All the values are the most ideal values that can only be achieved theoretically, and even the body proportions follow the golden ratio exactly.

Healthy to ...... Perfect.

Looking at the report in front of him, an unknown flame ignited in Akimoto's eyes.

"It's ...... It is impossible to be so perfect...... Is this a masterpiece of God......"

As a doctor in its purest form, just as a mathematician would feel beauty from a seemingly boring formula for ordinary people, this perfect health data is the most beautiful in Akimoto's opinion.

"Be sure to save it...... This data ...... Frame it and hang it in the office......"

The doctor clung to the edge of the cardboard with both hands like a child who had received a beloved toy, and did not take his eyes off it for a moment, and then began to walk out like that, ready to go to the store to choose a frame.

“……”

“…？”

“……？！”

“！！！！！！！！！”

The girl who was soaking in the huge test tube slapped her teeth and claws against the wall of the test tube, but the doctor was completely immersed in her own world, so she didn't notice it at all, and just walked away.

I'm afraid I won't even be able to eat lunch if I continue like this!

The girl in the big test tube shouted something with her mouth open, but it seemed that the sound insulation effect of the test tube was not generally good, so she could only be seen screaming silently through the wall of the test tube:

"Don't leave Misaka behind! ――”

……

It was noon at a fast-food restaurant in the Seventh School District. Mai Ye Shen Li, who was in a position on the table, ate a boxed lunch bought from a convenience store outside. This is too cruel for the little waitress trembling in the corner.

"Huh? Today's salmon lunch doesn't seem to be the same as yesterday's, huh? ”

The woman, who was wearing a pale yellow half-sleeved coat and boots even in the store, was now cross-legged and tilting her head by the window to mutter about the lunch box.

Across from Mai Ye sat a quiet girl who looked to be twelve or thirteen years old and wore a fluffy white dress, and this was looking at a movie brochure:

"The C-level radical and harmonious work released by Hong Kong Red Dragon Company...... It's really sweating for them. But I'm really concerned, I need to confirm, huh. What do you think? ”

The Takiju who was accosted was the girl who sat next to her. She was now leaning limply on the couch, her eyes glazed over, and she had no intention of eating.

“…… A signal came from the south-west direction......"

-- They are Items.

As a private force in the academy city, their main task is to prevent the "upper echelons", including the Unified Council, from getting out of control. Just these few people have the position to influence the fate of the entire scientific side.

However, now they are missing one member.

Named Flanda. Seyvin's blonde high school girl has been missing since yesterday.

"Well, let's go over after lunch."

Mai Ye's Shen Li's voice sounded without the slightest hint of anxiety, and his tone was flat as if he was saying something like "going shopping after eating". As she shoved the fish into her mouth, she muttered hatefully:

"Flanda's stupid bastard, I'm causing trouble again, I'll clean her up when I get back......"

Although they both belong to "ITEM", the members still have free time, so Flanda only left a note that said, "I'm going to make some extra money and come back in the evening", and then ran away.

For the whole night, there was no news from Flanda.

SO, IN THE MORNING, JUANQI USED THE INTELLIGENCE NETWORK OF THE DARK DEPARTMENT TO FINALLY FIND OUT THE NEWS THAT FLANDA HAD FALLEN INTO THE HANDS OF "SKILLOUT".

“Skillout…… Armed with a group of incapacitated people? Flanda was careless. ”

Silk Banner likes to say while flipping through the brochure in his hand.

As a member of the dark department of the school city,Living on the verge of life and death every day.,Even if the other party has a numerical advantage,,It's hard to imagine losing in the hands of a group of bad people-if it's going to be defeated so easily.,The dark department is just a level of goods with the bad group.。

But they weren't at all worried about the upcoming battle.

Mai Ye Shen Li,The existence of NO4 among the only seven superpowers in the school city,The ability is "atomic collapse"。

Silk Banner favorite, LV4 great ability, ability "Nitrogen Armor"

After the Takiju Li,The ability is "ability to trace",The most likely person in the school city to become the "eighth person" of the ability.。

It's not surprising that such a combination can crush an army, but if it's only used against bad groups, it feels like it's overkill.

"So, let's go."

casually threw the spoon into the already empty lunch box, Mai Ye Shen Li stood up first:

"A little less intense exercise after a meal is also good for digestion."
