There is a building in the school city that has no windows and doors.

This building is made of a special building material that can absorb and diffuse the high heat and shock waves generated by a simple nuclear explosion, making it the strongest fortress in the school city.

Since there are no passageways, stairs, elevators, or ventilation holes, it is necessary to have the assistance of a person with space ability to enter and exit the building.

At this time, in this windowless building, a "human" stands quietly in it.

No.

To say that he is human is not true.

He was like a man and like a woman.

Like an adult and like a child.

Like a saint and like a sinner.

Maybe it's a demon god.

Just from his appearance, it is really difficult to judge what kind of "person" he is.

He's the real head of the school city-the general president.,Aresta. Crowley.

He was in a dimly lit room, which was very large and had a chill.

In the center is a large glass cylinder filled with a bright red liquid.

The cylinder connects countless cables and pipes of all sizes, which cover the floor and connect the instruments on the walls.

The red and green lights of the dashboard, in this unlit room, seem to twinkle like stars in the night sky.

He floated upside down in a cylinder.

The green gown swayed silently in the liquid, and the long striped silver hair wrapped around the gown.

"The signal of the empty loop is blocked...... Is it? Interesting. ”

He whispered alone.

What Aresta used to monitor the entire school city was a loopback of up to 50 million nanobots scattered throughout the school city.

Xia Qianshi shielded the signals of these nanobots, which made him blind in a sense.

But just because you can't see it doesn't mean you can't analyze it.

After Xia Qianshi participated in so many big events, he finally came into the eyes of Aresta.

"Then let me test you in the easiest way possible."

With that, Aresta gave an order.

……

……

In the Institute of Pathological Analysis of the Mizuho Mechanism, there is a vast underground space.

"Da Da Da-"

In the sound of rapid footsteps, Mikoto Misaka was running rapidly.

"Boom ————!"

A pillar of incandescent light slammed through the steel wall beside her, and the blazing light destroyed everything and shot towards Mikoto Misaka!

“——！”

At the last moment, Mikoto Misaka's body flashed with a faint electric light, and the electromagnetic force and the steel wall next to her created a gravitational force, causing her to complete an incredible dodge in an instant, narrowly avoiding the incandescent pillar of light.

"Boom ————!"

The aftermath of the explosion spread through the small space, and Mikoto Misaka, who was already weakened, was flipped over, adding another scrape to her delicate skin.

Brown eyes stared at the large hole in the wall, where a figure gradually became clear as the smoke and dust were carried away by the circulating air.

"Cut, you actually dodged again, are you a monkey jumping up and down?"

Coming out of the smoke and dust with these words was a woman with fluffy brown hair, and she had a troubled expression on her face.

"Honestly, don't you just let me? It won't hurt at all, it can free you in an instant, so why bother to escape like this? Yes...... You don't think you're going to make it alive this time, do you? ”

As if stimulated by what she had said, she covered her mouth and let out a very unbridled laugh.

"Mai Ye Shen Li ......"

Mikoto Misaka gritted her teeth and stood up.

The other party's ability is obviously the fourth-ranked 'Atomic Collapse' among the seven levels of the school city.

Although she is one place lower than her, it is because the practicality of her ability is relatively high, and in terms of destructive power alone, her 'Super Electromagnetic Cannon' is lower than the opponent's 'Atomic Collapse'......

If you usually face each other, it will inevitably be a vicious battle, not to mention that you are still in such a physical condition......

Before she was one-on-one with Mai Ye, she had experienced a series of fierce battles, and now it can be said that she is scarred, almost to the point that she can't even release a 'super electromagnetic cannon'.

The form is already very grim.

"What about your companions?" Mikoto Misaka vigilantly looked around, and the reason why she was injured was because the other party sent three members to fight with her in turn.

"I sent to support the other side, otherwise I would have killed you in the middle of the road by relying on the lock behind the taki, so why should I chase you in person? Well...... But that's fine. ”

As if he was about to taste delicious prey, Mai Ye Shenli stretched out his tongue and licked his lips, splitting his lips in a huge arc, revealing his white teeth:

"Just because of the breadth of application of the ability and the lack of benefits it brings, I was sentenced to fourth, and you is the third?"

"It's really unpleasant!!"

"If I tear that face of yours to shreds here, it means I'm stronger than you?!!"

"Boom ————!"

As soon as the words fell, they were suspended beside her, like two light bulb-like points of light, suddenly emitting two intense rays!

Although he was so angry that his forehead flashed with lightning when Mai Ye's words were sharp, Mikoto Misaka also knew her current situation, and when the incandescent pillar of light attacked, she did not hesitate to dodge to the side.

"Hello? What's going on?! ”

"Don't keep hiding? Come face to face with me! Don't even have the courage to 1VS1? You guts monkey! ”

While constantly attacking Mikoto Misaka with his ability, Maino Shenli let out a small sound like a collapse in his mouth:

"Ah, I see, you know you're no match for me? So dare to run away, right? Aha......"

"Poof—"

An uncontrollable whisper suddenly sounded, which was particularly loud in this space.

"-Who?!"

Maino Shenli stopped the bombardment and raised his head with a gloomy face, and Mikoto Misaka also took advantage of this brief respite to look towards the source of the sound.

It was in the dead end of a steel beam overhead, and they wouldn't have noticed it if it weren't for the laughter.

However, at this time, there was clearly a man in a white robe squatting on it.

"I'm sorry."

Xia Qianshi, who had been hiding on it to watch the play, said with a smile that he couldn't help but smile: "Originally, I wasn't going to appear until the critical moment...... However, I couldn't help it. ”

He turned his head to look at Mai Yeshen, who had a cold face, and blurted out a sentence:

"This aunt, you're too thick-skinned, aren't you? I've never seen anyone so brazen! ”

"Flutter-"

Mikoto Misaka smiled.

"Squeak—"

The veins on Mai Ye's forehead made a cracking sound.
