Comprehensive: Beginning with the Killer Queen

"Tsk, you boring idiots..."

Accelerator, leaning on a cane, walked out of the convenience store, turned his head with some disdain, and glanced at the clock near the store door.

It's already eleven o'clock at night.

For an Academy City where 80% of the population are students, there are hardly any people on the streets right now, and the occasional people passing by are adults going to a pub together.

Many stores that are closed during the day are also lit up, making this a true adult area.

Apart from the bad boys who had long left school or those with special abilities who had fallen into the dark side of the city, there were basically no young people to be seen.

But Accelerator didn't stay here because he enjoyed the fun of the dark side or got addicted to alcohol or drugs.

Despite his vicious appearance, his hobbies are just like those of an ordinary student. He is only obsessed with canned coffee.

The reason he was outside at this time was very simple.

——Because he is homeless.

As the first one and due to his own special circumstances, Accelerator has always lived alone in a rented apartment.

But although this will gain freedom, it will also inevitably come at a price.

The attention brought by the title of No. 1 is unparalleled.

As the second-in-command, Kakine Teigumo was in charge of the school's dark organization and even had the power to fight against a single director, but he still needed to go through a plan to cause the entire board of directors to collapse in order to take over.

This kind of power exists in the upper class and also in the lower class.

I don’t know how many powerless people have come forward one after another, using all sorts of means to challenge Accelerator.

But this kind of overestimating one's own capabilities only left behind a group of idiots whose limbs were torn off, further spreading Accelerator's notoriety.

However, being unable to defeat the bad guys head-on doesn’t mean they will give up. Rather, more than 80% of those who fall to this point are simply scum.

Therefore, this was not the first time that Accelerator's apartment had been vandalized while he was away.

This time, because he had stayed in the hospital for a while, when he returned, his house had been visited by countless people.

Sofas, beds, windows, even wardrobes, and even the door itself, have all become worthless debris that would be rejected if dragged to the garbage dump.

Everywhere was covered in obscene words written in bright red paint, and even though Accelerator didn't care about the living conditions, it was a little unbearable.

He pulled a can of coffee from the bag in his hand and tried to open it, but because one of his hands was still supported by a crutch, he failed after several attempts.

Accelerator was getting more and more irritated. He walked to the wall and leaned against it. After putting down his crutches, he opened the pull ring with both hands.

"Click——"

As he sipped the coffee in his hand and looked at the crutch beside him, his face became increasingly gloomy.

In the previous experiment, after being defeated by Roland, he could no longer use his abilities, so even with the most advanced medical technology, he could only slowly recover from his injuries and could only walk with the help of crutches.

After being judged to have lost his value, the endless invitations to experiments suddenly disappeared, but this rare peace and quiet was more in line with Accelerator's wishes.

After the path to invincibility that he had always pursued was rejected, he was filled with confusion.

As a stray dog, what’s the point even if I regain my strength, even if I really become an absolute capable person?

After all, unlike Roland and Misaka Mikoto, he has no so-called beliefs at all.

I just simply held on to the ridiculous idea that everything would be fine as long as I became Level 6, but I never realized what it would take and what actions I had to take to get closer to that goal.

In this respect, he is not even as good as Misaka sisters.

“How ridiculous…”

Accelerator laughed at himself when he thought about how he used to contemptuously call those sisters dolls.

After casually squashing the empty can in his hand, Accelerator picked up his cane and walked towards the nearest hotel he remembered, intending to spend the night there.

In the past when he was the number one, he saved a lot of money, and his daily expenses were not much, so even if he lost his ability, he would not have to worry about his future life.

"I remember it should be around here..."

While identifying the road, he walked slowly forward, and soon he found the nearest street.

However, he stopped as soon as he stepped into the street.

"What a mess, Accelerator."

The ferocious-looking man folded his arms, looked at Accelerator in front of him, and sneered.

Behind him, the younger brothers, who were dressed equally fancy and with "I am not a good person" written all over their faces, also skillfully circled around and blocked the surrounding roads.

After seeing that face he had no impression of and the familiar tone that harboured ill intentions, Accelerator's eyes narrowed slightly.

Under normal circumstances, this level of bad behavior would not even be enough to make him stop.

But then was before and now is now.

To him, who has lost his abilities, these people are more of a threat than a nuisance.

After all, the bad guys who realized how weak the disabled people are have all joined the armed disabled group. Only a simple-minded idiot like this would be foolish enough to challenge him.

Even when making this decision, they may not even know their own abilities, and do not care about the fate of their companions. They will just rush forward like the small fry in the game as soon as they see the target.

As expected, even though Accelerator took the initiative and knocked down a bad guy in front of him with his cane, the thugs next to him still rushed forward while shouting in panic and without any martial ethics.

After barely fighting back, he was hit from behind and fell to the ground again.

The leading bad boy couldn't help but burst into laughter when he saw this scene.

“Is this the number one in Academy City? He is nothing special. How dare he be so arrogant before!”

"The first one is nothing special at all. It's obvious that the strongest person with special abilities can't beat us. Other people with special abilities even dare to look down on us like those adults!"

"Such a weakling actually dares to attack us. How about just surrendering?"

The younger brothers who were surrounding and beating Accelerator also joined in, venting all their excitement and anxiety after succeeding on their fists and feet.

So... this is what it feels like to be weak?

Knowing that he could not defeat four hands with just two fists, Accelerator did not put up any further resistance. He just smiled strangely and tried his best to protect himself with his arms.

The beating finally stopped until the wounds on his body opened again and blood seeped out, soaking his clothes.

But this is not because they are afraid of the consequences of accidentally killing Accelerator.

"Quack! It's so boring! Until now I haven't heard him beg for mercy. Is this guy crazy?"

There is no fun in beating up a person who can't resist and can't even scream. It's not called venting anger at all, it's more like a form of exercise.

It's not like the bad leader couldn't understand his younger brother's thoughts, because even when he was enduring beatings from all sides, from baseball bats to fists and kicks, even to the point of breaking bones, Accelerator's eyes were still unyielding.

He just stared at the person who was abusing him quietly without saying a word.

It was as if he was the one looking down on others all the time. Being stared at by such a creepy gaze, he actually felt scared.

After pushing his little brother away and kicking Accelerator hard in the abdomen, the bad leader's face turned ugly when he found that the other party was shaking in pain but still had no reaction.

"Asshole, if you look at me again I will dig your eyeballs out. Let's see if your pretty face can still be..."

It was originally a threat made in anger, but seeing Accelerator's expression, the bad leader shut up midway through his words.

"So you look pretty good."

The bad leader swallowed his saliva with a gulp, and malicious flames burned in his eyes.

A ferocious smile also appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Academy City does have a dark side, but the evil forces that can truly run rampant all have upper-class backgrounds.

Most delinquents would only dare to approach students outside at night. Even though he was the leader of this group, he was stupid enough to challenge Accelerator, so naturally there were no women around him.

What's more, compared to the gangster girls he occasionally comes into contact with, Accelerator's neutral appearance and temperament due to hormone disorder caused by his ability can completely crush them.

Even if they met normally, he might get impulsive, not to mention that he was now on the enemy's side.

"In that case, rather than simply knocking you down or even killing you, doing this to you as a man is the most insulting way to take away your dignity, right?"

Such abrupt and perverted remarks made the bad guys around stunned for a moment, but soon, they all became restless as they shared the same bad taste.

Seeing Accelerator's face change drastically and finally start to struggle, they also cheered.

"Look, boss! He finally shows a look of fear!"

"Since it's so effective, we can just film it, copy it to the Internet, and let the world enjoy it for free!" "Damn it, I'll kill you all!"

After realizing what kind of crap was in these idiots' heads, Accelerator couldn't hold it anymore. He ignored his injuries and madly attacked the people around him.

But after losing the advantage of sneak attack, his thin body was no match for the bad guys on the opposite side.

The bad leader laughed arrogantly, and the look he gave Accelerator became more and more wanton, as if he completely regarded the other party as a vase.

Stimulated by Accelerator's act of resistance, he licked his dry lips, and as if he could no longer control his desire, he gradually approached the person who was pinned down, and whispered.

"Don't worry, after I've had enough fun..."

Accelerator's eyes were red as he looked at the gradually approaching shadow. The depression and despair in his heart turned into waves, constantly hitting his brain.

Just when he felt despair, cracks began to appear quietly on his body.

"Stop it, let go of that girl... Hey, man? Anyway, let him go, pervert!"

The voice of a young boy that sounded unreliable suddenly rang out.

Kamijou Touma rushed over like a pig, roaring angrily.

Although he was a little scared by the sight of such a large crowd, he was more afraid that he would not be able to save the white-haired boy who was about to be violated.

He plucked up his courage, took advantage of the acceleration of his run, and rushed forward with his fists raised.

"boom--!"

Following a dull thud and a sharp, piercing sound of breaking through the air, the bad leader, who was about to untie his belt, had no time to react and flew out like a kite with a broken string.

"Nosy boy!"

Seeing their leader being knocked away, the thugs nearby no longer cared about Accelerator and gathered around, ready to teach Kamijou Touma a lesson.

"He is Accelerator. Do you know what this first one did before?"

"This has nothing to do with his identity or what he did in the past. I want to save him as he is now! If he commits an unforgivable mistake, I will make him do his best to atone for it!"

Kamijou, who had never hesitated about the direction he should take, naturally would not be distracted by such low-level nonsense.

Being a veteran of many battles, he skillfully used the terrain and speed to dodge the attacks of the bad guys, and then found the right opportunity to kick a bad guy who was holding a baseball bat directly in the crotch.

With the sound of chickens flying and eggs smashing, and the sound of inhumane howling, a bad guy fell straight to the ground, following the fate of his boss.

“Now, who wants to be next!”

Although his abdomen was still aching from the few punches he received, Kamijou Touma still pretended to be fierce and raised his fist again.

This injury, which was far more horrific than being knocked away, made the faces of the bad guys who were about to surround him freeze. After looking at each other in confusion for a few seconds, they looked at Kamijou Touma who was ready to fight to the end, and they could only make harsh words and flee with their unconscious companion.

"call,"

After standing there for a while and realizing that this was not a deliberate trap, Kamijou Touma heaved a sigh of relief and shook his fist with a grimace.

Imagine Breaker's abilities have no effect on people without abilities, so the punches he took were real.

When he took out his cell phone to call an ambulance and found that the screen was cracked, the expression on his face became even more desperate.

"Unfortunately..."

After sighing out of habit, Kamijou Touma looked up at the sky speechlessly, only to find that a avian had flown over his head at some point.

In the dark night, the tip of the other's wings seemed to be stuck with some kind of black and red sticky liquid.

Come to think of it, the direction this A-fei was flying from seemed to be the direction that the group of bad guys were running away from...

"hiss……"

But after hearing Accelerator's quiet whine, he quickly put the matter behind him and hurried towards the other party.

"Are you okay, classmate Yifang?"

"Do not touch me!"

Accelerator, who had half sat up, stared at Kamijou Touma's face but did not touch the hand that the other party offered him.

However, although his tone was very unfriendly, he still somehow added the reason.

"My left hand and ribs are probably broken, and I can only move a little bit. Being pulled up like this will only aggravate my injuries."

Although Accelerator's attitude was still very rude, as a true good man, Kamijou Touma naturally didn't care.

He enthusiastically helped the other person pick up the crutches and even apologized obediently.

"Oh, sorry... Then let me help you go to the hospital. I happen to know a doctor who is also open at night and has excellent medical skills!"

"I would do the same without you telling me!"

But being concerned like this made Accelerator even more irritated. He forced himself to stand up with the help of a cane, and his eyes reflected Kamijou Touma, who also had several bruises on his body.

"Rather than this, you should pay more attention to yourself, the selfless hero? You actually rushed over without caring about anything in that situation. Those scums will not hold back. If you fail, you might even die."

"Let's wait until that happens. Rather than regretting before being beaten to death, or regretting for the rest of my life that I didn't rush out, I'd rather choose the first one."

Kamijou Touma laughed awkwardly.

"Damn it! If I still had the ability, I could stop the bleeding on my own and then slowly heal myself..."

But this attitude of accepting the sarcasm completely only made Accelerator even angrier. He felt the pain spreading through his body and limped forward.

"Ability? ...Come to think of it, you seem to be the first one, why don't you use your ability? Is it because you are injured?"

Kamijou Touma looked at Accelerator in surprise, and only realized his identity belatedly.

"Tsk, not really."

Accelerator glanced at Kamijou Touma.

Although it might seem like opening wounds, he had no intention of lying to this guy.

"I was just punished by another hero when I was performing an act of violence. My calculation ability was not affected. However, once I perform complex calculations involving the use of my abilities, it's like the progress bar is stuck. I can never reach the stage of affecting reality."

"It seems that the principle involves AIM's position switching. The stronger I am, the more difficult it is for me to break through the blockade on my own."

"Is there such a thing? However, if it is a magnetic field rotation, it would be fine, but if it is an AIM force field..."

Looking at the dying Accelerator, a trace of worry flashed in Kamijou Touma's eyes.

Although he currently appears to be fine, he knows through his long experience that this may just be the effect of hormones. The injury may have already spread internally, and he may not even make it to the hospital.

It would be very different if Accelerator could use his ability to urgently treat his injuries.

Thinking of this, Kamijou Touma tentatively extended his right hand towards Accelerator.

"What are you doing, eh, my ability...is back?"

Accelerator frowned and looked at Kamijou Touma in confusion as he gently placed his hand on his shoulder.

Although the output port feels a lot smaller, it is a huge improvement compared to the previous situation where the progress bar was always loading.

But before he could rejoice at the return of his powers, the phenomenon that followed took away the already scarce color from his face.

A strange sound, like porcelain breaking and ice shaking, rang out simultaneously along the cracks that appeared on his body.

When that guy set up the seal, he also used the Heavenly Lock to seal the attack that should have broken me!

In a flash, Accelerator, whose IQ had regained the upper hand, analyzed everything.

He subconsciously broke free from Kamijou Touma's hand.

But in his panic, because he forgot that his ability would disappear as his right hand was removed, Accelerator, who had turned back into an ordinary person, staggered and was about to fall to the ground again.

"Damn it!"

"One way!"

Hearing the crisp sound of bones breaking, Kamijou Touma didn't bother to think about why the other party had just thrown him away, and subconsciously stretched out his hand to catch him.

But for Accelerator at this moment, the consequences of his hand are a thousand times more terrible than falling to the ground and breaking a few bones.

Looking at the injuries on his body that had spread to his fingertips and were about to be peeled off, but were suppressed again by the restored Heavenly Lock, and then looking at the hand that Kamijou Touma stretched out, Accelerator let out a sincere scream.

"Gua, don't come over here!" (End of this chapter)
