A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 391: Guatai finally gave up
"Don't worry about this little thing." Misaka Mikoto waved her hand, "This can be regarded as a way to repay the kindness of Wuming Senior for teaching me the ultimate move."

"Ultimate move?" Lin Wuming was stunned for a moment, "Oh, you mean that..."

Misaka Mikoto's eyes lit up as she spoke excitedly, "That's right, the 'A Certain Scientific Railgun'! That move really suits me! It's like it was destined to be used, and it works so well!"

As the girl spoke, she excitedly took out a coin and pretended to flick it; fortunately, Misaka Mikoto was not impulsive enough to fire the "A Certain Scientific Railgun" in the living room.

——Of course, how could it not be convenient? This is your “real body”.

Lin Wuming complained silently in his heart.

By some coincidence, Misaka Mikoto seemed to think that it was Lin Wuming's "Telekinetic Accelerator" that inspired her, which eventually led to the creation of the "A Certain Scientific Railgun".

So she regarded Lin Wuming as a half-teacher, and her visit this time was also for the purpose of "reporting her learning progress."

"By the way, Wuming-senpai, I'm getting more and more proficient with my railgun," Misaka Mikoto said proudly. "I've been practicing a lot lately. Although my range isn't as good as your telekinetic accelerator cannon, its power should be no less than yours."

"This is normal," Lin Wuming said, "After all, you are level 5."

——And you are the genuine one.

"But on the other hand, Senior Wuming, you are only level 3, but you can use such a powerful ultimate move. Aren't you even more amazing?" Misaka Mikoto exclaimed sincerely.

"However, the material of the game coins seems unable to support my railgun to exert greater power." Misaka Mikoto said, "But the power now should be enough."

"You're right," Lin Wuming nodded. "Our attack power is actually already in excess now. There's no need to continue pursuing an increase in attack power."

——Anyway, no matter how much the power is increased, it can’t break through Accelerator’s “Vector Operation”.

While Lin Wuming was talking, he was complaining in his heart... Fortunately, Misaka Mikoto couldn't read minds, otherwise the image of himself as a "teacher" in her mind would probably be greatly reduced, right?
In addition to concerns about power, Misaka Mikoto also has another more practical worry: "Although my proficiency has increased, I'm often chased by the security teachers and discipline committee members recently. It's really a headache."

Although Misaka Mikoto would choose an open, deserted place to test her special move, it was still a public place. Therefore, her actions were equivalent to testing a weapon of mass destruction in a public place. Honestly, being driven away by law enforcement rather than arrested was a concession for her level 5 status.

"You... should practice somewhere else occasionally," Lin Wuming complained. "Even I've heard you always practice by the lake in the same park. It's almost become a new urban legend."

"Huh? Isn't that Wuming-senpai's exclusive practice place?" Misaka Mikoto asked in surprise, "That's why I chose to practice there specifically."

"..." Lin Wuming was speechless again, "Okay, it's my fault."

"Did I misunderstand?" Misaka Mikoto scratched her head. "Okay, I'll pay attention."

Seeing that she had almost said everything she wanted to say, Misaka Mikoto picked up her schoolbag and prepared to say goodbye and leave - she had come to visit after school today.

When Lin Wuming saw the Quata doll hanging on Misaka Mikoto's schoolbag, he suddenly remembered something important.

"Misaka-san, please wait a moment!" Lin Wuming hurriedly called her, "Wait a few minutes!"

As he said this, he hurriedly drove his wheelchair out of the living room and returned to his room at home.

Looking at the Quata merchandise that had already accumulated to half a wall, Lin Wuming quickly selected two limited-edition Quata figurines. These two products were released at a comic convention outside of Academy City, and Yomikawa Aiho had specifically asked a colleague who was out collaborating to bring them back.

Compared to other peripherals, this type of products that are only sold "outside Academy City" will probably be difficult for Misaka Mikoto to collect, right?
"Oh my god! Aren't these the limited edition 'stage play' series of Quata and Kita that will only be sold at Tokyo Dome?"

Sure enough, the moment Misaka Mikoto saw the two figures that Lin Wuming brought back, her eyes almost lit up.

Without caring about anything else, the brown-haired girl almost threw herself in front of Lin Wuming's wheelchair and carefully admired the two figures from a close distance.

"How did Senior Wuming get them?"

"Teacher Huang Quanchuan..." Lin Wuming explained, "You know, the security forces occasionally assist Tokyo City outside, for cooperation and exchanges. There was a security teacher on duty at the event site, so I brought it back by the way."

"So Wuming-senpai also likes Quata?" Misaka Mikoto's eyes sparkled. "I didn't expect Wuming-senpai to have such good taste!"

"Ahem..." Lin Wuming coughed dryly, "What I want to say is, thank you for visiting me today - and for these strawberry cakes, so as a return gift..."

Bilibili...

Misaka Mikoto was so excited that she couldn't wait to pick up the two figures. "Is this really possible? These are very valuable collectibles, right?"

"...It's not that precious," Lin Wuming shook his head. "As long as you like it, that's all."

"I like it, I like it very much!" As if she believed that Lin Wuming was also a fellow enthusiast, Misaka Mikoto did not hide her love for Guatai. She bowed deeply with gratitude, "Really, thank you very much! Wuming-senpai!"

……

"We've finally achieved our goal. Misaka-san's favorability must be off the charts, right?" Shokuhou Misaki said, rolling her eyes. "By the way, has everything Wuming-senpai has been working so hard to collect finally come in handy?"

Lin Wuming, however, said with a subtle expression, "I always feel... that this seems unnecessary. Speaking of which, Misaka Mikoto's favorability towards me is already quite high, right? She even considers me half a teacher."

"How cunning! You're using your knowledge of the plot power to deceive Misaka-san."

"It can't be considered a deception..." Lin Wuming said helplessly.

Because she knew the plot of the original work, Shokuhou Misaki seemed to have put herself into the role of the original character in advance and became full of hostility towards Misaka Mikoto.

"Well, Misaka-san is an idiot anyway, so it's okay if she lies," Shokuhou Misaki said. "Well, this cake is delicious, though."

At this time, Shokuhou Misaki was eating strawberry cake in Yomigawa Aiho's apartment, which was brought by Misaka Mikoto when she visited today.

"Don't eat it all, leave some for the tiger bees." Lin Wuming said.

"Don't worry," Shokuhou Misaki rolled her eyes. "I don't eat that much. I'm not that fighting girl like Tiger Bee..."

"Besides~" Shokuhou Misaki turned to look at the refrigerator in the kitchen, "I didn't come empty-handed. Didn't I bring a lot of fresh steaks? I think Tiger Bee-san would prefer meat to cake, right?"
