On how PhDs become human evil

Section 576, Chapter 73. Accelerator: I got up, one kick and I was done for. What's there to say?

Just as Bai Jie was getting Misaki Shokuhou to back down, the battle between Misaka Mikoto and Accelerator also came to an end.

The orange light emanating from her body gradually dimmed, and Misaka Mikoto distanced herself, standing there panting heavily. Her previous onslaught had been incredibly exhausting. Because of Accelerator's reflective ability, Misaka Mikoto's attacks were essentially hitting herself with every strike, and she had just landed hundreds of blows on Accelerator.

In this situation, although Misaka Mikoto was not seriously injured because of her armor, she did lose a lot of stamina.

On the other side of Misaka Mikoto, Accelerator, wearing black armor, was not injured at all; his body was completely unscathed, and his armor was as smooth as new.

"what?"

Sensing that Misaka Mikoto had stopped attacking, Accelerator called out in confusion.

"It's over? Is that all? Third one, your attack wasn't anything special, I didn't even feel you hitting me."

"You bastard..."

Misaka Mikoto was even angrier inside. She had to admit that Accelerator was a natural at provoking people. He could turn a calm person into an extremely annoyed person in two and a half out of three sentences, making them want to beat him up.

What's even more infuriating is that Accelerator, with his Reflect ability, is like wearing a Thornmail. Not only is he 100% immune to damage, but he also reflects all the damage he receives back to the attacker as true damage. It's an incredibly disgusting turtle shell skill!

"You bastard! If you've got the guts, don't use your reflection! Come at me head-on!"

"Huh? Are you out of your mind?" Accelerator tilted his head. "Why wouldn't I use such a useful ability as Reflect? Bai Jie said that as long as we can win, any means are acceptable. So from an efficiency standpoint, Reflect is a must-have."

"Ugh... Teacher! You should do something about this ridiculous argument! How am I supposed to hit someone like that?!"

This...this guy actually called me "teacher"?!

Accelerator and Misaka Mikoto were both stunned by Misaka Mikoto's sudden action. How could Misaka Mikoto do something like this? That's so despicable!

Misaka·Zan·Mikoto!

Bai Jie himself was startled by Misaka Mikoto, and then said with a wry smile, "I really can't help you with this. Either your attack power is great enough to break through the reflection, or you have to analyze the operation mode of the reflection and crack it yourself. Otherwise, you'll be bullied by the reflection for the rest of your life."

"What do you mean by bullying me for a lifetime? I'm not going to marry Accelerator."

How did you come to connect the idea of ​​bullying someone for a lifetime to marriage?

Bai Jie had to admire Misaka Mikoto's incredible associative abilities.

But jokes aside, the test still had to be conducted. After clearing his throat twice, Bai Jie said, "Defense test complete. Although the data isn't entirely accurate due to the reflection, it at least confirms that one side can withstand Misaka's Knight Kick head-on without needing a reflection."

"You were already physically weak and hadn't trained, so the armor was only slightly specialized for defense. This result was expected."

"Now let's begin the next test. Misaka, you defend with all your might, and Accelerator, you attack her."

Oh open!

Accelerator's expression under the mask became amusing, while Misaka Mikoto's panic could be felt even through the mask.

"You bad teacher! You're setting me up! That guy has a reflex activated; if he touches me, I might die!"

"Don't worry, you'll be protected by armor. You won't die. Even if you do, I can bring you back to life. Go ahead and take the beating."

"you....!"

"Alright! Time for some pleasant return gifts! Hahaha!"

Accelerator's demonic laughter rang out, and Misaka Mikoto quickly snapped back to reality and focused on defense. Lightning bolts gathered around her, forming a protective barrier around her.

"Take a completely defensive stance... but do you think such petty tricks will work?"

Boom!

If Misaka Mikoto's sprint was swift, then Accelerator's kick was like an earthquake, shaking the entire test site.

With a speed equivalent to teleportation, Accelerator arrived directly in front of Misaka Mikoto. The fence-like lightning immediately wrapped around Accelerator, but it was all reflected the moment it touched him. His right fist, covered by black armor, slammed towards Misaka Mikoto!

"boom!"

After stomping the ground and taking several steps back, Misaka Mikoto raised her hand and dozens of bolts of lightning shot out, like arrows, towards Accelerator.

Ignoring the incoming lightning and letting it be reflected, Accelerator, whose punch missed, stomped on the ground again, reducing the distance between him and Misaka Mikoto to zero once more!

(No, I can't dodge it!)

The moment Misaka Mikoto had that thought in her mind, Accelerator's fist landed on her chest.

"Boom!"

Misaka Mikoto was blasted directly into the wall.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Misaka Mikoto coughed violently twice, clutching her chest: "They really didn't hold back at all. If it weren't for my armor, I would be dead."

"I've calculated the power; it can't penetrate your armor."

"You're really quite adept at this! How about this one?"

Misaka Mikoto took out two full bottles.

【Railgun! Teleport! Best Match! 】

"Transform!"

[The twin sisters of lightning and space! Railgun! Teleport! Yeah!]

Shirai Kuroko's light and shadow merged into Misaka Mikoto's body, and Misaka Mikoto instantly transformed into a Kamen Rider who simultaneously wielded lightning and space.

With a thought, Misaka Mikoto teleported directly behind Accelerator, unleashing her full power of lightning.

"bi—!"

The lightning was completely reflected, but Misaka Mikoto had already teleported to the other side before that, and then unleashed another burst of lightning.

Accelerator waved his hand dismissively, and all the lightning that approached him was immediately dispersed.

"Alright, we have enough data. Let's finish this test quickly."

Accelerator placed his hand on the belt handle and quickly twirled it a few times.

【Ready go! Vortex Finish! 】

Black light shone from his feet, and energy, like a galaxy vortex, rapidly converged into a single point. Accelerator then kicked Misaka Mikoto, who was still in mid-air after completing her spatial teleportation!

Misaka Mikoto immediately tried to teleport to dodge, but the sharp pain in her head prevented her from doing so in time. This is the drawback of spatial abilities; each activation requires a short buffer period, and even with Misaka Mikoto's esper-level calculation abilities, there is still a 0.2-second gap.

That was enough time for Accelerator to kick her.

【Accelerator Finish! Yeah! 】

The black Milky Way exploded in the sky.

Section 577, Chapter 74: Tsukasa Kadoya is just a tool.

Two weeks have passed since Accelerator became a Kamen Rider.

Unlike Misaka Mikoto, Accelerator didn't engage in Kamen Rider activities every single day during these two weeks. He remained the same, doing whatever he was supposed to do, wandering around Academy City every day, going home when he was done, and occasionally asking Haku about magic.

Accelerator's actions were not unexpected by Bai Jie. After all, unlike Misaka Mikoto, he lacked any sense of being a hero and always considered himself a villain. It was impossible for someone like him to carry out a proper Kamen Rider operation. Besides, with his strength, there were very few people in Academy City who could hurt him, not even break his reflexes, let alone transform him into a Kamen Rider.

Therefore, to date, there is only one Kamen Rider in Academy City.

However, this only Kamen Rider hasn't appeared for a long time recently, and the reason is simple—he's in class.

"Why do I have to come to your house for tutoring on weekends?!"

It's Saturday. At Bai Jie's house, Misaka Mikoto sits at a table with a dark expression on her face. In front of her are a textbook and a notebook. Opposite her is Bai Jie, who is holding a textbook.

Hearing this, Bai Jie sighed helplessly: "Do you think I want to teach you? I also want to sleep in on the weekend, but you missed five days of class and you have to make up for it."

"I've never heard of having to come back for make-up classes after a publicly funded trip. I wish I hadn't gone to Venice."

"Stop interrupting me. Let's finish today's tasks as soon as possible so we can all be free sooner. I want to go back and continue playing games."

Last night, Bai Jie finished playing the Shura ending of Sekiro, and today he plans to play Dragon's Homecoming.

Misaka Mikoto rolled her eyes immediately upon hearing this: "Playing games, playing games, all you know is playing games. Can't you help me develop some new items?"

“As things stand, the three bottles you have are enough. Giving you new items would just mean they’d gather dust,” Bai Jie said. “Don’t worry, I’ll give you the new items when the time is right. No rush.”

"When would be a suitable time?"

"When you're beaten so badly you're rolling on the ground with your mouth open and eyes closed, and you're forced to de-transform."

Commonly known as the moment of being humiliated.

When Misaka Mikoto finally gets her comeuppance, then White will give her a new toy... a new gadget. Don't say White is unreasonable; every Kamen Rider has gone through this process, and Misaka Mikoto can't be an exception.

Hearing Bai Jie's words, Misaka Mikoto glared at him angrily, then pushed her notebook towards Bai Jie: "How do you find this limit?"

"Oh, after simplification, we can substitute it with an equivalent infinitesimal."

.........

The make-up classes were limited to the mornings, while the afternoons and evenings were free time. Tokiwadai knew it was impossible to make Misaka Mikoto have a full day of make-up classes.

After the morning classes ended, Misaka Mikoto packed her bag and left Bai Jie's house. She had an appointment with Shirai Kuroko and Saten Ruiko in the afternoon.

As for Bai Jie, he returned to his room after Misaka Mikoto left.

This morning, Kelissa said she was going shopping with some girls and left at 10:00 AM. Now, Bai Jie is home alone.

Bai Jie sat down at the computer, turned it on, and was just about to open Sekiro—

"Dulu lulu lulu lulu lulu!"

The phone rang suddenly. Bai Jie grabbed the phone from the bedside table and answered, "Who is this?"

"It's me. It's been a while, Doctor."

"Tsukasa?" Bai Jie was a little surprised. He didn't expect Tsukasa Kadoya to call him suddenly. "That's really strange. You would call me. Given your personality, you must have encountered some trouble that you can't handle on your own. Otherwise, you wouldn't have called me."

"As expected of the Doctor, it seems you understand me quite well." Tsukasa Kadoya laughed. "I've arrived in a new world and encountered some trouble."

"You've gone to a new world again? What kind of world?"

"In the near future, just like the harem light novels that are popular now, a strange energy appears in the world for some reason, and then humans with superpowers appear all over the world, and young superpowered people compete with each other."

"Oh, I see." Bai Jie roughly understood Kadoya Tsukasa's situation. "Your identity in that world is that of a male protagonist who, for some reason, transferred to a school and is about to embark on a typical harem light novel plot, right? OK, I'll call Hikari Natsumi right now."
