Misaka Mikoto originally thought it was all over, and she had even forgotten about it. After all, Misaka Mikoto's daily entertainment was bullying thugs... ah no, I mean upholding justice in Academy City. This incident was just an embellishment to Misaka Mikoto's ordinary daily school life.

However, not long after, she unexpectedly saw this elementary school student disciplinary committee member again.

When Misaka Mikoto met this elementary school student disciplinary committee member again, she had become a middle school student, a classmate of Misaka Mikoto, and a student of Tokiwadai.

And this disciplinary committee member naturally conforms to Tokiwadai's rules—only recruiting Level 3 strong ability users and those with higher abilities, such as super ability users.

She is Shirai Kuroko, a Level 4 esper with the ability to teleport.

Well, Misaka Mikoto, who had initially recognized Shirai Kuroko, merely glanced at her and didn't pay much attention, since the two of them were unlikely to have any connection in their destinies...

However, reality proved that Misaka Mikoto was too naive.

Fate did not allow the two people to naturally intersect, but those with strong initiative are capable of changing their own destiny and forcibly intertwining the fates of two people.

That's exactly what Shirai Kuroko did.

The cause was that some time ago, Misaka Mikoto and Shokuhou Misaki had a minor conflict. Unable to stand seeing Tokiwadai being turned into a mess by various factions, Misaka Mikoto casually stopped the conflict between the factions and then left easily, keeping her good deed hidden.

However, it was this one move that made Shirai Kuroko completely admire Misaka Mikoto, to the point that she used legal and reasonable means to force Misaka Mikoto's roommate to move out of the dormitory, and then Shirai Kuroko took the opportunity to forcibly and legally move in.

Well, since it's a legal and reasonable method, then there's no problem... my foot!

Are you suggesting we use legal and reasonable methods to deceive children?

Misaka Mikoto believes there is definitely a secret behind this!

Faced with someone who forcibly evicted Misaka Mikoto's familiar roommate and then forcibly moved in using so-called legal means, despite Misaka Mikoto's previous goodwill towards Shirai Kuroko's sense of justice, all that remained for Misaka Mikoto in the face of Shirai Kuroko's current actions was disgust and annoyance.

Moreover, the two were severely reprimanded by the dormitory manager for this incident, and the next day they were punished by having to clean the huge student cafeteria.

Although cleaning the student cafeteria together had eased their tension a little, preventing them from falling out completely, Misaka Mikoto still didn't know how to deal with this new roommate who had suddenly appeared.

It wasn't that Misaka Mikoto truly hated Shirai Kuroko to an extreme degree, but rather that Shirai Kuroko's unscrupulous methods were so repulsive to her that they shattered her original impression of Shirai Kuroko—the image of a good girl with a strong sense of justice.

The anger of a shattered impression is always hard to let go of.

However, to Misaka Mikoto's dismay, the fact that Shirai Kuroko would be sharing a dormitory with her was already decided, which meant that she would inevitably have to spend every day with Shirai Kuroko from now on.

What should we do?!

Misaka Mikoto covered her face. They couldn't possibly spend two years of middle school with dark, cold, and stern faces facing each other, could they?

Or... how about we try to improve our relationship?

But why should she do this kind of thing? It was Shirai Kuroko who caused all of this mess, okay?

Ugh, so frustrating! Is there no one who can tell her what to do next?

Misaka Mikoto spread her hands and looked up at the sky again. If there really were gods in Japan, they should have given her an answer by now, right?

Suddenly, a thunderclap resounded in mid-air, and countless bolts of lightning burst forth from a single point, as if something capable of generating electricity had appeared there.

As an electric user, Misaka Mikoto is naturally very familiar with lightning. However, even though she can use the Billion Volt Electric Gun, she felt a deep tremor when the lightning suddenly appeared in the sky.

what does this mean?

Generally speaking, the voltage of lightning is at most around one billion volts. Such lightning can even be guided and used by Misaka Mikoto to unleash her techniques. Therefore, such voltage is essentially completely harmless to Misaka Mikoto.

However, visible to the naked eye in mid-air, this strange lightning bolt, blooming from a single point like a flower, possessed a terrifying energy that made Misaka Mikoto tremble.

This means that this lightning is extremely dangerous, with a voltage far exceeding one billion volts, and it may even be a super lightning that Misaka Mikoto has only seen in textbooks!

Misaka Mikoto immediately sat up, her mind racing, a sense of extreme danger washing over her.

This is a life-or-death danger!

As an Electromaster, Misaka Mikoto possesses a much higher electrical charge than normal due to the diffusion of the AIM field, which means she unintentionally and instinctively uses her abilities. This causes her body to unintentionally emit electromagnetic waves.

Under normal circumstances, this would only mean that Misaka Mikoto would be disliked by small animals, not a major problem that would break her heart. However, Misaka Mikoto had been warned by researchers that if she encountered super lightning, she might face great danger.

Because... Level 5 Misaka Mikoto is practically a giant ground-based lightning rod, a huge lure for lightning from the sky!

Ordinary lightning is fine; Misaka Mikoto doesn't need to worry about it at all. But this super lightning, which far exceeds Misaka Mikoto's control limits, could strike if she were tempted by it...

Just as Misaka Mikoto realized the danger and tried desperately to escape, the super lightning that suddenly appeared in the sky seemed to have finally spotted her. The spiderweb-like lightning that was spreading in the air immediately enveloped Misaka Mikoto.

Although lightning doesn't travel at the speed of light, it still travels at speeds of tens or even hundreds of kilometers per second. Faced with such lightning, even if Misaka Mikoto is a Level 5 Eden user, she wouldn't be able to react in any way to such super lightning.

In despair, Misaka Mikoto's face was already deathly pale. All she could do was try her best to mobilize her power and hope to deflect the super lightning bolt falling from the sky so that it wouldn't hit her directly.

However, despite her desperate efforts, fear had already caused Misaka Mikoto to close her eyes, awaiting the onset of pain.

If I were struck by that terrifying super lightning, I'd probably be reduced to ashes, right?

He just died like that?

These were Misaka Mikoto's last thoughts as she closed her eyes.

012 Shocking Destruction: You'll Die in My Face

Because she is an Electromaster, Mikoto understands the terrifying power of electricity better than anyone else. It is a terrifying power that can tear everything in front of you to shreds with completely unreasonable force.

This is precisely why Misaka Mikoto, who wields such immense power, is always extremely cautious when using it, minimizing the discharge current to its limit. Otherwise, if Misaka Mikoto were to lose control even slightly, it would cause immense destruction.

And now, this terrifying power is about to descend upon her; the strongest electrician in Academy City is about to taste the power of terrifying lightning.

However, Misaka Mikoto, who was closing her eyes in despair, did not feel the terrifying harm she had anticipated. Instead, she felt a very strange shock.

It was as if something had been smeared on her face.

It was a very strange feeling. If I had to describe it, it would be like the feeling of being suddenly hit by a tremendous amount of water pressure when you dive into the water. But this pressure was much greater than water pressure, and it was also much thicker and harder.

Not only that, the force was also great, directly slamming Misaka Mikoto, who had just stood up, back to the ground, causing her to fall heavily on her back and let out a muffled groan.

Of course, the sensation of electric current was indispensable. A huge current rushed into her body and surged through her body. Countless currents directly activated her superpowers automatically. From the outside, she would look like she was now covered in electric sparks and discharging electricity.

But this time, the sheer volume of current truly exceeded Misaka Mikoto's control limits. For the first time in many years, Misaka Mikoto experienced the sensation of being electrocuted, and the sheer volume of current nearly paralyzed every cell in her body.

He couldn't move a single part of his body; his whole body was trembling, as if all his strength had been shut down by the electric current, and even his rationality was being constantly eroded by the current.

However, even while enduring such great pain, Misaka Mikoto still felt something strange on her body. She seemed to be pressed down by something, something sticky and soft, and it seemed to be wriggling, moving against her body and sweeping over every part of her skin.

Even her mouth, which opened involuntarily due to being clicked, was filled with this viscous substance, making it seem as if Misaka Mikoto's mouth and nose were sealed off, causing her to feel a suffocating pain.

Countless pains engulfed her, and her mouth and nose were sealed, preventing Misaka Mikoto from even managing a painful scream; she could only experience death in agony.

However, the current came quickly and went quickly. No matter how large the current was, it could not wreak havoc on the earth for long, especially since Misaka Mikoto was still by the river. Countless streams of electricity quickly flowed through Misaka Mikoto's body into the earth and into the river, disappearing without a trace.

Misaka Mikoto, who was waiting for death and struggling in pain due to paralysis and suffocation, suddenly felt her body lighten. Her ability, which had been reacting automatically due to the electric shock and even going almost berserk, quickly began to cool down and stabilize, returning to a level that Misaka Mikoto could control.

LV5 signifies more than just the strength of an ability; it also means the ability to control it. Now that Misaka Mikoto has regained control, her ability moves instinctively, and the remaining, painful power within her is immediately poured into the earth and leaves her body.

He survived?

Misaka Mikoto regained control of her powers, and although her body was still so weak and numb that she was almost unable to move, she still felt a sense of joy at surviving a disaster.

They survived!

Although we don't know why, Misaka Mikoto is alive now!

However, Misaka Mikoto didn't have time to be happy yet, because although the electric current and paralysis in her body were no longer dangerous, her mouth and nose were still blocked by something, and something was still pressing on her body.

Now, all of this has become the source of Misaka Mikoto's pain.

Misaka Mikoto, her mind a blur, could no longer endure the pain. She frantically used her hands and feet to move the things pressing on her body away, flipping them to one side. Then, she struggled to turn over and sit up, grabbing at her face and mouth with both hands.

She immediately grabbed the sticky substance on her face; she had no idea what it was. Regardless of what it was, Misaka Mikoto quickly pulled it off her face, the process causing a stinging pain on her skin.

"Pfft—ha!"

Although only a few seconds had passed since she was electrocuted, had something smeared on her face, and now was Misaka Mikoto's miraculous survival, it felt like centuries had gone by. She greedily inhaled the scent of grass and ozone generated by the lightning, and smelled the scorching air around her that reeked of burnt blood.

Hmm... the smell of blood?

Where is the smell of blood coming from?

Misaka Mikoto was stunned for a moment. Although she hadn't opened her eyes yet, she was very clear about her physical condition. At most, there were a few places that were at risk of burns due to the heat, but there was no way that she would smell blood.

This bloody smell... this smell that's like burnt, rotting flesh... where did it come from?

Realizing something was wrong, Misaka Mikoto opened her eyes, which were bloodshot from the electric current and her vision was still a little blurry. She immediately focused her gaze on her hands, trying to make them clear and adjust her vision.

Her vision quickly returned, which made Misaka Mikoto feel even more relieved. It seemed that she had successfully dodged this sudden calamity, and the physical damage she suffered was almost negligible.

However... I should still go to the hospital for a check-up later, and then go back to the research institute to check if my abilities have been affected.

That damn lightning strike must have been at least 10 billion volts, right?

"Encountering such a rare natural phenomenon and then escaping unscathed, I really don't know if I'm just unlucky or lucky... Wait, what's this?"

As she opened her mouth to complain about her ordeal, Misaka Mikoto's vision finally returned, allowing her to see her hands clearly, as well as what was on them.

The strange thing she just peeled off her face.

She knew what this thing was.

This was a lump of flesh and blood, charred and burnt flesh and blood. The reason she had seen it before was not because Misaka Mikoto had burned anything with electricity, but simply because she had failed in a cooking class when she was a child and burned the food into charcoal. As a result, the defiant Misaka Mikoto had a deep impression of this humiliation.

The part of my hand that was touching my palm was completely charred, forming something like a hard lid. On the fleshy side of my hand, you could still see the dark red color of cooked meat, but that wasn't the point...

The key point is that the dark red color of the cooked meat had vaguely formed a shape, like a mold of someone's face... a mold of Misaka Mikoto's face.

"Ah—ah!"

Once she realized what it was, Misaka Mikoto screamed and threw it away. Such a disgusting and terrifying thing was indeed too stimulating for a 14-year-old girl.

The flesh mask thrown by Misaka Mikoto traced a small arc in the air before landing and hitting something, making a clattering sound like stones colliding.

This sound abruptly silenced Misaka Mikoto's terrified screams.

Because her gaze had instinctively followed the trail of the flesh mask as it flew through the air, and then she saw what the flesh mask had crashed into.

It was humanoid.

A human figure lying on the ground, its head thrown upwards.

The reason I use the word "humanoid" instead of the word "human" is because this thing can only be considered a humanoid shape at the moment.

His limbs were charred black, his hands and feet had disappeared, and the broken parts looked like the tips of a burnt log, leaving only a dry, cracked, grayish-black mass.

His entire body was charred black, with only his chest and face still showing a semblance of human form, but that was all.
