"Shirai-kun, you've completely forgotten!"

Amidst Uiharu Kazari's angry voice, Shirai Kuroko suddenly remembered that Uiharu Kazari had asked her to help introduce her to Misaka Mikoto. Shirai Kuroko had originally planned to tell Misaka Mikoto, but she completely forgot because of Shokuhou Misaki's situation.

"No problem, no problem!"

Recalling this, Shirai Kuroko quickly assured Uiharu Kazari that it was just a matter of getting Misaka Mikoto and Uiharu Kazari to meet, and Shirai Kuroko believed that this would not be a problem.

Hearing Shirai Kuroko's assurance, Uiharu Kazari's anger turned to joy, and she said, "Then it's a deal!"

"It's a deal, absolutely no problem!"

"Alright, tell me who you want to investigate!"

After betraying her older sister to Uiharu Kazari, Uiharu Kazari finally began to search for the information that Shirai Kuroko wanted, and what Shirai Kuroko wanted to find were two people.

One is Momo, and the other is the second-ranked person in Academy City.

Information about Hwaneun Teitoku is very limited, consisting mainly of publicly available information. It introduces Hwaneun Teitoku's ability level, basic effects, and the school he attends, among other things.

Shirai Kuroko was not surprised by this, after all, Level 5 is the highest level of esper in Academy City, the treasure of Academy City, and the secret of their own ability is basically the top secret of Academy City.

Shirai Kuroko did not foolishly attempt to find any weaknesses in Emperor Kanemoto from the available information.

She simply wanted to understand Emperor Huangen better.

When it came to Mo Mo, the information he obtained surprised the two girls.

As mentioned above, Momo only recently arrived in Academy City and is a Primal Stone user. His reason for coming was not because he was discovered as a Primal Stone, but to inherit the authority of a board member.

Now, Momo has completed the handover of authority and has officially become a director of Academy City, in charge of Academy City's external exchanges.

Looking at the young and handsome face on the screen, the two were speechless for a moment. Uiharu Kazari exclaimed repeatedly, after all, such a young director was beyond Uiharu Kazari's imagination.

"Shirai-kun, did you become interested in this director because you heard about his real-life experiences?"

"Who would be interested in him? He's a complete scumbag!"

Shirai Kuroko's angry and conflicted expression startled Uiharu Kazari. Although she didn't know what was going on, Uiharu Kazari didn't dare to say anything more.

Shirai Kuroko stared at Mo Mo's smiling face on the screen, desperately trying to figure out how to overcome the authority of a director and defeat Mo Mo's lackey, Huan Gendi.

As for Momo himself, Shirai Kuroko did not consider him a great threat. Although she had heard about Momo's powerful regenerative abilities from Misaka Mikoto, she did not consider this ability to be a combat asset.

As for Momo's trading ability... that's all he can do, nothing else.

Therefore, in Shirai Kuroko's view, the reason why Momo acted arrogantly and recklessly after becoming a director, and even dared to attack Shokuhou Misaki, was simply because of the existence of Kane Teitoku.

If we can figure out a way to deal with Kanemoto, then we won't have to worry about Momo anymore, and even Misaki Shokuhou will be freed.

With Misaki Shokuhou's psychological control at that time, what problem couldn't be solved?

This is Shirai Kuroko's opinion, and also the direction she came up with to break the deadlock. But looking at the entire Academy City, who is a match for Hagen Teitoku?

That's the second-ranked city in Academy City!

"Defeat the second-ranked player in Academy City?"

Shirai Kuroko repeated in surprise what Shirai Kuroko had said, realizing that Shirai Kuroko had accidentally revealed her true feelings.

"If we're looking for someone to beat the second-place person, then the first-place person is definitely a no-brainer, right?"

Uiharu Kazari only subconsciously expressed her opinion, but her words seemed to wake Shirai Kuroko up in an instant.

Yup!

The problem is that simple!

If you want to defeat the second-ranked person, why don't you just go find the first-ranked person?

First update

137 Uninvited Guest

Haru Kazari's words awakened Shirai Kuroko, making her very excited.

She began to desperately think about the first encounter and battle with the Misaka Sisters that day, but no matter how much she thought about it, she couldn't figure out what the relationship between the first person and the Misaka Sisters was.

After all, Shirai Kuroko was quite far away and could only see that the two of them were fighting, but Misaka Sisters were unharmed.

Then, the second one appeared. It was clear that the second one and the first one had a dispute because of Misaka Momo. In the end, the second one took Misaka Momo away.

What does all of this mean? Was the first person's actions that day intended to stop the Misaka Sisters and the second person, or did they have some other purpose?

Shirai Kuroko knew nothing about the number one, but since he was number one, he shouldn't be afraid of the strength of the number two.

If what the person in first place did that day was truly to save the Misaka Sisters, then there is hope for everything!

"Thank you so much, Chuchun, you've been a huge help. Could you please check the information for the first person as well?"

After confirming the information on the first person, Shirai Kuroko teleported away from Branch 177 and planned to go find Accelerator.

Through the information from Haru, Shirai Kuroko learned that Accelerator was a student at Nagato University, so she planned to use her position as a disciplinary committee member to inquire about Accelerator's whereabouts.

However, the result disappointed her.

Although Shirai Kuroko confirmed that Accelerator was indeed a student at Nagato University, she overlooked one point: not every Level 5 is a disciplined and well-behaved child like Misaka Mikoto and Shokuhou Misaki.

Accelerator is nominally a student at Nagato Computer Academy, but since he enrolled, he has never attended a single day of class!

This news put Shirai Kuroko in a dead end once again, because the school didn't know Accelerator's address either, and even if they did, they probably wouldn't tell Shirai Kuroko.

So, how is Shirai Kuroko supposed to find Accelerator?

Should we go find Chu Chun Shiri again?

Shirai Kuroko rejected the idea; she absolutely wouldn't allow anyone around her to be involved in what had happened today. She alone was enough to handle the situation.

Having exhausted all other options, Shirai Kuroko could only resort to the most laborious method to find Accelerator: using her abilities to search for him relentlessly.

Once she had completed her duties as a disciplinary committee member during the day, she would search tirelessly, and at night she would wander the streets and alleys, trying to find any clues about Accelerator or the new Misaka Sisters.

According to Shirai Kuroko's thinking, since there are urban legends based on the Misaka Sisters, if others can encounter them, then she should be able to find them by going to such lengths to find them, right?

However, while the idea was good, reality was harsh.

Academy City, with a population of 230 million, is a large city. It would be difficult for Shirai Kuroko to find someone aimlessly in such a vast city by herself.

Two days passed, and she was exhausted. She was listless during the day, which even Misaka Mikoto couldn't bear to see.

"Kuroko, have you run into any tough cases with the disciplinary committee? Why are you working so hard? Do you need my help?"

"Also, don't go out today. Don't forget, tomorrow is the day of your physical examination. If you don't rest well today, you might fail tomorrow."

Shirai Kuroko had initially wanted to reassure Misaka Mikoto by saying she was fine, but upon hearing the words "physical examination," she immediately jumped up.

"A physical exam! Is tomorrow already the 16th?!"

Misaka Mikoto shook her head helplessly and said, "You're so busy you're almost out of your mind, so just listen to me and get some rest today!"

Shirai Kuroko nodded, agreeing with Misaka Mikoto's words; she felt she really couldn't hold on any longer.

"Oh, right, big sister, I almost forgot, there's something Kuroko wants to ask you."

Shirai Kuroko then remembered that what she had promised Uiharu Kazari was tomorrow. If she forgot again this time, Uiharu Kazari would probably really hate her!

So, Shirai Kuroko told Misaka Mikoto that Uiharu Kazari wanted to see her. Originally, Shirai Kuroko thought it was a simple matter and that her older sister would definitely not refuse. However, Misaka Mikoto showed a hesitant look on her face.

"Does that mean my elder sister won't agree?"

Seeing Shirai Kuroko's exaggerated tone, Misaka Mikoto blushed slightly and said, "Well, it's not that I don't want to. Since she's Kuroko's friend, I'm happy to meet her."

“But…” Misaka Mikoto bit her lip and said, “I made plans to meet with Mo Mo on the phone this afternoon.”

"Look, we haven't seen each other much for a week. I was thinking that with my physical exam done and summer vacation starting soon, and the dorm supervisor's punishment over, I had to see him no matter what..."

Seeing Misaka Mikoto's hesitant explanation, Shirai Kuroko felt an indescribable bitterness and anguish. Why couldn't her older sister see through that disgusting man's true colors?

Moreover, Shirai Kuroko then remembered that the dormitory supervisor's week-long after-school confinement of Misaka Mikoto had finally ended, which meant that Misaka Mikoto could spend every day with Mo Mo if she wanted.

No… that assumption is unnecessary. Shirai Kuroko even believes that, if she could, her older sister would be willing to live next to that guy instead of in the dorm!

My dear sister, how can Kuroko save you?!

No, we absolutely cannot let Onee-sama continue to get close to that scum. Judging from his ruthless attacks on Misaka Mikoto and Onee-sama's clones, it wouldn't be surprising if he ate Misaka Mikoto at any time.

We must absolutely prevent them from meeting!

Thinking of this, Shirai Kuroko simply grabbed Misaka Mikoto's hand and pleaded, "Onee-sama, Haru is a very well-behaved child. She admires people like you the most, so please meet her."

"As for that ape... can't my sister meet with him anytime? So it doesn't matter if it's sooner or later, right?"

"But……"

Misaka Mikoto hesitated for a moment, then said, "But our side was first..."

"It's not a matter of order... You see, my older sister can meet anytime! As for us, Haru and I finally had some free time that day, so it's more urgent for us."

Misaka Mikoto, seeing Shirai Kuroko's somewhat flustered appearance, narrowed her eyes and said, "Could it be that you already agreed to the other party before I did?"

"Ha...haha," Shirai Kuroko chuckled dryly, but readily admitted, "That's right, that's exactly it, Onee-sama. In order to prevent your servant Shirai Kuroko from becoming a person who breaks promises, please grant my request!"

Seeing this, Misaka Mikoto sighed and said, "Alright, I'll go see them. Let's set it for after the physical exam tomorrow?"

……

The next day, July 16th, was the day of the physical examination, which was also the time when the plot of the original work officially began. However, the Academy City had undergone too many changes because of Momo's arrival.

However, this change is currently brewing internally and has not yet affected the surface. Therefore, on the day of the physical examination, everything in Tokiwadai proceeded in an orderly manner.

If there's any difference, it's that Shirai Kuroko's performance is worse than in the original work, and Misaka Mikoto's momentum is also slightly weaker than in the original work. After all, if Misaka Mikoto goes all out now, the markings left by Mo Mo will immediately appear.

Although Misaka Mikoto no longer cares about these marks, if the researchers saw them, they would definitely cause an uproar.

Therefore, the two people's test scores fluctuated, which puzzled the researchers, but no one paid too much attention to it.

The result of a single ability test cannot represent everything, because the performance of an ability user is greatly related to their personal condition. For example, Shirai Kuroko's performance is affected by the extremely complex calculations involved in spatial teleportation, as even the slightest physical discomfort can affect her performance.

Therefore, although the physical examination revealed fluctuations in the two individuals' abilities, it did not cause any major commotion. After a brief inquiry, the researchers let the two individuals leave.

Next, everything seemed to unfold just like in the original story. The two arrived at the restaurant where they had initially met in the original story, and all they had to do was wait for Saten Ruiko and Uiharu Kazari to arrive.

Aside from... Misaka Mikoto having an uninvited guest by her side.

"Why are you here?!"
