"That's what Misaki Shokuhou told me, and I saw it all with my own eyes, so it's impossible!"

Kuroko Shirai's final roar was heard by Accelerator, who blinked and said, "Shokuhou Misaki? Is that the name of the fifth person? Could it be that everything you knew before was told to you by the fifth person?"

Shirai Kuroko nodded subconsciously, while Accelerator, seeing this, was already clutching his stomach and could barely laugh anymore.

"How stupid and idiotic can you be! In this Academy City, even if you trust those scumbags, those inhuman researchers, and the criminals in prison, you can't trust the Fifth One!"

"Who is the fifth one? That's mind control, the ability to control everything others see and think!"

"Are you so sure that what you saw and heard was true?"

Accelerator was merely mocking Shirai Kuroko's stupidity, but his mockery was like a bucket of cold water poured over Shirai Kuroko's head.

Is Misaki Shokuhou...trustworthy?

Shirai Kuroko initially believed in Shokuhou Misaki, but this belief was based on the premise that Shokuhou Misaki was a victim, a victim of humiliation by Momo.

But... was Misaki Shokuhou a victim?

If Shirai Kuroko's trust in Shokuhou Misaki is based on the premise that everything Shirai Kuroko saw and heard that day... was also fake?

Having finally figured this out, Shirai Kuroko felt her whole body trembling, because she seemed to have trusted the person she should never have trusted, and then, based on this unfounded trust, denied the entire world.

It's like putting on sunglasses and seeing the whole world looking much dimmer, then blaming the sun for not working hard enough.

Such behavior... even the word "stupid" doesn't do it justice!

Because... she has already caused irreversible consequences.

Shirai Kuroko stared blankly at the villa, now a complete ruin. Gazing at the deathly darkness, she imagined the horrific state of Momo and Saten Ruiko, reduced to minced meat within those ruins.

"vomit--"

Suddenly, her stomach began to convulse. Shirai Kuroko felt as if her entire internal organs were convulsing, and her brain was also convulsing. She bent over in pain, gagging repeatedly, as if trying to vomit something up.

Shirai Kuroko knew what it was; it was her guilt, it was her regretful heart.

If what Accelerator said is true, then what Shirai Kuroko is doing now is taking the real culprit behind the scenes and personally killing Momo, who was also trying to protect her older sister and had even started to do so.

This is betrayal, this is stupidity, this is madness, this is an unforgivable sin.

This... is enough to destroy everything in Shirai Kuroko's heart.

The light in Shirai Kuroko's eyes vanished. She kept gagging, her body curled up in a ball, and her broken right leg swelled up, its curve becoming increasingly grotesque. But none of this could stop Shirai Kuroko's body from convulsing.

She looked like a broken doll, devoid of any will or reason.

"Tsk..."

Accelerator looked at the convulsing Shirai Kuroko with a hint of surprise and displeasure, and said, "In this state, isn't she completely broken?"

"I was hoping you could launch a counterattack and continue attacking me, so I could have some fun and have a reason to kill you."

"But the way you are... never mind, I'm too lazy to stomp on a worm."

After saying that, Accelerator ignored the completely destroyed Shirai Kuroko and walked step by step towards the ruins. He wanted to confirm his just-conquered victory. After all, Momo seemed to be a fairly strong ability user, and he wanted to confirm Momo's death with his own eyes.

Just then, the sound of a car speeding by came from afar. A luxury sedan drifted and stopped in the distance, and two girls got out of the car.

These two people are, of course, Fuuko Kurasaki and Mikoto Misaka.

"Oh, someone else is here?"

Accelerator tilted his head, looked at Misaka Mikoto, and said, "This is..."

His eyes lit up, and he said, "Hey, this is really interesting today! The original body has even come! Hahaha!"

Accelerator burst into laughter, and upon seeing Misaka Mikoto, he already foresaw what was about to happen.

As expected, just as Accelerator had predicted, Misaka Mikoto stared blankly at the villa that had become ruins, and in the distance, Shirai Kuroko was convulsing and looked to be in the worst possible condition.

A few seconds later, Misaka Mikoto staggered and came back to her senses from her daze, saying, "Kaede-nee... you should leave here first, go call the security guards, go call an ambulance."

Looking at Misaka Mikoto, who seemed somewhat dazed, Kurasaki Fuuko hesitated whether to tell her about Mo Mo's condition, because at this moment, Misaka Mikoto clearly believed that Mo Mo had encountered an accident.

After all, Momo's villa was in ruins, and Momo was clearly still inside. Even though Misaka Mikoto knew that Momo had a near-resurrection ability, judging from her appearance, she still seemed unable to accept it.

It's probably because Misaka Mikoto can no longer accept those days of waiting for hope in despair, even though that was the foundation of her relationship with Momo.

"I understand. Be careful."

In the end, Kurasaki Fuuko didn't say anything more. Since Misaka Mikoto was going to make a move, she wouldn't stop her. Because Kurasaki Fuuko knew that compared to her strength, Mo Mo would absolutely not allow Misaka Mikoto to get hurt.

After saying that, Kurasaki Fuuko stepped forward and said, "First one, it seems you have no desire to attack Shirai Kuroko anymore. May I take her with me?"

"Sister Fengzi!"

Misaka Mikoto was taken aback, not expecting Kurasaki Fuuko to be so calm and even dare to talk to that madman not far away.

However, seeing the calm expression on Kurasaki Fuuko's face, Misaka Mikoto ultimately did not stop him, but instead looked at Accelerator and waited for his reaction.

"Huh? You mean this broken thing on my back? Do whatever you want with it. I'm too lazy to get my shoes dirty anyway."

"After all, it was this guy who led me to the lair of this guy named Mo Mo, which allowed me to take action against this troublesome fellow. For that alone, I can let her go."

Kurasaki Fuuko nodded, ignoring Misaka Mikoto who was still in shock, and said, "Well then, I thank you here. I will take Shirai Kuroko away from the battlefield."

After saying that, Kurasaki Fuuko went straight to the convulsing Shirai Kuroko, ignoring the dirt on Shirai Kuroko's body, carefully picked her up and carried her to the car.

"Mikoto, be careful, I'll go find reinforcements."

Misaka Mikoto's face was ashen. Looking at Shirai Kuroko, who was in extremely poor condition, she nodded and said, "Don't worry, I won't act impulsively. I know what I'm doing."

Afterwards, Kurasaki Fuuko drove away, while Misaka Mikoto also set her sights on Accelerator.

"You're the first one, right? What exactly happened?!"

Misaka Mikoto questioned Accelerator, and Accelerator couldn't help but laugh out loud again.

He laughed so much today; it had been so long since he'd been this happy. After all, the farcical scene that unfolded today was just too funny!

"why are you laughing!"

Misaka Mikoto roared, but was met with Accelerator's disdainful words: "You really know absolutely nothing, third place."

What are you saying?!

"That brat named Shirai Kuroko, the one who calls you 'Big Sister,' knows more than you do, and she's desperately trying to cover up your darkness, even though she's been played terribly and is completely broken. She's still quite an interesting plaything."

"Your man, Momo, knows more than you do, and he's done so much for you, all while you remained completely in the dark. It's a shame he's probably crushed into mincemeat by now, isn't he?"

"And you, the third one, you're just a mascot, completely worthless."

Accelerator's taunts clearly angered Misaka Mikoto, who retorted, "Don't you dare tell me the truth?"

"You all come asking me for the truth, do you really think I'm someone you can just talk to?"

Accelerator spread his hands and sneered, "I'm too lazy to say any more words. If you've got the guts, then make your move, third one. You should know that I killed your man and destroyed that brat named Shirai Kuroko, and he's still standing in front of you now."

"Don't you dare to make a move?"

"Or rather, the man named Mo Mo who died was just a plaything of yours, and you didn't care whether he lived or died?"

"Come on, let's get started. Let me see just how capable you are, this so-called third person!"

Accelerator relentlessly mocked Misaka Mikoto. He had long been unhappy with this legendary third person because the Absolute Level 1 experiment was inextricably linked to Misaka Mikoto. If it weren't for Misaka Mikoto providing her genes, where would he find so many playthings that he couldn't kill off?

"Is that so..."

Hearing Misaka Mikoto's provocation, she calmed down considerably and said, "You asked for this!"

In an instant, a massive electric current exploded from Misaka Mikoto's body.

At this moment, Misaka Mikoto was truly angry.

Author's Note:

Second update

Is this all there is to 153?

The electric current emanated from Misaka Mikoto, spreading out like a bursting spider web, enveloping her entirely in a hemispherical electric grid several meters in diameter.

As soon as the massive electric current appeared, electromagnetic force followed, and everything inside the surrounding steel products, especially the building materials that were flying everywhere due to the collapse of the villa, began to move abnormally.

It was as if everything around her had begun to be influenced by Misaka Mikoto.

Misaka Mikoto decided to act, and she had to. The most important thing right now was to stop Accelerator from continuing his operation, since he was clearly there to kill.

Now, Momo needs Misaka Mikoto's protection!

On Accelerator's side, seeing Misaka Mikoto's immense presence, his eyes lit up. The greater the opponent's momentum, the more fun he could have. As for defeating him, defeating the strongest in Academy City, was that even possible?

"Interesting, very interesting indeed! As expected of a base body, just looking at this posture is enough to warrant my intervention. Indeed, playing with you as a base body is much more fun than playing with your clones!"

"I wonder how much experience I'll gain by killing you, the original body? I'm getting tired of this boring experiment anyway, killing you should speed up the process!"

"Come on, come on, let me see just how strong you really are, being the third-ranked LV5!"

As soon as Accelerator finished speaking, countless iron sands were attracted by Misaka Mikoto, emerging from the ground and replacing the electric grid around her, forming a massive iron sand storm.

"Ah, what kind of technique is this? Using electromagnetic force to control iron sand? This is really interesting! Come, come, let me see its power!"

"as you wish!"

With a roar, Misaka Mikoto unleashed a massive barrage of iron sand, which, like the powerful hand of a giant, lunged at Accelerator. If Misaka Mikoto so desired, this iron sand could not only exert tremendous power but also generate immense heat, enough to destroy everything within the iron sand storm, even steel.

However, what happened next completely stunned Misaka Mikoto.

With a strange, soft sound, the iron sand storm that Misaka Mikoto was controlling instantly shattered and disappeared, turning back into iron sand and falling to the ground. Misaka Mikoto's control was interrupted by the person in front of her.

It was as if an immense force had suddenly and forcibly taken control of the iron sand from Misaka Mikoto's hands.

"But it doesn't seem to be very useful... Hey, why do you have that expression? Could this be your special move? If so, you're really useless. You're only the third strongest in Academy City with this kind of strength. Are all the Level 5s in Academy City a bunch of lowlifes besides me?"

Misaka Mikoto's face turned ashen. She had never imagined that anyone would take her attack head-on, and so effortlessly at that.

Is this... the strength of the number one?

The number one in Academy City, codenamed Accelerator, whose specific abilities are unknown, but today, Misaka Mikoto has witnessed them firsthand.

However, she could not stop; she had to continue to stop Accelerator and prevent him from continuing his rampage.

"Not going to make a move? If not, then it'll be my turn. Third one, are you ready to die?"

Misaka Mikoto did not respond to Accelerator's provocation. Instead, she took out a coin and assumed the starting stance for her signature ability, Railgun.
