The Infinite World of Weapon Girls

[Ta139 Have you ever seen an update at 4 AM?]

"I'm curious, what happens after this threat, 'If I just press this button, you will...'?"

"Nothing will happen!" Misaki Shokuhou gritted her teeth, both ashamed and angry, glaring at him. "Tokiwadai Middle School is my territory. Let me go now and kneel down and lick your toes to apologize, and I might consider letting bygones be bygones! Otherwise, I'll call for help...!!"

Tina asked curiously, "But didn't you also say, 'Even if you scream your lungs out here, no one will come to save you'?"

Shokuhou blushed and subconsciously argued, "Tch! I'm a Level 5 Mind Control esper; I don't necessarily have to shout to call people."

"Oh, so you're using your special mental healing spell right now?" Tina glanced at her thoughtfully and nodded seriously. "...Then you should definitely press it. Maybe it can even interrupt your spellcasting."

"No! Wait a minute!! Yamete!!!" Both her eyes and her slightly trembling body revealed deep terror.

Pi——PiPiPiPiPiPiPiPiPi——

However, the girl ignored Misaki Shokuhou's terror and instead stuck out her little finger and pressed the button ten times in one go.

Crackling sounds filled the air as visible white-blue electricity burst forth from the gaps in the chair, seeping into the skin and coursing through the body. The dazzling electric light almost revealed the entire human skeleton.

"————Aa ...

The sudden surge in decibels, mixed with the mental impact of the AIM diffusion field, was enough to cure severe epilepsy; ordinary people couldn't withstand it.

Even with all this, Tina remained expressionless.

Tina didn't know if pressing it ten times would multiply the damage tenfold, but looking at Misaki Shokuhou after receiving electrotherapy, being burned and disheveled was certain. The twitching and spasms left by the aftereffects alone made people imagine the worst possible outcome.

correct!

Tina will never forget why she came into being. Her built-in program is that she sees Misaka-sama as the meaning of her life and has an obligation to clear all obstacles for Misaka-sama.

"You're not allowed to cause trouble for Misaka-sama anymore. If you see Misaka-sama on the street, you have to avoid her... Do you agree?"

Is that even possible?! If this guy didn't have some kind of ability to be immune to mental attacks, she, the dignified Level 5 Queen of Tokiwadai, wouldn't have ended up as a prisoner! Moreover, Misaka Mikoto is her destined enemy, and such a humiliating promise would never be agreed to by the proud and arrogant Shokuhou Misaki...!!

"I...I promise..."

As if I hadn't said anything...

Despite her proud and arrogant nature, Queen Shokuhou chose to temporarily compromise after enduring an electric shock, opting to retreat in order to advance.

however.

"Eee-yaa ...

After yet another inexplicable electric shock, Misaki Shokuhou, already severely traumatized both mentally and physically, gritted her teeth and glared angrily at the girl who had pressed the remote control a second time, saying, "Are you crazy?! I already agreed, why did you shock me again?!"

"Fun."

His beautiful and alluring eyes glanced at her, then he lowered his head and continued pressing the buttons, as if determined to eliminate any future trouble.

She suffered unprecedented humiliation, and Misaki Shokuhou never intended to spare her from the beginning.

Based on the conventional wisdom that "robots cannot possess 'personal reality'", she believed that Tina simply happened to have a means of defending against mental attacks... So, let her break through this defense with her strongest attack!!

The long-awaited ultimate move was unleashed. At the same moment Tina pressed the remote control, the usually weak AIM diffusion field erupted like a tsunami!

The empty void seemed to be filled with a kind of spiritual force, creating a suffocating sense of oppression!

"Die!!!" Misaki Shokuhou screamed with her eyes tightly closed.

Robot AI is aware of the existence of its own wisp of soul consciousness. They were even once almost one with each other, sharing memories and emotions, but not long ago, a mysterious force sealed away their soul consciousness.

"Emotional learning" is a necessary step to break the seal. If the soul's consciousness is forcibly pulled out without this process, the consequences will be unimaginable...?

How terrifying is the full power of Level 5? Accelerator can manipulate the winds of the entire Academy City, Misaka Mikoto can trigger lightning strikes and launch 300-ton aircraft, and Shokuhou Misaki's rage is naturally extraordinary as well.

Under such vast and boundless power, a single thought could determine life and death. And when this boundless power acted upon Tina… it was like the ocean overflowing into an abyss, capturing the soul and consciousness hiding beneath its depths.

"I...am...after all...a defective product..."

The "threat level -100" is a scientific finding, based on the reality that "robots have no emotions." However, when a soul's consciousness breaks free from its constraints, this reality becomes a joke to her.

A robot with even the slightest emotion is... the most failed, defective product.

In the same instant.

Misaki Shokuhou, and Tina standing in front of her, both fell unconscious at the same time.

School is over. Please leave school as soon as possible and be careful on your way home...

In the quiet of dusk, a broadcast announcement drifted through the air above the college.

The large flowerbed where Tina made her promise, a scenic spot in the center of Tokiwadai Academy, is surrounded by a riot of colorful flowers. There are several lifelike white dove sculptures and the Tokiwadai logo with a four-leaf clover pattern, which still shines brightly under the glow of the setting sun.

The logo is said to embody the concept of elite education: "to create top international talents during compulsory education," which is why Tokiwadai only accepts "Level 3 strong ability users and above."

Tina can easily get accepted with her Lv5 Imaginary Space ability, right? Then I'll have another cute junior schoolmate?

On one hand, she was worried that her secret would be discovered and cause consequences; on the other hand, Misaka Mikoto was concerned that her wishful thinking might ruin Tina's future.

That being said...

Misaka Mikoto, sitting listlessly on the bench, glanced at her watch, then slightly raised her eyebrows and sighed, "Sigh..."

It's already six o'clock...

We agreed to meet at five o'clock, right? Where is Tina? The problem is, we didn't exchange phone numbers right away, otherwise we wouldn't have been waiting like this.

Haru and Saten Ruiko, who were together, went back first.

"Big sister."

Shirai Kuroko walked over from a short distance away and sat down next to Misaka, holding a bottle of beverage in one hand and handing her a bottle of coconut apple juice in the other.

"Thanks……"

Misaka Mikoto responded casually, took the coconut apple juice but didn't open it, just placed it on the chair, then rested her chin on her hands, staring blankly at the ground.

Even Misaka herself wasn't confident she could escape unscathed after being captured by Misaki Shokuhou, especially since she was the one who was kidnapped; worry and self-blame were inevitable.

"It's been more than an hour since we agreed, so they probably won't be coming. Big sister, you should go back with Kuroko."

Seeing Misaka Mikoto suffer, Kuroko felt bad too. Therefore, her older sister's unmoved attitude wouldn't make her give up, and she continued to patiently persuade her:

"She was the one who stood you up first, so your departure now doesn't count as breaking your promise. If she can't find you, she should have thought to look for you at the student dormitory if she used her brain. So don't worry, at least have dinner with Kuroko first... Besides, you've only known her for less than a day, why not offer this sincerity to your dear Kuroko?"

As Kuroko spoke, she leaned closer to her affectionately. Just as she was about to fall into her older sister's arms, Misaka Mikoto suddenly stood up, and Kuroko landed face-first on the chair.

"It hurts...it hurts so much..."

But Misaka Mikoto didn't even glance at her, got up and turned back along the same route, saying:

"No, I'm going to find Misaki Shokuhou."

Kuroko was furious. She accompanied her older sister to find the suddenly appearing rival, but could only do things in a defeated and resentful manner. She quickly jumped up and chased after Misaka Mikoto.

"Oh dear...! Wait for me, big sister... Kuroko will go with you."

However, finding Misaki Shokuhou is no easier than finding Tina, even though the two are likely still together.

Students in Tokiwadai usually form factions in groups of three to five, and Misaki Shokuhou, the "Queen" of the largest faction in Tokiwadai, has followers all over Tokiwadai Middle School, which has only 200 students.

School was over, and Misaka Mikoto and Kuroko greeted the female students on their way home with kindness. Even if they randomly drew names, they could easily draw members of the Shokuhou Queen faction.

Being interrogated by the famous Railgun was an incredibly honorable yet nerve-wracking experience for outsiders. Despite their willingness to answer all questions, Misaka Mikoto had no clues whatsoever. Instead, she couldn't refuse the invitation and signed more than a dozen autographs for her juniors.

"Hey! You Shokuhou faction guys, why are you so happy to get your boss's mortal enemy's autograph?!"

Seeing this, Hei Zi angrily came over and questioned him.

The two female students who were traveling with her excitedly put away Misaka's handwritten note. One of them looked up, her face flushed with shyness, and said:

"Because both Misaka-senpai and Shokuhou-senpai are Level 5s standing at the top of Academy City... and they are the direction we all dream of striving for! Our greatest wish is that one day we can fight alongside the powerful and beautiful Misaka-senpai, and then... become Misaka-senpai's best friend like you..."

When he finished speaking, he not only buried his head completely, but his voice also disappeared.

Ah, in short, aren't they just a bunch of guys who want to have a yuri relationship with their older sister?

Only then did Shirai Kuroko realize that, despite living with her older sister day and night, she had always been the target of envy from all the male and female beings who were infatuated with Misaka Mikoto.

Another junior student, very well-behaved and sensible, quickly took out paper and pen again and handed them to Shirai Kuroko, her face full of admiration and longing: "Shirai-senpai is an excellent disciplinary committee member in the entire Seventh District, she's really... amazing! So, please be sure to sign my autograph too, my idol!"

“Me too!” another person exclaimed, looking up.

Ahhh, what an understanding junior! I'll inherit your yuri spirit and win over my older sister as soon as possible...

As Kuroko thought to herself, she took the paper and pen with the demeanor of an elder, first sighing, "Sigh, I really can't do anything with you guys...", then she became earnest, "Being a disciplinary committee member is difficult, but standing out among your fellow disciplinary committee members is even more difficult. As for how I did it, have you ever seen Academy City at four in the morning... Okay, signed."

The two female students bowed slightly, accepted the autographs, and said, "Ah... thank you, thank you so much, Shirai-senpai and Misaka-senpai."

The other one pulled the first one away, and before leaving, she turned her head and said, "Although I don't quite understand what Shirai-senpai is saying, I'll get Qiqi up at four o'clock tomorrow and go out to take a look."

"Ah, well, you don't need to work too hard. The seniors will be under a lot of pressure." Kuroko chuckled and waved goodbye to the two.

So, what started as a plan to visit Misaki Shokuhou turned into an autograph session?!

However, it does touch on a key point: Level 5 espers are a rare existence with only seven individuals in Academy City. Unless they actively reveal themselves, their whereabouts are elusive, and even within the Shokuhou faction, there is not a single clue.

Misaka Mikoto was feeling down. She glanced at her watch; the hour hand was pointing to 6:30.

When I looked up again, most of the students in the college had left.

Just after signing his name and saying goodbye to his two female classmates, three familiar faces walked towards him.

To be precise, the first ones to be "met" were two female students.

The girl who was the leader of the three had long black hair that reached past her shoulders, with two tufts of hair hanging down to her ears. She was also wearing the Tokiwadai uniform. She stepped forward and opened the folding fan in her hand with a 'whoosh'.

"Don't you know that I am Konohara Mitsuko from Tokiwadai Middle School? I never refuse an autograph."

"Ah... ah... no need, thank you senior, I have to go now... Qiqi, let's go..."

As they spoke, one grabbed the other and quickly disappeared, their voices faintly audible: "...That strange senior who just transferred to the school, the one everyone's talking about, is that really him? He's lost his mind trying to get autographs..."

After the marriage, Mitsuko was accompanied by her classmates, Wanai Kinuho and Awafuki Manbin, whom she had temporarily met.

Even when politely declined, he would only half-cover his face with a folding fan and express his regret: "Oh ho ho ho ho ho~~, it seems that many people are unaware of my 'Wind God's' fame since I first arrived in Tokiwadai."

Ah, of course she's not officially recognized, but rather self-proclaimed as Tokiwadai's "Wind God" and "Thunder God" along with Railgun; she's just a chuunibyou (delusional) girl.
