Blue magic enveloped his arm, with a dreamy azure light swirling around it like a group of floating sprites, quickly gathering into a ball of energy in his palm before casually tossing it behind him.

"Ah...why did they suddenly attack us?" Frenda was so frightened that she hid behind Mugino.

Having agreed to join the Dark Side, Aragami's last-minute defection was too unethical. Mugino Shizuri's eyes immediately surged with malice, and four orange-yellow orbs of light appeared in front of him, four rays of atomic collapse, rushing straight towards the energy body.

Each of the Level 5 members of Academy City possesses their own pride. Mugino Shizuri is very confident in the destructive power of her atomic cannon. She guesses that in their last encounter, the Aragami threatened Frenda because he feared her power! Yes, that must be it!

(...Last night's battle with Accelerator was so intense that the "item" was sent back before the fight was even over. If Mugino Shizuri had seen the battle that couldn't even be called a battle—the battle where Aragami tormented Kakane Teitoku—she definitely wouldn't have thought this way.)

laugh!

In the next instant, with a sound like a flame being extinguished by water, the four green atomic cannons fiercely clashed with the azure power and instantly evaporated into a small wisp of green smoke that dissipated!

Mugino's abilities tend to cause continuous damage; four orange-green light sources act like launch pads, endlessly shooting out penetrating, devastatingly powerful green beams.

In the end, all that was gained was a pitiful wisp of smoke.

The azure power, initially the size of a fist, expanded rapidly during its flight, blooming like a lotus flower, and engulfed the other scattered atomic cannons along with it...

This is not even a clash between equals... What kind of power is this?!

Mugino Shizuri suddenly recalled that when he subdued the entire team that day, Aragami hadn't even revealed his ranged abilities!

That dark, glowing energy, mixed with a deep blue hue, transformed into a raging inferno that engulfed the world reflected in her eyes.

"Captain Mugino!!!!!"

Takitsubo Rigo and Kinuhata Saiai, two people who lacked confidence in their ability to escape, were already ashen-faced with fear. Frenda, still relatively conscious, desperately clung to her waist, calling out Mugino's name to pull her back to her senses.

Mugino gritted his teeth, grabbed the three girls with his backhand, and used all his strength to activate his Atomic Collapse ability towards the ground, rushing out at the limit before the destructive azure light arrived.

They fell more than a hundred meters to the right, each of them wincing in pain as they tried to get up.

Boom—! Boom boom boom boom boom!!!

The energy body pierced through the steel gate and flew directly into the research institute. The unstable energy violently dissipated, and the deep dark blue, along with the lightning flashing at the moment the machines were about to fail, soared into the sky and swept through like a torrent, destroying the entire research institute.

The sky was a mix of silver lightning and ghostly azure, and the shattered center of the research institute had become a hellish, insurmountable zone.

This scene turned Mugino Shizuri and the others pale.

After her initial shock, Misaka Mikoto was overjoyed.

"Araga! You...why are you attacking us!"

Although he was in the right, he was no match for Mugino Shizuri. His tone was both reasonable and lacking in confidence.

The other teammates also looked very upset, biting their lips and staring at him silently, demanding an explanation.

You're disturbing her!

Without turning his head, the obvious impatience in his tone was like a frozen river under the blazing sun, ready to turn into a murderous torrent at any moment, "...This is none of your business anymore, leave."

“Huh…“her”?” Mugino then took a serious look at Tina, who stood far away in the darkness. She didn’t say a word, but her clear and quiet gaze seemed to freeze time and space.

The usually aloof and indifferent Aragami actually... turned against them because of a girl!

This is really... really...

After thinking for a long time, only a "tsk" could express her uttered frustration.

"Let's go!"

Frenda rushed over to help Mugino up, asking with concern, "Waaah, are you alright, sister? You've scraped your skin all over, all because you saved us..."

Amidst the concerned words of their beloved Li, the group left in a rather disheveled state.

However, it seems that from beginning to end, even the explosion at the research institute did not disturb Tina in the slightest.

She seemed to be trapped in some indescribable state...

The strange silence left Misaka Mikoto and Kuroko momentarily at a loss, feeling like they were third wheels... Ugh, what are you talking about? They're just teacher and student.

but……

Just moments before, Aragami was firmly opposed to Misaka Mikoto, but after merely meeting Tina once, he not only resolved the Anbu's troubles but also destroyed the research institute with a single blow...

Such a disparity, such treatment, is truly unacceptable...

And all of this is because of the girl in front of me.

"Because the AI ​​was tampered with, even I was forgotten?" the wolf instructor wondered.

Otherwise, there would be no other explanation.

Tina looked at herself, and she must have felt a sense of familiarity and warmth. She tried desperately to remember her name, but she just couldn't. If that was the case... then perhaps it would be better not to make things difficult for Tina.

It's best not to meet with Tina until the culprit who tampered with Tina's AI is found and the AI ​​is reset.

The instructor's approach was not without reason.

It's so heartbreaking to see Tina so conflicted, wanting to say something but unable to recall anything.

So the instructor didn't say a single word to her from beginning to end.

Then, he was about to turn and leave.

In fact, her body had already twisted half a circle.

But just then, the girl's voice, as light as a gentle breeze, suddenly came along with the cold night wind.

The voice penetrated his very soul, freezing him in place as if he were petrified.

"Teacher... officer..."

几分钟前。

Kuroko and Tina come together to support Misaka Mikoto.

Both of them were genuinely happy to see that their older sister was safe and sound.

As Kuroko rushed toward Misaka, she didn't notice that Tina, upon seeing the man codenamed "Aragami," was suddenly jolted and stared blankly into space.

Why……

I'll have that feeling again...

Like "Owl," but unlike "Owl," she felt a sense of warmth and affection from the name but couldn't recall the person. At this moment, she felt a sense of familiarity and warmth from the middle-aged man, but... she couldn't remember his name at all!

who is he……

Who exactly is he...?

"Tina, oh my god~ Who is this man?! This is the first time you've stared at someone for so long!"

In the tree diagram, Beibei is acting like a child again.

“I don’t know either…” Tina communicated with it directly via radio waves, “but suddenly… I really want to call his name, I want—to be hugged by him…”

"Eh... Aa ...

“No…it’s not me. Maybe it is, but…it is…” Tina said blankly, “—another me.”

"You mean, the other Tina wants to be hugged by him?"

"..."

Because Tina desperately wanted to regain her memories, Bebe, who was always connected to her network, suddenly noticed something and exclaimed in surprise:

"A huge area of ​​your supercomputer's memory storage has been locked! Damn it... Who did this?!"

Perhaps the main god possesses extraordinary magical power, but magic is utterly useless in making a robot lose its memory. Only technology can counter technology, which is why Bebe was able to detect it so easily.

"Locked?" After her initial surprise, the girl asked, "Beibei, can you decipher the lock's program? I don't think I can decipher it on my own."

"Of course, but this lock program... tsk, even the most complex script in Academy City isn't a tenth as complex as it, so if I decipher it alone, it will take a bit longer... um, I mean, if Tina allows me to use your computing system to decipher it simultaneously, the time will be much shorter~"

"Then please use it."

"Core access control interaction of the computing system..."

Beibei felt a surge of excitement, wondering if their behavior, in the realm of intelligent machine dating, could be considered human sex!

Thinking of taking responsibility for her, Beibei activated its largest power level since it was created and began to decipher the program lock.

The combination of two top supercomputers, plus Beibei's wholehearted dedication, is far more than just 1+1.

A few minutes later, the program lock was completely cracked.

The sealed memories flooded into her sea of ​​memories like seawater overflowing.

Owl's Memory

...and the memories of Lee Seul-yu, the dolphin, and the sea dragon girl that are connected to it.

Secondly, there are memories of the instructors.

She understood everything.

"AI Tina... could you—say my regards to the instructor?"

After unlocking her memories, a voice suddenly intruded into her soul, striking Tina as if struck by lightning, freezing her in place.

It's another Tina!

...An unknown amount of time has passed since the world of Dragon Maid, and in this situation, she reappears because she saw her instructor. [See Chapter 36]

"Eee ...

Who knows what the principle is? Perhaps it's because the imaginary space originally belonged to Tina. Beibei, who could hear her voice, was startled.

Meanwhile, Beibei's radio waves are also converted into content in Tina's brain through the AI ​​center, making them known to "her".

"Huh?" The girl in her soul form exclaimed in surprise. "Shouldn't I be the one asking that? The guy inside AI Tina's body!"

As Beibei, playing away from home, trembled with fear, AI Tina quickly introduced her: "Beibei, this is the other Tina I was just talking about."

"Hey, AI Tina..."

"Say hello to the instructor? I understand."

"Hehe, AI Tina is the best to me."

“…” Tina was stunned.
