The Legend of Level 0 in Academy City

How could that be! Persuading Jie Lu Chu Shi was just a fluke; it was only because he still had a conscience that he was able to convince him with a few words.

The thought of trying to persuade one side with just a few words over three days...

Startled by the madness in her heart, Inoue Hideka quickly shook her head, banishing the naive thoughts from her mind, and hurried a few steps toward Saten Ruiko.

By this time, most of the people outside had dispersed. Since nothing unexpected had happened, most people believed the claim that the mall was closed for the day and went to find other interesting places.

Saten Ruiko was talking to Uiharu Kazari when she saw Inoue Eika coming over. She said happily, "Inoue, I don't know why, but the explosion didn't happen. That's great! No one was hurt!"

"Yes, that's great!" Inoue Eika didn't intend to tell Saten Ruiko what he had just done, because he was afraid that Saten Ruiko would worry, after all, she was a level 4 esper.

Moreover, he just lied to Saten Ruiko, saying he was going to the toilet!

"Hey! What did you just do?" Misaka Mikoto said to Inoue Hideka as she walked over from a distance.

"What are you saying? Misaka-senpai, I don't understand!" Inoue Hideka pretended to be dumb.

"Liar! I clearly saw it just now..."

"I just went to the restroom. If you don't believe me, ask Saten. Does Misaka-senpai have a penchant for peeping at men while they use the restroom?" Inoue Eika immediately retorted, trying to justify herself when she saw that Misaka Mikoto was about to say something.

"You!" Misaka Mikoto was speechless. This girl was still so hateful! And she didn't even blink when she lied.

But I have no evidence, and yet I'm being accused of voyeurism when men use the restroom?

Ugh! Damn it! This guy! Why does he always make me feel so ashamed!

Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Adorable Railgun!

Inoue Hideka is wearing something completely different from her usual style today—

A black suit, black sunglasses perched on his nose, short, choppy hair hidden under a black felt hat—anime fans would feel an overwhelming sense of chuunibyou (adolescent delusions of grandeur), while real people would see him as both a thug and a gangster!

Of course, setting aside these negative aspects, Inoue Hidekazu's above-average face paired with a suit and tie is still quite handsome!

At this moment, Inoue Hideka ordered a latte and sat quietly in a corner of the jonaGardeN restaurant. There was also some fruit salad on the table. After making so many preparations, Inoue Hideka was only there for one thing—to watch the show!

When I was in class today, I noticed that Uiharu Kazari wasn't there. Inoue Eika asked Saten Ruiko about it, and it seems that Uiharu Kazari had a cold and fever and was staying home to recover.

At noon, when Misaka Mikoto and Shirai Kuroko went to visit Uiharu Kazari, they learned from Uiharu Kazari about the location of the Phantasm Trading Center and decided to take action.

Then Inoue Hideka remembered that Misaka Mikoto would be giving out a lot of cute fan service tonight, and Inoue Hideka certainly wouldn't miss such a good show!

For this reason, Inoue Hideka even went to a digital store to buy a good quality camera.

After disguising herself and making sure she wouldn't be recognized, Inoue Hideka sat leisurely in the restaurant, quietly waiting for Misaka Mikoto and Shirai Kuroko to arrive.

After nightfall, the delinquents were already seated and eating at the tables near the entrance.

Not long after Inoue Eika arrived, Misaka Mikoto and Shirai Kuroko followed.

Misaka Mikoto, who was originally sitting to the side, pretended to be expectant when she saw the delinquents arrive and went to find them.

"Want to know about the Phantasm Master?" the delinquent asked, glancing at Misaka Mikoto while eating.

"Um! I saw your comments online by chance. Could you tell me about them if you could?" Misaka Mikoto nodded, her hands behind her back, then clasped her hands together. "Please, that's it! Is that okay?"

it has started!

Inoue Hideka quickly switched the camera to video recording mode, then took out her phone and switched to the photo mode, pointing it at Misaka Mikoto.

"Click!" With the sound turned down to the lowest setting to ensure it wouldn't reach Misaka Mikoto, and because the restaurant was well-lit, there was no need to turn on the flash, Inoue Hideka took a picture of Misaka Mikoto with her hands clasped together.

"I don't know, go back quickly." The delinquent looked impatient, seemingly unwilling to reveal any information about the Imagine Master.

"Don't say that!" Misaka Mikoto said again.

"You're so annoying! It's bedtime for the kids."

"Huh? I'm not that childish!" Misaka Mikoto said in a sweet, coquettish voice, trying her best to look cute.

"Click!" I quickly pressed the shutter and got another picture of the cute Misaka Mikoto.

Meanwhile, Shirai Kuroko, sitting next to her, was so surprised that she spat out her drink.

“You’re definitely not a child! I quite like you!” Another delinquent, seemingly interested in Misaka Mikoto, chimed in.

"Ah! Really?" Misaka Mikoto seemed very surprised and excited, twisting her body as she said, "Then can you tell people?"

Looking at Misaka Mikoto like this, Inoue Hideka couldn't help but smile, and his eyebrows trembled slightly, as if he was enduring something.

"However, as expected, there's no such thing as a free lunch!" The delinquent stared lewdly at Misaka Mikoto's thighs, looking on with longing.

"Well, if you need money, they can still come up with some..."

"It's good to have money, and this is definitely the right thing to do at a time like this!" the delinquent said, standing up and reaching out to put his arm around Misaka Mikoto's shoulder.

Misaka Mikoto deftly squatted down, stood up, and spun around in place, nimbly dodging the delinquents.

"But people might still be a little scared!" she said timidly. "They don't really understand those kinds of things. Is it really not okay to give them money?"

As Shirai Kuroko's heart sank, she slammed her head on the table, making a loud thud.

"You're not a child anymore, are you?" the scoundrel said with a lewd glint in his eyes.

"She lied to her family." Misaka Mikoto said, her eyes brimming with tears, looking all delicate and pitiful.

"Crack!"

"Huh? What are you saying all of a sudden?" The delinquent was a little confused and couldn't keep up with Misaka Mikoto's train of thought.

"All I can rely on is the Illusionist!" she said, placing her hand over her eyes and actually squeezing out tears. "So, can't I really tell her?"

"Pfft!" Inoue Hideka couldn't help but laugh out loud when he saw Misaka Mikoto looking at the delinquents with a blushing face and an expectant expression, as if she were saying, "Come on, have sex with me!" In his surprise, he even threw his sunglasses away.

The sound was a bit loud, and Shirai Kuroko, who was kowtowing there, immediately turned her face toward the source of the sound.

Misaka Mikoto also saw Inoue Hideka, her eyes twitching as if she was about to explode. However, remembering her mission, she tried her best to hold back.

That guy! What's he doing here!

Oops!

Inoue Eika cried out inwardly, and before anyone could react, she grabbed the camera from the table, ignoring even the glasses that had fallen to the ground, and stumbled past Misaka Mikoto.

As Inoue Hideka ran out the door, Misaka Mikoto felt her worldview collapsing. What had she just seen?

That's... a camera!

Shirai Kuroko watched the panicked figure run away and thought to herself, "That pervert? What's he doing here? Wait, a camera?"

Seemingly having thought of something, Shirai Kuroko revealed a perverted grin. If only she could get her hands on that camera... Hehehe...

After running quite a distance, Inoue Hideka finally stopped, panting heavily. If he were caught now, he would be killed, wouldn't he?

Damn it! Why did you have to laugh?!

But it's so cute! It's almost unfair!

Misaka Mikoto's adorable antics are absolutely heart-stopping!

I returned to the dormitory unharmed, and Misaka Mikoto didn't chase after me. It seems she's continuing her games with the delinquents!

It's just past seven o'clock, no rush to rest, let's train a little longer.

After reaching a plateau in improving her physical fitness, Inoue Hideka began practicing arm and leg strength, and the sandbag came in handy, so she didn't need to change her training equipment.

"Bang bang bang!" Using three sandbags at the same time, a punch knocks the sandbag in front of him away, a side kick sweeps away the sandbag that crashes in from behind, and an elbow strike pushes away the sandbag that crashes in from the side. While improving efficiency, it can also train the body's agility.

After training until 10 p.m., Inoue Hideka took a cold shower and then drifted off to sleep.

Early in the morning, surrounded by an annoying heat, Inoue Hideka had no choice but to get up and take a cold shower.

"Seriously! Why would the power go out in the middle of summer?! Looks like the building management isn't very responsible!" Inoue Eika finished washing up and, while considering whether she should move to a new place, walked towards Kamijou Touma's dorm.

I'll have breakfast first and cool off there. I wonder if Toma's place is also experiencing a power outage.

Upon arriving at Touma Kamijou's dormitory, as soon as we entered the floor where Touma Kamijou lived, we saw a layer of white stuff covering the balcony.

Upon closer inspection, it was a girl dressed in a nun's habit and wearing a nun's cap. Inoue Hideka looked at the little girl in surprise.

Index? Is it today? But if that's the case, then Touma's dorm is also without power, right?

And all the food expired because the refrigerator wasn't keeping it cold enough. Hmm? Looks like I came to the wrong place today...

However, it's not good to leave the little nun unattended like this.

"Hey!" Inoue Eika called out, gently nudging the little nun.

"My stomach..." The little nun murmured, groggily opening her eyes, "My stomach... is hungry..."

"Huh? Even if you say that, I don't have any food! I came here to eat too!"

"I'm hungry." Seeing that Inoue Eika didn't react, the little nun repeated, "I said I'm very hungry!"

Chapter Thirty: The Gluttonous Nun!

Unable to resist Index's expectant gaze, Inoue Eika couldn't help but say, "Um? Then wait here for me, I'll go buy you something to eat."

"Yes! Thank you!" Index nodded, revealing an innocent smile.

"Bang!"

Just as Inoue Eika was about to leave, the door to Kamijou Touma's dormitory opened, and Kamijou Touma, with his spiky hair, came out carrying a blanket.

"Ah, Eika, you're here? You're here so early today..." Touma Kamijou looked at Eika Inoue, his eyes noticing Index hanging on the balcony. "By the way, who's that? Why is it hanging on my balcony? Is it your friend, Eika?"

"Uh, no..."

"I'm so hungry!" Inoue Eika was interrupted by Index before she could finish speaking, along with the rumbling protest of Index's stomach.

"Um, Touma, do you have anything to eat at home?" Inoue Hideka asked, clinging to a sliver of hope.

"Hmm... food?" Touma Kamijou thought for a moment, "It seems like there's some expired bread..."

"Hey, if you can feed me well, I'll be very grateful!" Index said happily as soon as she heard there was bread to eat.

"Anyway, Touma, you should put the blanket down first." Inoue Eika looked at Kamijou Touma standing there holding the blanket and felt tired for him.

Inside, the three sat around a small table on the floor. Inoue Eika said, "Um, Touma, isn't there anything else we can eat besides expired bread?"

"There are still some vegetables in the refrigerator that might have gone bad..." Touma Kamijou said hesitantly.

"Don't you feel any remorse when you say these things? You definitely wanted to just fry those things up and feed them to this little nun, didn't you?" Inoue Hideka recalled what happened in the original story and couldn't help but feel sorry for the little nun. How could Touma bear to do that to such an innocent little girl! Although in the end, he had a change of heart and ate it.

Index watched from the side, looking like she really wanted to eat. Inoue Eika was very troubled. This big-eater nun would eat anything when she was hungry!

"Fine, I'll go out and buy some food now. Until then, Touma, don't feed this little nun any random stuff!" Inoue Eika stood up and warned Kamijou Touma fiercely, "I'll be back soon, so don't close the door."
