The Legend of Level 0 in Academy City

As Inoue Hideka sped up, he loudly asked Shokuhou Misaki, who was sitting in the back.

"This isn't something a junior like you can get involved in! I advise you not to ask too many questions."

Inoue Hideka remained silent and did not respond.

Misaki Shokuhou can be said to be the person who understands Inoue Hideka better than anyone else in the world, even more so than Saten Ruiko.

Since she said that, Inoue Hideka wanted to do something within her power for Shokuhou Misaki, who had always helped her, but she also believed that it was indeed not something she could interfere with.

Since that was the case, asking any more questions would only embarrass him, so he focused on driving his motorcycle towards the second school district.

The seventh school district is adjacent to the second school district, and the location of the school park is near the border of the second school district. After driving for about ten minutes, we had already entered the second school district.

"Um, Shokuhou-senpai, I don't know the exact location of the artificial intelligence room?"

"After crossing the bridge ahead, turn left at the second intersection, then continue straight..."

"Hold on tight, Shokuhou-senpai!"

Inoue Eika suddenly interrupted Shokuhou Misaki without offering any explanation. She only managed to shout before bending down and gripping the motorcycle handlebars with all her might.

Because, at the very moment Misaki Shokuhou was speaking, the motorcycle had already entered the area of ​​the bridge.

A cool breeze from the river under the bridge blew onto Inoue Hideka's face, causing him to squint.

At that moment, the road ahead suddenly bulged up strangely at an extremely fast speed, rising more than two meters high in less than a second.

Because the distance was too close, and there was no time to brake, Inoue Hideka could only maneuver the motorcycle quickly to the right to avoid the obstacle.

Bang!

The high-speed motorcycle was lifted up by the second raised spot on the ground directly below, and Inoue Hideka and Shokuhou Misaki, along with the motorcycle, were thrown high into the air and flew towards the small river to the side.

"Waaaaaah..."

Bang!

Inoue Hideka heard Misaki Shokuhou's shout suddenly stop, and then her body fell headfirst into the river.

Glug glug!

Caught off guard, she swallowed several mouthfuls of river water. After surfacing, Inoue Hideka spat out the water she hadn't swallowed and hurriedly searched for Misaki Shokuhou.

"Hey...I can't...swim..."

Inoue Hideka looked around; the motorcycle was nowhere to be seen, probably sunk to the bottom of the river.

Misaki Shokuhou struggled and screamed, slapping the water's surface with her hands, about 5 meters behind Eika Inoue.

Inoue Hideka quickly swam over, wrapped one arm around Shokuhou Misaki's waist, and swam vigorously toward the shore.

"Pfft! Pfft!"

Feeling Misaki Shokuhou spit all the water from her mouth onto herself, and feeling the heaviness in her arm, Inoue Hideka said helplessly:

"Shokuhou-senpai, don't hug me so tightly! It's making it really difficult for me to move around!"

At this moment, Misaki Shokuhou was clinging to Inoue Hidekazu's body, her hands tightly gripping Inoue Hidekazu's arms, causing Inoue Hidekazu, who already struggled to move with one hand, to now crawl forward like a snail.

"If you have the energy to talk, you might as well hurry up and take me to the shore! You know I'm afraid of water!"

Even in the water, with the buoyancy of the water, Inoue Hideka could feel two huge mounds pressed against his arm, constantly rubbing against his skin as he paddled.

Although I was quite surprised by this sudden situation, my body obediently reacted.

With a flushed face, Inoue Hideka struggled to control her restless emotions, enduring the agonizing torment and the embarrassment of paddling with one hand at an incredibly slow pace, finally reaching the shore two minutes later.

"I said... Ha... Shokuhou-senpai... Phew... What... Ha... What... What happened?"

With her hands on her knees, Inoue Hideka gasped for breath as she asked Misaki Shokuhou, who was standing to the side patting her chest in shock.

call!

Misaki Shokuhou let out a soft sigh, frowning and looking down irritably at her body, which was completely soaked and whose curves were exposed to the air.

"That incredibly cunning old fox managed to escape; looks like he's planning to get his revenge."

"Old fox?"

Inoue Hideka asked doubtfully, then thought for a moment and said suspiciously, "Could it be Kihara Gensei?"

"Hmph! Of course not. Did you think I would let him make a move on the outsiders and the sisters?"

In the original work, during the Daihasei Festival, Kihara Gensei seized control of the external brain and infected the sisters' brains with a virus. He took advantage of Dory's friend, Kensei, who wanted revenge for Dory, to cooperate with him. In the end, he caused Misaka Mikoto to go berserk and almost become a Level 6 who could self-destruct the moment she arrived.

Fortunately, Misaki Shokuhou took a huge risk to let Gensei Kihara read the self-destruct code, which deactivated the virus.

With the help of Touma Kamijou's seventh esper, Gunhachi Shogi, Misaka Mikoto was restored to her original form.

The external brain is a giant brain created by cutting off a portion of Misaki Shokuhou's cerebral cortex, cultivating it, and then enlarging it.

On the surface, it is a booster that amplifies and expands Misaki Shokuhou's abilities. Through the "external brain," Misaki Shokuhou can control thousands of people several kilometers away at once.

In fact, external brain-derived devices can not only amplify abilities, but also transfer those abilities to others.

Anyone who has logged into "Exterior," whether they are a power user or an ordinary civilian without developed abilities, can gain the power to exercise "mental control."

Having seen Inoue Eika's memories, Shokuhou Misaki naturally understood the extent of the threat Kihara Gensei would pose later, and therefore took action against Kihara Gensei in advance.

However, from Misaki Shokuhou's words, Inoue Hideka could tell that the operation had not gone too smoothly, and Kihara Gensei had ultimately escaped.

It seems that the attack on the bridge just now was also the work of Kihara Gensei. Inoue Hideka pondered, stroking her chin.

"So, the reason why Shokuhou-senpai was in such a hurry to go to the talent workshop is because..."

"There's no need to worry too much about that. I've made sufficient preparations over there. The reason I'm rushing over is just to prevent any unexpected events from happening..."

Da da, da da,

Squeak~ Squeak~

Suddenly, footsteps and the sound of machinery colliding came from the grassy area by the river.

Inoue Hideka and Shokuhou Misaki, who was speaking, looked warily toward the source of the sound—dozens of mechanical dogs shaped like Great Danes were slowly approaching.

It's Yoshio Baba's robot!

Inoue Hideka's mind was filled with alarm bells.

Yoshiro Baba is a member of the dark organization 'Member'. He is an excellent hacker who focuses on intelligence gathering and uses remote control of multiple canine robots as a means of attack and intelligence gathering.

In the original work, Kihara Gensei used Keisaku Kan's orders to infiltrate the organization, and it seems that Keisaku Kan has now been able to infiltrate it.

Don't be fooled by the fact that in the original work, whether it's Mitsuko after marriage, Misaka Mikoto, or even Awafuki Manbin and Wannai Kinuho, they could all easily defeat her.

However, Inoue Hideka, who is powerless, and Shokuhou Misaki, who cannot control machines, will have a much harder time dealing with Ueba Yoshiro's fearless and painless mechanical dogs.

"Shokuhou-senpai, stand behind me..."

Inoue Hideka pulled Shokuhou Misaki behind her with one hand and took out a stun gun she carried with her with the other, striking her legs.

Fortunately, after these few days of intensive training, the calf muscles of both legs have been fully strengthened, and the body's speed has improved once again.

However, even under these circumstances, Inoue Hideka still did not believe that he could defeat these disgusting things.

Moreover, Yoshiro Baba cleverly avoided the scene, and was secretly watching from some corner, rendering Misaki Shokuhou's abilities completely useless.

However, even if Inoue Hidekazu manages to destroy some of these mechanical dogs, there will be a constant stream of robots to replace them.

Inoue Hideka couldn't help but smile bitterly. How could she have to face death again so soon after leaving the hospital?

Chapter 122 Mechanical Dog and Giant Mantis

The mechanical dog is not particularly large, only about one meter long and half a meter high. The front of its mouth is connected to a straw-like tentacle that is half a meter long and 3 cm in diameter.

Inoue Hideka watched cautiously as the mechanical dogs, which were closing in from all directions, grew ever closer, their brows furrowed deeply.

I'm thick-skinned and tough; I won't die even if the mechanical dog scratches me a few times.

But if Misaki Shokuhou's frail body were to be hit by a mechanical dog...

It may be difficult, but we must protect her!

call!

Suddenly, a mechanical dog pounced on Misaki Shokuhou from behind. Inoue Hideka caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of her eye, kicked the charging mechanical dog away.

After six months of training, Inoue Hideka has considerable strength, and with the recent strengthening of his calves, his legs can be said to have a strength of at least several hundred kilograms.

Although the mechanical dog was made entirely of metal, its weight could not withstand the impact from Inoue Hidekazu's legs.

boom!

Stimulated by the electric current, Inoue Hideka moved incredibly fast, his figure darting about as he punched another mechanical dog in the face, sending it flying.

Stab it!

After swinging his fist and sending another mechanical dog flying, Inoue Hideka's left shoulder was suddenly scratched by a mechanical dog that pounced from the side and behind, and his clothes were torn with a ripping sound.

A bloody scratch was also left on his shoulder.

Misaki Shokuhou looked at Inoue Hideka, who was jumping around her and trying her best to protect her, with an unprecedentedly serious expression.

These robotic dogs were clearly after me; this is evident from the order in which they attacked.

He's been protected by his junior, who has no special abilities, once again...

For Misaki Shokuhou, those rats who had caused her such humiliation were simply unforgivable!

He had previously boasted that this was not something he could get involved in, but now he's the one protecting them.

And because she fell into the water, she was seen in such a shameful state by a man other than 'him'...

Misaki Shokuhou's face was frosty, and thanks to Inoue Eika's protection, which involved her own injury, no mechanical dog could get close to her.

While keeping an eye on Inoue Hideka's situation, he took out his phone and made a call.

beep...beep...

"Hello, Your Majesty, what are your orders?"

"Immediately pull up the information on the 'Anbu' 'personnel' Baba Yoshiro, and then use all available manpower and resources to find out his location as quickly as possible! Also, send a few ability users to come and meet me."

Misaki Shokuhou's voice was very calm, lacking its usual elegance and allure; beneath the calm lay a hint of murderous intent.

Just from her voice, it was clear that the Queen of Tokiwadai was extremely angry.

The battle took place by the river, which gave Inoue Hideka a considerable advantage.
