"Teacher, when I was young, I had my abilities developed. An accident occurred during the development process and I almost died in the research institute. Although I was saved by the hospital's treatment, the price I paid was that I could not accept many radical ability development methods. So since then, my abilities have stagnated!"

This is not a lie. The Misaka Mikoto in this world almost died because of the development of her ability, so she chose to merge her soul with Uchiha Izumi, sacrificing herself in exchange for the continuation of life.

After all, Academy City is not a bright place, and there are countless dark ability research institutions. Cases like Misaka Mikoto who almost died because of ability development are not uncommon in Academy City.

So after hearing Misaka Mikoto's explanation, the teacher could only sigh helplessly:

"What a pity. With your qualities, you should have no problem becoming a Level 4. But something unexpected like this happened..."

"Forget it, you go first, next..."

Since it was a physical problem, the teacher did not embarrass Misaka Mikoto and continued with the next test. Misaka Mikoto did not say anything else and just left the place where the ability test was conducted calmly, seemingly not caring about the results of the ability test at all. Afterwards, she neither stayed to watch the test results of other students nor wandered around the campus. After finishing the ability test, Misaka Mikoto went straight to her dormitory.

Originally, Misaka Mikoto was not a very sociable person. She was not like Shokuhou Misaki who could form a large faction, nor like Shirai Kuroko who joined the Discipline Committee. After merging with Uchiha Izumi, she was even more so. She had no interest in other people's affairs and didn't want to pay attention to them. In the eyes of everyone, she was just a casual, muddle-headed person who just muddled through life.

She just dealt with her abilities and studies. She lived a simple life between the classroom, the cafeteria, and the dormitory. She had no interest in caring about others or other things. She just repeated her simple life. In fact, she didn't even have a close friend in Tokiwa Taichung, a prestigious school full of young ladies.

Of course, if I have to say, there is also a friend who is not really a friend.

When Misaka Mikoto returned to her dormitory, she opened the door and saw the girl with honey-colored hair and a growing body in the bed next to her. She was one of the few people who could be called a friend during Misaka Mikoto's student life in Tokiwadai.

Her name is Shokuhou Misaki. Unlike Misaka Mikoto who looks gloomy, withdrawn and incompetent, she can be said to be the most dazzling star in Tokiwadai Junior High School.

In terms of ability, she is one of only six Level 5s in the entire Academy City, ranking fourth among the six Level 5s. She is one of the strongest ability users in Tokiwadai and even in the entire Academy City.

Socially, she has already formed her own faction in Tokiwadai Junior High School at the age of just one year, and has countless admirers. Even in several surrounding schools, many students regard her as an idol, and her popularity is comparable to that of a star.

Originally, these two people who are completely opposite should have no intersection, but I don't know if it's a coincidence of fate or someone's intention, these two people are roommates living under the same roof. It is precisely because of this that Misaka Mikoto can have such a friend who is not really a friend.

When Misaka Mikoto returned to the dormitory, Shokuhou Misaki was lying on the bed, letting her curvy body embed into the bedding. She put the phone to her ear with one hand and supported her chin with the other. Her two delicate feet wrapped in lace stockings were shaking back and forth. From time to time, she let out a bell-like laugh, and it seemed that she was chatting happily with someone.

Hearing the sound of Misaka Mikoto opening the dormitory door, she hung up the phone, looked back with bright eyes, and asked Misaka Mikoto:

"How's it going, Misaka-san? Have your abilities improved?"

"No, it's still Level 3."

Without any concealment or lies, Misaka Mikoto directly reported the ability level she had just tested.

"Oh? Really?" After hearing Misaka Mikoto's answer, Shokuhou Misaki, a Level 5 esper, neither mocked her nor comforted her, who had not made any progress in her abilities. Instead, she smiled playfully. Then, she took out a TV remote control from somewhere and pressed it at Misaka Mikoto.

Then there was a loud "thunder" and a flash of lightning appeared directly on Misaka Mikoto's face, and even Misaka Mikoto's head was thrown to the side.

Obviously, this lightning bolt was the work of Shokuhou Misaki. Just now, she seemed to have pressed the remote control in her hand, but in fact, she used it to exert her superpower, psychological control, on Misaka Mikoto. She wanted to control Misaka Mikoto's brain and spy on her heart. As the most powerful psychic ability user in the entire Academy City, there were few people in the entire Academy City who could resist Shokuhou Misaki's mental control.

However, Misaka Mikoto was obviously one of the few people who could resist Shokuhou Misaki's mental manipulation. The lightning just now was the result of the collision between Shokuhou Misaki's ability and Misaka Mikoto's own electromagnetic barrier.

"So, Misaka-san, can I ask you a quick question?"

Looking at the somewhat speechless Misaka Mikoto, Shokuhou Misaki asked with a playful look on her face:

"How come your electromagnetic barrier, a mere Level 3 electric shock user, can withstand a Level 5 mental attack?"

Chapter 222: Collaboration with Shokuhou Misaki

Shokuhou Misaki's eyes seemed to be shining with stars, but Misaka Mikoto opposite her turned a blind eye to it.

Facing Shokuhou Misaki's question, Misaka Mikoto did not answer. She just smoothed her messed up hair and walked towards the table in her dormitory. It was as if Shokuhou Misaki's attack just now had never happened.

"Ah, it's like this again."

Looking at the girl in front of her who had just been attacked by her but had not been angry at all, and who had not responded to her questioning, Shokuhou Misaki could only shake her head helplessly and sigh.

What a strange man!

Even though Shokuhou Misaki is the strongest psychic in Academy City and has glimpsed into the minds of countless evil people, she still thinks that her roommate Misaka Mikoto is really weird.

She actually knew Misaka Mikoto when she was in elementary school.

According to Shokuhou Misaki's research, Misaka Mikoto was once a brilliant star in elementary school. She was already a Level 3 electric shock user at a young age, and many ability developers thought she could become a Level 5. But after an ability development accident, the once brilliant Misaka Mikoto became just like everyone else.

Of course, the "indistinguishable" here refers to her ability. In fact, in terms of academic performance, Misaka Mikoto is still a famous genius in Academy City. She started to self-study university courses when she was in elementary school. Now she is in the first year of junior high school and has participated in many scientific research projects. She is a famous genius in Tokiwadai.

But apart from research and study, Misaka Mikoto doesn't seem to care about anything else.

He only eats ordinary dishes, not expensive nor cheap, and has always been stable. He only wears the most ordinary clothes, not conspicuous nor poor. His hairstyle is also ordinary short hair, not very energetic nor very delicate. His ability has always remained at the level of Level 3, neither increasing nor decreasing, and even the test data of his ability is almost the same every time.

In short, Misaka Mikoto is the kind of genius that people think of as very traditional. She has a gloomy personality, is aloof and reclusive, has no interest in getting involved in the secular world, and devotes herself wholeheartedly to research. Moreover, the subject of her research is theoretical physics, which is rarely involved in Academy City. It is very different from the mainstream research projects in Academy City. She is a freak among geniuses.

Everyone thinks so. If Shokuhou Misaki didn't have any special experiences, she would probably think so too.

But Shokuhou Misaki is not an ordinary person after all, because she once met a girl named Dolly. Dolly is Shokuhou Misaki's friend, and she is also a clone of Misaka Mikoto. So Shokuhou Misaki understands that the existence named Misaka Mikoto is by no means a simple genius, at least her talent in superpowers is far stronger than she shows.

Because if Misaka Mikoto was just a genius, no one would want to clone her. After all, in Academy City, such geniuses are never valued, and high-level esper people are the ones that everyone pursues. Only if she has research value, Misaka Mikoto needs to be cloned.

Therefore, Shokuhou Misaki can be sure that Misaka Mikoto is definitely hiding a secret. At least her ability is definitely not as weak as it appears. Judging from the fact that she can defend herself against mental attacks, her ability is definitely Level 4!

Shokuhou Misaki knew that Misaka Mikoto was special, so she became her roommate through trickery, hoping to dig out all the secrets of Misaka Mikoto. But Misaka Mikoto's performance was beyond her expectations. No matter how she tried, Misaka Mikoto ignored her, as if her roommate was just a stranger.

As for Shokuhou Misaki's thoughts, Misaka Mikoto actually knows them clearly. But as Uchiha Izumi's incarnation in this world, Misaka Mikoto already has too many memories in her mind. At this time, she is no longer a simple human being, but rather a walking incarnation of a god.

For such a Misaka Mikoto, there is no need to pay attention to Shokuhou Misaki's little thoughts, because it is too insignificant. In contrast, it is more important to learn more knowledge while taking advantage of the limited time. After all, Academy City is the pinnacle of science in this world. Even Misaka Mikoto, who has experienced countless worlds, can get a lot of inspiration from the knowledge system of Academy City.

So Shokuhou Misaki saw that Misaka Mikoto ignored her as usual and just picked up a book "Continuum Mechanics" to read. She sighed and continued to play with her phone.

And so it was, another morning.

From the warm quilt, Misaka Mikoto yawned, then slowly got up and began to prepare for the new day.

After washing up, Misaka Mikoto took off her cotton pajamas that were covered with Kouta, and then put on the uniform of Tokiwadai Junior High School. It was late autumn, and the weather was getting colder. So Misaka Mikoto was wearing the winter uniform of Tokiwadai. The beige suit jacket and the dark blue plaid pleated skirt gave her a calm and elegant ladylike feeling.

After changing her clothes, Misaka Mikoto suddenly realized that she seemed to have forgotten something?

After thinking for a moment, Misaka Mikoto took out a pair of safety pants from the cupboard and put them on obediently.

Just as Misaka Mikoto was getting ready to go out, her roommate Shokuhou Misaki also sat up from her bed. Unlike Misaka Mikoto, who lives a very regular life, Shokuhou Misaki's recent schedule is very chaotic. It seems that because she is in love with someone, Shokuhou Misaki often leaves the dormitory in the middle of the night, so that Misaka Mikoto needs to take care of her when checking the room.

At this time, Shokuhou Misaki was just like usual, feeling grumpy early in the morning. Her long golden hair was scattered all over her body, and her starry eyes were full of confusion. When she noticed that Misaka Mikoto was already dressed and ready for school, she hurriedly moved. She was so flustered that she sat down on the floor right after getting out of bed.

Seeing this, Misaka Mikoto, as her roommate, naturally couldn't just ignore it. She walked over to Shokuhou Misaki and helped her wash and dress. When they finally finished, it was almost time for class. So the two of them had to run to catch the bus, and as a result, the weak Shokuhou Misaki was exhausted and panting, and finally entered the campus at the last minute.

"Thank you, Misaka-san. If it weren't for you, I would be late today."

During the lunch break, Shokuhou Misaki said this. Misaka Mikoto said:

"You've been running out a lot these past two days, and everyone at school is saying that you might be in a relationship. I'm like, are you really in a relationship?"

Hearing that Misaka Mikoto actually had some gossip, Shokuhou Misaki immediately became interested and asked curiously:

"I didn't realize you would care about this kind of thing, Misaka-san."

"I'm not concerned about this kind of thing. I just want to remind you that your boyfriend is not a simple person. Although he is a good person, it's a pity that he has a bad fate. If you can, stay away from him. Otherwise, you will be like a moth flying towards the flame and encounter a lot of harm."

As Misaka Mikoto said this, Shokuhou Misaki couldn't help but think of the man named "Kamijo Touma". Recalling what happened to that man, Shokuhou Misaki said thoughtfully:

"Misaka-san, you, know everything?"

"I don't know much, but at least I know that man won't remember you anymore." Misaka Mikoto said:

"Even if you keep in contact with him these days and create various encounters and chance encounters, he will forget you in a very short time. This is reality. Such encounters will only cause you continuous harm."

"but……"

After hearing what Misaka Mikoto said, Shokuhou Misaki was already a little desperate. She even wanted to stand up and vent her anger at Misaka Mikoto, yelling at her, a person with only science in her head, did she know what human feelings were?

But just when Shokuhou Misaki was about to vent, Misaka Mikoto suddenly changed her tone and said:

"I have done some research in the field of cloning. If you don't mind, I can try to cure your boyfriend's amnesia. Although I can't restore his original memories, I can still make him remember your future self."

Hearing that Misaka Mikoto could cure Kamijou Touma, Shokuhou Misaki's anger disappeared for the most part, and she turned to be puzzled:

"Wait, Misaka-san, I remember your main focus was theoretical physics. Why are you saying you're good at cloning technology now? Aren't these two completely different fields?"

Misaka Mikoto didn't explain much about this. After inheriting part of Uchiha Izumi's soul, she was definitely at the top level in biology in Academy City. Even the strongest doctor in Academy City, the Soul Chaser, might not be as good as her in this aspect. So Misaka Mikoto just said calmly:

"I will give you the treatment plan in two days. If you don't believe it, just ask a professional to confirm it."

Seeing Misaka Mikoto so confident, Shokuhou Misaki naturally felt hopeful. But then, Misaka Mikoto said:

"Of course, Shokuhou-san. I can provide you with a treatment plan, but I also have conditions."

"Misaka-san, tell me what your conditions are. I can pay any price as long as you can cure him."

Looking at Shokuhou Misaki who was deeply in love, Misaka Mikoto couldn't help but secretly shook her head and thought:

Kamijou Touma, you are such a sinful man!

Misaka Mikoto then said:

"First of all, the cost of treatment is a lot of money. Although I am not interested in charging any surgery fees, the cost of related equipment and drugs is not a small amount."

"Don't worry about the money, Misaka-san. I'll take care of it."

Not to mention that Shokuhou Misaki's family was wealthy, the faction she formed in Tokiwadai was a considerable force. Things like surgery fees were not a problem for her at all.

"And the second thing, I want you to use your power to investigate the plans of the Absolute Esper."

"Absolute ability user, isn't that Level 6?" Hearing this, even Shokuhou Misaki was shocked.

"That's right." Misaka Mikoto nodded.

"Recently, when I was browsing the Internet using my hacking ability as an electric user, I discovered that someone seemed to want to use my genetic information to clone me. This is because I have the qualities to become a Level 5, and the electric user's ability can create a human Internet network, which has great research value. So someone wants to use my clones to realize the ultimate wish of Academy City and create a Level 6 absolute ability user."

"Of course, these are just bits and pieces of information I saw on the Internet. I don't know if they are true or not. After all, the relevant plans are stored in a physically isolated local area network by someone with ulterior motives, and my ability cannot detect them clearly. So I want to use your ability and power to search for the relevant plans."

"May I?"

When she heard Misaka Mikoto talking about her clones, Shokuhou Misaki immediately thought of her former friend Dolly. So even though she knew that Misaka Mikoto's request was somewhat dangerous, Shokuhou Misaki agreed immediately.

But even so, Shokuhou Misaki still feels a little disgusted with Misaka Mikoto. Because compared to the innocent and cute clone Dolly, the real Misaka Mikoto is really not cute! Not to mention her personality, her attitude towards herself is also very bad. When communicating with her just now, Shokuhou Misaki felt as if she was her subordinate.

She is obviously the queen of Tokiwadai!

In short, Misaka Mikoto took advantage of the lunch break to establish cooperation with Shokuhou Misaki. And everything she said during the lunch break was not a lie. Because according to Misaka Mikoto's investigation during this period, the Absolute Escapist Evolution Plan may really be implemented.

There aren't many things Misaka Mikoto cares about in this world, but the Absolute Ability Project is definitely one of them. Misaka Mikoto will never allow anyone to abuse her genetic information, and she will never allow her clones to be slaughtered.

After school, Shokuhou Misaki began to prepare for Kamijou Touma's surgery, and also mobilized her own connections to investigate the Absolute Escapist Project. Misaka Mikoto herself just continued on her way back to the dormitory as usual, while preparing for Kamijou Touma's treatment plan.

On this late autumn road, Misaka Mikoto walked towards the dormitory. From time to time, a cold wind blew on the street, mixed with the moisture from the ocean, making people feel even colder.

Of course, this kind of weather has no effect on Misaka Mikoto. What really makes her admire is those magical girls who still bare their thighs in the winter. After all, the temperature is close to zero degrees now. In such cold weather, I don't know how these little girls can survive.

Just as Misaka Mikoto was daydreaming, she gradually walked to the door of a bank.

Xun Geer once said:

There are two places in this world where the most gossips occur at the entrances of two places: one is the entrance of the widow's house, and the other is the entrance of the bank.

why?

Because these two places can arouse the two strongest desires in human instincts.

One can arouse people's desire for beauty; the other can arouse people's desire for wealth.

Therefore, these two places are often very lively and full of things going on.

Even in the outside world, these two places are the treasures of gentlemen who linger. In the safe Academy City, it is even more so. However, since there are no widows in Academy City, the banks in Academy City are particularly lively.

So just as Misaka Mikoto walked to the door of the bank, she heard a loud noise in her ears.

Chapter 223 Bank Robbery

This bank entrance is a must-go place for Misaka Mikoto on her way to school. She passes by this bank entrance almost every day. So Misaka Mikoto was not surprised at all by the robbery that just happened.

Because in the past six months of junior high school, this was the third time she saw this bank being robbed!

Compared to the current commotion, the last commotion was actually even louder. At that time, a runaway ability user used his ability to blow up the bank directly. The huge roar scared Misaka Mikoto. She thought:

Those who know me think I am in Academy City, while those who don’t think I am in a war zone!

This place is really outrageous, even banks in the ninja world, which is so cruel, have never been robbed with such a high frequency!

And this was just the bank Misaka Mikoto visited on her way to school. There were even more banks in Academy City that were robbed. In Academy City, bank robberies were no longer news. They happened every now and then, and everyone was used to it!

As the alarm sounded, the bank's iron curtain was immediately pulled down, alerting all passers-by that the bank had been robbed. Then, a white-haired man passing by said in a calm tone:

“Oh, here we go again!”

"It happened once this month too. It seems like it happens every month lately!"
