After expressing her gratitude, she noticed that Nightingale's quiet demeanor seemed to carry a hint of weakness.

For example, her voice, besides sounding soft, also sounded somewhat weak.

"Nightingale, are you... feeling unwell anywhere?"

"No, it's just that this body is naturally weak. If you've played games, you should know that healers are often quite fragile, so do you understand?"

"Is that so? Why is it that in the games I play, the healers are always at the forefront?" Kuroko muttered incredulously.

"What kind of weird game are you playing?"

Just then, the dormitory door was suddenly pushed open, and Misaka Mikoto lazily walked in from outside.

"Hmm, it's rare to see you two together. Kuroko, why are you dressed so scantily?"

"Big sister, I didn't mess around with Su Lin's clone, you have to believe me!"

Kuroko exclaimed in surprise, teleported above Misaka Mikoto, and hugged her.

Seeing this, Nightingale shook her head, waved her staff lightly, and vanished.

Immediately afterwards, Kuroko, who was looking at her phone in her room, heard Kuroko's screams coming from next door.

"That's terrible. She ejaculates at least once a day, and she doesn't even feel any pain. Is this what love is?"

While I admire Kuroko's persistence, judging from the plot of A Certain Magical Index, it seems she'll never truly be able to win Misaka's heart. If she can't change the person she likes, then she's destined to be single forever!

Ignoring the two people, Black Eyes and Nightingale leaned against each other, ready to rest.

The next day, she was woken up early by the alarm clock she had set.

"Phew, so fast?"

The Daihasei Festival is about to begin. This is the grandest sports meet in Academy City. The participants are all students, and because they can use their abilities, the competitions are often quite exciting.

Of course, since there were no competitive battles or similar activities, Su Lin always felt that something was missing.

After all, a city with superpowers should be like a magical school, with 1v1 battles, or even larger group fights, to make it interesting. Shouldn't true superpower development be gained through real combat?

After washing up, she left the dormitory and prepared to go to a shop outside the school to buy some food by herself.

With the sports meet approaching, many colleges have stopped classes, and most students are training and preparing for this grand event.

As she reached the door, Kurohime's cell phone suddenly rang.

"Hey, Moshi Moshi."

The moment the call connected, the other end interrupted her.

"Hello, are you Su Lin?"

The speaker was probably a man. Why "probably"? Because his voice was indeed very androgynous, the kind that was impossible to distinguish.

"Hmm, what's up?"

"We'd like to ask if you'd be interested in being a participant in the Daihasei Festival's player oath-taking ceremony?"

"Huh?" After a moment of surprise, Su Lin immediately refused, "Sorry, I'm not good at handling crowded situations."

Damn it, let alone being able to speak easily in front of so many people, even if she could, she wouldn't want to do this kind of thing.

"We hope you can reconsider. How about this, we'll send someone to contact you again tomorrow afternoon, and you can give us your final answer then."

"Okay, now leave me alone."

Speaking of which, this year's Daihasei Festival did indeed actively seek out LV5 as the host, but it seems that the second and fifth place winners ended up on stage.

Well, she definitely isn't good at this kind of thing, so she absolutely, positively has to refuse.

……

After hanging up the phone, on the other end...

"Hmm, it failed as expected. Now, the fourth, second, and first place have all been eliminated. On the contrary, the eighth place was the easiest to talk to this time."

"Are you sure she's the easiest to talk to? I heard this one is much more terrifying than Accelerator. So, if she refuses in two days, just don't bother her."

"It's really annoying. Why are all the level 5 monsters so much more monstrous than the last?"

Two men wearing armbands spoke helplessly, while a girl sitting at one side of the round table, operating a computer, stared blankly at the scene.

"If it doesn't work, we'll have to find someone else. It seems like making a phone call was a wise decision. Otherwise, the new agent might end up like the previous one, badly injured and coughing up blood."

"Then, let's start with Misaki Shokuhou."

"Fifth place? Looks like that's all we can do."

Misaki Shokuhou was unaware that she was being targeted, and of course, she never imagined that she was being watched by more than one person, including Su Lin's clone.

"They're actually that close to Touma?"

One can imagine how heartbroken she would be if she ran into Touma Kamijou.

Chapter 271 Assist

At this moment, Misaki Shokuhou and Touma Kamijou are only two streets apart, and at their speed, they will likely meet in less than ten minutes.

"Yeah, Misaka Mikoto isn't here."

One area where this is slightly better than the original is that Touma Kamijou never had the chance to participate in the Level 1 creation project, so he wasn't as familiar with Misaka Mikoto as one might expect. Although the two had met before, it's unlikely that this alone would make Misaka like Touma as much as she did in the original work.

However, this was exactly what Su Lin wanted.

"It must be difficult to change his memory. Should I try various methods?"

From the most basic treatments to Rikka's various tests, if they're lucky, they might be able to repair Touma's brain damage.

However, while she was considering this, the system offered a solution.

The best way to restore Touma's memories is naturally to have Shinjou and Touma merge into one. However, this condition is extremely difficult to achieve, and the system has not yet found any solution that can accomplish this.

"So what about the middle and worst strategies?"

[Middle Strategy: Copy the memories of Misaki Shokuhou and Touma Kamijou together and forcibly implant them into Touma's mind. Activate other memory blocks for storage. Afterwards, rely on system energy to provide basic protection to the relevant memory areas; otherwise, the memory will still be deleted. Similarly, during the execution of this plan, Imagine Breaker needs to be temporarily suppressed.]

"This middle strategy retains Misaki Shokuhou's memories, not Touma Kamijou's? Doesn't that mean it's from the Queen's perspective?"

Therefore, this is the middle ground.

Okay, this is a bit of a pain. A girl's memories were suddenly implanted into Touma's brain. The memories contained all the little things she and Touma did together, as well as heartbreaking love and sorrow.

"So, the worst option?"

[Worst option: Use Rikka Takanashi to keep trying to restore her. Although there is a possibility of perfect success, the risk is also greater, and there is a high possibility of being attacked.]

"Hmm... let's just go with the middle option."

No need to overthink it. Being opposed probably refers to the opposition from Shen Jing to the Demon, which is definitely not the outcome she wanted.

Now that the decision has been made, the next step is to replicate the memory.

The way to do this is simple: use Misaki Shokuhou's ability to create clones to copy the memories of her own brain.

Of course, simply copying an accurate memory is quite difficult, let alone targeting the original object, so this requires the assistance of a system.

The spaceship has pinpointed the Queen's current location, and the fake Queen has reappeared.

Of course, because of the shared origin of their abilities, once she invades the other person's brain, she will be immediately detected, and it's hard to say what methods she will use to resist at that time.

Just in case, Su Lin will have Yukino stall her.

After preparing for a few minutes, Misaki Shokuhou was walking down the street, about to make a phone call, when suddenly a hand put its arm around her shoulder.

"Ok?"

Turning around in confusion, I realized it was Yukino.

"It's been a long time, Your Majesty."

Smiling at her, the overly strong scent of the shampoo made Misaki Shokuhou frown slightly, but she quickly smiled back and asked, "Little sister Su Lin, is it really okay for you to use your female persona to put your arm around other people all day?"

"..."

The way Su Lin addressed her as "sister" caused Yukino to fall into an eerie silence.

However, she quickly shrugged and said, "I'm here to help you, Your Majesty. Although you may hate me today, soon... I will become your greatest benefactor."

After saying this, Yukino slightly increased the pressure on her arm, ensuring she had complete control over Misaki Shokuhou.

"Don't use your abilities recklessly. My strongest clone is nearby. If you overdo it, you'll understand how terrifying the power that can easily defeat Accelerator is."

"What are you going to do?" Misaki Shokuhou immediately became alert.

"You'll know."

The next second, the fake queen, located more than ten meters away, pressed the remote control, aiming at Misaki Shokuhou's real body.

Her expression changed slightly, and she immediately knew what was going on.

However, when they tried to retaliate with their abilities, they only encountered enormous obstacles.

"The clone we encountered before was actually your alter ego?"

Her Majesty the Queen was not stupid at all; she immediately guessed what was going on.

Yukino didn't deny it, but calmly put her hand on her neck and led her into a side alley.

"No problem. I told you, no matter what happened before, you just need to wait and you'll soon understand that everything I did was for your own good."

Misaki Shokuhou fell silent, her smile vanishing. As expected, the clever girl did nothing and simply stood there with Yukino.

Meanwhile, the fake queen, who had copied the good memories, had already been brought by X to the vicinity of Touma Kamijou.

"Yes, it's almost time for the implantation."

It's impossible to temporarily disable Imagine Breaker; the only way is to gain its trust temporarily through the system's understanding of the world's rules.

A few seconds later, the fake queen's power was activated. Touma Kamijou, who was originally looking for Index, suddenly froze, his expression turning blank.

He was unable to perceive the passage of time; it seemed as if a multitude of memories were flashing through his mind.

More than two minutes later, Touma Kamijou, having regained his senses, pinched his cheek and began searching quickly through the crowd.

What he saw were X and Rikka, who had already dispelled the Queen's clone, standing over there.

“You should thank me, you poor wretch who lost your memory.” X pointed to the west side of the street. “Go on, Misaki Shokuhou is there.”

Touma Kamijou, who was clearly still reeling from everything, was momentarily at a loss.

But soon, he nodded at X and ran towards Misaki Shokuhou.

……

"How long we have to wait?"

Misaki Shokuhou herself was a little nervous, but she still forced a relaxed smile onto her face.

There was no way around it; the people around her had already beaten up Accelerator. After obtaining this information, she really didn't want to have any contact with Su Lin. Especially after their previous encounters, she was even more certain that she couldn't handle this guy.

"Don't rush, I told you you would thank me, just wait 3 more minutes."

Yukino took out her phone, glanced at it, then let go of her hand, smoothed her long hair, and pointed to the street: "Go out now and wait three minutes."

So Her Majesty did as she was told.

Because she was constantly worried that she might encounter danger, she remained on high alert.

One hundred seconds later, a hurried figure appeared in front of her.

Viewed from the opposite perspective.

"I suppose I've done a good deed."

Without disturbing the two, X made a quick gesture to Misaki Shokuhou facing him from afar, then lightly jumped and flew onto the roof next to him.

Chapter 272 Some Thoughts

Still in a daze, Misaki Shokuhou just felt a sense of awe and wonder.

She dared not face Touma Kamijou, because she knew that this man, who had once been her most cherished partner, friend, and even lover, could no longer possibly remember her.

Because of damage to the relevant memory areas, even if the two people get to know each other, the other person will quickly and completely forget Misaki Shokuhou.

So every time they met, she would say, "Nice to meet you."

But now, it seems that Touma Kamijou recognizes her.

X stood at a distance and witnessed Touma rushing up and hugging her very proactively.
