Post-Apocalyptic America: Synthetic 3D Female Protagonist.

Let alone mere stones, even air, heat, and ultraviolet rays—anything he "touches" cannot escape his calculations and manipulations!

But this man in front of me, he did nothing, and those attacks just stopped working on their own?

"Your ability is to calculate and reflect all the vectors it comes into contact with, right?"

Su Hui looked at him with a playful smile. "A very interesting application of the law. But have you thought about one thing?"

He paused, then continued in a calm, factual tone:

"What if there were no concept of 'vector' for you to calculate and manipulate? When the underlying rules that constitute 'direction' and 'energy' are removed, where should your abilities be directed?"

Accelerator's mind went completely blank.

Underlying rules?

Detachment?

What nonsense is this man spouting?

Do they really think they're gods?

As Accelerator thought this to himself, a look of disdain appeared on his face.

Just try it in the next moment!

Anxiety flashed in Accelerator's crimson eyes as Su Hui's figure vanished from the spot.

It wasn't moving at high speed, because it didn't create even a gust of wind.

It wasn't a spatial jump, because it didn't produce any fluctuations.

He appeared in front of Accelerator so naturally, as if he was meant to be standing there.

Too close!

Accelerator's pupils contracted to the size of pinpoints, and his body instinctively wanted to open his reflective field.

however,

Nothing at all.

He couldn't sense anything that could be "reflected".

The other person's actions and existence were nothing to him.

An ordinary-looking fist, without any energy or fancy techniques, simply came flying towards his face.

Accelerator tried to reverse the vector of the fist, but was horrified to find that his ability seemed to have hit a void, with no point of leverage.

There is no calculable "direction" on that fist!

This is pure, absolute, and irrational physical force!

"boom!"

A dull, teeth-grinding bang.

Su Hui's fist landed squarely on Yifang Tongxing's face.

Time resumed its normal flow at this moment.

A terrifying power erupted without reservation.

Accelerator's head snapped back, the sound of his nose breaking clearly audible. He was struck head-on by a battering ram, his feet leaving the ground, and he flew backward like a white cannonball.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

His frail body crashed through three rusty shipping containers in succession. The metal plates were torn and twisted as if they were made of paper. Finally, with a loud thud, he was deeply embedded in the fourth container and fell silent.

The entire process, from Su Hui throwing the punch to Accelerator disappearing from sight, took only a second.

The number one esper in Academy City, the monster who called himself "the strongest" and treated everything as a plaything, was sent flying with a single punch.

"..."

Misaka Mikoto, standing some distance away, gaped, unaware that the game coins in her hand had slipped to the ground.

Her beautiful brown eyes were filled with a blank and bewildered expression.

What did she see?

Accelerator... that demon she couldn't harm even a fraction of with all her might, the one she could only watch helplessly as he slaughtered her "sister," was sent flying by that man with a single punch?

It doesn't have the light and heat of a railgun, nor the earth-shattering energy burst; it's just the simplest, most primitive punch.

How...how is this possible?

Su Hui shook his hand as if he had just swatted away an annoying fly.

He walked slowly toward the pile of wrecked containers, shaking his head and commenting as he went:

"He possesses immense power, yet his physical abilities are no different from those of an ordinary person. He relies too heavily on his abilities, and his fighting style is overly simplistic. Once his prized 'vector manipulation' fails, he's no different from a fragile glass doll. Is this all there is to the strongest in Academy City? It's truly disappointing."

His voice wasn't loud, but it carried clearly to the ears of everyone in the freight yard.

Misaka Mikoto felt her worldview being turned upside down as she listened to this nonchalant evaluation.

That's... Accelerator!

A monster that can deflect nuclear bombs!

In this man's words, she was actually called a "glass doll"?

After a few steps, Su Hui stopped in front of Accelerator, who was unconscious and embedded in the metal like a lump of mud.

He glanced at it and completely lost interest.

An opponent of this caliber doesn't even deserve to be his warm-up.

He turned around and looked at the two completely dumbfounded brown-haired girls not far away.

One was the original body, its face filled with a blank and shocked expression.

The other was a clone with blood flowing from its shoulder, but its face remained expressionless.

Su Hui's gaze swept across the two faces, finally settling on Misaka Mikoto's pretty face, which looked somewhat cute due to shock.

He gave a meaningful smile.

"We meet again, Miss Railgun from Tokiwadai?"

Su Hui's voice wasn't loud, but it exploded in Misaka Mikoto's mind like a thunderclap.

"Bilibili—"

Thin arcs of blue electricity danced in Misaka Mikoto's bangs, a sign that her abilities were nearly out of control due to her intense emotional turmoil.

Her mind was racing, trying to comprehend the surreal scene before her.

Accelerator, that invincible monster, lay like a dead dog in the ruins not far away. And this mysterious man had only used one punch.

Who is he?

Is it another hidden Level 5 in Academy City?

No, even at Level 5, it's impossible to defeat Accelerator so easily.

Could they be from the magic side?

Countless thoughts flashed through her mind, but her survival instinct led her to make the most direct response.

She flashed forward, blocking Misaka 10032's path, assuming a defensive stance, her body crackling with electricity as she warily stared at Su Hui.

"Who...who are you?"

Misaka Mikoto's voice trembled slightly, almost imperceptibly.

This wasn't fear, but rather stemmed from the fact that everything happening before her eyes exceeded the limits of her understanding.

One punch.

With just one punch, he knocked that invincible monster unconscious.

This man's strength cannot be measured by common sense.

Is he friend or foe?

What is his purpose in appearing here?

Was it to save himself, or... did he have ulterior motives?

Countless questions churned in her mind, but her top priority at that moment was the safety of her younger sister behind her.

Su Hui smiled nonchalantly at her tense appearance, like a mother animal protecting her cubs.

Who I am is not important.

He didn't answer directly, his gaze passing over Misaka Mikoto's shoulder and landing on the clone girl. "The important thing is, she's dying. Aren't you going to save her?"

Misaka Mikoto's heart sank.

She looked back and saw that although the wound on Misaka 10032's shoulder had stopped bleeding, her face was growing paler and paler, and her life was visibly slipping away.

This is an inherent flaw in clones; their bodies are designed to be quick-fix, and their life support systems are prone to collapse once they suffer severe trauma.

"I……"

Misaka Mikoto bit her lip, a sense of powerlessness welling up inside her.

What can she do?

Should we take him to the hospital?

Putting aside whether the hospital has the capability to handle such injuries, the mere fact that the existence of "Misaka Sisters" is exposed will cause enormous trouble.

“I know about the ‘Absolute Ability Evolution Project’, and I also know all the problems with you clones.”

Su Hui casually dropped a bombshell: "Including the fact that your lifespans are set to be extremely short, your bodies have genetic defects, and even your emotions are deliberately suppressed."

"Do you want to completely end this foolish plan? Do you want your 'sisters' to have the right to live as 'human beings'?"

Every word he said was like a heavy hammer blow, striking Misaka Mikoto's heart.

She stared in shock, her eyes wide. This man... how could he know so much?

They even know about genetic defects and lifespan issues?

This is a top secret that even she herself could only find traces of when she cracked the "library"!

To stop the plan?

Save the sisters?

Isn't this exactly what she has been trying to achieve all this time, even at the cost of her life?

But now, this opportunity has been so casually presented to her by a mysterious man.

After a brief moment of shock, Misaka Mikoto forced herself to calm down.

There's no such thing as a free lunch, especially in this dark corner of Academy City.

Given the unfathomable power the other party displayed and their knowledge of all the inside stories, their schemes were definitely extraordinary.

What...are your conditions?

She took a deep breath, stared into Su Hui's eyes, and asked, word by word, "What do you want in order to help me?"

"Don't rush."

Su Hui raised his hand and gestured for calm. "This isn't the place to talk. Come with me."

He glanced at Accelerator, who lay unconscious in the distance, and added:

"As for him, don't worry about him, someone will take care of him soon."

As soon as Su Hui finished speaking,

A faint engine roar came from the night sky.

A jet-black, futuristic-looking unmanned aerial vehicle silently hovered over the cargo yard and slowly landed in front of the group.

The hatch slid open automatically, revealing soft, comfortable seats and gentle lighting inside, a stark contrast to the abandoned, dilapidated industrial wasteland outside.

Su Hui took the lead and stepped onto the aircraft, then looked back at Misaka Mikoto, who was still standing in the same spot, her face full of vigilance and hesitation.

"What, are you afraid I'll eat you?"

He joked, "Or would you rather watch your sister die here than seize this only chance?"
