One-way traffic

Despite this situation, Hatsune Miku found that Frenda was looking at her with an unbelievable expression.

It was like seeing a ghost.

"What was that just now? Not only did it suddenly create a clone, but it was also able to fight the second monster to a standstill? You, you wouldn't happen to be one of those seven level-five superpowered individuals, would you?!"

"Huh? I'm not like that!"

Although I do know one of those seven people.

"So... what should you do next?"

"Eh? What?"

Frenda blinked, and Hatsune Miku continued to look at her.

"Didn't you say you still had companions? You couldn't see them before because you were captured by that person, but that should be okay now, right?"

Hatsune Miku smiled and said it as if it were perfectly natural.

However, Frenda's expression was not good at all.

After being captured by the second-in-command, he hadn't been back to his team for a while. If he were to return now unharmed...

He'll probably be seen as a traitor by Mugino Shizuri.

"I…"

"it does not matter!"

Seemingly noticing Frenda's conflicted expression, Hatsune Miku patted her shoulder as if to encourage her.

"I'll go with you. It would be dangerous if we ran into that person again on the way, so don't worry!"

"…Um."

I don't know what the reason is.

I always felt that the girl in front of me had a certain charm that made people want to agree to her requests.

Frenda nodded almost subconsciously and looked at the girl in front of her again.

"Hatsune Miku... Can I just call you Hatsune Miku?"

"If you like, you can call me Miku."

The girl chuckled and took Frenda's hand.

"Let's go, I'll escort you to your companions."

"Um…!"

At this moment, Frenda no longer felt any fear.

She rallied, smiled, nodded, and left the alley with her.

Chapter 190 The First Defeat of the Dark Division

Accelerator arrived at the 23rd school district.

Just drive the Nathos directly to the terminal station. This is the only parking area in District 23. Although Accelerator could also just barge in, that would only make things more complicated.

He is currently at the confluence of countless shipping containers, probably a place responsible for handling some transported goods.

The environment, filled with shipping containers, brought back some unpleasant memories for him.

The day I was defeated by that spiky-haired guy was apparently also in a place like this, full of shipping containers.

"...I don't have time to think about boring things."

He shook his head, dismissing his thoughts, and looked ahead again.

From here on, vehicles are no longer allowed. If you want to go directly there, you'll have to walk a few kilometers.

For one-way traffic, distance is essentially meaningless.

He immediately decided to run forward, speeding away at a speed exceeding the speed of sound.

at this time.

"That won't do."

The voice came from behind.

He couldn't help but turn around, but he didn't see anyone at all.

Immediately afterwards——

"You're too slow."

"—!!"

Accelerator turned his head and instantly saw a figure behind him.

But instead, it vanished from sight in an instant.

"That's why I said you're too slow, and isn't that your weakness?"

The sounds kept coming from behind him.

"Your abilities have weakened to the point where you need to activate an electrode switch to use them. Right now, you are unarmed. Don't even think about using your abilities; you should even think twice about taking your own life."

They seem to be enemies.

However, Accelerator had long been prepared for this kind of encounter with the enemy.

"Is it the 'School' guy? Or the 'Block' guy?"

"No."

Followed by.

A silent, sharp sound came—the sound of a sharp weapon piercing through Yifang Tongxing's neck.

"I am a 'Member,' nice to meet you."

"Although, this will be the last name you ever hear in your life."

The sound stopped and faded away.

After that, a scene of blood flying everywhere came, with drops of blood and flesh scattering on the ground.

"Gaaaaaaaahh ...

A sharp scream rang out, and the victim collapsed to the ground, writhing in agony.

"I see."

—The white-haired, red-eyed man turned around calmly, unharmed.

"You're one of the 'Members'."

The boy, who was holding a long knife and was about to stab Accelerator in the neck, was a high school student. He was now lying on the ground, bleeding from both hands.

"Why, why?"

Chale raised his head in confusion, looking at him with the most bewildered expression of his life.

"Didn't the report say that your abilities require electrodes to function? Why, why is this happening?!"

"Judging from the way you moved just now, I could guess that it was a spatial ability, but you can only move behind people? If I gave you this ability, it could only be called a dead point movement."

"What…?"

"What a loser. You can't calculate data beyond the eleventh dimension with your own computing power, so you have to rely on other people's backs as reference points to move. It's a waste to give you such spatial abilities."

Chale was furious, but even more so, he was terrified.

Because the information in the intelligence report was incorrect.

Accelerator, the number one Level 5 esper in Academy City, should have suffered brain damage on August 31st, which should have left him with limited ability usage, rendering him a useless person who could neither speak nor walk without electrodes.

But what is the situation now?

The guy standing in front of him had genuinely activated a reflective device that could defend against all directions of energy, and there was nothing on his neck, no electrodes whatsoever.

"asshole!"

He slammed his fist on the ground and quickly looked around.

Is there...is there anyone who can be moved around?

"Ah ah!"

Ah, yes!

Chale looked excitedly behind him and saw a fifteen-year-old girl passing by, wearing a school uniform from some academy.

The other party was terrified when they saw that Chale's hands were covered in blood; their purple eyes looked filled with panic.

He activated his ability without hesitation.

In front of Accelerator, Chale vanished from his spot in an instant, appearing behind the purple-haired girl in one breath.

"What—? No, don't!"

"Don't you dare move!"

Chale gripped the girl's wrist tightly, holding a knife to her neck with one hand.

"You wouldn't want some insignificant little girl to die in a place like this, would you...?"

"Ah, I see, so that's how it is?"

It was thought that Accelerator would panic, but Charle was wrong again.

The white-haired monster merely glanced at him casually, then smiled.

"You're always looking behind other people, but have you ever looked behind yourself?"

what?

As soon as Chale realized the problem, the answer was revealed in an instant.

puff.

As the blood flowed, he felt his hand holding the knife go numb and become burning hot.

"Ah, ahh ...

Six purplish-black generators were behind him, one of which appeared beside him without his noticing and swept across his arm with a single blow.

Having lost his arm, Charle was plunged into a painful struggle.

"Get out of here right now."

Accelerator glared at the girl in front of him, signaling her to leave immediately. After bowing and thanking him profusely, she ran away in a panic.

"You, you bastard!"

"Let me tell you, I've been thinking about something for a long time."

He casually took out the silver pistol from his pocket.

“People like you, who are despicable, always aspire to be the most unscrupulous villains. You don’t even understand the most basic aesthetics. At first, I really wanted to teach you a lesson, but after thinking about it for a while, I realized that it’s better to give up.”

"So I've made a decision now."

Bang.

Without hesitation, he pulled the trigger, and the bullet pierced through Charle's other arm.

"If I ever see scum like you appear again, I will tear you to pieces without mercy."

"Goo-ah—!!"

"Alright, I don't know who you plan to take hostage next, but no matter where you run, there will only be one ending for you."

Chale finally understood one thing.

The monster standing before me should never have been provoked in the first place.

"Keep it in mind."

"This is a truly top-tier villain, a bastard!"

Gunfire echoed across the world, leaving behind only a limbless torso.
