However, breaking into Academy City would be far too difficult for a mercenary group. The first problem they would have to solve was how to avoid being monitored by Academy City.

The Altair II is not only a laser weapon; it is also equipped with the ability to monitor the entire Academy City.

In other words, their goal was to use Accelerator to disable the satellite's surveillance capabilities, and then have the 5,000 mercenaries storm into Academy City, directly triggering a riot.

The so-called use of satellite-based laser weapons for killing is nothing but a complete smokescreen.

Accelerator was manipulated by them; this is what it means to use someone else to do your dirty work.

"However, these guys probably never realize one thing: they never had any chance of winning."

The technological level of Academy City cannot be broken by just five thousand mercenaries, and even Kaihara Mitsuki, who is on the magic side, is well aware of this.

Let alone these 5,000 mercenaries armed with small guns and vehicles, even if Russia and the United States were to join forces to attack Academy City, they would likely not be able to break through even the outermost defenses. Academy City's technological level is truly invincible, standing at the pinnacle of the world.

This is utterly reckless and foolish.

Hiding behind a large rock, Kaihara Mitsuki subtly peered out.

Three helicopters with devil wings were still circling in the sky.

Designated HsAFH-11, collectively known as "Six Wings," it is an unmanned armed helicopter powered by rockets manufactured by Academy City.

Its technological achievements are still far beyond those of any other country in the world, because although it is a helicopter, its flight speed can reach as high as Mach 2.5!

Helicopters that fly at supersonic speeds are something that even powerful countries like the United States and Russia probably haven't considered, let alone the rest of the world.

This is as unrealistic as a child's dream, but Academy City has actually made this dream a reality.

With a flight speed of Mach 2.5, it could easily slaughter a mercenary group of 5,000 people. Presumably, it would still be more than enough to handle another 5,000 people.

"But back then, I probably would have been killed in the chaos too."

After all, they are unmanned helicopters, which will only carry out indiscriminate slaughter. And since Mitsutaka Kaihara is wearing the "Block" uniform, he will definitely be included in the attack targets of these three six-winged helicopters.

We need to find a way to survive.

"...I should be able to do it on my own."

He reached into his pocket and pulled out a blade that gleamed with a sharp light.

It is a dagger made of obsidian, which looks very sharp and can easily cut through human skin.

In Aztec mythology, there is a god of war who rules over Venus.

Toraviska Bonticotori, according to legend, wielded a spear that was truly a calamity spear, capable of annihilating anyone illuminated by the radiance of Venus with a mere flick of his finger.

Since this is a mythological story, the weapon used by Kaihara Mitsuki is naturally related to it.

The Toraviska Bontik Utori Spear is crafted from obsidian. By combining the position of Venus in the celestial sphere with the refraction of a mirror to distort light, and finally infusing it with magic, the power itself is transmitted through the light of Venus, thus recreating the myth of the famous Aztec god of war.

Simply put, everything illuminated by the gun's beam will disintegrate, whether it's a person or an object.

"Venus's position should be fine, as long as we seize the right opportunity to act..."

Although the six wings dispatched by Academy City were originally intended to kill those five thousand people, they have now changed to a command state of 'killing all living beings present'.

Whether for his own sake or to prevent the trouble from escalating, Kaihara Mitsuki had to find a way to stop the three planes.

Swallowing hard, knowing full well that failure would mean being riddled with machine gun fire, Mitsuki Kaihara still charged out.

He ran all the way to the front of the ruins.

Om-!

The aircraft's infrared scanner took off and captured his movements in an instant.

"Don't try to succeed!"

Fortunately, Mitsuki Kaihara acted even faster.

The young man, gritting his teeth and widening his eyes, raised the obsidian dagger in his hand in one breath, and its light flashed instantly.

The six wings, capable of supersonic movement at Mach 2.5, had no chance of escaping this attack.

Just like disassembling a pre-assembled toy into its original parts, the six-winged aircraft disintegrated in mid-air, scattering into a pile of parts on the ground.

Bang——! ! !

But then the sound of bombing came from behind him.

"What? Oh no!"

Although in mythology, the spear of Toravescabontik Utori can kill all those illuminated by Venus, humans cannot use the magic of the gods. Therefore, Kaihara Mitsuki's obsidian dagger is merely a replica made based on the myth.

Unable to cover the entire world or carry out large-scale massacres, he could only use this dagger to cast magic on a single individual, unable to target two or more individuals.

In other words, you only have one chance to act in a split second.

There were three six-winged aircraft in total. Although Kaihara Mitsuki destroyed one aircraft in a second, he was unable to deal with the other two.

Click. The sound of a machine gun preparing to fire rang in my ears.

Is this the end?!

The machine gun was faster than him no matter what, and despite knowing this, Kaihara Mitsuki still chose to turn around, intending to fight to the death.

—However, there was someone who acted faster than all of them.

High in the sky, an ominous purplish-black aura erupted in one breath.

boom----! ! !

It was just a flash of light, but one of the six-winged aircraft was instantly blasted in two. That was a speed exceeding Mach 2.5, even faster.

Mitsutaka Kaihara was stunned and stood there for a moment before he finally understood what was going on.

The white shadow exploded onto the last six wings.

He grabbed one end of the wing, ignoring its immense kinetic energy, and forcefully pulled it toward the ground, causing the plane to plummet to the ground in one go.

The sea of ​​fire spread out in all directions.

As the footsteps approached, Mitsuki Kaihara couldn't help but look towards the deepest part of the sea of ​​fire.

The white monster had six purplish-black generators floating behind it, resembling floating cannons.

"Accelerator...!"

"You little brat, you've actually gotten yourself into such big trouble."

After switching all six generators to normal mode, Accelerator smirked and walked over.

Mitsuki Kaihara finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Tell me, what exactly went wrong?"

"Ha... I guess you can probably tell you've been used."

Mitsuki Kaihara sighed and looked at the wreckage of three six-winged aircraft on one side.

"The guys from 'Block' brought in five thousand mercenaries, and as a result, I caused a commotion and summoned the Six Wings. I never expected things to turn out like this. This is really dangerous..."

"But it's really good that it was finally resolved."

"Huh? Five thousand mercenaries or 'Block' guys, aren't they just a bunch of trash? What meaningful things do you expect them to do?"

Accelerator said with a cold laugh.

"Don't even mention five thousand people, even if there were a hundred thousand more, they would all be slaughtered. Academy City is not a place that just any trash can harass. Speaking of which, you actually let a mere five thousand useless dogs sneak in? You're really useless."

"Oops..."

He smiled wryly and shook the obsidian dagger in his hand.

"I managed to stop quite a few people with this Toraviska Bontic Utori Spear, didn't I?"

Here's a piece of advice for you: the pot calling the kettle black.

Chapter 192 Another Aztec Magician

The four members of "Group" have reunited.

The other matters had already been resolved by Tsuchimikado Motoharu and Kihara Ayaki. After Accelerator made a phone call, the four of them met near the warehouse street in the 11th school district.

"Speaking of which, you two really went too far."

Recalling the devastation he saw when he first arrived, Tsuchimikado Motoharu couldn't help but say this.

"It's one thing for Haiyuan to destroy one, but you actually destroyed the other two hexawings as well? Each of those things costs 25 billion yen, which is a huge expense. Academy City must be feeling the pinch, right?"

"Ha, who cares about that kind of nonsense."

Accelerator turned his gaze toward the alley ahead.

To be precise, it should be someone kneeling at the entrance of the alley.

He was wearing a dark green camouflage uniform, his original equipment had been stripped off, and his face was covered in blood, making him look like someone who had just escaped from the battlefield.

That was indeed the case. He was one of the five thousand people recruited by the dark organization "Block." Because the leaders seemed to be too busy to manage them, he was abandoned there.

How ironic.

"Wake up, stop pretending to be unconscious."

Tsuchimikado Motoharu casually kicked the other person in the stomach, causing him to gag.

"Everyone understands the rules, just like in the TV series. If you want to live, tell us the information; if you want to die, do as you please. Of course, we can also spare your life and let you experience a fate worse than death."

Just one sentence was enough to send chills down the spine of the mercenary in front of him.

"...What do you want to ask me?"

"It's nothing, just a very simple question."

He pushed up his glasses and continued asking.

"What is a mercenary group of five thousand people used for?"

This is actually the question that all of them have in mind.

"Don't tell me you don't know. A force of five thousand people couldn't possibly break through this Academy City. Even if you called on the world's strongest nations, it wouldn't be a chance. So, what exactly are these five thousand people for?"

If there are only 5,000 people, there's no way to talk about conquering Academy City.

So what exactly is the plan for 'Block'?

The mercenary knelt on the ground, looking at the men in front of him, each one more ferocious than the last. If he didn't speak up, he was doomed, or even worse off than the man in sunglasses had said.

"...Tenth School District".

"what?"

"Our actual objective is to raid the reformatory in District 10."

Everyone couldn't help but be surprised.

There is a juvenile detention center in the 10th school district, which sounds like a sanatorium, but it is not.

Those were responsible for detaining people who used their abilities to cause trouble.

Because most of the ability users are young people, this place is also known as a juvenile reformatory. Although the actual situation is unclear, it seems that there are devices installed there to interfere with abilities.

If that's the case, then with all the criminals, who are all ability users, having their abilities restricted, directly using firearms to attack would indeed be a better approach.

But what's the reason?

Why did you attack that place?

Kihara Aki's gaze lingered on the other person.

"Are you planning to catch a VIP criminal? Or are you trying to rescue someone?"

"neither."

The mercenary said something that shocked her to the extreme.

"Our goal is coordinate movement (MovePoint)."

"What did you say?"

"To be precise, they were heading straight for that guy's partner who moved the coordinates—"

Before the mercenary could finish speaking, Kihara Tsurugi had already grabbed him.

Because her identity is that of a Level 4 ability user with the ability to move points.

The mercenaries dared not look at her, but even without looking, they could feel an unimaginable killing intent erupting from her.
