"That bastard, he's lowering my IQ!"

Chapter 304 The Beginning of the Strongest Idol is...

This is the central area of ​​the 7th school district.

Today, there are many people gathered here, all surrounding a tall building where a stage has been set up for speeches.

There are many ordinary people surrounding this place.

However, most of the people surrounding this area were journalists.

Their purpose in coming here today is nothing more than this.

"Then today is the day to witness a miracle!"

Someone, acting as a host, stood in front, speaking the same words that one would only hear on television.

"Academy City has already launched its idol project, as I'm sure everyone is aware of. The second and third ranked Level 5 espers, who are only seven in number, have already become well-known idols. But today is even more different!"

"The number one strongest esper in Academy City will, today, stand alongside those idols on this stage made up of various songs!!"

The unparalleled cheers and applause were enough to spread throughout the world, even without any fan base. The title of "Number One in Academy City" alone was enough to make the cheers resound throughout the world.

"And this time, among the guests at the idol opening ceremony, we actually invited that legendary idol... Yes! She's practically a world-class princess—!!"

"Miss Hatsune Miku from the VOCALOID agency!"

A girl dressed in a signature official uniform entered the stage.

The official outfit, featuring elements of black, gray, and azure blue at the edges, was worn by a sixteen-year-old girl with a pair of azure blue twin tails.

Hatsune Miku, a world-class idol, has graced us with her presence today.

"Your Highness!!!"

"I, I didn't see wrong... it really is that incredibly popular songstress!"

"It really is the real person! I thought it would be a holographic projection, but the real person has actually appeared!!"

"Miku-sama, I love you so much!!!"

A fledgling idol would certainly not be able to handle this level of live performance, but Hatsune Miku is already an expert in this field.

She greeted everyone with a relaxed and appropriate smile, bringing a vibrant energy to the event.

Good morning, everyone!

"I'm so happy that everyone could come today! But, actually, I'm not the main character here today~"

Naturally, Hatsune Miku shrugged to one side a few times.

pat.

At the same time, the entire scene came to a brief standstill.

No one continued to call out or speak; everyone turned their gaze to the far left of the stage.

A figure emerged from it.

White hair, red eyes, a white more despairing than darkness.

And the outfit he was wearing, with gold trim, black and white stripes on the inside, and pure white on the outside, was an idol's official uniform.

Just like Hatsune Miku's standard outfit, this outfit perfectly matches the other person's aura at this moment.

It maintains both elegance and stays true to the theme of being an idol.

"..."

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the newcomer walked onto the stage.

He took the microphone from the somewhat stunned host and skillfully walked to the center of the stage.

"Quite a few people have come."

"Hmph." He gave a soft, cold snort, just as he had done during countless rehearsals.

"You all know my specific identity even if I don't tell you, right? But it doesn't matter, since I'm the one being introduced, I don't need to ask for your opinions."

"Accelerator, the strongest Level 5 esper in Academy City, ranked number one... He will also be the strongest idol in the idol world, the number one idol."

"Well... I'm too lazy for pleasantries, let's get started?"

One hand was slightly raised.

He transformed into the number one monster among the idols, stretching his cold, stern lips to their maximum.

"Let's begin here, let's officially kick off this opening ceremony that will elevate me to the world's strongest idol."

"How about that? You lowlifes."

Waaaaaahh ...

What should have been a curse word, in Accelerator's mouth, created an extremely shocking scene.

The initial surge in popularity was merely due to the arrival of Hatsune Miku, but now the hype completely belongs to Accelerator.

The host standing to the side couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

Despite being a new idol for the first time, she has so easily gained popularity among fans...?

"Hmph, then let's get started quickly, just like I did when I was at my strongest."

Accelerator slowly walked to the front of the stage and said this.

The voice sounded very magnetic.

"After all, I don't want to waste my time... You agree, right, you lowlifes?"

"Accelerator-sama! Ahhhhhh I'm done! Ahh ...

Everything is under control.

Whether it was voice control, tone, temperament, stage effects, or anything else, Accelerator perfectly controlled the scene, just like he had done during rehearsals.

After that, it was a situation where I worked with the host and Hatsune Miku.

Just like in a variety show, Accelerator turned around and walked towards the host and Hatsune Miku, who looked on with anticipation.

——————————————————————————————————————————

Thus, the opening ceremony quickly came to an end.

Even after the meeting ended, countless people continued to gather around the scene, and the top trending keyword on the internet became "Accelerator," meaning that almost the entire world was live-streaming Accelerator's actions at the scene.

“…You damned bastard.”

However, after everything was completely over, Accelerator himself sat astride the spot.

The number one idol pursed his lips in displeasure.

"Although I already felt it was stupid before, I didn't expect the effect after going on stage to be so stupid... It's hopeless."

"Eh... Yifang, are you alright?"

"Who do you think is responsible for my current predicament?"

Accelerator sighed as he spoke irritably to Hatsune Miku.

"If it weren't for that brat and you pestering me relentlessly, how could I have ended up in this stupid place, doing something so disgusting? Seriously, I'm about to throw up..."

After all, it's a one-way street.

Ultimately, he is a rather solitary person. Saying such boring and shameful things in front of so many people, even the undisputed number one would find it hard to bear.

In short, Accelerator felt that this kind of thing would be troublesome even if he were to fight Aiwass.

"Wow!! That's so cool!!"

Just as I was thinking this, one of the culprits came running over.

Last Order, dressed in his signature blue and white outfit, leaped to Accelerator's side in one breath.

"Although Misaka had already imagined what Accelerator would look like on stage, the effect of what she imagined and what she actually saw was really different! So cool!! Misaka Misaka couldn't suppress her admiration and joy for Accelerator, and at the same time, she was venting her happy feelings by your side!"

"This is so annoying... By the way, how did you guys sneak in? Didn't they say that only staff members are allowed in the break room?"

"Of course, it's because we're considered part of your family, so naturally there's no such restriction."

"That's right, it's rare to see you being so active, how could I not step forward and take a look?"

Yoshikawa Kikyo and Yomikawa Aiho.

The two women, carrying their final creation, entered the open-air rest area, followed by another person.

"...What business do you have with the clone?"

"Oh dear, even though Last Order is a clone, why do you only use that term to refer to Misaka? Misaka can't imagine, could it be that the First One actually holds a special place in Misaka's heart as well?"

This sullen tone is definitely from a side story character.

She made no attempt to hide the malicious smile on her face as she casually walked into the room, dressed in a cheongsam.

"Speaking of which, I never expected you to actually do something so stupid. Even Misaka was really taken aback."

"Then show me more of that feeling."

"And besides, Misaka originally planned to put some firecrackers at your opening ceremony. With Misaka's own abilities, it might just cause the worst opening ceremony in history!"

"You should be glad you didn't do that, otherwise you would be getting a million spanks in front of everyone."

"Oh~ Misaka is so scary! Is this a plan to socially exterminate Misaka? Then you should do something even more lewd to Misaka's body, shouldn't you?"

Ignoring her tedious talk, Accelerator simply leaned back on the sofa.

He reached for the coffee on the table, but found nothing.

The extra character snatched the canned coffee before him.

"Hey…"

"What's wrong with that? You drink this stuff every day anyway, so wouldn't it be nice for Misaka to have a taste since it's a rare opportunity?"

Like a child showing off after snatching a toy, the extra character maliciously shook the can of coffee in his hand.

But Hatsune Miku was immediately shocked after seeing it.

"A side story character! Wait, wait a minute! That can of coffee—"

"Then Misaka won't hold back... Pfft?!?!"

The moment he took a sip, or more accurately, the instant his tongue touched the coffee, the extra individual spat it out.

"What kind of junk is this?! Why is it so bitter?!"

"...So, that coffee was really bitter..."

Hatsune Miku, who hadn't finished speaking, couldn't help but smile wryly.

This is truly an extraordinary situation… Thinking this, Accelerator went straight up the steps.

He could still hear the sounds of the extra characters and Last Order fighting over coffee behind him, but he ignored them and instead looked down at the stage.

Countless people gathered together.

Even though his personal opening ceremony had ended more than ten minutes ago, there were still countless people outside, including reporters, fans, and all sorts of people who wanted to join in the fun.

and--

"How are you feeling? You're number one now. Although you've become an idol, I'm still a senior who came before you. Don't let me, the second-place winner, find an opportunity to take your number one spot!"

"It felt really good, your personal opening ceremony was so impressive!!"

"Hmm... I guess it's not bad for you, right?"

"Wow, this is much more amazing than I imagined. Is this what an idol is like?"

"Good job, Accelerator! So, just like back in the Anbu, if you spot any cute girls in idol groups, remember to report to me, the former 'Group' intelligence officer, meow!"

Imperial Governor Kakine, Sogiban Gunha, Yubi Tamaki, Mitsuaki Umihara, and Motoharu Tsuchimikado.

These individuals successively sent emails to themselves to celebrate. Of course, other idols also sent various emails afterward, and a bunch of unfamiliar celebrities and other people tagged them on Twitter.

…What is this? Virtual YouTubers (Vtubers)? There's actually such a profession? And how did they know about me? How come these virtual YouTubers started livestreaming and discussing themselves as soon as the opening ceremony ended?

"This world is so chaotic and hopeless."

Despite being the person directly involved, Accelerator did nothing, not even posting a single tweet, yet the news has already reached so many people.
