One-way traffic

Kamijou Touma, Misaka Mikoto, and the US president were in one group, while Budweiser was in another.

Accelerator and Hatsune Miku were in charge of the other group.

"This is it."

The two went straight to the front of the somewhat deserted airport.

Although it is empty, it is only because there is only one plane here.

The back door was wide open, looking as if it was about to close, on a military green transport plane.

Accelerator and Hatsune Miku exchanged a glance, and then rushed into the room at inhuman speed.

The cabin door was locked immediately.

"...Will it really be here?"

"You mean the detonator?"

"...Something just feels off."

Hatsune Miku couldn't help but frown slightly.

The entire cabin was very spacious and... very quiet.

It was eerily quiet.

"The plane was about to take off, and the rear cabin door was still half open, and there were no soldiers guarding the area."

"Ha, it looks like they're welcoming us in!"

At the same moment, the entire cabin was immediately illuminated.

wrong.

This place is not empty.

Inside the cabin, countless soldiers in special military uniforms surrounded the two of them.

"…interesting."

Accelerator couldn't help but chuckle as he looked at the group of guys.

Even so, they still had no intention of putting down their guns, and even went further, firing at the floor next to Hatsune Miku.

The white monster looked at them with a sharp smile.

"I have some good news to tell you."

After those words, the fighting began.

"You're all surrounded by me, you bastards!"

Chapter 321 You think I can't do it?

The result is obvious.

Even a large army could not defeat this Level 5 esper, the strongest in Academy City.

His power surpassed the limits of human imagination, and under such a massive and intense attack, he easily defeated all his enemies in less than a minute.

Accelerator pressed down on the necklace around his neck, looking somewhat bored.

These soldiers wouldn't attack him without reason, much less set up such a trap for them to fall into.

They were also controlled soldiers.

"Hatsune, help me out."

"OK, I understand."

Hatsune Miku, who was standing to the side, immediately raised the magic wand she was holding tightly, and started operating the Doomsday Destroyer, which had transformed into "Psionic Generator" mode, directly targeting the soldiers who had fallen to the ground in front of her.

Ultimately, this kind of magic targeting mind manipulation can simply be countered by a mind control ability of equal or even greater strength.

Just like fighting poison with poison, although Accelerator's superpowers are unlikely to be effective against those magic systems, the "psychic generator" is an innate latent ability of this weapon that can manipulate mental power.

Any power that doesn't fall under the category of superpowers will do.

"Well…"

"I, what's wrong with me...?"

As expected, the soldiers regained their senses and became fully alert the moment they came to their senses.

After throwing away all the guns they had been holding, the soldiers wore expressions that were completely unreadable, as if they hadn't come to their senses at all.

"It seems he has fully regained consciousness."

Accelerator waved his hand, indicating that Hatsune Miku didn't need to continue, and at the same time looked in the other direction.

He went straight to the driver's seat.

Bang! !

Although the driver's cab door was locked, the first man easily pried open the door—a door so tight that even bullets could bounce off—with just two fingers.

There, the first thing that came into view was a pilot, panting heavily.

"Uh... I, I just now?!"

"Tsk, even the pilots have been taken into custody?"

Everyone here is a puppet manipulated by that blonde magician.

This was decided before boarding the plane, and for Accelerator, it was indeed a trap.

As things stand, he has already been sent away.

Was put together.

"That brat from Badville must be the same. So, does that mean only one plane was actually carrying the detonator...?"

"One party...!"

At the same time, Hatsune Miku suddenly shouted inside the cabin.

call--! ! !

From the front mirror on the nose of the aircraft, a transport plane in the distance can be seen exhibiting an irregular posture.

Its hatch opened, and then you could see a figure swaying back and forth there.

The president of the United States, dressed in a black suit, is named Robert Catcher, while the third-ranking member of Academy City is doing his best to pull him back into the cabin.

There's no need to elaborate on the exact situation.

"This is terrible... We have to go save them right now!"

"No, I'm the only one going. I want you to stay here and behave yourself."

"Eh?"

Under Hatsune Miku's somewhat surprised gaze, the first person cleared their throat and spoke.

“If you leave this plane, that magician might still be able to manipulate these guys again, but as long as you stay here and maintain mental control over these soldiers, you can prevent them from having their mental domains corrupted by that magician.”

"As for that guy on the plane... I'll take care of him."

"But... how do we get there?"

A soldier sitting nearby overheard the conversation between the two.

"This is almost at cloud level! Even with a parachute and hang glider, there's no way to catch up with a transport plane traveling at such a high speed!"

"You don't need to worry about it."

—Squeak.

Before he could finish speaking, the soldier was already frozen in place.

Right in front of him, the first person tore open the cabin door, creating a large, visible gash.

Countless gusts of wind rushed in instantly, and everyone couldn't help but sway outwards.

But what's amazing is that even though the cabin walls were torn open, no one was sucked out.

It was as if someone was deliberately manipulating all of this.

"I'll leave this to you. I'll finish this soon."

"…Um."

Faced with Accelerator's words, the girl did nothing more than entrust him with something.

"I have to be careful. I'm looking forward to seeing Accelerator's second live performance tonight..."

"...Of course."

And so, the white monster flew outwards.

He said this with a grin.

"Who do you think I am?"

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

This is the interior of another transport plane.

Unlike the two planes belonging to Budweiser and Accelerator, the three people in this group all encountered enormous trouble in their own way.

"..."

Kamijou Touma stood unsteadily in place.

Behind them, with the cabin door open, the current US president was being blown outwards. If Misaka Mikoto hadn't used magnetism to barely hold herself in front of the cabin door and thus hold the president back, the two of them would probably have already flown out of the cabin.

The culprit behind all this is right in front of him.

A blonde girl with a green headband, dressed in green.

“…Salonia A. Elivica!”

Maintaining his unsteady posture, Touma Kamijou gritted his teeth and glared at the girl in front of him.

The truth has come to light.

The blonde girl in front of me, who looks only fifteen years old, is the person behind this incident.

She was a magician who escaped from a Russian religious sect, and also the culprit who plunged the entire United States into utter chaos.

"Woo!"

"If that's the case, then there won't be any problems, Touma Kamijou."

Salonia raised her hand not to use any supernatural power to attack, neither magic nor superpowers, but something that could be found everywhere in the United States.

gun.

Even a fifteen-year-old girl could easily grip a black pistol, which she held tightly in her hand, its dark muzzle pointed directly at Touma Kamijou's body.

The spiky-haired youth felt a deep sense of panic.

Despite having faced all sorts of powerful enemies so far, from the strongest esper in Academy City to the mastermind behind World War III who was trying to take over the entire world, Touma Kamijou still sees the weapon in her hand as a deadly weapon that could cause her immense harm.

Imagine Breaker, the mysterious power residing in its right hand, can erase all supernatural abilities, restoring the world to its original state, but it has no way to deal with the secondary phenomena that arise from it.

Putting aside everything else, even if it were just a handgun, or even a kitchen knife that could be found anywhere, if it were to cut that hand, Touma Kamijou would still be powerless.

Moreover, if the opponent is not using special superpowers or magic, the techniques you subconsciously use, which rely on detecting premonitions, will be less effective.

"The Imagine Breaker is a huge threat to us."

Click.

The girl's finger was now on the tip of the trigger.

"So, please just leave like this."

"...!"

Although Touma Kamijou desperately wanted to dodge, the powerful suction from behind prevented him from moving an inch.

If you stay like this, you'll get shot.

"Damn it...! Is there no other way...?"

Most importantly, after she is shot, Misaka Mikoto and Robert behind her will also be attacked by that magician. At that time, Misaka Mikoto might be held back because of her, and the enemy she could have instinctively defeated will not be able to exert its full strength to face her.
