"Everyone! Please don't panic! Please evacuate in an orderly manner and don't crowd together—ahhh!!"

The host on stage was originally planning to give evacuation orders, but the series of explosions completely terrified her.

The explosion caused the stage to collapse, resulting in a large amount of debris falling down.

Bang! !

But then, a white shadow flashed by, and all the rubble was thrown away by the impact of some kind of force.

"Eh...?!"

"Quickly take the others to safety, take as many people as you can."

Kakine Teitoku, dressed in his official uniform, stood right in front of him.

He was completely unharmed, despite having been engulfed by a series of flames.

"Stop dawdling, hurry up!"

"Okay, okay!"

The young female host was startled awake and immediately ran away into the distance.

Kakine Teitoku clicked his tongue as he looked towards the venue. Currently, although the source of the explosion wasn't in the audience area, if an explosion were to occur there…

"This was not an ordinary bandit attack at all."

As a gust of wind blew up, another figure appeared beside him.

Accelerator.

"Those idiots wouldn't dare to do something like that in front of six Level 5 superpowered beings; that would be tantamount to suicide."

"...I reckon only those guys would have the guts to do that."

Kakine Teitoku knew exactly who was behind it all.

"The Dark Side of Academy City...hasn't it been completely wiped out yet?"

Although Accelerator had discussed the matter with the higher-ups of Academy City after World War III, and they did indeed guarantee that all the Dark Sides would be disbanded to prevent the emergence of new darkness.

But with examples like the "new students" existing, eradicating the darkness of Academy City is nearly impossible.

Boom! Another explosion came from afar.

This time, however, the explosion occurred in an area closer to the audience seating.

Countless rubble was blasted into the air, and rubble with steel rebar fragments fell from the sky.

If it were to hit everyone in the audience like that, it would inevitably cause even greater damage.

Bilibili

In that instant, the electric current forcibly brought all the flying stones under control.

Because of the presence of a significant amount of steel reinforcement, the gravel was firmly controlled by the magnetic field lines and fell smoothly to the ground.

"Tsk, what on earth is going on here?"

Mugino Shizuri, Shokuhou Misaki, Misaka Mikoto.

And the shrewd general who rushed to the audience area to help others as soon as possible.

Several Level 5 espers then began to take action. Misaka Mikoto was responsible for controlling all the falling steel bars and rubble, while Kyoka Gunha was in charge of evacuating the crowd in case another explosion occurred.

Misaki Shokuhou is the esper most capable of managing crowd evacuation, so she immediately made reasonable arrangements for the crowd.

Mugino Shizuri ran straight to the stands and found the first and second people.

"The explosion just now, it came from this side, didn't it?"

"Even if you ask me that, I still don't know which guys are planning to attack us."

Kakine Teitoku frowned and looked around.

"No... whether it was an attack on us or simply an attack on the crowd, it's impossible to say for sure."

"Deliberately causing a disturbance to conceal their movements...? Hmph, that's exactly the kind of thing a bastard from the Anbu would do!"

Despite this, Mugino Shizuri and Kakine Teitoku were still unable to figure out where the attackers were.

pat.

At that very moment, Accelerator calmly placed his foot on the ground.

Invisible waves spread out instantly.

"...the area on the east side of the square, and also the southeast side."

When he opened his eyes, Accelerator had already given him accurate information.

"Those guys are a group of armed terrorists, most likely remnants of some secret organization, and they are gathered separately in the east and southeast."

"How...how did you know?"

Mugino Shizuri stared at him in astonishment.

Just a second ago, they were all clueless, so how did he understand so easily with just one stomp of his foot?

By manipulating the direction of energy and using a principle similar to sonar to spread the energy direction, one can accurately obtain the image and information of certain things within a radius of several kilometers... Of course, the first person would definitely be too lazy to explain this to her.

Accelerator ignored her and simply moved silently, flying towards that location.

"Tsk...what an annoying brat."

"That guy has his own way of doing things. After all, that bastard is the number one priority."

Kakine Teitoku, on the contrary, was not surprised by this. He seemed to have expected that Accelerator would be able to find out everything safely.

"Now that we know the location, there's no need to wander around like a headless fly."

Having grasped the accurate information, the second person's smile began to turn cold.

"I want to see which blind punk is trying to disturb my live performance."

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

This location is a few kilometers away from the One End Festival Live venue.

These people were all located in abandoned underground railway tunnels and were equipped with a large amount of equipment.

Looking around, almost everything was control equipment used to detonate remote bombs.

How many bombs are left unexploded?

"Thirteen of them, if detonated, can successfully engulf the entire venue of the Yiduan Festival."

"In the underground of the One-Sided Ritual, there must be personnel we have deployed preparing, right?"

"Once those ordinary people are captured, we can use hostages to threaten the higher-ups and thereby control all the Level 5 superpowered individuals."

“Very good… Although the sixth one isn’t among them, it’s still quite nice to be able to manage six superpowered individuals at once.”

As the leading soldier, he was naturally in charge of this series of explosions.

However, their ultimate goal was not simply to create chaos to threaten the higher-ups.

"Even if this attempt fails, we still have 'that' as collateral; there's no reason for us to lose!"

He made contact with the communication device while checking the control platform in front of him.

then.

The images displayed on the platform gradually turned into a black and white static screen.

"...?!"

He initially thought there was something wrong with the machine and was about to restart it when...

The image has been restored.

However, all the images above only show the figure of one person.

A human whose entire body was pale and exuded an eerie aura.

He calmly raised his hand, as if a guest being invited into his home were knocking on the door.

Bang——! ! !

In that instant, the front end of the underground tunnel was torn apart.

"Varied…?"

All the soldiers raised their weapons and pointed them forward.

Only one person emerged from the dust and mud.

"Yo."

White hair and red eyes.

It is a monster that looks like a human, but cannot be classified as an ordinary human in any way.

He simply opened his arms and spoke calmly.

"Are you having enough fun playing house? You crybabies, want to consider adding me to the game?"

Chapter 521 Love Investigation

"It's...it's number one! It's Accelerator!!"

Almost without hesitation, those people started firing their guns.

The smile on the first monster's face only deepened.

Click-click-click.

All the bullets that hit him returned the way they came.

Countless soldiers were hit by bullets, and some were lucky enough to throw their weapons away, otherwise their weapons would have exploded on the spot.

"Are you all out of your minds? Are you idiots? That guy is a Level 5 esper, he can manipulate all vectors and reflect them! Didn't I tell you that before I came?!"

The leader was speechless at the incompetence of these idiots.

However, he himself couldn't control himself and fired the gun, even though he knew the other party could deflect all attacks, he still couldn't control his behavior.

When humans possess weapons, they will instinctively act in this way when faced with danger.

This is not a matter of reason or intelligence.

"Use the AIM jammer! Without their abilities, even a Level 5 superhuman is just a brat who can be killed with a single shot!"

The remaining people quickly ran to a huge machine at the back.

It had the three dark red letters AIM on it, and below it was a huge handle.

This is equipment from the Council of General Affairs level. Pulling the handle will unleash the highest level of ability interference, which will suppress the monster's output.

then.

Before anyone could act, a light pebble pierced through the machine in front of them.

—BOOM!!! An even larger explosion pierced through the tunnel.

Flames engulfed almost everyone in front of them, and the explosion of the machines caused all sorts of instruments around them to malfunction and explode.

The team, which originally had dozens of members, was reduced to just a few.

"Goo...Gah!"

"You must be the leader of that bunch of scum."

The sound came from right in front of me.

The leading soldier looked up and saw the monster, oblivious to the flames and the burning, standing brazenly before him.

He felt cold both physically and mentally.

"This, this is Team B! Team A! We've been attacked! The enemy is the fourth-ranked level five—Ughhhhh!!!"

"Team C has been attacked by a second Level 5 esper! Damn it! What's wrong with this guy's wings? Why can't my weapons penetrate them at all—whoa!!"

The soldiers in Team A froze on the spot.

Before him, the monster calmly took out a cell phone from its pocket and casually dialed a number.
