One-way traffic

This is the 7th school district, which is a bit far from here.

However, that was nothing to Accelerator, who possessed extraordinary mobility.

"Eh...are we leaving already?"

"I will look at the detailed intelligence as I go, and there is not much time to rest for now."

Oh... I see.

Hatsune Miku blinked listlessly.

"...Well, at least eat breakfast, okay?"

"Huh? This kind of thing is completely..."

"It's optional"—I couldn't bring myself to say that.

Accelerator looked at the girl in front of him, who looked somewhat disappointed... It would be really difficult to just leave her like this.

and.

That was the breakfast that the young girl had carefully prepared for herself that day.

"It's really troublesome."

He clicked his tongue in displeasure and went straight back to the dining table.

Hatsune Miku was slightly taken aback, seemingly not expecting that Accelerator would actually come back.

"Are you satisfied now? Although it doesn't really matter to me whether I eat or not."

"…whee."

She smiled happily.

Then, just like before, he used a fork to pick up a slice of bacon and sent it to Accelerator.

The first one sighed, too lazy to struggle anymore.

And so, Hatsune Miku remained pressed close to each other, and as she used her hands and fork to feed the bacon to Accelerator—

The door was opened.

"Hey!! You didn't know, did you? Something really bad seems to have happened in the 13th school district... Huh?"

The side story character is back.

She was holding some things she had bought, but she didn't know what they were, and now wasn't the time to pay attention.

She just stared blankly at the two people in the living room.

The two of them maintained such an intimate distance from each other and even made such... suggestive gestures.

It's not hard to imagine what will happen next in this apartment where only the two of them are alone (although their genders are actually ambiguous).

The three of them stared at each other, and the air seemed to freeze.

"you…"

"Ah—yes, it's because Misaka didn't come back in time. Well, Misaka, let's retreat."

Bang! Then, the extra character slammed the door shut.

But then she opened the door again, thought for a moment, and said a few words.

"Those who are supposed to come won't come. Even Misaka won't be back for several hours. Misaka didn't see anything. Yeah, that's how it is."

"So... even if it results in someone dying, you don't need to worry too much."

After leaving those words, the extra character dashed off like a shot.

Because she knew very well that if she didn't run fast, the monster behind her would go completely berserk.

"Ah... well, that... just now..."

So even the girl with pigtails, who was trying to appear calm, ended up standing there with her cheeks flushed.

"Causing someone to die, yes, yes, yes... what does that mean... I, I don't know, I don't know, waaaah, I don't know, I don't know—"

Accelerator sighed deeply, with a genuine sense of sorrow.

"That's why I say this kind of thing is the most troublesome... damn thing."

Chapter 541 Battle Between Heroes

First of all.

For Accelerator, distance is not a key factor.

He sat in the supercar that Nateus had conjured, speeding along the highways of Academy City.

The cell phone inside the car was connected to the system, projecting a series of intelligence data in front of him in the form of an electronic projector.

"Human resources... Freya... Hmph, is that all there is to it?"

By using the equipment that was monitoring Tsuchimikado Motoharu's side, Accelerator obtained enough information and intelligence.

In short, there is a researcher named Hisako Yakumi, who is also one of the twelve directors of the board of directors. She seems to have caused some kind of incredibly chaotic incident.

The central figure in the incident is the little girl named Fremia, who was the one who was hunted down during the last "new student" incident.

This time, the situation changed again, with her being hunted down.

The basic reason is that, in the countless incidents that have occurred in Academy City so far, the ones who have been protected are often young girls.

The girl chosen as the representative among these little girls was named Fremia Sevilen.

She was assigned the role of the 'weakest' who should be protected the most, and then, through special means, she used this to treat the countless people gathered together as so-called 'heroes' and get them to protect Freya.

According to the data, the number of these so-called heroes is as high as 7,500.

Their so-called protection was actually nothing more than killing each other in order to secure the condition of protecting Fremia.

This was exactly the plan devised by that guy named Yakumi Hisako. Now, as a member of the Overseeing Council, she also had the ability to instruct the cyborg Rencha, created to suppress the seven Level 5 espers, to be responsible for killing Freya herself.

And now, in a building located in the 13th school district, almost all the heroes have gathered there.

"A hero...?"

Accelerator gave a bored look and curled his lip.

He stopped looking at the information inside the car, because he already knew all the details.

"Since you dare to be defined as a hero, you should at least have some awareness of your own."

The first person pressed a button on the control screen.

Nateus's sunroof opened, and at the same time, the entire car began to change instantly.

In that brief period of time.

A silver-red supercar was transformed into a high-tech motorcycle.

The motorcycle was entirely enveloped in deep red glow lines, with a silver and black shell, equally dark red lights, and tires that shone with a flame-like brilliance on the inside.

The weapon called Nathos is not limited to transforming into a sports car.

With his hands gripping the handlebars tightly, Yifang Tongxing slammed the throttle down without hesitation.

The speed is 2,448 kilometers per hour.

Twice the speed of sound—that's already beyond the level of any fighter jet technology to date.

Moreover, this is still not the motorcycle's maximum speed.

After transforming into a motorcycle, Accelerator felt that his speed and maneuverability had become more agile. Although he could reach his destination instantly as a supercar, this state was more suitable for him to move flexibly in various narrow spaces.

"Alright... since you dare to call yourself a hero, you should at least have some skills of your own."

Powered by karmic fire that does not belong to Earth, flames that distort the air instantly erupted from the rear of the locomotive.

In an instant, the motorcycle, along with the scooter, flew straight toward the cliff in front of the highway.

"Let me see if you guys really have the right to call yourselves heroes."

That's it.

In just a few minutes, the motorcycles speeding through the city headed straight for their destination.

Bang——! ! !

The building's windows were subsequently shattered.

It exploded and fell through the skylight.

Accelerator, riding the motorcycle transformed from Nathos, drifted directly into the building.

Boom—A gust of wind swept up.

The impact of the landing and the supersonic shockwave instantly annihilated thousands of heroes.

Of course, they did not die.

As Accelerator descended from Nathos, he looked around and saw that no one could stand up again.

"How boring, it's over already?"

He gave a bored smirk, put Nathos away, and looked around again.

Near those fallen heroes... there is an area resembling an entrance.

Meanwhile, sounds of attacks and explosions could be heard continuously from that side.

Judging from the looks of it, there must be a high-level battle going on down there... Accelerator thought to himself.

He opened the door leading directly to the underground entrance.

Below was a narrow passage, like a sewer, but—

It is already quite obvious that there are many signs of damage.

Accelerator squinted and slowly walked towards the end of the road.

And over there.

A huge, museum-like hall unfolded before my eyes.

Boom! ...

In the center of the hall, two shadows, invisible to the naked eye, were colliding with each other at high speed.

"Hehehe! How about that? This is how a Level 5 esper should behave!"

The one who made the sound was the cyborg girl.

Liancha, but unlike her previous attire, this time she was dressed entirely in something resembling a tight-fitting combat suit, and her hair was completely loose.

and.

That personality was also very different from the previous Liancha.

"So what if it's a supersonic domain? The number one superpower should be this strong, right!"

"...!"

However, Liancha was not the only one present at the scene.

There was one familiar figure remaining.

The person fighting fiercely with Liancha was a young man wearing a brown shirt and with the same brown hair.

Six enormous white wings, each about twenty meters long, grew behind him, constantly flapping within this vast space to intercept the attacks released by Liancha.

The second-ranked member of Academy City, Kakine Teitoku.

And that's not all.

"...That guy?"

Aside from these two, Accelerator spotted an unexpected figure in the very center of the hall.

Black school uniform, black spiky hair.

A boy, his right hand clenched tightly, stared upwards, seemingly determined to stop the two no matter what.

"That guy's here too...?"

Although he was initially surprised, Accelerator quickly accepted it.
