Editing review, starting from Natsuki Subaru shocking the world

Liancha did not look back.

She just twisted a little.

Then——

With a “clang!” sound, many “hooks” opened from behind and passed by Kamijou. Then, he could switch immediately.

The "giant flower" with the "spout point" characteristic of the ability closed again.

Second place in Academy City.

White wings made of "unreal matter" appeared from behind Rencha, and launched a wide-range attack towards the rear. With a "boom!", the wings that suddenly rushed out turned into hundreds of sharp stakes. If they hit a human body, they might turn the opponent into shapeless slime.

however.

The white wings that should have had absolute destructive power were shattered with a sound like breaking glass.

"..."

Before Rencha could turn around to check behind her, Kamijou Touma kicked the petite figure right in the middle without hesitation.

"No... don't touch her casually!"

Hamazura, who was still lying on the ground, shouted to Kamijou who was about to give chase:

"That girl... can switch... several abilities. Even her level 5 superpower has more than one... If you run into her carelessly, you'll be killed by the power of the number one!"

Rencha turned suddenly in front of the stunned Kamijou.

Clang! The sound of metal biting each other was heard.

There was something startlingly gleaming in her palms.

BANG! A loud noise erupted, as if scorching space itself.

"!"

Kamijou bent down with all his strength, and a flash of light and a sonic boom passed over him, forcibly burning off the blades of the wind turbine.

Kamijou judged that this move belonged to a different system from the wings just now.

This is the fourth place "Atomic Disintegration", but he doesn't know it.

"Confirmed as medium-level. I judge the situation to be quite serious."

“…You are the culprit who forced Tsuchimikado to that point by ‘attacking Maika’, right?”

"Keng——!" The back of Liancha opened wide, and several "crochet hooks" burst out from it.

She switched abilities and said:

"I have a record of the first mover. It's a tooth for a tooth, a tooth for a tooth, a hundredfold return is the basic principle. I don't have any concerns about that Tsuchimikado, but the question of 'how to achieve a hundredfold' is what has been bothering me."

"You... don't make any sense!"

Kamijou swung his right fist and deflected the high-voltage electric current that Rencha released with his bangs at a very close distance.

Rencha's pupils expanded and contracted like a camera lens.

"What's 'human resources'? What's wrong with using Fremea Severon's guidance method? Is it worth trampling on human lives for a plan that can only distort level 0 powerless people at best?!"

“Re-confirm the seriousness of the situation. In order to correct the situation, we will execute the killing of Kamijou Touma.”

The back of Rencha opened wide, and the "huge flower" opened and closed again.

A strong wind blew past with a "whoosh".

The first in Academy City. A fierce wind created by manipulating the direction of energy.

but--

"There is a book——"

Before the air currents that reached a speed of 120 meters per second could attack, Kamijou took the initiative to rush towards Rencha.

“Just give it a try!”

He came at him aggressively and punched him in the face.

In a hurry, Rencha swung her arm to block the fist and gave up the control of the fierce wind. Rencha stepped back slightly, opened the "hooks" behind her again, and reorganized the characteristics of the "spout point". She quickly manipulated the magnetic force and caught the coin that fell to the ground with her palm.

The intention is obvious.

Kamijou punched Rencha's wrist, causing the attack trajectory to deviate greatly outward.

There was a loud noise of "Boom!"

Just one step away, the orange flash shoots in a direction the user does not expect.

"…You can't use the powers of multiple level 5 esper users at the same time."

Although she can use the ability of the first place, she cannot perform combos at supersonic speed. And perhaps because it is not compatible with the cyborg body, she did not use the extremely strong magnetic force to create the iron sand sword, nor did she use it to control cars, security robots and other electronic products.

Unless under certain conditions such as being on the defensive, Rencha will use ranged attacks as much as possible.

in other words--

"The delay time for you to switch abilities is fixed, and you have to start over every time you switch. Of course I can catch your moment to attack."

Their foreheads collided at a very close distance, and Rencha fell backwards. After hitting the metal trash can behind her, she half-bent over to ensure space, barely letting the "giant flower" pop out from behind. Rencha reached into the box and pulled out something that looked like a TV remote control.

However, just as Rencha was about to stab the thing at Kamijou, Kamijou kicked the remote control upwards with all his strength.

Hand flew into the air.

"You! You can only do the same things as a Level 5 Psychic! You are not a Psychic! Compared to those monsters who can handle all kinds of distance battles single-handedly, you are nothing!"

The "hook" opened and closed, and Kamijou moved sideways to avoid the subsequent close-range flash and retaliated with a punch.

Rencha's eyes moved erratically.

Perhaps calculating the best defensive means or evasive routes.

despite this--

Kamijou’s fist still hit Rencha’s face hard in the center.

(…?)

Something feels wrong.

Although the punch undoubtedly hit the bull's eye, in Kamijou's eyes, it looked like Rencha had chosen the best answer among the many options in his mind and deliberately took the punch.

(Could it be... Oops!)

Immediately following.

Rencha's purple and cherry-colored metal arm flew over as if to collide with Kamijou's fist. She grabbed Kamijou's throat without hesitation and lifted the boy up.

“Ah, um…!”

I couldn't breathe. Perhaps it was because my blood stopped flowing, my head felt like it was going to explode. Rencha looked at Kamijou, who was kicking his legs, and said:

"I judged that the ability battle was not in my favor, so I decided that it would be best to switch to driving the mechanical body to engage in hand-to-hand combat. After all, although the difference in physical strength is not big, I can control the pain signals."

"you……"

"After achieving the goal of 'defeating Tsuchimikado Motoharu', I have no idea how and why you were able to stand on the stage again, but that's it."

Kamijou said “Hey!”

Even with his neck being strangled, he still smiled.

"You haven't discovered yet?"

"?"

"You are so arrogant... You said you would manipulate humans like us like billiard balls, but you don't even know how to do something so simple..."

Rencha, who was still holding Kamijou by the neck, tilted his head in confusion.

There was no trace of emotion in her eyes.

"There's no need for some grand plan. Just say 'help me' and we'll do it."

"Your words and actions are incomprehensible. Give up the analysis."

There was no hesitation in Rencha's voice.

The so-called cyborgs should refer to people whose bodies are partially or mostly supplemented by machines, as well as related technologies; however, Rencha's voice is so flat that it makes people doubt whether she really has any "human part" left.

Keng——!

Several "crochet hooks" emerged from behind Liancha, opening and closing like giant flowers, quickly reorganizing the wiring in her body.

It made her the same as the highest level 5 esper, of which there were only seven people in Xueqi City.

"I will activate the first place 'reflex' in this state. Let's see if you will die from explosive bleeding due to the reverse flow of blood and nerve signals throughout your body."

This brazen statement was as if the power voucher he was using was actually his own.

"It's really disgusting and despicable."

Accelerator, hearing his own ability being mentioned, silently sat up and watched the hard-working

Kuroyoro Umidori saw Kamijou Touma being lifted up.

But the end has not yet come.

There should be something else we can do.

The night fell to the ground and gnashed her teeth, dark red blood seeping out from between her teeth. But she didn't care, and focused all her attention on her only remaining left arm. This was her last weapon. She only had one shot left from the "Nitrogen Blast Gun".

Hamazura Shiage collapsed nearby.

Once Kamijou Touma dies, Rencha will probably turn around and deal with Hamazura right away.

There was some noise coming from Rencha's eyes.

She used wireless signals to illegally connect to the "Bank", one of the major databases in the Academy City, and with the facial recognition function, she could instantly search for information about hostile ability users. This was to understand what kind of performance she had acquired through her ability as an "ejection point".

Kamijou Touma's ability is Imagine Breaker.

According to the results of the physical examination recorded in the “library”, Kamijou is a genuine level 0 powerless person. He seems to be different from ordinary level 0 powerless people, and even the precision instruments cannot detect it.

The remarks section says "there is testimony that seems to be able to offset other abilities." To be honest, the information in the remarks column is likely to be a self-directed advertisement to boost one's own reputation. Normally, such things should be ignored...

(On the other hand, this phenomenon did happen several times just now. From my personal point of view, it would be a lie to say that I have no interest.)

Although Rencha can theoretically display various abilities, she can only act as a "spray point" as a cyborg. In other words, they are all borrowed, and once the original owner dies, the ability will disappear from her inventory forever.

Therefore, when the target of her attack possesses a valuable ability, she will also feel a sense of "pity".

however--

That was just a personal opinion after all. She called out the ability that ranked first in the preset list of Academy City, starting from the strangled neck, preparing to reverse the boy's blood and nerve signals.

Chapter 169. Liancha's Defeat

Skills are cast in a variety of ways, and abilities are leaked at will;

Whatever is applied and used is not the power from its source.

They all come from illicit sources, either through technological theft or other means.

The super-powered people who hold these abilities used by them;

Some of them are strangers to Kamijou, some are his bickering enemies, some are complete strangers to Kamijou, and some have nothing to do with him at all.

This is true for the second and fourth.

The second Wei Yuan substance witnessed this bastard repeatedly using his abilities, and gradually felt that something was wrong.

The fourth person, Atomic Collapse, frowned tightly when he saw this scene, clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction, and pulled his hair in annoyance.

Your own abilities are brought onto the screen, but the person using them is not yourself.

No one knows better than them what this means.

As one of the seven strongest psychics, these bigwigs from the Anbu who have seen many of the shady sides of Academy City know very well that if anyone dares to use the ability to study them and display it unscrupulously, it can only be because there is someone backing them up.

Or...are any of them completely abandoned from the sequence?

Both are possible.

but...
