Comprehensive: Beginning with the Killer Queen

Chapter 430 Misaka Mikoto will never admit defeat
"——Roland!"

Hearing that casual greeting, Misaka Mikoto let out a low, angry roar.

Like a little girl whose candy was taken away, she grinned slightly and glared at Roland with fierce eyes.

"Eh... this kind of performance? Could it be that..."

Looking at the deep anger in Misaka Mikoto's bright eyes, Shirai Kuroko's mouth twitched unconsciously.

Although she should be happy to see her beloved elder sister being angry at a bad-hearted guy like Roland.

But Shirai Kuroko, who is familiar with Misaka Mikoto's personality, knows that although she does not have the arrogance that a person with super powers should have, she is not extrovert enough to take the initiative to make close friends with others.

For people she is not interested in, let alone feeling angry, she doesn't even bother to argue with them.

Such strong emotions were proof that she cared deeply about Roland.

Thinking of Roland's previous performance, Shirai Kuroko's face suddenly turned pale.

"Could it be that my elder sister has also been defiled by this guy?!"

"Who is defiled?"

Misaka Mikoto's angry face turned red at a speed visible to the naked eye at Kuroko's scream.

This rare posture, born out of pure shame, even gives people a feeling of being delicate and charming when set against the girl's dignified demeanor.

But at this moment, Shirai Kuroko no longer had the time to appreciate this precious scene.

"Crack——!"

After a moment's silence, Misaka Mikoto decisively reached out and grasped Shirai Kuroko's chin to prevent the latter from uttering any more vicious words.

"What nonsense are you talking about--!"

The electric arc quickly spread out from the ends of her hair, using the girl's embarrassed and annoyed mood as a medium, and was transmitted to Shirai Kuroko.

"I'm sorry, onee-sama!"

When Kuroko, who was numb all over, trembled and began to beg for mercy, Misaka Mikoto's intense emotions calmed down a little, and she stomped her feet fiercely on the spot.

Shokuhou Misaki, who was admiring Misaka Mikoto's embarrassed and angry expression, also frowned slightly and looked at Roland beside her with suspicion.

"also?"

"I haven't done anything yet," Roland spread his hands. "I can only blame the kid for being too perverted. I couldn't help but tease him a little."

Although out of her female intuition, Shokuhou Misaki always felt that Roland's words had some unfinished meaning, but because she knew that Roland had always been frustratingly frank in this regard, the girl did not continue to ask.

"Shirai-san, don't worry, your sister hasn't been taken away."

She looked at Shirai Kuroko who was showing off with a playful smile on her face.

"The reason why Misaka-san is so concerned about Mr. Roland is just because of another thing."

"another thing?"

"That's right," Shokuhou Misaki said with a smile, "Misaka-san, these people seem to be your good friends. Is it okay to tell them about it in order to clear up the misunderstanding?"

"What a hypocritical fellow..."

This guy definitely wants to laugh at himself!

Looking at the happy smile on Shokuhou Misaki's face, Misaka Mikoto took a step back warily and looked at her with a vigilant expression.

He was obviously thinking about the past few times when he was defeated by the opponent's abilities.

"Oh, that's really rude to say," Shokuhou Misaki blinked her cute eyes and looked at Misaka Mikoto with a smile.

"I came here to ask for your opinion because we are alumni. Otherwise, if we don't resolve the current misunderstanding, we won't be able to continue the explanation. After all, besides Shirai-san, Saten-san and the others seem to be very concerned about this matter as well."

"Oh, no..."

When her name was suddenly called, Riri Saotome waved her hands nervously, but the curious and gossipy look in her eyes betrayed her true thoughts.

On one side is Roland, who saved him like a hero, and on the other side is the electric princess of Tokiwadai, who has just become his friend. In between is the famous Queen Bee.

Not to mention her, even Hatsuharu Shiri, who always knew her limits, couldn't take her eyes off this precious scene of eating melons up close.

Misaka Mikoto sighed and helplessly let go of Shirai Kuroko's hand.

"Forget it, after all, it was me who lost my composure,"

Although she had not spoken out because she was concerned about it, it was not something that needed to be concealed.

"——Let's get straight to the point."

She turned her head and stared at Roland's face with unwilling eyes.

Rather than anger, there was more of a gleam of sharpness in the depths of her eyes.

It was as if there were endless swords clashing in the air, and a strong sense of war was in the air.

"I was defeated by this man in the past."

"Eh---!?"

As Misaka Mikoto expected, such a shocking fact naturally caused a series of exclamations.

Even Shirai Kuroko didn't expect this.

The strongest trait of this elder sister is her competitive spirit.

This doesn't mean that Misaka Mikoto cannot accept failure, but if she fails, she will definitely think about winning back.

It was hard for Shirai Kuroko to imagine what Misaka Mikoto had been through that made her admit that she was unable to defeat Roland.

There is no need to say much about Riri Saotome and the others. The fact that a psychic lost is itself incredible.

Just like before meeting Misaka Mikoto, Saten Ruiko arbitrarily believed that she must be a high-handed and domineering guy.

A large part of this consensus stereotype comes from the power of people with super powers.

Leaving aside other people with super powers, as the signature of Academy City, we can still get some information about how destructive Misaka Mikoto's ability called a certain railgun is.

That is a power that can take away life at will if moral constraints are slightly relaxed.

As a versatile electric shock user, Misaka Mikoto's role on the battlefield will only be more exaggerated.

Modern armored corps are no match for her. To civilized society, she alone has a greater deterrent effect than a nuclear bomb.

After witnessing a glimpse of that power, most people would assume that people with super powers must be arrogant and conceited.

Rather, with such a power that transcends the mundane, it would be strange if one did not have this attitude.

How could she lose to an ordinary person?

"That guy's information clearly says he's a powerless person..."

Shirai Kuroko looked at Roland in disbelief. She had also verified Roland's information and identity yesterday.

Because the information was too concise and completely inconsistent with the confidence shown by Roland during her battle with him, she further deepened her suspicion of Roland and wanted to find out the truth behind it.

Unexpectedly, when the truth really came out, she was a little afraid to believe it.

"Could it be that the true identity of the eighth superpower legend is Mr. Roland?"

Riri Saten muttered to herself, and soon remembered the legend that had swept Academy City half a year ago.

The strongest person who is superior to super-powered people has long been born in Academy City, but because of his nature, he has not been officially included in the ranks of super-powered people.

Because this urban legend was too outrageous and had no basis, it was soon treated as a joke and was gradually drowned out by new urban legends.

But any urban legend that can spread widely, even if it is a lie, must have a similar reason.

Otherwise, they simply wouldn't be able to spread.

It's like telling a friend that the upper echelons of Academy City might be researching an elixir of life, and you've personally seen someone with the body of a child but the personality of an adult.

Friends would naturally discuss it with great interest, and the news would spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred. But if you said that Accelerator, the best in Academy City, was beaten up by a powerless person, most people would just laugh it off and would not discuss it with others.

After all, no one wants to be considered to have intellectual problems.

And since the legend was able to get past the first step and begin to spread widely, it must have some kind of instance.

Apart from being determined by official organizations to have reached the LEVEL 5 level, there is only one possibility left to support this legend.

——Defeat a real superpower.

After figuring it out, Riri Saotome pursed her cherry lips and revealed a bright and lively smile.

"You kept it a secret from me for so long. You really wanted to make fun of me, didn't you?"

Unlike Saten Ruiko's admiration, Shirai Kuroko's face was full of black lines.

No wonder this guy had always looked so confident before, it turns out he had such strong confidence.

"That's really unfair to me. I can't just go and tell a stranger that I defeated the third place urban legend. If I do, it's only half and half at best."

Roland shrugged helplessly and said calmly.

"Isn't it half just to tease me?"

Seeing Roland admit so frankly that he just wanted to play a trick on her, Shirai Kuroko glared at him.

When the girl thought about the fact that she owed the other party a favor because of this sting operation, she became furious and veins popped out on her forehead.

But even if it was a sting operation, she was at fault first. In order to prevent Roland from continuing to make things difficult for her, she still forced herself to endure it.

"I should have thought of it earlier. No wonder I couldn't find any trace of you."

After saying this, Misaka Mikoto also raised her head.

"Since you and Shokuhou Misaki are so closely related, it can only be at Blue Dream Company. In that case, the so-called Dream Maker must be the result of your research."

Although he wanted to challenge Roland immediately, there was an essential difference between being competitive and being a battle maniac.

Misaka Mikoto glanced behind her at Saten Ruiko, whose pretty face was filled with a smile of surprise because of one explosive piece of news after another, and continued speaking.

"Then let me ask directly, the fact that Dream Maker can make powerless people also gain power, is there no consequence?"

Such an unpretentious and straightforward attitude made Shirai Kuroko cover her face.

Although she also likes this kind of straightforward personality, isn't it a bit too hasty to ask others about the core of their project?
Dream Creator is, after all, a confidential project of Blue Dream Company. Finding disabled people as experimental subjects may also be for future marketing considerations.

If this plan is still under development, or if there is something that needs to be improved, which is a commercial secret, how should the other party respond...

Thinking of this, Shirai Kuroko prepared to remedy the situation.

"What your elder sister means is..."

"There is no consequence."

"Eh?"

Shirai Kuroko stared blankly at Roland who readily admitted this, and subconsciously opened his mouth wide, not closing it for a long time.

Shouldn't such crucial information be kept secret? It was only glossed over with some hesitation, and then the righteous discipline committee member Shirai Kuroko found suspicious points.

Then, with a noble and fearless spirit of sacrifice, she took the initiative to enter the Blue Dream Company to fight wits and courage with the evil behind-the-scenes mastermind, and finally expose the truth of the conspiracy hidden behind it?

Why doesn't this guy follow the routine at all?

Shirai Kuroko took great effort to suppress the twitching of her cheeks, but the smile on her face inevitably froze.

"The Dream Maker is a device specifically made to reach my ability. Since it is my ability itself, how can there be any drawbacks? Haven't you already seen Shokuhou's power?"

Roland tilted his head and said with a puzzled look on his face.

"In that case, you should understand that my magnetic field rotation and the superpowers realized by AIM are essentially two different things. The difference in ability level and category will only affect the speed of progress. It will not cause any harm to the ability user."

Having said this, Roland paused and chuckled.

"Rather, when the great era comes, those incompetent people who haven't installed Dream Maker will be the ones who will suffer endless troubles."

"Well, I want to ask a question too!"

After listening to Roland's description, Saten Ruiko, who had been holding her hair, also raised her hand excitedly.

"If the Dream Creator is installed, and compared with a superpower, what level of power can it reach in the end?"

Faced with this question, before Roland could even open his mouth, Shokuhou Misaki's lips curled up.

"Hasn't the answer to this been announced before?"

"Ok?"

Saten Ruiko was stunned for a moment before she realized what Shokuhou Misaki was referring to.

Indeed, in previous urban legends, it was very obvious which one was stronger, the superpowers or the ability called magnetic field rotation.

"But...but that's Mr. Roland, isn't he the prototype and starting point of this power? How can a powerless person like me catch up with someone like Misaka-senpai..."

"Of course he can catch up. Although what you said is not wrong, you don't think that he used all his strength when facing Misaka, do you? Misaka-san looks very unconvinced. How about giving it a try?"

Shokuhou Misaki raised her hand, gently placed her slender index finger on her chin, and a mischievous smile appeared on her face.

Her eyes, shining like stars, were full of teasing.

"What a boring provocation."

Misaka Mikoto took a deep breath and glared at Shokuhou Misaki fiercely.

But even though she said disdainfully, her eager eyes betrayed her true thoughts.

Although on the surface, she looks like just a weak girl.

But as the swirling electric sparks continued to spread over the girl's body, everyone could only see her fierce fighting spirit.

"sister……"

Shirai Kuroko seemed to sense something was wrong and was about to say something when she was pulled aside by the excited Saten Ruiko and Hatsuharu Shikiri.

"Shirai-san, let's move away! Hmm, fighting in front of us, the discipline committee members, is too much... But does this seem to be part of the research project?"

"This is a battle between people with super powers. Just for this experience, today's trip is worth it!"

Where did you come from, bloodthirsty viewers? Why do you want to see a fight between superpowers so badly?

The corner of Shirai Kuroko's mouth twitched, and just when he was about to say something, he saw the stars in the eyes of the two girls.

The girl's face changed slightly.

Manipulated? No, this kind of free movement and normal tone of voice cannot be easily imitated.

"Don't worry, Shirai-san. I wouldn't do such a bad thing as manipulating someone I just met for the first time unless it was necessary. I just slightly exaggerated their true thoughts."

Shokuhou Misaki said with a smile.

"How about being a little more tolerant sometimes? Misaka-san has been teased enough by you all the time."

Looking at Shokuhou Misaki who was in a playful mood, Roland ruffled the girl's hair and smiled bitterly.

Faced with such a statement that seemed to be a tacit agreement, Misaka Mikoto slowly narrowed her eyes.

"There should be a special area for fighting here, right?"

"Of course, but Misaka-san, you still love fighting, even though you lost so badly last time."

Roland whispered, with an interested smile on his face.

"Well, let me teach you again.
——Even if they have the same type of abilities, there are still differences. "
