Comprehensive: Beginning with the Killer Queen

Chapter 431 Roland: Do big things, do big things!

"I will definitely be the winner!"

In the specially designed training ground, Misaka Mikoto smiled.

The blue and white electric light swayed and bloomed on the girl's body like ice flowers.

When the petals bloomed, the halo that diffused like water flow danced lightly, causing a morbid blush to spread over the girl's body.

But Roland just looked at her with a smile and waved gently without making any response to this provocation.

This silent contempt made Misaka Mikoto's pretty face turn red with anger again.

But soon, she put these unnecessary emotions behind her and focused all her attention on Roland in front of her.

Even if there is no weapon on the opponent.

Even his standing posture was very casual, and his slightly clasped hands seemed to be his only preparation for this battle.

But she could clearly sense that an indescribable terror was emanating from Roland.

Here it is again...

Misaka Mikoto frowned.

It was the same last time. She didn't figure out Roland's killer move until she failed.

Because the nature of their abilities conflicted greatly, the Railgun was renamed from the electric shock that generates and manipulates electromagnetic phenomena to LEVEL5.

When using abilities, one will inevitably be affected by the natural electric field, along with all magnetic fields and electromagnetic information.

The superpower called magnetic field rotation, which is completely different from AIM's position, is the best in this area.

Whether it was her usual iron sand sword or lightning spear, there was no difference in front of Roland, and each time they would be directly defeated in just the right way.

Her ability seemed to be completely ineffective against Roland, a fact that even Misaka Mikoto herself found ridiculous.

But, facts are facts.

After the abilities he was proud of were shattered, he was easily crushed both physically and technically, and suffered an indisputable defeat in the face-off.

Therefore, this time we must avenge our previous shame.

Misaka Mikoto narrowed her eyes, and the sharpness in her pupils became more and more obvious, like a long sword slowly revealing its edge.

…It felt like she had completely misunderstood.

Looking at Misaka Mikoto who was full of fighting spirit, Roland sighed silently.

Even for Roland, who had only watched the anime, it was easy for him to be impressed by Misaka Mikoto's competitive personality.

Therefore, when they first met, out of consideration for the Dream Maker Project, he deliberately used his absolute strength to completely crush the girl's hostility.

The purpose is to make the other party understand the difference in power, so that they can fall into the trap and come to the door on their own initiative.

But it was obvious that in Misaka Mikoto's eyes, the meaning of this matter was completely different from what Roland thought.

Her competitive spirit comes more from unwillingness than from a desire to fight.

Just like a childish child who would even cheat in order to deny the fact that he lost, although Misaka Mikoto didn't go to such an extent, the nature of her actions was not much different.

Being suppressed by an ability of the same nature, Misaka Mikoto, who had just reached level 5, naturally regarded Roland's behavior as a provocation.

The degree of development of her abilities is definitely not low, but judging from her expressiveness, it is only mediocre at best.

It would be fine if he was just a low-level electric shock user, but when it comes to the level of superpowers, it has clearly begun to involve the field of the four basic forces.

She still has more potential that has not been tapped. Given this fact, it is not surprising that the proud girl would feel unwilling.

The most important thing is that Shokuhou Misaki's knowledge of magnetic field rotation in addition to psychological control has further strengthened Misaka Mikoto's understanding.

Since even Shokuhou Misaki, who has always been at odds with her, can do this, it is even more impossible for her to give in.

Although Roland was not found, during this year's research project, Misaka Mikoto significantly increased her combat training and consciously strengthened her control over her abilities.

Therefore, although she admitted that she had no chance of winning against Roland a year ago.

but now--

"There are too many flaws!"

Just halfway through the charge, Bilibili's electric sparks spread out like sprouting roots.

But unlike the electric guns that usually climbed towards the outside world, the strands of electric arcs were firmly bound to the surface of Misaka Mikoto's body.

In just a moment, Misaka Mikoto's figure accelerated again, like a roaring thunder, with a swift speed and a blowing strong wind, shooting towards Roland in a dazzling arc!

The next moment, a white and slender fist shadow quickly enlarged in Roland's field of vision!
"Bam—!"

Misaka Mikoto's fist collided firmly with Roland's palm, causing the vibrating atmosphere to create layers of huge sound waves.

"Electric current... No, you generated a formula inside your body to stimulate it so that you can gain physical qualities far beyond normal?"

"Humph,"

Although Misaka Mikoto was a little unhappy that Roland saw through the principle at a glance, she still had a hint of pride and pleasure in her eyes when she saw that her past efforts were not in vain.

Although she had no idea how to deal with Roland at first, the fact that Shokuhou Misaki had transformed from a physically weak person to a nimble person who could even dodge electric shocks gave the girl plenty of inspiration.

Since the influence of her AIM stance on the external environment will be invalidated by the other party's ability to manipulate magnetic fields, it only negates the interference with the outside world.

As long as you use the electromagnetic barrier created by your own life activities as a boundary and expand your abilities within the body, you can still use it to improve your physical fitness.

This is how she fights.

The fact that it has always maintained its third place in terms of research value shows that the ability of the Railgun is highly malleable.

If such subtle operations as hacking by reading electrical signals are possible, using bioelectricity to manipulate the body is certainly no problem.

"Even if there are no so-called dream creators, among the same type of abilities," Misaka Mikoto looked directly at Roland and said word by word.

"——I will never lose to anyone!"

The corners of the girl's mouth still rose unconsciously, and she looked at Roland expectantly, wanting to see what kind of expression he would show when he saw her now that was completely different from before.

However, as Misaka Mikoto expected, the other party neither showed an embarrassed expression of shock nor lost her composure.

On the contrary, there was only admiration on his face.

But because she was so close, Misaka Mikoto could clearly perceive that this admiration was definitely not the kind of admiration that was aroused by the desire to fight because of encountering a strong enemy.

It is more like the joy that parents feel when they see their children study hard and get good grades without any supervision, or the joy that fruit farmers feel when they see the fruits they have carefully cultivated yield a good harvest.

Strange...I should have only met this guy twice in total, right?
"It's great that you think this way." Roland replied calmly, "I'm very pleased, Misaka-san, that you can make such a breakthrough even without accepting the Dream Maker, so I'll play with you for a while."

"Hmm..." Misaka Mikoto was choked by this indifferent attitude and frowned.

"I'm already standing at the same starting line as you. Don't you understand yet? My ability allows me to gain physical fitness beyond my limits. If you are so careless, you will definitely lose..."

"A physical fitness that exceeds the limit, that is to say, this strength still has a limit because of the flesh, right?"

Roland interrupted Misaka Mikoto with a smile.

"——Then where do you get the confidence to compete with me?"

Roland, who looked like a polite older brother one second ago, completely changed the next second.

After the disguise was torn off, the ferocious aura came towards him like a ferocious beast ready to devour its prey.

Forced to face this madness, Misaka Mikoto turned pale and almost stepped back.

But one person stopped her. "How...how is it possible..."

Roland held her fist tightly in his hand, unable to move, and she could not even overturn a car in her previous experiments.

No matter how much strength I put in, it remained unmoved.

Beads of sweat appeared on the girl's smooth forehead and slid down bit by bit.

"The so-called magnetic field rotation is a force beyond common sense. What it can do depends only on the imagination and determination of the user."

Roland said with a chuckle.

"Therefore, Misaka-san, when you think you can surpass me through hard work, defeat is your inevitable outcome."

"If you are still trapped by the fact that the body has its limits and is bound by the laws of physics, how can you call it a superpower? Foolish prejudice is more disappointing than weakness."

"Besides, didn't I tell you before? There are differences in abilities of the same type."

Roland wrapped around Misaka Mikoto's fist, separated it with strong force, and then interlocked her fingers without hesitation.

With this action, he pressed down the girl's shoulders, forcing her to lift her head and look directly into his eyes.

Even without looking, Roland knew that at this moment, there must be only chilling malice left in his pupils.

"Or maybe it was because I was too subtle at the time that you didn't understand."

——Since we failed the first time, let’s make up for it all based on the last time.

He wanted to use his despair and unforgettable strength to make the girl remember this day forever.

"Then I'll be frank."

——In the future, when Misaka Mikoto wants to seek power and become stronger, she will blindly ignore everything else and only have this power in her eyes.

Roland leaned slightly closer to the girl's earlobe and whispered.

"What's your superpower? What's my superpower?"

Misaka Mikoto opened her mouth, then gritted her teeth, and her entire body was completely covered by the electric arc.

Such a huge gap makes the former proud self seem like those ignorant bad boys who once surrounded him on the street.

Has she been playing this role in front of Roland all this time?

Thinking of this, the girl's anger burned even more fiercely in her chest.

She hooked her finger, and the blue and white electric light began to spread along her other arm, adding a bit of burning smell to the air.

Then the next second, Roland grabbed her other hand and lifted her up as if he was stretching a cat.

And the moment he touched Misaka Mikoto's arm, the dazzling electric light suddenly went out with a "puff".

So, with both wrists grabbed and lifted up, Misaka Mikoto had to stand on tiptoes to keep her balance because of the height difference.

But such an unstable fulcrum could not support her legs at all, and they continued to tremble under the influence of instinct.

But even so, Misaka Mikoto refused to admit defeat and stared at Roland.

With Roland's thick skin, being glared at by the pretty girl with a fierce expression was naturally harmless.

He was even able to control Misaka Mikoto's wrists with one hand with ease, while using his other free hand to skillfully reach out for the girl's still struggling and kicking legs.

Then, he held it neatly in his hand.

"Ah ah--!"

Misaka Mikoto screamed.

It would have been fine if it was just her arms, but as her legs were also controlled, her face was already flushed and she didn't care about shame anymore.

Even though she was wearing safety pants, the intimacy of this action was already beyond the norm for a young girl.

But before she could admit defeat, another sound of gnashing teeth, or rather envy and jealousy, came from her.

"Let go of Onee-sama! Even Kuroko has never touched Onee-sama's legs!"

Shirai Kuroko's figure suddenly appeared in the center of the battlefield, and then, without hesitation, she hugged Misaka Mikoto's legs.

"Onee-sama, Kuroko will save you from this pervert right now..."

But as they held each other, even though Roland had already let go, Shirai Kuroko still had no intention of releasing him, and even locked her even more tightly than Roland had before.

For a moment, Misaka Mikoto couldn't even tell who was the one who trapped her.

"I have unlocked the blockade of the surrounding magnetic field."

Roland added suddenly.

Needless to say, the moment she heard these words, Misaka Mikoto shifted her gaze to Shirai Kuroko, who had cold sweat on her forehead and an innocent look on her face.

"Um... Sister, I can explain..."

"You're the pervert, right?"

The next moment, the blazing white electric current drowned out her explanation and screams.

"Thank you very much!"

Misaka Mikoto looked at Roland with some gratitude.

"It's okay. After all, you, Misaka-san, are also a key figure that the Dream Makers project has been inviting... Has this battle changed your opinion of this device a little?"

Roland smiled slightly and stared at Misaka Mikoto.

"There is still a fundamental difference between the ability of another field and the alternative use of a single ability, right? With your qualities, Misaka-san, you will make rapid progress after installing the Dream Maker."

"Install...Dream Maker?"

Because her original intention was just to accompany her, Misaka Mikoto never thought that she would suddenly receive an invitation.

But compared to her complacent refusal in the first half of the year when she was just assessed as a person with super powers, her aversion to the device has indeed eased a lot after experiencing this battle.

There is already the example of Shokuhou Misaki, and for Misaka Mikoto, who is obsessed with becoming strong, this power from heaven is naturally a temptation.

"But……"

A hint of confusion flashed in the girl's eyes.

"There's nothing wrong with it. There's nothing wrong with strength itself. When the day comes when you really need strength, it will be too late to regret it."

Roland's slightly malicious voice, like a ruthless coercion or a devil's temptation, rang in Misaka Mikoto's ears.

"Aren't you determined not to lose to anyone? Misaka-san, when it comes to doing big things, there's no room for mercy."

For a moment, as if infected by Roland's words, Misaka Mikoto opened her mouth, with obvious hesitation on her face.

"Before that..."

Finally, she raised her head.

The girl's clear eyes were filled with complicated emotions. Because of her overly intense emotions, tears welled up in her eyes, shining with a sparkling watery light.

Her voice trembled slightly.

"——Put me down first!"
