Comprehensive: Beginning with the Killer Queen

Disciplinary Committee Office.

The middle school student named Misaka Mikoto, who is one of the seven people with super powers and is respected by all the students as the Electric Princess of Tokiwadai, is sitting across from the desk with a serious face.

That handsome face was now full of seriousness and solemnity.

As a person with super powers who has a bright future, coupled with her experience of becoming famous at a young age, her steady performance can easily make people have a label like "serious" as their first impression of her.

But only those who are familiar with her know that this is proof that Misaka Mikoto is distracted.

Although she is a true top student, compared to the traditional impression of a young lady, Misaka Mikoto is quite easy-going in her daily interactions.

She does not discriminate against classmates, juniors, or admirers from other schools based on their status.

But because of this, if you don't show the qualities that can actively win the girl's recognition, you will not be able to transcend this relationship and become her true friend.

Therefore, despite her high popularity, this character also prevented her from establishing her own faction and power. She has always acted as a free person and does not have many real friends, let alone lovers...

In the past, Misaka Mikoto didn't think there was anything wrong with this attitude, and she even enjoyed it.

Her humble character doesn’t mean she isn’t proud of her achievements and experiences, and she also has certain requirements for the friends she recognizes.

But because she is not good at being honest about her feelings, it is better to use this method to build friendships that are not many but are firm and unwavering.

However, just like people’s way of thinking always changes and grows due to their experiences.

Although Misaka Mikoto still does not intend to change this style, after experiencing setbacks and then being rescued, her heart inevitably undergoes some changes compared to before.

It was as if some strange emotion had sprouted in my heart.

The power of the magnetic field, Roland, and the urban legend that he had laughed at...

"Cough cough..."

Shirai Kuroko coughed twice and looked at the dazed Misaka Mikoto suspiciously.

She knew very well what kind of personality Misaka Mikoto had.

He is very competitive, impatient, and has strong self-confidence in his actions.

But Misaka Mikoto, who is usually very reliable, has been distracted during conversations more than once recently.

The number of times exceeded the total number of times she remembered him being in a daze.

"sister?"

"Sorry, Kuroko, I was distracted!"

After being called by name, Misaka Mikoto came to her senses and apologized sheepishly.

"It doesn't matter. After all, my sister was doing voluntary labor." Shirai Kuroko waved her hand. "We should be ashamed. It was clearly a task that the discipline committee members should do, but we pushed it to you without authorization."

"After all, you are short-handed, and I can't just sit back and watch those guys do whatever they want."

When this matter was mentioned, Misaka Mikoto sighed helplessly.

Ever since the Fantasy Hand incident ended, the arrival of a new era has become a consensus among the public.

Starting from the disaster star that spanned the entire Academy City, just when people were in panic, a stream of light rose straight up from the center of the Academy City and quickly turned it into a global spectacle like fireworks.

——This is not a metaphor at all.

Because the moving trajectory of that stream of light alone spanned the entire equator.

A clear trail was left from the Antarctic Circle to the Arctic Circle and even throughout the Earth's stratosphere.

If this chaotic phenomenon could be barely explained by national public opinion, this naive idea was immediately shelved after the aftermath of the stream of light shattered more than 30% of the moon.

Misaka Mikoto also saw the current appearance of the moon in the news at that time.

It was like a greedy child scooping a big spoonful of pudding.

Such a vivid picture allows all countries to understand what the consequences would be if that stream of light fell on their territory.

For a time, the Academy City threat theory instantly occupied the mainstream reports of all countries and all media.

Most people believed that this was a sign that Academy City's ambitions could no longer be contained, and that it was attempting to shock the world in this way.

Others were much calmer, believing that it was most likely that Academy City's super weapon had gotten out of control. After all, even if the city was not satisfied with its current status, there was no need to push the world against itself.

But no matter what the truth is, a tense atmosphere has begun to spread in the world.

The reason why it has not yet completely broken out is simply because the countries are still fighting over their internal affairs.

The earthquake that started in the island country has radiated to multiple plates, and volcanoes around the world are showing signs of reviving and beginning to erupt.

The chaotic gravity caused by the explosion of 30% of the moon caused a tsunami to sweep across the world, and due to the surge in meteorite fragments and emitted electromagnetic waves in low-Earth orbit, international flights were also suspended on a large scale.

And in such a chaotic situation, something even worse happened.

It seems that due to the disorder of the magnetic field environment, another force originating from the human body, independent of magic and superpowers, called magnetic field rotation, has begun to emerge.

Because of the initial impact of environmental changes, there are not many people with this ability, and the number is insignificant compared to the total global population, but it still caused a lot of unrest.

On the one hand, this is because once this power is awakened, it has the ability to ignore conventional weapons.

On the other hand, compared to Academy City, where ability development requires specific courses and basic identity verification, this power analogous to the rough stone is a gift from heaven.

Not everyone has the temperament to control it. In addition, the special nature of the urban environment makes it impossible to resolve the issue with strategic weapons. The higher the combat power of individual soldiers is required, the more riots there are.

The Blue Dream Company, fearing that the world would not be in chaos, added fuel to the fire and proactively announced many of its studies on magnetic field rotation and promoted its own products.

This directly ignited the ambitions of many rioters who had originally intended to obey the authorities.

Under such circumstances, almost no country can spare the time to take any substantial action against Academy City, as they are all busy stabilizing their internal environment.

Compared to them, Academy City, which was hit hardest by the disaster, is much more stable.

Although it is the place with the greatest influence of Blue Dream Company, the number of people who have awakened the power of magnetic field here is even more than the total of many countries.

But most people were already part of Blue Dream before the environment changed.

As for those wild awakeners, since they are basically students who have not yet entered society, even if some of them have bad intentions, they cannot escape the pursuit of the Disciplinary Committee. Every time a riot breaks out, Tieniao Yafei, who has replaced the duties of the guard, will come to control the criminals.

Apart from the Discipline Committee members who were too busy with too many events, Academy City could be said to be peaceful at the moment. Some school districts had already cleaned up the ruins and started to resume their schedules.

"That's not what I'm talking about..." Shirai Kuroko stared into Misaka Mikoto's eyes, "Onee-sama has also gained magnetic field power, and it's much more powerful than those criminals who need to be propelled by electric current."

Although the magnetic field is strong, it does not mean that you can ignore those with super powers just because you have it.

Even though Kimura Haruo had linked up with the Fantasy Hand, he was still being suppressed by Misaka Mikoto who was holding back. He did not dare to directly expose the power of the magnetic field, but had to wait for the right opportunity to launch a sneak attack to settle the matter.

Because she knew that if she didn't do this, she might be defeated in a head-on confrontation.

"Therefore, I don't think that those guys who get angry because they have power will bother Onee-sama so much. After all, we have already seen such people when we were fantasizing about the hand."

Shirai Kuroko said seriously.

"So, did the conversation with Ms. Kiyama the other day give you some ideas?"

"……Yes."

After a moment's silence, Misaka Mikoto nodded.

Although that may be just one-sided, she is not really stupid.

After having already noticed the dark side of Academy City, and the fact that Haruo Kimura was bailed out by Blue Dream Company because of her research results, this is enough to prove a lot of things.

"I found that I might have made some mistakes in the past... So, I've been worrying about whether I should look deeper into those mistakes." Misaka Mikoto smiled bitterly, looking quite frank.

"I am both afraid that there is no chance to make up for my mistake, and I am also afraid that the chance still exists today."

Misaka Mikoto whispered.

...Because if it's the latter, even if I start to atone for my sins from now on, would it be just a way to close the fold after the horse has bolted?

"No matter what, I will stand on onee-sama's side!"

Looking at Misaka Mikoto who was hesitant to speak, Shirai Kuroko didn't ask any more questions, but just spoke seriously.

"Thank you, Kuroko." However, this statement made Misaka Mikoto look determined.

"Don't worry, I'm fine. I'm just too tired lately and have some random thoughts. Ah...Quatai's new doll is coming out today, so I'm leaving first!"

After saying hello, Misaka Mikoto left the discipline committee's office without hesitation.

"How can I feel at ease with this look?"

Shirai Kuroko sighed, feeling somewhat helpless.

If possible, she really hopes that her elder sister can rely on her a little more, but, it should be okay, right?
After the power of the magnetic field manifested, Misaka Mikoto always went to Blue Dream Company. While cooperating with the tests, she seemed to have established connections with many people there through Ruiko.

For example, a Mr. Luo whose name she did not want to reveal.

If you think about it, this isn't surprising.

As the leader of Lanmeng Company and with great power, he saved them from danger.

Even though Misaka Mikoto had an unwavering belief in her, her attitude towards that guy softened a lot after this series of attacks, not to mention Misaka Mikoto who had never been in a relationship before.

Could it be that……

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Shirai Kuroko's face flushed red as he whispered through gritted teeth.

Her elder sister would never fall into that guy's clutches!
"Onee-sama, Kuroko will come to save you soon!"

Shirai Kuroko patted his chest and made bold statements in his heart, but after seeing the mountain of documents in front of him, the momentum that had just been ignited instantly waned.

"Well, after these reports are finished...soon, probably."

----

Roland suddenly stopped and looked up at the noisy road where some shops were still under renovation.

Not far down the road, a chestnut-haired girl wearing the Tokiwadai school uniform and a Kuatai hairpin appeared.

"Misaka-san? What a coincidence, are you going to Blue Dream Company?"

He could also greet loudly in a familiar tone with a warm smile, as if he had met an old friend after a long absence.

Seeing this scene, a hint of imperceptible doubt flashed in the eyes of Shokuhou Misaki beside him.

——Especially when he noticed Misaka Mikoto's strange reaction, because she suddenly heard Roland's voice, her body couldn't help but tremble slightly even with her head down.

The doubts that were already overflowing in her eyes, which were sparkling with stars, instantly turned into vigilance.

It was bad enough to meet a light bulb on a date, and Roland was fine. He never cared much about the distance between him and others.

But the situation of Misaka Mikoto is very strange. As a recognized enemy of Tokiwadai, Shokuhou Misaki is well aware that Misaka Mikoto is actually quite innocent.

...But this reaction is exactly the same as that of Maizono Shenli back then, and Miss Kimiya Haruo recently... No, it's exactly the same, right?

A subtle premonition arose in Shokuhou Misaki's heart.

What was going on? Had Roland done something irreversible to her?

However, Shokuhou Misaki quickly rejected this highly credible idea.

It's not that she has confidence in Roland's moral integrity. When facing a beautiful girl who suits his taste, Roland spends most of his time wandering on the line between scum and bastard.

However, due to the recent chaos and the sudden increase in power, most of the members of Lanmeng Company have been busy on field trips, so she, who is in charge of business work, has spent more time with Roland.

Being able to find time to deal with a troublesome girl like Misaka Mikoto while exercising non-stop, this kind of time management can be called a superpower, right?
Moreover, although Roland's principles in this regard are without any bottom line, he will not hide it at all.

At this time, Roland had already taken the initiative to walk towards Misaka Mikoto, and Shokuhou Misaki narrowed her eyes and followed.

Seeing this scene, Misaka Mikoto's body also froze.

This was not out of any amorous feelings or shame or fear.

If one had to sum up her inner emotions at the moment, they could only be described as surprise and guilt.

She had just made up her mind to secretly spy on Academy City's plan through Blue Dream Company's computer when she ran into the real owner.

Even though she was determined to get the truth even if it violated the laws of Academy City, she was not a hard-hearted criminal after all, not to mention that Roland actually did her a favor.

This absent-minded behavior was the result of her using all her strength to restrain herself.

Although she was not able to receive development before the environment changed, and thus did not gain any accumulation of a sudden increase in her power, she was able to get started due to the special nature of the ability of the Railgun.

However, due to the high compatibility between her abilities and the rotation of the magnetic field, she still performs far better than anyone else in this regard.

Don't think too much, don't think too much...

Misaka Mikoto took a deep breath and completely emptied her mind to prevent these thoughts from being accidentally captured.

She didn't know yet, not to mention that Roland's power was no longer what it used to be. Even for the previous Roland, this level of concealment was not worth mentioning.

Almost the moment he saw Misaka Mikoto, her violently fluctuating emotions had already forced Roland to read her plan.

However, Roland certainly wouldn't be so unromantic.

He just walked up to Misaka Mikoto and waved with a smile.

"I heard that you have been doing very well in the Discipline Committee recently and have helped us a lot."

"Compared to the help you've given me, it's nothing. There's no need to thank me."

Misaka Mikoto waved her hand nonchalantly, looking as if nothing had happened.

"It's really rare that Misaka-san would be so frank in thanking you."

Shokuhou Misaki, who was standing behind Roland, also came out, a wicked smile appearing on her pretty fair face.

Although their relationship is no longer as confrontational as when they first entered school, the issue of their ability compatibility still makes her habitually tease each other.

"You are so alert and don't want to meet me. Are you hiding some secret?"

"Well……"

The smile on Misaka Mikoto's face disappeared immediately after her sore spot was touched.

"Hey, is that true?"

Seeing this result, it was Shokuhou Misaki who was stunned. She blinked her eyes, looking incredulous.

"That impatient Misaka-san actually has a secret she wants to hide. Did she finally change the style of her underwear to something more mature, or did she develop a crush on someone..."

"What are you thinking? And whose underwear style is childish? It's weird for a middle school student to wear something so mature!"

Although she kept telling herself to stay calm, Misaka Mikoto was still so angry that she jumped up and down, and her originally tense expression was broken.

She bit her moist lower lip and snorted coldly in response to the situation.

"I just don't want to be read by powerful people like you. There's nothing weird about that."

Seeing Shokuhou Misaki snorted coldly and stopped talking, Misaka Mikoto also breathed a sigh of relief.

Although she still has prejudices against Shokuhou Misaki, she is more or less aware that when others show obvious resistance, she will not read other people's minds for her own selfish desires.

Very good, as long as this woman doesn't let her electromagnetic barrier collapse because of the intention to deliberately tease, there is no need to worry about accidentally revealing her true feelings.

Roland was not the kind of guy who would take the initiative to pry into other people's hearts.

Misaka Mikoto was secretly pleased with herself, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly. Just as she was about to end the topic and leave...

"So this is what Misaka-san has been worrying about. Isn't this something that can be easily solved?"

Roland looked at Misaka Mikoto with a smile, a hint of amusement in his eyes.

"I was just planning to test the anti-mind-reading function of the latest Dream Creator, and you just happened to have an empty head. Tell me, how could such a coincidence happen in this world?"

Misaka Mikoto opened her mouth and her pupils froze.

"Eh?" (End of this chapter)
