“Well, Kiyama-sensei, could you tell me the details, like the car model and color?
I can use the nearby security cameras to look for it,” Uiharu Kazari said as she took out her laptop and turned it on.
However, Harumi Kiyama’s lazy eyes trembled slightly when she heard the word “sensei.” A trace of hidden sadness passed through her eyes for a moment.
“Sensei, huh?” Harumi Kiyama looked at Uiharu Kazari with a complicated expression.
“Oh, I’m sorry.
I’m just used to saying that.
It slipped out…” Uiharu Kazari thought she might have bothered her.
She rubbed her hands together anxiously, looking flustered and embarrassed.
“No, it’s fine.
I used to be a teacher too, even if I wasn’t a very good one.” Harumi Kiyama gave a self-mocking laugh, which only made the atmosphere more awkward.
“AIM diffusion fields?
Isn’t that…” Mikoto Misaka suddenly remembered what Tsukasa had said before and glanced at him.
“An AIM diffusion field is the faint power an esper releases in all directions without noticing it.” Tsukasa spoke with a faint smile.
“On its own, it’s so weak that it can almost be ignored.” “But when you add together the AIM diffusion fields of 2.3 million espers in Academy City, that’s no longer something you can ignore.” “It seems this gentleman knows quite a bit about AIM diffusion fields.” Harumi Kiyama looked at Tsukasa with surprise.
There was a trace of curiosity in her eyes.
“I wouldn’t say I know that much.” “I just happen to know where those AIM diffusion fields end up being used.” Tsukasa answered in a casual tone.
That answer made Harumi Kiyama’s pupils shrink.
Shock flashed across her face for an instant, but she quickly returned to her usual lazy expression.
Tsukasa noticed the change too.
He gave a soft laugh and shook his head.
The “effect” he meant was not the Level Upper plan Harumi Kiyama was working on.
He was talking about Aleister’s larger plan to spread AIM diffusion fields across the whole world and erase the existence of magic.
“…” Mikoto Misaka stayed silent.
She had no intention of asking Tsukasa right now why the Misaka clones were being sent all over the world.
After everything that had happened with the Level 6 Shift Project, she had become calmer.
Now she could stop and think things through on her own.
Just from Tsukasa’s earlier explanation, she could already tell how terrifying the Board Chairman’s plan was.
It was something that stretched across the entire world.
She couldn’t help wondering how much calculation it would take to work her childhood act of handing over her DNA map into a plan like that.
The more she thought about it, the more a chill crept over her.
“There’s a car here that matches Kiyama-sensei’s description.
Could you take a look and see if this is it?” After a short while, Uiharu Kazari found a vehicle that matched what Harumi Kiyama had described.
She turned the laptop toward her and asked.
“Ah, yes, that’s the one.
You’re really amazing.” Harumi Kiyama checked it and nodded with a smile.
“It’s…
it’s nothing…
hahaha~” Getting praised by an adult made Uiharu Kazari wave her hands shyly.
The blush on her cheeks made it plain that she was happy.
After a bit more effort, they finally brought Harumi Kiyama to the parking lot.
Sitting in her Lamborghini, she thanked everyone.
“Thank you for your help.
Well then, goodbye.” Watching the car drive away, Mikoto Misaka said blankly, “She really is a strange person.” “The legend says that after you meet a stripping woman, you might get cursed!” “You might end up taking your clothes off in the street just like her!?” Ruiko Saten spoke up right after Harumi Kiyama left.
That made everyone look at each other.
“Stop talking nonsense.
She’s just a researcher with a habit of stripping.
What does that have to do with a curse?” Kuroko Shirai said with an annoyed look.
“What are you talking about?” Tsukasa raised an eyebrow, sounding confused.
“It’s an urban legend.
Oh, right!
Mr.
Tsukasa, is it true that you really defeated Academy City’s number one esper, Accelerator!?” Uiharu Kazari explained first, but then she suddenly remembered what Mikoto Misaka had mentioned earlier.
She immediately looked excited and asked Tsukasa.
“Yes, yes!
Is it true, Mr.
Tsukasa!?” Ruiko Saten snapped out of it as well.
She should have asked sooner, but Harumi Kiyama’s shocking behavior had interrupted everything.
Seeing the two girls staring at him with sparkling eyes, Tsukasa felt a drop of cold sweat roll down his forehead.
He glanced at Mikoto Misaka, only to find her whistling and looking away with a guilty expression on her red face.
Tsukasa laughed and shook his head.
Then he looked at the two girls and gave a slight nod.
“Yes.
I did defeat Accelerator.” “That’s amazing!?” The two girls cried out together.
Their eyes lit up even more.
They had never expected that the strongest person in Academy City was standing right in front of them.
“Why did you fight Accelerator?” Kuroko Shirai asked.
She cared more about that part.
“Why?
Ask your Onee-sama.” Tsukasa’s lips curled into a smile as he casually pointed at Mikoto Misaka and tossed the problem to her.
The other three immediately turned to look at Mikoto Misaka.
They were all interested in the answer.
“That…
well…
I…
ahahaha~” Mikoto Misaka had no way to explain it to them.
If they learned about the Level 6 Shift Project and the Railgun clone project, she didn’t know whether they could still go on living their peaceful daily lives after being exposed to Academy City’s dark side.
Her face turned red from worry.
That immediately set off Kuroko Shirai’s internal alarm.
In her imagination, a dramatic love triangle appeared.
Tsukasa and Accelerator had leveled an entire district fighting over Mikoto Misaka.
In the end, Tsukasa had won.
The moment Kuroko Shirai imagined Mikoto Misaka kissing Tsukasa sweetly, she broke down again and screamed.
“No!
Onee-sama!?
Please don’t abandon Kuroko!?
I…” Everyone fell silent as they watched Kuroko Shirai suddenly lose it and start slamming her head against the ground.
“Her iron-head technique is pretty well-trained.” Tsukasa joked.
Ever since he met Kuroko Shirai, he felt like she lost control almost every time.
The three girls all shot Tsukasa a look, then quickly rushed over to stop Kuroko Shirai from hurting herself.
“Wait, but if Mr.
Tsukasa defeated Accelerator, why didn’t you become number one?” Ruiko Saten asked after catching an important detail.
“Who knows.
Maybe it’s because I’m not an esper.” “Or maybe it’s because I blew up the Board Chairman’s office building a little while ago~” Tsukasa spread his hands as if none of it mattered.
He didn’t care about the number one position.
That sort of thing was just about fame and profit.
He had no interest in fame.
As for money, someone who could pull out an endless amount from his system would only see it as a number.
“Blew up the Board Chairman’s office building?!
Is…
is that the windowless building?” Uiharu Kazari asked nervously after swallowing.
“Yes.” “…” Another long silence followed.
No one knew what to say.
Strictly speaking, the person standing in front of them could be called a terrorist in Academy City.
But if he had the power to defeat Accelerator, who would dare try to arrest him?
Even someone as iron-headed as Kuroko Shirai would not be reckless enough to go after Tsukasa.
“Wait, did Mr.
Tsukasa just say he isn’t an esper?” Ruiko Saten caught that part right away.
She asked with curiosity, mixed with a strange kind of hope.
“Heh, that’s right.
I’m a jujutsu sorcerer…” Tsukasa then gave them a simple explanation of the basic common sense behind jujutsu sorcerers and cursed energy.
For the girls, it was like a whole new door had opened in front of them.
