"I can't believe you were the mastermind. Release my friend immediately."
Successfully stopping Harusheng, who was speeding down the highway in the original work, Mikoto said angrily. Anti-Skill officers blocking the road opposite Harusheng also held tranquilizer guns, aiming at Harusheng.
"So fast. As expected, spatial abilities are so arbitrary."
After learning the Heavenly Dynasty language from Yowane and understanding its meaning, Harusheng felt that this phrase was perfect for the current situation.
"For Ruiko's revenge, and for Haruue, whom you've tied in the car, prepare yourself! I'm going to teach you a good lesson."
Blue and white electric sparks flashed on her forehead. At this moment, Mikoto only wanted to vent her anger. She pushed away Kuroko, who wanted to intervene in the battle, telling Kuroko to rescue Haruue. She herself clenched her fists, ignoring Eisou's pleas to leave, and walked step by step towards Harusheng. In her mind, a researcher like Harusheng, who hadn't undergone ability development, could be captured alive and unharmed with just a slight'shock'.
"So confident!"
Harusheng calmly watched Mikoto approach. Although she said this silently, one of her eyes slowly turned red during her speech.
Mikoto suddenly felt danger and leaped to the other side of the road. Her decision proved correct, as the spot where she had been standing exploded, creating a one-meter hole.
"You're an esper? The records didn't say you had any ability development!"
Mikoto looked at Harusheng in surprise. Before leaving, she had thoroughly checked her information, and there was clearly no record of ability development. What was going on?
"What's wrong? Are you surprised by this?"
Harusheng smiled as she looked at Mikoto, who resembled a startled cat, as if she were merely playing with a child.
"Damn it."
Mikoto, believing Harusheng was mocking her, instantly became furious. Electric sparks flashed around her, strengthening herself. Using magnetism, she quickly ran towards Harusheng, but in the next moment, she was slapped in the face by various bizarre abilities.
"A multi-ability user? That kind of esper that shouldn't exist?"
"No, it should be called a 'Talent User'."
Correcting Mikoto's misunderstanding like a good friend, Harusheng began her explanation.
While they were fighting fiercely, on the wall of the distant nuclear power plant, Yowane stood completely unafraid of exposure, watching the dazzling ability battle on the battlefield.
"The live version is better. The anime only showed a few abilities, but here, the abilities of ten thousand people are gathered. Indeed, you can't mix anime and reality."
"Eisou-nee, you've worked hard."
Yowane, who was watching the show, saw Mikoto clearly in a tough fight. Of course, she already knew Mikoto's thoughts. If Mikoto had gone all out from the beginning, she might have been able to take down Harusheng in one go. However, Mikoto was afraid of hurting the other party; she didn't want to see any bloody battles. Otherwise, a 'Railgun' would have been fired long ago, and she wouldn't be so passive now. After getting used to one ability, a new one would pop up, which gave Mikoto a huge headache.
The reason she was only watching was because Harusheng was acting with restraint. The Anti-Skill officers on the highway only had minor scratches; there was nothing serious.
"Got you."
"Go to sleep."
After a series of explosions, the highway finally collapsed, and both of them fell below the highway. Mikoto, taking advantage of the smoke obscuring visibility, determined Harusheng's position based on her biological magnetic field, directly embraced and restrained her, then began to generate electricity throughout her body.
Through the current from their contact, Mikoto directly saw Harusheng's memories. Yowane, watching from a distance, pouted. Damn it! As expected of the protagonist's halo. Normally, it would be impossible to see these memories, but now, Harusheng's 'borrowed' AIM was directly connected by Mikoto through the current, and she happened to see Harusheng's most unforgettable memory.
"How could this be! Yowane is actually your student. She's a 'discarded child', and that experiment, she's the only survivor."
Mikoto looked at Harusheng, who was squatting on the ground, with an incredulous expression. She never expected to discover such a secret. No wonder Yowane's home had no 'father', only a Big Sister. It turned out that the mental particles on Yowane's head were not intentionally emitted by her, but a side effect of the experiment.
"Did you see? My memories. I have failed that child, and the students in a coma."
"So I must cure her, and the students in a coma."
"Even if I have to go against the whole world, I will cure them."
Clutching her head, which ached terribly from the electric current, Harusheng said with a ferocious expression.
"Why don't you hand it over to the higher-ups?"
Looking at Harusheng, who was staggering to her feet, Mikoto's face showed confusion, doubt, and disbelief. Having never encountered darkness, she was just a pure child now, completely unaware of the coldness of the dark side.
"Of course, I know that, and as long as we use the computing power of the 'Tree Diagram Designer,' they will definitely wake up."
"But it was rejected, 23 times in total, and each time it was rejected. They simply don't care whether these children live or die."
Harusheng, her sore spot poked by Mikoto's words, roared like a mother beast who had lost her young, her tone filled with helplessness, sadness, self-blame, and hatred.
"How could this be…"
Suddenly learning this 'truth,' Mikoto felt that this originally beautiful and warm city was so strange. Was this still the Academy City she knew?
"Do you think your ability development is truly safe? You are nothing more than a group of lab rats."
Frantically clutching her head, feeling herself losing control of the AIM Diffusion Field fluctuations, Harusheng sensed that something bad was about to happen.
"Ah~~! AIM Field… it's going out of control."
Clutching her head and lying on the ground, Harusheng's pained expression made Mikoto prepare to help, but the next moment, a blue, transparent, liquid-slime-like object slowly emerged from Harusheng's back. It grew larger and larger, floating in mid-air. In less than a minute, a blue, transparent, 'deformed giant infant' with a halo above its head appeared in mid-air.
"This is? A fetus."
"Awooo~~!"
Mikoto stared in horror at the 'deformed giant infant' before her. The next moment, a huge red eye slowly opened on its head. The eye 'looked' left and right, then let out a roar like a wild beast towards the sky.
"It's here. I've been waiting for you for a long time."
From afar, Yowane watched the appearance of the 'deformed giant infant,' a smile playing on her lips.
