After thinking it through, Mikoto abandoned the idea of striking down lightning directly, aware of the collateral impact.
She turned to Shokuhou Misaki. "How far does your ntal Out reach?"
"It's not ntal Out anymore."
Shokuhou propped herself up lazily. A glimr of data-like gold flickered in her starry eyes. From the nightstand, a cup of honey tea floated to her lips of its own accord.
"Now we should call it Mind Control~"
[Na]: Shokuhou Misaki
[Level]: 60
[Ability]: [Mind Control], [Rei Ao's Blessing]
She sipped, then licked away a tiny drop of honey at the corner of her mouth.
"My coverage is global. And if I factor in the Misaka Network's computation, I can issue countless commands simultaneously."
You see, everyone connected to Rei Ao is now part of the Misaka Network—and it's at an absurd level these days. 20,000 Misaka Sisters, each with Level 5-tier computing capacity. Even a dope without using the Misaka Network can ascend in power.
Noting Shokuhou's new strength, Mikoto pouted slightly. Sparks dancing at her fingertips turned plasma-like, scorching twisted lines in the air.
"Then I'll leave it to you,"
She transmitted the intel via the Misaka Network to Shokuhou. Shokuhou's laid-back expression turned a bit serious.
Back in the day, controlling large swaths of minds required her Exterior apparatus. Now it only needed a thought.
"Snap!"
She snapped her fingers at the empty air. Miles away, in so underground base, ard personnel suddenly dropped their weapons and started dancing a silly ballet.
"What are you two doing?"
A new voice rang out: Kanzaki Kaori erged wrapped in a towel, water dripping from her damp hair and a faint bluish holy glow clinging to it. Her Seven Heavens Seven Swords humd at her waist, cracks forming a cross shape on the scabbard.
"If a decapitation strike is needed, just say the word."
Mikoto and Shokuhou shared a look, both shaking their heads. No need for Kanzaki's intervention at all.
[Na]: Kanzaki Kaori
[Level]: 70
[Ability]: [Godly Swordsmanship], [Mark of the One God]
[Possession]: [Sacred Tool: Seven Heavens Seven Swords]
She's unbelievably strong now.
The sofa trembled slightly. Dolly, eyes shut, lashes trembling, had awakened about three hours ago—right in ti to hear certain… passionate sounds. Just from listening, she imagined all kinds of scenes. Huddled on the sofa, she shook under the covers, face burning, not daring to open her eyes.
"Stop pretending to sleep, cutie~"
Shokuhou blew her a playful kiss. Dolly sprang up like she'd been jolted, visible steam practically pouring off her head.
At this awkward mont, the air twisted into a vortex.
"Onee-sama!"
Kuroko Shirai popped out of a spatial rift, skirt still fluttering mid-teleport. Behind her ca Awaki Musuji.
"How many tis must I say—don't shriek during teleport!"
Kuroko looked around urgently. "Where's Rei Ao?"
She froze. Shokuhou's eyes scrutinized her like she could see right through her, while Mikoto's thoughtful expression made her squirm.
"Awww~"
Shokuhou sidled closer in a syrupy tone.
"Our dear Miss Judgnt who supposedly hates n so much—why so concerned about a certain guy?"
"U-um…"
Cold sweat gathered at Kuroko's temple. She couldn't possibly say in front of Onee-sama that she was growing attached to Rei Ao, right? She couldn't say: "Onee-sama, actually, I—I like Rei Ao-kun more now."
"Ahem."
Mikoto cleared her throat. She knew Rei Ao's… training had changed Kuroko's preferences. Part of her felt relieved, as that left Mikoto's own feelings for Rei Ao unchallenged.
"Rei Ao left," she said simply.
"O-oh…"
Kuroko's shoulders slumped with disappointnt. Awaki Musuji also looked a bit down, but she was more open-minded than Kuroko, so she'd enjoyed Rei Ao's presence a bit more.
"He's given us authority to manage the city,"
Mikoto explained. A holographic model of Academy City floated before her. "We need to rge our powers."
Awaki blew a bubblegum bubble. "I'm not fit for managent. Just tell if there's a job needing ." She casually turned the gum wrapper into a glowing blade, slicing open a black void in the air.
[Na]: Awaki Musuji
[Level]: 60
[Ability]: [Spatial Mastery], [Rei Ao's Blessing]
This girl, who used to fear teleportation due to her power's instability, could now sever dinsional space with ease.
Dolly suddenly raised her hand. "U-um!"
Her cowlick quivered anxiously. "I can help stabilize the Sisters' emotions on the network!" She engaged her ntal link; the cognitive waves of the 20,000 Sisters took on a brilliant aurora in the room.
"I'll do my best too!"
Kuroko's gaze turned firm—she most wished to see Academy City free of horrors like human experints. After all, she still recalled the ordeal of Onee-sama's clones. She herself also had that power:
[Na]: Shirai Kuroko
[Level]: 60
[Ability]: [Spatial Mastery], [Rei Ao's Blessing]
Academy City thus had two top-tier space users now. But Awaki rembered sothing:
"Oh, by the way, maybe we can bring them in to help out."
"Who?" the others asked curiously.
Awaki smirked. "The Item group from the dark side."
She knew plenty about Academy City's underbelly from her ti as Aleister's "Guide."
"All I'll say is let bring them here, and you decide if you want them or not."
