The concept of time became hazy here, and Misaka Mikoto didn't know how long she had been here.

The one who listened to the future said that this place is—that is, in the sea of ​​consciousness, with attributes similar to dreams.

No matter how long the time elapses subjectively, the outside world is objectively waking up overnight.

[The super powers we got @ in Academy City are actually "borrowed power". 】

[From the beginning of level to level 5, it is not that our strength is getting stronger and stronger, but that our knowledge, computing power, and control power are gradually increasing, and the power that can be controlled is getting stronger. 】

[So, we obtained the qualification to borrow stronger abilities and were promoted to super powers (lv.5). 】

[However, because everyone has different natural aptitudes, no matter how much you study, you can’t borrow power from the rules of the world, so the peak of power that everyone can achieve is actually prescribed from the beginning. 】

[This is another hidden dark animal husbandry in Academy City-literacy judgment]

Such knowledge, or the inheritance of truth and inside information, is what Misaka Mikoto has always learned here.

Its purpose, according to what the future self said is--

[When tens of thousands of us unite and share intelligence, of course, the magnitude of its power will skyrocket. It is not the same dimension as before. 】

【If there is no perfect preparation, the first thing that excessive force will destroy is yourself. 】

However, this kind of spiritual communication as if attending a class was good at first——

There is no fatigue, no barriers, all knowledge is absorbed by Misaka Mikoto without any sense of stickiness.

Everything seems to be back in the first grade classroom, the era when real learning makes people happy.

Knowing the unknown truths and secrets hidden in the shadows of the world is indeed very heartbeat...

However, after a long time, no matter how happy things are, it will make people a little boring——

[In this world, the origin of all power is "knowledge". 】

[It is possible to become a capable person after learning "science" knowledge. The person who learns the knowledge of "magic", performs specific rituals, and recites specific spells to gain power is called a magician. 】

[The Demon God is one of the best. He has acquired all the knowledge in a field, and he has become the God of Magic by performing specific rituals. 】

[But at the same time, for people who are not qualified and have too low status, taboo knowledge equals harmful knowledge. 】

[Therefore, only those with the ability of Academy City cannot use magic. This is all because the "science" system created by Aleister is in conflict with other magic systems, which was equivalent to apostasy in the old days...]

"That... can you interrupt it?"

Hearing this, Misaka Mikoto raised her hand and interrupted the long-haired self lecture.

[Well, please tell me, Misaka Mikoto. 】

"How long will our courses here last?"

[Don't worry, no matter how long it has passed, you will wake up at the right time. 】

"But, don't you think we have been here for a long time?"

[That's it, the subjective time has probably passed about two hundred years. 】

"What?!~Really?"

【fake. There is no concept of time here, everything is the exchange of information between you and me. 】

"It scared me to death. I thought I became an old woman without knowing it."

[All for you to slowly adapt to the dramatic increase in computing power and strength. 】

[Maybe you don’t know much about the inner world of your sisters. 】

[Actually, they seem to be stunned when they talk to other people. In fact, it is because they exchange information and discuss countermeasures with a lot of other sisters in their heads. 】

"Ah, so that's it, meeting in the brain!~"

[Yeah, cute, right? 】

Long-haired Misaka seemed to see the scene of several Q version Misaka sisters meeting together, and smiled warmly.

"No, we will also..."

[That's it, as long as the synchronization is completed, Misaka in other worlds will also join the chat, and you can even convene people in your mind to discuss countermeasures when facing the enemy. 】

"Isn't that super invincible?! Bullet time?"

[So, there are countless people thinking in parallel, this is our advantage. 】

It seemed that something had been thought of, and it felt like it was almost there. Long-haired Misaka sighed slightly, looked at himself when he was young, and muttered:

[Counting the time, that guy is almost here. 】

"Who is coming soon?" Misaka Mikoto asked strangely.

[...Save your "hero". 】

"Ah, what's that? It's a hero or something, it's not a manga." Misaka Mikoto retorted blushingly.

Longfa Misaka did not hesitate, and directly opened a big skylight in this empty space.

Misaka Mikoto came back to her senses, she was already in a ghost state, floating behind her head that flashed and thundered.

From the perspective of the third person, I saw how the power-ridden self destroyed the high-rise buildings of the talented mansion.

And what is very eye-catching is that a boy with a hedgehog head is struggling to support the violent Misaka Mikoto relying on instinct to expel the thunder of surrounding obstacles.

[This guy~lightnovelpub.net~ every time when we are most vulnerable and need help, he suddenly comes to us. 】

[Encourage us for no reason, use his hopelessly good character to intervene in our affairs, and help us without asking for anything in return. Save us. 】

[Can't we call him our "hero"? 】

"You, you, you... this is too..."

Hearing what Nagafa Misaka said made Misaka Mikoto too shy.

Long-haired Misaka looked at Misaka Mikoto's performance, and couldn't bear to look directly away.

Then he said freely and easily:

[I used to think so too, but now I am getting used to it. 】

Long-haired Misaka looked at the hedgehog-head young man who was clearly overwhelmed by himself, but he still looked enthusiastic, trying to save the person in front of him, and slowly said:

[Furthermore, I later realized that in addition to my gratitude for that guy, there were also some feelings that were definitely not pure love in my heart. 】

"Other feelings...?"

[Longing and yearning-I want to be as strong as the good old guy without confusion. 】

[Protect the people you want to protect, help those who need help in front of you. 】

[The kind of will not be shaken by anyone's instructions, but only follow the feelings that have emerged in my heart, and the will to move forward courageously-this is what I have always longed for and longed for. 】

[I want to be like him, or even surpass him, instead of becoming a burden behind him. 】

"..."

Misaka Mikoto looked at the declaration of Longfa Misaka blankly, and realized a lot for a time.

[This is my sentiment, how do you feel about my feelings for him? 】
