"Ah? A critical point?" Misaka Mikoto tilted her head and glanced at Kuroko Shirai, looking at Saten Leiko with a hesitant expression on her face.

"It means that the critical point for promotion to Level 5 has been reached!!" Saten Leiko explained to Shirai Kuroko in a relaxed tone.

"Is this okay? I remember that guy said that it must be kept secret, right?" Misaka Mikoto frowned, looking at Saten Leiko with some worry.

"It's just one sentence at most." Saten Leiko stuck out her tongue and said with a smirk. As for how to 'deal' with her righteous brother, the girl has accumulated a lot of experience in one year.

"...Different treatment is too obvious, isn't it?" Misaka Mikoto twitched the corners of her mouth, estimated the fate of her leaking secrets, and compared Saten Leiko's possible fate. Well, this is a sad comparison.

"...The critical point for promotion to Level 5?" A voice full of astonishment sounded slowly.

It was only then that Kuroko Shirai and Shiri Uiharu recovered from the deep shock and said incredulously.

"Yeah, the critical point of Level 5, the director of the 'workshop', that is, Lei Zi's righteous brother, he is always teaching people the concept of 'hidden clumsiness', what Level 4 is disguised as Level 3, and the type of ability is tampered with , in the face of the enemy, you must kill with one blow... Now, those guys are all insidious and insidious."

Misaka Mikoto twitched a few times at the corners of her mouth, thinking of the scene where she singled out a bee-eater last month and was chased and killed by a lot of high-ranking people, she wanted to vomit blood.

Even if she guessed with her feet, she could guess that among those girls, there are definitely multiple Level 5 "superpowers" hidden.

If she hadn't taken a few more steps in the class of superpowers, she might have been lost that time.

"Uh..." Seeing Misaka Mikoto's heartbroken expression, Kuroko Shirai blinked in confusion.

Although she doesn't quite agree with this act of covering up information, since people are willing to hide it and don't want scholarships for people with high abilities, my elder sister shouldn't mind it.

"Um, Saten-san will be promoted to Level 5 in a few days?" Uiharu Shiri looked at Saten Leiko with joy.

"No, the record will be covered up at Level 4. Although my brother said it's fine as I like it, it's better to cover it up."

Although I really wanted to see the scene after I became the eighth Level 5, but since Yuu suggested to everyone to hide her ability, as a younger sister, it was very bad for her to ignore this suggestion, so she gave up.

"Hey, is that so!" Chuchun Shili lowered her head with regret, and the flowers on top of her head that were protected by the ability also lowered her head.

"Speaking of which, this week's experiment time is almost up, right?" Misaka Mikoto said with a surprised expression, turning her head and looking at the electronic clock on the wall.

"Wait a minute, I haven't eaten my sundae yet..." Uchun Shiri lowered her head, then looked at the empty glass, and a big question mark appeared on her head.

"Orange flavor, it's very good!!" The usual Saten Leiko wiped her cherry lips with a tissue, the corners of her mouth curled up, and she gave a thumbs up towards Uchun Shiri.

"...I just took a bite." Uiharu Shiri looked at the empty glass with a sad face.

"Then buy another one." Misaka Mikoto's mouth twitched as she looked at the two with embarrassment.

Just when Misaka Mikoto and the three went to the counter to buy another sundae, Shirai Kuroko rubbed his chin suspiciously and said, "Did you deliberately let the participants hide their ability level? So suspicious!!"

"Heizi, come here quickly, we're leaving!"

"Hi!!"

Chapter 78 Brothers and sisters don't need secrets!

Get off the bus dedicated to the "Talent Workshop".

The four girls chatted and laughed and arrived at the downstairs of the headquarters building of the talent workshop and walked into the hall.

Seeing that Satian Leiko simply swiped her card and brought two unrelated people with no identity records into the confidential agency for a week, Shirai Kuroko couldn't help but sigh.

"The guards here are really lax."

Originally, Kuroko Shirai thought that the organization that made the participants hide information was some kind of secret location, but apart from the two old guards in the parking lot, there were not even a single guard. Such a simple defense, I think, only those institutions that are not in the mainstream can...

Suddenly, Kuroko Shirai's expression changed slightly, and an unpopular institution actually took charge of the ability development of a "superhuman". It doesn't seem normal, does it?

"There is something wrong with this building!!"

"Huh!!" Satian Leiko, who was walking in front, was stunned for a moment, then turned around and looked at Shirai Kuroko with an incredible look on his face.

"That's amazing! Shirai, how did you know that this is the "ineffectiveness zone"? Did Misaka-senpai tell you?"

"Hey, Leizi, don't slander, I didn't tell Kuroko!" Misaka Mikoto on the side shook her brows with a displeased expression. Does she look like the kind of person who can leak secrets?

"That is to say, Shirai-san guessed it, it's amazing!!" Uchiharu Shiri opened her eyes wide and covered her mouth.

"The zone of ineffectiveness?!!" Kuroko Shirai blinked in confusion. In fact, she just felt that the guards were too lax, so she felt it was deceitful, but she felt the three admiring gazes in front of her...

"That's right, I just used my ability to discover the secret of this building by accident."

While speaking, Shirai Kuroko secretly used his ability of "spatial movement", but the picture in front of him did not change in the slightest, and the ability that could be activated by concentration in the past was like a stone sinking into the sea.

Sure enough, this research institution has a big problem! !

Instead of guarding against those thieves, he gave priority to guarding against the abilities of those with abilities!

"Speaking of which, aren't Academy City's ability jammers too harmful to students and banned from using them?" Uiharu Shiri looked at Saten Leiko in confusion.

"It seems to be a different type of instrument, right? When I asked my brother before, it seemed that it was called the 'inherent enchantment'? It's really a strange name." Saten Leiko scratched her head in annoyance.

"Leizi, you really dare to ask anything..."

The corners of Misaka Mikoto's mouth twitched. Although she said she also knew her friend's strong curiosity, to be honest, why did that guy seem to be willing to leak everything to Tears!

"Hehe~~! I also heard my brother said that the two old men at the door are powerful **** demons, and they like to eat little girls like Chuharu the most!" Early spring as Lee Road.

"Alas!!"

Like a scared little squirrel, Uiharu Shiri hurriedly squatted down until she found out that it was Saten Leiko who was playing tricks on her. She waved her small fists and chased after Saten Leiko tearfully, swearing to never give up. looks like.

"Hell devil?" The corners of Shirai Kuroko's mouth twitched, and he glanced at the old man who was watching the gate in the guard booth at the back. With that wrinkled face and kind eyes, what about the devil? Santa Claus is about the same.

Zizizi-!

The crackling arc sounded softly.

Misaka Mikoto held a game token and looked at the old uncle who was sitting in the guard box with some confusion.

"Would you like to try it? That guy doesn't seem to have any jokes at all, does he?"

"Please don't, big sister!!"

On the side, Kuroko Shirai immediately hugged Misaka Mikoto's waist, grabbed the girl forcibly, and walked towards the elevator door. As if she was afraid that Misaka Mikoto couldn't help but do it for a while, even in an academy city, beating an old man is a felony!

It was until the four figures disappeared in the elevator.

"Gu Xin, that pet girl wants to do something." The white-haired old man in the sentry said with a smile.

The other old man with his back turned grinned and said faintly. "It's a pity, we don't even have the right to fight back."

"That's right, hehehe..." The hoarse and dry laughter kept echoing.
