Chapter 568 Giving Some Punishment

Misaki's face turned dark when she heard Asahi's words. After all, her ability placed her among the seven who stood above millions of people, and it can be said that she was on a level beyond the masses.

But now, Asahi said that her face's thickness really matches her ability, doesn't he basically say that her face is as thick as millions of people's put together? Moreover, he said it in a sarcastic manner. So after she realized something was off, it would be strange if her face didn't darken.

"Are you saying that a girl has thick skin, boss? Do you not have a girlfriend? Clearly, you're good-looking!"

Now that Misaki has the chance to take a closer look at Asahi, she feels that he is indeed very handsome, but she isn't the type to become infatuated easily, so she is still very calm.

"Seems like my relationship status is none of your business, you little brat. Besides, do you have a boyfriend?"

Asahi raised an eyebrow and shot back with a single sentence.

"Who are you calling a little brat?"

Misaki is furious. To think she'd be called a little brat, it was crossing the line. After all, she is a dignified queen.

"It's a deal if someone agrees!"

Asahi didn't waste any words, and with that statement, Misaki found herself at a loss for words again.

She realized she was getting extremely frustrated. She had been talking to Asahi for only a short time, but she was clearly losing the verbal battle.

"Shokuhou! Why are you here?"

At this moment, a familiar figure appeared on the scene, it was none other than Mikoto.

"What's wrong with me being here? Does this place only allow you to come?"

Misaki responded indignantly, leaving Mikoto confused. While she had indeed shocked Misaki with an electric shock earlier, it shouldn't have led to this kind of reaction. It was as if she had ingested dynamite, causing her to explode so quickly.

"This little brat probably came here to find your secret to becoming stronger, that's why she ended up here. She was even planning to read my memories just now, so I said a few words, and it turned into this!"

Asahi waved his hand and indicated his innocence, which further infuriated Misaki.

Of course, she also had a glint in her eyes because she knew that Mikoto getting stronger is definitely related to this place.

"Wait… how do you know my purpose?"

Misaki looked at Asahi with a guarded expression, suspecting that Asahi had similar abilities to her, and he maybe even better than her.

"Don't be so defensive, I haven't read your memories. However, your intent is too strong, and when combined with what Misaka said about you, even though there weren't many kind words, the fact that you're here is unusual in itself."

"In that case, combined with your behavior just now, you can basically be sure that you have suffered from Misaka, which led you here!"

Asahi explained calmly. While he had the ability to read Misaki's memory, there was no need to use it just now. Misaki's purpose was too obvious, and even a quick deduction could reveal it.

"I see… So you're here to find the secret of me becoming stronger!" Mikoto hit her palm with her fist.

"What's wrong with that? What I'm doing is normal. How could your body turn lightning? It's too unscientific, completely unrelated to science at all, okay!"

Misaki responded in a somewhat disheveled manner, appearing to have given up. As for the people around them reading manga, they had all scattered, not because of Misaka's reputation as a Level 5 Esper, but due to the sheer enigmatic nature of Misaki's ability. They really didn't want to stick around.

'If you knew that the big shots in Academy City are from the magic side, you probably wouldn't even mention the word 'science'!'

Asahi complained in his heart. Aleister, in the past, had been a significant figure on the magic side. Even now, his influence has reached about fifty percent of the people on the magic side, highlighting just how terrifying he is.

The scientific side of this world couldn't even compare to the magic side, as the gap was too immense.

As for this 'science', although it might sound somewhat scientific, don't forget that the concept of science itself doesn't truly apply to the Imagine Breaker, so this ability could be considered quite unscientific.

"Sure, you can be curious, and I'll tell you that Misaka's ability does indeed originate from this place. So, what else would you like to ask?"

Asahi suddenly blurted out a sentence, leaving Misaki completely stunned, and her face displaying a mix of confusion and surprise.

"Wait... why did you just say that so directly?"

Misaki found it quite shocking.

"It's not like something that can't be said, or rather, you're the only one who seemed to treat it as something to be discreet about from the beginning. I've never said this was something worth concealing!"

Asahi waved his hand dismissively, and Mikoto also found the situation a bit amusing. Of course, she hadn't expected Asahi to reveal the information so straightforwardly.

Mikoto wasn't entirely aware of the potential consequences, but Misaki knew. After all, unlike Mikoto, who had never been in contact with the darkness, she had come into contact with it quite a bit.

Therefore, she naturally understood the magnitude of the chaos that would ensue if this information were to spread. The members of the Board of Directors and researchers from various institutions would probably turn into ravenous beasts, devouring Asahi completely.

"I…you…Forget it, I'm leaving!"

In the end, Misaki couldn't find the right words to say and decided to leave, holding back her frustration.

"Wait a minute, didn't you plan on reading my memories earlier? You're not thinking of leaving that easily, are you?"

Asahi raised an eyebrow and said. How can he let Misaki leave just like that? His memories are not some kind of supermarket where she could come and go as she pleased.

"You… what else do you want?"

Misaki responded with a touch of stubbornness, unafraid of the situation.

"Do something wrong and yet so confident, Misaka, it seems that this little brat needs some education. Give her a jolt of electric therapy!"

Asahi is somewhat speechless. It is indeed difficult for him to directly deal with Misaki, but with Mikoto her, although the other party hasn't really read his memory, it doesn't necessarily mean that he will let Misaki go.

"I'm happy to help!"

Mikoto showed a mischievous smirk. She had already given Misaki a dose of electric therapy once before, so doing it again now wasn't a big deal.

"You… What are you going to do? Don't mess around… aaahhh!"

Misaki convulsed on the ground after being hit by the electricity. It can be said that Mikoto's electric therapy is indeed quite effective.

After that, Misaki left with a deep sense of resentment, but that was two hours later.

She feels that Asahi is simply a demon among demons. Many people had referred to her as a demon, but she felt that she couldn't compare to Asahi in any way.

This time, she had certainly suffered a severe setback.
