Chapter 395: Academy City

Toaru World, Japan

Academy City, as its name suggests, is a city with numerous schools and institutions of higher education, ranging from early childhood education to universities. It coexists with scientists researching technology and psychological phenomena related to espers, along with other classified projects.

(TN: Sounds like a nightmare city)

It is technologically advanced by 30 years compared to the rest of the world.

Academy City is divided into 23 districts, each designated for education, simply named from one to twenty-three. Each district serves a specific purpose.

The city is home to a total of 2.3 million inhabitants, with 80% being students. Out of these, 60% exhibit psychic abilities, while the remaining 20% do not.

"This place should be fine..."

In this city, a girl with short tea-colored hair glanced both ways and, seeing no one around, entered an alley.

This girl is Mikoto, a powerful Level 5 esper, Railgun number 3.

She felt quite nervous, swallowed hard, and her gaze was fixed on the floating screen in front of her. After all, she was about to summon a being from another world.

After returning from the Mirai Nikki world, Mikoto's doubts about interdimensional travel vanished. She discovered the potential dangers of powers from other worlds, with Minene being a perfect example, capable of continent-wide destruction.

Even though they won and her power increased thanks to the Chat Room reward, Mikoto wasn't happy. She knew her power wouldn't be enough to save the 'Sisters.'

(Guu... I hope Uchiha-san can fix this...)

As a girl who was initially content with her power boost, she attempted to save the 'Sisters' again but failed miserably. Her increased power wasn't sufficient, causing more harm than good. The Level 6 program still stood, and she couldn't defeat Accelerator.

Due to this incident, Mikoto didn't summon Yuki when the 34 hours ended. Now, after 40 hours, she finally decided to summon him.

She needed urgent support. She was under the scrutiny of Academy City's higher-ups, and this would seriously affect her stay in the city...

[Do you wish to summon the Champion?]

[Yes] [No]

"Yes."

[Request accepted...]

[Loading....]

As the countdown began, Mikoto's eyes blinked, and electricity started to surround her. She bit her lip and waited expectantly.

"Uchiha-san..."

What surprises would Yuki bring?

How would he help?

Could the 'Sisters' be saved?

Mikoto didn't know, but she had faith in her friend from another world. He saved one world, so he's a trustworthy person, and above all, he promised to help her solve this problem.

"Onee-sama..."

What Mikoto didn't know was that a girl was watching her from a corner...

A girl of short stature with brown hair tied in two curly pigtails, wearing the uniform of the prestigious Tokiwadai High School. Her name is Shirai Kuroko, a girl with both black and white in her name, although her personality tends more toward the black.

At 13 years old, Kuroko is short with a flat chest like a runway, but don't be deceived by her appearance. She is a powerful Level 4 esper, and her Teleport ability is potent and useful.

Kuroko is also a member of Judgment, the Public Morals Committee tasked with maintaining order and peace among students in Academy City.

Always vigilant for the safety of all students in the city.

As Mikoto's roommate, Kuroko noticed the change in Mikoto immediately. She didn't know the cause, but Mikoto had been acting very anxious this morning.

This wasn't something Mikoto would normally do. As she left the Dormitories, Mikoto was unusually cautious, glancing around for spies or other followers. The route she took wasn't her usual one, and as time passed and she walked, the streets became quieter.

Because of this, Kuroko decided to secretly follow her from a distance and see what Mikoto was planning.

Not that she doubted Mikoto was involved in criminal activity or anything like that. She was concerned and didn't know if this abnormal behavior was due to external factors.

Although she highly doubted it due to Mikoto's powerful ability, it was better to be cautious.

(No, no, Onee-sama is not that kind of person.)

She even thought that Mikoto might be meeting a man, but as soon as this thought occurred, Kuroko dismissed it. After all, Mikoto lacked feminine charm, acted very childishly and tomboyish. A glance under her skirt revealed safety shorts, not to mention her fondness for cute things like Gekota, etc. Her personality was also an issue, as she often let her emotions guide her actions. Mikoto was definitely not here for a man.

If Mikoto knew what Kuroko thought of her, several veins would probably pop on her forehead, and she'd unleash her lightning.

However, Mikoto acted suspiciously, entering a dark alley with no one around...

It was evident she was hiding something...

(Onee-sama!!)

However, in just a small lapse on her part, something happened in that alley where Mikoto was, leaving Kuroko stunned.

"It's good to see you again, Mikoto..."

After the summoning light faded, Yuki smiled.

Mikoto was wide-eyed; she knew that time in other worlds is distorted, and while only a few hours passed in her world, years could have passed in others.

But in the Mirai Nikki world, when she was first summoned, Mikoto met Yuki back then.

Yuki was a 13-year-old boy, a year younger than her, and also had many childish features like a shota.

But now, at 14, Yuki's childish traits had almost completely disappeared due to the Apocalypse virus and his shinobi physique. Yuki is now a handsome teenager, and Mikoto was sure he was the most handsome guy she had ever seen.

"U... Uchiha-san?... I..."

Her face blushed a bit, and she stepped back, unsure of what to do. Her tongue tangled, and she was nervous, similar to when a girl encounters her favorite artist on the street and they greet her.

Yuki, on the other hand, wasn't surprised. Tsunade was just as surprised as Mikoto when she first saw him after returning to her world.

Ninjas grow faster than a normal person, and with his Uchiha genes, it was only a matter of time for this to happen.

(So, this is Academy City, huh?)

At the same time, Yuki looked around. He was in a dark alley with little light, providing limited visibility. But judging by the height of the buildings, he knew this city wasn't simple. After all, Mikoto had already explained about this city.

And honestly, this city reeked of plots and conspiracies. No matter how you looked at it, a city 30 years technologically ahead of the entire world, primarily for student use, raised suspicions.

"Huh?"

Suddenly, Yuki's Sharingan spun, and he saw something floating in the air.

Small spherical bodies were suspended in the wind. Initially on high alert, thinking it might be some kind of virus, Yuki's Apocalypse virus activated by reflex, providing him protection. He had experienced this in the Guilty Crown world and didn't want to be defenseless again. However, upon closer inspection, he noticed something peculiar.

These small nanospheres were not viruses; they were machines. This puzzled him.

[Master, this is not good.]

Fortunately, he had Est in his spiritual world, who instantly opened Rasiel and searched for information about this world.

Listening to Est's explanation about these small nanomachines, Yuki's expression froze.

"Uchiha-san, what's happening?"

After calming down, Mikoto frowned. Yuki was looking into the air, and his expression was changing.

"Uchiha-san... Mhm!"

However, just as Mikoto was about to ask for an explanation, her waist was embraced, and her lips were sealed...

Yuki kissed her so suddenly and looked into her eyes.
