Why Can You Use Magic?!

The logic was simple: finding Mikoto was practically the same as finding Shokuhou.

"So what exactly is this Final Dogma?"

Kuroko's teleportation ability was extremely useful in a place like this, and the three of them quickly neared their destination. Kuroko took the opportunity to ask.

"Well, it wouldn't hurt for you to know." Nunotaba Shinobu said, "Simply put, beneath Academy City lies an enormous underground network. Together with the other parts of Academy City, this network forms a massive structure—and that structure is the nervous system of the Giant God Soldier. To integrate such a vast organization, we also need immense energy and the most advanced neural structure..."

The two of them stared at Nunotaba Shinobu.

"And the core of it all is the Final Dogma. Misaka Mikoto has been there all along."

"Wait, all along?" Kuroko lost her composure.

Then what was the deal with Onee-sama, who had been by my side?

"..." Mitsuya Aiyu said nothing.

Kuroko did not know about the Sisters. Although Shokuhou Misaki had later promised not to mentally interfere with Kuroko, the parts she had altered before had not been "reverted." Mitsuya Aiyu, however, knew about them.

So after hearing Nunotaba Shinobu's words, both of them understood.

"Well, I can't exactly say she's been there all along. But Misaka Mikoto does indeed have many subordinate bodies that can move about in the outside world. The Misaka Mikoto you saw was the real one."

Hearing that, Kuroko relaxed somewhat.

"So who are our enemies?"

That was what Mitsuya Aiyu cared about more.

"Espers from outside. Under normal circumstances, that would be manageable, but Academy City isn't doing well right now."

Anyone could see that Academy City's situation was extremely bad.

They had clearly gone all out, yet the enemy had completely withstood their attacks.
