Accelerator listened to what Yoru Machi said and clenched the loose change in his hand tightly.
Although he had tried his best to calm himself down and tell himself that the guy in front of him was just an ordinary nobody, he had just taken out quite a few Misaka Sisters, and now his favorite canned coffee had been snatched away. He was already in an extremely foul mood.
He had indeed spotted the last can of coffee in the vending machine first. He had only gone to the supermarket counter to exchange some money because he had not had any change on him.
But he had not expected Yoru Machi to beat him to it after he had only been gone for a moment.
As Academy City's strongest ability user, when had Accelerator ever been mocked right to his face like this?
"Looks like you really want me to take you out!"
The coin in his hand shot forward. Thanks to Vector Manipulation, Accelerator could freely control the direction of all forms of energy, such as kinetic energy, thermal energy, and electrical energy. The coin he flicked with his finger flew past Yoru Machi like a bullet in the next instant.
"Boom—!"
Not only was it as fast as a bullet, but its destructive power was equally astonishing. It was clearly only a coin flicked from his finger, yet it had accelerated several times in midair.
When the coin skimmed past Yoru Machi's cheek and finally struck the vending machine behind him, the immense kinetic energy acting upon it blew apart more than half of the machine. A piercing alarm now rang out.
"I won't say it a second time. The can of coffee in your hand was the one I saw first."
The coin had missed on purpose.
