Simulating Abilities / Passing Each Other By

Although it takes a long time to double her power each time, in the long run, her power is indeed growing exponentially.

"A punch like this now weighs almost 20 tons, it's really crazy."

Chapter 241 Simulation Ability

The next day, in the morning.

"There are so many cash cards being handed in lately. I don't know why, but these cards have mysteriously appeared in many hidden alleys."

As always, Judgement Kurotama, who had arrived early in the morning, had just made a cup of black tea when she heard Kuroko muttering to himself.

Kurotama was stunned for a moment, realizing that the number of cash cards had spread to almost half of Academy City.

The person who placed these cards in different locations was none other than Nunotaba Shinobu, a student at the Chodenji Academy.

Sister Gufua took a sip of Musashino Milk, then sat down next to Kurotama: "Kurotama, do you particularly like using this body? As for Yukino, we rarely see her in public."

Yukino is working out!

Of course, this truth could only remain hidden in her heart.

"In terms of combat power, Kurotama is stronger than Yukino, so she probably uses this body more often."

"Why don't you use your physical form outside of school? Do you think it's better to be a girl than a boy?"

Kurotama's expression stiffened, then she said speechlessly, "No... Besides, it's already good enough that Tokiwadai allows me to not wear the school uniform outside of school. If I were to wander around outside in my true form all day long, the teachers would probably all be looking for me."

Speaking of Tokiwadai having to wear school uniforms, it seems the academy is planning to give Kurotama 20 sets of uniforms at once, so that all her clones can wear them.

This means you can't wear your own clothes as you please.

After a moment of silence, Sister Gufua suddenly laughed, "I understand."

"What do you understand?"

"Your true form isn't suited to wearing a school uniform."

"Cough cough." Kurotama choked twice, subconsciously thinking of her original self wearing the Tokiwadai, and felt a chill run down her spine.

If that's the case, then he'll really become a cross-dressing master.

"Hmm, that's right." Suddenly, a flash of Kurotama struck him, and he thought of the safest way to deal with Accelerator.

In fact, although Accelerator's abilities are very powerful, he still has a huge weakness when facing True Magic.

Kurotama didn't dare use Rikku's simulation True Magic to fight her because Rikka's potential was too low, and she wasn't sure what kind of True Magic could effectively harm her. After all, vectors are something really difficult to describe in True Magic.

But she didn't forget that there was a Level 0 in Academy City who could easily beat up a powerful figure with his fists.

That's Kamijou Touma, the male protagonist of A Certain Magical Index.

There's no need for any illusionary intervention; with Accelerator's physique, physical attacks with his fists would suffice. It's fair to say that before evolving wings, Accelerator was just an ordinary person, average in every way except for his abilities.

"First, let's find Kamijou Touma and see if we can imitate his abilities."

Based on the timeline, Touma is currently experiencing the Vampire Killer incident.

With this in mind, she mobilized the spaceship in space to begin filming Academy City and eventually located Touma's position.

"Did you just leave home?"

On the other side, Yukino and Yuno Gasai immediately set off.

About 20 minutes later, the two clones arrived at the street where the target was located.

"Hey, Touma, look! This is a sweet and soft fruit-flavored cake. Just one bite will give you an amazing taste experience."

Index, dressed in a nun's habit, excitedly pointed to the cake shop next door, Kamijou Touma beside her, helplessly tugged at his pocket. "All my money was trampled by that Bilibili I met this morning. Anyway, cakes aren't anything particularly delicious, so I'll just live on instant noodles today."

"Touma!"

Seeing the perpetually unlucky boy pulling along an extremely angry nun, Yukino quickly walked over.

However, Bilibili is probably Touma's nickname for Railgun, so did they meet this morning?

With this thought in mind, Yukino Yukinoshita, stood in front of the two of them.

"Long time no see."

"Um?"

Kamijou Touma looked puzzled. (PS: At this Kamijou Touma had been touched by the feather and had lost his memory. In other words, he had forgotten the protagonist, but he pretended to know him in order to avoid being discovered.)

"I've come to ask you for a small favor. I want to test my abilities with your right hand. I want to know if my body will disappear because of your hand."

Kamijou Touma looked visibly surprised and raised his right hand. "Do you know my hand? I don't make people disappear; I just nullify their abilities."

"My body is created by my ability. Do you know the latest clone ability user revealed in Academy City? That's me."

"Have no idea."

"Okay, anyway, just touch my palm with your hand, and hers too."

Yukino and Yuno simultaneously reached out their hands, Touma touched his two clones under Index's strange gaze.

It did not disappear.

However, Yuno Gasai had already taken out her phone, discovered that the Future Diary had disappeared.

It was as if it had been deleted; all the information on the phone became blank.

"In other words, Imagine Breaker is ineffective against clones, but does it have a restraining effect on the abilities used against clones?"

Having reached this conclusion, Rikku, who had already been summoned, began to analyze Imagine Breaker's abilities.

To simulate this ability, Rikku's imagination needs to be quite similar to the essence of Imagine Breaker.

Having watched A Certain Magical Index and A Certain Scientific Railgun, she had a fairly good understanding of this protagonist, and probably knew how his abilities worked. Soon, Rikku used this power to block Nightingale's healing.

"It's proven effective. Although it's a fake Imagine Breaker, its appearance is already very close to it."

The next step is to manifest this imagined power through the Evil Eye, and then use it directly during the battle with Accelerator.

The effect might not be as strong as Touma's, but Rikku is a Devil Fruit user after all, and with the help of her other clones, defeating the old man shouldn't be too difficult.

Not to mention, there is currently no evidence to suggest that the Mysterious Heroine X is no match for the old man.

After all, Accelerator's ability relies on calculation. If he wants to calculate something he can't understand or something from another world, he must first know what it is.

As for the abilities of these clones of Su Lin, to be honest, even he himself didn't know what they were.

After all, they all come from the system, and the system belongs to a higher level, beyond the boundaries of the world itself.

Is it okay now?

Seeing the two girls withdraw their hands, Touma scratched his head and said.

"Okay, thank you."

The two girls waved and left. Index nearby, then asked, "Touma, what's going on?"

"Haha, it's nothing."

Chapter 242 Passing By

Touma was preparing to go home with Index, he suddenly found 100,000 yen in his bag. Next to it was a small note that read: A small thank you gift.

"100,000? That's incredibly generous!"

"Oh, cake, cake, Touma, buy a cake."

"Okay, I'm a little embarrassed, but it seems I really did her a big favor."

Touma thought to himself, speechless, "I really have encountered a bunch of weirdos."

"But then again, if I had suddenly received such a sum of money in the past, how would I have handled it? Would I have chosen to return it, or would I have chosen to spend it myself?"

Kamijou Touma has lost his memories, which he is currently trying his best to conceal. Everyone around him is a stranger, and even Index is someone he treats with great care, trying to maintain their previous relationship.

He had no recollection of ever seeing those two beautiful girls.

"Oh right, she seemed to have said that she is the latest publicly revealed esper in Academy City. Let me check."

Back home, Touma quickly found information about Su Lin.

"The ability to create clones, female clones, which means the original body is male? She's actually a newly promoted LV5."

According to information released by Academy City, Su Lin's ranking is actually much higher than it is now, so his ranking is only temporarily at eighth place and may change in the future based on the information.

According to publicly available information, the number of the strongest ability users, exceeding 2.3 million, is no longer the seven previously rumored.

Back in Tokiwadai, Rikku, who had already gained the ability of False Imaginary Hand, conducted a series of subtle tests in her dormitory.

Even if others were right in front of him, they wouldn't be able to tell that his abilities were restricted, but she knew that Rikka had indeed sealed his ability to create Rikku.

In the days that followed, Rikku used her abilities to secretly observe Railgun and became certain that she had come into contact with Nunotaba Shinobu.

The girl with black hair was only 17 years old, but she was an absolute genius. She showed her talent in the field of biology and medicine at a very young age and participated in the cloning project of the Misaka Sister.

Later that night, Railgun infiltrated the manufacturing base of her sisters, successfully accessed the relevant records, and thus learned about her cloning plan.

According to the information, the plan had already been suspended because the sisters' ability levels were too low, which relieved her.

But the truth cannot be hidden for long.

At this stage, she has a serious lack of understanding of the relevant matters, and even thought that she had at most a dozen or twenty clones. She is also unaware of the cruel and insane plan of the Absolute Ability User.

"Let's find Accelerator first. Railgun is about to meet up with the Misaka Sister."

From then on, they stayed indoors and all their clones worked together to analyze the images the spaceship had taken from space.

From 2.3 million people, she finally determined Accelerator's location.

A thin young man with silver-white hair, who looked somewhat lazy, was walking silently down the road carrying a bag of lunch.

Blending into the crowd, he appeared no different from ordinary people, but no one knew that this boy was the strongest in the entire Academy City.

His Vector Control ability allows him to deflect almost any damage he understands, and he can freely control its direction. Facing Railgun's full-force attack, Accelerator can easily remain unscathed.

"However, no matter how strong you are, I can still test you out."

After thinking for a moment, Su Lin sent Kurisu Makise's clone to the path that Accelerator must take.

After walking for a few minutes, the other person suddenly stopped.

Because a strange woman with long red hair and wearing a white coat walked towards him and brushed past him.

In that instant, although nothing happened, Accelerator clearly had an ominous premonition, as if his abilities had paused briefly.

Looking back at the other person's figure, she saw that Kurisu Makise was about to turn into the ramen shop next door.

"Hello."

He called out from afar, but the red-haired woman didn't respond at all. She pushed open the door and disappeared from sight.

Twisting his neck, Accelerator had no intention of causing trouble, simply dismissing his earlier feeling as his own illusion. After all, it's normal to feel unwell sometimes; his abilities were actually perfectly normal, and his previous sensation was probably just self-deception.

At the same time, Kurisu Makise, who had taken her seat, said to the waiter who came up to her, "Give me a beef ramen set meal."

What side dishes would you like?

"Hmm, shumai, and a cup of oolong tea, please."

Looking at the dishes on the menu, the assistant randomly ordered some food.

About ten minutes later, the food was served to her.

"So much stuff in this set meal?"

Pasta, mashed potatoes, dipping sauce...

Silently picking up her spoon, Kurisu Makise began her first proper meal since being summoned.

In the past, for the sake of research, I would just grab some snacks to satisfy my cravings. To be honest, this clone has never really enjoyed the pleasure of eating a proper meal.

When she had eaten about half of it, her movements suddenly froze.

"Wait, how did I end up eating this?"

The original intention was to test whether the ability was effective against Accelerator, and then enter the ramen shop so that the other party might not bother to pursue the matter due to the trouble.

But to my surprise, I instinctively ordered food as soon as I sat down.

"Never mind, let's just enjoy the meal."

Slightly unconventional, Kurisu Makise's attire made her look like a senior researcher at a scientific research institution. Coupled with her naturally beautiful appearance, many people at the scene focused their attention on her.
