Idiots and Madmen / The Misaka Sisters Who Were Killed

However, they were all standing quietly beside Yuxian like obedient children, without making a sound, not even whispering to each other.

They were terrified of offending Nightingale, the head nurse, and cautiously glanced at Nightingale, whose face looked grim, not far away.

Nightingale was fearless in the face of an entire armed force; the concept of danger simply did not exist in her mind.

All her actions were solely for the benefit of her patients.

As Therestina and her armed men slowly approached, her thoughts were still on the patients behind her who were still receiving treatment.

"I am not an angel... not an angel... not a goddess. I will do everything in my power to bring happiness to people!"

I will eradicate all poisons and all harmful substances (Nightingale Pledge)

A tall figure appeared behind Nightingale. Her face was obscured and her voice was inaudible, but everyone knew that she was a nurse.

White nurse uniforms and white nurse caps are the most common nurse attire.

The moment the white figure appeared, all the armed personnel dropped their weapons to the ground, and the ability users discovered they could no longer use their abilities.

Nightingale forced this area into an absolute security perimeter, temporarily rendering all armed forces ineffective.

Poisons disappear, weapons fall from your hands, bombs cannot undergo chemical reactions, Magecraft cannot be woven, and superpowers cannot be used.

In a sense, Nightingale's Noble Phantasm is somewhat similar to Kamijou Touma's Imagine Breaker, both being the embodiment of wishes and intentions.

It is the embodiment of the concept of 'angels in white who help the wounded and sick'.

Faced with this sudden change, Therestina and her armed personnel were extremely shocked. They had never seen anything like it before, as if an invisible force prevented them from harming the people in front of them.

Fear led them to choose to retreat.

Knowing that she could not achieve her goal today, Therestina decided to leave with everyone temporarily and make other plans.

After the convoy left, everything returned to normal.

Misaka Mikoto asked, equally surprised, "What was that just now?"

Following Kamijou Touma, she once again encountered a situation where her abilities were nullified.

She was actually about to make her move, but when the nurse phantom appeared behind Nightingale, she found that she couldn't release the electromagnetic force out of her body no matter what she did.

Yuxian explained to her, "That's a kind of protection called nursing."

"Seriously, are you sure it's okay for you not to go back to your dorm at this time? Even during summer vacation, the dorm management at Tokiwadai is still very strict, right?"

Misaka Mikoto gave an embarrassed look. She had indeed been missing curfew lately, but fortunately, Shirai Kuroko had covered for her, so the dormitory supervisor hadn't found out yet.

"Speaking of which, is it possible to find the location of Therestina's research institute?" Yuxian continued. "She has the Initial Sample, so why don't we take care of this today?"

"I'll check right away!"

The impact of the "disorderly opening" is growing, Yuxian thinks it's best to deal with it as soon as possible. Since he happened to meet Therestina today, he might as well settle this matter once and for all to avoid causing any more trouble.

Upon hearing that they were going to find the key item to save the children, Nightingale immediately stepped forward and said, "Master, I'll go too."

Yuxian waved his hand and refused, saying, "Head Nurse, you can stay here and take care of the patients. We'll handle the fighting."

"Aren't you right?" Yuxian winked at the children beside him.

"Yes, don't worry about it, leave it to us!" The children all said that they would take care of the matter and dared not trouble Nightingale.

Hearing Yuxian say this, Nightingale did not insist any further, as she trusted Yuxian.

"I want to go too!" Misaka Mikoto immediately declared that she wanted to go with them.

Yuxian thought about it and didn't refuse. After all, Misaka Mikoto was a Level 5 Railgun, and her abilities were very convenient to use in many situations, which could save Yuxian a lot of trouble.

Chapter 16, Section 189: Fools and Madmen

After deciding to take advantage of the situation and pursue Therestina, Yuxian soon encountered another problem.

Transportation.

They lacked suitable transportation, which prevented Yuxian from moving freely within the vast Academy City.

He has always stayed within the 7th school district and mainly travels on foot.

To pursue Therestina, a more convenient means of transportation, such as a car, is needed.

Kiyama Harumi's car is a two-seater sports car, which can comfortably accommodate one or two more children if you squeeze in.

However, now their group includes not only children, but also Yuxian, Mash, and Misaka Mikoto.

"That's why we must have our own means of transportation!" the children reiterated, emphasizing the importance of this matter.

"So what do we do now?" Everyone turned their attention to Yuxian, hoping he could solve this problem.

Yuxian sighed, "I have no choice but to call Ishtar and ask her to come and help in this emergency."

Finding a car at this point was clearly impractical. Yuxian hadn't anticipated this problem; otherwise, she would have made other preparations, such as buying a multi-seat family car, which would have been sufficient to cope with the current predicament.

After finishing the phone call, the group waited at the hospital entrance.

Fortunately, Ishtar was kind enough to come and help, otherwise Yuxian would have inevitably lost face tonight.

"Hi hi!"

Ishtar's voice came quickly, and a sleek seven-seater family car drifted and came to a stop in front of Yuxian. Ishtar was in the driver's seat.

Yuxian carefully examined the car he had never seen before and asked curiously, "Did you buy a new car?"

Seeing the envious looks on the other people's faces, Ishtar smiled smugly.

She patted the steering wheel hard and said proudly, "This is Maana!"

Maana?

Yuxian finally understood why the children were so envious of Ishtar having Maana.

Because he's envious now too...

With its versatile design, easy driving, and teleportation capabilities, this comfortable and practical mode of transportation is the envy of everyone who sees it.

Yuxian is now very tempted to take it for himself.

When the children saw Ishtar's smug look, they all turned their faces away and refused to talk to her.

Their prejudice against Ishtar had not yet been dispelled, especially since Ishtar was showing off her Maana in front of them.

Ishtar pretended not to notice the children's behavior and asked Yuxian, "Where are you going? I'm in a good mood today, I'll take you wherever you want."

Yuxian said, "It's an affiliated research institute of the 18th School District Advanced Situation Rescue Team headquarters."

Therestina failed to achieve her goal and took the unconscious children away. She will definitely return to the research institute first, so going there to find her is definitely the right thing to do.

OK!

Ishtar received instructions, stepped on the gas, and started the car, speeding down the road.

She didn't use teleportation; instead, she drove on the ground like a normal vehicle, but at an extremely high speed.

"Be careful, don't drive so fast!" Yuxian was a little scared. Ishtar was driving so recklessly that he was worried something might happen.

"Relax, relax! I'm an experienced driver, there's no problem at all."

As she spoke, Ishtar even took her hand off the steering wheel and tidied her long hair, which made Yuxian tremble with fear.

With Ishtar driving recklessly, Yuxian and his companions quickly reached their destination.

After getting off the bus, everyone else was fine, but Yuxian was a bit overwhelmed. He was extremely dizzy, and Ishtar laughed at him for it.

"I'll wait for you here. I'll take you back after you come out."

Yuxian wanted to refuse her, but when he thought about the long distance between here and the Seventh School District, he held back in the end.

He didn't want to have to travel such a long way back.

The affiliated research institute of the Advanced Situation Rescue Team headquarters in District 18.

Therestina was throwing a tantrum in her office, extremely unhappy that she hadn't brought the person back today.

She always kept Kihara Gensei's experiment in mind, and becoming a Level 6 Absolute Ability User was her ultimate goal, and no one could stop her.

Yuxian swaggered into the research institute and pushed open the door to Therestina's office.

"Oh, you're angry!"

Upon seeing Yuxian, Therestina roared with a ferocious expression, "You dare to come here again!"

"Why wouldn't I dare?" Yuxian was not intimidated by her imposing manner at all, and calmly walked to the sofa and sat down.

Yuxian's confident demeanor gradually calmed Therestina down. She stared at Yuxian and said, "Whatever your purpose or request, as long as it doesn't interfere with my affairs, feel free to state it."

Yuxian pondered for a few seconds, then said calmly, "I want the Initial Sample you have."

"Are you here to make fun of me?!" Therestina; she absolutely could not accept this condition.

"If that's how you think, there's nothing I can do." Yuxian shrugged. "For the sake of all these cartoon dolls in the room, I don't really want to make things too difficult for you."

Therestina's office is filled with various animal and cartoon dolls, which attract children as soon as they enter, and they look around at them.

"Level 6 Absolute Ability User, is that your goal?" Yuxian shook his head and said disdainfully, "If it were that easy to achieve, do you think there aren't people in this Academy City who are smarter than you? People who are more powerful than you? People who are more ruthless than you?"

"What exactly are you trying to say?"

Therestina began to grow impatient. She didn't want to listen to Yuxian's lecture; she just wanted to complete her plan and finish the experiment.

"It seems that reasoning with them won't work."

Yuxian shook his head, somewhat helpless. He hadn't wanted to use force, but it seemed he had no choice.

"We did something to tamper with the place when we came, so your men won't notice anything unusual, then..."

As he spoke, he said to the others, "Be gentle, don't break this place."

Therestina tried to resist, but it was no use; she had almost no chance to fight back and was subdued.

Therestina struggled to say, "What exactly is your purpose?!"

"I've already said, I want the Initial Sample." Yuxian looked at her calmly. "Level 6 Absolute Ability User, tsk tsk! Only idiots and lunatics like you would believe that it exists. Anyway, I don't believe it."

"The realm of gods is not a place that mortals can set foot in. Even if it were, the price would be too high for ordinary people to bear."

Yuxian thought of Scathach, who stepped into the realm of gods in human form.

Even someone as powerful as Scathach suffered countless curses because of this.

The researchers in Academy City, who relentlessly pursue absolute power users, are destined to achieve nothing.

Ultimately, it was just part of Aleister's plan.

P. S.: Anyone here participated in the Hedgehog Cat's 4th Anniversary event and entered a Lucky Bag?

Please give me a tip and some razor blades!

Chapter 17, Section 190: The Killed Misaka Sister

While they chatted Yuxian, Mash had already searched the entire office, including Therestina's.

"Senior, is this it?"

She found the Initial Sample. Something so important, Therestina would surely have carried it with her at all times; it couldn't have been placed anywhere else.

Yuxian nodded and took the Initial Sample in his hand.

He said to Therestina, "I was thinking of sending you to prison to calm down, but I think I'll pass. With the Kihara family's influence in Academy City, getting you out wouldn't be difficult. I won't do something so thankless."

Yuxian said to the others, "Mission accomplished, we should head back."

Misaka Mikoto followed Yu Xian blankly. She didn't know what she was there for, and did nothing. Like a spectator, she just wanted to go back after making a brief appearance.

"Does Misaka want to become a Level 6?" Yuxian was walking ahead, suddenly asked.

Misaka Mikoto was startled by Yuxian's words. She chuckled awkwardly, "Didn't you say that only fools and madmen believe in the existence of Level 6?"
