Chapter 96

At this moment, Tsuchiya Danji was dragging a suitcase down the street, still feeling a chill from what had just happened.

"What the hell! Are the Shirai family all monsters? That Shirai Tsukuyomi, and now this Shirai Kuroko, damn it."

Arriving at a secluded alley, Tsuchiya Danji dialed the contact person's phone.

"This is A001, calling M000. After confirming the code, report the current situation."

However, Tsuchiya Danji only heard a series of gunshots and a mature woman's voice.

"Using children to risk their lives while you hide in a safe place and watch the show, how noble of you." It was the voice of Aizawa Aiho leading the raid on the "Science Club."

Tsuchiya Danji was somewhat panicked. Without a group with the technology and knowledge to receive the debris, taking the debris would be useless.

In a panic, Tsuchiya Danji dragged the suitcase down the street, not knowing where to go.

"What should I do? What should I do?"

At this moment, a white-haired, black-clothed boy appeared in front of Tsuchiya Danji.

"Shirai... Tsukuyomi." Tsuchiya Danji still had some impression of this boy; it was she who had taken Shirai Tsukuyomi to meet Aleister.

"The Level 5 who defeated Accelerator, the strongest in Academy City. There's no way to win... impossible to face him head-on!"

Tsuchiya Danji was not surprised that Shirai Tsukuyomi had intervened. Whether it was because of what she had done to Shirai Kuroko today or because of his past involvement in stopping the experiments, either could be a reason for his appearance.

As for why she had attacked Shirai Kuroko despite knowing Shirai Tsukuyomi would appear, it was because she was planning to leave Academy City after today, and with her abilities, she could still escape.

But she hadn't considered how much she knew as a "Guide." Even if Shirai Tsukuyomi didn't come, would Aleister let her go?

Shirai Tsukuyomi looked at the panicked Tsuchiya Danji, said nothing, and directly created a large number of ice spikes that rained down from the sky, covering the area with a deadly ice storm.

To escape, Tsuchiya Danji teleported herself several dozen meters away, but the range of the ice rain was too large. She would need to teleport at least three more times to leave the area, so she moved upward, intending to get above the ice rain.

Just after completing her second teleportation, Tsuchiya Danji, haunted by the shadow of her mistake two years ago, spat out a mouthful of bile. If she teleported again, she might not be able to hold on.

However, Shirai Tsukuyomi had already spread his ice wings and appeared in front of Tsuchiya Danji.

"Why did you do this? After working under the Chairman for so long, don't be so naive."

Upon hearing this, Tsuchiya Danji's pupils dilated. She suddenly realized that knowing too much could lead to death, and even more so if you tried to leave after knowing too much.

With one punch, Shirai Tsukuyomi shattered the suitcase Tsuchiya Danji was using as a shield, sending fragments of the circuit board flying. Then, he struck Tsuchiya Danji's neck with a hand knife, knocking her unconscious.

After bringing Tsuchiya Danji to the ground, Shirai Tsukuyomi handed her over to Tsuchimikado Motoharu, who had been sent by Aleister. Tsuchiya Danji still had some use for Aleister.

Of course, this time, neither Shirai Tsukuyomi nor Tsuchimikado Motoharu said anything. Unlike Ezel, this time it was Aleister himself who had intervened, and Shirai Tsukuyomi couldn't make another request for a GROUP.

Then, Shirai Tsukuyomi turned around and looked at the white-haired figure who had just appeared.

"Accelerator."

"Since I've come out, you won't let me go back without doing anything, right? First One!?"

Silence... then the two charged at each other!

A huge sound echoed through half the district!

Shirai Tsukuyomi wrapped his body in multiple layers of ice to avoid direct contact with Accelerator. Even if his attacks were reflected, the force would dissipate into the air with the shattered ice, and another layer of ice would cover Shirai Tsukuyomi's body.

Accelerator, on the other hand, was even less worried. As long as he didn't use his full computational power, it would be difficult for Shirai Tsukuyomi to hurt him without using special abilities.

Another collision, and the shockwave shattered the glass of the high-rise buildings on both sides. Then, the two separated, and the battle temporarily stopped.

Accelerator's expression was somewhat manic; he was still unwilling to accept being defeated by Shirai Tsukuyomi.

Shirai Tsukuyomi, on the other hand, was somewhat disheveled. His ice armor had shattered, and he had taken a slight disadvantage in the direct collision.

Even though being reflected by Accelerator couldn't harm Shirai Tsukuyomi, the force of the air currents was entirely borne by Shirai Tsukuyomi, and he couldn't direct the air currents back at Accelerator.

Frost spread, and Shirai Tsukuyomi intended to turn the area into his domain. The high-rise buildings on both sides and behind them were sealed off by walls of ice, making it seem as if they were in the Arctic or Antarctic rather than Academy City.

Accelerator stomped his foot.

The ground cracked, the wind howled, and all the objects on the street were manipulated by Accelerator to rush at Shirai Tsukuyomi with tremendous kinetic energy.

In response, Shirai Tsukuyomi created countless ice pillars to block these objects, and frost spread over them, turning the entire area white. The temperature gradually dropped.

Accelerator looked at this white world and smiled, then stomped his foot again. The ice on the ground shattered under the immense force, and the fragments were manipulated by Accelerator to fly at Shirai Tsukuyomi. However, the ice was halfway there when Shirai Tsukuyomi reversed the control, sending the ice back at Accelerator. The ice hit Accelerator, turned into ice crystals, and disappeared into the air.

"Enough!" Just as the two were about to continue, Tsuchimikado Motoharu stepped forward.

"The Chairman has spoken; let's end it here."

In an instant, the white world vanished, and everything returned to Academy City. Shirai Tsukuyomi still couldn't openly defy Aleister; his friends, family, and lover were all within Aleister's control, and he was helpless.

Seeing that Shirai Tsukuyomi didn't want to fight anymore, Accelerator turned and left. He still had to protect Last Order, and protecting someone with no powerful abilities in this city was better than confronting Aleister directly.

Tsuchimikado Motoharu also breathed a sigh of relief. Were these two even human? The aftereffects of their battle were almost as powerful as his full-strength attacks... probably.

In the end, the matter was resolved. However, what Misaka Mikoto and Shirai Kuroko thought after learning that Shirai Tsukuyomi had resolved the situation remained unknown.
