"Isn't it too cheating? With such an ability, he's practically invincible!"
Ruiko expressed her astonishment, and of course, Mikoto and others shared the same sentiment, as this ability is indeed too much.
"It's not as simple as that. He can only nullify someone's ability when he touches them. Otherwise, there's nothing he can do."
"Not to mention, there are many ways to restrain him. There are several Espers who can do it, and even Mikoto can. While he can eliminate abilities, he can't erase the effects of those abilities."
"Mikoto's current abilities would allow her to create a massive ball out of iron sand. In this case, by dropping it directly on him, even if he touches it and nullifies the ability, he would still be buried by the iron sand."
"There is also the physical enhancement-type Esper. After strengthening themselves, if they rush over, even if their ability is nullified on contact, the impact will still exist. And there are still many ways to deal with him."
"Furthermore, due to this ability, he can't awaken any powers himself, and even his own luck has been negated. The daily misfortunes he accumulates would make an ordinary person despair. And the fact that he's even alive is a miracle!"
Asahi shared some embarrassing stories about Touma, leaving the other girls somewhat stunned.
They couldn't help but mourn for Touma for a few seconds. After all, his situation is really pitiful.
It's like that day when Touma came to the manga book store and left. He experienced another tragedy after leaving, as the Black Bullet manga itself is a source of depression.
This could be seen as a kind of misfortune, and after that day, when Touma came to the manga shop, he would always pick up the depressing manga.
Whether it was Demon Slayer, Attack on Titan, or even magical girl series, as long as they had a depressing theme, he read them all.
During that period, Touma even almost developed a phobia towards manga. But this was also something that could not be helped, after all, who told him to be so unlucky that he would choose those manga?
"I don't want that kind of ability even if it were offered to me for free. While I do crave ability, this one is just too bizarre!"
Ruiko couldn't help but shudder. She was really scared by such ability, after all, it was too miserable. Even she, who had always longed for abilities, would outright reject such a power. This ability is simply too much to handle.
"By the way, what about the other urban legends?"
At this time, Mikoto directly changed the subject, and then Ruiko began to recount these other legends one by one.
"What the hell, there's even one about Eternal Life? That's too exaggerated!"
Kuroko found the story hard to believe, and the others were equally skeptical about the concept of Eternal Life. It sounded like a joke to them.
"This legend is also real, but it's a bit exaggerated. The so-called Eternal Life refers to a certain high school teacher. Due to an experiment she conducted in the past, his body remains in a childlike state, making her look like a little girl. She looks like an elementary school student now, but she is indeed a bona fide high school teacher."
Asahi's explanation left Kuroko stunned once again. She didn't expect this one was also true.
"Then, is the 'Strongest Legend' also real?"
Kuroko asked again.
"Of course, the 'Strongest Legend' refers to Accelerator, who currently holds the number one rank among Level 5 Espers. His ability is vector manipulation. Since you're all well-educated, I don't need to explain this ability, right?"
As soon as Jin Yang mentioned vector manipulation, everyone collectively sucked in cold breath.
In fact, this ability itself wasn't what made Accelerator so formidable, instead, it was his computational abilities. Without those, this ability would be useless.
But these individuals were all aware of the situation in Academy City. If someone had reached Level 5, it meant they were invincible. There was no suspense in that regard.
"No wonder he ranked first. With an ability like that combined with his computational skills, who can even stand a chance against him?"
Even Mikoto could only give a wry smile. After all, Accelerator's ability is too powerful.
"So, you're saying that all these urban legends are real?"
Kuroko asked in disbelief.
"Of course, and they are also related to you. For example, this internet guardian of Academy City refers to Uiharu, and the wind turbines undergoing anomalies while spinning refer to Mikoto. As her abilities would cause such phenomena when they are activated."
Asahi provided a brief explanation, and at this point, Ruiko's spirit perked up.
"Then, this Level Upper that can improve abilities is also real?"
Ruiko desperately desires to have her own ability and envied those Espers, but sometimes, the world could be so unfair. That's why she hadn't awakened any abilities herself.
If the Level Upper is also true, then can she use it to enhance her own ability?
"Of course, but I don't recommend you to use it. After all, although this thing does not cause much substantial damage, it will still make you comatose in bed for a period of time. As for when I can wake up, that's uncertain."
"I heard that recently, this thing has left those who used it in a coma!"
Asahi's warning left the others stunned.
"So it's true! Then, some very strange comatose patients that have appeared in the hospital recently… they used this thing, right?"
Suddenly, both Kazari and Kuroko became excited. Recently, issues like the Graviton Bombings and various other concerns had been a source of great stress for them. This included the mysterious comatose patients.
"Of course, in addition, I can give you a piece of information. The Level Upper is an audio file!"
Asahi provided some further explanation, and the two who received this information were once again pleasantly surprised.
"That's great! Finally, there is some progress. I didn't expect to gain such valuable information this time. Onii-sama, you're really something!"
Kuroko directly gave a thumbs up to Asahi, however, at that moment, Kazari noticed a bank that was closed.
"Why is the bank closed during the day?"
Realizing that something was amiss, Kazari suddenly asked this question, and the others immediately turned their attention to the bank.
As if it was to cater to the group's attention, the rolling shutter door was instantly blown open. Following that, several individuals rushed out. They're clearly a gang of bank robbers.
"They're actually robbing the bank! Uiharu, immediately contact the others. I'll go after those bastards!"
After saying this, Kuroko teleported away from her current location. It was quite the unexpected turn of events for them to encounter such thing.
Asahi couldn't help but comment in his heart, 'The public safety in Academy City is indeed very trashy. How can such incidents occur regularly?'
