"Let's do that one. I have never lost at this game!"
Mikoto's face is full of confidence. First of all, she had the option to cheat if she was losing, ensuring her victory.
Secondly, after constantly playing games, her skills have long been tempered. It can be said that the one who is most obsessed with arcade games in Academy City is none other than Mikoto. Asahi even suspected that Mikoto came to the game center to gather game coins, as she often used them to unleash her Railgun attack.
Mikoto had been growing more confident in her gaming skills, but after the first round, she fell into deep contemplation.
She stared at the screen, utterly dumbfounded. The character she controlled hadn't even touched Asahi's character before they were obliterated by his incredibly stylish combo.
This defeat was truly miserable, peculiar, and brutal. Since she had honed her skills, this was the first time she had been defeated so miserably. The last time she was beaten this badly was probably when she first started playing games.
But this time, it was just too cruel, with her being instantly taken out by a stylish combo. She was left questioning herself.
"Do you still want to continue?"
Asahi looked at Mikoto, who had already begun to doubt life, and asked amusedly. He wondered if she would resort to cheating by this point.
"Come on, let's continue! I don't believe I will lose again!"
Mikoto's stubbornness flared up, and she started another round. Several minutes later, after seeing the familiar 'you lose' message on the screen once more, Mikoto fell into deep suspicion about life, as she has lost ten times in a row.
And most importantly, after ten games, the character controlled by Asahi had not lost a single bit of health. It was like a top-tier player facing off against a complete beginner, the gap was simply insurmountable.
"Impossible, let's play again! This time, I will definitely win!"
Mikoto made a decision this time, and that was to cheat. So, a new round began.
This time, it was Asahi's turn to be speechless. It's because the character controlled by Mikoto has already been transformed into a super powerhouse.
In this game, it doesn't matter how skillful your actions are, as there is a limit to the character's movement speed and actions.
Even if you cancel recovery animations or other similar mechanics, there's still a limit to how fast a character can perform actions, and Asahi had pushed the limits to the extreme, achieving a level that no one could match.
However, Mikoto is different.
She used her abilities to directly control the in-game characters, allowing them to break free from these limitations.
For example, while others could deliver two punches in one second, Mikoto could now deliver ten punches in the same time frame. This applied to movement speed and other aspects as well.
The result was akin to watching a chaotic, over-the-top fighting video, with characters moving as if they had gone insane.
Despite Mikoto cheating, Asahi still managed to whittle down half of her character's health without resorting to cheating himself.
Seeing she finally won, Mikoto's face flushed with excitement.
"How about that? I said I would win this time, right!"
At this moment, Mikoto was beaming with pride, much like a triumphant rooster.
"If someone else had played against you, you would probably have been reported to the manager by now!"
Asahi's mouth twitched. Mikoto is always a little natural airhead and a touch of moe in some inexplicable places. For example, now, with her character turned chaotic and bizarre, most people would have recognized that something was off.
"I… I, no matter what, I still won!"
Mikoto blushed again, and this time with shyness. Now that she thinks about what she did before, her thin skin couldn't save her from this embarrassment. Once her tsundere side emerged, she turned into her usual self.
"Yes, yes, you won this time. So, do you want to continue?"
Asahi asked.
"Of course, we've only been here for a few minutes!"
After saying that, Mikoto took Asahi to play other games, but no surprise, as long as it is a competitive type, Mikoto can't win without cheating, which makes Mikoto very helpless.
So afterwards, she cheated all the way to the end, but after winning a lot of times, she gradually got used to it, and became less shy about itx.
On the other side, Kuroko, who had just finished her work, returned to her dormitory.
But after seeing that Mikoto was not in the dormitory at this time, her first thought was the manga shop.
But when she arrived at the manga shop and didn't find Mikoto there either, she began to feel anxious.
She attempted to call her, but the noise in the game center drowned out Mikoto's phone sound. As a result, Kuroko's mind started to conjure various speculations.
For example, Mikoto was in danger or was kidnapped.
Of course, this kind of picture was directly wiped out after it appeared. Who is Mikoto? She can turn into lightning at any time and anywhere, and she is also a level 5 Esper. When it came to danger, she was more than capable of handling it.
Nevertheless, Kuroko soon returned to the Judgment's office and found Kazari, who was working with a computer.
"Kazari, I need your help again. Can you locate Onee-sama for me?"
Kuroko suspected that Mikoto might not be answering her calls or returning them because she might be in trouble. The thought alone made her lungs feel as if they were about to explode, and her heart raced.
"You want to use this method to find Misaka-senpai again?"
Kazari is a little speechless, obviously this is not the first time Kuroko has asked her this.
"Please, I'll treat you to the super deluxe ice cream from that new ice cream parlor later."
Kuroko directly threw a tempting offer, and after hearing this, Kazari became serious in an instant.
"No problem, watch me!"
The thought of the super deluxe ice cream made Uiharu Kazari's mouth water, and with that temptation, her motivation was ignited.
After a frenzy of typing on the keyboard, Kazari managed to infiltrate Academy City's surveillance system and found Mikoto's location.
"She is actually with Asahi-senpai. Is this a date? But if it's a date, why are they at the game center?"
Kazari is a little confused. When a man and a woman were alone together, she couldn't think of any reason other than a date.
But this date was at a game center, which was quite unusual.
"Onee-sama and Onii-sama went on a date? Well, a game center does seem to fit Onee-sama's style. No, I can't miss out on this kind of opportunity!"
Kuroko's expression turned serious.
