Above the darkened sky, countless storms transformed into violent flames, controlled by Accelerator, coalescing into a massive plasma ball that blotted out the sky.
Looking up at the sky at the crazed expression on Accelerator's face, Touma Kamijou raised his right hand.
A white, Chinese-style light sword appeared in his hand, faint ripples emanating from it.
Clutching the sword, Touma swung it forcefully at the enormous plasma ball descending from the sky.
"Phantom Killer Sword!"
The blade's light rose like a shimmering arc, tearing through the sky and slicing the plasma ball into nothingness.
Lowering his right hand that held the sword, Touma looked at the new power displayed on his status panel.

With a twitch at the corner of his mouth, Touma closed the attribute panel and looked upward with an expression that said, "I know nothing."
The descriptions on the panel seemed to be directly telling him that if he wanted a normal life, he was dreaming.
Ever since his constitution began awakening, Touma discovered that the Imagine Breaker he originally could only activate and deactivate was now capable of more variations. With the chat group's help, the power that used to reside in his body had completely fused within him.
After witnessing countless battles in Disboard, Touma decided to learn the way of the sword.
At this moment, with the sword formed from the Imagine Breaker in his hand, Touma lightly tapped the ground.
"Roar!!"
A golden dragon emerged beneath Touma, and standing on the dragon's head, Touma carried his sword as he flew towards Accelerator in the sky.
"Touma?!"
Misaki Shokuhou's starry eyes sparkled as she looked at Touma riding the dragon, feeling a mix of bewilderment and joy.
The hero who had once saved her was showing a new form today, right in front of her. With this newfound strength, he would no longer be the same as before—suffering severe injuries for the sake of saving others.
That thought alone filled Misaki's heart with joy, her face lighting up with a happy smile. She clasped her hands together, her eyes locked on Touma's figure.
"Go, Touma!"
Beside her, Misaka Mikoto held the now-sitting Misaka Sister 9928, her gaze silently fixed on Touma soaring into the sky.
Huddled in Misaka Mikoto's embrace, Misaka Sister 9928 murmured softly, "Misaka doesn't understand why someone would do this for Misaka. After all, Misaka was just manufactured by preparing the necessary equipment and medicines, generated at the press of a button, priced at 180,000 yen per unit."
"Misaka doesn't understand."
"Because you're not a product."
Hugging the confused Misaka Sister tightly, Misaka Mikoto said firmly, "All of you are real people, and you are all my sisters."
Looking up at the sky, Misaka Mikoto whispered, "I don't know why, but thank you, Touma Kamijou."
"Thank you for saving my sister, and thank you for saving me."
Behind her, a pair of hands that had just reached out to Misaka Mikoto stopped.
Kuroko Shirai looked down at her silently crying Onee-sama and gradually grew silent herself.
"Onee-sama..."
Biting her lip, Kuroko stood up and shouted at the sky, "Spiky-haired monkey! You have to win!"
"If you do, I might even let you borrow Onee-sama for a day!"
Crying at her own words, Kuroko lunged at the stunned Misaka Mikoto, crying, "Onee-sama! Wah, my Onee-sama!"
"Kuroko~!"
Catching the incoming Kuroko, Misaka Mikoto's hands clenched, her face flushed red as she shouted, "What are you even saying to me?!"
White lightning flashed, and a well-done Kuroko was the result.
Nearby, Misaka Sister 9982, who was still confused, suddenly understood, clenching her fist to show her comprehension.
Above in the sky, Touma scratched his head, ignoring what he had just heard.
Looking up at the stunned Accelerator, he said, "I'm here to fix your character, Accelerator."
"Impossible! Impossible!! Impossible!!!"
Accelerator shook his head in disbelief, staring at Touma.
"Who are you?! Why does Academy City have someone like you? I'm supposed to be the strongest!"
"Me?"
Waving the Phantom Killer Sword, Touma smiled and said, "I'm just a mere Level 0."
Lightly tapping the dragon's head beneath his feet, Touma flashed and appeared beside Accelerator, swinging his fist while Accelerator looked on in horror.
Bang!
Accelerator's body was sent flying, the nose that had finally stopped bleeding once again burst open.
Feeling the familiar pain and punch, Accelerator felt as though his entire being had ignited.
"Gagagaga!!!"
His lips trembled, the air violently oscillated, and Accelerator roared at Touma, "Even now, you still dare mock me?!"
"I am not mocking you. I am indeed just a Level 0."
Seeing Accelerator resemble a raging beast, Touma sighed softly, withdrawing the Phantom Killer Sword and clenching his fist. "I just recently managed to save the world, that's all."
"Saved the world?!"
"Hahahahaha!"
Laughing hysterically, Accelerator clutched his head. "I see! I see, a hero who saved the world, is it?!"
"So, this self-proclaimed weakest hero has come to punish the heinous villain, has he?!"
"Then!"
Raising his hands, Accelerator called forth a plasma ball so massive it illuminated the entire darkened sky. Holding his head, he panted heavily and said, "Hero, come and kill me!"
"No."
Shaking his head gently, Touma stood in the sky.
Lifting his right foot, a gentle breeze blew across his forehead.
On a meadow full of wildflowers, Touma looked at the powerless Accelerator standing dazedly, smiling. "Welcome to an ordinary daily life. I'm here to fix you, Accelerator."
Surrounded by warmth and sunshine, Accelerator felt his vanished power and smelled the scent of flowers in the air.
Turning to see Touma approaching, Accelerator muttered, "What is this?"
Raising his fist, Touma looked at the unresisting Accelerator and swung down.
Bang!
Once again, pain surged through his face, and Accelerator fell powerlessly to the ground. Without his abilities, how could he hope to win against someone whose body easily broke the sound barrier?
With a blue-black eye, Accelerator watched the blades of grass sway gently in the breeze, before becoming motionless.
"The villain's fate is always to be defeated by the hero, huh? Heh."
Seeing the fist looming before him again, Accelerator asked, "Why didn't you come sooner?"
Bang!
Blood splattered, dyeing Touma's fist red. Looking at the unconscious Accelerator, Touma withdrew the small world.
Standing on the golden dragon's head, Touma gazed up at the brilliant stars once again, carrying Accelerator as he flew downward.
"One day, you'll find something you want to protect too. When that day comes, if you don't have enough strength, come ask for my help."
"Even if I never forgive you, I'll still lend you a hand."
"Heh, a hero, huh?"
"Someone like me could never have anything worth protecting."
