I kidnapped Crowley!

Chapter 202 Academy City

In the western part of Tokyo, Japan, there is a metropolis called Academy City.

The city is divided into 23 school districts, with a population of 2.3 million, of which more than 1.8 million are students, so there are more than a dozen universities and hundreds of high schools, middle schools, and elementary schools. Among the nearly 500,000 non-student population, most are researchers, teachers, and security guards. This personnel composition also makes the city's scientific level 20 to 30 years ahead of the world.

However, ordinary scientific research results are just by-products here. What is really studied here is supernatural abilities!

Students acquire abilities through drugs, hypnosis, and electrical stimulation.

People with special abilities are divided into six levels.

Incapable person LV0: Unable to measure or the effect is extremely weak.

Low-ability LV1: Can barely bend a spoon, which is basically of no help in daily life.

Psychic Level 2: Slightly more useful than Level 1.

Powerful user LV3: Can be utilized and brought convenience in daily life.

Level 4 of a powerful person: The degree to which one demonstrates tactical value in the army.

Psychic Level 5: Able to fight against an army alone.

Absolute Ability Level 6: The highest level that exists in theory, but no one has reached it yet.

"Okay, that's all for today's class. I believe everyone has a good understanding of Academy City. I hope everyone can develop powerful abilities in the future, just like the nine people with super powers. It doesn't matter if you are powerless. 60% of the students in Academy City are powerless. I wish you all a happy weekend."

After the teacher finished the lesson, he was about to leave, but at this time a blond child suddenly raised his hand, looking a little confused.

"Teacher, I read in the book that there are only seven people with super powers, right?"

The teacher was in a hurry to get off work, so he just gave a casual explanation.

"Have you reviewed the old textbooks in advance? But the new textbooks have nine digits. You can buy the latest magazine for details."

After school, the blond child walked home with his head down, and a little fat boy caught up with him, holding a magazine in his hand.

"How about it? Want to see it? Copy the homework for me and I'll show it to you. It has the latest ranking of superpowers, but unfortunately only a few have pictures."

The yellow-haired boy nodded without hesitation. He admired the strong the most!

The fat boy handed the magazine to the little boy with blond hair. The little boy read it as he walked. The fat boy seemed to have heard some gossip and said, "I heard that some people with super powers were seen in combat, some were tested to be LV5 during physical examinations, and some were discovered secretly by the management. The two newest super powers were suddenly added in, and no one knows how they were tested."

After flipping through more than a dozen pages of beach swimsuits, the blond boy finally saw the "latest information on superpowers."

First place: Accelerator

Second place: Shangguan Yuhe, Omni Vision

Third place: Kakine Teito, Dark Matter

Fourth place: Misaka Mikoto, Railgun

Fifth place: Krulu Tsepesi, Bloodweaver

6th place: Mugino Shiori, Atomic Collapse "Meltdowner"

7th place: Shokuhou Misaki, Mental Out

8th place: Lan Huayue, Ideal Radio

No. 9: Sogiita Gunha, telekinetic cannonball "Attack Crash"

These are the titles given to these people with super powers. Some of the titles are the same as their abilities, while some are related to their abilities. However, the abilities of people with super powers are considered to be secrets that are not too confidential, so even the magazines do not publish the specific ability information of these guys. However, the abilities of star students like Misaka Mikoto and Shokuhou Misaki have long been studied by fanatical fans.

Huangmao looked at the new ranking and was a little surprised.

"The new guy actually took away the second and fifth places?! Looking at their names, one sounds Chinese and the other sounds European. The teacher is right. There is no shortage of geniuses in the world!"

The fat boy didn't care much about the ranking and licked the lollipop.

"Well, if it weren't for the fact that there wouldn't be any unregistered residents in Academy City, we probably wouldn't even know their names. They were able to be listed here all of a sudden, so they must have settled down in Academy City."

Just as the two were discussing the latest rankings, a roar came from behind them.

"Little boy! Be careful!"

The two turned around and saw a middle-aged man wearing a hood rushing towards them with a dagger in his hand.

The blond kid and the fat boy were so frightened that they stood there in a daze, watching a pair of huge hands about to grab them.

"Just grab a little kid as a hostage!"

But just as he was about to grab the yellow-haired kid, an nimble figure appeared out of nowhere beside the gangster and gave him a clean kick. The gangster was kicked in the head and flew into an alley nearby.

"Ah, that hurts! Asshole!"

The gangster held his head and howled miserably, but still managed to stand up and ran into the alley.

At this time, the blond child saw clearly the figure who saved him. The person was a girl with brown hair and twin ponytails. She was wearing the uniform of Tokiwadai Girls' Junior High School and had an armband on her arm that read "Discipline Committee Member".

"Kid, are you okay?"

"Ah, I'm fine! Big sister, go catch the bad guy! He's trying to run away!"

Shirai Kuroko straightened up and looked in the direction the criminals fled with a determined look in his eyes.

"Don't worry, leave it to me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared from the spot, leaving the passers-by in surprise.

As a member of the Discipline Committee, Kuroko Shirai's main responsibility is to maintain order in Academy City.

She saw the gangster turn a corner and immediately teleported, but when she finished teleporting, she found the gangster lying on the ground holding his legs and screaming.

In front of the gangster stood a pink-haired girl with two ponytails. Some of her hair was still loose behind her back. She had an enviable amount of hair. She looked European and was wearing a black and white sweatshirt.

It's really beautiful. This was Shirai Kuroko's first reaction. After a pause, she shook her head and thought to herself: Although it's beautiful, it's still far inferior to my elder sister! It must be this girl who stopped the gangster.

Shirai Kuroko nodded to the girl: "Thank you."

Normally when they are performing missions, there are often kind people with special abilities who come to help, and she doesn't find it strange.

The girl nodded and walked out of the alley.

Shirai Kuroko turned his attention back to the criminal and took out the handcuffs.

"You have caused quite a bit of trouble. Please come back with me to accept your punishment."

She is already very familiar with this kind of thing. She has to deal with a lot of things every day, such as people with special abilities abusing their abilities and unemployed vagrants who steal petty things. They are all her targets.

Almost all of these unemployed vagrants have heard about the super powers in Academy City, so they, who have accomplished nothing, came here with hope and at the cost of all their money, but they were deemed to have no powers and could only wander around Academy City.

Just as she was about to handcuff the gangster, she suddenly felt someone patting her shoulder. When she turned around, it was the girl.

"Hello, what's the matter?"

"Do you know where the nearest coffee shop is?"

Shirai Kuroko didn't expect that the girl spoke very standard Japanese. After being slightly surprised, she answered patiently.

"Oh, turn left from the alley, walk a hundred meters and cross the road and you will see it."

"Thank you."

The girl thanked him and turned to leave.

Shirai Kuroko also turned around and handcuffed the gangster. Only then did she realize that the gangster's legs were injured. No wonder he didn't run away while she was talking.

"Two holes appeared on the leg, but only on one side. What kind of ability is this? A lot of blood flowed."

After looking at the injuries of the criminal, Shirai Kuroko pressed the headset.

"Uiharu-san, please send someone to take this guy away. His leg is injured."

The voice of Hatsuharu Shikiri came from the headset.

"I understand! Kuroko-san, you're not hurt, are you?"

"I'm fine. An international student helped me. Although I'm more than capable of dealing with such an incompetent criminal on my own."

The reproachful voice of Hatsuharu Shikiri came through the headset.

"Really? Even ordinary people have to be treated with caution!"

Shirai Kuroko smiled awkwardly.

"Okay, I know I was wrong."

……

Krululu walked out of the alley and quickly found a coffee shop following Shirai Kuroko's instructions.

As soon as she entered the coffee shop, she saw two handsome white-haired boys sitting at a table, one with an impatient look on his face, and the other smiling and waving at her.

Krululu walked over and sat down next to Shangguan Yuhe. The waiter came over and she casually ordered a latte.

"It's really hard to find. I almost got lost."

Shangguan Yuhe was wearing a purple hoodie. He smiled and said jokingly, "Who told you not to go out all day? You were like this before, and you still can't change it now?"

Crowley moved the sundae that Shangguan Yuhe had taken a few bites of to himself, took a bite with a spoon, and showed an expression of some enjoyment.

"Of course I won't go out unless it's something important. I'll come out as soon as you tell me."

"Tsk, I say, you dragged me out after talking for so long, just to sit in a coffee shop and chat?"

The other white-haired boy had a hoarse voice, but it was not unpleasant to hear. He had an impatient expression on his face, as if he was scolding the two for wasting his golden Friday.

Shangguan Yuhe looked magnanimous.

"Yi Fang, what you said is wrong. If I don't pull you along, you will just read books at home. I haven't seen you go to the long-distance machine academy for classes. You should embrace nature. Actually, it's okay if you don't want to sit and chat. I heard that many stores in the mall are having promotions recently. We can go shopping."

Accelerator was wearing a very recognizable gray and white striped shirt. Shangguan Yuhe testified that the old man just mostly wore this style of clothes and did not wear the same one all the time. He just curled his lips and took a sip of the coffee in the cup.

"Tsk, I'm not going."

The three of them sat and chatted for a while. Accelerator said he was not interested, but when his turn was called, he would still share some of his thoughts.

Shangguan Yuhe saw that Krullu and Accelerator were about to quarrel over some trivial matters, and neither of them would give in, so he hurried to stop them.

Two damn tsunderes!

He and Krul have been here for two months. A month ago, the two of them were taking a night drive and met an old man named Accelerator who was out for a stroll. At that time, Accelerator had just dealt with a powerful person who challenged him, and saw Shangguan Yuhe and Krul looking at him with interest, so he thought they were also challengers.

However, after the actual fight, he found that he had no way to defeat Shangguan Yuhe. Of course, Shangguan Yuhe was also unable to break his defense, and the game ended in a draw. Krul did not join the fight at all.

Afterwards, Shangguan Yuhe left the field and was replaced by Krul. As soon as the battle started, he found that the blood in his body began to become agitated and then began to flow backwards. He could only use part of his computing power to offset Krul's ability and restore the blood in his body to normal. Then he discovered another problem. His brain could keep up with Krul's speed, but his eyes could not!

Accelerator could only passively defend the entire time, but fortunately, Krul still couldn't break through his defense.

Just like that, the two sides became acquainted with each other through fighting. After that, Shangguan Yuhe often came to visit. At first, Accelerator was a little annoyed, but later he got used to it. Shangguan Yuhe and Krul became friends that Accelerator did not acknowledge.

In Academy City, there are about 50 million nano-machine "hover loops" that exist in every corner of Academy City. Therefore, the battle between Shangguan Yuzuru, Krul and Accelerator was fully known to the Unified Council, and a ranking of superpowers was given based on the AIM diffusion field and combat performance.

Ding bell~

The doorbell rang and another customer entered the coffee shop. This customer was wearing a black suit and trousers, a black hat, a pair of sunglasses, and had a thin build.

Shangguan Yuhe was sitting right in front of the gate. He was stunned when he saw the outfit. He immediately thought of a certain winery, but when he looked at Accelerator sitting opposite him, he was sure that he had not traveled through the wrong place.

When the man in the suit saw Shangguan Yuhe's table, he quickly quickened his pace and walked over. As he walked, he took out his business card, walked up to the three people, and introduced himself directly.

"Good afternoon, everyone. Let me introduce myself. I am representing the General Council. I would like to ask Mr. Shangguan and Ms. Tsepesi something. I would also like to discuss a cooperation with Mr. Yifang."

Accelerator looked displeased, didn't even look at him, and said rudely.

"Shut up! You've been nagging for so long before I even started talking. Get lost!"

"This……"

The man in the suit felt a little embarrassed for a moment. It was the first time that he saw someone not giving face to the board of directors. He gritted his teeth and spoke to Shangguan Yuhe and Krulu.

"Well... we found out that you two only arrived in Academy City two months ago, and there are no..."

Shangguan Yuhe raised his hand to interrupt.

"Stop, I know what you want to do. You just want to know our abilities. We will participate in the next regular test."

Crowley ignored the man and didn't respond.

"Since... in that case, let's talk again when you three are free."

The man in the suit was embarrassed and walked away with a red face.

Shangguan Yuhe's abilities are taken from the five magic eyes in "The Legend of the Legendary Hero":

Copy Eyes: Directly analyze and learn the magic you have seen, and even create your own magic after becoming familiar with it.

Eyes of Annihilation: It can devour magic and render it ineffective, and it can also devour living things and restore itself, and it has a physique far superior to that of an ordinary human.

Dream Eyes: Being able to peek into other people’s dreams while sleeping.

Future Eye: Able to see future scenes.

Eyes of Resentment: A curse ability that causes the opponent to suffer negative effects such as weakness, chaos, and misfortune.

Shangguan Yuhe decided to reveal the ability of the Annihilation Eye only to the council. The Annihilation Eye was optimized after entering "A Certain Magical Index". It can absorb not only magic, but also any energy state, and even signals such as brain waves.
