Chapter 168 - Chapter 160 - Catch Awaki

Touma moved Kotori into the hotel room where Mikoto stayed the night before right behind Kuroko and without Kuroko realizing. While Touma himself chose to wait around the hotel in case Awaki Musujine could escape from Kotori or Kuroko. And this time Touma chose not to interfere directly with the problem currently in front of him.

Because the problem he currently has to face is within the authority of Kotori and Kuroko who are members of Judgement.

So Touma doesn't want to interfere in dealing with Awaki unless Kotori and Kuroko need his help.

Moreover, Touma wanted to know whether Kotori had progressed in her fighting ability or whether Kotori's fighting ability had not improved at all because Kotori's busy schedule in judging meant that Kotori had no time at all for training.

Touma wants to test Kotori's abilities, because if Kotori's fighting abilities decrease then that would be something dangerous.

Because as part of the Kamijou family and the grandson of Hiko Seijuro XIII, danger will always come to her.

So the ability to protect yourself is something you must have. And if Kotori's fighting ability decreases then it is Touma's obligation to retrain Kotori so that Kotori's fighting ability returns to its peak.

Because Touma simply couldn't accept that her younger brother would become weak and die due to lack of training.

Touma himself has asked Motoharu for help to gather the information he needs to find out which group Awaki Musujime is collaborating with.

And finally Touma finds out that Awaki is collaborating with the Science Syndicate or Science Association.

Motoharu himself couldn't find much information about the organization, but what is clear is that Touma has given a report about the Science Syndicate to Hiko and Touma will leave Hiko in charge of the Science Syndicate.

"C-chief h-how did you suddenly get behind me," Kuroko said who had just realized that Kotori was now behind her. "I didn't hear anyone come into this room at all!"

"Hmm? Onii-chan who sent me into this room used teleportation at the same level as a level 5 Teleporter. That's why you couldn't even notice that I had come," Kotori said who explained how she entered the room to Kotori casually. "And you know what's the funniest thing about the teleport that Onii-chan uses? He got that teleport power from you after he imitated your teleport power using his Empathy Mimicry."

One of the facts that makes Kuroko not like Touma at all apart from Mikoto love Touma is because of Touma's ability as a Gemstone Esper which makes him able to imitate any kind of Esper ability. And uses that ability for himself at a higher level than the original user.

Kuroko knew that the distance Touma could travel with the teleport ability he copied from her was many times farther than the distance she could reach. Something she would never be able to do because her Esper abilities could no longer be increased beyond Level 4.

That's why she feels jealous of Touma who doesn't need to be a guinea pig from Academy City or do complicated calculations and calculations to use his Esper abilities but can get whatever Esper powers he wants.

"So Kuroko, how is Awaki's condition?" Kotori asked. "Is she still in her room and resting, to recover from the wounds on her body. Or is she currently preparing to leave this hotel?"

***

"She's still resting in her room, because of the wounds she got from her fight with Onee-Sama.."Right now, if we want, we can go straight into her room and arrest Awaki," Kuroko answered with a serious facial expression because she knew that right now she didn't have time to think about Touma because she still had work to do. "So chief, what should we do now?"

"There's no need for small talk, it's better if we just go straight into her room and catch her, we also don't need to be afraid that she will run away from the window because outside there is Onii-chan who will catch Awaki if she tries to escape through the window," Kotori said in a firm tone. "I won't let someone who would do something as dangerous as Awaki get away."

Kuroko and Kotori then came out of the room previously occupied by Mikoto. And they walked quickly towards the room where Awaki was currently resting.

Kotori opened the door to Awaki's room which was not locked at all, then she said;

"Awaki Musujime, based on the authority I have as head of Judgment branch 177 I will arrest you on charges of carrying the fragments of the Tree Diagram satellite which is property belonging to Academy City."

Awaki didn't look surprised when Kotori and Kuroko appeared in front of her room. Because zhe had predicted that sooner or later someone would find her. Moreover, she had also prepared herself in case an enemy attacked her while she was recovering.

"So Academy City wants to arrest me because I got one of their most valuable items, huh? I'm sorry but I have no intention of coming with you two!"

Awaki put her left hand under the pillow shhe was using, then she pointed a small flashlight that she usually used to use Movement Point towards Kotori and Kuroko.

***

Suddenly above Kuroko and Kotori's heads appeared the bed that Awaki had been sleeping on. But the bed was instantly burned to ashes thanks to the flame shield surrounding Kotori's body.

Awaki gritted her teeth when she saw her attack fail. But Awaki didn't want to just give up, she pointed her small flashlight again at Kuroko and a large vase made of ceramic appeared and was about to fall on Kuroko's head. But Kuroko quickly dodged by using teleport and appeared right in front of Awaki and was about to stab Awaki using the thick needle that she usually used as her main weapon.

But Awaki moved faster than Kuroko so Kuroko's attack was avoided by Awaki. It's just that Awaki forgot about Kotori's existence, so when she managed to dodge all of Kuroko's attacks. Awaki was unable to dodge several small fireballs that Kotori threw at her.

The fireball succeeded in causing Awaki to suffer burns, and the new burns on her body made Awaki feel very angry. She then moved a chair with an iron frame over Kotori's head. Kotori knew she would need a very hot fire to reduce the chair to ashes, and she couldn't use a fire that hot in a cramped hotel room. That's why Kotori only used her feet to kick the chair so it wouldn't hit her head.

Awaki, who saw that her efforts had failed, knew that she was currently in a dangerous situation, where she had to face two people. And she knew that he had to use a backup plan if she wanted to escape the situation she was currently in.
