"Very good, new data is being transmitted continuously. Abandoning Menggefei Company to exchange for more specific ability data on Tokiwadai Students is a very profitable trade-off."
The bald director placed his expectations on the higher-ups, little knowing that the higher-ups had already treated Menggefei Company as a discarded pawn, much like a lizard would voluntarily sever its own tail to survive.
Just as the higher-ups were leisurely implementing the lizard tail-cutting plan, the wall beside them was suddenly cut open by something sharp, and in the shocked gaze of everyone, Sekikura Rei leisurely jumped in from the outside.
"What, Sekikura Rei?!"
The high-level Researcher's pupils dilated in shock. He had previously been muttering to himself about why he hadn't seen the leader of the Sashikura faction, never expecting that she would have directly fought her way here.
"I can only say she is truly the Tokiwadai Young Lady among Tokiwadai young ladies, the talented lady among socialites, to be able to achieve this, but..."
The high-level Researcher took a step back, and countless private armed forces, superior to those of Menggefei Company, rushed out to protect him tightly.
These men in black wore various technological armaments, each of which could exert Level 3 power, and the overall assessment of the full set was no less than a Level 4 Great Ability User.
"Daring to break in here alone, have you overestimated your combat power too much? As long as you are eliminated, my side will still be a safe area!!!"
Looking at the suppression in numbers, Sekikura Rei did not show the slightest sign of fear. As the saying goes, a fake is a fake; she had sufficient confidence in her own strength.
Moreover...
"Sekihana Senpai, should I make a move?"
Mikoto walked in leisurely through the hole in the wall opened by Sashikura. She looked at the private armed forces inside who were attempting to use numbers to suppress them, and simply extended a finger to point at herself.
The moment that high-level Researcher saw Mikoto, he was almost scared enough to fall onto his butt.
"Level 5 Misaka..."
He stuttered and let out a trembling sound. The surrounding private armed forces protecting the high-level Researcher did not recognize Mikoto, simply thinking it was just one more enemy.
Countless tough ribbons and sharp bone spurs shot out from the technological armaments on their bodies. Sekikura Rei flicked her arm lightly, and a heavy spherical mass of liquid took in the ribbons and bone spurs before slamming heavily onto the ground.
Subsequently, several spherical masses of liquid were generated on the spot and rushed towards these private armed forces. Perhaps because the equipment judged them to have no harmful threat, these private armed forces did not choose to dodge and instead took the hit squarely.
Generally speaking, the more precise a machine is, the easier it is for it to be completely destroyed by seemingly small problems like short-circuiting when meeting water or missing parts, but these private armed forces did not.
"My ability is [Hydrogen Element Combination]. Manipulating water is easy for me. It's not just about changing the form and structure; the so-called four cycles of water, from magnetic refrigeration to the Peltier effect, can all be applied at will..."
Sekikura Rei explained the application of her ability with a faint smile. It seemed like these words were just nonsense to stall for time, but in reality, they were like the declaration of a reaper's judgment.
She just snapped her fingers lightly, and the temperature of the liquid on the private armed forces dropped rapidly, turning into unbreakable ice that stopped the machinery from running, stiffened their bodies, and put their lives in jeopardy.
[Total Quantum Solidification]
"The range that general instruments can withstand is around minus 20 degrees Celsius. Even the limit for military instruments is at most minus 100 degrees Celsius. I only froze the armor itself. Of course, if you continue to resist, I don't mind freezing your flesh."
Sekikura Rei used absolute strength to prove that she was one of those existences standing at the peak of Level 4. The few remaining private armed forces saw this and couldn't help but set their target on Mikoto, wondering if they could turn Mikoto into their hostage.
"Hmm?"
Mikoto instantly discovered the intention of these private armed forces. As those ribbons and bone spurs shot towards her, they were forcibly intercepted by an electromagnetic barrier before they could land on Mikoto.
"There are only a few left, leave them to me!"
Mikoto raised her arm, and several high-voltage currents hit the remaining few private armed forces straight on. Following a spasm-like trembling of their bodies, they each fell vertically to the ground in an attention position.
"So scary..."
Sekikura Rei muttered softly, indicating that the more she knew about Mikoto, the more she could feel the terror of Mikoto's power.
If the two of them really fought... Sashikura thought about it for a moment, then quickly shook her head to forcibly dispel this idea. Regardless of the outcome, she did not want her body to take a hit from an electric shock.
She glanced left and right, only to find that the high-level Researcher was nowhere to be seen. She recalled slightly and realized that she hadn't seen that guy since Mikoto appeared.
Scared away, huh? His movements are really fast.
"Should we chase him? No, forget it, leaving the rest to the Security Team should be fine." Sekikura Rei said while looking at the large-scale calculators that were still running around them.
Mikoto, however, had her eyes closed and her head slightly lowered. At her level, the world she could see using electromagnetic induction was far broader than what her eyes could see.
"Sister, seems to have come too..."
On the street below the institution building, the Researcher got into an armored vehicle heading to another research building. He believed that as long as he was fast enough, he still had a chance to transfer the dangerous data that would be targeted by the Security Officer through other large-scale computers.
"Drive faster!!!"
"Boss, I've already floored the gas pedal!"
The driver stepped on the gas pedal frantically, but the armored vehicle showed no signs of moving forward as it had before. The wheels of the armored vehicle were spinning rapidly, which made the two people in the car feel a intense sense of abnormality.
"C-could it be?!"
The Researcher suddenly looked back at the rear of the armored vehicle, only to see a young girl standing there quietly. The Researcher was so scared that he scrambled and jumped out of the car.
It turned out that the wheels of the armored vehicle were not in contact with the ground at all; the entire armored vehicle was hovering in the air at a slight height.
After the Researcher jumped off the armored vehicle, it began to rise gradually. The driver in the driver's seat panicked, unbuckled his seatbelt, and jumped off regardless of the height which had already risen several meters.
Manipulating gravity instead of magnetism, the Researcher instantly recognized through the ability whether the Misaka in front of him was Mikoto or Chinatsu.
Chinatsu's raised hand fell casually. The armored vehicle in the air, without the support of gravity, fell vertically to the ground and was smashed into countless pieces of iron, and sparks were ignited from the armored vehicle.
"Good luck, now I don't need to go upstairs."
