last post apocalypse

"I, I can't do anything."

Kamijou stood up on his knees.

He is just a weak and pitiful C-level ability user. If Arturia or Theresa are still there, he must teach the guys behind to be human.

Kamijou calmed down and wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth: "But no matter what, why are you here, Misaka? Didn't we agree to contact by phone?!"

"Well, I'll explain it to you later."

Misaka Mikoto's eyes shifted a little, staggering from Kamijou's.

Chapter 54, enter the second game

Misaka Mikoto, who was controlling the gravity board, floated to the side of Kamijou and Asami Asami, and jumped from the air at half a person's height.

Then those rectangular electronic boards less than five centimeters flew back to the boardwalk by themselves, and merged with other gravitational boards.

"On the contrary, why did you participate in this competition?"

"Of course Mami is for the No.1 prize, but I was forced." Kamijou Touma spread his hands helplessly to Misaka Mikoto: "Mami asked me to participate in the competition."

"You mean I forced you?"

Mami's slightly cold voice came, and Kamijou felt as if an ice cube had been rubbed against his neck.

"No, no, I voluntarily!"

"kindness."

Asami nodded in satisfaction, and pushed Kamijou aside.

"Misaka, have you escaped from the warden?"

"What is escape? Although the dormitory supervisor is very powerful, the monitoring system in the external dormitory is just like that~ If you avoid the dormitory supervisor, the rest of the monitoring and electronic sensing will not be a problem."

Misaka Mikoto made a gesture of 'click to kill the surveillance camera' with her hand.

"As expected of an A-level ability user of the Electrical Department, the entire Academy City is simply your back garden."

Ba Mami sighed: "But as an artificial ability user, why do you participate in this competition held by the magic side! Is it just for fun?"

"Of course not...just for fun."

Misaka Mikoto glanced at Kamijou, and then looked back at Asami: "The most important thing is of course to win. I don't allow anyone to be stronger than me! Even if the opponent is Mami-senpai!"

"I see."

Ba Mami didn't have the slightest surprise, it would be better to say that such Misaka Mikoto is a normal Misaka Mikoto.

Modesty and prudence should not appear in this girl.

After a trip to London, Misaka Mikoto, who has become anxious about gain and loss, is not normal.

"But I'm sorry this time, my goal is number one. Even if the opponent is you, Misaka, I won't let it go."

"Exactly what I want!"

War was declared, and a certain momentum rose between the two women, completely ignoring the other contestants.

But judging from the strength of the two, it is true that others can be ignored.

Kamijou, who was sandwiched between two women full of fighting spirit, was very strange. Even if Misaka Mikoto is a fighting madman, why is Mami's mood so high today?

Does she want to be No.1 that much?

--------

"Why is Kamijou-senpai also involved?"

Shirai Kuroko bit her finger, in front of her was a whole row of screens.

This is the control room responsible for controlling the stage effects.

It's a bit dark, but the layout looks very high-tech room.It is somewhat similar to the control room for tuning and effects at the back of the TV station. There is a console full of various buttons and a large screen divided into many screens.

This is the room used to control the giant 'Electronic Tree'.

But now there is no one here, because all the programs have been set in advance, and problems can be solved by relying on AI.

This also gave Shirai Kuroko a chance. With the help of Owen Russell, she successfully entered this area by relying on the ability to move through space.

She inserted the special USB flash drive into the socket, and at the same time pressed the headset on her ear.

"Chuchun, I've already finished the things, it's up to you then."

"No problem, leave everything to me!"

A reading barding appeared on the screen, and it didn't take long for the Trojan horse virus written by Chuchun to be implanted into the machine.

"Let me see, what are you going to do?"

In the world of Symphony 05, in the coffee shop not far from the Electronic Tree, Chu Chunshili tapped on the keyboard with both hands.

In order to find out the truth, several people have ignored legal procedures.

--------

The electronic tree is not just a huge changeable electronic screen.

It is also a large-scale semi-open AR device. By reading the user's body temperature, pupils, brain waves, etc., it can even read the user's thoughts.

Does this design look familiar?

That's right, the server of the 'library' located in Gao Tianyuan uses exactly the same function.

This electronic tree can even support more than 3 people to use it at the same time. In other words, the 'electronic tree' has the ability to read the body information of 3 people at the same time.

Although I don't know exactly what Academy City is going to do, but the gathering phenomenon using the AIM diffusion position is combined with the spiritual power gathering phenomenon one day earlier.

The power of 3 people is combined into one, and the experience it brings is not the effect of 1+1=2.

"..."

Misaka Mikoto raised her head and looked at the top of the electronic tree with a heavy heart.

She and Shirai Kuroko divide the work and do what they are good at.

She is responsible for keeping an eye on the scene so that she can adapt accordingly.

The competition continued, and 150 places were quickly selected.

"OK! That's all for now, friends from behind, please go to the kawaii ladies and sisters to collect the participation prizes, a pack of tissues!"

Fuso Caiai held up a loudspeaker and used it as a microphone, announcing the end of the first round of competition.

"150 people, to be honest, it's too many~ From the competition process just now, you also saw that a large number of high-level ability users including A-level ability users also participated in the competition. So everyone wants to see high-level ability Instead of wasting time on trash fish."

After saying this, there were sporadic objections from the contestants below—presumably those are all abilities below B level.

But as I said, it's sporadic.

So it didn't resonate much.

"So, stop talking nonsense! The purpose of the second competition is to select the top four!"

Final four?

From 150 people?

Kamijou Touma felt a little exaggerated when he heard this rule, but he was relieved when he recalled the previous competition where thousands of people screened 150 people.

To put it bluntly, the purpose of the competition project team is not to stage a battle of thousands of people, but to have the finale effect of a duel between high-level ability users.

Fuso Caiai continued.

"Then declare the subject of the second match, tennis without a racket!"

As her voice fell, the whole stage changed like a pile of blocks.

It seems that, as Ba Mamei guessed before, the ground under his feet is a temporary ground made up of gravitational beams.

A field with a side length of 600 meters by 600 meters appeared, with yellow tennis balls neatly arranged on the field.

"What is this for?"

Kamijou Touma found that the 150 qualified people were all pushed out of the field. Combined with the "tennis game without a racket" mentioned by the host just now, could it be that the person who grabs more balls and throws the most balls into the goal frame wins? ?

But what about the ball basket?

While Kamijou was looking around for the ball basket, Aya Fuso announced the rules.

Chapter 55. Unilateral crushing

"Just like last time, the rules of this knockout round are very simple! Have you seen the tennis balls on the ground? You just need to pick them up and throw them at others! Everyone has two chances, and it is forbidden to use tennis balls that can be used directly. The ability to injure others!"

Aya Fuso spoke the rules with a loudspeaker.

It's really simple!

Isn't this so-called tennis tournament without a racket just dodgeball?

Kamijou saw that at the top of the electronic tree, names began to appear in rows, each followed by a number.His name is also among them.

"Then, let's begin!!"

Fuso Caiai announced the start without delay.

In the next second, rumbling—————

Those who had been tense from just now rushed into the square first.

Although there may seem to be many tennis balls in the square, they are actually limited.At a glance, the total number does not exceed one hundred.If you are slow, you will naturally only be beaten.

But there are also a small number of people who have chosen to wait and see for the time being because they have experienced the subsidence of the road just now.

150 people were divided into two parts.

Misaka Mikoto chose to rush directly into the field, her character is straightforward.

Kamijou also wanted to rush in subconsciously, but at this moment, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Asami squatting down, holding a ribbon in her hand.

He stopped his feet suddenly, and Ba Mamei's action at this time was definitely not for fun.

Kamijou's hunch was not wrong.

Before the people who rushed into the court touched the ball, in the center of the court, a light yellow ribbon hundreds of meters long and several meters wide suddenly broke through the gravitational support plank floor and rose from the center of the tennis court.

"Nauthiz (restraint)!!"

The rune runes spread across the surface of the huge ribbon at the speed of light, followed by a roundabout.

The pale yellow ribbon formed a tornado, but it didn't cause a storm in the physical sense. Instead, it relied on the power of the runes to generate some kind of attraction, sucking all the tennis balls neatly arranged on the ground in one breath.

An ability user who was about to pick up the tennis ball saw the tennis ball being sucked away, and shouted anxiously.

"My ball is gone!!!"

He rushed forward subconsciously, but was grabbed by the people behind.

"What are you doing, I want my ball!"

"Idiot, run!"

The magician who held him pointed with his chin to get the ribbon tornado, and then ran back without looking back.However, it seems that his purpose is not to run far, but to squeeze into the crowd as much as possible.

The ability user who lost the ball looked at the ribbon tornado in confusion, or it could no longer be called a tornado.

The frantically twisting ribbon has stopped spinning, and now it looks more like a twisted ribbon twisted to the limit.

The tennis balls that had been sucked up before all stuck to the surface of the ribbon.

The ability user who lost the ball blinked, and finally came to his senses.

run! ! !

He yelled in his heart, turned around and wanted to run back.

However it was too late.

The ribbon tornado twisted to the limit was like a spring that was suddenly broken after being wound up, and began to spin in the opposite direction at a terrifying speed.

The tennis ball that was originally attached to the giant ribbon was thrown out by the centrifugal force, as if being hit by a golf club vigorously, and flew away along the designed trajectory.

In Kamijou's eyes, he saw a barrage of yellow-orange tennis balls suppressing the ability users who rushed into the field before.
