With a look of disgust in his eyes, Accelerator shoved his hands into his pockets and turned to walk out of the Research Institute, ignoring the panicked Researchers who called out to stop him as if they were nothing but air.
This "treating them as air" wasn't just Accelerator pretending to be deaf; he had used his ability to block sound from propagating toward him, a trivial task for him.
While the Researchers of Academy City were indeed formidable, that did not mean just any random Researcher could lord over an Esper, let alone him, the strongest.
"Quick... quickly contact the higher-ups!"
The Researcher with the large gold tooth broke out in a cold sweat. He waved his hand and hurriedly ordered his subordinates to contact their superiors; only if those above could exert pressure on Accelerator would this project have a chance to continue.
Everything that happened inside the Research Institute was, of course, under Aleister's watchful eye. He was not at all surprised by this result, and as for the Researchers' so-called contact, it wasn't even worth a glance from him.
In the vast Academy City, there were only a few people he paid attention to. Touma, the protagonist of the original story, was naturally the core existence, and Accelerator was also an important piece on the board.
As for Misaka Chinatsu, he was still observing her. In terms of potential power as a Gemstone, it might not necessarily surpass Sogiita Gunha by much, but in terms of uniqueness, she was truly dazzling.
The master of voyeurism continued to observe Accelerator's movements after he left the Research Institute via nanobots. After hesitating for a moment, he saw Accelerator take out his phone from his pocket and dial someone's number.
Beep ~ Beep ~ Beep!
Within a few seconds, the call was connected. Accelerator opened his mouth to take a deep breath, then spoke first in as calm a tone as possible.
"Can you come out right now?"
Chinatsu, who had been lying flat on the soft bed in her dormitory, sat up. Although the person on the other end had tried to make his tone as calm as possible, she could still detect a hint of something amiss.
The time was 9:20 PM.
The school rules at Tokiwadai were very strict, and at this time, it was undoubtedly past curfew. However, for an Esper, this rule was not much of a constraint, and the Dorm Supervisor would usually turn a blind eye.
However, the Dorm Supervisor on Mikoto's side was quite strict. Chinatsu often heard from Mikoto about how she would break the rules, get caught by the Dorm Supervisor, and then be punished by having to clean the swimming pool or the dormitory.
Inside the dormitory, Chinatsu cast a leisurely glance at the clock and at her roommate, Kongo Mitsuko, who was lying on the next bed with a facial mask on, before returning her attention to the phone.
"I can. See you in a bit."
After Chinatsu hung up the phone, her roommate, Kongo Mitsuko, hesitated for a moment before she couldn't help but ask if Chinatsu was planning to go out now.
And when she received clear confirmation from Chinatsu that she was going out, Kongo Mitsuko, who couldn't sit up because of the facial mask, slowly raised an arm and made an "OK" gesture.
"Big Sister Chinatsu, go ahead with peace of mind. If there's a surprise dormitory inspection, I'll notify you in advance!"
"Mm, thank you."
Chinatsu nodded gratefully at Kongo Mitsuko, then pulled open the dormitory window. To avoid running into the Dorm Supervisor, she chose to leave through the window.
Her dormitory was located on the sixth floor of the high-rise tower, where each floor was just as high as a normal residential building. However, Chinatsu was not afraid of heights, neither mentally nor in terms of her abilities.
Chinatsu leaped swiftly from the window. Just as she was about to have a disastrous encounter with the ground, her descent speed dropped rapidly, and she eventually landed steadily on the ground.
