Chat Group: Anime Girls are Moist-Chapter 282 - : Identical

"I don't feel like fighting anymore."

Milim suddenly withdrew her attack.

Velzard and Velgrynd also halted their movements.

A "warm-up spar" that had lasted quite a while finally came to an end.

There was no winner or loser.

All three of them had held back, fighting only because they were itching for some action.

Now Milim had lost interest.

The key point was that she had not waited long enough to see Rei Ao appear.

"Ah dear, is our obedient niece planning to go home now?"

Velzard walked over with a smile.

"Go home? I don't want to!"

Milim crossed her arms proudly. "I'm going to stay with you all and wait for Rei Ao to come back."

She was dead-set on having a fight with Rei Ao.

"Tsk, you're still just as willful as ever."

Velgrynd complained openly about her niece.

But Milim, the target of that complaint, didn't get angry. Instead, she revealed her little canine teeth and laughed recklessly. "Because I'm really strong."

"..."

It was undeniable.

Right now, Milim really was stronger than they were.

"Fine, do what you want. Just don't cause trouble."

"What do you mean 'cause trouble?' Anything I, Milim-sama, do is not trouble!"

" ... "

She really was headstrong.

From the distance, Frey and Luminus, who had been watching quietly, couldn't keep calm.

It looked like even the Destroyer Tyrant had half a foot in Rei Ao's camp.

"So, what do you think about this?" Frey asked curiously, turning toward Luminus, who was deep in thought.

Luminus gave her a cold sidelong glance.

Without saying a word, she turned around and stepped into the open dimensional rift.

"So cold."

Frey wasn't angry.

She was used to Luminus always being mysterious.

"Sigh, it seems I'll have to submit myself completely... I just wonder if Rei Ao-sama will even look my way."

Resigned, Frey lowered her head, looking at her own curvy figure.

She could only hope that her still-intact purity would catch the eye of the master she would soon serve...

...

Academy City.

Four girls of different appearances were gathered at an outdoor table of a dessert shop, eating sweets.

"I'm so jealous that all of you have your own abilities."

The girl with long black hair, wearing a white plum blossom–shaped hair accessory, couldn't hide her envy at her friends who all possessed powers. She couldn't help sighing out loud.

Her name was Saten Ruiko.

She had come to Academy City carrying her family's hopes. Yet, in this place where individual powers and Personal Reality mattered most, she was ironically a complete failure, utterly unable to awaken any ability.

She felt a bit inferior because she had made no progress in developing a power of her own.

Meanwhile, all her friends... each one was amazing.

Among the four of them, the most impressive were senior Misaka Mikoto and Shirai Kuroko.

The two of them had been introduced to Saten Ruiko by her good friend, Uiharu Kazari.

Misaka Mikoto was a Level 5 esper.

That was the realm everyone aspired to reach.

Shirai Kuroko was a Level 4 esper with the power "Teleportation."

She was not only the only Teleporter at Tokiwadai Middle School but also a member of Judgment.

Uiharu Kazari, often called a "walking flower vase" for her perpetual flower headband, was a cute girl with short black hair—Saten Ruiko's best friend.

Although Uiharu Kazari's ability wasn't as strong as Misaka Mikoto's or Shirai Kuroko's (she was only a Level 1 with "Thermal Hand," able to maintain the temperature of any object she touched), it was still better than having no ability at all.

Saten Ruiko dreamed day and night of awakening her own power—even a useless Level 1 would be enough.

"Ruiko, don't worry. I'm sure your ability will awaken eventually."

Uiharu Kazari patted her on the shoulder, encouraging her in a sweet voice.

"But... I've tried so many methods already..."

Saten Ruiko couldn't help looking at Shirai Kuroko and Misaka Mikoto.

"Kuroko, Mikoto-senpai, you're both so strong. Do you have any tips?"

Shirai Kuroko scratched her head in embarrassment. "I don't really have any special tips. After I awakened, I just kept working on my Personal Reality."

Misaka Mikoto also shook her head apologetically.

"Sorry. I'm afraid my experience won't be much help to you."

"It's all right. In the end, it's my own problem."

The last bit of hope in Saten Ruiko's eyes faded.

'It looks like I'm just destined not to awaken any power.'

She resolved to accept reality.

Seeing their friend like that, the other three felt awful too, but there was nothing they could do.

How someone awakened an ability was a mystery.

Unless Saten Ruiko went to a top-notch research institute for intensive Ability Development, there might be no way...

Wait!

Misaka Mikoto suddenly recalled a certain mysterious chat group she belonged to.

In that group was a pretty formidable perverted group admin. Perhaps he could make it happen?

Once Misaka Mikoto thought of Rei Ao, though, she almost immediately rejected the idea.

Because he was a pervert.

But when she saw Saten Ruiko's disappointed expression, her heart softened, and she decided to bring it up anyway.

"I might know a way."

"?"

Saten Ruiko looked up sharply.

Uiharu Kazari and Shirai Kuroko also looked at her in surprise.

"Onee-sama, are you saying you have a way for Saten Ruiko to awaken her power?"

It wasn't that Shirai Kuroko didn't trust her beloved senior—this was just too unbelievable.

"Mikoto-senpai, is this true?" Uiharu Kazari asked hopefully.

She also didn't want her best friend to remain so insecure about her lack of ability.

And, of course, Saten Ruiko was the one whose hopes were most revived.

"R-Really? Is something like that even possible?"

She was excited and nervous, afraid that it would just end in disappointment.

"Well, it involves a friend of mine..."

Misaka Mikoto tried to choose her words carefully.

Suddenly, she froze, looking ahead.

A chestnut-haired girl in a Tokiwadai school uniform came out from around a distant corner.

That side profile looked so familiar.

When the girl glanced around and briefly turned her face in this direction...

"!!!"

Misaka Mikoto stood up in disbelief.

That face was identical to hers!

"Senpai?"

"Onee-sama, what's wrong?!"

Her companions were baffled by her behavior.

Apparently, that mysterious girl also noticed them. After one glance at Misaka Mikoto, she turned around and ran away.

"Don't run!"

A flood of strange emotions rose within Misaka Mikoto; seeing someone with a face identical to hers suddenly flee, she immediately chased after her, shouting, "You guys don't have to wait for me! I'm going to catch someone! We'll talk about Ruiko's problem later!"

She dashed away, leaving the three of them staring at each other in confusion.
