Editing Toaru Majutsu no Index:MvM Chapter2 (section)

===Part 12===

Mikoto felt a twinge of reluctance when her journey jumping from building to building took her to the edge of District 18.

(Yeah, I’ll have to preserve my strength after I leave here. I won’t be able to recharge with the EM weapon tower.)

She was moving from District 18 to District 11.

That special district could be seen as the front door for the land route and shipping. Which meant it directly bordered the outside wall.

“Not far now!!”

What were things like outside?

If she saw Shinjuku like normal, then this was the real world.

She had already rejected the idea that this was a virtual reality running on electronic equipment, but if the city and view outside of Academy City didn’t look right, it would mean this world was an artificial field created by an illusion esper or a fake city made for filming a movie.

It would mean a lot to know for sure if she could safely destroy this city.

That would tell her on what scale she could battle Shokuhou.

“Tch!”

Several figures approached her.

These were not just the crowd pursuing her on the ground. They were up as high as she was. She could see several girls jumping from rooftop to rooftop.

That was the Shokuhou Clique.

Apparently Shokuhou was strongest when she stuck to the basics.

(Come to think of it, didn’t her clique easily catch up to a running train during the Daihaseisai!? If they’re this close, it won’t be long until they have me surrounded!!)

And the Shokuhou Clique had more than just physical fighters.

Mikoto suddenly heard someone else’s voice speaking directly in her mind.

<Hee hee. Hello again, Misaka-sama.>

“Ugh. This telepathy…Kobayashi-senpai!?”

<nowiki><I</nowiki> am glad you remember me. It is strange that you can deflect the Queen’s Mental Out, but I can easily establish a link with my lower-level telepathy.>

That was enough of a threat.

Once Kobayashi Satori established a one-way link, she could spy on your thoughts and predict your actions.

And she could also use the link to track your general location. The biggest threat in war was reliable intelligence. If Mikoto didn’t do anything about Kobayashi, she would be allowing the other clique members to rush right to her.

So…

(I need to crush that intelligence agent first!!)

<My, how violent. And did you really think I only played a harmless support role?>

(Hm? Can she use her telepathy to attack? Like fill your mind with incomprehensibly broken text and words to make the speech center of the brain glitch out?)

Bracing herself wouldn’t help.

Covering her ears could not shut out the telepath’s “voice”.

And the fearsome attack arrived.

<Crotch.>

“…?”

<Vagina, vulva, genitalia, privates. Oh? You can call it the groin too. Language is such a fascinating thing.>

It took three seconds for Mikoto to realize what this was.

Her face turned beet red.

No.

This couldn’t be happening!!

(W-w-w-w-w-w-wait, she couldn’t be. I mean, how could a bashful Tokiwadai girl stoop to such shameless depths?)

<Yes, using colored pens to underline all the lewd words in your dictionary is quite a shameful hobby. Maybe I shouldn't have outed myself like that☆>

“Ahhhhhhh!?”

''Crash!!!

A billion volts radiated from Mikoto.

The psychological attack had won.
