"Eh? Were married classmates also attacked?!"
Riri Saten widened her eyes in surprise and screamed.
"Um."
Hearing Saten Ruiko's question, Uiharu nodded.
"But it's not a big deal. I heard that a mysterious person seemed to have knocked those people down in one fell swoop."
"Hey... a righteous partner who stands up for justice when he sees injustice."
Hearing this, Riri Saotome couldn't help but sigh, however... apparently someone disagreed.
"That's not the case!"
Heizi slammed the table heavily.
"He is neither a security guard nor a discipline committee member. Using violence at will is unreasonable and a criminal! People like him should be... Hmm? What's wrong with you?"
Looking at the stiff-faced Ryoko Saten and Hatsuharu, Kuroko Shirai blinked in confusion, but at this moment, another voice came from behind her.
"Come on, why don't you continue?"
"Wow...Mr. Fang Zheng."
Shirai Kuroko turned around and saw Fang Zheng standing behind her with a half-smile on his face, teasing the kitten with one hand and looking at her at the other.
"You discipline committee members are too late to make it, and the security guards are just there to do nothing, and you don't allow others to do what is right? This doesn't make sense, right, Misaka?"
"Ah, yes, yes!"
Hearing this, Misaka Mikoto, who was a little embarrassed just now, nodded hurriedly, while Shirai Kuroko helplessly reached out her hand to press her forehead and sighed.
"Sister, the same goes for Mr. Fang Zheng. Please don't be so... active all the time."
"I can't help it. I saw it."
Fang Zheng spread his hands.
"We have to intervene when we see something, right? Otherwise, what can we do? You discipline committee members will only come after something happens. By the time you arrive, the victim will have already been assaulted, right? Encouraging people to take action is also for the sake of a harmonious society. If you ask me, you should give certificates and bonuses to those who dare to stand up and stop the abusers. This will definitely improve public security. After all, there are many people with special abilities in Academy City. If you encourage them to take action, those armed groups with no special abilities would have been scared long ago."
“That’s what I mean.”
At this moment, Misaka Mikoto patted Fang Zheng's arm happily, then looked at Kuroko.
"You always say that I'm provoking those bad guys, but the fact is that those bad guys are always acting recklessly. Look, they bully girls in broad daylight, and other people just turn a blind eye. It's because of this that these bastards are becoming more and more daring!"
"Well……"
Faced with Misaka Mikoto and Fang Zheng's rebuttal, Shirai Kuroko was speechless for a moment.
"Besides, the Armed Incompetent Group is so rampant, isn't it because the people who should be doing the work don't do the work? It's better to rely on a group of pigs than to rely on them."
At this point, Fang Zheng snorted coldly, and Shirai Kuroko didn't know what to say. Although in theory, the security guards are the main force in maintaining law and order in Academy City, their freedom of action is not as high as that of the discipline committee members. On the other hand, the discipline committee members are not as influential as the security guards in terms of action authority.
As Fang Zheng suggested before, the Discipline Committee members actually have no power to do this kind of thing, only the security guards can do it. But... after the previous Fantasy Hand incident, Shirai Kuroko had doubts about the security guards' ability to handle the situation, especially after learning about the dark side of Academy City from Kiyama Haruo, she was also helpless.
Shirai Kuroko is not simple nor naive. She can certainly guess that the reason why the security guards were not dispatched in many incidents is most likely intentional by the top management of Academy City. However, Shirai Kuroko really has no way to deal with this. After all, she is just a member of the Discipline Committee and cannot influence the decision-making of the top management.
"Forget it, but you still have to be careful."
Fang Zheng naturally didn't intend to cause trouble for Shirai Kuroko, so he just complained casually and then changed the subject.
"careful?"
"Yes, that post-marriage photon... is your friend, right? I remember she is a level 4 powerful person. Although not every powerful person is good at fighting..."
For example, if Flanda doesn't have a bomb, her ability is basically useless against the enemy.
"...But generally speaking, it's easy for a powerful person to escape even if they can't win. In this case, they were beaten up by the bad guys. I advise you to investigate. Maybe you can find something."
"Mr. Fang Zheng, what do you mean?"
Hearing this, Shirai Kuroko also frowned slightly.
"I mean, maybe they got something that can restrain people with special abilities."
"Eh? How could there be such a thing..."
"How could there not be? Can't the Illusion Hand be used to enhance abilities? This time it might be the Illusion Killer."
“…”
Facing Fang Zheng's reminder, Hei Zi also fell into deep thought. Indeed, with the previous experience of the Fantasy Master, it is impossible to deny the possibility of something similar...
"I understand. I'll investigate right away."
After receiving Fang Zheng's reminder, Shirai Kuroko, Hatsuharu, Misaka Mikoto and Saten Ruiko immediately took action - as for Index, she basically lives in Ruiko's house now, but Ruiko will leave her in the research institute to be taken care of by Stiyl and Kanzaki Kaori when she goes out every day.
Although Index was a little wary and fearful of Stiyl and Kanzaki Kaori at the beginning, she was not so nervous after Fang Zheng told her that the abilities of these two people had been sealed by him and they could only be slaves.
This is another reason why these two people can endure the 007 work system.
After all, even though Index has forgotten them, being able to temporarily go back to the days of taking care of Index like before is also a good choice.
All of this was planned by Founder long ago. It's like giving a slap in the face and giving a date in return... How can employees be expected to work overtime willingly if they don't even have this ability?
It would be even better if employees could even avoid asking for overtime pay.
If we can ask employees to pay money to the company in return... this is impossible...
Although they followed Fang Zheng's suggestion and wanted to find Guangzi after marriage, they were told that Guangzi seemed to have been transferred to a hospital for examination and could not be contacted at present. So they had no choice but to find other victims to inquire about the situation. After going around, Guangzi and others got some information.
The reason why those armed people without abilities can defeat those with abilities is not only because they have more numbers, but also because they have guns!
gun!
Hearing this, Misaka Mikoto and Shirai Kuroko were shocked. You know, guns are quite rare in East Asia. If you say that Americans have one, they will believe it, but in Academy City...
After getting this news, Kuroko felt that he could more or less understand why those ability users were attacked. Even if they were ability users, they were just junior high and high school students after all. Looking at the black muzzles of guns pointed at them, even Misaka Mikoto and Shirai Kuroko didn't dare to say that they could remain completely calm, let alone ordinary ability users.
After that, Shirai Kuroko immediately contacted the security guards and informed them of the situation, hoping that they could go out and arrest these armed disabled people. However, the other party said that there was no evidence and that they could not mobilize on a large scale based on the current situation...
Hearing this, Misaka Mikoto was the first one who couldn't help herself.
"In that case, let's find the evidence and show it to them!"
This time, even Shirai Kuroko failed to stop Misaka Mikoto. She also realized that the security guards were really unreliable... although Shirai Kuroko didn't want to think so.
After that, Uiharu found out the location of the armed incompetent organization "Big Spider", and then Misaka Mikoto, Shirai Kuroko and Saten Ruiko rushed over. Following the clues, they soon found the base of the organization.
"I'm the Discipline Committee!"
Looking at the bad guys surrounding him, Shirai Kuroko showed no fear at all and displayed his armband with dignity.
"I arrest you, Kurozuma Cotton Ryu, as the mastermind behind the incident of harming people with special abilities."
"Arrest me? Just because of you little brats?"
In response to Kuroko's words, the leading man in a black jacket smiled smugly.
"I don't have time to play house with you little brats. I advise you to leave."
"You're really good at talking. Do you think I will let you, the villains who wantonly attack others, go?"
Hearing this, Misaka Mikoto clenched her fists in anger, and electric currents appeared in front of her. Seeing this scene, the man narrowed his eyes.
"Look at your school uniform... You are students of Tokiwadai. In other words, you are the high and mighty esper masters?"
As he spoke, the man's voice became higher and higher.
"Villains who wantonly attack others? If we are villains, then what are you, the people with special abilities?!"
"Why?"
Faced with the man's roar, Misaka Mikoto and Shirai Kuroko were stunned.
"Are people without abilities defective? Do they deserve to be abandoned? Are we, the people without abilities, so insignificant to you people with abilities?"
At this point, the man clenched his fists.
"That's right, this city belongs to people with special abilities. We people without special abilities are just like ants. But if there are too many ants, they can bite people to death. So what if people with special abilities? Won't they still kneel down in front of us, cry, and beg for mercy? Do you think you are great just because you are high above, and we people without special abilities are just a bunch of pigs? But now, I tell you, we people without special abilities also have our own power, which is no less than that of people with special abilities!"
Having said that, the man suddenly raised his hand and pressed a button.
“——!!!”
Suddenly, a shrill noise was heard. Hearing the noise, Misaka Mikoto and Shirai Kuroko trembled all over.
"What, what's that sound..."
The sharp noise seemed to invade their brains directly, making both of them feel extremely painful. Shirai Kuroko gritted her teeth and wanted to move away immediately, but... her body just swayed slightly, and then quickly stopped.
"Ability invalid?"
"As long as we have this thing, you people with special abilities are nothing more than a group of pigs, a group of pigs waiting to be slaughtered."
With a distorted face and a cold smile, the man walked towards the three people.
"Watch this, little brats. Attacking people with special abilities is just the beginning. We are going to start a revolution in this city, a revolution for people without special abilities. We are going to overthrow all those people with special abilities and the school's top brass who regard us as waste and a burden! I want to show you that the power of people without special abilities is not something you can just ignore!"
After saying this, the man stretched out his foot and kicked Heizi suddenly.
However……
"call--!!"
Before the man could kick Shirai Kuroko, a strong wind suddenly rose from the ground and turned into a wind wall in front of Shirai Kuroko and Misaka Mikoto, blocking the man's attack. At the same time, Saten Ruiko also held the sword tightly and blocked the two.
"Are you okay, Misaka-san, Shirai-san?"
"Saten-san?"
Seeing Ruiko holding a long sword and controlling the wind wall, Misaka Mikoto and Shirai Kuroko were shocked.
