A Scientific Urban Detective

"Senior Mumyou," Misaka Mikoto suddenly asked as they walked, "I heard from Hachiwaki-san that you're using those steel balls as weapons?"

"That's right." Lin Mumyou nodded, picking up a steel ball from his pocket and glancing at Misaka Mikoto beside him, feeling the time was right.

So, he said, "If you don't mind a slight detour, I can find a place to demonstrate."

"Sure, sure," Misaka Mikoto naturally wouldn't refuse. "I heard that Senior Mumyou dueled with that Accelerator not long ago. I'd like to see your true strength!"

"That was an undeniable defeat, nothing to boast about." Lin Mumyou waved his hand. "Besides, you're also a Level 5, so you can help me assess how threatening this move of mine would be in the eyes of you Level 5s."

With that, Lin Mumyou led the girls to the park where he often trained.

Standing by the lake, after confirming that there was no one else nearby, Lin Mumyou took out a steel ball.

"Mumyou," Hachiwaki Tooru reminded, "Be careful of warnings!"

The last time he tried out his move by the lake, he was discovered. The security forces and Judgement learned about it somehow.

Lin Mumyou certainly remembered, so he nodded, "I know what I'm doing."

This time, Lin Mumyou didn't shoot himself in the head first, using the 'bullet time' state to launch an enhanced 'telekinesis acceleration cannon'; it was a normal attack.

But even so, everyone could only see the steel ball appearing a hundred meters away in the blink of an eye, turning into a blazing orange-red beam and shooting into the water.

Like a depth charge exploding, the lake surface instantly erupted, creating towering waves.

"Tsk, I hope there aren't any fish in this lake…" Lin Mumyou clicked his tongue.

He didn't dare gamble that there was no one on the other side of the lake, so he couldn't shoot horizontally; he was also worried that firing into the sky would accidentally injure some passing aircraft, so he could only fire into the water, using the lake water to withstand and dissipate the enormous power of the 'telekinesis acceleration cannon'.

"So… so amazing!" Misaka Mikoto exclaimed in surprise. "Senior, are you really just a Level 3? This kind of power, even I…"

"Misaka-san should be able to do it too, right? Something like this." Kofuku Misaka pushed up her glasses. "In the end, it's just 'throwing a stone'. Mumyou-kun's telekinesis can do it, so your electromagnetism shouldn't be difficult either."

Lin Mumyou and Shokuhou Misaki mentally gave Kofuku Misaka an assist.

"Huh? Electromagnetism… seems… right?" Misaka Mikoto looked like she had been enlightened, and began to think with her hand on her chin.

As the strongest electromaster, even though she was just an elementary school student, Misaka Mikoto's mastery of electromagnetism-related knowledge had reached or even surpassed the level of experts in related fields.

Inspired, she suddenly understood, "Senior Mumyou, give me a steel ball."

Misaka Mikoto reached out her hand to Lin Mumyou.

Lin Mumyou didn't want to give her one.

--How can the mighty 'Railgun' not fire coins?

Lin Mumyou initially chose to use steel balls with less air resistance as 'cannonballs' because his telekinetic output was limited; otherwise, he would also want to imitate 'Railgun' 100% and use coins as 'cannonballs'!

Shokuhou Misaki pointed to her pocket, "Just use the game coins in your pocket to experiment. Senior Mumyou's steel balls are important weapons and can't be wasted casually."

"What's so important about them? You can just exchange them at the arcade…" Misaka Mikoto muttered, but didn't insist, and took out a coin.

"Hmm, it seems… quite handy."

As she spoke, Misaka Mikoto held the coin in her palm, and under the control of electromagnetism, the coin slowly floated up.

Then, she slightly recalled the relevant theoretical knowledge of the railgun and began to construct a magnetic field around the coin…

Lin Mumyou watched her every move with interest. Although it was very different from the 'Railgun' launch scene in his memory, this was, after all, Misaka Mikoto's first attempt.

It was not difficult to see that Misaka Mikoto was trying to completely imitate Lin Mumyou's every move—Lin Mumyou's 'telekinesis acceleration cannon' of course didn't need to flick the steel ball with his hand, it was all telekinetically controlled.

Therefore, Misaka Mikoto simply replaced the 'telekinesis' part with electromagnetism and completely replicated it.

Biri biri…

An orange-red beam extended from in front of Misaka Mikoto, drawing a bright line along the lake.

Although it was a bit off.

The fierce wind stirred up by the 'Railgun' rushed towards them, emphasizing the terrifying power of this attack, and the few people watching by the lake couldn't help but take a few steps back.

Misaka Mikoto was a little embarrassed and scratched her head, saying, "Sorry, sorry, because it's my first try, I'm not very skilled…"

Shokuhou Misaki carefully checked her hair. The scorching turbulence just now made her feel like her hair was about to be burned.

Unlike Lin Mumyou's 'telekinesis acceleration cannon'—in order to obtain the ultimate acceleration with limited output, Lin Mumyou's approach was to use telekinesis to set up a 100-meter-long 'barrel' and remove the air, so that the steel ball could accelerate in a near-vacuum environment.

Only when it had accelerated for a hundred meters and flew out of the 'barrel' would the steel ball heat up and melt due to friction with the air.

It's just that Lin Mumyou usually bombarded his face directly, so the melting of the cannonball was not a problem.

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ said ⊥ at ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥⊥ book ⊥⊥ bar ⊥⊥ first ⊥ hair!

But Misaka Mikoto's 'Railgun' was different. As a Level 5 electromaster, her output was much stronger than Lin Mumyou's telekinesis, and coupled with the fact that she didn't create a local vacuum tube, she could accelerate the coin to the point of melting from the very beginning.

Therefore, the 'Railgun' fired by Misaka Mikoto was essentially a stream of molten metal, which burned out due to friction with the air after flying more than thirty meters.

Apart from the gust of wind stirred up by the 'cannon fire', there was no trace left.

This also had the advantage of avoiding the violent movements that Lin Mumyou often caused, such as large explosions.

Although she missed the first try—even a dozen degrees more would have injured her teammates—Misaka Mikoto didn't feel lost because of it.

On the contrary, like discovering a new continent, the strongest electromaster's eyes were bright and energetic, and electric sparks crackled on her body surface.

Misaka Mikoto couldn't help but reach out to her pocket, as if she wanted to fire another shot immediately.

However, at this moment, Lin Mumyou reached out to stop her, "Okay, we'll find another chance to try it later. As for now, let's run."

"Run? Why?"

"We've made such a big commotion, the nearby security teachers or robots will be here soon." Lin Mumyou said, "If you don't want to listen to the teacher's lectures, then let's get out of here early!"

This was also Lin Mumyou's experience, after all, this was a place he often used to practice the 'telekinesis acceleration cannon'; as the number of times increased, he had already been blacklisted by the nearby police station.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a bucket-shaped robot with a flashing red warning light on its head appear at the end of the park path.

Seeing this scene, the group of young boys and girls ran away in tacit understanding.

Feeling amused by this experience, Misaka Mikoto couldn't help but laugh out loud as she ran.

Like… no, at this moment they were just naughty teenagers running away from the scene after a successful prank.
