A Scientific Urban Detective

#442 - Destined Encounter

"Do you have a school in mind?" Hearing that Accelerator actually wanted to go to school, Lin Wuming quickly asked, "With your grades, even going to Nagatenjouki Academy would be no problem... By the way, where is your current school registration?"

"It's Nagatenjouki... I guess?" Accelerator said casually, "But that kind of thing doesn't matter at all, anyway, I've never been to school. As for famous schools? That kind of thing is meaningless to me."

"That's true..." Lin Wuming nodded. After all, with Accelerator's academic ability and strength, going to school is really just to experience life.

"A certain high school," Accelerator said suddenly.

"Huh?" Lin Wuming felt like he had heard a familiar term.

"I'm going to a certain high school," Accelerator said. "The name of the school is A Certain High School."

"Eh? I know that one," Lin Wuming quickly nodded—no matter how you look at it, he was definitely the most familiar with A Certain High School.

"But, how did you think of choosing that school?" Lin Wuming asked.

"How did I choose it..." Accelerator said, "Just random selection."

Then he shook his head and patiently explained: "No, it's not entirely random. Because it doesn't matter, I don't care which school I go to. So, I found a school on the website that was average in all aspects."

The one he chose was "A Certain High School," which from the name itself exuded an aura of "average, mediocre"; plus, whether it was influenced by someone's "luck" in advance, it's not surprising that Accelerator chose it now.

"Hmm..." Lin Wuming couldn't help but fall silent, "Everything is so subtle, so should I also... next year?"

"Oh?" Accelerator immediately perked up, "Are you also planning to go to that school, Wuming?"

"It's one of my backup plans, after all, Teacher Yomikawa—who is my guardian—is a teacher at A Certain High School," Lin Wuming explained.

"I see," Accelerator nodded, "Looks like there's a chance we'll be classmates, Wuming."

"But that's probably not easy," Lin Wuming shook his head.

"What? Do you want to go to other, better schools?"

"It's not that kind of problem," Lin Wuming shook his head and said, "A mortal like me wants to pursue the extraordinary, and an extraordinary person like you wants to pursue the ordinary. These are both going against the current, and will inevitably encounter all kinds of obstacles, right?"

He remembered that in the original work, Academy City was deliberately avoiding contact between Accelerator and Touma Kamijou, fearing that these two protagonists and the forces they represented would merge.

If they both enter A Certain High School next year...

But so far, Accelerator and Touma Kamijou have not yet formed their respective "forces," so there shouldn't be any problems, right?

"It's worth doing because it's difficult," Accelerator said with a determined expression. "This is the first decision I've made based on my own will. And even if there are so-called difficulties... how difficult can it be?"

Accelerator shook his head nonchalantly. He had full confidence that no matter what difficulties he encountered, he could solve them.

"Well, I think so too," Lin Wuming also nodded and said. Thinking about it carefully, he didn't think that the current Accelerator would encounter any obstacles.

His psychology wasn't twisted, he wasn't nitpicking, and he had even established confidence that matched his strength and status; moreover, he wasn't "brain-dead," causing his strength to be limited for a long time...

Compared to him in the original story, the only thing Accelerator lacked now was probably "combat experience," right?

But then again, is the experience of crushing vegetables gained through slaughtering the Misaka sisters really valuable for Accelerator's strength improvement?

Lin Wuming shook his head, throwing away these messy thoughts.

—In the end, it's just going to school, who would go against "vector manipulation" for such a trivial matter?

Accelerator's desire to go to school, although it can't be said to be a whim, was indeed finalized after seeing Lin Wuming today, and he also confirmed that the school he would attend was "A Certain High School."

Just as Accelerator said just now, this was the first decision he made with his own will, so he was particularly enthusiastic and motivated.

Lin Wuming was not the type to chat, and after noticing Accelerator's absent-mindedness, he decisively said goodbye and left.

Watching Lin Wuming's wheelchair drive out of his sight, Accelerator also turned around to go home.

Just then, he suddenly noticed a commotion in the crowd around him.

Originally, Accelerator didn't care about his surroundings, but because he was in a good mood now, and his emotions were high, he was slightly curious about the changes around him, so he turned his head to look.

The source of the commotion seemed to be across the road, as if some kind of force had pushed away the pedestrians on the sidewalk, cutting through the pedestrians on the sidewalk like cutting through water.

Looking more closely, it turned out to be a petite girl who was pushing her way through the pedestrians and running towards this side.

The girl was probably only about ten years old, so from a distance, she was completely invisible in the crowd.

"Oh?" Accelerator raised his eyebrows, because he noticed that this girl was not simply running and playing on the road, she was running away from something.

The latest novel is first published on Liu Jiu Shu Ba!

—Someone was chasing her.

This brown-haired girl looked quite panicked, almost knocking away the pedestrians in front of her, desperately running forward.

As for her "pursuers" behind her... looking closely, they were actually Anti-Skill members?

—Could this girl be a thief?

People who noticed this scene couldn't help but guess.

The Anti-Skill unit has a good reputation in Academy City and would not indiscriminately arrest underage students—unless the student was at fault first.

However, Accelerator noticed something was wrong—the Anti-Skill members behind were fully armed, wearing heavy armor, and even openly equipped with firearms.

This was not the equipment that would be used to arrest a thief.

And the reason why Accelerator was most concerned about this matter was the brown-haired girl's action of running directly towards him.

Accelerator looked left and right, there was no one else around him.

"Brother Wuming!" Seeming to have found a certain predetermined location, the brown-haired girl shouted loudly, "Help! Misaka loudly sends out a distress signal, but is confused because she can't find the person to ask for help!"

The brown-haired girl anxiously looked around: "This is bad, did I miss him? Misaka feels despair at her situation and deeply reflects on her reckless decision!"
