Zongman, Rebirth of the Heaven-Defying Kirito

After a long silence, Accelerator slowly uttered two words: "Foolish."

Just as Kirito expected, Accelerator is indeed someone who can't be persuaded with words alone.

Fortunately, Accelerator turned and left after speaking, with no intention of reasoning with Kirito or fighting him again.

To be honest, Kirito alone couldn't really beat the opponent, but with the dimensional barrier, running away wouldn't be difficult.

Kirito watched his retreating figure without stopping him.

Just as the other person was about to disappear into the night, he spoke: "If you've come to a realization, you must come back!"

Accelerator did not turn around or respond, as if he hadn't heard, until his figure disappeared into the night.

In short, everything that needed to be said has been said, and I believe that guy will soon realize his mistake.

......

The next morning.

Kirito arrived at the hospital and pushed open the ward door.

The room was quiet. Misaka lay on the bed, and her older sister, Misaka Mikoto, was taking care of her.

When Misaka Mikoto turned around and saw who it was, she immediately raised her finger to make a shushing gesture.

Then, she carefully stood up from the chair, pulled Kirito out of the ward, and gently closed the door to shut out any sounds that might disturb their sleep.

Kirito watched her meticulous movements and said sincerely, "As expected of the older sister, she has considered every aspect to take care of her younger sister."

Misaka Mikoto said somewhat embarrassedly, "Please stop teasing me."

Kirito was clearly speaking from the heart, so how did it become a joke?

However, there's no need to dwell on such a minor incident.

Kirito changed the subject: "How is she doing now?"

When Misaka Mikoto mentioned the Misaka Sisters, her eyes softened considerably: "She's completely out of danger now, and I believe she'll recover soon with enough rest."

At that moment, Misaka Mikoto seemed to suddenly remember something: "Oh right, after you took her to the hospital yesterday, you left in a hurry. Did something happen?"

"It's nothing, I just went back and fought Accelerator again," Kirito said casually.

"Huh?!" Misaka Mikoto's voice suddenly rose.

At that very moment, Kirito made his move, covering the other person's mouth with lightning speed.

Then he gently pushed open the door with his other hand, and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Misaka Mikoto had not been woken up.

Misaka Mikoto immediately realized something was wrong. After Kirito let go, she lowered her voice and said, "Why didn't you tell me beforehand that this was something so important? What if we encountered danger? I could have helped!"

She knew Accelerator's strength all too well; even her Railgun couldn't harm him in the slightest. For Kirito to go back and face him alone was practically an adventure.

"The situation is urgent, and we can't afford to miss this opportunity," Kirito explained.

Seeing that her opponent was unharmed, Misaka Mikoto relaxed: "As long as you came back safely, it's okay if you lost."

Kirito, however, seemed a little smug: "Lost? Who said you lost? It was clearly that guy who lost!"

Misaka Mikoto froze, her eyes wide as if she hadn't heard clearly. "You mean... Accelerator lost? You won?"

She simply couldn't believe that her nightmare-like opponent, the Level 5 pinnacle that had plunged her and the Misaka Sisters into despair, had actually been defeated.

"To be precise, we won!" Kirito corrected.

Misaka Mikoto understood; Kirito had teamed up with others to defeat Accelerator.

She asked curiously, "Then there must be a lot of people with you, and they must be very strong, right?"

After all, Kirito can summon a large number of people (players) with a wave of his hand.

Kirito shook his head and corrected him, "No, actually there were only the two of us, and that guy is just an ordinary person. He just has a certain ability that counters Accelerator."

"An ordinary person? A restraint of Accelerator?" Misaka Mikoto was even more confused; the combination of these two words was simply beyond her comprehension.

She didn't even understand why these two opposite words could be used to describe the same person.

Kirito waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to dwell on the details: "In short, Accelerator has been defeated, and I believe this news will soon reach the ears of those involved in the plan. At that time..."

He paused deliberately and looked at Misaka Mikoto.

Misaka Mikoto anxiously pressed, "What will happen then?"

"By then, the 'Absolute Ability Evolution Project' should be terminated!"

Kirito's voice wasn't loud, but it exploded in Misaka Mikoto's mind like a thunderclap.

The experiment she longed to end, the sisters she wanted to protect, the nightmare she wanted to break... finally, finally, it's going to come true?

Misaka Mikoto suddenly stepped forward and grabbed Kirito's arm: "Are you serious? The experiment really won't continue?"

"Yes." Kirito nodded heavily: "After all, their greatest weapon, Accelerator, has already been defeated."

Misaka Mikoto always felt a sense of unreality.

First, they discovered that the cruel experiment was not real; then they found out that the experiment was not real.

Even though she didn't put in much effort, and most of the younger sisters were rescued by the other party.

If it really ends like this...

She released Kirito's arm, bowed deeply to him, and said in a slightly choked voice, "Thank you... for me and for all the Misaka sisters!"

Kirito looked at her reddened eyes and covered his face helplessly: "Why do you always have to bow so formally when you thank me? It would be better to be simple, like treating me to a big meal, I would be very satisfied."

Misaka Mikoto burst out laughing at his nonsensical words.

Wiping away the few tears from the corners of her red and swollen eyes, she smiled exceptionally brightly: "Really, I've already thanked you properly, can't you be a little more mindful of the atmosphere!"

Kirito watched her laughing and crying at the same time and sighed softly in his heart.

After all, she was just a junior high school student, yet she shouldered the responsibility of protecting all her younger sisters, and now she finally feels relieved.

At that moment, Misaka Mikoto looked at Kirito with a shifty gaze and said, "Next time... I'll bring a thank-you gift next time."

After saying that, she immediately added proudly, "Don't get me wrong! I just brought it to you because I couldn't finish it!"

Kirito replied cooperatively, "Okay, I'll look forward to it."

"Is the experiment... coming to an end?" A Misaka Sister appeared beside them without them noticing.

Misaka Mikoto nodded excitedly.

Kirito, however, sensed a hint of... conflict and reluctance in Misaka's perpetually icy tone.

No, what is all this about? How can you, as the victim, still not give up?

Could it be that Accelerator will give him a Stelmore syndrome?

Then the Misaka Sisters explained the reason: "After this is over, will the Misakas leave here?"
