How did you bunch of silly group members also time travel?

A new member joined this group while some embarrassing elf was offline! —

Gekota: You are the embodiment of this power!? @NewbieLookingForMember

Newbie just there to fill a spot: ?

Nanisor?

Miss Fox was completely baffled by this sudden mention!

She had absolutely no recollection of this ID! She was always at the forefront of the group chat (unless the internet was down), yet she had absolutely no recollection of this ID!

What does this mean!

This means that she, the awful admin of this lousy group, missed a crucial plot development during the internet outage!

"What a big loss!"

Chapter 257 This must be a conspiracy of psychological manipulation!

Misaka Mikoto is very troubled lately.

The Absolute Ability User Project that once troubled her is long gone. Of course, it's not that Misaka Mikoto's recent problem is having nightmares every night about her deceased sisters crying to her, nor is it that a certain Misaka Sister, supposedly reborn from another world, comes to harass her every day.

But lately, all she can think about is that spiky-haired high school student!

"Ugh, this is so annoying!"

Misaka Mikoto slammed her head against her pillow in the empty dormitory and died.

She didn't know what was wrong with her. Her first meeting with that spiky-haired high school student wasn't exactly a pleasant or memorable experience. On the contrary, it was when she learned that the Absolute Level 6 plan was ineffective and she was about to give up and seek out Accelerator, intending to die in order to save the Misaka Sisters. The moment she cried out in her heart that she didn't want to die, yet stepped towards the abyss of certain death, was the most helpless and the last thing she wanted anyone to see.

However, my first encounter with that spiky-haired high school student happened to happen on that very road.

As if by coincidence, fate played a cruel trick on her. Just as she was about to give up thinking, she happened to encounter the spiky-haired man, who had somehow become embroiled in an incident unrelated to him. She even mistakenly attacked him, thinking him an enemy of the research institute, nearly costing another Misaka Sister her life. Although the Sisters didn't care, this sin remained forever in her heart...

"I really am a deeply sinful person..."

Misaka Mikoto's mood suddenly plummeted.

Thinking back, she hadn't had many interactions with that person. Their first encounter was when she was almost in despair and had given up thinking; he saved her. Although that person probably didn't even know the reason behind it, he simply disliked Accelerator and stepped in to teach the strongest in Academy City a lesson. Saving her was just an extra bonus. There was no affection between them. In that person's eyes, she was probably just a strange woman who would chase after him and electrocute him even when asking for directions. That impression was absolutely terrible.

The second meeting was near Tokiwadai, where I witnessed the ambiguous actions between that person and "mind control".

That wicked woman who calls herself a queen and always manipulates people with her abilities used her powers to control that person, forcing him to become her rumored boyfriend under her "mind control"!

"That guy! He must have heard about him defeating the strongest in Academy City and wants to use him for something!"

Just thinking about that incident makes Misaka Mikoto grit her teeth in hatred!

Midway through, a "spirit from another world" appeared, claiming to be the embodiment of an urban legend and a character from a light novel. Kuroko acted strangely, as if it were true. Kuroko herself was also a transmigrator or something. When she came to her senses, Misaka Mikoto realized that she had already forgotten that the wicked woman had used her power to control that person, and she had already returned to her dormitory!

Looking back, it was all a show orchestrated by that wicked woman using her abilities! Her goal was to fool her with this absurdity and cover up that person's affair!

"Damn it!"

Misaka Mikoto's emotions suddenly became agitated again, and she couldn't wait to go and confront "Psychocontrol" face to face!

[Ding! A newbie invited you to join the Dimensional Chat Group]

Agree/Yes

A speech bubble suddenly appeared in front of Misaka Mikoto's eyes, startling her so much that her ahoge (antenna-like hair sticking up) immediately stood on end—what was this thing?!

A chat group invitation suddenly popped up? But the problem is that the three options below seem to insult Misaka Mikoto's intelligence. No matter how you look at it, all three options are "agree," meaning that once you receive this invitation, there is absolutely no possibility of joining!

Moreover, the place where the invitation appeared was also very strange. It wasn't on her phone or her computer, but suddenly appeared in her line of sight, seemingly directly affecting her brain so that she could see the invitation visually!

sizzle-

"That guy!"

Misaka Mikoto immediately thought of the culprit!

She is the third of the seven top Lv.5s in Academy City. Ordinary ability users simply cannot compete with her. The only psychological ability that can affect her brain is "mind control"!

"Although I don't know how you broke through my electromagnetic field, very well, I accept your challenge!"

"Mental Control" is useless against "Railgun" because electromagnetic ability users unconsciously generate electromagnetic fields around their bodies, interfering with the calculation of "Mental Control" ability, so it cannot work on "Railgun".

However, nothing is absolute. Even the so-called strongest No.1 in Academy City can be defeated by a spiky-haired high school student. So it's not impossible that "Mental Control" has some trump card that can bypass the electromagnetic field and affect her "Railgun".

However, there must be some restrictions, otherwise, given that woman's vile character, it would be impossible for her to simply send her an invitation that she could not refuse. She might not be able to erase her personality, but she would definitely not hesitate to look through her memories!

"Hey! I don't know where you're hiding, but you better not let me find out that you've attacked Kuroko and Kuroko again, or I'll definitely not let you off the hook!"

Misaka Mikoto uttered those harsh words, knowing that the vile woman was definitely watching her from somewhere, and knew what she was saying and doing!

Otherwise, how would we see her struggling in the trap?

Please enter your ID: _____

[GuaTao has been confirmed]

[Guatai has joined this group]

This is a dimensional chat group.

[This is not magic, not superpower, and not an art; it is a unique miracle, a miracle that connects all dimensions and brings together destined individuals from all worlds.]

"Hmph, that kind of chuunibyou stuff, I'm not that kind of little girl!"

Misaka Mikoto snorted coldly, showing her disdain. No matter what, she absolutely could not show any emotion other than toughness towards that nasty woman.

Let her see what this vile woman is up to after breaking through her electromagnetic field—

Paid newbie: Huh? A new player has arrived, at a time like this?

Newbie here to fill in: Little ones! Your dad's back!

Just as Misaka Mikoto entered, she saw a brightly lit group admin pop up, but it didn't seem to be that woman. This made Misaka Mikoto, who wanted to immediately make a harsh statement in the group, slow down and decide to see how things would develop.

She wasn't stupid, and she realized that it probably wasn't that woman who was behind it.

"But I won't let my guard down!"

The thought that she might have actually said something hurtful in the empty dormitory made Misaka Mikoto blush!

Impossible! This thing was definitely made by that woman, just to make her look foolish!

Chapter 258 Since you want to seek excitement, change clothes

Newbie just there to fill a spot: What? What? I'm the one who possesses this ability?

Miss Fox expressed her utter confusion, completely baffled by what the newcomer was saying.

In her mind, this newcomer joined the group while she was offline, and the people in the group should have explained what needed to be explained and done what needed to be done. Could it be that this guy was planning to conspire to mess with her?

That won't do. She's the one who plays tricks on people all the time. There's no reason for a cricket-related group to play tricks on her!

Newbie just there to fill the numbers: Oh, this? Yes, that's right, I am the embodiment of this ability. What brings you here?

Hmph, the clever Miss Fox has seen through everything; these little tricks won't fool her!

For example, the group ID "Guatai" is practically telling you that the newcomer is the third of the top seven in Academy City, "Breast Decline," but that's not actually the case.

Miss Fox wouldn't just consider things so one-sidedly. Whether it was the frog's group ID or the deliberate use of the word "ability" to mislead her thinking, Miss Fox could tell at a glance that this frog wasn't "breast size declining"! It was all just to mislead her, to make her think she had seen through everything, when in reality it was just a trap, a trap set by this group of silly group members and newcomers to play with her!

"Hmph, you think you can fool me with that? That's too sweet!"

Miss Fox snorted coldly, showing great disdain.

She had even guessed that some ordinary high school student would jump out to cooperate with the newcomer and completely nail the stereotype that the newcomer was from Academy City with "decreased breast size" into her mind, thus confining her to that stereotype.

Unfortunately, she has now guessed it, so this tactic will naturally no longer work.

A bunch of idiots brought along a newbie to scam her, to swindle such a precious and valuable angel. Is this okay? This is not okay!

Newbie just there to fill a spot: Hey newbie, judging from your ID, you must be the third "breast size decliner" in Academy City, right?

Newbie here to fill in the numbers: May I ask what brings you here?

So Miss Fox decided to play along. Since you want to play, she'll play along to the end.

She's made it clear right now: if this play isn't finished, then nobody's going to be fighting in the dance studio today!

Guatai: Milk production is decreasing!?

(╬￣俣)! !

"This guy!!"

Misaka Mikoto was furious. What kind of skill is it to attack someone's undeveloped area right off the bat! Do you think you're that big?!

However, through this, Misaka Mikoto also realized that the person who attacked her like this was either one of "Mental Control's" subordinates or someone with some connection to "Mental Control." Without a Level 5 backer, how could she dare to provoke another Level 5?

Surely no one thinks the difference between Lv.4 and Lv.5 is just a matter of one number.

Guatai: Who are you?

Guatai: You used your abilities to pull me into this chat room just to mock me? If that's the case, you really are a dark character.

Misaka Mikoto wanted to hurl a torrent of abuse, but halfway through typing, she realized that if she couldn't physically swear at someone, her vocabulary for insults... didn't sound like she was actually swearing.

Ordinary high school student: Gekota? A new guy?

Newbie just there to make up the numbers: Hehe

Ha, see? A certain ordinary high school student has indeed stood out.

Miss Fox has already guessed what will happen next: she'll definitely cooperate with this Gekota to put on a show, then lure her into believing that Gekota is Misaka Mikoto.

"There's no way they can trick me!"

Regular high school student: Hmm, is the group owner's internet back up? Regular high school student: I was quite worried when your internet suddenly went down, group owner. After all, this is a cross-world chat tool. If the internet is down, I'm not even sure if you need help.

High school student: By the way, what is the principle behind the network signal of this chat room? How is it installed in the brain? Do I have to pay for internet access every month?

Paid newbie: This shouldn't be necessary, since we haven't paid any internet fees.

Ordinary high school student: Speaking of which, the newcomer's name

A typical high school student: It seems to be a kind of virtual character that kids around here really like. I don't really understand why kids these days like Qingwan so much.

Ordinary high school student: The newcomer should be from Academy City, probably still a primary school student!

Newbie just there to make up the numbers: Kid~

Seventeen-year-old girl: Oh, you're kids. Well then, you two need to be more careful with your driving in the future. Don't set a bad example for the kids!

A seventeen-year-old girl: I won't name names here~

Gekota: (╬￣皿￣) What do you mean by that?! There are plenty of middle school students who like Gekota, so why is liking Gekota considered elementary school? That's prejudice!

High school student: Oh, so you're a middle school student? Sorry, sorry. Most middle school students don't seem to like Gekota anymore, so I accidentally mistook you for an elementary school student.

Ordinary high school student: Sorry!

The sincere apology was repeated for the third time, Mr. Kamijou conveying genuine remorse—

But Misaka Mikoto, far away in Tokiwadai, was even angrier!

What do you mean by saying that most students who have entered junior high school don't like Gekota anymore? Isn't that just saying that it's childish for her to still like Gekota after entering junior high school?

"We're both high school students, there's no comparison between us!"

Misaka, who doesn't know much about Mr. Kamijou, vehemently criticizes the ordinary high school students in the group.

Paid newbie: ...

Ruoxue pushed up her glasses. Originally, she planned to stay quiet and do her own thing, but suddenly became interested in the current developments in the group.

Although the exact situation is unclear, I mustered my spirits and tried to piece together the general picture before me:

First of all, the frog should really have "decreased breast size", but the group leader of the velvet ball group doesn't seem to think that the frog has "decreased breast size", but she acts in the group as if she is sure that the frog has "decreased breast size". Hmm, Ruo Xue doesn't quite understand, but the attitude of the velvet ball group leader in wanting to mess with the newcomer is still very obvious.

As for the others, forget about the one who's seventeen years and a few thousand months old; their experience is too limited to understand him. The average high school student will easily figure it out. The only one in the group who doesn't understand the situation yet is someone else entirely, so don't worry about him. The focus should be on the newbie Guatai and the group admin, Rongbuqiu.

"I think I'm starting to understand..."

Ruoxue pushed up her glasses again; she had already seen through the velvet ball group leader!

"Since you want to play, I'll join in too!"

"Master, what are you doing here too?" Ai Ge's little head appeared in Ruo Xue's arms, her two mounds that made Ruo Xue's shoulders ache, and she asked with a grin.
