“I really didn't expect… what's happening again?” It hadn't even been half a day since he was last here, and Kamijou Touma's mood was somewhat complicated.
“Rin Mumyou is trapped inside?” Stiyl also frowned as he looked at the Misawa Cram School in front of him. “Is Aureolus crazy? What exactly does he want to do?”
“We can talk about those things later,” Shokuhou Misaki stepped forward. “Kamijou-senpai, we need your help. You're the only one who can do this!”
“No problem, leave it to me!” Kamijou Touma patted his chest without hesitation, guaranteeing his help.
Having decided to come here, Kamijou Touma had already prepared himself.
“Thank you very much!” Shokuhou Misaki bowed in gratitude, then took a cardboard box from Kazakiri Hyouka's hands. “Please deliver this to Mumyou-senpai.”
“Delivering things is no problem,” Kamijou Touma scratched his head, “but the Misawa Cram School has turned into a labyrinth. I'm not sure if I can find Mumyou.”
“There's no need to worry about that,” Shokuhou Misaki pointed to Misaka Mikoto and said, “Misaka-san will be responsible for relaying communications! Also, Kamijou-senpai's wheelchair and Mumyou-senpai's are the same model. They are equipped with a companion communication function, so you can determine each other's location.”
So, after Kamijou Touma goes inside, he can find Rin Mumyou by simply following the wheelchair's automatic navigation!
Moreover, Kamijou Touma possesses the Imagine Breaker, so many of the mechanisms and traps inside the Misawa Cram School may be ineffective against him.
“Touma!” Index looked at Kamijou Touma with a worried expression, clearly concerned.
Stiyl also frowned beside her, hesitating whether or not to enter the Misawa Cram School with him.
If it weren't for owing Rin Mumyou a favor, Index would definitely stop Kamijou Touma from going on this adventure.
Shokuhou Misaki handed the cardboard box to Kamijou Touma and instructed, “Please be sure to tell Mumyou-senpai that this is just a prototype due to the limited time, and the battery power is limited—it can only last for one hundred and twenty seconds at full power.”
“Battery? So what exactly is inside here?” Kamijou Touma asked curiously.
“It's a collar, just wear it around your neck.” Shokuhou Misaki opened the box to show him. “Mumyou-senpai knows how to use it, just give it to him.”
“Is this Mumyou's secret weapon?” Kamijou Touma carefully closed the box, trying to avoid touching it with his right hand as much as possible.
“I guess you could say that.” Shokuhou Misaki said, “After you give this to Mumyou-senpai, just follow him—Mumyou-senpai will solve all the problems.”
“It really is a secret weapon…” Kamijou Touma exclaimed, “I'm starting to look forward to it.”
“Then I'm off!” Kamijou Touma looked back at Index. “Don't worry, there won't be any problems, I'm just acting as a delivery boy.”
With that, Kamijou Touma steered his wheelchair towards the gates of the Misawa Cram School.
Stiyl suddenly sighed, “Index, I'll leave her to you. I'll go too.”
“No need,” Kamijou Touma said, looking back. “I can do it myself.”
Stiyl snorted, “Rin Mumyou is definitely trapped in the 'other side' right now. Can you ensure that you can also enter the 'other side' alone?”
Without a magician accompanying him, Stiyl doubted that Kamijou Touma's Imagine Breaker would even be able to enter the world, and he might even be rejected by the other side and only be able to wander in the 'surface world'.
Seeing Kamijou Touma's figure completely disappear into the entrance, Shokuhou Misaki secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
“So, what is that collar?” Misaka Mikoto couldn't help but ask, “Is that the thing you went to the hospital to get?”
“It's hard to explain in a few words.” Shokuhou Misaki said, “In short, you can think of it as an ability amplification device for Mumyou-senpai. If my prediction is correct, Mumyou-senpai's strength will become even stronger after equipping it! Misaka, what you need to do is to ensure that the collar's signal is clear, that's very important!”
“Eh~ is that so?” Misaka Mikoto was still somewhat skeptical.
“Yes.” Shokuhou Misaki walked closer, approached Misaka Mikoto's ear, and said softly, “This is to help Mumyou-senpai achieve his long-cherished wish, and only you can do it.”
“Help Mumyou-senpai…” Misaka Mikoto was moved, “…fulfill his long-cherished wish? What is Senpai's long-cherished wish?”
“Is there even a need to ask? Haven't you noticed?” Shokuhou Misaki said, “What Mumyou-senpai has been pursuing all along is strength!”
The inspiration for the collar came from Accelerator's equipment in the original story.
In the original story, because his brain suffered severe damage, Accelerator had to use the electrode collar made for him by Heaven Canceler to borrow the Misaka Network's computing power in order to maintain a normal life and activate his superpower.
Of course, the current Accelerator does not have brain damage, so he naturally does not need to use an electrode collar.
But the function of this device gave Shokuhou Misaki an idea.
The newest novels are first published on !
—Isn't Mumyou-senpai troubled by not being able to effectively utilize the Tree Diagram Designer's computing power?
Now there's a way!
Through the electrode collar—a black technology product personally developed by Heaven Canceler—Rin Mumyou's brain can directly borrow the Misaka Network's computing power.
And by using the Misaka Network as a springboard, he can indirectly use the Tree Diagram Designer!
Since the Misaka Network is composed of Electromasters, it can exchange data with real computers without any obstacles.
The delay loss is almost negligible.
Not to mention, the Misaka Network itself is also a supercomputer, and in certain fields, its performance is no worse than the Tree Diagram Designer.
In this way, as long as the electrode collar can function properly, then Mumyou-senpai's idea of using a supercomputer to compete with the Golden Great Summation Technique in computing power can be realized!
Combined with the Superpower Directory in Rin Mumyou's mind…
Thinking of that scene, Shokuhou Misaki sincerely smiled: “Omniscience, omnipotence—at this point, Mumyou-senpai should be more confident, right?”
“Hey, it's really annoying, always saying things that people can't understand!” Misaka Mikoto complained unhappily. “Since you're already using me, can't you explain it more clearly?”
Shokuhou Misaki looked over with a smile: “But that concerns Mumyou-senpai's ability secrets after all. Are you sure you want to get the answer from me… or wait for Mumyou-senpai to explain it to you directly?”
“...Forget it, I'll just ask Mumyou-senpai directly.” Misaka Mikoto decisively chose the latter.
“So, do your best!” Shokuhou Misaki encouraged her. “Whether this experiment can succeed depends entirely on whether your information security is reliable enough!”
“Hmph, who do you think I am!” Misaka Mikoto raised her head, looking at the Misawa Cram School ahead with full motivation.
