Chapter 361: Only Believe What I Hear

"Listen to my explanation, I really am not what you think I am." Li An tried to explain again while dodging Kamijou Touma's attacks.

"I only believe what I hear!" Kamijou Touma refused to listen; his attacks grew fiercer, every punch carrying his anger and sense of justice.

The two traded blows on the street, the air around them humming from the collision of their abilities. Streetlamps along the road shook, their lights flickering uncertainly as if they would go out at any moment. Pedestrians on the roadside screamed in terror, scattering in all directions to find safe places to hide.

Li An felt extreme anxiety in his heart; he neither wanted to clash with Kamijou Touma nor worried that continuing this would affect his participation in the tournament. While dodging, he thought rapidly in his mind, using the system to analyze the principle behind Kamijou Touma's special ability.

Suddenly, Li An's eyes lit up; he had found the flaw in Kamijou Touma's ability. Just as Kamijou Touma swung his fist to attack again, Li An did not dodge but quickly reached out his hand, grabbing Kamijou Touma's wrist.

"You..." Kamijou Touma widened his eyes in surprise; he tried to break free but found his strength seemed restrained by an invisible force.

"Your ability is powerful, but it is not flawless." Li An said calmly, his eyes revealing confidence. "You have been misled; I am not a bad person."

Kamijou Touma froze; looking at Li An, his heart began to waver. The people around also fell silent, watching this scene in surprise. The atmosphere that had been tense with hostility just moments ago now became somewhat subtle.

At that moment, Shokuhou Misaki, who had been hiding in the shadows observing, curled her lips into a cold sneer: "Hmph, interesting. I didn't expect this Li An to actually have some skills." A hint of jealousy showed in her eyes; looking at Guo Yao beside her, her dissatisfaction grew stronger. "That Guo Yao, on what grounds can she be with him?"

Guo Yao stood in the crowd, watching Li An confronting Kamijou Touma, her heart filled with worry. Her hands were tightly clasped together, her knuckles turning white from the force: "Li An, you must be okay."

Saten Ruiko was also nearby, her eyes flashing with tension and worry: "Why would Classmate Touma fight with Li An? This must be a misunderstanding."

Misaka Mikoto leaned against the wall by the street, a cunning smile hanging on her lips: "Interesting. Who knows how this farce will end." A hint of amusement showed in his eyes, while he also secretly observed the surroundings; as a member of the Dark Side, he had to ensure everything remained under control.

Meanwhile, Accelerator stood on the rooftop of a distant building, coldly overlooking everything. No emotion showed in his eyes, as if everything before him had nothing to do with him: "Fights between ants are truly boring." But a hint of curiosity arose in his heart toward Li An; what was so special about this man who drew everyone's attention? (Qian Ma Zhao)

Misaka Mikoto stood on the other end of the street, arms crossed over her chest, her eyebrows slightly furrowed: "What is going on? That Li An does not look like a bad person." A hint of confusion showed in her eyes, while she also vigilantly observed the surroundings to prevent other accidents from occurring.

Kamijou Touma looked at Li An; the anger in his heart gradually subsided, but his eyes still filled with suspicion: "You say I have been misled. What evidence do you have?"
