Chapter 475

"To crush Heizi so easily! And just now, that lightning made me sense something—you must be a very powerful person. You're not some hidden Level 5, are you?"

Misaka Mikoto spoke faster and more excitedly, her bangs crackling with electric arcs.

Su Han glanced at Misaka Mikoto but didn't respond immediately; instead, he casually looked around.

At this moment, from all directions, many students had clearly seen this scene, whispering among themselves, their gazes occasionally flickering toward the group.

"... Too terrifying! How could this old man possibly be this tall? Even the tallest person in the world isn't this tall!"

"Could he have some strange disease that made him grow this tall? Did he come to Academy City for treatment...?"

"Are you stupid? If such a disease existed, this old man would've been covered by every news outlet by now!"

"Wow... that girl with the sun umbrella is so beautiful! And that girl in the white Hanfu is pretty too."

"Is she from that country across the ocean?"

"I think that teacher with the glasses and the feathered robe is pretty cool too."

Su Han scanned the surroundings; perhaps Academy City, being a city of miracles to begin with,

meant that although everyone was shocked by Bai Hu Zi's height, there was no uproar like in "My Little Sister Can't Be This Cute" or the Naruto world—no emergency deployment of guards.

"But this old man isn't sick—he's truly of the Giant race's bloodline."

Su Han let out a soft sigh and looked toward Aizen Sōsuke.

Aizen gave a slight nod; the meaning was clear: leave it to me.

"Hmm!"

Aizen wore a helpless smile, pushing up his glasses. "The president himself has a Zanpakutō, yet he always makes me handle these things—it's really a headache."

With a helpless sigh, Aizen's hand instantly materialized Kyōka Suigetsu; its ability to manipulate the five senses spread instantly around him.

Instantly, those who had been gathered, excitedly staring this way, all froze.

Then they exchanged glances, confusion appearing on their faces; when they looked again at Bai Hu Zi and the others, their earlier shock and curiosity had faded.

They murmured among themselves briefly, then dispersed again.

Misaka Mikoto's gaze locked onto Aizen, instantly alert, tinged with disbelief.

"This power to manipulate minds—and such a range... It's Shokuhou Misaki!"

Misaka Mikoto involuntarily recalled that other Level 5 from Tokiwadai, the one she didn't get along with.

"Hmm... no, that's not right."

Suddenly, Misaka Mikoto connected something and pointed at Su Han in surprise.

"Controls lightning!"

Then she pointed at Aizen, biting her lower lip, "Can manipulate others' minds."

Misaka Mikoto instantly thought of herself and Shokuhou Misaki.

Her expression turned extremely strange.

Could it really be this coincidental? Step outside and meet a few people who seem incredibly strong, only for their abilities to resemble Academy City's Level 5s? "If that's the case..."

Misaka Mikoto stared at Bai Hu Zi, conflicted. She thought he might be an escaped lab subject or someone with a strange illness, but still felt... even from that angle, Bai Hu Zi was just too tall.

Considering her earlier deductions, Misaka Mikoto ventured cautiously:

"Old man, is your strength immense? Can you produce shockwave attacks or something similar?"

Bai Hu Zi blinked, then glanced at Misaka Mikoto and laughed.

Clearly, the old man had a strong fondness for Misaka Mikoto—this affection clearly stemmed from accumulated admiration for "A Certain Scientific Railgun."

"Guraguragura! If you're talking about physical strength, I'm certainly strong! I'm the man who's said to be able to destroy the world!"

"And if you're asking about shockwave attacks..."

Bai Hu Zi extended his hand; a white aura appeared on his palm. With a light touch, dense cracks formed in the void.

"You mean this?"

Misaka Mikoto's brow twitched; her expression showed shock, then dawning understanding.

"So it's true... physical enhancement! Very similar to that guy with the Psychokinesis Cannon."

Misaka Mikoto turned her gaze to the remaining people, and her expression grew even more peculiar.

Could these guys' abilities really be similar to Academy City's Level 5s? And judging by how the old man shattered the void with a single punch, their power must be at least Level 5... Could this be another secret Academy City experiment? Misaka Mikoto's imagination ran wild.

"Sister, what are you thinking about?"

Bai Jing Heizi saw Misaka Mikoto's suddenly enlightened expression and her face twisted into something extremely strange.

She didn't know what Misaka Mikoto had imagined, but she was certain: Misaka Mikoto had imagined something completely wrong.

No matter how wildly Misaka Mikoto's imagination ran, she could never possibly imagine that the people before her were real, genuine beings from another world.
