Chapter 976: The Caffeinated Showdown
Chapter 976: The Caffeinated Showdown
Kamijou Touma listened to Night City's words, his grip tightening around the coins in his hand. Despite trying to keep his cool, he couldn't help but feel infuriated. He had just dealt with numerous Misaka clones, and now, with his favorite canned coffee taken, his patience was wearing thin.
The last can of coffee in the vending machine had caught his eye first, but due to a lack of change, he had to get some from the supermarket counter. He didn't expect that in the short time he was gone, Night City would beat him to it.
As the strongest esper in Academy City, Kamijou had never been so blatantly provoked.
"Seems like you're asking to be taken care of!"
With his Vector Control ability, Kamijou manipulated the coins in his hand, launching them with the force and speed of bullets. The coins, propelled by his power, accelerated multiple times in mid-air.
"Boom!"
The coins flew with astonishing speed and destructive force. As they grazed Night City's face and finally landed behind him on the vending machine, the kinetic energy was so intense that it shattered most of the machine, setting off a blaring alarm.
"I won't say it again. The canned coffee in your hand is mine; I saw it first."
Kamijou had intentionally aimed the coins to miss, as he had never harmed ordinary people despite his fearsome reputation in Academy City.
However, just as Kamijou thought his actions would deter Night City, he noticed a smirk on the latter's face. Night City also produced a coin from his pocket and, with a flick of his finger, sent it flying towards Kamijou with incredible speed!
"Boom!"
A loud noise echoed from behind Kamijou. Seeing the coin graze his face and blast a hole in the wall behind him, Kamijou's expression changed as he turned to Night City.
"So, you're an esper too. But are you prepared to face the consequences of provoking me?"
Most of the espers in Academy City were students, and it was rare to find someone of Night City's age with such abilities. However, this detail was now insignificant. Kamijou had initially held back, assuming Night City was an ordinary person, as he had no interest in tormenting the weak.
The daily battles with the Misaka clones had become tedious, but now, with the emergence of a seemingly capable esper, Kamijou felt a surge of excitement.
"I'm not an esper from Academy City, but an aspiring teacher. And I believe I can handle the consequences of angering you, Kamijou."
Kamijou was taken aback by Night City addressing him by name, as he was only a "phantom student" in the records.
And since the opponent, knowing that he was 'Accelerator', still dared to provoke him like this, it indicated that the opponent was also a fool with an overinflated sense of his own strength.
As the No.1 in Academy City, there had been many self-proclaimed extraordinary individuals who wanted to challenge him, and quite evidently, in the current Accelerator's eyes, Night City was one of them.
Accelerator didn't care if the opponent was a teacher or anyone else; since they had provoked him, they would have to pay the price.
In Academy City, the "strongest" and "invincible" Accelerator possessed an almost unbeatable superpower, "Vector Control."
He could adjust, concentrate, and bestow new forms and properties to energy, generating immense destructive power with just a tiny bit of strength.
Moreover, he could manipulate various types of known energies, including kinetic, thermal, and electrical energy.
The reason Accelerator was called the strongest and invincible was not solely due to his ability and ranking but also because, according to the precise calculations of the "Tree Diagram," among the seven Espers in Academy City, only the top-ranked Accelerator had a chance to evolve into an Absolute Ability (Level 6).
According to the computer's calculations and simulations, even someone as powerful as the third-ranked Esper in Academy City, 'Railgun' Misaka Mikoto, would, in an all-out life-or-death battle, eventually be killed by Accelerator after several hundred rounds.
Therefore, it could be said that Accelerator's strength was beyond doubt, and he indeed had the audacity to be arrogant.
At this moment, Accelerator merely waved his arm, and with the concentrated wind energy hitting a single point and through calculations and manipulation of air currents, a gigantic wind blade was instantly wielded by Accelerator.
Watching as the ground was instantly plowed into a trench, Night City's expression remained unchanged, and he clenched his fist, unleashing a powerful punch!
"Boom—Boom—Boom—Boom!"
The sharp wind blade, capable of slicing through concrete floors and steel bars, was instantly shattered by Night City's punch. The original giant wind blade, at the moment of shattering, also turned into numerous smaller wind blades, wreaking havoc on the supermarket where the two were located in an instant.
At this moment, in the agency responsible for the "Absolute Ability Evolution Plan," a drone that had been monitoring Accelerator suddenly transmitted the scene of his conflict with Night City to the research institution.
When the people in the research institution discovered this, they continuously reported the situation to the main personnel in charge.
"Is 'Accelerator' engaged in a battle? But all the Misaka clones delivered today were supposed to have been destroyed by Accelerator."
The primary person in charge of developing and researching Accelerator's abilities, Kihara Gensei, looked at the assistant who came to report with confusion.
"It's not a clone from the Ability Creation Plan, but a young man.
According to the impact data, it seems that due to some verbal dispute, the man had a conflict with Accelerator, and as a result, they got into a physical fight. Now, the entire supermarket they're in has been completely destroyed."
Upon hearing the assistant's report, Kihara Gensei was taken aback for a moment, then hurriedly spoke up, "Transfer the relevant footage to me immediately, and also collect and analyze all data related to Accelerator's body.
And within five minutes, I want to obtain all information about the man fighting Accelerator as well!"
