Chapter 27 (Part 2) - A Certain Third-String Child Error
The prestigious school girl wore an open dark blue coat with a certain school emblem on the left side.
Her blouse underneath her coat was only buttoned by two exposing her red tie and a portion of her big cleavage and belly button.
Her short cinnamon colored hair had glitter, and her brown eyes were equipped with purple eyeshadow. Her red pocketed skirt reached halfway down her thighs. She also wore stockings that reached near her knees with tennis shoes.
The last feature that she had that stood out was her pointy large headphones that made her head seem shaped like a bunny.
While under normal common ground she seemed to look like a party girl, that wasn't the case. This girl was the idea of a genius in Academy City.
She simply flashed her green and white armband, and pointed her finger at the two delinquents.
"That's enough! Judgement is here to answer to the discrimination." A quote that phenomenon came to life, as her sentence took form as clear letters.
The see-through letters rapidly orbit around her body. Finally the visible letters collected into her hand shaping together into a handle, visually appearing to be a clear giant double-faced mallet weapon. The remaining letters in quote, "Judgement" remain levitating center in front of her."
Tedashii was given many talents but right towards the areas that didn't matter at all. Tedashii was smart? That was actually a lie.
He was the boy that had enough value to create a junk scrap motorbike that a loli-goth can ride. He was the boy who could athletically jump down the highest building he could find. But in Academy City he was too stupid to be intelligent enough to telekinetically bend a spoon with his mind.
Academy City.
Besides being the pinnacle city of academia and the ubiquitous all-around study of science and technology, there was another side to it—the esper development institution that was achieved through artificial means and scientific processes.
Targeted at the students, the "powers'' developed would differ into many types according to each person's scenario. Each ability would then be sorted according to the ability's value, power, and practicality, into six different levels: Level 5 (People with SuperPowers), Level 4 (People with Great Powers), Level 3 (People with Strong Powers), Level 2 (People with Unusual Powers), Level 1 (People with Weak Powers), and Level 0 (People with No Powers).
The girl with headphones slapped the remaining judgement letters with her mallet.
The letters were fired into embers of projectiles towards the delinquents. Kuroyoru evades while Tedashii blocks the attacks with the hijacked security robots.
But blocking might have been a mistake for Tedashii.
Her bunny shadow figure from above closed in on Tedashii.
Girl with headphones dropped on the delinquent boy, slamming her huge mallet down upon a security bot, destroying it with great ease.
"Said to be able to withstand a bullet fired, my ass!" Tedashii whines taking steps in caution.
A sudden clap followed the mallet's connected attack that screamed, "That's enough!" Despite Tedashii not being the target for the girl's attack, Tedashii was still struck by a phenomenal vacuum of vibrating waves. It wasn't just some transparent big Mallet, but a talking one at that. A very loud one.
"What the hell?!!" Tedashii panicked, hopping away like a kid that spotted a snake in the backyard for the first time. He used the two remaining security bots to orbit the girl with headphones, carefully spacing away from her reach. This tactic seemed effective as her swings missed afterwards.
The wavy hair delinquent hacker quickly called them back to his front line defense.
The fireflight might have been destroyed but he still had the UVA HERO III droid above himself like a sort of halo. He just had to clear his thoughts and stopped staring at the bunny headphone girl's semi-revealing jiggling physics chest.
Once that was sorted he had to scientifically understand how she produced that mallet and its weakness.
Students with powers improved and developed through Academy City's principles of scientific discovery and improvements.
"Skill-Out? It won't work out for you delinquents, You'll never become special the way you are, so just give up." The girl with headphones swaying shook her head.
Tedashii froze up from her response. It was like he was stabbed in the heart.
Skill-Out "Armed Powerless Group" is an armed group of Level 0's in Academy City. While Tedashii wasn't part of a troublesome gang, he did however have a lot in common with such a group.
Tedashii Hamasaki was the idiot who couldn't bend a spoon telekinetically with his mind in class. He was in fact a "Level 0."
Being a student with super powers was his only chance at any sort of value or desire.
What point was there to invest in money and time inventing a tool to bend a spoon, when the other can telekinetically bend it in less than a minute.
What point was there athletically practicing gymnastics to a pro level when someone could supernaturally fly.
What point was there trying to appeal to look the most adorable and attractive child in the orphanage, when your competition could simply give you a black eye by using their psychic abilities to beat the broad daylights outta of you.
Is what Hamasaki Tedashii the delinquent thought. It was useless, it was meaningless to find talents in different fields.
The bunny headphones girl easily closed in between Tedashii's defenses, supernaturally hopping over the two security robots.
"You seemed very distracted, I was hoping you'll be the type that wouldn't surrender so easily." The bunny headphones girl notes toweling over Tedashii with a leg forward posing in a lean.
While her body attracted a lecherous desire from any boy, her face exposed just the type of character she was.
It was the malevolent face of wanting to find an excuse to use their powers and stay stained to sleep at night by owning their demons in the name of justice.
In contrast it wasn't an exclusive trait to have from the prestigious school girl with bunny headphones. For school city standards she was just an ordinary person it wasn't even worth mentioning her name.
This was what could be stated to be the visual perception of a level 0. To live in a world where you were automatically at the bottom of the food chain.
"What are you doing?! Just sitting there staring at that whore's deadbeat body." Kuroyoru Umidori springs in, attacking with the palm of her hand, unleashing a phenomenon herself.
Kuroyoru's attack missed, the bunny headphones girl escaped the register attack. Spacing and hopping away from the charging Kuroyoru and froze Tedashii. The interaction gave Tedashii enough time to process and lift himself from off his feet.
"You're not so smart! Freak!" Kuroyoru clicks her tongue.
"Oh geez how rude, I was saving the one that mattered last. Consider that a complement." The bunny headphones girl shrugs.
The prestigious school girl's insults drew its final straw for Tedashii but all he could do was clenched his fist.
"Just give me some time, Kuroyoru-Chan!" Tedashii saids holding up his jailbreaker flip flop phone. The security bots wavered around.
Kuroyoru nods with a thumbs up. "Okay! I'll buy you some time till you catch up." Kuroyoru rubs her hands together, concentrating on a phenomenon that emitted an odorless gas upon her palms.
"You're not the only one smart enough to have a trick up your sleeve! My level 2 esper ability allows me to grab ahold of the nitrogen in the air with enough force to bend a metal spoon!!" Kuroyoru boasts, before sprinting towards the bunny headphones girl.
Kuroyoru clenched her nitrogen amplified fist, springing into the air towards the prestigious school girl.
"Aww! How small and cute!" The prestigious school girl said in affection for Kuroyoru.
Headphones girl took a step back but Kuroyoru pushed for the offense.
Kuroyoru's face before she knew it was met face-to-face with a date with the girl's mallet.
Repelled into the air by the headphones girl's attack, Kuroyoru quickly used the momentum to turn her trajectory to land on her feet. But her legs felt numb to a static of vibration.
"What the hell?!" Kuroyoru clicks her tongue. But that didn't stop the mallet swinging girl charging Kuroyoru.
Because the headphones girl's attacks were distant due to her mallet, all Kuroyoru could do was helplessly evade. "Damn it! I can't even counter."
"Mmhmm!" The headphones judgment official boast.
Headphone girl plows Kuroyoru towards a wall but she refuses to break. Kuroyoru fell on all fours, and soon felt locked to her position when letters of "M" latched onto her.
"It's bold to try but that won't ever make you big hun." Headphones girl saids leaning down and poking Kuroyoru's cheek. "You're a level 2 and will remain stuck at level 2 if you can't stick with the regiment.
So it only makes sense you'll fall short to a responsible big level 4 such as myself."
"Level 4?!" Tedashii's whimper, his perspiration soaked face exposed his lackluster confidence.
"C'mon. You know I'm right! Just look at the difference between myself and you. My mom told me to drink plenty of milk and see how healthy that paid off. You'll never impress that boy being as small as you are." Headphones girl saids and nodded, she flexed a bit as her chest jiggle annoying Kuroyoru for the last time. Tedashii's stun stare added to the salt.
The black hair with bleached blonde edges around her ears level 2 esper clenched her fist, her face swelled up like a tomato.
But suddenly a cylindrical droid swift in between the headphones girl and Kuroyoru. Headphones girl leaps away blocking the shove attack.
Tedashii, still in control of the two hijacker security bots attacked with one bot while the other supports Kuroyoru. "Don't let her play you!" Tedashii shouts. "She's just trying to make you pass out with your own nitrogen hands!" Kuroyoru quickly realized her palms still had concentrated nitrogen escaping her own locked hands.
Headphones girl leaps away blocking the shove attack from the security bot.
"Level 2 or not! It's far cry being an esper than some level 0! Just stick with the plan, you don't need someone like that telling you who you should be!" Tedashii helps his hijack bot untangle the blushing Kuroyoru.
Kuroyoru pushes some distance from herself, refusing Tedashii's aid, breaking the hold of letters off herself, by overpowering them with her nitrogen. Seeing that broke a smile upon Tedashii's face as she was the one helping him up.
Kuroyoru Umidori was never the type to incite the feeling that she needs to be protected.
Headphones girl destroyed another security bot leaving Tedashii with only one robot left that was hacked. Tedashii gulped as he once lost his confidence once more.
But Kuroyoru's pride remained intact.
"Hey Judgment whore! You follow the rules and it lefted you hooked on your false standards. You let those adults tell you what to do and it made you big? Don't make me laugh! I'm great because I can make myself better without being told how. I don't care if you can make letters float around or hold up that fat ass mallet. Those parents and teachers of yours didn't help your cow ass in shape for exercise. So that weapon and yourself hold no weight." Kuroyoru quotes smacking her locked hands together, as a phenomenon forged within her lock palms.
It shifts out her hands in the form of some sort of lance. A new technique was born at the moment and Kuroyoru wields it boldly.
"But for me I can come up with something far better on my own!" Kuroyoru held out the newly formed lance in her hand. "Nitrogen Lance... No, my Bomber Lance will break the gap between your attacks and mine!"
Tedashii was admiringly stunned by Kuroyoru's new trick.
"Spoken like a truly lost soul. Allow me to correct your path!" The headphones girl darted towards Kuroyoru. Kuroyoru wasted no time engaging as the two girls began to clash their phenomenal weapons at one another.
"Wow! If only I could be like them." Tedashii Hamasaki's envy swells up in despair. The feeling of being a background character in Academy City just spelled why he felt like he was a child error.
"Com'on Tedashii hurry up!" Kuroyoru's order and demanding shouts quake Tedashii's senses.
"Oh! Uhh right!" Tedashii's perspiration trouble face returned, helplessly peering puzzled at the prestigious girl's attack. "Why are her attacks clear like Kuroyoru's nitrogen?! Maybe it's made out of nitrogen as well? No if that was the case she wouldn't have gone through so much effort blocking them."
But then Tedashii noticed the headphones girl's mallet drizzle from the back and forth clashes of Kuroyoru's lance. It must be air! A balloon! Tedashii's thoughts kick into rapid gear believing he solves the problem to the equation.
"That's it! Kuroyoru! Stab the mallet!" Tedashii shouts.
"What?!" Kuroyoru made a quick glance at Tedashii but returned all her focus onto the judgment girl's wrath.
"Just do it! Throw your lance if you have to!"
"I'll try!" Kuroyoru tried throwing her lance and the judgement officer headphones girl made the blocking mistake. Kuroyoru took a step back instead of forward, holding her lance to aim.
"Damn... I messed up. This little delinquent freshman punks!" The prestigious headphones girl remained frozen and shook.
But the nitrogen exploded creating a steam of pressure... but that was all. It was like it just consumed into a wave of air that blew with no impact whatsoever.
"Oh... crap." The delinquent goth girl said standing there dull and empty handed. Tedashii stood puzzled but knew one thing: it was still a checkmate.
"Eh..." Prestigious girl with headphones with a shrug. "Umm what was that? ... Eh, nevermind. I realize I didn't really care at all."
"How is your air mallet still intact?! Even if that attack failed, the intensity was still strong?" Tedashii was puzzled, desperate for an answer from the headphones girl's mallet to his flawed quick equation.
"Yeah... No. my mallet is not made out of air." The Prestigious headphones girl smacks Kuroyoru Umidori with her transparent mallet, rocking her into Tedashii Hamasaki and his remaining hack security droid.
An explosion of sound waves pierce through violently hitting the UVA HERO III droid apart into pieces.
"You can think about it for as long as you sit in juvenile cutie." Prestigious girl with headphones placed her now free hands to her waist with a wink. Tedashii blushes and Kuroyoru rolls her eyes.
Not long a group of SWAT style armor would approach the scene arresting both Tedashii Hamasaki and Kuroyoru Umidori.
Of course in hindsight it was only right, this was a sight seen from the wrong point of view. The prestigious girl with headphones with the mallet was the main character. And only the protagonist must or should be the most entertaining to watch. The judgement girl, the high level esper. Hell if you asked anyone in a setting such as Academy City.
A city for talent, one of the main protagonists should be one of the only seven level 5 espers in Academy City. A hero/heroine with superpowers.
It seems this story wasn't for anyone in particular... or rather...
