Chapter 4 :

"Arrrrgggghhhhhhh!"

Touma collapsed and fell down to the ground suddenly.

"Touma, what's wrong!?" Mikoto turned and shouted at him with worrying tone. She kneeled down looking at him and tried to help him up.

"My right hand, it's Hot! Argh!" He clenched his right fist and grabbed his right arm with his left hand tightly. The black light was shining from his right arm. He clenched his teeth from the pain. "Arghh! Why?"

The sky turned dark. The strength wind blowing seemed like there was a storm approaching. Everything became terrible.

"What did you do to him?! Stop it, NOW!"

"Well... It's only the-"

*ZAP!*

Shin suddenly received Mikoto's lighting spear. But before it could reach him, the lighting spear stopped and cracked like the glass before splitting into 6 lines and changing directions.

"I SAID RIGHT NOW!" The sparks of electricity flowed around her. Mikoto clenched her fists tightly. She was very angry.

"Heh. My-my... The time has come, my lady...No one can stop this...You should just calm down and watc- Hm?" Shin smirked, but then, he noticed that something was wrong.

The sky suddenly turned back to normal and the wind had stopped. The clouds flew away and let the sun shine like there wasn't anything that happened before. All it left was the spiky-haired boy, who was still kneeling on the ground.

"..."

The black light coming from his arm turned to white. The white thick serpentine lines tattoo appeared along his. He remained silent when everything changed. Then, he suddenly fell and lied on the ground unconscious.

"T-Touma, hang in there!" Mikoto was frightened. She looked at Touma who was unconscious on the ground and shook him a little to try to wake him up, but he gave no response.

"What the- ...Why is this happening?... Impossible..." Shin was shocked. This wasn't going according to his plans. He stared at the white tattoo on Touma's right arm for a second.

"... I see... A secondary seal, huh?" He took out a black dagger from his coat.

"...In that case, I have no choice but rip that arm off!"

"...You... YOU! I won't let you do anything to him anymore!" Mikoto sent off another lighting spear. This time it had more voltage and was bigger than before. The blue ray of lighting flew towards the mysterious man.

*CRACK*

But, just liked before, the lighting spear stopped and split out before it changed directions.

"...!?"

"An esper like you can't stop me... Step aside before you get hurt, my lady..." Shin said as walked slowly to his target.

"I'm not your lady! How's this!?" Mikoto concentrated more. She focused her lighting and spread it wide. The light bulb nearby flashed and exploded. A black cloud flew in from nowhere and condensed above her head. She released all of her energy.

*CLAP*

The thunderclap struck its target. The sparks of lighting spread along the ground from Shin's standing point. However, it only made a scratch on his cheek.

"...Good try, but not enough..." He smirked and continued to slowly walk towards the unconscious boy. His red eyes illuminated more.

Mikoto stepped back and panted.

'What's with this guy? It seems like he keeps negating my lighting. No... this feeling... it's not the same as that idiot does. What ability does he possess!?'

She picked an arcade coin out of her pocket.

"Well... how about this one?" She readied herself to shoot her deadly move.

"...How troublesome girl..." Shin raised his dagger above his head. The black dagger glowed with a strange light. More men in black coats suddenly appeared around Mikoto. There were six of them.

'There are more of them!? ...This is bad... I have no more energy to shoot them all at the same time. And what if they all have the same ability... Tch!' She looked at her enemies. They drew the same black sword out of their coats and waited for Shin's order.

However, she couldn't hold back. She had something to protect.

In the moment Mikoto focused on the others, Shin disappeared and reappeared in front of her, holding his black dagger tightly. The dagger flashed more black light, ready to stab the target.

"!"

Mikoto was defenseless.

"...It will only hurt a little, but I have no choice, my lady... You made me to do this..."

*STAB!*


*STAB!*

Blood spilled out. The red liquid flowed along the black dagger drop by drop. Mikoto was shocked. She was stabbed. Being the rank#3 strongest Esper of Academy City, it had never happened before...

...But she didn't feel any pain somehow...

"...!?"

Both Shin and Mikoto were surprised...

It was the blood from someone else.

It was Kamijou Touma who used his own right hand to block the attack. The dagger pierced through his hand. The blood was dripping out from his wound.

"..T-Touma?"

"..."

No response came from him. He was still unconscious. His closed eyes made it seem as if he was only daydreaming.

... Except, the evil smiled on his face made it look like he enjoyed the pain.

He gripped attacker's hand and dagger tightly. The familiar crack sound was heard. The dagger broke into many fragments before it turned into dust. Touma twisted his body a little. The unknown energy exploded and pushed Shin away from him. Shin flew back and his black coat was torn.

"..!?...What the?... Kill Them!" Once he landed, Shin ordered to the others.

The men in black coats readied their weapons. But, before they moved, illusions that look like Touma appeared before them and attacked at the same time.

*BOOM*

The result of the attack was the same as Touma had done before. The unknown energy exploded and pushed them away. All of them flew in random directions and landed on the ground unconscious before his illusions disappeared.

"...This power...This feeling... It can't be..."

Shin's face turned pale. He knew exactly what he was facing now.

"I had been following my lord for a long time! I'm not giving up yet! In the name of Hatred, I beg the spirits of the wind, Silf'e... Become my weapon and destroy my enemy. Wind Blade!"

The wind flowed around the man and fused together before blasting toward Touma and Mikoto. It cut through leaves in the air split the ground along the way. However, it didn't harm them at all. Touma stopped it with his right hand. The Wind Blade suddenly disappeared before him.

"... heh... In the name of the Chosen, I beg the spirits of the wind, Silf'e... Become my weapon and destroy my enemy. Wind Blade..."

Touma muttered to himself. He raised his left hand up. He released the same 'Wind Blade' as Shin had released. The same version of magic flew toward Shin.

"...Ugh!..."

The Wind Blade was blocked. It cracked and turned into normal wind when it touched him. But before he could hold himself after blocking the Wind Blade, Touma's illusion reappeared and kicked him in the stomach. There was another explosion of energy.

*BOOM*

"...Gahhh!"

The man flew up about six meters and landed once again. He hadn't received any harm from the attack. But his coat and hood torn apart more, which showed his appearance clearly. He had long black hair, red evil eyes and a tattoo on his cheek. The tattoo was the same as the emblem that he used to cast the Seal Release magic.

"...T-Touma… H-how can you do that?" Mikoto gasped with surprise. She was looking at what Touma had done the whole time.

"Tch! So, how's this!"

Shin raised his hands up. A dark aura radiated out from his body. He tried doing something. But, his target wasn't Touma... It was Misaka Mikoto.

"...!" She felt something terrible. Just like a fire burning in her heart.

But before he had done anything, he heard siren sounds from far away. Anti-skill had made their move. He suddenly stopped and disabled his Aura.

"...Tch! How lucky... That's enough for today... Don't think I will give up on you, my lord!..."

Shin gave a death glare to them with his evil eyes. He drew his hand around and some kind of magic circle appeared under his feet.

"Wait! I won't let you escape!" Mikoto shouted after him. She once again readied her Railgun.

"Don't say that like I'm a coward. I don't want any trouble from this city's security. ...Until next time..." Shin disappeared before she could shoot.

"..."

As soon as Shin left, Touma suddenly collapsed and fell to the ground. His white tattoo along his right arm disappeared. The blood from his wound on his right hand was still dripping out. It spread around where his hand lied.

"Touma!"


Finally, Anti-skill arrived in on scene. The park was ruined. The ground split and many trees uprooted. Many people lied on the ground, including Touma. Yes, Shin left his companion. He escaped alone by himself. The only one that hadn't a single scratch was Misaka Mikoto who was standing in the midst of many unconscious people.

"Well, I got the notification that high level Espers have been fighting in the park-jan. But I didn't think it would be you." The tall woman with the long ponytail said curiously. She was Anti-skill lieutenant. Ending the sentence with 'Jan' was her singularity.

"Yomikawa-sensei..." Mikoto answered while looking sadly at the ambulance that was preparing to take the spiky-haired boy and the others to hospital. She didn't know what to say next.

"Don't worry, we will take care of them-jan. Anyway, would you mind tell me about what happened here-jan?"

"Well... Those guys... They tried to attack me... and I had to defend myself. Then, one of them had escaped." She summarized the situation for Yomikawa Aiho. Though, she still looked sadly at the ambulance.

"Including that punk boy? He's my student-jan. So I'll-"

"No! H-He tried to save me! N-no, not tried to, he actually saved me!" Mikoto shouted to cut her off and muttered that last sentence. But it was true. If it wasn't for Touma, she would have been the one who would be taken by the ambulance by now.

"Oi-oi, no need to shout-jan." Aiho waved her hands to try to calm Mikoto down."I know exactly who Kamijou Touma is. As I said he's my student-jan. This is not the first time. Anyway, who was the one that escaped from you-jan?"

"I-I don't know. He said that his name's Kirai Shin. He seemed like a multi-skill Esper. He could control the wind, block my lighting, even teleport." Mikoto answered, thinking about her opponent. She was powerless against him.

"Multi-skill? Sound like trouble .I'll dig him up somehow-jan." Aiho said as she looked at Mikoto who was still looking at the ambulance.

"*Sigh* Well if you're still worried, you can-"

"Excuse me. What's the situation here?"

A pink twin-tailed girl appeared suddenly and showed her Judgment armband.

"Kuroko!?"

"Well, you see, some Espers showed their stupid side with our Level 5 here-jan." Aiho answered with smirk.

"H-Hey, it did not-" Mikoto tried to explain but she was cut off.

"I see. So, it's related to Onee-sama again." Kuroko said, ignoring what Mikoto tried to say.

"Wa-"

"Did you read our reports that were sent lately, Yomikawa-sensei?"

"Hmm?" She thought for a sec."...A-hahaha, do you mean that bunch of papers? I'm a bit busy and in a hurry for being here-jan. So..." The truth was, she totally forgot about reading the Judgment reports that had been sent in recently.

"As I thought." Kuroko sighed and muttered to herself.

"Hey! Don't ignore me! What did you mean "again"? Kuroko!" This conversation was confusing her. But it seemed to be related to her after all.

"..."

"..."

Both of them were silent.

"I guess I have no choice. Onee-sa-... Misaka Mikoto, this is Judgment and you are under arrest for involvement related to the increasing of crime rate! Follow me, or I will have to use force to arrest you!" Kuroko pulled her Judgment armband and said something that she never would've believed it came out from her.

"Huh!?"


"..."

His hands couldn't move...

"..."

His legs were frozen...except the feeling...

"..."

His heart still beat. That was the signal of life.

"...Hmm...?"

Finally, he awoke. Kamijou Touma was opening his eyes...This dark place... His body lied on the same surface as before. He got up and looked around.

"...Again?"

No, it was different. It didn't make him feel bad like it has before. It felt, warmer, safer, and soft.

'...I came here to warn you...'

The sound echoed all over the place. It was deep and heavy, but soft.

"W-who are you!?"

'...I saved you once, but not twice...'

"Huh!? What do you mean?" He tried to move but he found that his body was completely frozen.

'...When the moment of weakness comes, do not call it for the power...'

"What are you talking about!?...eh?"

A strange black liquid leaked out from the surface flowing and approached to him. Other than that, he saw someone's back, someone with short, hazel colored hair.

'...More love means more pain...'

"H-Hey...!" The black liquid began to flow up and cover his feet.

'...Remember, this power… belongs to you...but not everything...'

The black liquid covered him more. Before it covered his face, he could see the one. The one with hazel colored hair, was all covered with the same black liquid and began to melt down.

'...Remember...'

"STOP!"

Kamijou Touma woke up suddenly. He found himself in the same hospital room as usual. He panted hard, and his heart beat fast. He felt like it stopped beating before. His hands were cold and his face was pale.

"*huff*... *huff*...What's...happening?"

He was alone in the room. Outside the window, it was dark. Night time struck the city. He didn't know how long he slept. He looked at his right hand. It had gauze wrapped all around his arm. It hurt.

Another dream?... Maybe...

"..."

He raised his right hand up and looked at his forehand while thinking about that one back...

"...!"

He clenched his right hand tightly. The pain filled his hand due the wound.

"..."

Why is this nightmare still haunting him so much? Why did he keep dreaming about these strange things? And why does she always appear?

"..."

'...More love means more pain...'

"...

...Love..., huh?"
