"Eh～ So the big commotion last night was caused by Yoshino. Wow～ That's really scary. Yesterday, when Ruiko was writing her holiday homework, I heard a loud noise and looked out the window, and I saw that blue and white beam of light directly dispersing the clouds in the sky. Is that the power of Magic?"
The next day, Yoshino invited Saten Ruiko to her house as a guest and told her about what happened yesterday. Seeing her reaction, the commotion yesterday was quite big. Fortunately, before it started, Stiyl designed a 'Dispersing Bystanders' Magic Formula around the area that was big enough, otherwise, when Index came into contact with the 'collar', if Security Officer suddenly appeared on the scene, then the outcome would definitely be memory erasure or being killed on the spot. After all, ordinary people can't be allowed to know about the existence of Magic Side. Now, yesterday's events should be going viral on Academy City's website.
"Yesterday was really tiring. Because it was the first time summoning an angel, Yoshino wasted too much spiritual power when converting spiritual power into magical power due to inexperience yesterday, so she hasn't recovered yet." Toujou Nozomi looked at Yoshino, who was sleeping on Suzuya Yuriko's lap with eager eyes. With her current physique, giving Yoshino a lap pillow? Forget it! At most, it would just be a body pillow. So now she can only watch with envy.
"But Senior, you should be Academy City's Number One: Accelerator, right? I didn't expect you to be a girl, and a beautiful girl at that. It's really surprising. Hello, I'm Saten Ruiko, a first-year student at Tsuchimikado Middle School. Please take care of me." Knowing that her contract with Yoshino was earlier than hers, Saten Ruiko didn't have the confidence to call herself a senior in front of this person. She friendly extended her hand to Suzuya Yuriko, looking at her with anticipation.
"...Suzuya Yuriko." Suzuya Yuriko glanced at Saten Ruiko indifferently, gently adjusted her legs to make Yoshino more comfortable as she lay on them, and after a while, she responded indifferently.
"..." The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward. Saten Ruiko's smile froze instantly. She couldn't put her hand down, but she couldn't leave it up either. Sigh～ It's really hard to be a person. Saten Ruiko's background suddenly turned black and white.
"Yuriko, Ruiko is Yoshino's good friend. You can't do that, you know? Yoshino will be sad if you two don't get along. I don't think you want to see Yoshino upset, do you?"
"...Stupid woman." Stroking Yoshino's head, looking at her peaceful sleep on her lap, Suzuya Yuriko felt a tranquility she had never experienced before. She once thought that it would be great if time could always stay like this. But she also knew that her willful thoughts could not be realized, so she should just enjoy the present.
"Hee hee～ Ruiko. Did anything happen in the past few days when Yoshino and I weren't here? Tell me about it now."
"Okay, Sister Nozomi. In the past few days, Disciplinary Committee Member have been investigating something about 'AIM Stalker'. Shirai-san and Senior Misaka are also investigating this thing that can improve people's abilities. But there hasn't been any progress so far. Wasn't it because you told me not to give them the 'AIM Stalker' music? So I've been keeping it until now." As she spoke, she took out her phone and placed it on the table, which contained the 'AIM Stalker' music she had stored.
"Hmm～ Why can a piece of music improve people's abilities? Have the people from the Saintess Cult investigated any news about this? After all, most of the people in the Saintess Cult should be powerless, right? Now, many people have used 'AIM Stalker' to gain superpowers, right?"
"No, the Saintess Cult does not allow the use of 'AIM Stalker'. This is an order personally issued by Accelerator, the class monitor, who is also the leader of the cult."
"Oh? That's really unexpected. Why?" Clearly, Toujou Nozomi had a good understanding of the idea of powerless people wanting to gain abilities during these days. Now that there is an opportunity to gain abilities, why not take this opportunity to gain abilities?
"Don't underestimate the people in the Saintess Cult, Sister Nozomi. We are all organized for Yoshino's smile. Even if some people in the organization really want to gain abilities, they don't want Yoshino to know that they are gaining superpowers in this way. More than superpowers, everyone doesn't want to disappoint Yoshino." This is what Accelerator said to everyone in the entire Saintess Cult during the meeting.
"It seems that your inexplicable organization still has something that I can acknowledge. My opinion of you has changed. I was very disdainful when Toujou Nozomi asked me to join this Saintess Cult organization before. Now it seems that you have improved a bit." Suzuya Yuriko looked at Saten Ruiko with approval. She despised people who wanted to gain something for nothing the most. The reason why she joined this organization in the first place was because it was created for Yoshino, but now it seems that it still has something that she can agree with.
"Um～ Thank you, Senior Yuriko." Scratching her head, she was praised by Academy City's Number One.
"Moreover, our president, Accelerator, discovered the problem existing in 'AIM Stalker' while studying it. It connects the brainwaves of everyone who has listened to 'AIM Stalker' together. When one person's calculation amount is not enough, it is compensated by the calculation amount of multiple people. This is also the reason why none of us use it."
"Oh? What level of ability user is that Accelerator? He can actually come to this conclusion, it seems that his intelligence should not be low."
"No, Class Monitor Accelerator is a Level0 powerless person. But on the first day of self-introduction, he said that his IQ is as high as 220 or more. Now it seems that he is improving every day. Many of our Saintess Cult's plans are also planned by him personally, we are just the executors. And the reason why our Saintess Cult can not be destroyed by Academy City's dark side organizations is also closely related to him. So Class Monitor Accelerator is the person we admire most besides Yoshino. Because her intelligence doesn't seem to be human, she can achieve the point of predicting the future through brain calculations." As she spoke, Saten Ruiko's eyes sparkled. She didn't have any ordinary thoughts about Accelerator, she just admired him.
Having had her brain modified by Yoshino, she still occasionally asks him for knowledge about learning. She once compared her strengthened brain with his brain, and the result was a very cruel complete defeat. She couldn't compare to his perverted intelligence at all.
"Oh? Can a Level0 powerless person do this? Then if Yoshino strengthens his brain, wouldn't he really be able to achieve this kind of prediction? Wouldn't it be too exaggerated?" Toujou Nozomi was very surprised, but she hadn't seen "Infinite Terror", so she said she understood. Because he, who is fearless, can calculate everything into his plan.
"Then how did such an amazing person join the Saintess Cult?" Suzuya Yuriko asked curiously. This kind of person's personality is either very arrogant, or they don't care about anything. How could they join this organization?
"Actually, the name of the Saintess Cult was initially Yoshino Cheerleading Squad. It was renamed the Saintess Cult after hearing Yoshino's singing. The founder of the Yoshino Cheerleading Squad was Class Monitor Accelerator." It's all because Yoshino's charm is too great. Look at how his almost demonic intelligence was fascinated, who can resist Yoshino's charm?
"It seems that Yoshino's charm is really infinite. Yuriko, you must protect her well. Whether it is in this world or in another world."
"...Did I need you to say that?" It seems that her strength is still a bit insufficient. Now she has to ask Toujou Nozomi how to use this power in her body.
In order to help Yoshino in future worlds, Suzuya Yuriko made up her mind.
