"Because you killed living people to begin with, while we clones only grew too fast during our creation, failing to evolve normal emotions in time. We're not robots."

George sensed that the mental state of Accelerator was off, and immediately struck at his conscience:

"You're a cruel, vicious murderer. If you hadn't killed them, they would have slowly adapted to having emotions, to living their own lives, just like I did."

Now was not the time to kill the number one ranked individual in Academy City, especially since George still planned to live openly in the city with the other surviving clones.

Thus, when he detected a psychological opening in Accelerator's mind, he immediately used words to provoke him.

If Accelerator voluntarily abandoned the continuation of the experiment, it would be a win-win situation.

If not, George would have no hesitation in eliminating him; after all, leaving behind someone who might seek revenge in the future wasn't an option.

"Turns out, they weren't just puppets."

Accelerator lowered his head, his expression gradually crumbling as a powerful sense of guilt washed over him. He wished he could die on the spot.

"Mind Take!"

Seizing the moment when Accelerator was unable to defend due to his mental collapse, George used the Mind Take spell to pry into Accelerator's memories.

After gaining access to the memories, George felt confident that this plan was working.

However, just as he was about to discuss the next steps with Mikoto Misaka, a green bolt of lightning suddenly shot toward George from a distance.

Sensing the threat, George swiftly dodged the green lightning.

The bolt passed over him and struck a nearby shipping container, piercing through four of them before dissipating. The power of the attack was clearly formidable.

"Who would've thought that a clone could defeat Accelerator, the number one ranked individual? Looks like that ranking can't be taken seriously."

Mikoto Misaka noticed the floating green electric sphere around the woman approaching them. The woman walked forward arrogantly, smirking.

"You must be Clone 9981, right? Don't resist, or your body might get damaged, and that wouldn't be good."

"Who are you people?"

Mikoto Misaka, supported by Clone 9982, approached George's side and asked the woman.

The woman, Mikyoku Shinri, sneered.

"We're the Dark Department's equipment team, tasked by the head of the Suishou Institute of Pathological Research to capture Clone 9981."

"Oh, and by the way, I'm Mikyoku Shinri, a level 5 esper ranked fourth, Atomic Breakdown!"

"Is it because of the abnormalities I've shown that you're paying attention to me?"

George frowned slightly.

"Seems like simply making Accelerator abandon the experiment isn't enough. I need to make these people wary of me as well."

"Accelerator has already been defeated, and the Absolute Ability Evolution Experiment can't continue. Why are you still trying to capture her?"

Mikoto Misaka, still drained from her fight with Accelerator, tried to use her powers, but only small sparks of electricity flickered around her.

Mikyoku Shinri laughed mockingly.

"That's none of my business. I have no idea what plan you're talking about. Our mission is simply to capture her, so you'd better step aside.

Though I would like to have a fight with you, you don't really pique my interest right now."

"It's fine, rest for now, I'll handle this."

George stopped Mikoto Misaka, who was trying to push herself forward, and walked toward Mikyoku Shinri.

"Want to capture me? Let's see if this level five actually has the ability."

"Hmph, a mere level four clone thinks they can talk big after sneaking up on Accelerator? You're too full of yourself."

Mikyoku Shinri lifted the hem of her purple dress gracefully and sat on a nearby rock. She turned to the other two people standing behind her and said:

"Kanari, Flanda, deal with her, but don't kill her, we'll have trouble explaining that later."

Kanari's favorite target was level four espers. She could manipulate nitrogen in the air, lifting small cars, deflecting bullets, and creating nitrogen armor for full protection.

Flanda, a level zero powerless individual, was agile and extremely skilled at using self-made bombs for demolition. Even a level four esper would have a hard time against her.

Together, the two could easily capture a level four clone.

"Leave it to us!"

Flanda pulled out a special handgun and fired a shot at George, while Kanari put on sunglasses and propelled herself toward him using nitrogen, charging at high speed.

The bullet sped toward George but stopped just under a meter away from him.

With his current control over magnetism, not even a missile could get close to him.

*"Bang!"*

The moment the bullet stopped, it instantly exploded with a blinding flash of light.

"That's no ordinary bullet; it's a flash bullet specially made by me!"

Flanda smiled smugly and took the opportunity to pull out a doll bomb from her bag, tossing it around George.

At the same time, Kanari, wearing sunglasses, rushed toward George. Seizing the moment when he was blinded by the flash bullet and hadn't fully recovered, she threw a punch aimed at George's chin.

With the nitrogen-enhanced power in her punch, she could easily flip a car over.

However, what she didn't expect was that, even with his eyes shut, George quickly raised his hand and, with incredible precision, grabbed her fist.

"Quite strong!"

George's face showed a look of surprise.

With the enhanced physical condition George had gained from so many different worlds, catching this little girl's punch with his bare hands was still a bit challenging.

The blinding flash didn't affect him, as his psychic abilities allowed him to "see" the surroundings without relying on his eyes.

"Now it's my turn!"

A surge of violent electricity erupted from George's body, spreading through his fist and flowing toward Kanari.

He still didn't want to reveal his magical abilities unless absolutely necessary.

At this moment, everyone thought he was a mutated Misaka clone, and his several hidden abilities could be explained. However, if he showed too much of his magical powers, things would become complicated.

Especially since magic from the Fairy Tail universe involved magic circles, which would be too conspicuous. If he called it a psychic ability, no one would believe it.

What worried him most was not knowing whether magic existed in this world. If it didn't, that would be fine. But if it did, what would Academy City's stance on magic be, with all its espers?

If magic was considered a hostile force, he could end up being hunted by the entire Academy City, which would be disastrous.

It wasn't that he couldn't escape. Whether through Phantom Shift or the Mirror World, he could easily flee.

But doing so would distance him from the protagonist, Mikoto Misaka, and he might miss some important events. Plus, he still wanted to continue developing his esper abilities here, advancing from level four to level five.

"You actually blocked it!"

Kanari, seeing the electrical currents exploding from George's body, realized that continuing the close-quarters battle was no longer an option. She immediately surrounded herself with nitrogen armor to block the high-voltage current spreading toward her and quickly retreated.
