In the dark corridor, he waited for the mechanical door in front of him, which looked more like a military center than a research institute, to open, and bright light slowly fell on the white boy.
With his hands in his pockets, Accelerator walked forward expressionlessly, clearing his mind of the 'nonsense' that a researcher just said to him.
Even though the experiment was about to begin, he still looked unmotivated, even though he had heard that the next battle target was a Level 5 clone of the same level as him.
Rather, Accelerator still has some expectations for what kind of "fun" this battle will bring to him.
Yes.
He hasn't fought anyone else at Level 5 yet, so he has expectations, just like he doesn't know what dessert he will have after a meal.
That's all.
(...Is that the third clone...)
Standing in the center of the room made of white material was a brown-haired girl with a cold expression and wearing military night-vision goggles on her head.
Stopping a few meters away from the 'experimental subject', Accelerator habitually showed a sinister smile.
Imitating the tone of a street gangster, he grinned and drew out his tone in a weird voice.
"Hey, are you my experimental subject?"
The third person’s ability is said to be ‘Eleaster’? Then the ‘fake’ made from her body cells should be the same, right?
After greeting him casually in a bohemian tone, Accelerator recalled the few pieces of information that interested him.
I just don’t know how much fun this kind of forgery can bring me.
He thought so.
But soon, Accelerator's 'expectation' turned into 'doubt', and then gradually disappeared.
In the researcher's harsh explanation, it turned into a strange emotion that he himself could not express clearly.

"Imaginary Math Zone·Five Elements Organ".
This is a legend that circulates in Academy City and is believed to be an organization that secretly rules Academy City.
Outside forces believe that this is the "building without doors and windows" where the chairman, Aleister Crowley, lives.
However, these speculations are not the true face of this mysterious school district.
The "Mirage City" is located in another phase with the same coordinates as Academy City, and is formed by the overlap of the "AIM diffusion field" released by 2.3 million espers. This is the correct interpretation.
Logically speaking, it is impossible for 'human beings' to exist here.
However, there are still 'exceptions'.
Among the mottled and gray sidewalks, stood a girl with long black hair and glasses.
She looked a little timid and confused, as if she didn't know whether she should move forward.
The figures around the girl seemed not to notice her, disappearing and reappearing like a slideshow.
Since she gained consciousness nine years ago, she has understood nothing except knowing that she 'should' be named 'Fengzhan Binghua'.
What is oneself and where is this.
Why are you standing here?
Memory is like a broken puzzle. Only the occasional fragments can help her remember something.
She also has no one to ask, because she will not get any results beyond the known conclusions.
If you want to buy things, there will be a convenience store. If you want transportation, there will be a bus.
The only thing she can understand is that every action she takes will affect the world and change the lives of others.
Gradually, Feng Zhan Binghua began to have an emotion called 'fear' towards this change.
She wants to leave this dark world.
Even though no one could notice her, she kept trying.
until today.
Until now.
It was as if God finally responded to her efforts and sent a messenger who could fulfill her wish.
It was a golden light spot that was incompatible with this gray city.
It's small, but it lights up Feng Zhan Binghua's unchanging world.
…
***************
In the building without doors or windows, Chairman Aleister is still in his life support device.
Although all intellectual activities and physical functions are maintained by high technology, this does not mean that he lacks control over the city.
The fact is that just like now, in the middle of nowhere, there is a data frame that even scientific professionals have no clue about and even makes their heads spin.
This is the biological data he generated by using a special machine to detect a certain 'energy mass'.
His eyeballs move left and right along with the image, and if you don't pay attention, you won't even be able to notice that his brows moved slightly.
'...'Her' consciousness should not be complete yet.'
Regarding his "plan", Aleister knew exactly what stage it was currently at.
In this case, the changes in front of him are worthy of scrutiny.
The "Imaginary Mathematics Zone·Five Elements Mechanism" is not something that can be easily controlled by humans, and it does not have consciousness or thinking in itself. Therefore, in order to facilitate control, Aleister deliberately guided the machine named "Wind Slashing Ice Flower"
'The' key'.
But according to calculations, it will take at least about a year for this 'key' to reach this degree of completion.
There had never been such a sudden change before, but now it was as if the water slowly poured into the bottle reached fullness in one breath.
This has undoubtedly deviated from his plan.
A new window appeared next to Aleister.
That was the only experimental scene scene related to this change after screening.
"Absolutely capable person evolution plan".
Also, Accelerator.
These researchers don't know that their managing director doesn't care about the results of this major experiment that goes directly to the purpose of Academy City's "SYSTEM" research.
All Aleister needs is this process.
What he needs to determine now is what impact this experiment had on the "Imaginary Mathematics Area·Five Elements Mechanism" and where the overflowing 'water' went.
Based on this premise, countless causes and effects begin to appear in this "human" thinking space like connections.

【Aug.31 PM6:16】
Accelerator felt that he had been fooled.
Although the clone girl in front of him was eager to attack him, what was this?
It's not even a warm-up exercise.
‘Lv5’ who uses pistols as the main means of attack instead of abilities? What a joke!
Even though he made such an arrangement despite knowing his abilities, Accelerator had no doubt that the foreheads of those researchers were damaged.
If you have time to waste here, you might as well look for the new canned coffee in the vending machine.
I've lost all my energy, you bastard.
Complaining in a low voice, Accelerator did not look at the experimental subject that was knocked away by him, and returned to his previous appearance and walked toward the door.
But what came to my ears next was not the sound of the door opening again, but an unpleasant urging.
"The first experiment is not over yet."
Accelerator stopped subconsciously.
Then, the man continued.
"You have to deal with the experimental subjects behind you."
"..."
'......ah?'
This is an inhumane, multiple-choice question stained with blood.
Black and white, good and evil.
A world where only one party can choose and one party can pass is placed in front of the first.
