Chapter 564 Catching Mikoto's Attention

"This… Sir, thank you so much for helping us catch this criminal!"

After directly subduing the criminal, Mii, along with Kuroko and Kazari, came to express their gratitude.

"No need to thank me, it's just a matter of effort, and I came in because I was curious. Dealing with this guy isn't that difficult!"

Asahi waved his hand, genuinely not concerned about it.

"For you, it might be a small favor, but for us, it's quite significant. If it weren't for you, we'd have had to wait for backup indefinitely. In any case, thank you very much. If possible, could you please leave your contact information? We'd like to express our gratitude later."

Mii said, but in fact, she doesn't need to ask Asahi for his contact information. After all, Asahi's current information has been recorded in the library, and as Judgement's members, they could easily find it if they look it up.

However, Mii still asked for it directly, and Asahi had no reason to refuse.

After leaving the contact information, Asahi left and continued his walk. He now had three new phone numbers in his contacts, which are Mii, Kuroko, and Kazari.

Seeing this, Asahi couldn't help but sighed, 'No wonder those little fresh meats are popular in my previous live.'

He realized that appearances mattered a lot. In fact, if he looked like an unkempt middle-aged man, even if he had helped them, these girls would probably just offer polite thanks and no one would be interested in exchanging contact information with him.

"Boss, I saw everything just now, you are really strong! Aren't you psychic Esper? How were you able to catch those steel balls with your hands?"

After Asahi left, Mikoto, who had not had time to take action, immediately caught up.

She and Asahi are already friends, and more importantly, Mikoto had developed an interest on him.

She was also a battle enthusiast, not to the point of being a maniac, but she enjoyed fighting strong opponents.

Of course, in Asahi's eyes, their battles were more like children playing make-believe, which included those from the Dark Side and even someone like Accelerator.

However, many of these Espers, even the super-powered ones, were mostly melee combat novices, with only a small number being somewhat proficient.

"It's you, Misaka, When did I say I was a psychic Esper?"

Asahi asked with a hint of exasperation. Had he ever said that? He hadn't even mentioned that he was an Esper.

"If you are not a psychic Esper, why do those who want to enter the manga shop leave directly!"

Mikoto looked at Asahi with a skeptical expression, clearly sensing something amiss.

"That's not a psychic ability, just a little trick. You were in the post office just now, weren't you? If I hadn't intervened, you would have helped, right?" Looking at Mikoto, Asahi responded.

"Of course, but boss, you seem pretty strong. How about we have a little sparring match?"

Mikoto said directly. She is straightforward about her preferences, and she enjoyed fighting stronger opponents. Of course, it is limited to the use of her abilities, without this point, she wouldn't have much left.

"A sparring match, huh? Alright, let's find a suitable place. But let's make it clear now, no crying if you lose!"

Asahi teased with a smile, which instantly riled up Mikoto.

"What do mean crying? Do you think of me as a kid?"

Mikoto complained, clearly not pleased.

"Is there a difference? You're still going to school, right? What else would you call it if not being a kid?"

Asahi replied with a hint of amusement. Kids of this age tend to believe they're already mature, but in reality, they have a long way to go, and even if they are mentally more mature, they are still childish in many ways.

And Mikoto's most prominent trait is her tsundere nature, always wanting to save face even if it causes her trouble.

"Who are you calling a kid? You're not much older than me!" Mikoto retorted angrily.

"Is that so? Maybe my age is much greater than my current appearance."

Asahi said with a chuckle. His actual age is actually over five thousand years, far beyond what Mikoto or her friends can imagine.

It's just that Asahi's strength in the Naruto World has improved very quickly, which has led to the fact that he looked quite young and didn't appear much older than her.

The two continued to chat casually and finally arrived in a deserted area. While Academy City was indeed vast and densely populated, it also had its fair share of abandoned and desolate places. These areas were often used for experiments and were gathering spots for delinquents.

"Let's get started. Don't say I'm not giving you a chance to strike. If you can land a hit on me, I'll give you a gift."

Asahi said with a smile, but Mikoto was far from pleased. She felt insulted by his 'land a hit' comment. Out of anger, she launched her electric arc attack at Asahi. As for Asahi, he remained stationary.

However, after the arc hit Asahi, it passed right through his body as if he were intangible. He had phased himself, which is similar to Obito's tricks, except that Obito needs Mangekyo and has multiple weaknesses, while Asahi's intangibility had no apparent vulnerabilities.

The arc then struck the ground behind Asahi, leaving a few burnt marks in its wake.

"carry on!"

Seeing Mikoto is already baffled, Asahi waved his hand a few times, which made Mikoto even more angry.

Then, electric arcs of various sizes kept striking him, but when they reached Asahi, it was as though they were hitting thin air, causing no effect at all.

"How is this possible?"

With an expression of disbelief, Mikoto decided to go all out. She pulled out a gaming coin and flicked it, unleashing her Railgun, a powerful electromagnetic attack.

An orange shockwave blasted towards Asahi, but as expected, it also pierced through his body without doing anything.

"This… what the hell is going on? What kind of Esper are you? Are you one of those legendary multi-talented Espers?"

This time, Mikoto is certain that she couldn't hit Asahi, even her Railgun's power wasn't enough.

Right now, she was only left with her last resort, the thunderbolt strikes, but its immense power was a significant concern. Also, using it would drain all her electric power, so she couldn't afford to use it lightly.

"Are you finished? Then, it's my turn. Little girl, watch closely. Sometimes, battles aren't as simple as you might think!"

After saying that, Asahi directly assumed an attacking stance.
