[ The next day, Mikoto slumped tiredly in her dorm, a map pressed beneath her hand. The map was marked with many locations, all of which were research institutes and laboratories she had destroyed the previous day.
"I have to hold on! That experiment could still be going on every second, and there are still so many…" Misaka Mikoto forced herself to cheer up, supporting her body.
Thinking of her other clones lining up to die one by one, the gruesome scenes of flesh and blood flying, "I can't fall before that plan does."
Facing Kuroko's concerned inquiry, Misaka Mikoto still managed a forced smile, "I'll have to trouble you to find a way to cover for me then!"
"Onee-sama…" Kuroko looked at Misaka Mikoto, closing the door and leaving, wanting to say something, but stopping.
She then slumped down dejectedly, "Onee-sama is busy with something very difficult. This matter is obvious, yet you don't intend to ask for my help!"
Misaka Mikoto, who didn't leave immediately after closing the door, leaned against the door for a moment. She wasn't unaware of Kuroko's thoughts.
However, Misaka Mikoto hesitated between seeking help and fighting alone, and finally decided to bear the burden herself, wanting to resolve it on her own.
Having made up her mind, Misaka Mikoto's previous hesitation vanished. With a resolute expression, she straightened her body and walked towards the dormitory door. ]

"It's a bit too much for one person. It would be good to seek help at a time like this, but she still places the responsibility on herself."
"The only thing left is the infiltration. Can she really deal with all the research institutes by herself?"
The people from other worlds looked at this somewhat tsundere Mikoto and sighed helplessly.
She had said she didn't want to save the Mikoto sisters, who didn't cherish their lives, but in the end, she was exhausted for their sake.
A middle school girl, fighting against the darkness of Academy City all by herself. This decisiveness truly made the people from other worlds look at her with admiration.
~Natsume's Book of Friends World~
"Hmph. That girl's got the same stubborn streak as you."
Nyanko-sensei mused between licks of his paw, tail flicking lazily.
"Eh? How?"
Natsume didn't think his personality was as passionate as Misaka Mikoto's.
"Isn't it? She carries all the burdens herself and doesn't want to trouble others… Of course, that's the only similarity. Everything else is completely different from you."
Nyanko-sensei's words left Natsume unable to refute. Perhaps in some aspects, she was indeed similar to Misaka Mikoto.
Giving up on refuting, Natsume looked back at the screen, a little worried,
"But… can she really handle this alone?"
The previous attacks might have alerted the enemy. He didn't think they would just watch her infiltrate.
.....
[ As night fell, Misaka Mikoto, wearing a baseball cap, destroyed three research institutes in one night. She then appeared on a tall building outside a certain research institute, carefully observing its facilities.
"Including this one, there are only two places left! I don't know how fast the experiments are progressing, but I can't be bothered to investigate anymore. I'm going to end everything tonight."
Misaka Mikoto leaped from the rooftop, heading straight for a side entrance of the research institute.
On the other side, Frenda, who had accepted the mission, was somewhat complaining as she fiddled with her pile of dolls while waiting for the target.
Hearing the commotion, she immediately got up, her face full of excitement, "They're here! In the end, it's because I've been accumulating good karma!" ]
[ .....]
~Projection of All Worlds~
"Wow… I can't believe Misaka Mikoto looks so cool in a change of clothes! Absolutely stunning. So her previous outfit was holding her back."
"Wow, what a cute little girl. If I punched her, she'd probably cry for a long time."
The people from other worlds suddenly felt speechless. The task of guarding the research institute was assigned to such a little girl.
What could she do?! She was quite cute, though.
.....
[ Mikoto successfully infiltrated the research institute. The computer she had brought with her immediately cracked the password for the entire building.
After obtaining the building's 3D map, Misaka Mikoto smoothly located the floor where her target was.
"The target is on the top floor…"
Misaka Mikoto then began to run quickly towards the corridor. However, after only a few steps, a flash of sparks appeared, and the ceiling above exploded, causing a large amount of rubble to fall. Misaka Mikoto, however, used her electromagnetic force to deflect it.
"As expected, it's not that simple!" Electricity flashed in Mikoto's right hand, and her expression turned grim as she looked around, trying to pinpoint the source of the attack!!
"None of them hit?! Did she deflect the falling objects with magnetic force? It seems she really has an electricity-based ability."
Frenda, hiding behind a pillar and secretly observing her target, calmly analyzed the situation and immediately began preparing her next attack.
Frenda drew a long, pale white line along the wall, smiling as she looked at her work, "This should do it. This is a tool originally used to burn through doors or walls."
She then took out an item the size of a battery and lightly touched the fire line she had drawn on the wall. The next moment, sparks erupted from the spot Frenda touched.
"Zzzzt—"
These sparks quickly shot along the pale white line on the wall, reaching Misaka Mikoto's feet in an instant. They continued to fly forward until they passed a stuffed animal, causing an explosion.
"Boom—"
A blinding flash of fire erupted, and the powerful heat wave forced her to retreat several steps. She looked ahead in surprise, "A bomb?!"
Misaka Mikoto looked at the stuffed animals around her and the fire lines coming from all directions.
She quickly used her electromagnetic force to manipulate two nearby steel plates, each the size of her body, to smash downwards, cutting off the path of the fire.
Misaka Mikoto then used the giant steel plates as shields, using magnetic force to move the shields along with her.
While running, Mikoto discovered stuffed animals hidden within two hollow tile boards. Misaka Mikoto quickly used her abilities to throw away the tile boards!
"Bang, bang, bang—"
The moment she threw them away, they exploded.
Misaka Mikoto used magnetic force to pull herself away, but because the exploding tile boards were too close to her, she was still hit by the blast wave and thrown against a metal casing.
Misaka Mikoto winced in pain but still gritted her teeth and stood up, leaning against the metal wall.
"Increase magnetic force to the limit for emergency evasion. It's especially damaging to the body, and I didn't want to use it…"
Misaka Mikoto, who had calmed down, leaned on her injured right hand and looked at the white lines on the ground, a plan forming in her mind,
"As long as I follow the fuse…"
With a plan in place, Mikoto acted less recklessly. Following the fuse on the ground, she quickly discovered Frenda above a staircase.
Misaka Mikoto gritted her teeth. Although it was a question, her tone was filled with certainty, "Is it that guy?!" ]

"You really rely on a tablet to get around, infiltrating everywhere, huh? Can't you at least respect the passwords that people painstakingly designed…"
"Gulp! I take back what I just said. You're not only cute, but you're also a master of art. As expected, all art involves explosions."
The crowd silently swallowed as they watched Frenda's intricate and sequential design. Just by hiding in the shadows, she had pushed Misaka Mikoto to this point. As expected, everyone in Academy City started as geniuses.
And what was that thing she used to draw white lines? Don't tell me it's correction fluid.
What kind of correction fluid can be used as a fuse for gunpowder… Is your technological advancement a bit skewed?
~Detective Conan World~
"Where did she get so many bombs?! Is her family in the arms dealing business?"
Conan's glasses were almost falling off. In a world of espers, are bombs and weapons so easy to obtain? Is no one managing them in that world?!
Also, are you sure this Frenda isn't like me, looking like a child on the outside but actually a genius high school student on the inside? Can a child really come up with such step-by-step calculations?!
"Isn't that magnetic force a bit too strong?!"
Hattori Heiji's jaw almost dropped watching Misaka Mikoto drag two large steel plates with her magnetic force.
Although electricity can generate magnetism, isn't your magnetic force a bit too exaggerated? You can just drag such thick steel plates away, and it doesn't even look like she's exerting much effort.
Is this really an electricity-based ability…
~A Certain Magical Index World~
"Tsk, do all the bomb-lovers like to hide them in dolls?!"
Misaka Mikoto's expression also became serious upon seeing the dolls.
As expected, the previous infiltration had alerted them. They were now on guard, and this time it probably wouldn't be so easy. She decided to go back and think of a new plan.
"Onee-sama…"
Kuroko, on the other side, looked worried. Although she was happy to see her Onee-sama in her cool, casual clothes, she was even sadder that her Onee-sama hadn't asked for her help.
Then, she remembered Misaka Mikoto's forced smile on the screen.
Shirai Kuroko made up her mind and ran out. Even if her Onee-sama hated her, she didn't want to see Misaka Mikoto looking so exhausted.
"Bang—"
As soon as she opened the door, she bumped into the already returned Misaka Mikoto, and they both tumbled to the ground, lying there with dizzy circles in their eyes.
~Type-Moon World, Fifth Holy Grail War Worldline~
"Are these two middle school students fighting?!"
Rin Tohsaka watched in disbelief. The other worlds were truly full of hidden talents. Now another one appeared, who plays with bombs, and you're telling me they're still in middle school?!
What was I doing in middle school? I was still watching the high jump, but she was already running around with bombs.
Meanwhile, Emiya Shirou suddenly seemed to notice something wrong,
"Isn't Frenda here to protect the research institute? If this continues, the research institute will be blown up by her before Misaka Mikoto even does anything."
As soon as he said that, everyone froze. Shirou's words seemed to make a lot of sense. They almost forgot that Frenda was here to protect the research institute.
Who exactly is the one causing destruction here? Without realizing it, the laboratory had already been demolished.
