In the infirmary, Marikawa Shizuka watched the commotion from within the school, slowly rising from her desk. She went to the window and saw a horrifying scene.
Students who were freely active during physical education were walking with twisted bodies and strange gaits.
Some students who came out of the teaching building for free activity ran at an extremely fast speed, directly tackling and devouring other students.
"What... what exactly is going on?"
"Busujima-san."
Marikawa Shizuka turned her gaze to Busujima Saeko, who stood beside her with a grave expression. This chaos was spreading at a visible rate.
She couldn't figure out the reason at all.
And the purple-haired girl, holding a wooden sword and concentrating with all her might, stared intently out the window, aware of what was happening in the Dimensional Chat Group.
Including the activation of the group rescue mission.
Busujima Saeko knew everything, though she wasn't sure how strong Railgun and Ordinary High School Student in the Dimensional Chat Group were.
She didn't entirely place her hope in them.
Students were constantly running frantically in the corridor, trying to find a place to hide. In this situation, any superfluous saintly thoughts would ultimately lead to one's own death!
Busujima Saeko's tone was exceptionally grave: "A crisis has erupted... Let's stay here for now; others will be coming to meet us soon."
"But it's so chaotic outside..."
Marikawa Shizuka, a bit of a ditz, realized the seriousness of the situation. She stood on tiptoe, looking for some liniment.
She put it in her handbag, to be used as medical supplies.
As for what to do next, she didn't have many ideas yet. She would just follow Busujima Saeko's arrangements; she seemed very reliable!

Unconcealed footsteps in the corridor instantly attracted the attention of the surrounding zombies. Seeing these twisted students rushing over,
Misaka Mikoto flipped a coin in her palm.
She pointed at the attacking zombies, a flash of light leaping from her fingertip. Aiming directly at the target at the end of the corridor, she used the principle of electromagnetic induction.
She fired the arcade coin at an initial speed of three times the speed of sound.
The immense energy of the Railgun shattered the tiles on the corridor floor, instantly pulverizing the zombies.
"Standing at the pinnacle of Academy City's 2.4 million people, the third of the seven espers..."
Watching the zombies instantly killed, Shiraishi Kawa couldn't help but sigh. He decisively summoned the Holy Sword, Shinra Bansho.
He had to at least put on a show.
As for the newly acquired Archmage profession, the basic skills probably wouldn't have much effect. As for the area-clearing Explosion Magic,
He had no intention of using it here for now.
"Very impressive."
"I just wonder how powerful Explosion Magic would be if cast at full power."
"..."
Meanwhile, in the Dimensional Chat Group, the live broadcast of the "Apocalypse" world was focused on Misaka Mikoto and Shiraishi Kawa.
Following the Railgun's attack,
The group members, who had witnessed Misaka Mikoto's strength firsthand, couldn't help but type away.
Master of the Butterfly Mansion: Hmm? Railgun's strength is actually so powerful! Is this the transcendent power in Academy City, an Lv5 level...
Future Holy Sword User: No wonder she was interested in the magic device that day; it turns out her ability is somewhat similar.
Sakurajima Mai: We're both high school students, so why is mine an everyday world?
Asuna: Railgun is really strong. I just wonder how strong the Ordinary High School Student is. Someone who can take on a mission should be about the same?
Master of the Butterfly Mansion: I watched the last Chat Group live broadcast. In terms of strength, Railgun should still be stronger. As for the Ordinary High School Student...
Master of the Butterfly Mansion: He's more inclined to sword-based combat, I suppose.
Aqua: Why are the guys I've reincarnated with in other worlds so unreliable? If I had @Railgun's ability, defeating the Demon King would be very easy, wouldn't it?
The Chat Group's messages scrolled continuously. If Misaka Mikoto saw Aqua's words, her personality would definitely make her explode.
Reincarnating into another world.
It's good news for those who died unexpectedly, but for those still alive, it's somewhat offensive.
He didn't pay attention to the Dimensional Chat Group.
Shiraishi Kawa followed Misaka Mikoto's footsteps, advancing up the stairs to the upper floors of the teaching building. The constant footsteps during this time
Attracted a large number of zombies. Glancing at Misaka Mikoto, who was once again pulling out an arcade coin beside him, he wondered if killing zombies would grant experience.
He was very concerned about this.
He maximized the enhancement effect of Mana Release.
It consumed 3% of his magic power per minute.
With the core skill of his new profession, he could keep it almost constantly active, feeling the cells in his body rejoice, and his overall attributes increased by a massive three times.
He had long since surpassed the realm of humans.
A continuous surge of vast magic power poured into the Holy Sword, Shinra Bansho. The originally dark red blade shimmered with light, becoming even more enchanting.
Rather than a Holy Sword... calling it a Demonic Sword would be more fitting.
Shiraishi Kawa said casually, "Leave these zombies to me."
"..."
Attracted by this immense energy, Misaka Mikoto looked sideways at Shiraishi Kawa beside her, retrieving the coin she had been tossing into her palm.
She was equally curious.
How strong could the transcendent profession of Holy Sword User from another world truly be?
However.
Even Misaka Mikoto hadn't expected that as soon as this thought crossed her mind, Shiraishi Kawa's figure would vanish directly, completely exceeding her reaction speed.
In a flash.
She only felt the surrounding air being completely squeezed out. The stairwell glass, unable to withstand the pressure, shattered. The air rushing in
Was like a gale, blowing up Misaka Mikoto's pleated mini-skirt.
Accompanied by the sound of the building being destroyed, a dark red slash, comparable to the speed of the Railgun, directly pulverized the zombies.
The classroom walls on both sides of the corridor were utterly destroyed.
The wall at the end was directly punched through, revealing the hazy city environment outside.
Misaka Mikoto was silent.
Her incredibly shocked state at this moment left her unable to describe it: the unreactable speed, the super-strong offensive destructive power.
Was this really... a strength a human could possess?
Last time during the live broadcast, the strength he displayed was only comparable to an Lv4 esper in Academy City. How many days had passed since then?
Silent.
It wasn't just Misaka Mikoto. The members of the Dimensional Chat Group, following Shiraishi Kawa's live broadcast perspective, after a brief silence, completely erupted!
