"Misaka Chinatsu is practically being hounded. As expected, within the realm of Ability Users, Accelerator's power is still overwhelming."
A Researcher standing in the Research Institute silently observing the battle between the two Espers calmly voiced his opinion, but he was quickly refuted by the lead elderly Researcher.
"You, oh you, are still too young. Without the instruments, you only see the surface. It looks like Misaka Chinatsu is being forced back step by step by Accelerator's offensive, but in reality, she is far more at ease than we imagined."
What he said was true. Although Accelerator was constantly attacking, his long-range attacks were ineffective, and his choice to engage in close combat did not pose much of a threat to Chinatsu.
At this time, Accelerator relied too heavily on his ability, and his proficiency in martial arts was a complete mess. In contrast, Chinatsu, whose academic performance at Tokiwadai was in the lower-middle tier, had studied various styles of martial arts since childhood.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Accelerator swung his fists wildly, continuously rushing forward. He seemed to have forced Chinatsu into a corner of the quadrilateral testing area and launched another head-on strike, only for Chinatsu to escape the corner with a very smooth crouch and roll.
"Slippery as a catfish."
Accelerator turned to face Chinatsu again, panting slightly as he spoke.
Although he had been the one unilaterally attacking so far, even so, this was an unprecedented experience for him.
Unlike the original world where he was driven to shame and rage by Kamijou Touma's Personality-correcting punch, at this moment, Accelerator felt a different kind of reality.
His closed heart showed signs of loosening at this moment, and at the same time, Accelerator's ability output actually showed a trend of continuing to rise.
"Then try this!"
Accelerator suddenly raised a hand toward Chinatsu. In the windless Combat Testing Area, several fierce air currents from different directions instantly converged.
These air currents intertwined and twisted, eventually converging in front of Accelerator's outstretched palm.
The walls of the quadrilateral Combat Testing Area were sliced into a mess by these blade-like air currents, and faint crackling electrical arcs flickered in the air.
Many Researchers standing in the Research Institute couldn't help but take a few steps back, expressions of shock appearing on their faces.
Chinatsu calmly watched the terrifying offensive about to strike her. She took a deep breath and, concentrating fully, raised her arms forward.
Silently, she increased the power of her Gravity Shield again. The gravity centered on her instantly became incredibly heavy; the ground sank layer by layer, and space itself seemed to warp.
Accelerator: All-out attack!
VS
Misaka Chinatsu: All-out defense!
The moment these two forces collided, accompanied by a deafening roar, the area they were in was instantly blown apart by the shockwaves.
Because one had a Reflection Shield and the other had a Gravity Shield, both remained unscathed and stood upright even at the center of the explosion.
