Academy City. A city that has a general population of two million three thousand with fully eighty percent of them being students. A city of science, it's what would be called a giant experimental city. Which brings together the forefront of scienti...
While Akuma screamed and continued to fire pointlessly at the Security robots, Tedashii who already placed Akahana arm around his shoulder to have a grip and walk him and her out of the Underground Shopping district, Tedashii smiled as he could see the light a little further ahead.
"Where almost there, just hang in there for a little more."
"... I'm ... sorry." Akahana said in a weak pitch voice.
"Huh?" Tedashii's eyes met with the weak Akahana.
"... For ... making you believe something that is not true, typically in order to gain some personal advantage.."
"What!?"
"... I know you ... don't feel safe around Espers..."
"Oh that." Tedashii felt relief as if he was expecting something else. "Oh, don't scare me like that I thought you were gonna say something like you sent him towards me. You not having an ability wouldn't have changed anything that happened today."
"But ... you said to that girl ... earlier... that you feel an unpleasant emotion caused by the belief that someone or something is dangerous, likely to cause pain, or a threat, from Espers."
"Oh, you heard about that. Haha," Tedashii giggled a little at the girl and smiled as he looked towards the light of dusk. "I can't believe you were worried about me being scared of a technical Esper ability not to mention you're a level 1."
"... But."
"Wow are you really a droid?"
Akahana paused and then canceled her next comment, then nodded.
"Never mind." Tedashii said, scratching his head. And giggle once more.
"... Your spontaneous sounds and movements of the face and body that are the instinctive expressions of lively amusement are different than before... The sounds you display while endangered are...frightening..."
"Oh, that." Tedashii paused and thought about what to say next. He sighs then looks towards the light, "You know I'm pathetic. And I guess there is no point in hiding it now that it's exposed from that encounter. That reaction was someone else. That side of me was the aftermath of the Dark May Project."
"...The Dark May Project ... an illegal experiment that used subjects who were most likely Child Errors, in an effort to replicate Accelerator's powers by using a similar pattern of ability operation... This was done by referencing the cognitive patterns of Accelerator himself in order to optimize the personal realities of certain espers taking part in the experiment..."
"I see, so you really do have what's left of the tree diagram. That's why you were in that pod huh?"
"... I wish I could tell you... but my access code must be indefinite first..."
"That's okay it's oblivious why you were there now. Do you really wanna go back to that pod?"
"... Yes... I have nowhere else to go... and I don't want you to get into any more trouble ...
"There has to be somewhere Akahana you have to choose somewhere else."
"... It would take time for me to process another lab."
Tedashii clenched his fist and wondered why it had to be a lab.
"Let's leave Academy City together." Tedashii said, sweating with no other idea. "Don't worry I hate Academy City I don't mind! I will shut the power off while Akuma is busy dealing with all the roadblocks and light shut downs. I'll then do a signal block so we can head back to my place and pack... no that might be too late, there might be backup waiting at my dorm. We'll just run, catch a bus or something then we'll get more clothes.
Akahana stumbled over as Tedashii barely caught her. She closed her eyes and began to breath heavily. Tedashii panic sweating and spasming.
"What's wrong! What's wrong with you!" Tedashii cried out.
"... The danger level of this occurring situation levels 100%... ... ... Our survival rate 39% but depositing me will increase your chance of survival to 88%." She confirms taking in as much breath as possible.
"Look I'll figure something out don't underestimate me I'll save you! I might be a level 0 but I think I can handle this! I promise I won't let them get you! No I promise I won't let them make me let go of y..." before Tedashii finished his sentence a sudden popping noise rang and Akahana vanished from his sight. Tedashii froze in shock in disbelief of his failure.
The cause of this ironic moment, a Kirigaoka Academy student with long dark red hair tied into two low ponytails. wearing the Kirigaoka Girls' Academy uniform's dark blue coat over her shoulders like a cape, with bandages covering her breasts and a pleated skirt. She smiles maliciously at the foolish Tedashii.

Tedashii finally made his way to the front gates with only one task to climb the stairs out only for some teenage girl sitting on a briefcase with a military flashlight in her hand to mess everything up. Tedashii couldn't believe this, was this some joke? He thought to come face to face with his worst nightmare and barely escaped with Akahana only for some trick with a flashlight waving it around like some fairy to cast Akahana away from his hands. All his hard work and struggles are foiled by an Esper yet again.
Tedashii dropped to his knees as Akuma appeared and walked past Tedashii.
"Well, well, I thought you were gonna have some Esper battle with that goodie good Judgement."
"She was weaker than I thought but I shouldn't expect much from an Esper with a downgrade version to my ability. Anyways is that really the infamous Code Vader? He looks weak."
Akuma looks back at the broken spirit Tedashii annoyed then back at the Esper. "Naw I was wrong, Meltdown really did kill-em. This pervert clown came across the item, once it began to wander around Academy City."
"Haha, how pathetic, the little punk promised to hold his hands to her and blip just like that he failed miserably. Don't feel too bad, you must be a level 0 with that display, and I do find it indeed unfair. Spare him Akuma, we already won, there's no need to do harm to him anymore."
"Is that so, Whatever I wasn't planning to kill him anyways." Akuma picks up the unconscious Akahana heading towards the dark alley side away from district 7."
"Tch!" Tedashii burst into rage as he assumed she was mocking him, just because she was blessed with Esper powers. He quickly got up and ignored all the pain, clenched and swang at the girl. She only smiled and waved her flashlight at him.
She focuses all her attention towards the flashlight aiming at the furious Tedashii and effortlessly teleports him right above the stairs making him tumble down the stairs in instant defeat.
"Bye, bye." She said getting from the suitcase and began to stroll away.
"Who are you..." Tedashii said before passing out.
The girl looked back and smiled and said "it's Musujime Awaki, you nobody." She strolls the briefcase leaving aside Kihara Akuma.
