"Misaka 9981, as per the experiment's instructions, please return to the research facility. Please respond."

George had barely flown a short distance when the voices of the Misaka clones echoed in his mind.

"It's the Misaka Network!"

George didn't respond. Instead, he used his telepathic abilities and mental sealing techniques to temporarily isolate himself from the Misaka Network.

Misaka Mikoto's abilities were linked to magnetic fields, which allowed the Misaka clones to connect their brains through the same brainwaves, creating a special Misaka Network. In this network, all the Misaka clones could share information and enhance their collective processing power.

However, George suspected this network was one of the laboratory's methods to control the Misaka clones, so he severed the brainwave connection to prevent himself from being influenced by the Misaka Network.

According to the data on the Misaka clones, the superpowers in this world were actually quite different from those in the Marvel Universe.

In this world, superpowers were artificially developed, often through drugs, hypnosis, or mechanical modifications. By manipulating an individual's inner reality in their mind, these methods affected the microscopic world, amplified by chaos theory, which then formed superpowers.

Thus, the strength of a superpower was tied to the individual's brain's computational ability—the stronger the brain's capacity for calculation, the more powerful the superpower.

In contrast, superpowers in the Marvel Universe didn't require any mental computation and were instinctively used. Mutants' powers came from the X-Gene, a result of the Celestial race's experiments on humanity.

There were also the Inhumans, whose powers were the result of experiments conducted by the Kree on Earth's humans.

This was somewhat similar to the concept of "raw stones" in this world.

Raw stones were a special type of superpowered individual who didn't require mental calculation, nor were their powers artificially developed—they were born with superpowers.

It was said that the current methods of artificially developing superpowers were inspired by the raw stones.

Before Academy City was established, the existence of superpowers was unknown to most strong humans in this world because raw stones were so rare. There might not have been even a hundred of them globally, and they were scattered across the world. Ordinary people had never seen them, so they thought superpowers were merely fictional.

George was now able to leap from Level 2 to Level 4 by combining the Misaka clones' abilities with his own. This was because his magnetic control had always been instinctual, and now with the brainwave calculation method added, his superpower had been significantly developed through a more scientific approach.

He believed that through continued study, he could break through to Level 5 and even further enhance his abilities.

The reason he felt this way was simple: he didn't just have one brain. His main body and other clones provided him with multiple brains, which theoretically allowed for a substantial increase in computational capacity.

"Found her!"

Outside the women's dormitory at Normal Campus, George, in his invisibility state, peered through a window and saw the real Misaka Mikoto, dressed in cartoon-themed pajamas.

However, what he witnessed inside the dormitory left him speechless.

"Sister, I swear I won't do it again, I promise!"

Inside the dormitory, a girl with twin tails, wearing a lace underwear set, was desperately waving a pair of pink panties with a frog pattern, pleading for mercy. At the same time, she was using her spatial abilities to rapidly teleport around the room, trying to avoid Misaka Mikoto's electric shocks.

Misaka Mikoto, furious, shouted:

"Shirai, today I'm going to teach you a lesson for your perverted behavior!"

A few moments later, Shirai Kuroko, the twin-tailed girl, was left trembling on the floor after being electrocuted.

At this point, Misaka Mikoto, now calm, suddenly turned her head and looked in the direction where George was hidden.

"What is this feeling? It's almost like my brainwaves…"

"Did she sense me?"

Seeing Misaka Mikoto looking in his direction, George immediately intensified his mental shielding, further blocking his brainwaves from leaking.

Since his current clone was a Misaka Mikoto clone, it naturally shared the same brainwave pattern as the real Misaka Mikoto. If anyone else were to attempt it, they would find it impossible to sense anything, but Misaka Mikoto, being a Level 5 electrokinesis user, was exceptionally sensitive to brainwaves.

"Maybe it's just my imagination."

Misaka Mikoto muttered to herself, gazing at the empty sky. She then skillfully grabbed a rope from under her bed, used it to bind her roommate Kuroko, and tossed her onto the neighboring bed before snuggling under her covers and falling asleep peacefully.

Lately, her nerves had been on edge due to the Misaka cloning project, but after her investigation, she discovered that the project had long been terminated.

"Maybe, as a mutated Misaka clone, I'll try to integrate into this world for now."

George flew to the top of the girls' dormitory, his thoughts running through his mind.

He couldn't shake the feeling that Academy City was far more complicated than it appeared. Creating such a vast area for superpowers, maintaining autonomy, and having so many superpowered individuals adhering to order and leading regulated lives—this was no small feat. The creators and high-ranking officials of Academy City must be extraordinary people.

For that reason, he decided it was better not to be too reckless.

"Dig three feet deep!"

On the rooftop wall, George used the Digging Spell to carve out a hole the size of a fist. Then, he cast the Seamless Expansion Charm to enlarge the space inside, turning it into a room-sized area.

"Magical Muggle Shield."

After finishing the Shielding Charm, he flew into the hole.

This would serve as his temporary base for now.

In the world of wizard apprentices, a wizard could achieve immortality once they reached level 500 in their magical proficiency.

While George hadn't reached level 500 yet, thanks to the continuous effort of his panda clone, he had already reached level 400.

Although he hadn't reached immortality, he had attained a level where survival no longer depended on food or drink.

As a result, his Misaka clone also wouldn't have to worry about eating or drinking.

Upon entering the space he had created, George didn't immediately rest. Instead, he began familiarizing himself with his superpowers, especially his ability to control electricity.

Meanwhile, at the headquarters of the Absolute Ability Evolution Plan's research team...

"Misaka 9981 has severed the connection to the Misaka Network, and we can't find her in any of the campus surveillance. It's as if she vanished into thin air."

One of the subordinates asked the director, "Should we temporarily halt the plan and resume once we locate 9981?"

"9981 might just be an anomaly. We can't let this one incident halt the Absolute Ability Evolution Plan. Tomorrow, 9982 will proceed with the first outdoor combat simulation. At the same time, don't stop the search for 9981!"

After thinking for a moment, the director gave his final command.

The Absolute Ability Evolution Plan came from the higher-ups, and even he, as the director, had no authority to pause it.

As for the mutant 9981, he would report the relevant information to the higher-ups, and they would decide what to do next.

"She was clearly dead, so why would she revive and even evolve her abilities? This doesn't make sense. Could it be the wizards from the magical side are involved?"
