“I’ve always cared.” Kihara Kagun spoke calmly from beginning to end: "I did kill the random killer to protect my students. And it was not considered a crime during the trial. But what happened to that random killer? I also think it is impossible, but could he be a bad guy who happened to appear in front of me just to make me perform well?" "..." "That person is the chess piece you prepared." What Kihara Kagun was doing was not questioning, but answering. "After all, you are a genius at making people give up. It's not difficult to burn out people's rationality at the right time. So of course you can turn that person into a random killer who chases ordinary children relentlessly. More importantly, if your action criteria include giving up..." "because……" Kihara slowly stood up from his prone position, brushing off the snow on his body and saying: "Whether it's the helpful 'Kihara' or the 'Kihara' respected by the children... For those of us who have already given up, it would be very troublesome if there is such a possibility, right? As the representative of 'Kihara', of course I have to make you give up completely."

"That's a boring answer, but it's great to hear it from you. This trigger works better than I thought." "Kihara" and "Kihara" answered each other's questions. Standard answer. Of course, there could be no hope in the answers they derived. "As it turns out, the child who was portrayed as a random killer was actually one of the victims." Kihara Kagun's expressionless face twisted slightly. There was a look of "real" anger on his face. "...I didn't think twice before treating him as a villain and ruining his life. That child, who was also a victim, was left with an indelible stain, and even the posthumous records regarded him as a random killer. So this is the least I can do for him. Only when both you and I, the perpetrators, fall can it be considered revenge." It doesn't mean that everything will be over if the truth is revealed. It doesn't mean that you can just put all the blame on the mastermind and run away. He wanted to put an end to what he had done. The "teacher" that Kihara Pathology wanted to deny in the past is now standing in front of her. "Oh, this is a headache. Jiaqun, you are so annoying. I don't think you feel frustrated yet." The sound of crackling echoed from inside the body of the smiling Kihara. She was clearly preparing to attack. "You wanted to protect more than just that random killer who's dead, right? You wanted to protect possibilities like Nayuta in the 'Kihara', Academy City students like Kumokawa Maria, or outsiders like Saffri Opendaze and Omi. It seems like you were that kind of 'teacher' before." negligence. failure. The expert who made people decide to give up now smiles because he has completed a perfect job again. "In that case, you should feel frustrated. Because asking others to give up is the only thing I don't want to do after giving up everything!"

The head-on confrontation between Kihara and Kihara begins. The first to attack was Kihara's iron nail. The sniper bullets that were violently ejected from his right arm, which was constructed of a flying stick, pierced Kihara Kagun's forehead and heart. That's how it should be. However, he was not injured, nor was he bleeding. Although Kihara Kagun leaned back, he had no other obvious injuries. It was not because the wounds on his body had healed, but because he was not injured at all. He strode forward as if nothing had happened, extended his index and middle fingers, and waved his right arm as if cutting through the air. Boom! A heavy sound burst out. Kihara pathologically couldn't understand what was going on. However, her right arm was clearly cut off at the shoulder. And from Kihara Kagun's fingertips, a blue-white blade of light stretched out for several meters, looking like a giant razor blade held between his fingers. "Hahaha!" Kihara smiled pathologically. The severed arm didn't even bleed. The unnatural section continued to swell. A thick and hairy arm that was not in proportion to her appearance flew out from the wound of Kihara Pathology. Kihara Kagun was slightly alert. The unexpected situation caused him to delay his thinking. Kihara Pathology did not miss his confusion and swung a huge fist at Kihara Kagun from above. Even the container was smashed. She...is no longer a human being! ... “Is this the power of science?!” Touma, who was behind the screen, was simply astonished when he saw this scene. I didn't expect that these two scientists could fight to this extent. To be precise, the feeling of oppression that one feels when being there far exceeds the combat power of a certain fire magician who "proves that I am the strongest". Of course. This nonsensical thought only occupied one ten-thousandth of Kamijou Touma's thoughts. Not so much a joke. It should be said that it is to buffer the anger in my heart. Because of this woman called Kihara Pathology. An innocent person was killed simply for this reason. What made Touma feel even more chilled and angry was... This is probably just the tip of the iceberg of the power of the Kihara family. Out of sight of all ordinary citizens. Inside this academy city known as the world's top scientific research city.

I don’t know how many cruel things like this happen every day!! "Aleister Crowley... As an ordinary person, I may not need to speculate on what he wants to do... Why he created Binghua and his motives are irrelevant, because Binghua will be the best friend of Index and me in the future. But... As a leader in the science field and the chairman of the board of directors of this Academy City, he actually allowed such a bastard to do such an outrageous thing. He is simply... a lunatic!" It is actually very difficult to hear unpleasant words from the gentle and serious Kamijou Touma. however-- At this moment, Kamijou Touma was sincerely criticizing the most evil magician who had just appeared on the screen and was feared like a monster by many forces in the magic world. Because of his negligence or indulgence, there are definitely many innocent people in this city who have been harmed by people like Kihara Pathologist! Even the things that happened to Misaka sisters are bloody lessons from the past! For some reason. This might be the first time that Touma, who always hoped to solve all problems as quickly as possible, felt that the man who betrayed science was more right when he saw the collision between the betrayer and science. As the video goes deeper. The man's identity at this moment also emerged—— In this video... ........................ Bang! With a loud noise, the container where Kihara Kagun was standing also broke into pieces and dented. Indeed dead. She actually felt the sensation of flesh, bones, and internal organs being crushed and creaking until they were shattered. That's how it should be. "That's all you have?" The sound that slips into your ears. Then all the sound disappeared. Several blue and white beams danced wildly, and the sunken and damaged vegetable factory was cut into several pieces. He took off the disgusting restraints. From among them, Kihara Kagun, who was standing on the next layer of the container and looking up at Kihara's pathology, appeared, and he was saying this with his eyes. Unscathed. Not even a drop of blood could be seen. “What… is going on…?” "Are you too obsessed with having the second-ranked brand installed in your body...? Regardless of the material, if your final comprehensive evaluation is only this level, then I can easily achieve my goal." "Then what did you use...? I can't see your 'Kihara'. Besides, you originally studied near-death experiences, so your specialty should be hallucinations during sleep. You should have no chance of using this kind of technique that relies on strength to win!" Kihara Kagun did not answer. Kihara Pathology transformed his right hand into a flying stick and fired more than three thick iron nails at him, but Kihara Kagun was still unharmed. He did not block the iron nails with the unknown blade, nor did he dodge the attack by moving at high speed.

The nail hit him directly. Head, heart and stomach. All of them were fatal. Yet he was unscathed. No, Kihara Kagun was just fine-tuning the position of his body, or rather, deliberately letting the nail hit his vital points. Then-- While Kihara Pathology was in chaos, Kihara Kagun took decisive action. Instead of climbing up, he swung his blue-white light blade to cut off all nearby vegetable factories, causing the mountain of vegetable factories to collapse, and forcibly pulled Kihara Pathology from above to the level where he was. Kihara Pathologist, who slid down along with the metal wreckage, was on the alert for Kihara Kagun who was approaching. She wanted to use her right arm, which had adopted the structure of a snowman, to sweep Kihara Kagun away, but for Kihara Kagun, who was completely unharmed, it was no obstacle at all. He did not take any evasive action, but took a big step forward and casually swung the blue-white light blade that extended from the index and middle fingers of his right hand. (I can’t… understand…! What kind of science is hidden in this guy… Kihara Kagun’s power…!) Thinking interrupted. A diagonal crack appeared on Kihara's pathological face. Staggered up and down. The skull and brain all slid off beautifully like a bamboo tube. Brain damage. And death. The next second after the decisive moment, new actions appear. "Shape changes, refer to the Gray Man The incomplete lips remaining on the torso spoke fluently. The tips of the five fingers on Kihara's left hand swelled up like balloons with a bang. They were about the same size as an orange. If we were to compare them to something else, they would be about the size of a child's skull. Producing brain functions. If she had that kind of function, people living in Academy City would probably consider the possibility of taking it a step further. Hiss! Immediately afterwards, the incredible "ability" was activated, and Kihara Kagun was caught in an explosion of incredible power. The right arm turned into a giant's hand, and the "monster" with five brains on the left arm smiled slowly. She spoke to the gray dust spreading in the blizzard: A broken heart alone will not stop the pain. Just chopping off the head won't stop. As long as it can be manufactured, it can be replaced. Once it can be replaced, it can be lost. Kihara's pathology overrides the form that allows humans to survive as humans.

"...This is Kihara. He is a person who uses science, the foundation of all humankind, to use it in ways that are beyond imagination. Do you understand the essence of this?" "That's true. I can certainly understand that." The sudden male voice froze Kihara's pathological smile. Then she discovered it. The gray dust was blown away. Kihara Kagun, who should have been blown to pieces by the explosion, was standing with all four limbs intact. His coat and shirt were blown off, and he was naked from the waist up in the minus 20 degree cold wind. But as if he had always been like this, there was still no blood on his upper body. "…When did you…repair it?" "I'm not damaged to begin with. I can't be damaged. My body has been engineered to be that way."
