Chapter 223: Even at death's door, the straightforward and determined Frenda would not yield.

【 When the stun bomb's effects were still active, and Frenda was on tiptoe, trying to sneak away, the voice from behind sent a shiver down her spine.
“Hold it right there. I advise you not to move.”
Misaka Mikoto, with her eyes closed, aimed the blue current flowing from her hand towards Frenda's direction. Although she couldn't see due to the stun bomb, it had little effect on her, a human radar.
After Misaka reopened her eyes and slowly regained her vision, Frenda began to act cute with tears in her eyes, gesticulating wildly with her hands and moving her mouth up and down as if trying to say something.
This sudden situation also bewildered Misaka Mikoto. She lowered her outstretched hand because she didn't understand at all.
“What is she saying?! It's not English, nor French. But didn't she speak Japanese just now?”
“There's no such language in the world!”
While Misaka Mikoto was momentarily stunned, Frenda pulled out another bomb from who knows where and threw it.
“Boom—”
The still stunned Misaka Mikoto instinctively shattered the bomb, and thick smoke began to fill the room.
“This is... Academy City's special gas explosive.”
Frenda took advantage of the smoke to quietly twist open the air pipe behind her, while seriously bluffing, “『Ignis』, it's harmless to the human body if only inhaled, so this room is now a bomb. What do you think will happen if you discharge electricity now?!” 】
【 。。。。。】

“Hahaha, Frenda's move is the legendary attempt to bluff her way through, but... Misaka actually managed to tell it wasn't English or French! You know, you're only middle school students.”
“I don't believe you for a second. Don't think we didn't see you twisting the air pipe behind your back. You're just a big bluffer.”
“I'm dying of laughter. She even remembered the name of the bomb in an instant. Is this the legendary 'lying without batting an eye'?!”
Everyone from other worlds exclaimed, “Good heavens!” It was full of tricks. Wasn't this just an ordinary smoke bomb? Sure enough, self-delusion was the most fatal... But looking at Misaka's deeply convinced expression, perhaps there really was such a thing as a gas bomb in this Academy City.
But aren't you supposed to be teaching people to research and develop superpowers?! You even dabble in military black technology. Could it be that you're also the world's largest arms supplier?
~Detective Conan World~
“If I hadn't seen your little movements behind your back, I would have believed it...”
Conan showed a dead fish eye expression, his mouth twitching slightly. Although he didn't understand the so-called gas bomb, he had heard of dust explosions.
Today's middle school students are incredible. They have a whole set of tricks when it comes to bluffing people. Misaka Mikoto, who didn't see Frenda's little movements, must be deeply convinced.
This means Misaka Mikoto will start to be constrained. If it's just about hand-to-hand combat, Misaka, an ordinary middle school student, might not be a match for Frenda, who used to be a mercenary.
~Naruto World, Past Timeline~
“Then what are you waiting for?! Hurry up and discharge electricity! Such a good fuel-air bomb is right in front of you, how can you resist? Art is an explosion!!”
Deidara was as fanatical as a cultist, wishing he could go over and perform a Fire Release to show people from other worlds what art was.
Such a good opportunity was right in front of him. For him, it was like picking up a stick on the way to school with a field of canola flowers nearby.
Although he knew the consequences of acting would be severe, he couldn't resist.
That damned temptation.
“Did he... not realize it was fake?!”
The Akatsuki members quietly moved away from this art lunatic, fearing that he might accidentally blow himself up.
。。。。。
【 Misaka, deeply convinced, was constrained by herself and dared not use any abilities. She was continuously forced to retreat by Frenda's sharp punches and kicks.
“What is this guy doing?! Even a normal stomp could produce sparks.”
Misaka Mikoto gritted her teeth, constantly dodging Frenda's attacks, unable to understand the other party's thoughts.
“Your expression is like you're looking at someone suicidal.”
Frenda's leg kept kicking towards Misaka, then she seized the opportunity to kick Misaka heavily, sending her flying.
“I've always worked in the dark side of the academy city. If I were afraid of death, how could I have done it?!”
“Ugh!” Misaka clutched her stomach and staggered to her feet.
Frenda was secretly pleased at this moment.
The first thing she threw was indeed a bomb, but later it was just ordinary nitrogen. She didn't expect Misaka to fall for such a trick. 】
【 。。。。。】
~Projection of All Worlds~
“Tsk tsk, working in the dark side since childhood, no wonder she's so experienced. Misaka is still too naive.”
“Wait... Although nitrogen is an inert gas, it doesn't mean you can still breathe at such high concentrations!”
Everyone from other worlds watched them perform such high-intensity aerobic exercise in front of such high concentrations of nitrogen, and the key was that they didn't even feel suffocated.
It was truly a miracle that they were still alive.
~A Certain Magical Index World~
“Nitrogen...”
A '#' appeared on Misaka Mikoto's forehead, her face filled with the anger of being tricked. Then she loosened her clenched fists and let out a long breath,
“Hoo—!”
After calming down, Misaka Mikoto noticed a detail Frenda had mentioned—the dark side.
She didn't expect such an organization, like mercenaries, to exist in this 'peaceful' Academy City. Perhaps by starting here, she could find some relevant information.
“Frenda did a good job this time.”
On the other side, in ITEM, one of Academy City's five major ANBU organizations, Shizuri Mugino was also happy to see Misaka make a fool of herself.
A LV 5 being beaten like this, and her ranking was even higher than hers, it was simply incomprehensible.
。。。。。
【 “It's almost time to end this, or Mugino and the others will arrive.” Frenda gently kicked her heel, extending the small knife hidden under her heel, and rushed towards Misaka Mikoto as she spoke.
“Although the target's life isn't important, it's quite moving to be a leader. In the instant of taking a life. In the end, this guy was born just to be killed by me.”
These words directly angered Misaka Mikoto. The furious Misaka raised her hand and blocked Frenda's kick towards her.
“Born just to be killed by you?!”
In her mind, she recalled the scene of meeting the Misaka Sisters. She couldn't understand why they faced such a messed-up fate without avoiding or resisting.
Misaka exerted a little force on her arm, causing Frenda, who was standing on one leg, to spin around.
Then Misaka choked her.
“Choking?! This way, you can defeat your opponent without causing impact...”
Frenda, gradually running out of oxygen, quickly grabbed Misaka's hand and, caught off guard, gave Mikoto a powerful back suplex, throwing her forward.
This also caused the lighters in Frenda's pocket to fall all over the floor. One of them happened to slide across a previously drawn white line on the ground, instantly igniting with a “Sizzle—”
Fortunately, Frenda rolled in time, otherwise, she would have screwed herself over, but her face hit the main door.
“So that's it... In the end, I was fooled by your low-level tricks.”
Misaka's hand flashed with electricity, her face grim.
“Ha... ha, tee-hee!” The speechless Frenda decided to act cute towards Misaka Mikoto, making adorable gestures at her.
“Boom—” However, Misaka Mikoto didn't fall for it. The lightning mercilessly struck Frenda, electrocuting her until she knelt on the ground, twitching.
“Who orchestrated this? And who hired you?”
Facing Misaka's questioning, Frenda indicated that she would rather die than speak, turning her head stubbornly.
“How could I possibly tell you?”
“Bang...” A lightning strike hit in front of her.
The iron-willed Frenda immediately expressed her willingness to cooperate, but when she wanted to speak, her tongue was paralyzed by the recent lightning.
Facing Misaka 's questions, she stammered and couldn't speak...
“I see, it seems you won't betray your companions. I don't dislike that...” 】
【 。。。。。】
~Projection of All Worlds~
“Acting cute is shameful, it doesn't work for Misaka, but for us... we totally fall for it. Please, more of that...”
“Some things shouldn't be said. Isn't this just dancing wildly in someone's minefield?! Isn't it better to live well, why take shortcuts?”
“What an iron-willed Frenda. This is the legendary forced non-betrayal of teammates... She actually wants to betray her teammates, but she can't speak.”
Everyone from other worlds almost died laughing at this iron-willed Frenda. It was their first time seeing someone forced to refuse to yield.
What a forced loyalty, truly an eye-opener.
It was truly a huge misunderstanding. One could only say it was fortunate that she encountered Misaka Mikoto, such a kind person, otherwise, there were plenty of ways to make her spill the information.
~Spy x Family World~
“In the end, she's just a middle school student.”
Twilight sighed. His professional instincts made him feel a bit frustrated, almost forgetting that Misaka Mikoto was still a girl living in the sunlight.
However, there are many ways to make someone reveal the information you want... While Twilight was secretly contemplating interrogation methods, Anya, beside him, had already revealed her bean-shaped eyes, her face filled with horror.
“The adult world...!!!”
Knowing Twilight's thoughts through telepathy, Anya knew she wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.
~A Certain Magical Index World~
“That brat... how dare she act cute towards Onee-sama!”
Kuroko was almost biting through her handkerchief. Only I should be allowed to act cute towards Onee-sama!
“Kuroko...”
Misaka Mikoto sighed helplessly, reaching out to rub her forehead as she looked at the increasingly perverted Kuroko. After giving her an electric shock as usual.
Then she took out her PDA and contacted Ruiko Saten. After all, with her head full of urban legends, she might have unexpected information.
。。。。。
【 Just then, a 1.7-meter green electronic ray melted the thick steel 1.7-meter door, passing between Mikoto and Frenda. The green ray, having penetrated the steel door, struck the wall on the other side, leaving a deep, glowing, crescent-shaped mark.
“Because it was too quiet, I thought you were dead.” Shizuri Mugino walked through the melted steel door, glanced at Frenda sitting on the ground, and after confirming she was fine, her gaze remained provocatively fixed on Misaka Mikoto.
“That was a close call...” 】
【 。。。。。】
~Projection of All Worlds~
“Hiss—, there's another expert. I didn't expect someone else to be present in this laboratory without showing themselves, but that's right, since they're an ANBU mercenary group, it's impossible for there to be only one person.”
“It's chilling to think about. When did this mysterious person appear behind Frenda's door? If she had really betrayed information just now, she might have been silenced.”
Everyone from other worlds suddenly became somewhat unfazed, and they all began to quietly complain.
What kind of monsters are in this Academy City? These steel doors, meant to protect the laboratory, are just for decoration, right?
Not a single one of them opened the door normally. At least show some respect! Wouldn't it be better to just honestly enter a password and open the door?
And... you ANBU members who came to protect the laboratory, you've destroyed more things than Misaka, and it could even be said that most of it was destroyed by you. It would be more believable if you said you came to demolish the laboratory.
