"Fubuki, you're sure you want to challenge me?"
Tatsumaki hovered in midair, looking down at her younger sister. Hearing that Fubuki wanted a fight left her annoyed.
After all, she was an S-Class hero, while Fubuki was just B-Class—the gap was obvious to anyone. Why was her sister provoking her despite knowing their difference in power? Was it all because of some offhand remark from that man over there?
Who's the real close one here?!
Tatsumaki was on the verge of losing it.
She shot a fierce glare at Rei Ao, who stood off in the distance. He merely waved at her calmly—and, meanwhile, began broadcasting live.
[Ding! Rei Ao (Group Admin) has started a live stream!]
Frieren: "Oh, is this the aftermath, or is it just getting started?"
Yatogami Tohka: "Started what?"
Frieren: "Well… 'the act of making love,' obviously."
Rei Ao: "It's over now."
Frieren: "Over, huh? Then why stream?"
Sakurajima Mai: "Who said a stream always has to be that sort of content, you lewd-minded elf?"
Sui: "I think I see Fubuki. That woman facing her…who is she?"
Bibi Dong: "Looks tense—maybe an enemy?"
Yomogawa Ayame: "Fubuki's world does have monsters."
Akame: "But that woman's clearly human. Monsters are usually weird-looking."
Hiiragi Shinoa: "Doesn't rule out the possibility of a human-form monster."
Rei Ao: "What Shinoa said is correct—some monsters look human. But that woman's Fubuki's older sister, Tatsumaki, the #2 S-Class hero in their world."
Mikoto Misaka: "Older sister? Seriously? Fubuki looks way more mature than that 'Tatsumaki.' Kinda flipped."
Saeko Busujima: "Just goes to show you can't judge by appearance."
Megumi Kato: "Wait, if they're sisters, why are they glaring at each other?"
Erica: "Exactly—they look like they have some deep grudge."
Stella: "Huh? Didn't you notice Fubuki's trade details? She wanted greater power to surpass her sister."
Stella: "Rei Ao and she 'finished,' right? That means he gave her power!"
Kasuga Hijiri: "Ohhh, I get it. Now Fubuki's trying to defeat her sister."
Miyuki Shiba: "But why is she so set on surpassing her sister?"
Rei Ao: "Simple. Tatsumaki is extremely gifted, and Fubuki feels stuck in her shadow, wanting to prove her own worth."
Rei Ao: "I'm guessing someone here can relate… @Yukinoshita Yukino, am I right?"
Yukinoshita Yukino: "…"
Miko Yotsuya: "Hmm, if that's the case, it must be a lot of pressure."
Mabel: "Oh, yes! Now we get a show! Popcorn and soda at the ready!"
Tohru: "…Is she okay?"
Yukinoshita Yukino: "…Don't mind her. Mabel's always been…like that."
"Big Sis, I said I'm challenging you!"
Fubuki stared up at Tatsumaki. Taking a deep breath, she used her psychic power to wrap her body, lifting herself into the air until she was at eye level with her sister.
Tatsumaki was surprised. Up until recently, her sister's psychic skill wasn't strong enough for flight.
Fubuki smiled faintly. She felt a newfound clarity and unprecedented psychic strength—all thanks to Rei Ao.
"Hmph. If you insist, I'll show you what real power is."
Even though they had aired some grievances, Tatsumaki was still firm on her role of protecting Fubuki. This time, she'd demonstrate the enormous gap between them. She casually unleashed a wave of telekinesis at Fubuki, assuming it would be more than enough to take Fubuki down.
Tatsumaki blinked. Despite her telekinetic hit, Fubuki barely budged.
Fubuki's lips curved into a smile.
"Big Sis, underestimating me comes with consequences."
She raised her hand and, in a seemingly calm space, whipped up a fierce whirlwind—a spiraling tornado aiming straight for Tatsumaki.
Tatsumaki's eyes narrowed. Impossible. How did Fubuki's power get this strong? She ramped up her psychic output to neutralize the gale.
"Fubuki—what did you do?!"
"I told you, don't underestimate me!"
The psychic battle began in earnest—very intense. The ground shook repeatedly.
Mikoto Misaka: "Whoa, they're seriously going at it! Rei Ao, why aren't you stopping them?"
Rei Ao: "Why should I? They need to fight it out to vent their feelings. And don't worry, they know their limits."
Mikoto Misaka: "You call that 'knowing their limits'?!"
Ai Hayasaka: "Are they…really human?"
Rei Ao: "Psychics are still humans, you know. If psychics aren't human, Misaka, half your classmates in Academy City aren't human either."
Mikoto Misaka: "Who are you calling a non-human?!"
Frieren: "By the way, Misaka, weren't you dealing with your clones? How's that going?"
At the mention of that, Misaka's spirits sank. She'd already destroyed several labs, but the deeper she dug, the more stifled, oppressed, and…desperate she felt. She was far from stopping the experiments. The chat group was a small haven for her to escape reality; she didn't want her negativity to spill over and trouble everyone.
Frieren: "Eh? Why'd she go silent? Did I say something wrong?"
Yuzuriha Inori: "Possibly."
Mikoto Misaka: "No, it's not your fault—it's my own issue."
Rei Ao: "Feeling down because you realized you can't handle it alone, hmm?"
Rei Ao: "If you can't do it by yourself, you can always ask me."
