She said she would stop studying when school was over, but when Misaka Mikoto left the classroom and the teaching building, there was still a "beeping~" electric current coming out of her bangs.

It's just very faint, not very obvious, and you may not even be able to see it from behind.

Shirai Kuroko found nothing unusual.

When she was about to "go to work" at the 177th branch, she saw the brown-haired girl walking in front. Without saying a word, she used her ability to move in space and instantly ran into the air behind Misaka Mikoto.

"Sister-sama!"

With a call full of affection (desire), Kuroko Shirai threw herself directly on Misaka Mikoto's back. At that moment, lightning flashed and electric current raged.

"Papa~"

"Uh~ah!"

Shirai Kuroko let out a scream, fell weakly on Misaka Mikoto's back, and then slipped to the ground. His body twitched slightly, and his hair became as messy as explosive hair.

Misaka Mikoto stopped and turned around, looking at the junior on the ground speechlessly.

The body of the girl with twin tails must be very resilient. She got up in a blink of an eye and touched her stiff face. Her eyes seemed to be filled with grievances.

"It's too much, sister-sama, Heizi just wants a little physical contact, but he actually uses his power to call me."

"A small skin-to-skin kiss..."

This sentence makes Misaka Mikoto want to complain.

By the way, I would also like to detail the sins of this junior. As for what she has done in the past, it cannot be called a "little skin-to-skin kiss", but perverted sexual harassment.

It’s so perverted that I’m embarrassed to say it in front of so many people.

So Misaka Mikoto didn't say anything, but turned around and left, preparing to continue doing her own thing.

Shirai Kuroko straightened her hair and clothes, and then hurriedly caught up.

"Sister-sama, wait for Kuroko."

"What are you doing with me so you don't have to go to work?"

"We can at least walk part of the way together."

"..."

……

The stronghold of the ANBU organization Item (a certain hotel).

Byakuya came here after school. He has been coming here often recently. On the one hand, he teaches Mugino, Shenli and the others how to practice Qi, and on the other hand, he wants to cultivate their relationship.

Even if there are means to forcibly control them, their favorability and loyalty still need to be improved.

But at present, we still focus on teaching Qi refining.

"You just think of 'qi' as some kind of strange energy. If you want to refine qi, you must first sense their existence, and then absorb them into the body and transform them into the qi of the five elements..."

Refining one qi is the beginning, three qi is the small success, and the complete five qi is the great success.

The five qi move toward the Yuan and form the Hunyuan qi. This is the perfection of qi refining.

"So, you...what level are you?"

Mugino Shenli asked a question.

She didn't call Bai Ye "master" because she was still reluctant, but she still used the honorific honestly.

People under the eaves have to bow their heads.

"Me? Of course I am perfect in refining my Qi."

"Is it equivalent to Level 6?"

"Who knows, you can take it as it is, or you can take it as it's not, it doesn't matter."

After all, they are two completely different systems, so it is difficult to draw an equal sign directly.

It’s barely ok to use “approximately equal to”.

Mugino Shenli is a smart person after all, and she can understand it without too much explanation, so she nodded and continued to ask: "Then when can we reach the level of 'Qi Refining Perfection' you mentioned?"

"Don't be too ambitious. You'd better get started with qi refining first, and be mentally prepared for decades, hundreds of years, or even death before you can achieve qi refining perfection."

Decades? Hundreds of years?

You won’t be able to refine your Qi to perfection until you die?

Mugino Shenli felt that this sentence was very unpleasant: "If I remember correctly, you are younger than me. It only takes a few years to refine your qi. Why does it take decades for us?"

A hundred years? And how can any human being live for that long?"

Probably because he was very unconvinced, the tone of his words was like questioning, without even the honorific.

Franda and the others, who had been silent next to them, were a little nervous.

Bai Ye was not angry, and just said softly: "How can you compare with me? You haven't even fully understood the necessary cultural heritage, and my situation is very special."

He is a time traveler, carrying with him all the memories and experiences of his previous life.

From some perspective, he did not cultivate to the point of perfecting Qi, but recovered to the point of perfecting Qi, so the time required is relatively short.

After starting from scratch, Mugino Shenli and the others, God knows whether they can achieve the perfection of Qi refining.

"In short, it's still the same sentence. You should get started with Qi refining first and then talk about anything else. In fact, this is very easy. Normal people can do it. It's just a matter of time."

"How long does it take under normal circumstances?"

"It could take a few days at least, or a few months at most. You can't say for sure."

"Is this related to talent?"

"There is a relationship, but not much. It's quite complicated to say, but it's not an important issue anyway. You don't need to understand."

Bai Ye waved his hands towards them and stopped questioning in this regard.

Turn to other issues.

Qi practitioners not only need to refine Qi, but also practice spells, all kinds of spells.

The two are interdependent and independent of each other. You can only practice qi without learning spells, or you can only learn spells without refining qi, but the best choice is to "have them all".

Byakuya is now teaching Mugino, Shenli and the others to practice qi, but has not started teaching them spells yet.

What I taught Misaka Mikoto was only spells but no Qi refining.

……

After getting rid of that perverted junior, Misaka Mikoto wanted to play as usual, but she still remembered what Byakuya said in her dream.

Finally, I walked to a park and kicked the vending machine with a bang.

The poor vending machine can only serve drinks obediently.

Misaka Mikoto, holding a drink, walked to the hill in the park, sat on a bench for tourists to rest, and continued to think and analyze the novel knowledge.

Is the knowledge gained in dreams really reliable?

Misaka Mikoto doesn't know, she is just curious about it.

And those words seem so reasonable that people can’t help but want to test it to see if it will have any effect.

I was immersed in the ocean of knowledge and completely forgot about the passage of time.

From afternoon to evening.

The sun sets over the western mountains, and the white clouds turn into red clouds.

"Crack~!"

The electricity on the girl's bangs suddenly went out.

Stretch out your right hand with the palm facing upward, and "Bili~" the electric current gathers, gathering but not dispersing, condensing but not sending out.

"???"

Misaka Mikoto looked at the electric current on her palm, her eyes full of doubt.

"It feels like my usual ability is similar. It would be better to say that concentrating the current into the palm of my hand is a waste of time. And what effect can this have?"

The girl frowned and thought for a long time, and finally dissipated the electricity in her hands, curled her lips and stood up.

"What a waste of my time."

……

It's getting dark.

After Bai Ye finished his special lessons for several girls, he left the hotel and prepared to go back to the dormitory, where there was a prison girl named Uimi waiting for his training.

Many students were too lazy to cook for themselves and left their dormitories to look for food outside, so the streets seemed very lively.

There are also some bad guys wandering the streets looking for targets.

While walking, Byakuya suddenly saw a fairly familiar girl: Misaka Mikoto.

This time, she was not surrounded by bad guys, but walked forward alone.
To be continued...
