Compared to the Mass Production Esper Program, the Absolute Esper Evolution Experiment was far more cruel and perverse.

An Absolute Esper is an individual who has transcended humanity and reached the divine realm—Level 6 psychics.

According to the calculations of Academy City's supercomputer, the "Tree Diagram Designer," if the city's top Level 5 esper, Accelerator, were to fight against Misaka Mikoto, one of the strongest Level 5 espers, in 128 different battlefields, and defeat her 128 times, he would evolve from a Level 5 esper to a Level 6 esper.

However, Academy City doesn't have 120 Level 5 Misaka Mikotos, so they used 20,000 clones of Misaka Mikoto as substitutes.

The plan was to have these 20,000 clones battle Accelerator in 20,000 combat scenarios. Once all 20,000 Misaka clones were killed, Accelerator would evolve into a Level 6 esper.

The current clone George had was Misaka Mikoto's clone number 9981, and it was killed during the final indoor experimental battle with Accelerator.

"Although I said last time that I didn't want to turn into an animal and preferred a human body, I wanted to be a man, not a woman!"

George slowly opened his eyes and, seeing himself dressed in a short skirt school uniform, couldn't help but sigh.

That's right. Misaka Mikoto is not a man but a woman—or more precisely, not yet a woman, just a 14-year-old middle school girl still in the "flat-chested" stage.

So her clones were all of the same size—young girls.

Looking at his various clones: the first was an 11-year-old boy, the second was a magical cat, the third was a giant panda, the fourth was a 14-year-old girl, and not a single one was a normal human.

Couldn't he at least get a grown man's body?

"However, this ability isn't bad. It's greatly enhanced my magnetic control."

Misaka Mikoto, ranked third among Academy City's seven Level 5 espers, was the city's most powerful "Electromaster," known by her code name, "The Railgun."

A second-year student at the prestigious Tokiwadai Middle School, she was known as "The Ace of Tokiwadai" and "The Strongest, Invincible Electric Princess."

Her esper power, electromagnetism, was essentially the same as his inherited ability to control magnetism, like Magneto's ability. The difference was that Misaka Mikoto primarily used her power to generate electricity, capable of freely manipulating currents as high as one billion volts. In contrast, Magneto mainly used magnetism to control metals for combat.

Magnetism, one of the four fundamental forces, if fully developed, could destroy the universe.

However, simply possessing magnetism doesn't mean one can control it perfectly.

Magneto can lift ships, trains, and stadiums, and after being developed by Apocalypse, he could even reverse Earth's magnetic field. George, on the other hand, could only control metal objects weighing up to a thousand pounds.

As for generating electricity, electromagnetic waves, or micro-control, he wanted to do those, but they were beyond his reach.

It was like the same sword in the hands of an ordinary person would only result in clumsy swings, but when in the hands of a skilled swordsman from different schools, it could be transformed into various intricate moves.

His use of magnetism was at a basic level, with no one to teach him—everything was self-taught.

The most common uses were controlling blades or needles for sneak attacks.

While Misaka 9981 was just a clone with only Level 2 electromagnetism, after merging with his own magnetic powers, her magnetic level directly reached the strength of a Level 4 esper in this world.

From the knowledge implanted into his mind from the clone's memories, George learned the methods for releasing currents, electromagnetic forces, and electromagnetic waves—Misaka Mikoto's techniques.

So now, all of his clones and his original body, in addition to controlling metal, could release high-voltage electricity and flick coins.

"Huh, you emotionless puppet, you actually didn't die completely after taking my last hit."

A cold, somewhat confused voice interrupted George's thoughts.

Looking up, he saw a somewhat frail, white-haired boy. The boy's eyes were filled with murderous intent and madness.

This boy was none other than Academy City's strongest Level 5 esper, Accelerator.

"If you're not dead yet, I'll send you off properly."

Accelerator reached out and touched a broken stone pillar, causing it to immediately lift off the ground and hurtle toward George.

"Forgot about you, troublesome guy."

Seeing the stone pillar flying toward him, George didn't use any magic defense. Instead, he tried to convert his magnetic power into high-voltage electricity based on the knowledge from Misaka 9981's memories. He raised his hand and directed a jolt toward the incoming pillar.

Under the influence of the high-voltage current, the stone pillar rebounded back.

However, just before the pillar could hit Accelerator, it seemed to be stopped by an invisible defense, causing no harm.

What was clear, though, was that Accelerator was evidently shocked by the intensity of the electric power George had unleashed.

"No, wait. You're not a puppet. A puppet shouldn't have such strong electricity. Are you the original body?"

He paused for a moment. "No, that's not it. You weren't like this before, and the original body's electricity should be much stronger than yours."

"Interesting. Very interesting!"

With a sudden stomp, Accelerator caused the cement floor beneath him to explode. Countless stones shot toward George at bullet-speed.

George waved his hand, and the nearby iron door immediately flew toward him, blocking all the stones. At the same time, he swiftly darted into the staircase behind the iron door.

Accelerator had the ability to control vectors, meaning he could freely manipulate the direction of any known energy, making him a formidable opponent.

However, George knew that the battle was still under observation. Numerous surveillance cameras were aimed at him and Accelerator, with researchers in nearby labs constantly analyzing the fight.

Revealing too much of his power prematurely was unwise. It was better to leave the area, find a safe place to hide, and then carefully plan his next move.

Although he now had a preliminary understanding of this world, thanks to the knowledge implanted from Misaka 9981's memories, there were still many unknowns. It wasn't the right time to make a spectacle of himself.

"Running away?"

Seeing George flee without continuing the fight, Accelerator was momentarily stunned.

Under normal circumstances, these clones acted like robots, following commands without hesitation. They would never run away or beg for mercy, so he didn't feel any psychological burden while killing them.

But now, one was running. Why? Was it out of fear?

Could these puppets have emotions like humans?

Accelerator's pupils contracted. He used his ability to summon four swirling tornadoes behind him, and they rapidly sped toward the staircase where George had fled.

"Impossible! You must be changing tactics."

"Well then, I'll play along. Let's see what you've got!"
