Accelerator thought quietly while at the remains of the Russian air force base that had been attacked by an underground organization from Academy City.

He looked at the dozen or so men and women who were surrounding him.

They were an odd bunch.

He didn’t think they were just Russian soldiers. They were wearing dark religious habits and they held special decorative swords, spears, staffs, axes, and other similar objects. Normally, he wouldn’t have thought those were very logical weapons to choose. They seemed to be an era or two behind, but they blended into the Russian battlefield that was the remains of the base that was spewing flames and smoke. He felt the same pressure from them that he did from Unabara.

There was something about them.

But that wasn’t his top priority.

He held a girl known as Last Order.

She was unconscious and lying limply in his arm.

Because he was holding her in one arm, he might damage Last Order if he used his reflection over his entire body. He had to focus on how he used his power.

He walked on his own two legs.

To make sure he did not hurt Last Order, he intentionally lowered his defenses.

“…”

Accelerator thought for a second and frowned.

Then he took action.

He focused his vector transformation power in his right hand for the purpose of attacking.

With a tremendous noise, he altered the vectors for his leg strength to shoot forward like a thrown spear. He headed for the man closest to him.

He stuck his right hand forward.

He just barely brushed the man, but the man flew over ten meters before landing.

The man yelled out a word as he flew backwards.

“Vodyanoy!!”

It was most likely a codename.

The group faltered at the sight of the sudden damage to their companion, but they started moving shortly thereafter. The woman standing diagonally back in Accelerator’s blind spot—probably the Vodyanoy the man had mentioned—made an odd motion with her fingers.

Immediately afterwards, the snow around her melted and turned into a spear of water that flew towards Accelerator.

The mysterious attack was not from a bullet or a bomb.

A normal person would have been too surprised to react and simply been skewered. However, Accelerator was not bothered by it. He himself was a mass of the mysterious.

He held up his right hand, the sole area his reflection was activated on.

The water spear was smashed to pieces.

The water turned to a rainbow of light that flowed diagonally back from his right hand. It acted as a wall of pressure that knocked away four of five of Vodyanoy’s comrades.

Accelerator had blocked the attack, but he frowned.

He couldn’t figure it out.

If his reflection had succeeded, the water spear should have head straight back at Vodyanoy and pierced her arm. Instead, it had gone astray and had disintegrated into a rainbow of light. It had been an odd phenomenon. It hadn’t been something like steam created from water or ice. Accelerator had caused the reflection but he didn’t understand the process by which it had turned to light.

(…What…?)

It felt like having something you had grabbed with the tips of your fingers slipping away.
