When Accelerator entered the van, he took a seat beside the lady with Nordic blonde hair in formal attire. The lady maintained a formal and polite expression, while the silent blonde girl sat across from them, exuding an aura of coldness.

"So, what do you all want this time? Want another taste of my performance?" Accelerator boasted, his confidence evident in his tone.

"No, we have seen enough of that. Our concern is that you might join the other side. We hope that this time you'll be open to our discussion," the woman responded courteously as the door of the van sealed shut.

"Alright, give me a compelling reason why I should choose your side instead of the other one. Make it convincing because, considering all your attempts to recruit me, it's a miracle I haven't killed any of your people," Accelerator demanded, cutting straight to the point.

"An excellent question. We are glad you asked," the formal lady praised him, though Accelerator sensed a hint of insincerity in her words.

"We are with Deus Ex Machina Industries, also known as DEM. We are the world's largest corporation, manufacturing various technologies for global military and police forces. Our influence extends over many countries, organizations, and armies. The entities you have encountered are among our top-secret technologies, but they are merely a glimpse of our capabilities," The lady provided an explanation in a clear and concise manner.

"So, it's like if Academy City were annexed by Japan, and all its valuable assets that don't want to be under government control formed a business corporation. It's the old 'friendly corporation,' but actually an evil corporation in disguise," Accelerator mused silently, trying to grasp the nature of the organization while the silent blonde girl observed him coldly.

"Allow me to provide you with an example to give you a clearer understanding," Pointing towards her subordinate, the lady spoke and conveyed her message.

The blonde girl reached into her pocket and retrieved a dog tag. She tapped it against her forehead.

Acknowledging the directive, she swiftly declared, "Lancelot."

In an instant, a bright light engulfed her, and her formal attire transformed into the futuristic neon blue armor she had worn during her battle with Accelerator. The armor resembled that of a medieval knight, projecting an aura of strength and power.

"It is called a Combat Realizer Unit. It enhances the user's physical strength and is equipped with various weapons. That's all I can reveal for now. What do you think?" The woman presented and asked te boy.

Accelerator was intrigued by the process, which seemed to defy the laws of science. He continued to gaze at her, contemplating how it was possible for either the user or the armor, or both, to possess such extraordinary capabilities. If he were to acquire one of those units, he would no longer have to rely solely on the Misaka Network or the temporary foreign network he was currently connected to.
