At 5:30 in the m, the crisp chill of dawn lingered in the air.

  Kaminari arrived at Omiya Park once again, his usual training ground. However, it was rare for him not to run into Midnight. She was always earlier than him, but today she was o be seen.

  Thankfully, he hadn't e here for a m jog this time. Instead, he headed straight to his "secret base."

  The pce remained unged. A small open clearing surrounded by cracked mounds, a sun umbrel shading a makeshift pstic table and chairs, and a Pikachu arm clock sitting nearby, it all looked just as it did yesterday.

  "Alright," Kaminari muttered as he stood in the ter of the clearing, taking a deep breath of the fresh jungle air. The ess washed away the st remnants of his drowsiness.

  "God Speed, activate!"

  As he murmured those words, a faint crag sound echoed through the clearing. It wasn't loud, and the occasional chirping of distant birds was much more noticeable.

  "Good, let's warm up first."

  Kaminari used his "God Speed" teique to let the electric current stimute his muscles, essentially massaging his body into readiness.

  This method of warming up was undoubtedly more effit than jogging, and Kaminari couldn't help but appreciate the venie provided.

  "Now, let's figure out what to focus on today," he thought, standing still as the gentle currents worked through his body.

  The first step was recalling the shortings from yesterday's events.

  "During the obstacle course, I was at a disadvantage because I couldn't fly. The sed and third ses really slowed me down. pared to someone like Bakugo, I was stuck dealing with more obstacles than necessary," Kaminari mused, narrowing his eyes.

  "Learning how to fly stably has to be one of my priorities moving forward."

  But he shook his head and refocused. "No... what's even more important is how reliant I am oernal objects. That's a huge problem. It held me ba the cavalry battle and during the one-oches. I o fix that first."

  Pulling a from his pocket, Kaminari studied it closely, lost in thought.

  "Eleagis will always require a physical carrier. That's just the nature of the teique—after all, even Misaka Mikoto couldn't bypass this limitation..."

  His gaze sharpened. "But... what if I didn't o use my hands?"

  He began thinking through the meics. "The principle behind the railgun isn't that plicated. By f a spiral arc of electricity around my arm, I gee a magic field. That field bees the eleagic track, and then I use a high-voltage shock to unch the projectile."

  "But what if I could create that magic field in mid-air, trolling the with eleagic force before firing it?"

  To test his idea, Kaminari flicked the into the air. A faint current from his "high-speed movement" state surrou, ing the in goldericity.

  "Bzzzzz..."

  The hovered in mid-air, held steady under Kaminari's trol. The eleagic force linking it to his palm was visible, a subtle golden thread of energy.

  "trolling the isn't hard," Kaminari muttered, his focus sharpening. "The tricky part is creating a magic field around it without direct tact."

  He increased the iy of the current in his arm, and a linear burst of electricity surged toward the . Sparks danced as the electric field around the expanded, f a glowing golden ring coil in the air.

  "Crack!"

  The moment, the disappeared in a fsh of light.

  "Boom!"

  In the blink of ahe shot forward like a beam of golden energy, pierg through the mound in front of him. A , circur hole smoldered in its wake.

  Kaminari blinked in surprise, staring at his raised hand.

  "Wait... Did that actually work?" he asked himself, astonished. "It didn't evehat difficult. I just o focus a bit more, definitely easier than firing it with my hands, where it's all instinct at this point."

  He paused as realization dawned.

  "Ah, of course... It's all about familiarity. I've practiced the hand-fired railgun so many times that it's basically muscle memory now. No wohis feels so different."

  A small smile tugged at the er of his lips. "If I unch a railgun like this, then I won't have to limit myself to just o a time because of my hands."

  His eyes gleamed with excitement as he pulled out two more s from his pocket. Flig them into the air, he began to replicate the process, trolling them with eleagic currents.

  "If this works, then the railgun moves from being a siarget attaulti-target teique," Kaminari thought, his mind rag with possibilities.

  He imagined a sario where he was surrounded by enemies. If he could unch dozens of s into the air and fire them all simultaneously, he could bombard every dire at once.

  ainst a stronger oppo, he could focus all his attacks on a siarget, unleashing three, four, or even ten railguns in rapid succession. With that level of trated firepower, even someone as elusive as Shigaraki wouldn't be able to escape.

  "Let's see you dodge when the sky is rainiromagic projectiles," Kaminari murmured, his smile widening at the thought.

  "Bzzzzzz... Crack!"

  Anolden beam of energy shot out, puncturing another mound with precision. But Kaminari frowhis time, the sed fell to the ground, untouched.

  "Dang it," he muttered, bending down to pick up the . He studied it thoughtfully, repying the moment in his head.

  "As I expected... trolling multiple projectiles is tough. Trying to bawuns at once is like trying to focus on two pletely different tasks at the same time."

  Still, there was no frustration in his tone only determination.

  "But if it's possible, that's all that matters," he said firmly. "A problem that be solved with training is no problem at all."

  His fidence fred as he pocketed the s. "I've already made progress with Raikiri. pared to that, mastering 'Multiple Railguns' is just a matter of effort."

  Even so, Kaminari shifted his focus. For now, eleagic attacks requiriernal objects weren't his top priority.

  "What I really need is a move that uses pure electricity, a ratack that doesn't rely on anything else," he thought.

  Raising his right arm, he aimed his palm toward the battered mound in front of him, now riddled with holes.

  "Let's see where my limits are."

  "Crack!!"
