Especially since the geniuses are, in fact, the lifeblood of Academy City. The espers may be famous, but its advanced technology is what the city leverages for economic and political power. |

What do you mean "so what"? If the data is destroyed, that's pointless because that's what Mikoto came there for- to save Febli. She didn't want to risk getting it destroyed. He may have been lying, he may not have been- she doesn't know. How was she supposed to know how "her way" would turn out? She's an electromaster, not a fortune teller.

There is a reason why hostage situations require expert education and training. |

How is it contradicting? The only thing contradicting here is how the fillers show us how long misaka took to think during the fight with the robot when misaka has showed us time and time again how fast she can react to dangerous situations.

Now you're going out of Mikoto's character. That's something you might do (who knows? I don't know you) but that's not what Mikoto would do. Remember back in Sisters Arc? She wasn't even willing to fully torture Frenda when she had her cornered.

And the Heaven Canceller's role in this arc is another piece of bad writing. In the Novels HC's is known as someone who can save anyone's life as long as they are even 0.000000000000000000000000000000000000000001 alive. Something to keep Febri alive would not be very difficult to someone like Heaven's Canceller.

With my way, even if the data isn't in the stick, or it's destroyed, why, he'd have something I want - the poison neutralizer formula. And I'd have something he presumably want - his balls. And there's also the possibility of negotiating with a mind reading esper rather than a crazy guy. As for "expert education and training", I'm pretty sure that one of the first, if not the very first, lessons is to not listen to Hollywood. Under no circumstances are you to drop your gun. Too bad Mikoto failed to figure that out. Quote:

Somehow I feel like SnK Armin's quote fits quite well here....
"Everyone can make a choice after they have learned what it will result in. It is so easy to say we should have done it this way afterwards. But you can't know what your choice will result in before actually choosing. Not really sure why a lot of people here are bashing Mikoto's decision. Sure, it's dumb to trust a evil scheming person. But how much does she really know about him? We only knew that they're like what they are because we've seen them in action. Mikoto has never met this guy before and she was given the chance to get exactly what she wanted [the antidote thingy]. I don't think it's that hard of a stretch that she's willing to sacrifice herself to get the antidote. I think Mikoto was trying to take the easiest route without hurting anyone and losing the chance to cure Febli. Sure, beating the crap out of the guy who may have backup somewhere might be plausible, but seriously how much more effort do you have to put in to actually bash the guy, torture some info out of him [which Mikoto wouldn't really do], and then go get that backup plan which might end up being destroyed by the guy's comrades while she tries to get there. And again, why are you guys expecting so much from a 14 year old girl [who just went through traumatic experiences as well]. And between the choice of: 1. Follow instructions and may have hope of getting the antidote and 2. Attack regardless, risk of destroying the antidote in the process [highly likely cuz of her powers OR the guy destroys it before she even gets to him], beating info out of him which could potentially be hard, having to go search for their backup in another building in which she has no idea where it is, fight more people that will be guarding it, and be pushed on a time limit cuz who knows if they destroyed that backup too. [Sorry getting repetitive] But yea, I think in a hostage situation [or at least Mikoto's situation], it's difficult to make the right decisions because you're short on time. Even so, she'll probably take that 10% [or whatever number] that the guy will actually GIVE it to her if she follows his instructions. Anyway....just my 2 cents, take it with a grain of salt.

1. he specially create a artificial human and consider it nothing more then a thing. 2. he is in the darkside of Academy City 3. he sent those robots to attack her and friends 4. he is holding a Febri's medicine as hostage. Not a single one of the thing I listed is something done by decent human beings you can trust.

- what she did is pretty much always dumb. You don't have to know the guy you're facing to make that conclusion. - she knows he's already tried to murder Febri, and what kind of person does that? Quote:
