Kamijou Touma turned around and looked at Index, whose tone was quite awkward.
Her eyes were emotionless, like a machine.
Although I am talking.
The wound on his back was bleeding profusely.
But...
She didn't care about the pain behind it at all.
It's as if...
It's like a man-made machine created specifically to explain magic.
All this reminds the audience of the creatures called "artificial humans" that were specially created for a certain mission as mentioned in the FGO story.
Not so much life.
It is better to say that it is a tool or device specially prepared to achieve something.
Index looked so strange.
It also made Touma reflexively think of robots without self-awareness.
"Are you really Index??"
Such a question received an answer that made Touma's hair stand on end.
"Yes. I am from the Grimoire Library of the Church of Necessary Evil, the Zeroth Parish of the English Puritan Church. The official name is Index─Librorum－Prohibitorum, but you can just call it INDEX (Index of Prohibited Books)."
For the audience, it is a name that hits the point.
But, Touma just felt cold all over.
He could relate.
Something dark to the core.
As for the existence significance of the Magic Book Library and the Index of Forbidden Books,
Kamijou felt a chill all over his body and even forgot that he was about to be killed by the Fire Giant.
At the same time, the audience was talking frantically.
Chapter 4. Use science to defeat magic
Index.
The source of things.
She was also the one who broke into Touma's world.
Even the long-standing intrigues between the magic side and the science side were laid out in the open.
He also possesses 103,000 magic books.
When Touma was fighting.
She suddenly woke up.
But he described the enemy's magic in a mechanical and cold tone.
Solved Touma's confusion.
But it also planted a shadow in his heart.
This look.
This calm and composed look makes one feel as if one is in a horror story.
The boy felt a chill running down his spine.
Didn't she feel any pain?
It's like the normal operation of the mechanical device! !
What happened to her?
Touma didn't know.
All he can do now is to keep fighting!
Dismantle runes and delay the battle.
Dangerous times.
Taking advantage of the aftermath of the fire explosion.
He leaped over the threshold, grabbed the door handle, and prepared to fight with Stiyl.
However..
Dazzling!
It's not that strenuous exercise affects body functions.
My vision was disturbed by the white pieces of paper all around.
"This guy…"
The young man clenched his fists in anger as he stared at the scene before him.
From perspective from far to near.
The buildings and streets were all filled with photocopied papers with symbols engraved on them!!
In other words, we have to find a way to destroy all these runes! !
Thinking of this, Touma clenched his teeth.
Without hesitation, he rushed towards somewhere and plunged into the sea of fire without any hesitation.
Courageous, focused, and fearless of danger, these qualities that a protagonist should have are fully displayed!
The series of actions flow smoothly.
It's not something that an 'ordinary high school student' like him would have the courage to attempt.
Kamijou Touma.
Hidden very deeply...
...
"There are a lot of puzzles now." Inui Sadaharu looked at them and listed the puzzles of the story so far.
There are three in total.
First, Kamijou Touma claims to be an ordinary student, but his professional qualities when facing danger are exceptionally high.
Second, in this Academy City, no one knows where magic comes from. Either the source of magic is strange and rare, or the city deliberately blocks the news.
Third, what exactly is going on with Index?
Likewise, there is a little suspense that should be added.
How can Kamijou Touma defeat Stiyl, who has carved a lot of talismans on the floor?
In addition, Touma's athletic ability and judgment are quite unusual.
"Such athletic ability and determination are not like those of ordinary people as he said. It is obvious that he has practiced." Oreo World, Chocolate Oreo expressed his opinion.
It is difficult to tell the strength of the body with the naked eye.
But actions leave no room for lies.
His movements were as smooth as flowing water.
It is enough to give the audience new points of speculation and suspicion.
"There is another thing worth studying... Since the plot reveals that the scientific side has no way to spread information from the magic side, then..." In the Type-Moon world, Gilgamesh looked at it with disdain and analyzed it carefully: "Huh? It's interesting to think about it this way... Maybe the two sides will be surprisingly consistent in this regard?"
If the final factor that determines the outcome of the game is the weak difference in knowledge between the technology and magic sides...
"If you think about it this way, King..." Tōsaka Tokiomi heard Jin Shanshan's opinion and fell into deep thought, then humbly put forward his own opinion: "I guess, perhaps the one with the better terrain will win."
It is impossible to clearly distinguish which one is inferior and which one is stronger.
To judge the outcome, one should consider 'the right time, the right place, and the right people'.
At this moment, these factors...
"Oh wow, both sides are science-oriented cities. Those who make good use of scientific common sense have a slightly higher chance of winning." In the Dragon Ball world, Frieza basically named and pointed out the possible winners.
...
The audience are all experienced.
Years of viewing experience will occasionally allow viewers to understand the foreshadowing in the plot.
But in the world of Magical Index.
Stiyl's face looked slightly worse.
The pestle is like wood.
Watching the video, the corners of my mouth twitched.
There is no other reason.
"I actually..."
Thinking of the defeat, Stiyl felt very unhappy, but he could not find any reason to refute.
Okay, I admit it..
Failure does have something to do with common sense.
At that time, I just wanted to ensure victory.
I also fully believe that it is impossible for a fire extinguisher to destroy the talisman paper.
But I didn't expect...
"Tsk, who knew the ink would get wet and dispersed?"
[Crunch..]
The noise was that of Steele crushing a cigarette box.
The exposure of the clip has left the world with one more sad person.
"That's awesome, Touma!"
At Mr. Kamijou's house in Academy City.
Mr. Kamijou, whose privacy was sadly exposed, had just hung up the phone call from his parents expressing his condolences when he was cheered and praised by Index.
Really..
It's tricky...unfortunate!!
The parents sounded proud of themselves.
Kamijou was becoming increasingly confused.
By the way...what was Index saying?
"Ah...you mean, the details of how I defeated him?" Touma collected his thoughts and asked.
The silver-haired girl who came closer nodded repeatedly.
"Yeah, that's right, Touma!"
Although the answer to the story will soon be revealed.
but--
If she knew it in advance, she would be able to gain this happiness first!
"Haha, is this...is that so?"
Index's curious and innocent eyes made Touma, who wanted to confuse the audience, feel strongly guilty.
He finally understood what it meant to "tell a lie easily but cover it up with difficulty".Seeing that she was not able to explain the process clearly due to procrastination, Index's expression gradually changed.
At first he was expectant, then he gradually frowned, and then he had a cute expression of puffing out his lips in anger.
"Ah...Anyway, why don't you just keep reading?"
Touma said this with cold sweat pouring down his face.
He was a little hesitant.
Should I...take the initiative to tell the truth?
...
at the same time.
The video screen continues to play.
A magician is having a decisive battle with an ordinary high school boy.
The boy escaped.
Hesitating and lingering in the corridor.
If he took one step to the outside, he could escape the danger.
Or...call the police?
Unfortunately, there is no way to take this shortcut.
His right hand couldn't erase the fact that his phone had been stepped on and broken.
Maybe the only way is to abandon the picture of Index..
But, but ah! !
"…Even if I go to hell, will you stay with me?"
The questioning voice that resounds through my heart returns.
It was like a spell, tightly encircling Touma's thoughts.
I obviously didn't do anything wrong… I probably didn't do anything wrong…
But I can't get rid of this sentence.
I can't forget the choice Index made when she faced the same situation.
She chose to sacrifice her life to help.
How can I give up?
Sense of responsibility and mission.
Synchronous excitation.
Think carefully.
He looked up to the ceiling.
The fire alarm...nothing happened.
"…Speaking of which, why didn't the fire alarm go off when this guy was making such a fuss?"
After the words were finished, he was speechless.
"Yes! A fire of this scale in a scientific city would not cause the alarm to respond!?" Dr. Tsuchiya from the four-wheel drive racing world also felt something was wrong.
"There is also a certain suspense point." In the Attack on Titan world, Erwin Smith looked at the screen and said, "Since the origins of the power on both ends are different, can ordinary water extinguish the flames on the magic side?"
A suspenseful situation.
The spectators all stared at Stiyl's movements.
The heavy rain irrigated the entire apartment.
The huge noise also startled Stiyl.
Just as the audience expected.
The high-quality and high-temperature magic flame showed no sign of being extinguished.
It also surprised the audience.
"I wonder if there is a possibility... that Kamijou Touma will be defeated because of his reliance on the power of science?" Looking at this scene, Inui Sadaharu paused in his grip on the pen, and he weighed the frame of his glasses in surprise.
"Dad said that we should use membrane magic to defeat membrane magic!" Joseph Joestar also rubbed his chin.
"Come to think of it... How could a magic flame be extinguished by an ordinary sprinkler? It just seems impossible, right?" Agatsuma Zenitsu curled the corners of his mouth, feeling puzzled.
This is the fact right before our eyes.
There was no sign that the fireworks had gone out.
So...
"Touma, Touma! How did you win?" Index's surround sound kept ringing in my ears.
What on earth is going on?
Eh..wait! ?
"Copier, talisman paper...ink..." Touma in front of the screen watched this scene, his head buzzing.
He came up with some ridiculous solution.
But...it is really possible!
He thought of Stiyl's flaw.
Suppose Stiyl was deliberately on guard.
He was not prepared for the possibility of the flame being extinguished or for a flaw in the magic.
What Stiyl was worried about was probably disturbing the alarm system.
This guy obviously forgot some common sense.
In other words, having grown up under the influence of magic, he was unable to instantly react to the flaws in his own magic.
This thing is called the Witch Hunter King.
A huge amount of rune paper is needed to act as a medium.
However, rune paper is a wholesale product of ink photocopying.
The same logic can be understood -
"The fire alarm device... is the first step to destroying his magic, Index!"
Maybe there is an element of desperation in trying anything possible.
Touma, who was pressed by Index to inquire about the battle situation, suddenly came to his senses.
Index, who was also confused, stared at the screen with a buzzing head.
Just as Touma guessed.
Stiyl hurried towards the elevator.
Touma's house is on the seventh floor.
Want to run away as soon as possible.
The only way is to rely on the elevator.
While thinking about this.
suddenly...
[bite--]
The slight sound of metal machinery.
This is... Is the elevator still intact?
Steele was clearly pleased to see the elevator intact.
However, before the feeling of relief could flow through my heart, it was overwhelmed by a sharp shock.
Wait..At this time, who used the elevator?
It was summer vacation at that time and all the students were away from home.
Before entering the dormitory, Stiyl also confirmed that there were no ordinary people in the dormitory who would be affected.
So, who would take the elevator at this time?
With a vague feeling of panic.
The magician, who had the upper hand, turned around stiffly as if mechanically the moment the elevator door opened.
He didn't want to believe it.
I can't understand it at all.
Standing at the elevator door, a calm and indifferent hedgehog-haired boy.
He...actually escaped from the pursuit of the witch-hunting king! ?
"…Runes are supposed to be carved on walls and floors, right?"
During the confrontation, Touma did not hesitate to tell the panicked red-haired man the whole story: "...I really admire you! You are really amazing. If your runes were really carved on the wall with a knife, then I would have no chance of winning. You can brag about this to your friends."
Rune...
Sprinkler??
Steele was stunned.
Immediately, he scolded.
From the perspective of the magic world, there is only one possible reason why the flames went out.
The fire was put out.
"How is this possible! How can a body of fire that is three thousand degrees be extinguished by such water vapor?"
He retorted.
Unexpectedly.
Touma looked at him like he was an idiot, "Idiot? It has nothing to do with the flames! Think about all those stickers you made."
At this moment, Steele was already showing signs of defeat.
The answer was also completelUnder the eyes of the audience.
The young wizard fully exposed his weakness of lack of common sense in life.
The audience burst into laughter.
So behind the screen, Steele himself also laughed along.
Kamiya Kaori thought about her own situation and secretly felt lucky that her clumsy side was not exposed.
As for Tokiwadai Junior High School.
Misaka Mikoto felt inexplicably relieved: "So, I guess I won, right?"
Although it sounds a bit like popping champagne at halftime to say this before the winner is revealed, she clearly has a hunch about who the winner will be.
Besides..
Very subtle.
Since the video started playing.
Why did Shokuhou Misaki suddenly sit next to her? It's like they are very familiar with each other...
But she was still watching the video with a smile on her face, and suddenly she said, "Whoever gets angry first loses the principle. Humph... this guy is bound to lose."
After he finished speaking, he snapped his fingers.
It sounds like there is a bit of double entendre in this sentence...
Misaka Mikoto twisted her lips. She obviously agreed with her idea, but she still chose the opposite answer because the two were in conflict: "...Maybe!"
"~~"
The two remained indifferent and silent.
And in the video.
The witch-hunting king's heavy hammer arm struck down fiercely.
It seemed to be a move that sealed the victory.
However--
"it's useless."
The answer I got was just three words.
It can be seen from the reflection of his vision.
The thin figure with the hedgehog hair style gently moved his arm.
The witch-hunting king he relied on to fight instantly disappeared into thin air and exploded ridiculously.
A reality that Stiyl could never have imagined in his wildest dreams——
Photocopy paper can't be washed away by water, but the ink used for drawing and printing has been...
Go beyond common sense and subvert your worldview.
The truth of his disastrous defeat made Stiyl howl and call out the name of his beloved magic.
But no matter how you shout.
All I got was the echo of despair and loneliness.
in addition--
The fist was getting closer and closer to the face.
[Bang--!!]
A loud and crisp sound hit the face of the inhumane and cruel magician.
A boy named Kamijou Touma defended Index's life.
It also defended his reputation for being a pure and kind person.
[Bang! ! ]
The magician's body spun in the air like a bamboo dragonfly, and the back of his head hit the metal handrail.
Total defeat!
This ending is both reasonable and humorous.
It is not wrong to say that it is full of black humor.
Chapter 5. Memory once a year (4K)
The friendship-breaking fist begins to move.
The weak defeated the strong, and the whole room was speechless.
Stiyl's spiral spinning and falling posture was like dancing.
He hit the stairs with a thud and fell unconscious.
The confusing battle came to an end.
The crowd burst into thunderous applause!!
A beautiful victory!
...
The curtain gradually turned black.
Then the highlights are accompanied by narration.
Briefly describe the story that is about to unfold.
"Goodness attracts goodness, and when the two are combined, new colors emerge."
"Caught between the narrow gap between magic and science, the extremely unfortunate Mr. Kamijou Touma gradually stepped forward."
"It's not the kind of protagonist who shouts to help when hearing a cry for help, but the kind of protagonist who steps forward without hesitation to help anyone who sees a desperate expression signaling a call for help."
"This paranoid and correct path, goodwill will always exist, and he will also win a large number of recognition with this kindness that never forgets his original intention."
"In order to save the girl who was used as bait, he and his companions broke into the enemy camp alone and defeated the enemy!"
"In order to save the clone girls who were constantly being killed, he stepped forward and fought against Academy City's No.1!"
"Further into the future, I am gradually drawn into a deeper and darker reality, fighting to break through the shadows and return to time."
"The journey to save Index is not over yet, this... is just the beginning!"
"He has a determination that will never give up. This is the protagonist of this episode, Kamijou Touma."
The mechanical subtitles are dazzling.
Soon, the music swept across, and a melody called "PSI-missing" hovered and soared.
As viewers digested this spoiler news in shock.
The bright indigo color is evenly distributed, and the colorful rainbow colors are condensed and combined to embellish this title.
"The Most Benevolent Saint, Kamijou Touma"
The first encounter begins.
Following this, the video continues to play the process of him carrying Index to seek help.
The girl was covered in bruises and needed medical treatment.
However, this process also highlights Touma's kind nature.
The audience's focus is no longer here.
Just these few sentences.
It was enough to create a stir among the audience.
The flow of the plot starts again.
But, in the science-oriented Academy City.
At this moment, a roar sounded!!!
They still don't have a clear concept of what a magician is.
But...
It's a lie! ?
The value of being among the top 7 in Academy City.
The seven strongest people in Academy City, all Level 5 esper users, with Accelerator ranking the highest among them!!!
I was actually defeated by him! ?
Vector operation, all is possible.
This name represents tyranny and tyranny.
It is an existence that the residents of Academy City are extremely taboo about.
The ranking of people with super powers is said to be based on their computing abilities and research value.
Although the ranking also takes versatility into consideration, and will place slightly more versatility higher in the ranking, but...
The testimonies of the guys who were dealt with by Provocateur No. 1 could not possibly be lies!
This guy is scary!!
It is absolutely powerful to the point of being terrifying.
"I was able to defeat No.1. This matter..."
"Hey, wait a minute!? Speaking of which...who is the clone girl who was murdered???"
The cloned girl who was murdered.
That means there are more than 20,000 of them, and only Misaka sisters are left with far less than 10,000 of them.
This dark and cruel story has not yet been revealed.
At Tokiwadai Junior High School, Misaka Mikoto was also staring at the video in confusion.
By the time he noticed it, he had already stopped and stood upright, staring at the screen in confusion.
She had just finished the Fantasy Hand incident and hadn't figured out the true meaning of [Clone] yet, but she felt more and more excited.
This guy actually has a way to defeat that vector operation...
Tsk, this guy really tricked me.
"This guy, it looks like he had several tricks up his sleeve when fighting with me." Unwilling to admit defeat, Misaka Mikoto gritted her teeth and snorted in anger.
As a fan, Heizi nodded repeatedly and said, "That's right! These apes don't understand the beauty of onee-sama at all, and they just treat onee-sama casually. This is really great!"
[...What a farce. ]
This is the case even in Academy City.
It's even worse elsewhere.
For example, the deepest dark part of Academy City.
A member of the Kihara family who reigns over this organization, the King of Fighters Kihara Sudo.
As the developer of Accelerator, he was also quite surprised.
In a flash, he laughed and said, "Tsk, do you mean that kid will get beaten up? But... well, it's an interesting thing."
It's just a dog-eat-dog situation.
Kihara was happy to witness this scene.
...
"Hey... Hey hey hey?? This kind of thing."
"Ah... But it seems that it's not surprising when I think about it. Being called the kindest protagonist or something like that... It's just a joke."
In a living room in Academy City.The top superpowered person crushed the coffee can.
He looked calm at first.
Then, he pondered for a while in boredom.
In a flash, she pursed her lips at the amusement of Touma's nosy sense of responsibility.
There was a healthy smile on his lips that was unruly and carefree.
This ferocious expression is the best foreshadowing of his mouth being crippled and deformed in the future.
Astonished and suddenly realized.
It took two or three seconds for the two emotions to switch.
That's right..
It's only natural that I get noticed!
After all, I killed 10,000 clones.
Even though this group of rats were like ants and had no intention of escaping or begging for mercy.
but.
Guang Guang thought of Kamijou Touma's key words and characteristics——
They will be stopped and they will be found at your doorstep. That's so reasonable!
"Hehehe... that's right, a good person is someone who wants to save everyone who sees injustice. It's normal!"
Accelerator muttered twice.
Excitement was ignited.
It's not just a stupid half-hearted mentality of just wanting to fight out of sheer bloodlust.
He felt slightly amused.
Being personally involved in the plot is different from simply observing and watching the protagonists living around you.
"Heh...it's really interesting."
Suppressing his laughter, NO.1's ferocious laughter echoed throughout this star field.
Observe carefully and find out the truth...Observe Kamijou Touma through legitimate means and know his weaknesses. No one has the right to complain, right?
The sight is hung on the video curtain.
And at this time.
Touma takes Index to visit the teacher.
I knocked on the door with the wish that [I hope the teacher doesn't have super powers].
Magic is something that allows people without talent to display supernatural powers.
Therefore, he entered Teacher Xiaomeng's house with the hope that she did not have super powers.
The good thing is.
Index's forced calm mode was activated.
At this critical juncture, the existence of this protection actually gives Index a chance to escape.
Fortunately, she was saved.
When Touma was sent out.
Teacher Xiao Meng assisted her in completing a great magic to heal her injuries.
At the same time, this also made Teacher Xiao Meng worry about what kind of situation the students were facing.
But fortunately.
The teacher is open-minded enough.
She didn't push too hard and pretended to go shopping to leave some room for the poor Mr. Kamijou.
Really...thank you thank you..
Trying to ease his tired breath, he bowed and thanked her.
While the teacher is buying groceries.
Index finally talked about her origins and troubles.
The origin of the story goes back in time.
The split in Christianity was discovered.
Due to political factors, various religious groups holding conflicting ideologies gradually split up.
Religious sects with unique styles emerged in all countries and regions.
Index's troubles also stem from the sect she belongs to.
English Puritanism
The new nouns do not deviate from the usual order of summary on the mysterious side.
"There is a special unit in the English Puritan Church."
Index spoke softly as if she was confessing her sins: "The Church of Necessary Evil studies magic and devises strategies to defeat magicians."
"If you don't understand the enemy, you can't defend against the enemy's attack. However, once you understand the filthy enemy, your mind will be tainted. Once you come into contact with the filthy enemy, your body will be tainted. So the one who takes on these "dirty" jobs is the "Necessary Evil Church" and the core of it is..."
Easy to understand.
It is obviously to help the organization eliminate dissidents and may even eradicate the darkness of its own party members.
Such obstacles do exist.
The world of heavens.
There are many such situations.
"In order to eradicate the evil party, the darkness necessary to maintain order has its reasons." In the Naruto world, the sexy sun brother Danzo, who is known as the dark ninja, leaned on a cane and spoke in a sonorous and powerful voice.
"That's right. Even within an organization as prestigious as Passion there are restless guys. The mission of our boss's personal guard is to protect the boss's safety and deal with these selfish colleagues." In Naples in the JOJO world, Tobio expressed his views with high morale.
"It's really ridiculous, what these guys want to say..." Frieza from the Dragon Ball world, who was also watching the video, frowned and sneered: "Well... although I shouldn't disturb your fun, you are willing to take on this kind of work out of your own will, but it is completely different from the little girl in the video."
It's something that anyone with a discerning eye can see.
Willing to do it, versus being forced to do it.
These are two extremes.
The former gives up human rights and silently protects the things they love.
The latter are forced to give up their human rights and become tools, losing their freedom forever.
Mr. Kamijou is sentimental.
He saw through it at a glance.
Index also has mysterious powers.
Living a completely different life from myself.
This is also the reason why Index's greatest sorrow is the death of her heart.
She is equivalent to Tang Monk's flesh.
Everyone wants to take a bite.
Anyone who obtains the 103,000 magic books in his brain.
Unsurprisingly, he will step into the realm of gods and be called the [Demon].
Devil...
A noun for mysterious and hidden things.
"It's a term that has never been heard of in a long time."
Aleister closed and opened his eyes, the device relaying his point;
"The demon god... Phase Spark... It's like the god who rules the universe is controlling every chess piece on the chessboard..."
Sigh, there seems to be a story behind it.
But he didn't give a long monologue, instead he continued to stare at the video.
He sneered at the devil.
Only a small number of the audience cares about the existence of such things as demons.
After all, it is normal for each world to give the strongest monsters horrifying titles.
And in the video.
Touma obviously didn't care about such fantastic things.
The only one he cares about is Index!
Now that you know these things.
There is no way he would give up Index!
It was very annoying to see those magicians ignoring her original good intentions.
And those churches that see her as "filthy" are also very annoying.
These guys don't treat people as human beings. But what makes Kamijou most upset is that Index can still be so considerate of others even though she sees such selfish people.
That's right.
Every word sounds like a fairy tale.
The secret of the church?
One hundred and three thousand magic books can help one ascend to the level of demon god?
What a joke!
Do you actually think that this level of exaggeration will discourage you?
This is such an incorrigibly kind kid.
So...
"So what?"
It's just the matter of 103,000 magic books.
So what?
Kamijou Touma might be afraid, but there is no way he can escape!!
No matter how things turn out.
No matter how Index sees herself.
A young man named Kamijou Touma would also be obsessed with saving her and helping her.
Get her out of this quagmire of misfortune!!
The speech was impassioned and the voice was passionate.
However, this noble sentiment was completely destroyed by Index in an instant.
She reminded Touma of something.
The reason why Index left at that time.
"That's right! It's because Touma said that he wanted to go to the summer cram school…"
When talking about this matter, Index behind the screen still feels aggrieved about it.
His eyes tilted downward at a forty-five degree angle, staring unhappily at the spiky-haired boy beside him who was also in an awkward situation.
Touma had no way to explain, so he could only give a perfunctory smile.
"This, haha.. How can I put this? After all, studying is the most important thing for students."
Who can be blamed for this?
