The Puppeteer of Academy City

Super powers and magic cannot coexist, and it is impossible for any human being to master these two powers at the same time—this is the "axiom" obtained by both the science side and the magic side.

Ling Xingye is a superpower, and of course he is no exception.

The reason why he was able to write magic runes was that Ling Xingye "just drew lines that could condense magic power". It is enough to memorize those runes as ordinary lines without asking for understanding. Even the magic contained in it is realized through special ink.

Ling Xingye didn't expect much combat power from his ghostly painting talisman, it was just a means to attract the enemy.

Since the target is me, follow me obediently.

After passing through two alleys, an email was sent to his mobile phone, which indicated three remote buildings to be demolished.

Ling Xingye compared the city map in his mind, and then walked towards the nearest pre-selection battlefield.

…

After being busy until dark, Ling Xingye set up all three selected battlefields. For this reason, he had to cancel today's original plan.

Under the night, Ling Xingye was sitting on the roof of an abandoned office building, eating bread and bento that he had bought temporarily.

The surrounding ground has been filled with magic runes as bait. Just waiting for the enemy to come to your door.

However, Ling Xingye didn't know that when he was immersed in his work and setting up the battlefield, his apartment was almost burnt to ruins...

This morning, while Ling Xingye was still sound asleep, his neighbor Kamijou Touma ran into a beautiful girl who called herself the "Catalogue of Prohibited Books" - Index on the balcony of his house.

A girl in an out-of-date white nun's costume claims to be a magician who belongs to the Puritan Church and is currently being hunted down.

Because of the 130,000 magic books recorded in her mind, Index has been hunted by the enemy all year round.

At the same time, Kamijou Touma soon parted ways with Index because he was in a hurry to go to cram school. Although it can be proved that she is a magician, being hunted down or something is still too far away for Kamijou Touma, an ordinary high school student, and he lacks a sense of reality, so he doesn't take it seriously.

The flame magician who was also waiting for the whole day in the apartment building naturally couldn't wait for Ling Xingye to come home...

"Tsk, have you already given up on this stronghold? What a waste of my hard work." Stiyl played with the stack of cards in his hand, "Do you want to put it away? It's a little troublesome."

At this time, he saw his partner Kanzaki Kaori appear from the stairs.

"Why don't you take the elevator?" Stiyl asked casually, and then suddenly noticed the abnormality of the girl, "Kanzaki, why do you look so ugly!"

The waist-length sword girl smiled bitterly: "I...missed."

"I remember you went to hunt down Index," Stiles became nervous, but thinking of Kanzaki's strength, he still couldn't believe it, "Could it be that you lost it?"

"I chopped up that child..." Kanzaki Kaori looked at his hands with a nearly collapsed expression, "The mobile church on her body failed for some reason, so I chopped it up as usual..."

"Where is she now, what's going on with her!" Stiyl was shocked, the card fell to the ground, his hands tightly grasped the girl's shoulders and shook vigorously.

Although Kanzaki Kaori's strength is far stronger than the opponent's, he has no intention of breaking free.

"The kid... is heading here."

As soon as the voice fell, the elevator sounded.

A girl wearing a white nun's uniform fixed with safety pins staggered out of it, followed by four barrel-shaped robot vacuum cleaners, cleaning up the blood that flowed down from the girl's body.

"This..." Stiyl was so anxious that he wanted to rush over immediately.

"Impossible!" Kanzaki held back her companion with a miserable expression, "If we show up, she will definitely force herself to continue running away... She can't hold on for too long!"

"Is it just watching her lose too much blood and die!"

"Before she loses consciousness and passes out, we can only wait for someone to save her...someone other than us."

Finally, Index was exhausted and collapsed at the door of Kamijou Touma's apartment.

Two minutes later, the owner of the room also came out of the elevator.

Seeing the distraught Kanzaki Kaori, Stiyl stuffed her into Ling Xingye's apartment, and walked out by himself.

"Leave it to me. In your current state, you can't even do acting."

The door closed, and a moment later...the boy's roar and the terrifying sound of flames bursting out came.

"Acting...?" Kanzaki Kaori slowly sat down against the edge of the bed, staring at the wall in front of him, "To carry out the image of the villain... I still don't have the courage after all."

Although the fight outside was in full swing, and Stiyl even used his trump card "Hunting the Witch King", unexpectedly, he didn't cause too much damage to the apartment itself.

Because he controlled it very well, and he also applied magic to the building body to resist the burning of flames in advance.

Even so, he still has to wholeheartedly implement the image of the "villain"—in front of Index.

"Why did this happen?" Kanzaki was confused, "But, it will be over in just seven days... Next time, let's not play the villain again."

After making a decision, she calmed down a bit, and then she was in the mood to observe the room carefully.

Because it was just moved in, the decoration of the room was extremely simple, and there were several cardboard boxes piled up in the corner that hadn't had time to be opened.

But on the wall that Kanzaki Kaori was facing at this time, there were already decorations on it.

"Thousands of machines and ever-changing" - a simple calligraphy of seal script.

Kanzaki Kaori has a good understanding of Chinese characters, and has also studied ancient Chinese, so he was able to recognize them.

In the current most mainstream magic world, Chinese and ancient Chinese are almost forgotten roles. Because Kanzaki Kaori was born in Japan, their own culture and Shinto traditional rituals have a considerable amount of Chinese characters, so only they will learn this part of knowledge.

According to the latest information obtained this afternoon, Ling Xingye who lives here seems to be a student from the mainland across the sea—if this information is true.

Kanzaki Kaori found some photos in the room, but it is actually difficult to tell which country they are based on their appearance.

In the process of further searching, Kanzaki Kaori discovered that the owner here does not seem to be a magician—at least not a professional magician.

As for the fluctuation of magic power felt by Steele and her during the day, it was only emitted by some decorations in the room.

Puppets, Buddhist beads, pendants, peach charms, wooden swords... are the most common handicrafts in scenic spots such as temples and gymnasiums. UU reading www.uukanshu. com

It's just that seemingly ordinary handicrafts have been "blessed". In Buddhist terms, it means that it has been "consecrated", so it has a certain magical effect and can protect the wearer to a certain extent.

Kanzaki Kaori suspects that Ling Xingye's only criterion related to magic is one thing - there are too many consecrated items here, and they are all cleverly processed high-level magic items.

Considering that this is to be used by an ordinary person who has no magic at all, this is already the limit.

So it is not difficult to draw a conclusion, even if he is not a magician, this Ling Xingye definitely has a lot to do with the magic world!

Kanzaki Kaori stood up and approached to carefully observe the calligraphy on the wall. Suddenly noticed that there was still a framed calligraphy and painting on the table below that hadn't been hung in time.

So Kanzaki Kaori picked up the frame and hung it up himself.

There are four big characters in seal script - "the sun and the moon flying in the sky"!

boom!

The door was opened from the outside, and hot air poured into the room in one breath.

Stiyl walked in angrily.

"How is it?" Kanzaki Kaori asked hastily.

"Let that kid escape... take Index." He frowned, "It seems that he wants to find a doctor."

"The hospital is too late for that kind of injury. It must be treated with magical power." Kanzaki Kaori grabbed the long knife, "It seems that the boy has won Index's trust. If so, let him and Index If you grab it together with silk, it should not cause a rebound."

"How much strength did you use?" Stiyl couldn't help complaining.

However, he did not refute, but packed up the scattered cards on the floor, and chased them out with Kanzaki Kaori.
