The Puppeteer of Academy City

In Misawa School, Kamijou Touma and the magician Stiyl ran along the corridor.

They traced the past along the strange ripples around them.

"Are you sure it's in this direction?" Kamijou Touma asked while running, "What does this phenomenon represent? Is there something wrong with the enemy's barrier?"

Stiyl said impatiently: "How would I know! I'm an expert in magic, not alchemy."

"What!" Kamijou Touma was surprised, "You don't know anything and dare to come to the enemy's lair?"

Stiyl looked back at him meaningfully, but didn't answer.

Kamijou Touma felt more and more unreliable in his heart.

They went up another floor by stairs. Suddenly, a magnificent and solemn song sounded in their ears.

The two slowed down and looked around warily.

Even Kamijou Touma would not think that this is the BGM that the enemy played for them.

"Oops." Stiyl's face became even more gloomy, "Hurry up, the enemy must be defeated as soon as possible!"

Bang, bang, bang, bang...

The sliding doors of the classrooms on both sides of the corridor opened one after another, and the students inside came out one after another.

"Is it time for get out of class to end?" Kamijou Touma hurriedly backed away.

He still remembers that these students are now in a state of invincibility plus superpower, if he fails, he will be squeezed to death by the swarming students!

The students walked out of the classroom one by one slowly. They were in a strange state. They didn't have the activity and excitement of normal students after class, but moved steadily and slowly.

And all of them looked dull and expressionless, like walking dead, which made Kamijou's hair stand on end.

The singing, the sacred and magnificent chorus came from the mouths of these students.

As the singing began, Kamijou Touma noticed that the ripples around them were gradually subsiding.

"Oreos started to fight back!" Stiyl continued to run forward with a stern look on his face.

Kamijou Touma just wanted to remind him to be careful, but found that these students are now in a state that can be touched.

He quickly followed, and together they pushed through the crowd and ran forward.

After finally squeezing to the end of the corridor, Kamijou Touma suddenly saw a special figure flashing around the corner.

She has jet-black waist-length hair and wears a priestess costume. Kamijou Touma was deeply impressed by her—that was the girl they needed to rescue on this trip, Hime Kami Akisa!

"It's her! Hey, wait a minute!" He quickly chased after her.

"Hey, don't run around!" Stiyl also shouted loudly, but was separated by the crowd that surrounded him.

The "songs" of the students turned into weapons, weaving all kinds of magic out of thin air and blasting towards Stiyl.

"It's troublesome..." The rune card in Stiyl's hand burned and turned into a flaming long sword.

Kamijou Touma was so focused on chasing Himegami Akisa that he didn't notice the battle that broke out behind him.

When he turned his head again, he couldn't even see Stiyl's figure.

Kamijou Touma knew that this must be some method of the enemy. Even if he is not a magician, he can deduce from the knowledge he has obtained in games and comics that the so-called "enchantment" and "field" are the home of the wizard.

He and Stiyl are separated by the enemy.

But Kamijou Touma didn't hesitate, but continued to run forward.

Steele is a tough guy, so don't worry about it. The most important thing now is to find Ji Shen Qiusha as soon as possible.

However, this black-haired witch is like a ghost, "flying" in the corridor. Kamijou Touma tried his best and couldn't catch up.

In the end, it was Kamijou Touma's incessant shouts that caught Himegami Akisa's attention, the girl stopped on her own initiative, and he was able to catch up to her.

…

"Sorry, I don't need to save you." After hearing Kamijou Touma's intentions, Himekami Ayusa unexpectedly said such a sentence.

"Huh? Why!" Kamijou Touma was stunned.

"Thank you very much for your kind rescue." The girl said, "But you and your companion may have misunderstood, I was not kidnapped, I stayed here on my own initiative. It should be said that I have a cooperative relationship with the alchemist .”

"But..." Kamijou Touma wanted to say something more, but found nothing to say.

After all, the legitimacy of my mission has been completely denied by the other party!

If you insist on forcibly taking them away, you may become a "kidnapper" instead.

Ji Kami Qiusha suddenly said quickly, "Anyway, get out of here quickly!"

Saying that, he pushed Kamijou Touma up the stairs with his hands.

"Huh? What's the matter?"

"It's too dangerous to stay here!"

Kamijou Touma suddenly remembered that this is still the enemy's territory! Although he did not rescue the girl, he had actually invaded the alchemist's territory.

"No! Even though the alchemist didn't kidnap you, he didn't do anything good either!" Kamijou Touma suddenly realized, "He illegally occupied this school and turned all the students here into his own puppets !"

— Those students who were like walking dead just now are the best example!

"He must be stopped! Otherwise, it will definitely cause tragedy!"

Jigami Akisa became more and more anxious: "No, I assure you, the students here will not be harmed in the end! So please leave quickly!"

"Why are you in such a hurry to drive me away..." Kamijou Touma yelled while being pushed away by the girl.

"Because she wants to protect you?" The voice of the third person suddenly sounded from the side.

A man's voice, but not Stiyl.

Kamijou Touma felt the girl behind her lose strength in her hand.

"Oreos..." Himekami Ayusa said as he stood in front of Kamijou Touma, "You promised me that you would never hurt anyone else."

"There is indeed such an agreement." Oreos stepped forward.

This is a two-meter-tall man who is meticulously dressed in a white suit and looks uniquely oppressive.

Kamijou Touma raised his right hand to block in front of him, looking at him vigilantly: "Hime God, don't block here!"

He pulled the girl behind him and confronted the alchemist himself.

"I see, are you the one who is constantly eliminating the composition of my world?" Oreos nodded, staring thoughtfully at Kamijou Touma's right hand.

"Where's my companion?" Kamijou Touma asked ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Do you mean Stiyl? Unexpectedly, the other party already knew the identity of Steele, "He has already been defeated by me." "

"Damn it!" Kamijou Touma cursed, and the corpse he saw in the stairwell flashed through his mind.

"Don't worry," Oreos said lightly, "I didn't kill him, and likewise, I will spare your life...once!"

"Don't be complacent, who wants your forgiveness!" Kamijou Touma said bravely.

Oreos ignored his low-level provocation: "Because both of you are the guardians of the catalog of forbidden books, I will spare you once. Remember, this is not an example..."

"Index? What does this have to do with Index!" Kamijou Touma widened his eyes and became excited.

"...However, you just can't remember." Oreos waved his arm.

Kamijou Touma also raised his right hand, but...
