The Puppeteer of Academy City

Jingle bell jingle jingle jingle jingle

The piercing phone ringing relentlessly woke Kamijou Touma from a comfortable slumber.

"Who... so annoying..." Kamijou Touma muttered, while reaching out to fumble for the phone by the bedside.

"Huh? Why am I sleeping on the bed?" Kamijou Touma suddenly woke up.

These days, Kamijou Touma could only use the bathtub as a bed because a young girl lived in the apartment, and gave up his own bed to Index.

I slept so comfortably today, it must be because I have experienced a soft bed for a long time.

After getting up, Kamijou Touma saw that the curtains were drawn in the apartment, and the room was dark, but the sun was clearly shining outside.

Index also fell asleep lying on the low table next to her.

Kamijou Touma grabbed the phone with his left hand, and gently got off the bed and moved to the balcony.

He remembered that his head was a little groggy this morning, probably because he had been spending the night in the bathtub and didn't get a good rest.

So today I don't want to bother to prepare lunch myself, and it's a rare extravagance to go back to the supermarket and buy a luxurious bento.

After hastily eating lunch, I took a groggy nap.

Until now... Kamijou Touma looked at the time displayed on the phone screen, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon.

Also, the annoying guy calling at this time to disturb people's slumber is "Flame Maniac".

"What the **** is that nickname!" Kamijou Touma couldn't help complaining, "If you think about it carefully, it should be the magician named Stiyl, right? Hitomi Shiranui mentioned it emphatically."

"How long are you going to sleep!" As soon as the phone was connected, I heard the stern reprimand from the other side.

"It's summer vacation now, I can sleep as long as I want." Kamijou Touma went back angrily after getting up.

Judging from the other party's tone, Kamijou Touma felt that there was no need to be too polite to him.

"You made an international call all the way, what's the matter?" Kamijou Touma asked again. He still remembered that this magician was an Englishman, but he felt that he was very proficient in Japanese.

"How is that child?" Stiyl was silent for a while before asking.

He didn't correct Kamijou Touma's misunderstanding.

Stiyl was in Academy City at this time. To be precise, he was standing on the roof of the apartment building facing the balcony of Kamijou Touma's apartment, covering himself with runes.

His visit this time is a covert operation - or a "private operation". It was to see if Index was living well here.

Coupled with his identity as a magician, he walked very low-key and did not tell others.

Especially I don't want to tell Kamijou Touma!

If the curtains in his apartment hadn't been drawn all afternoon, so he couldn't see what was going on inside, Steele wouldn't have called to question him.

"Index?" Kamijou Touma looked back, "She's fine. Except for the higher food expenses, there are no other problems."

"Listen well, don't treat that child badly!" Stiyl warned, "Also, don't expect us to give you subsidies!"

Kamijou Touma shrugged and prepared to return to the house. Index seemed to be about to wake up too.

With some difficulty, he clamped the phone with his head and shoulders, and awkwardly freed his left hand to open the door.

"Is your right hand disabled?" Seeing this scene, Steele couldn't help complaining.

"Huh?" Kamijou Touma was stunned, then looked down at his right hand.

At some point, his right hand was tightly clenched and hanging by his side.

Moreover, during the time after waking up, Kamijou Touma found that he had completely forgotten the existence of this right hand.

The brain tried hard to recall, and it seemed to remember the way to control the right hand.

Kamijou Touma opened his right hand and moved it a bit.

"Strange..." He scratched his head habitually, "Why..."

Click!

A crisp breaking sound resounded from Kamijou Touma's head.

Kamijou Touma once wondered if his skull was cracked.

But immediately, a large number of memories came to mind.

...Mission..."Vampire Killer"...Hime Kami Akisa...Misawa Juku...Alchemy...Oreos...

At noon, he and Steele recalled everything about the "expedition" to Misawa School.

Kamijou Touma has a deep understanding of the "amnesia" incident recently, so he immediately figured out what happened.

He also remembered that at the last moment, the alchemist Oreos had mentioned Index!

"Hey, where are you now?" Kamijou Touma asked, "I'll come to you right away!"

"How do you know I'm in Japan?"

"Stop talking nonsense, I'll explain to you when we meet."

Kamijou Touma rushed into the house, found another excuse to fool Index, and then rushed out of the apartment.

Still at the place where they met in the morning, the two met.

"It's nothing new..." Kamijou Touma commented.

"What's the matter?" Stiyl asked with a cigarette in his mouth, his face full of impatience.

"Actually, you are cursed." Kamijou Touma said, "Come on, stick out your tongue. Close your eyes."

Because Steele himself did find some sense of disobedience, so he directly believed what Ling Xingye said.

Seeing the right timing, Kamijou threw an uppercut.

He was hit **** the head and bit his tongue again. Stiyl covered his mouth in pain and couldn't speak for a long time.

But at the same time, all his memories were restored.

"Damn it, he tricked me!"

"What should we do now?" Kamijou Touma asked quickly.

"That goes without saying, continue with the mission!"

So the two set foot on the road they had walked not long ago again.

"The enemy is troublesome. It is impossible to guard against. It is enough for us to do the planned tasks."

The two found the nearby bus stop with ease.

To save the world, you have to take a bus!

Kamijou Touma checked the bus schedule on his mobile phone. The nearest bus is less than ten minutes away.

At this time, a black commercial vehicle passed in front of them.

The driver of the vehicle appeared to be driving like a drunk driver.

Kamijou Touma and the others took a few steps back to prevent being affected by this car.

The commercial vehicle barely stopped next to Kamijou Touma.

Suddenly, there was a loud noise, and the rear window was smashed open from inside the car~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Glass shards flew everywhere.

The one who smashed the window turned out to be a girl's head!

Kamijou Touma saw that Misaka Mikoto was held down on the head and hit the car window so hard that the strengthened tempered glass shattered.

The girl was also covered in blood from the blow.

"Bilibili! Why are you here! What's going on!" Kamijou Touma said in surprise when he recognized the girl.

"Help...help me!" Misaka 10001 begged for help with difficulty.

Immediately afterwards, he was grabbed by the neck by the **** gloved hand and dragged into the car again.

The black commercial vehicle started up again and left at a high speed.

"Stop!" Kamijou Touma yelled, and ran after him without thinking.

"It's that Misaka Mikoto?" Stiyl also followed, "I was very active in the last incident, why did I become so embarrassed?"
