The Puppeteer of Academy City

After finishing speaking, Arisu Ito turned around and ran into the crowd.

Looking around, even Ling Xingye couldn't find where she was hiding.

However, Ling Xingye also understood the meaning of what Jing Teng Youqi said.

— On the familiar shopping street, there are many "peers" performing street performances today.

And they are all dressed in black dresses, top hats, and holding a civilized stick...

Although the details are different, they are generally in the same style. At first glance, I thought they ran out of a masquerade ball.

Due to the unique style, Ling Xingye once thought it was a group activity organized by a nearby school club, so he never paid attention to it.

Now take a closer look, only to find that the gentlemen in this outfit are performing street magic.

On both sides of the entire street, there is a performance almost every ten steps.

At first glance, it is magnificent.

Ling Xingye couldn't help being astonished, and after a moment of stunned asked, "Is this popular in universities recently?"

"It's not just in the university! In fact, the craze for legendary magicians is sweeping the entire Academy City... no, it's all of Japan... no, it's the whole world! Misaka Misaka proudly pointed out that the hero-senpai has fallen behind the trend."

It was another figure that had to be lowered to see, and Accelerator, who followed her and exuded the aura of "no one can get close to you".

Ling Xingye subconsciously protected Hitomi Shiranui, and at the same time moved her fingers to contact the monster in the bag.

"I'll leave this kid to you." Accelerator suddenly dropped this sentence, turned around and left.

"Wait a minute! Don't leave Misaka Misaka behind! Misaka Misaka hurriedly catch up."

Ling Xingye withdrew his gaze and asked, "Hitomi, what's the situation with that legendary magician?"

"It's a magician named Baoliang." Hitomi Shiranui explained, "It is said that he is a wandering magician in the mainland. His magic performance is very good! Recently, a video of his performance has been circulated on the Internet, which has triggered this craze. .”

Hitomi Shiranui explained in detail that, in fact, on the Ling Xingye fan site she manages, someone uploaded Variety Baoliang's legendary magic show.

Recently, Ling Xingye was busy with various affairs, so he didn't notice this sudden wave.

"So, student Ling, you are OUT!"

The new girl patted him on the shoulder heroically, and turned around to see that it was Meililu.

Beside her, there are Toyama Haruka and Yakushiji Mixi.

A group of people greeted each other.

"Are you here too?"

"Because I heard it's very lively here." Merylu said.

"Come and see it, it's even more exaggerated than imagined." Yaoshiji Meixi sighed.

Ling Xingye finally figured out the current situation during the quick and active communication of several girls.

It turned out that the mysterious magician Bao Liang quickly became popular all over the world with his outstanding magic performances. Even if there are only some magic performance videos that have been circulated, they still have countless fans.

It set off a wave of magic in this student-centered city.

His cloud fans imitated his performance costumes and began to learn magic tricks.

Some people who are eager to perform, or have a certain level, are not satisfied with self-entertainment, but also begin to perform publicly for the audience.

And this shopping street in the fifth school district, because Ling Xingye often comes here to perform puppet shows, seems to be regarded as "a dedicated place for street performances" by default.

That's why so many magicians are attracted.

Ribbons, balloons, white doves flying all over the sky, those that spray water, fire, and even blood...

On the shopping street, a group of demons danced wildly for a while, causing discipline committee members, security teachers, and barrel-shaped robots to flock to maintain order.

Ling Xingye and the girls around him stared dumbfounded at the scene in front of them.

"It feels... messy." Yuan Shanyao hesitated to express his inner evaluation.

"Yeah, after all, they are all amateurs." Ling Xingye agreed.

Mei Lilu was even more rude: "Those guys who ignite and discharge are especially bad, are they just playing clowns?"

"They used their abilities." Ling Xingye shook his head and said, "This is the worst—from the perspective of street performance."

"Is that so?" The girls all looked at Ling Xingye, wanting to hear the opinion of this street performance expert.

"I don't know about other types of performances, but magic, tricks, acrobatics, etc., including my silk-drawing show, in fact, the core selling point is the skills of the performers. Other things are just packaging and extras."

With that said, Ling Xingye put on the ring—a doll bear puppet crawled out of the travel bag, and tap danced vividly at his feet.

"Strictly speaking, this Academy City is the most unsuitable stage for magic performances."

Hitomi Shiranui asked, "Because of superpowers?"

"That's right, because of super powers." Ling Xingye nodded, and the bear puppet under him began to perform floor exercises, "Spatial movement, fire ability, telekinetic power... due to the existence of super powers, there are many miracles in magic. ’ It’s just a natural phenomenon here, and it doesn’t bring surprise and satisfaction to the audience.”

"Magic performances using superpowers are the worst - not professional cleanliness, but once they are discovered by the audience, they will inevitably be cast aside, and even destroy people's sense of expectation for the magic industry as a whole."

Merylu nodded in agreement: "Indeed, if you know that magic is the result of relying on superpowers, it will feel more frustrating than directly revealing the mystery—at least the secrets of magic can be understood and copied, but superpowers and so on, there is no There is a way..."

"That's why Xingye insisted on not relying on superpowers in street performances!" Yuan Shanyao was stunned.

"It's basic work ethic."

It is also Ling Xingye's pride as the pillar of the Ling family's puppet show.

Seeing passers-by attracted by the performance of the doll bear puppet, Ling Xingye put away the puppet decisively and urged the girls to leave here.

"Looking at it from another angle, that magician named Baoliang is indeed very powerful~www.wuxiaspot.com~ was able to conquer this Academy City."

"Of course," Hitomi Shiranui added, "Sister Yang said that even the chief magician in the circus can't see through his techniques and tricks."

"Huh? Does Sister Yang know him too?" Ling Xingye asked in surprise.

Sister Yang—Lu Xuyang is the daughter of the former troupe owner. After taking over the Ling family troupe, she changed her name and registered the trademark "Sun and Moon Lingkong" circus. It went abroad in one fell swoop and is currently the most famous circus in the world. Currently leading a group tour around the world.

It was hard to imagine that she would have the time to pay attention to a wandering magician. It's even more unimaginable that all the brothers and sisters couldn't see through Baoliang's tricks!

"Of course, because Sister Yang has been following Xingye's fan site for a long time." Hitomi Shiranui said with a smile, "Also, Sister Yang has also uploaded a lot of clips of the 'Sun and Moon Volley' circus performances, which are also very popular."

It seems that she was indeed stimulated, and Sister Yang was aroused to be competitive—Ling Xingye was thinking secretly, after going back, she had to study it carefully to see how capable that legendary magician Bao Liang was.
