People are forbidden by magic, just become mercenaries

Here we go again, more and more strange names start to gather.

Kamijou Touma rubbed his temples, trying to memorize the nouns the girl said.

Otherwise, I am afraid that he will even be unable to ask because of his attitude towards the question later.

"Moreover, the three largest churches in the world, including British Puritanism, Russian Orthodox Church, and Roman Orthodox Church, also have a lot of connections with this 'mercenary'. It can be said that he is a well-known existence on the magic side, and he is probably the same as you Everyone in Japan knows Toyotomi Hideyoshi, right?"

"Wait a minute, isn't he a 'mercenary'? Can such a person be such a great existence? Or is the 'mercenary' you mean different from what I understand?"

"The 'mercenary' we're talking about should be the same identity. But because his relationship has helped calm many big events that would cause national problems, he is a great man who has contributed to the entire wizarding world."

"It's here again, the magical world? Is it time to come to the part where you are actually the lady saint from another world?"

Scratching his head in despair, Kamijou Touma almost gave up thinking about these facts that were too far removed from reality.

"Are you kidding me a bit?"

"..."

"Are you kidding me a bit?"

Facing the serious nun, Kamijou Touma raised his hands in surrender.

"I don't want to either. But I can't understand when you talk to me so much all of a sudden. Then, why is this 'mercenary' so great, and why do you go to him for such a 'great man'? Are you going to To entrust him to protect you?"

"Yes. I also said just now that the practitioners in my 'team' who have an obvious 'Golden Dawn' flavor are chasing after them."

"So... is there any 'Mr. Mercenary' who has trouble with the 'Gold' or something? Or is he the 'Shinsengumi' type?"

"Actually, the so-called 'Golden Dawn' was the name of a magic association a hundred years ago. There are many 'gold'-type magic associations in the world today, all of which are the 'successors' of that association that flourished after it was destroyed."

Quietly listening to the nun lady's explanation, Kamijou Touma sat obediently and did not speak.

How should I put it, seeing a girl explaining so seriously, Kamijou Touma really couldn't bear to interrupt her.

"The magicians who chased me down were probably members of a 'gold' association. And which 'mercenary' is also the successor of the 'gold' line."

"In other words, the relationship between the two parties is that the 'bad gold' is chasing you, and you want to find some 'good gold' mercenary gentleman to deal with them, right? But is this okay? You say they are chasing you Is it a professional team of two to three people? Is it okay to rely on only one mercenary?"

Kamijou Touma completely gave up on "rationality" considerations, and directly acquiesced to Index's statement.

After all, no matter how magical the things she said, it was an indisputable fact that a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl suddenly hung on the balcony on the seventh floor.

"There is no problem with this at all. Because which mercenary is the 'strongest gold in modern times' magician known as 'the closest to the gold'. Don't talk about a team of two or three, he once wiped out all the mercenaries in northern Europe by himself. There are thousands of Nordic magicians, so there is no need to worry about combat effectiveness."

"Did you just say something incredible?"

"?"

The girl who tilted her head was completely unaware of the incredible truth that just came out of her mouth.

Kamijou Touma sighed as if discouraged.

What to say?

Although Kamijou Touma lives in a next-generation technological city full of magic, there are also a large number of "capable people" who can dominate in different worlds around him.

But compared to the "ability" with a fairly complete theory, any student who has received an education in Academy City can't believe such a magical term like magic, right?

If you are an atheist who embraces high technology and receives the same education, you will definitely deny the existence of fairy tales such as "magic" outright, right?

But unfortunately, the boy named Kamijou Touma can't do that.

His misfortune is beyond the scope of scientific explanation.

Moreover, strictly speaking, he does have anomalous powers that "Academy City cannot explain".

fantasy killer

This is Kamijou Touma's "ability".

It is an innate talent of a boy named Kamijou, who has the ability to eliminate the "power of supernatural power" through contact.

Even miracles that only appear in mythology are completely invisible.

If you consider "nature does not create meaningless things", then if it is necessary for something like "Fantasy Killer" to appear, then it means that there is something that is paired with it.

Since there are "abnormal powers" like "Fantasy Killer" in the world, if "magic" is the truth about Kamijou Touma's arm, then this incident seems to have an inseparable relationship with him.

However, compared to "magic exists", Kamijou Touma is more willing to believe that it is "another system's superpower".

"In this Academy City, superpowers are not uncommon. Just inject medicine into the vein, pass electricity through the neck, listen to the special rhythm of the earphone, or eat some special stimulating food. Strictly speaking, Anyone's brain can be 'developed'. Everything can be explained by science, and who can deny its existence?"

"so?"

"I think the magic you mentioned is the superpower of another term. Maybe it's just another term due to cognitive or cultural differences?"

"I can't understand what you said. Since super powers are possible, why don't you recognize the existence of magic? If it's just a 'complete theory', magic is no different from the super powers of Academy City, then Why do you unilaterally believe that magic is something that doesn't exist?"

Seemingly not understanding Kamijou Touma's thoughts, the nun named Index frowned and asked Kamijou Touma the reason in a puzzled tone.

"It's not that I don't believe it, it's just that I can't simply believe in such empty words, right? For example, a capable person can rub fireballs with bare hands, so magic should be able to do it too?"

"Of course, although your statement is very general, whether it is Christianity or local mythology, there is no problem with simply lighting a fire."

Nodding seriously, the nun named Index seemed to be trying very hard to get Kamijou Touma to admit that magic really existed.

It feels like a kid trying to prove that he can really do it.

"In this way, if you perform a show to let me see and see, then I may believe it? Otherwise, just talking about it is too unconvincing, right?"

"I don't have magic power, so I can't use magic."

"..."

Chapter 320 Seven: A Sudden Explosion?

Kamijou Touma has already begun to doubt Index's statement.

In other words, he has been listening here with a skeptical attitude from the very beginning, and he wants to use Index to try to get information about his "Fantasy Killer".

But now it sounds like Kamijou Touma has some doubts about whether this girl is too good at fantasy, which makes it impossible to distinguish the difference between reality and fantasy.

Magicians exist, but I don't have magic, so I can't use it, but magic does exist.

How is this any different from the fake psychics out there who say "the camera distracts me so I can't bend a spoon"?

Having said that, in fact, Kamijou's heart is also very complicated.

Although he said that there is absolutely no such thing as magic, in fact, Kamijou is completely ignorant of the ins and outs of his right hand ability "Fantasy Killer".

How did it work?In that invisible air, what power is there?Even Academy City, which is at the peak of superpower development in the world, cannot find out Kamijou's "ability" through physical examination, so he was labeled as a "level zero incompetent".

And it is not acquired after receiving a scientifically-based development course, it is an innate ability of the right hand.

Although he has thought about whether he is an existence like a "raw stone ability user", any equipment in Academy City seems to be unable to detect his aim diffusion field.

In other words, it is absolutely impossible for him to be a proto-stone capable user with "the performance of the aim diffusion force field far exceeds that of ordinary capable users".

And to be honest, although Kamijou Touma has been saying "magic is impossible in this world", but he does have the power of "abnormal power" beyond common sense.

But you can't just make baseless conclusions like "Since there is really incredible power in the world, maybe magic really exists" because of this, right?

Rather, the current Kamijou Touma is indeed more inclined to think that the "magic" in Index's mouth is a variant name for some kind of "superpower".

If you think about it this way, it seems to be closer to reality.

Moreover, although Kamijou Touma wanted to say a stupid line like "says there is magic, but I don't know it".

But won't do it.

After all, he himself was in a similar situation.

It's obviously not completely incapable, but it can't use simple and clear things like discharge and anger.

To put it bluntly, Kamijou Touma is also the kind of person who "clearly says he has superpowers, but he can't use them himself".

A certain sense of empathy made Kamijou Touma continue to ask patiently.

"Okay, I tentatively admit that magicians exist."

"It just exists. You can't simply deny other people's secret efforts just because you haven't seen it, right? People who obviously only have superficial superpowers are amazing and look down on others. Such a person is the worst."

"Only this is the only thing I agree with abnormally. But I still have another question. How did you enter Academy City? If you think about it according to what you said, you shouldn't have entered through legal channels, right?"

"Actually, I don't know very well. When I realized that it was true, I found that I had already entered."

It seems that she doesn't understand it very well, so the girl is also frowning and thinking.

"Actually, I got lost at the beginning. I almost walked into the sphere of influence of the Russian adult religion in a daze. If it weren't for some kind necromancer, I might have been captured by the Russian adult religion, right?"

"Necromancer?"

"Well, I heard that she was also a magician who was taken care of by a 'mercenary', and now she is planning to go to China to find something. Because her spells incorporate a lot of Chinese things, it seems that she is planning to go south ?”

"Well, it sounds like that 'mercenary' is indeed a very important existence in your world. So back to the topic, why do those 'bad gold' hunt you down? What does it have to do with you being a nun of the Puritan Church in England? Is it? Like anti-church or something? Did you just mention Russia, Rome or something?"

Because of the "sympathy for each other" in a certain sense, Kamijou Touma chooses to temporarily assume that what Index said is the truth to carry on the dialogue.

Seeing that Kamijou Touma's tone seemed to believe in magic, Index's tone of explanation was also a little lighter.

"Yes, the three major churches are actually competing secretly. If I were captured by them, it would probably cause a lot of chaos."

"Are you such an important person? Or are you really that British Puritan saint?"

"No, in fact, there are only things like 'Holy Maiden' in France. The reason why I will be hunted down is because I am a 'Catalogue of Forbidden Books'."

"That's not your name, is it? Or, that's where your name comes from?"

Nodding his head, it seemed strange that he didn't care about his name at all.

"It's like this. I am the 'Forbidden Book Catalog' that holds [-] grimoires. If I can be caught, with the ability of a magician of the 'golden' lineage, I'm afraid it will be easy to extract what you need." Grimoire', right?"

"One hundred and three thousand copies? Wait a minute, don't you say you memorized them all?"

"Yes. Although it is difficult to understand, what I say is true."

"Whatever, I even believe in magic, I don't care about such things anymore."

Waving his hands in despair, Kamijou Touma turned his head and noticed the alarm clock on the table that looked like eight o'clock.

Suddenly, as if thinking of something, Kamijou Touma's face changed drastically.

"Ruined!!!!!"

He ran to get his phone in a hurry, wanting to call first to explain why he was late.
