On how PhDs become human evil

Britain really does need a power that truly belongs to it.

Section 564, page 61: Kobayashi Mika sings so well!

In Buckingham Palace, England, Kelissa walks down a corridor in a long red dress.

"How's the excavation of King Kattina I going?"

"It has been unearthed and entrusted to a trustworthy mage for transport here. It should arrive in about half an hour."

The blond man following Kelissa said this.

The man was about thirty-five or thirty-six years old, and he seemed to be deliberately dressed to look younger. His blond hair was neatly combed, he had a handsome face, wore a suit, and walked with his head held high and chest out. His demeanor was quite elegant, making one feel as if he were a prince from somewhere.

In reality, he was the Grand Master of the Knights of England, leading one of the three major factions, the Knights, and was also Kellysa's first subordinate.

"But is this really a good idea, Your Highness Kellysa?"

What do you mean?

"Hand over King Katina I to Her Majesty the Queen. As originally planned..."

"So I have already said that the original plan was to abolish it. Britain no longer needs that kind of method. Cardinal I will replace Cardinal II as Britain's other trump card."

".....I see."

Looking at Kellysa walking in front of him, the Knight Commander sensed that she had undergone a slight change.

Two months ago, during the angel fall that swept the world, Kellysa was swapped with someone, and even after the angel fall ended, she was transferred to a different location and disappeared for a period of time. Although she has now returned, Kellysa seems somewhat different from before, most notably in her attitude.

Kelissa, who is usually free-spirited and outspoken, has now greatly increased her feminine side and has even started to care about cosmetics and clothing.

(Is this the effect of marriage?)

The Knight Commander couldn't help but think of the man the Queen had mentioned who was Kellysa's husband.

"We've arrived."

Kellysa stopped in front of a large door. Just as she was about to push it open, her hand on the doorknob, she heard something from inside that infuriated her.

"Please don't get so close to the Commander!"

"What does it matter? I just wanted to catch up with my brother-in-law."

"Is it necessary to use such affectionate eyes to communicate feelings?"

“This is a unique way of communicating in Britain, isn’t it, Livian?”

"Sister Wang...you've changed."

"No matter what, please get off me, okay?"

"Sure, but you have to kiss me first."

"Shameless woman! Misaka, shock her with 100,000 volts!"

"I'm not Pikachu!"

"What's going on here, leaving me, the Queen of England, out here chatting on my own?!"

......

"boom!"

Kellysa kicked open the ornately decorated door, and the scene inside the room immediately came into her view.

Bai Jie sat on the sofa, his elder sister Limeel nestled close to him, while on the other side, Qiong held his other arm. Behind Bai Jie, Livian stood awkwardly, seemingly unsure whether to join in. On another sofa, Queen Elizabeth II, carrying Queen Katina II, had just stood up. Not far away, Misaka Mikoto seemed to have no intention of getting involved, sitting at a distance.

Kellysa felt her hair had turned green.

The loud noise from the doorway drew everyone's attention. Looking at Kellysa, who stood angrily in the doorway, Limeel smiled maliciously, then lifted Bai Jie's chin: "Let's continue our previous conversation. If you want me to leave, just kiss me on the cheek."

"You really have guts to steal a man right in front of me, Sister Wang."

Before Bai Jie could speak, Kellysa rushed over, grabbed Bai Jie from Limeel's arms, and hugged Bai Jie's hands along with Enterprise.

Seeing this, Limeel laughed and said, "I'm testing his willpower as a man for you. Men are creatures who can't control their lower bodies. What if he cheats on you after marriage?"

"You don't need to worry about that, Sister Wang. My husband has been cheating on me for a long time."

Kellysa's words made Bai Jie's face darken: "Hey, at least give me some face. What do you mean by 'already cheated'? I was forced to cheat, okay?"

"Anyway, you cheated on me."

"Having something with your own wife doesn't count as cheating!" Bai Jie argued. "Besides, why are you so nervous? Do you really think I would be interested in a woman with a gloomy personality like Limeel? Even if I were interested in someone, I would be interested in someone like Livian who is cute, obedient, and well-behaved."

Limeel felt looked down upon, while Livian, standing behind her, blushed.

Hearing Bai Jie say this, Kellysa frowned: "So you're planning to make a move against Livian?"

"Give me an example! Give me an example, okay?"

"I know, I was just kidding."

"You—you're finished tonight! If you can't even get out of bed tomorrow, I'll change my name!"

"Then come on! Tonight I have dozens of lingerie in my closet, let's see how many you can ruin!"

Seeing that the two had started making inappropriate remarks and were driving at a dangerous speed, Misaka Mikoto, who was still rational, hurriedly shouted, "What are you two saying in front of a middle school student like me! Stop driving!"

The others, however, all had the same thought as they looked at the two of them.

This couple seems to have quite a vibrant nightlife.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Elishad coughed twice to ease the awkwardness of the situation.

"Alright, alright, let's put this farce to an end. We can talk about your little couple's business tonight. Now, let's get down to business. Kellysa, you were the one who suggested this meeting. Explain what happened. If it's not a big deal, I'll take Limeel and Livian tonight to watch you get bullied."

In a sense, this Queen of England is truly remarkable.

Ignoring her mother's harassment, Kellysa said, "I have gathered you here for a reason—Kathina I has been found."

"""What did you say!?!?"""

Elisabeth, Limeel, and Livia exclaimed in unison, their voices filled with shock. The fact that the Queen and Princess of England were so shocked proved that this "Katina I" was indeed an item of considerable significance.

As a complete novice in magic, Misaka Mikoto asked Bai Jie, "What is that Katina I? Is it a very powerful weapon?"

“Kathina I... that’s quite a remarkable thing.”

P.S.: I watched Kobayashi Mika's live stream on Bilibili at 7 o'clock sharp, it was so damn good!

Section 565, paragraph 62. Katina I and II

Katina.

This name is one that you learn even in textbooks.

It is a ceremonial sword used during the coronation of the British King or Queen. It exists as the highest-level national treasure of the United Kingdom. It has no tip and the blade is not sharp at all. It is just a prop used in ceremonies. For this reason, it is also regarded as a symbol of mercy. It is a sword that will not kill enemies, and is therefore known as the Sword of Compassion.

In fact, the sword that Elishad is holding now is Katina.

To the average citizen, the Katina is merely a national treasure, a ceremonial sword used in coronation ceremonies.

However, in the magical world, this sword has a completely different meaning.

Because whoever wields this sword will be able to obtain power equal to and of the same nature as that of Michael the God-like.

The reason is simple.

The Cardina is the highest-ranking spirit item in the UK.

To protect the united kingdom of four cultures, including England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, the Katina exists as a magical artifact that governs rules that only exist within England, and is given immense power to protect the United Kingdom.

This so-called rule refers to the fact that the United Kingdom has an independent form of Christianity known as Anglicanism.

This is a rule established in the 15th century by Henry VIII to ensure that the politics of his country would not be interfered with by other countries.

Therefore, in order to avoid external influences, two rules were established: the country was absolutely immune to any external forces and the king was the supreme authority of English Puritanism, and the English king was not required to obey the orders of the Pope.

Therefore, in order to demonstrate his greater greatness than the Pope, Henry VIII positioned himself as the Archangel, and the knights who followed him as the Angels, thus leading the people of England.

This is not just something we say.

To achieve this, Henry VIII established the institution using the four kingdoms of England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland in the 15th century.

Since four is the number representing the earth, if a map is made using countries as the basis, then it can create the magical meaning of a whole England comprised of four countries.

In other words, Henry VIII used the four continents of England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland as materials to construct the largest magic circle in the world, which consisted of the entire continent of Britain. He used the whole of Britain as a magic ritual to summon the power of the god-like Michael.

The medium through which this power is used is Katina.

The King of England who possesses the Cardina will correspond to the position of the Archangel, wielding power on par with Michael, and even positioning the Knights as an angelic army under the command of the Archangel, capable of distributing angelic power to all knights to protect the entire British continent.

—That concludes Bai Jie's explanation of Misaka Mikoto.

After hearing Bai Jie's explanation, Misaka Mikoto's gaze towards the sword in Elishad's hand couldn't help but carry a hint of awe; it was a sword that symbolized the status of a nation's ruler.

Noticing Misaka Mikoto's gaze, Elishad laughed and said, "There's no need to look at this sword with such respect. In the end, this sword is just a replica. It's the Katina II. The real Katina I was lost long ago."

Lost?

“That’s right. The original Katina I, which first appeared in history, has been lost. This Katina II was hastily made to ensure the ceremony could proceed. Since it can be mass-produced, it’s not that precious. Even if it’s gone, we can make something like Katina III. Besides, this is a sword that can only exert its power within the British Isles. Outside of Britain, it’s just a piece of scrap metal.”

It's fortunate that it was the Queen of England who said this, otherwise she probably would have met with an accident long ago.

But since King Katina I has been lost, what did Kelissa mean by what she just said?

“I’ll ask you one more time, Kellysa,” Elishad said seriously, “have you really found King Katina I?”

Elizabeth had to take this issue seriously. If Katina I had truly resurfaced, then Katina II in her hands would become a ceremonial sword devoid of any power. After all, Katina I was the original symbol of England, and II was merely a replica.

When Elisad pressed for an answer, Kellysa nodded: "It has indeed been found and is on its way here. I reckon it won't be long before you can throw your second-generation weapon in the trash as scrap metal."

“But what a coincidence! The long-lost King Katina I has been found, and by you no less. Can I suspect that you deliberately went looking for him, Kelissa?” Limeel asked.

"Well, just like you said, I did send people to find King Katina I, and the result is as follows: King Katina I was successfully found."
