"It's just a small matter, why thank me? Besides, I need to level up myself, and bringing more people won't share my experience. So what is your advancement mission?"

Before reaching Legend, players will not have any bottlenecks in their realms, and as long as you have enough experience, you can keep breaking through. However, while enjoying the convenience brought by the system, you will also be restricted by the system.

That is to say, no matter how high your talent is, no matter how good your opportunity is, as long as you do not complete the advanced tasks, your level will not be able to continue to increase. It is equivalent to replacing the realm bottleneck with the advanced tasks.

"It's official certification. When we get to Academy City, the first process is to let the tree diagram designer assess the qualities of the newly recruited students. Those with high scores will be trained, and those with low scores will be let alone. The second process is a physical examination, and the third process is an ability test. As long as I am judged to be level 2 or above in the ability test, I will have completed the advanced task. Then the official will assign students to different schools based on the results of each test." The Hedgehog Head explained.

"You are level 1 now, but if you are judged to be level 3 in the ability test, then do you not need to do any advanced tasks to upgrade from level to level ?" Rhine thought that he was already comparable to the great witch, so as long as he got the "official" recognition from the Magic Integration Association, would he not have to do any job transfer tasks in the future?

"I don't know. It shouldn't be possible, right? Otherwise, what's the point of setting up this advanced task? Wouldn't the experience storage slot function be useless?"

"Oh, yes, there is also an experience storage slot." Rhine thought that if there were no advanced tasks, there would be no experience storage slot, so how could he level up?

"But I'm a rough stone, a person with natural abilities. I don't know how the people in Academy City will arrange me." The hedgehog-headed man was a little worried. After all, the essence of Academy City is a research institution.

"They should examine you, study you, and experiment on you. If they find that they can't get anything useful out of you, they will stop caring about you."

"Forget it. As long as he doesn't touch my bottom line, I'll just put up with him for now." The hedgehog thought about it and found that he was too weak now and was not qualified to negotiate with others.

"By the way, if someone wants Misaka Mikoto to get her DNA, what would you do? Would you stop her or go along with the development of the plot?" Rhine thought of the time when Misaka Mikoto was cheated of her DNA when she was a child.

"Although I also want to have 20,000 Misaka sisters, for Mikoto's sake I'd better not let the following plot happen. So I have repeatedly warned Mikoto that if anyone comes to her for blood or hair, she must tell me first. I promise not to beat that person to death."

Although this would disrupt the subsequent plot development, the hedgehog head still decided to intervene in the plot. In the three years of living with Mikoto, he has regarded Mikoto as his own family. Although he is not like Rhine in raising a daughter, he also takes care of Mikoto as a sister. So he does not want Mikoto to feel desperate because of Misaka's sister, so he can only solve the problem from the root.

The Academy City was surrounded by huge high walls and was closely guarded by the security team. Satellites were constantly monitoring the interior and exterior of the city, checking for suspicious people. There were passages on the tall outer walls like the Great Wall, with cylindrical security robots traveling through them. Once an abnormality was detected, they would immediately call for air fire support. The interior of the academy was filled with Aleister's hovering loops to monitor the entire city.

If you want to enter Academy City, you must pass through a huge gate. When passing through the entrance gate of Academy City, in addition to the pass issued by Academy City, you must also check the ID registered in the database of Academy City. Because the checkpoint gates on the outer wall have heat source sensors and magnetic perspective devices, it is impossible to try to get through by cheating. Suspicious people who are inconsistent with the gate records will be arrested by security guards or discipline committee members who maintain public order.

Under such strict security, any criminals who want to sneak into Academy City and cause damage will never succeed. It can be said that Academy City is the safest city in the world.

When passing through the entrance gate, everyone had to get off the bus for inspection. After a series of troublesome steps such as metal detectors, X-ray scans, iris scans, facial recognition, fingerprint and voiceprint registration, etc., they walked into the high wall through the internal passage under the guidance of the teacher. When they came out of the checkpoint, the school bus was already waiting. The whole process was a bit like taking a cross-border bus, but Academy City was indeed a country within a country.

Because Rhine was in spirit mode, he was not examined like them. Not to mention the heat-sensing machine, even if Aleister himself came, he would not be able to be found.

"Is this Academy City?" Rhine sighed as he looked at the city full of skyscrapers and a sci-fi feel. If he didn't have a problem at home waiting for him to solve, he would definitely take a good look around this city that is admired by countless two-dimensional people and have a real pilgrimage.

"Endymion hasn't started construction yet." Unlike Rhine who was just taking a sightseeing attitude, Hedgehog Head had already started planning everything about the future in his mind.

"What are you going to do next?"

"Of course, the bigger the commotion during the ability test, the better. I want the tree diagram designer to determine that I have the qualities to become an absolute esper, and show enough potential to interest Aleister. Only in this way can I do whatever I want in Academy City in the next ten years."

"Are you crazy? You face the final BOSS as soon as you get here? Didn't I tell you to be low-key, low-key, and low-key again?" Rhine was puzzled as to why Hedgehog Head took the initiative to expose himself and arouse the interest of the Hanged Man. Shouldn't he keep a low profile at this time?

"I've thought about it. No matter how hard I try, can I grow to the point where I can arm wrestle with Aleister in the next ten years?"

"No way? It's very difficult." The hedgehog-head spread his hands helplessly. After all, Aleister was a werewolf who could even kill demons.

Given a few decades or hundreds of years, he has the confidence to grow to the point where he can be on par with Aleister, but in a dozen years... at best he would be at the god level.

But for Aleister, let alone a lv6 god, even a lv7 god is not worth mentioning in his eyes.

"I'll have to deal with Aleister sooner or later anyway, so why not show your worth from the start? That way I can get more benefits from him."

"It's easy to see the King of Hell, but it's hard to deal with the little devils. Even if Aleister is interested in me, he is only interested. He will not interfere with my growth, let alone attack me. But the Anbu, the General Council, the Kihara Family, and various large and small research institutions are not necessarily the same. If I can get Aleister's help, then these little devils will no longer be a problem."

"Whether it's for Mikoto or Meiling, I need the power to ensure their safety. I will never let the Unified Council hunt Meiling down like in the original book."

"So, my good brother, will you go with me to see Aleister?"

Chapter 127 Fishing and Catching Aleister

"Kouta!! Where have you been? Kota!!!"

Just as Hedgehog Head and Rhine were standing by the guardrail and looking down at this technologically advanced city, a childish voice was heard from behind them. From the trembling and crying in the voice, it was clear that the owner of the voice was very anxious at the moment.

"Your sister is looking for you." Rhine turned around and found that the little cannon sister who came out of the exit was anxiously looking for Hedgehog Head.

"Here I am." Hedgehog Head shouted to Miss Pao and waved.

Looking at Misaka Mikoto running towards him with small steps, Rhine was a little jealous: "I'm not envious, my Irena is also very cute."

"Why didn't you wait for me when you came out! Mom said that we should act together in the future! Hao Tai is so naughty!" Misaka Mikoto panted and touched the hedgehog's head and scolded.

"Hahahaha, it seems you're used to your brother's role-playing."

"Mikoto's desire to be a big sister is too strong. Whether I like it or not, she always regards herself as a big sister and often uses her identity as a big sister to educate me." The hedgehog-haired man spread his hands.

"Look at this adorable face! Look at this soft and adorable personality! Look at how mature this little adult is! How can you bear to make her sad? It's just like being a little brother, as long as she is happy."

"I understand, but my Irena is becoming more and more like a younger sister. Will she soon forget that she is older than me?" Perhaps it was because of Rhine's over-indulgence, or perhaps it was because of Rhine's "omnipotence", Irena's dependence on him was like a sister's dependence on a brother, and she had not suppressed him as a sister for a long time.

"I'm here to enjoy the scenery. Look, this is where we're going to live in the future."

"Wow! So beautiful!" Mikoto's eyes were full of stars.

"Misaka Mikoto! Misaka Kouta! Come and gather. After everyone has passed the security check, we will leave for the 13th school district." The woman in a suit and wearing sunglasses shouted to the two of them.

"Okay, teacher, we'll be there soon." Mikoto waved to the suit girl to let her know. Then she took the hedgehog-head's hand, fearing that he would run around again. At the same time, she gave him a profound lecture, such as not to run around alone in unfamiliar places and to listen to his sister when he was outside. She looked like a little adult, so cute.

The hedgehog-headed boy listened obediently to Mikoto's instructions and nodded from time to time.

Looking at this heartwarming scene, Rhine seemed to know why Hedgehog Head suddenly became so reckless. It was all for his family.

Academy City is definitely not a peaceful and beautiful place. In the shadows where the sun doesn't shine, there is disgusting filth. If the hedgehog head doesn't stand up, then those large and small research institutions will target Mikoto, who is judged to have LV5 qualities.

Even if he carefully protected Mikoto, it would be easy for someone to get Mikoto's DNA, so he changed his strategy and decided to take the initiative.

The schools in the 13th District are mainly kindergartens and elementary schools. This area is located in the outermost layer of the southwest corner of the Academy City. Because the Academy City recruits a large number of students from outside every year, an entrance and exit is specially set up not far from the th District.

Less than twenty minutes later, the school bus arrived at the destination of this journey, the ability development experimental base in District 13.

Under the guidance of the staff, the children of different ages were divided into different teams, and then led by the staff to a huge venue full of mechanical equipment. During this time, Mikoto held the hedgehog-head's hand tightly, fearing that she would be separated from him.

"Children, you just need to stand in front of this instrument." A bespectacled man in a white coat kindly explained the precautions of the inspection to the children.

"Next, little Misaka Mikoto."

"Go ahead, I'll watch you here, I won't run away." The hedgehog-head encouraged Misaka Mikoto.

"Well, don't run around! I'll spank you if I can't find you," Mikoto warned before they separated.

"I know, I know, go ahead."

"Your sister really cares about you." Rhine complained.

"How about it, are you envious? We are biological children, and this kind of blood-related bond is something you can't experience!"

"You would cry your heart out if your sister got married." Rhine thought of how his uncle cried when they parted, and how he said he would marry Irena to him in order to prevent her from leaving. He felt ashamed.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"It's level 5. The judgment given by the tree diagram designer is level 5!!!" Just as Rhine and Hedgehog Head were arguing, a riot seemed to break out among the researchers, and everyone gathered around.

"It seems that Mikoto has been judged as level 5 as in the original book. I just don't know what the basis of the tree diagram's judgment is. I hope you can find a way to raise your judgment to level 6." Rhine folded his arms and said coldly to a group of excited white coats.

Level 5 accomplishments can make a sensation in Academy City, but they are not enough to attract Aleister's attention. Even level 6 is not necessary for Aleister to care about.

"Don't worry, I've already thought about it." The Hedgehog-headed man said confidently.

After the commotion, the test continued. However, a group of people had surrounded Misaka Mikoto, and she had become the highest level of protection in the base. If she hadn't insisted on staying with Hedgehog Head, she would have been taken away alone.

Thanks to Michin, the staff let Hedgehog Head cut in line and let him take the test first.

When the instrument was scanning his body, Hedgehog Head activated his light ability. Because Hedgehog Head was a rough stone, the tree diagram designer could not determine his literacy level, so an abnormality appeared on the display. His literacy level jumped from lv2 to lv3, then to 4, and finally to 5.

Just when everyone was concerned again, the judgment level jumped to 4, 3, and 2. When everyone was disappointed, the judgment level began to rise again, and it changed back and forth between 2345.

"Sure enough, there is still a limit to my ability." The hedgehog sighed. If he was just a simple time traveler, then "natural ability user" would be his golden finger, and level 5 should be his growth limit. This is also in line with the standard configuration of most protagonists in fan fictions that travel to the world of Magical Index. The difference is that he is not a time traveler, but a player.

The Hedgehog Head activated his Golden Finger Star Creation Map, and a mysterious power enveloped his whole body. This is a power that is enough to distort the laws of the universe. Even in the small garden world, it is enough to stand out from the crowd.

On the display screen connected to the testing instrument, the Hedgehog Head's quality assessment jumped from 5 to 6, then from 6 to 7, and after staying at 7 for a while, it suddenly jumped to 8.

Just when everyone was wondering if the instrument was broken, it really was broken. To be exact, the tree diagram designer crashed, which caused all the instruments in Academy City that were connected to the tree diagram designer to crash, paralyzing most of Academy City's systems. (For example, the transportation system, drainage system, cashier system, etc. were all connected to the tree diagram designer.)

The sudden change also caught the researchers of Academy City off guard. You have to know that the tree diagram designer is not an ordinary computer, but the world's most powerful supercomputer. It is impossible for it to crash.

At this moment, the Tree Diagram Designer Information Sending and Receiving Center located in the 23rd School District was in chaos.

The crash, which often happens on ordinary computers, actually happened to the supercomputer. If an ordinary computer crashes, you can just force a restart, but if the tree diagram designer crashes, the forced restart method will not work.

Because the host of this supercomputer is on the artificial satellite "Vega 1", that is, in outer space. No matter how the ground sends the restart command, the tree diagram designer just does not respond.

On the other side, in the windowless building, a landmark building in the center of Academy City, a long-haired man hanging upside down and soaked in an unknown liquid opened his eyes.

For some reason, both Hedgehog Head and Rhine had their hair standing on end at the same time. Even though Rhine was in spirit mode at the moment, he still felt frightened.

(There should be another update later, please recommend and vote for me.)

Chapter 128: Join Aleister?

"Do you feel it... the feeling of being stared at by the abyss?" The hedgehog asked Rhine with some stuttering.

"Hmm... I think it must be Aleister who took the bait." Although it was only for a moment, Rhine did feel the insignificance and powerlessness when facing the endless abyss.

"How come you took the bait so quickly? This is just the first step, right?" The Hedgehog Head himself didn't expect that he would attract Aleister's attention just by releasing the simulated star creation map.

"I've already told you that the upper limit of the simulated Star Creation Chart is extremely high. According to the narration in "Problem Children Are From Another World", the Star Creation Chart can destroy the universe if it is released outside the Little Garden. Even in the infinite and multidimensional Little Garden world, it can be ranked in the double digits. It would be strange if Aleister was still indifferent."

Although the game officials have not yet opened up realms above the Divine Realm, players can infer from the existing conditions, such as the basic elements of legend versus country, Divine Realm versus land, and Divine Realm versus stars, that lv8 is most likely the universe.

The posts about battle power comparison in the forum have always been popular, and the intensity of the debate is no less than that of the battle power comparison posts on the Internet. People on the Internet debate because they like a certain character and don't want to see their favorite character not as good as others. But the reason why players debate is not because they are fans of the characters, but because they can really encounter those "monsters" in the anime.

Especially for some plot NPCs with extremely terrifying combat power, if you don't get a little information about the opponent, you may not even know how they died. Therefore, players will not deliberately belittle the characters when arguing, but try their best to speculate the ability and combat power of a certain character to the greatest extent.

As the combat power ceiling of Magical Index, the Demon God will naturally be used as a unit of measurement by players.

Although judging from the data and performance in all aspects, the Demon in Toaru Majutsu no Index is undoubtedly at the super single-unit level. After all, the arrival of his real body alone can destroy the universe. Therefore, most players tend to position the Demon at the lv8 limit (single-unit universe limit) or half a step to lv9 (super single-unit).

However, no matter how big the controversy is, it is certain that the demon cannot reach lv9. After all, the world of Toaru Majutsu no Index is just a high-energy world, and players have tacitly reserved lv9 for the strong in the super-power world.

Since lv8 is all about the universe, then lv9 must be stacking boxes. The weakest strong people in this world all start at the multiverse, and a random fight will cause the universe to collapse and the avenue to be wiped out. What's more, there are super multiverses, infinite multiverses and other nesting doll settings above multiverse, but no matter how many boxes are stacked or how many dolls are nested, players uniformly call the box stacking stage lv9.

As for lv10, it is still to be determined, because no one dares to guess, and it is hard to say for sure. After all, the strongest person in the entire game is only at the peak of Legend. Asking a group of lv3 and lv4 to guess lv10 is like asking ants to guess how big a whale is. They may not even be as good as ants, but just bacteria on the ants.

Therefore, no matter how fiercely the players argue, it doesn’t make much sense. Everything is subject to the official settings.

"Oh no, Aleister won't think I'm the reincarnation of the demon god and kill me, right?" The hedgehog-headed man said worriedly. With Aleister's hatred for the demon god, it's not impossible that he would slap him to death if he misunderstood.

"It's okay. If all else fails, just tell him about your ability. Tell him that you can kill the concept of magic. Doesn't the Hanged Man want to eliminate all magic in the world? Then your ability can help him achieve his goal."

"Look at how much he loves Touma. He treats him like the apple of his eye. Maybe you can enjoy the same treatment," Rhine consoled him.

"No, there's no way I can create magic that kills the world." The hedgehog shook his head. To Xing, that is something that can only be achieved after reaching the seventh level of divine realm, and he is only at the first level now.

"The point is not whether you can do it or not, but whether he thinks you can do it or not. Believe me, if you can seize the opportunity and become the beloved one of the Hanged Man, then the whole Academy City will be yours to rule. Anyway, with the Hanged Man's personality that only cares about the results and not the process, if you can really help him achieve his goal, he won't care about you even if you tear down Academy City, and he won't even frown."

"Don't you have a main mission to be the acting chairman of the Academy City Council? As long as you seize this opportunity, it is not impossible for you to rise to the top in one step."

"After hearing what you said, I am really a little tempted, but isn't this considered a violation?" After all, if it is really as Rhine said, then this main task will be completed too easily, right? It is basically given for free.

"Not really. The fact that you were able to convince Aleister is also a skill of yours. And don't you know that talking nonsense is also a way of fighting? The most important thing is that I am here. If I say you are not breaking the rules, then you are not breaking the rules."

"Okay, I'll trust you this time. But how can I talk back to Aleister? How about I acknowledge him as my godfather?"

"I suggest that you start a live broadcast when you meet with Aleister and invite the majority of players to give you advice. It's much better than just the two of us."

"No, I feel like they'll just make trouble and do more harm than good." Hedgehog Head knew the habits of that group of idiots too well. Most of them were there just to watch the fun.

"Then I'll start the live broadcast, and then I'll tell you my constructive suggestions through the team voice." Rhine wanted to earn some money for gifts by then. After all, as one of the big bosses in Toaru Majutsu no Index, it's not easy to meet Aleister.

"You can have this."

Just as the two were discussing what to say during the meeting with Aleister, the test ended. Because the tree diagram designer collapsed, most of the test equipment had abnormalities, so the test was suspended and the remaining tests would be carried out after the tree diagram designer returned to normal.

As Hedgehog Head and Mikoto were judged to be of level 5 quality, they were arranged by the staff to stay in the most luxurious room. This is a privileged treatment.

"I'm ready to go to your world anytime."

"One minute later." Rhine, who was smiling just now, immediately put on a serious expression.

"What's wrong?" The hedgehog-headed man also noticed Rhine's changes and asked with concern.

"The Lord God is ready, I have to go back. If Aleister comes looking for you during this time, I may not be able to help you." Because he had not expected to confront Aleister before, he had made an appointment with the Lord God directly, and it would obviously be inappropriate to stand him up now.

"It's okay, go ahead, your business is more important. Besides, if he wanted to find me, he would have come over the moment he noticed me. He hasn't found me yet, so I guess he's observing me. Maybe he hasn't found me by the time you're done with your work."
