"By the way, please call Juchang over to me. I have something to tell him."

……

Time passed quickly.

The lights in Haramura Makoto's office were on from the first half of the night to the second half of the night.

Things that have been accumulating for seven months cannot be dealt with quickly even if one is very efficient.

"Boss, it's already late today, do you want to rest here?"

"I have someone clean your room every day."

Komaba Toshinori is very tall and strong, but at this moment he really looks like a secretary, standing respectfully next to Haramura Makoto with a pile of documents in his hands, giving people a strong sense of contrast.

"Is it two o'clock already?"

Haramura Makoto also raised his head, glanced at the clock on the wall, and was ready to agree.

but……

The next second.

"Never mind, I remember I have other things to do."

"I'd better go back and rest."

Haramura Makoto's eyes became empty, and a bright light flashed in the slightly opened slits.

Along with the connection of the pitch-black gap, Haramura Makoto, who was still in the office the moment before, appeared on the street outside the next moment.

But then, Haramura Makoto showed no intention of leaving.

Instead, he just stood there, as if he was waiting for someone.

Another short while passed.

Suddenly, his tightly closed eyes slowly opened, his expression was stern, and there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.

The space in front of him fluctuated, and a figure suddenly appeared in front of him.

Spatial movement ability.

Haramura Makoto's eyes became sharp.

Such spatial ability is a sign.

Because in Academy City, if a user with space abilities wants to be able to transfer humans over long distances, they need to be at least level 4, a user with great abilities.

Coincidentally, he had once seen the "library" of Academy City by chance.

It contains information about all the people with special abilities in Academy City.

For him at that time, it was a very troublesome and interesting space ability user, so he read it carefully.

The person in front of me is a young girl, probably around high school age, with a pretty face.

Her red hair was tied into two ponytails at the back of her head, and she wore a winter uniform on her shoulders. Her upper body was almost naked, except for her chest which was wrapped in circles of bandages. Her lower body was wearing a miniskirt that barely covered her hips, and she had a decorative belt hanging around her waist.

Sure.

Although the girl in the library was not wearing such revealing clothes, her face and abilities clearly showed that she was that woman.

"Kirigaoka Girls' Academy, Aoki Yuzuki?"

"Or is it the 'guide' in the urban legend?"

A playful smile appeared on the corner of Haramura Makoto's mouth, and his sharp eyes looked up and down at the woman in front of him.

It seemed that Haramura Makoto's gaze was too explicit, causing a hint of anger to appear on the face of the woman named Aoki Yuzumi.

Her right hand was naturally placed behind her mini skirt.

"'Showman', there is an important person who wants to see you."

Aoki Yuzumi spoke in a low voice while staring intently at Haramura Makoto.

Looking at her tense muscles and her expression ready to strike, it seemed as if she would take action if Haramura Makoto refused.

"I'm here just to wait for you, let's go."

"I'm also interested in the person behind you."

Haramura Makoto took a small step forward and came directly to the side of Aoki Yuuki. Aoki Yuuki's body paused slightly, then she unnoticedly let go of the military flashlight on her waist and put her hand on Haramura Makoto's shoulder.

The next moment, the two of them disappeared on the dark road.

……

Urban legend!

It is a folk legend similar to a monster that exists in this technologically advanced world and is passed on by word of mouth among students.

However, most people think that so-called urban legends are just a joke.

Only a few people who are extremely curious and have deep fetishes in this area will firmly believe in such strange stories.

However, Haramura Makoto is different.

As someone who controls part of the underground forces in Academy City, he knows very well that these urban legends are definitely not groundless.

Many things have traces to follow.

Just like him, he had personally witnessed the Imagine Breaker who had the power to eliminate everything.

Although it sounds outrageous, when the man raised his right hand, he did cancel out the super powers of the person with the ability to generate fire and the person with the ability to generate electricity.

As for this woman in front of him, when he was in the library, he had connected this woman with one of the strange stories through his imagination.

——『A building without windows』

This is a building located in the seventh school district.

Although this building is not the largest in Academy City, it is definitely the most peculiar.

Just like its name.

This is a building without windows, doors or stairs. It seems like the inside and outside are two completely isolated worlds. One cannot go out from the inside, nor can one enter the building from the outside.

Almost all the students in Academy City have visited this building.

That is why there is an urban legend about this kind of building.

There is a very special person in this building. When he wants to meet someone, a 'guide' will find you and take you into the building.

This is an easy inference.

The abilities of the people with special abilities in Academy City are indeed varied and varied.

But if you want to enter a building without windows or doors like this, spatial ability is undoubtedly the most convenient.

However, currently, the only person in the entire Academy City who can do this is a Level 4 powerful ability user.

By associating them together in this way, we can get the answer.

"Your ability is pretty good, but why do you hesitate for so long every time you move?"

Makoto Haramura did not feel any discomfort during the continuous space movement.

The surrounding environment was very dim. Under my feet was the floor full of crisscrossing mechanical circuits, and the same was true above my head.

The light in this space was dim, with only a faint glow somewhere in the center.

That's right, he is now inside the building without windows and doors.

However, Atsuki Yuuki, who was following Haramura Makoto, did not respond to Haramura Makoto's words. She let go of her hand on Haramura Makoto's shoulder with a pale face, and used her ability to leave here directly.

Haramura Makoto did not stand there anymore, but walked towards the light source.

Then he saw it.

There are cables and instruments all around.

In front of us is a test tube like a pillar, filled with red liquid.

Haramura Makoto stared at the existence in the test tube.

It was a person wearing a green surgical gown, suspended in an upside-down position in red liquid.

"..."

Looking at this person, Haramura Makoto couldn't help but fall into silence.

It wasn't because of the gender of the person in front of him that caused him to suffer cognitive impairment.

In fact, he didn't care what the person's gender was.

What made him fall silent was the incredible pressure he felt.

It had been a long time since he began to awaken his own power, a tremor in his soul that he hadn't felt for a long time.

There is a huge gap in strength between myself and the being in front of me.

If I really take action, I will be defeated in an instant.

(Shiroyasha, is this the magician you mentioned, hiding in this city?)

The answer is already there.

Before he met this man, he had thought that perhaps the person who existed in this building and was being led by the rumored 'guide' might be a high-ranking official in Academy City.

But when he met this man, he could be sure that this man could not be anyone else.

This man could only be the powerful magician that Shiroyasha had spoken of.

After all, there couldn't be anyone stronger than him in this academy right now.

Even the strongest psychic in Academy City would not be taken seriously by him.

(That’s him, no doubt.)

Shiroyashā's voice also sounded in Haramura Makoto's mind at the same time.

Or it should be said that ever since Haramura Makoto said he wanted to expose himself, Shiroyasha has never disconnected from Haramura Makoto and has always remained vigilant.

After all, once that magician finds Haramura Makoto and tries to harm him, she needs to transfer Haramura Makoto to this world as soon as possible.

(Then I'll trouble you from now on.)

Haramura Makoto's eyes flickered, and he circulated his magic power throughout his body to stabilize his slightly uneasy emotions.

He is very clear.

Now that I have made this choice, the next step is to take a gamble.

"You want to see me?"

He took a step forward from the shadows, exposing himself completely to the sight of the man in green.

"Yeah, that's right."

The green-dressed man answered in a very calm voice, a calmness that contained no emotion.

All Haramura Makoto could feel was extreme indifference. He didn't care about anything at all and was completely indifferent.

"It seems like you don't know me."

"In that case, I still need to introduce myself."

The man in green was still talking to himself.

Of course, his eyes were still fixed on Haramura Makoto and did not move away.

"Aleister Crowley!"

"If I must tell you my identity, I am the founder of this Academy City and the chairman of the Academy City General Council."

Shocked, quite shocked.

I believe this is true not only for Haramura Makoto, but also for other people.

Basically everyone living in this city knows that the highest leader of this city is the Unified Council.

They are in charge of various cutting-edge technological fields in Academy City.

Their status in the world is very important, and the students in Academy City all know them.

After all, these characters have appeared on TV many times.
