Editing review, starting from Natsuki Subaru shocking the world

"……Oops."

"What's wrong? My excavator seems to be making strange noises! I'm a layman in the construction of excavators. If you have replaced the pile, give it to me! Please check the drive unit of my excavator...!"

"No! It's not the excavator that's having problems! That's the sound of the air being slapped. Academy City's unmanned weapons are approaching!"

Kamijou involuntarily removed his finger from the trigger of the excavator.

The impact on my shoulder stopped, and the loud noise caused by the excavator also disappeared.

Even so, they could still hear a roar no less powerful than that of an excavator approaching. It was clearly from a different source than the excavator.

There were red and green flashes in the night sky, and Thor seemed to know "some details" about the visitor besides the light spots.

"I was discovered after all. There's nothing I can do. I'm a complete amateur in this area." Thor outside the video couldn't help but spread his hands when he saw this scene. From his point of view, he really couldn't find any way to make up for it.

This is Academy City's unmanned combat armor. Once it starts moving, it will crush all enemies. If you want to escape in this situation, it would be like dreaming.

The change in the situation and Thor's insistence on continuing made Touma unable to help but scold, and then he increased the output of the digging tool in his hand.

Immediately afterwards——

All I heard was a loud creaking sound.

This time, the excavator in Kamijou's hand really made a strange sound, which was the sound of hard metal cracking.

I originally thought that the same damage happened to the pile as the one on Thor.

But not so.

Clap!

Huge cracks appeared on the wall of the "windowless building".

It is larger and outside the large circle drawn with a thick red pen.

Destruction spread across the walls.

It was a square with a side length of more than ten meters.

As the cracks, which were clearly caused by human intervention, spread, the indestructible wall of the "computational impact diffusion composite material" was destroyed. Without support, the huge wall fell towards Kamijou.

"..."

Thor stared into the depths of the dust.

The hole opened by the "Algorithmic Impact Diffusive Composite Material" and the dark interior of the "windowless building".

There's someone in there.

who is it?

Someone's footsteps could be heard in front of Kamijou and Thor. It wasn't the hard sound of leather shoes or boots. It was more like the sound of pressing a palm against a glass table. The other person might be barefoot.

Someone's skin touched the dusty outside air.

The man walked outside.

She was very tall for a woman, almost two meters tall. Her ankle-length silver hair and her head lowered made it hard to see her expression. She was wearing a dress-like outfit made of thin synthetic fibers, but she didn't seem to care much about her appearance, because even though her underwear was clearly visible, her eyes didn't seem to care. Her white skin was similar to that of a teenage girl, but it was hard to tell what she was like.

There are always some fundamental differences between us and humans.

It's not that she has obvious horns or wings. Even if you ask her what's different, there's no clear answer. But there's something different that's hard to explain. If you see a teenage girl with that kind of shiny skin in a sauna, no one would find it weird, but if you find such a girl in an ancient pyramid, it would be a big problem. She doesn't look special, but you can feel that there is a clear gap with the atmosphere around her.

(Who is…?)

Kamijou pondered inwardly.

Then he wondered why he couldn't speak.

Later, he realized that this was like coming face to face with a carnivorous beast that had left its cage. Or, he didn't want to provoke the other party in an unknown situation...

(This person actually walked out of the "building without windows". Could this guy be... the leader of Academy City? Is he the chairman of the board...?)

However, Kamijou Touma's prediction came to nothing.

Thor forgot all about the ten to twenty minute time limit or the unmanned attack helicopter that was about to attack him. He just whispered blankly:

"F...Laurent Crowe...Iduni...?"

Followed by.

The person being addressed like this looked indifferently at Thor through the gap in his silver hair.

She tilted her head slightly, as if she was trying to digest some question.

then.

cough!

A strange sound came out of Thor's mouth, and then he fell to the ground along with the red and black liquid.

Under the stunned gaze of the spectators.

He fell slowly to the ground and passed out.

Chapter 162: The Immortal Woman

Touma grinned and looked at himself being blown away in the video.

Thor was looking at Kamijou's face. He had vomited blood just like Kamijou, but his symptoms seemed milder.

rAnd he revealed Froland's secret in an instant.

This is a woman with an immortal body.

Although the general concept of immortality exists in many worldviews.

But in this world of Magical Index, this is truly the first case of this kind.

"No... immortality!?" Misaka Mikoto couldn't help but type on the keyboard and ask in the world channel after hearing this word: "Is there really such a thing? This is immortality..."

As soon as this popular local heroine of Toaru Majutsu no Index appeared on the stage, comments in the editing room went crazy, bringing the news she inquired about to the forefront of all topics.

However, the biggest question is, is there any need to protect such an invincible existence?

But then, Thor in the video seemed to have predicted that many people would think that she did not need to be saved because of this physical advantage, and he couldn't help but ridicule and mock Kamijou Touma who had the same question.

"…Are you thinking that she doesn't need protection at all?"

“Because you are not the kind of weak person who inspires the desire to protect, you don’t need help? Because you didn’t explain the special past or situation, you don’t want to help? Because you are not cute enough to arouse empathy, you can’t help? Because you are not a friend who can have a happy chat and enhance the relationship, you won’t help? Hey, hey... Mr. Kamijou, you, Kamijou Touma, are you just this kind of creature?”

Now Flora didn't take anyone seriously at all, and after being scolded.

Kamijou Touma suddenly realized.

"If this is the reason we need to decide whether to save someone, then instead of worrying about it here, we should go make friends with Flora Chloe Donnie. This has nothing to do with whether she takes us seriously or not."

There is a lot to consider.

But as if to stop himself from thinking this, Kamijou’s eyes were drawn to the “windowless building”.

To be more precise, he was attracted by the huge hole in the indestructible armor and the darkness inside.

That's a temptation.

Kamijou didn't know what had tempted him, but there was "something" in that cave.

"Don't lose to desire."

Thunder God Sol said this while looking at the huge hole.

"…This is obviously a long detour, and it's completely off the route. I don't know what's inside, but it's definitely not something that will be exposed by simply destroying the outer wall. This kind of temptation is a trap. If you step into it carelessly, you will only be preyed upon."

"I know……"

At this stage, Kamijou and Thor have two paths to choose from.

In order to catch up with Flora Chloë Dune, look away from the "windowless building".

In order to explore the mysteries of Academy City, or the world in a larger sense, we aim to go inside the "windowless building".

Should I say... "Fortunately", they originally had a clear purpose.

"The top priority is Flora Chloe Dune, so hurry up and catch up with her."

"That's great. You won't become the poor victim in the legend."

The reason why Thor was relieved was probably not just because Kamijou was not swallowed by the "darkness".

If he were alone, he probably wouldn't have the confidence to overcome the temptation.

Even if I know that once I step in, it is almost equivalent to death, or that a more tragic end is waiting for me, it still makes me feel the same.

"…Where did Florent Cloydune go?"

"It's right where the explosions have been coming from."

"When will the Troublemakers and the Orelus forces take notice?"

"You'd be a fool if you didn't notice by now that things have changed."

There is only one thing, then, that must be done.

Find Flora Chloë Dune as soon as possible.

However, the seriousness of the situation seemed to be beyond their imagination.

Not long after, the video was filled with dazzling sirens and police cars.

In the middle of the film, the scenes are interspersed, and there are several scenes of Floran wandering around the Academy City.

How should I put it...I should say——

At this moment in the Naruto plane, Konoha Village.

"What a lovely girl." The old man Sandaime who said this made Tsunade so angry that she wanted to punch him.

However, Jiraiya, one of the three great ninjas, was very frank, saying about the child's interesting behavior: "He's actually making octopus balls. It seems that in that world, even things that require electric fire to burn are considered products of the technological side... It's ridiculous. If that's the case, these magic-side children must have been eating things cooked over charcoal since they were young. By the way, Orochimaru, do you like the world where even octopus balls are considered products of science?"

Today, since the editing of the Naruto plane ended, Konoha Village has welcomed back many high-end talents. Among them is Orochimaru, who has been exiled for a long time. Now he has restored his status and is working in Konoha Village.

But the relationship between the three old ninjas is still exactly the same as before.

Hearing the stupid Jiraiya bring up this topic, Orochimaru couldn't help but sneer:

"Idiot, this kind of thing is originally a product of the scientific side, and your focus is really foolish."

"Don't you realize that the real concern is that her skill and proficiency in making takoyaki is growing at a very abnormal rate?"

What this means is self-evident...the precision with which new things are handled has reached a level that is simply impossible for humans to reach.

As this part of the plot progresses, the story officially enters the search for Floran.

But the point everyone was discussing was the scene where Touma and Thor got beaten up, which was really funny.

Go save someone, and then get beaten!

All of a sudden.

The whole world is shocked!

As the saying goes-

The shocking first shot of Magical Index!

Can anyone believe it?

The target who was in need of medical treatment the moment before suddenly appeared in front of the protagonists the next moment.

Then he knocked the young man who claimed to be his ally in the magician camp unconscious in just a few moves. This was really too much.

Looking back at the previous plot, it seems that there are quite a few situations where teammates are severely beaten.

There was Sakura Haruno calling Naruto an orphan, Parker killing Natsuki Subaru three times, Light Yagami being trapped in the sand trap by Mimi and wanting to drink the blue bottle of calcium to supplement his nutrients, and the Master group in FGO being blown into a string by Professor Leif.

Oh, no... there's no need to even remember such a distant plot.

"Speaking of which, in the recent plot, the little girl named Bai Dewei should also be in this situation, right?"

"That's bullshit, it was premeditated, they were not on the same page from the beginning. If we have to say, it should be Accelerator. This idiot often suddenly starts to go crazy for no apparent reason. Last time he howled in the snow like a Tokyo savage."

"Ah, not only that, there's also Misaka Mikoto. She's the one who beat up Kamijou Touma the most. She always quarreled with him during the Daihastari Festival and various trivial matters, and they ended up parting on bad terms."

"In that case, I nominate Index..."

"Then I think Tsuchimikado can be considered one, after all, he got his fill of being a villain during the Angel's Fall ceremony."
