Editing review, starting from Natsuki Subaru shocking the world

“…I’ve helped you do it.”

"Yes."

"How annoying! I thought I was going to be a checkmate... As expected, it seems that I can't see anything else as long as there's a carrot hanging in front of me. Never mind, it's like this from the beginning of the technique."

Thor shrugged and spread his arms like wings.

The wings were broken.

To be precise, Thor's wrists were broken.

His dazzling arc knife was like a neon light at the end of its life, flashing a few times before disappearing into the air.

Kamijou didn't know the limits of Thor, the God of Thunder. Maybe this guy could even release arc knives with his feet.

So he asked:

"How to do?"

"Of course we will continue."

"Knew it."

Kamijou's dislocated right hand still hung there, but he continued to move towards Thor, the God of Thunder, slowly but surely.

"The winner must be clearly determined."

Then walk to run.

From running to sprinting.

The boy with the spiky hair did not join the battle just because he had the "Fantasy Breaker". Even if he could not use his right hand, he still had his left hand and left and right feet. So he could still fight. In order to end the stupid battle planned by Thor as soon as possible and treat the gunshot wound on the opponent's side, Kamijou flew in front of the magician.

“…I’m sorry, Kamijou-kun.”

at this time.

Thundergod Sol seemed to whisper something.

However, Kamijou had decisively arrived in front of Thor, the God of Thunder, and was at a very close distance where any attack he launched would be able to hit the opponent.

and so.

"The so-called 'Thor' cannot be summed up by just the word 'God of Thunder'."

Too late.

Followed by a heavy loud noise.

Kamijou’s body, which was floating in the air, was slammed to the ground by the opponent.

...

"Did I lose in the end?"

Looking at the completely dark scene in the video, the boy named Kamijou Touma fell into a long period of mental breakdown.

Chapter 174. New Challenge

Following these joking and regretful words, the scene suddenly became silent and dark.

Although the battle is far from over, the editing producer seems to have a rare compassion and does not want the audience to continue to witness Kamijou Touma fighting the magician with injuries.

Only a few scattered shouts and the final thud as Touma fell heavily to the ground could explain what the final outcome of it all was.

But fortunately, when the screen was restored, Kamijou Touma, who had recovered, was already standing in front of Index in full swing.

Although...there was a small sticky rice dumpling next to him.

This child is Floran, but it seems that she encountered something else during the duel between Touma and Thor, which caused her current functional loss and turned into her current appearance.

By the way, did she get to eat the brain she wanted to eat?

"From the perspective of plot mapping, she probably didn't eat it. Otherwise, there wouldn't be a scene where she suddenly became smaller."

This sentence comes from Yukinoshita Yukino, a beautiful girl who is a high school student in Japan...By the way, she was playing tennis when she said this.

"It's a very confusing plot. What a pity... There are no multiple perspectives on what happened to other people. This is very different from the previous plots."

"I remember that every time Kamijou Touma and the others were having a storyline at the same time, there would be separate perspectives on both sides. But now there is always only a single perspective, which makes the storyline look blurry. This is really..."

The neighboring emperor Iskandar also feels helpless about the plot situation. As one of the most famous kings in the world, he is currently playing his favorite game "Great Conquest".

"Tsk... This is so troublesome. These gossiping people forced the video to be in single-view mode. It's really troublesome."

Accelerator, who was originally worried that he would be in the main plot in the subsequent plot, now has no such concerns at all. Looking at the scene in the video, he just bought coffee from the convenience store and knocked over several gangsters' things.

All in all, this farce ended in a particularly [ordinary] situation.

As this scene falls, the video gradually fades out;

Then, several lines of beautiful, shining handwriting appeared..

[The boy named Kamijou Touma once again had a rare moment of rest. In this endless long battle, he got a chance to replenish his rest time.]

[However——this short break did not last long]

[It is not enough to simply defeat the traitor, Berthold.]

[The leader of this crisis... the crisis called Gremlin... is far from being completely over. ]

[What exactly is Orelus's desire, what exactly is the Demon God's long-cherished wish, and what kind of scene will Gremlin's group end with?]

[All of this is still unknown]

【The only thing we know is...】

[One day, a young man named Tsuchimikado visits again, and the crisis repeats itself...]

Then, the words gradually faded again, and finally fell silent...a new picture expanded and appeared again.

"Oh my, it's me again, A-Shang! Looks like this mission is going to be extra easy!"

This sentence was the flattered cry of Tsuchimikado Motoharu who was named to appear when the spoiler screen appeared;

As a close friend of Kamijou Touma, he was naturally happy to appear in this scene and fight together with his good brother.

Although he would occasionally cause trouble on purpose, like playing a random prank, but generally speaking, he would try to have as much fun as possible!

I guess my good friend Kamijou Touma thinks the same way, right?

"I miss you so much! I don't think so at all!"

This possibility was ruthlessly rejected.

Because Kamijou Touma simply couldn't believe that Tsuchimikado wouldn't cause trouble.

"In my mind, your ability to stir up trouble is simply No. 1, even more exaggerated than Accelerator and Stiyl!!"

Why did one sentence cause public outrage?

I am afraid--

This is the scene in front of us.

In stark contrast to Tsuchimikado who gloated over the criticism, the inexperienced and bad-tempered fire mage Bengbuzumi began to burn.

"Huh? How can a layman like you say something so incomprehensible? Can you tell me how I can be a professional troublemaker?"

"What? You just like..."

"Damn it, haha...it seems that there is really no way to improve our relationship. So let's show it, Witch Hunting King!"

"Hey, hey, hey, stop messing around. My house burned down and you have to pay for it!!"

"Stop talking!!"

...

Never mind what’s happening outside the editing screen.

Anyway, Touma in the clip really met a death-chasing ghost.

While on the surface, Kamijou Touma suddenly encountered all kinds of inexplicable things, and when he woke up... he found that everything was completely different.

When he opened his eyes, Kamijou Touma couldn't figure out whether he was really awake or asleep.

His consciousness was not blurred and his mind was very clear.

The reason was that it was dark all around.

(…What is this…? Where is this…?)

Kamijou tried to grope his way around in the pitch black darkness. It was narrow, very narrow. He couldn't even stretch his hands halfway before hitting the hard wall, and he could only half-bend his legs. There was something smooth like resin blocking his way.

Even he, who usually sleeps in the bathtub for some reason, feels that this space is extremely "narrow".

In an instant, absurd guesses such as "I was stuffed into a refrigerator" and "I was buried alive in the ground" flashed through the boy's mind.

Just then I

Buzz, buzz, buzz! A sound like the flapping of an enlarged insect's wings rang out in the narrow space. At the same time, a point of light lit up in the darkness. It was not the strong light of a fluorescent lamp that could evenly illuminate the entire space. It felt only slightly stronger than the "little light emerging from the darkness" of fireflies and fairy wands.

Even this kind of light is still dazzling at first.

Soon, Kamijou discovered that the outline of the light was a rectangle the size of a business card, and only then did he realize what the thing was.

"cell phone……?"

It was a slightly older model of mobile phone, and Kamijou's unkempt lifestyle made it look tattered. The phone should have been closed, but it seemed to have been opened when it was placed on the ground (?).

It looked like someone called him.

"..."

But before answering the phone, Kamijou chose to turn his attention to the narrow space illuminated by the dim light. Unlike the darkness just now, he could vaguely see the outline of the surroundings. Usually, getting more information would make people feel at ease, but now it was just the opposite. It was very narrow here, narrower than he had originally imagined, maybe as narrow as a washing machine. It was more like a box than a room. The ceiling was so close to the tip of his nose (?) that he almost felt suffocated.

Kamijou finally grabbed his cell phone.

He had an idea of ​​the name displayed on the screen.

"Tsuchimikado?"

"There's no time. I'll keep it short, Ah Shang."

This person is Kamijou's neighbor in the student dormitory and high school classmate, Tsuchimikado Motoharu.

But at the same time, he is also a multi-spy who collects intelligence from both the science and magic camps. The bass in the phone is smooth and heavy. Speaking in this voice means that Tsuchimikado is speaking in a hidden identity.

"There's a new magician who has infiltrated Academy City. If we don't deal with him before he takes action, it will cause serious damage to the city."

"A magician...?"

Kamijou frowned.

"So, the 'troublemaker' has sneaked into Academy City again?"

There was such a commotion not long ago.

In order to compete for a woman named Froland Chloiduni, a conflict broke out in Academy City between the Nordic-based magic group "Troublemakers" and the opposing Orelus forces.

If Kamijou and his men hadn't been guiding them from behind, the two sides would have fought at random in various places in the city, reducing most of the city to rubble. Would such a commotion happen again?

The results do not seem to be the case.

The main perpetrators of the problem are the magicians of the Tantric system, and the troublemakers should not be part of the same faction.

In fact, according to Tsuchimikado Motoharu's description, these guys are terribly weak, and the reason why they need everyone to work together to deal with them is because they have some small props in their hands that are particularly worth paying attention to and worrying about...

"The enemy's name is Meisaki Yuya. As I said before, he is a magician of the Tantric system... But to be honest, this guy is just a small character, or should I say very weak. If it were the current A-shang, he could handle it alone."

"The problem is the spiritual outfit."

Tsuchimikado said in a heavy tone:

"'Myouou no Tan' - the special gomatan that guy uses... Have you heard of the gomatan?"

"Please explain."

"It's a small prop used by the Tantrics for spiritual practice. They use it to burn something called a Homa wood, and use the fire and smoke to drive away distracting thoughts. Homa altars come in many sizes, from small ones that are about the size of a candle that can be held up with your fingers to large ones that are no different from campfires."

“However, there is also the ‘inner goma’ who imagines a goma altar in his mind,” Tsuchimikado added in a low voice.

Kamijou twisted his neck and felt a strange pain in his waist. He didn’t know how long this situation lasted, but the awkward posture had begun to make his joints wail.

"How big is this one?"
