People are in Type-Moon, but they practice science

"Okay, I understand..."

Below, Chloe was performing the orthodox "Archer" operation: constantly harassing Saber with a bow and arrow, no, with magical "explosive" arrows, and then constantly looking for opportunities during this period, while Saber was busy dealing with her long-range suppression, she picked up the pseudo-pseudo-spiral sword she had projected to the side.

"Whoosh whoosh—"

The pseudo-pseudo-spiral sword mixed with several arrows, aiming at the flaws in her movements and shooting into the gaps where she was unable to defend, shattering her fantasy.

"Rumble————!"

All her operations were completed in one go. The next moment, an exaggerated orange-red light explosion rose from the ground, blowing away all the loose soil and dust around it, and then the impact scattered in all directions. The explosion cloud soared into the sky, completely obscuring Saber's appearance.

But this was no obstacle for Chloe.

"There's still a magical reaction!" she shouted towards the sky.

"——No need to remind us, we can see it!" Illya responded loudly, "Miyu! Combined attack! Starlight Explosion——"

"The thunder halberd breaks—"

Magic cannons of different natures combined into one force and shot out towards the same target below.

Two massive and mighty torrents of magical light intersected, leaving tracks of astonishing presence in the air. Each one was far superior to the previous black aurora of "Excalibur Morgan" that shot up into the sky, like a gigantic pillar of light that pierced the sky, like a huge thunderbolt that tore through the heavens.

Shooting down, no, the beam of light fell on the ground, piercing Saber and the ground of the mirror world together, and then the energy expanded in all directions, causing the underground bedrock to break and collapse with a loud rumbling sound. The surface of the ground fell and fell like a layer of thin paper that was so brittle that it cracked, and collapsed into the depths.

"The hostile reaction has disappeared," Miyu confirmed immediately.

"Wow - Miyu, did we hit too much? Is Xiao Hei okay?" Illya was having a great time with the sex, but when she came to her senses, she remembered that Chloe was still down there.

"…So, go find her, and then meet up outside quickly. The mirror world is about to collapse. I'm going to collect the cards." Miyu looked at it speechlessly. Just now, Illya's output was much greater than Miyu's. It was obvious that she didn't control it well. She didn't know whether it was intentional or accidental.

However, Chloe's level was not enough to be destroyed by the aftermath. Therefore, Miyu gave the task of "rescuing Chloe" to Illya, the "culprit".

----------

Floran walked out onto the street for the first time.

"Well……"

To be exact, it wasn't the first time. There was one time three years ago, but at that time she was simulating the mind of Irmia, and what she saw in London at that time were the empty streets caused by the 'London Incident'.

Such a prosperous and novel view was something she had never experienced before.

Why are there so many people walking on the street? Why are so many people not fighting and devouring each other like wild beasts, but walking freely in groups of three or two? Why are the people here filled with... an emotion called happiness from the corners of their eyes to their lips?

Chapter 237: High-Level Life in Academy City

Ai Li and Ling took Floran along the neat avenue, with naturally grown evergreen plants on both sides of the wide street.

The trees and flowers that seem to be the same as those in other cities are the products of a research institute that specializes in plant research. They not only have stronger purification and dust absorption capabilities than ordinary plants, but also disrupt insect activity through self-produced secondary biomass, forming self-mothproofing;

At the same time, the modulated green plants will produce different biological enzymes at different growth stages, causing them to grow rapidly in the early stages. After reaching a certain stage, their growth will be inhibited, so they will not be too lush and require artificial pruning.

This is just a small reflection of Academy City's in-depth research results on biology. All of this is also due to Academy City's sophisticated grasp of the "genetic code of life".

As one of the indispensable sources of technology, Froland followed Ellie and the little girl Ling unconsciously. She was observing the various novel facilities inside the school district.

Although Academy City has not been publicly announced as a unified entity, the directors have already applied to the government for development rights in the name of their different industries. In this area with the planning goal of "building a world-leading science city", the engineering department led by Velvet, Tesla and others has made drastic changes to the infrastructure in the development area, from roads and transportation to functional buildings such as housing, hospitals, and schools, as well as important urban foundations such as power generation and distribution systems and sewer networks.

For example, in Academy City, due to the highly developed controllable nuclear technology, clean energy such as nuclear power is very cheap. What Floran saw were automatically running trams on the road. These trams were spread all over Academy City and gradually covered various school districts within three years.

Due to the pre-planned dedicated roads and the developed transportation network system, trams have become the mainstream public transportation. Compared with buses outside, trams are several times faster, with no congestion, frequent services and super low fares. Even many young people quickly switched to taking buses after calculating the costs of fuel, parking fees, maintenance, etc. for their private cars.

Ai Li took Ling and Floran to the fourth school district by tram.

The fourth district is the most developed district in the food industry of Academy City, with a dense and diverse catering industry. Of course, the reason for its development here is inseparable from the support of the Academy City Agriculture Department behind it.

"arrive."

Ellie pointed to a busy restaurant.

Ling on the side cheered and jumped over - because her sister, Sakura was waiting there.

Sakura, who has the same hair color as Ling, is the former Fire-Chasing Moth Yingjie Sakura. She is not Fuyuki's Sakura, nor is she Yae Sakura. Apart from the doctors who came to this world at the earliest stage, she is the second batch of residents who came here with other Yingjie. After being at a loss for the first time, she quickly applied to Qin Xuan for her old profession - a dark force similar to the "Poison Pupa", responsible for protecting the scientific and technological achievements and facilities of the Academy City, and clearing out all spies, mercenaries or individual uneasy elements from outside.

But in fact, due to the technological advantage, the surface world invasion in the general sense is really no match for the Academy City security system, both in reality and in information control. Therefore, the Anbu has almost nothing to do except to catch spies who want to obtain advanced technology.

Sakura doesn't care about all this. She is very dedicated and responsible, not for any other reason, but just because Qin Xuan wants her sister Ling to live happily here.

Ai Li smiled as she saw Ling and Sakura interacting like normal sisters, but Flora next to them didn't feel anything, she was just looking at the humans.

Humans, lots of humans, more than she had ever seen in total, moved into the huge building called "restaurant" and began an activity called "eating" under her observation, but this kind of eating was much less efficient than her hunting and eating.

It requires tools to pick up, chew, swallow, digest and excrete. It is inefficient and wasteful.

Floran continued to observe their expressions. Their cheeks moved vigorously, and their expressions changed slightly from anxiety to comfort as they took the food in their mouths, chewed it, and swallowed it, as if this repetitive behavior was the ultimate enjoyment.

"The restaurant is... a strange place."

"Hmm? Why did Sister Flora say that?" Ellie noticed Flora's words.

"Eat... Why do they eat like this?" As a non-human, Floran does not need to eat at all. All her "eating" is just experimental requirements. All the flavors she can taste are "life factors". She cannot understand the life and diet of humans.

"Well, this is a difficult problem that is too common sense and difficult to explain," Ellie said with an unchanged smile, "Perhaps... for sister Flora, we should change the perspective. Although it is also 'eating', what they need more is 'life', a life that is a mixture of delicious food, company, culture, and relaxing time."

"Life?" Floran tilted her head.

"Hey, sister Flora, after talking so much, why not go in and experience it yourself," Ellie pulled Flora forward, "Look, Sakura and Ling have already gone to order food and are waiting for us."

The two walked into the restaurant. The restaurant was large, divided into three floors, each floor could accommodate hundreds of diners, and the dishes were mainly Japanese, not only for the internal staff of Academy City, but also for the many natives of this city.

The restaurant is managed in a standardized manner. Through the transparent display windows, you can clearly see the neat kitchen and the fresh, hot meals taken out from each window. Customers can freely choose dishes through the electronic screen when ordering. If they are internal employees, they can directly swipe "points", while the natives rarely pay with physical currency. They are used to using the electronic payment promoted by Academy City in the past three years.

Ai Li took Floran to one of the four-person tables. Ling and Sakura, who were sitting there, had already ordered food in advance, including octopus balls, sea bream miso soup, Japanese tofu, whitebait rice balls, tempura shrimp, tamagoyaki and other dishes.

This is actually a set meal for four people, and the price is very low. Sakura and others have internal "discounts", so it can be said that they spend almost no money, and even without the discount, it is still quite cheap, which is why the natives chose it. Because the raw materials for the catering developed by Academy City come from its own industries, such as artificial farms, and other consumption such as logistics systems, water and electricity supply are also self-owned.

Chapter 238: Ryougi Shiki Special Edition Open Door Kill

However, one thing that must be mentioned is that the raw materials for Academy City's food do not come from traditional crops and livestock. Like the green plants that can be seen everywhere outside the restaurant, they are all products of genetic modulation and artificial synthesis.

For example, the eggs and milk used in tamagoyaki are actually artificially synthesized foreign proteins, combined with lecithin and many trace elements. This kind of food is obviously cheap to purchase and can reduce costs. It is not only supplied to restaurants, but also to other businesses in Academy City and the cooperative agency control area through channels.

At this time, Ling was eating tamagoyaki which looked no different from ordinary meals. In fact, she was a similar existence to Ai Li. She was a spiritual phenomenon based on Qin Xuan's World Tree, or she could be understood as a spiritual branch of the World Tree.

Therefore, she actually does not need to eat, just like Flora, but her memory of her existence and life as a human makes her continue this habit. Most importantly, eating together is the most relaxing time for Ling to be with her sister.

"Sister! You seldom come to see me recently!" Ling puffed up her cute cheeks.

"Sorry," Sakura apologized immediately. Although she was doing similar "dirty work", Ling was no longer the young girl she was before, so she didn't hide much. However, this was a public place, so Sakura just explained a little, "Well... recently the 'business' has expanded a bit quickly, so it's quite conspicuous, and I have to run back and forth to various places."

Sakura said as she touched Ling's head, but her sister turned away and dodged. Ling was not angry because she thought that Sakura was busy at work and that the adults were using it as an excuse to reduce the time they spent with her, but she just seemed to dislike her sister's behavior of treating her like a child.

Sakura was slightly embarrassed, then turned to Ai Li sitting opposite her and Frolan who was behaving strangely, and changed the subject, "Alicia, the one next to you..."

"Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't want to disturb your sister's reunion time. So I'll just start eating on my own. The girl next to me is named Florent Chloë Dune. She's a child with... quite unique interests." Ellie didn't mind Florent's strange behavior at all and responded in a cheerful tone.

At this moment, Floran was trying to pick up something with chopsticks and put it into her mouth. Perhaps it should be described this way. After all, she was not eating, but merely imitating the "eating movements" of the people around her.

While others were picking up dishes, she was using chopsticks to pick up rice balls. In order to imitate, she even mashed the originally beautifully shaped rice balls into pieces. Her logic was that as long as she was doing the same thing, she could experience a similar "eating life" experience.

Sakura looked at the way Flora "wasted" the food. She didn't understand Flora's logic, but she couldn't help but feel awkward. "Really... It's really unique, Flora, is it delicious like this?"

"Hmm?" Floran paused when she heard someone calling her name, "Delicious?"

She looked at her plate, then at the people around her. She wasn't sure if she was experiencing "daily life", but considering how hard she tried to follow the example, it should be similar.

"Hmm... delicious."

Sakura got Froland's answer and nodded, "That's good."

It’s just… I always feel like the other person’s logic behind saying it’s delicious is a little different?

--------

In EARTH-KL, Illya and Mei were walking on the way home from school. According to the time that Sister Gray told them before she left last time, the new "trial examiner" would be here starting tonight.

They need to enter the virtual trial equipment through the device again, and Rin and Luvia will not accompany them this time. Since most of the class cards have been recovered, the distortion of the earth veins has gradually returned to normal. According to the content of the contract, they need to hurry up to complete the new earth vein project and make advance preparations for the subspace equipment that can generate "space-time bubbles".

"Today's new 'instructor' should also be Big Brother's... subordinate?" Illya didn't quite understand Qin Xuan's organizational structure. "What kind of person would he be? It would be best if he could be as easy to talk to as Sister Gray."

"Ha - Illya, if you have such a 'lazy' idea, be careful not to be eliminated at the start," suddenly, Chloe appeared next to Illya - until just now, she was in spirit form.

"Ahhh, don't suddenly cancel your status in the street!" Illya was startled.

"Hahaha, it's nothing serious. We're almost at Big Sister Luvia's house, and there's no one else around. It must be the coward Illya who got scared!" Chloe jumped back, turned over and stepped on the edge of the wall, then jumped up and down and went straight into the courtyard. "Come on, Sister Illya, you can't pass without your help."

"I'm the older sister!" Illya stamped her feet angrily, "Miyu, let's hurry over and start the trial! Besides, it should be easier for me without Kuro's participation!"

"...Yeah." Miyu watched Illya follow Chloe, but she always felt that it would be too inappropriate for the two of them to participate in the battle in this state. If they didn't take the battle seriously... they would suffer.

--------

"Eh? Isn't it an open space in the suburbs or a playground?"

After entering the simulated trial site, the first thing Illya and the other two saw was the surrounding buildings and the empty city streets. The doors and windows of the surrounding buildings were completely open, but the lights were not on inside and it was completely dark, like a bunch of empty dark faces quietly facing and staring at the three girls.

"Strange?" Chloe fiddled with her two swords. "I can't see the enemy in my field of vision, or is he hiding in the building?"

"Maybe it hasn't started yet? After all, there's a chance we'll be late." Illya also made a guess.

"...There doesn't seem to be any prompt like 'Trial Begins'." Miyu mentioned from the side.

The three of them walked around and found nothing, so they decided to randomly pick a building to explore. Maybe there would be some kind of 'puzzle solving' requirement this time?

So, Illya, Chloe, and Miyu walked into one of the buildings one by one.

call.

Just as Illya was moving forward, there was an imperceptible sound of wind - not even the warning spell of the magic device was sounded.

Chloe sensed something was wrong with her Servant skills, "Illya!"

That's too late.

She wanted to hold Illya, but tiny scratches had already appeared on her neck. Then Illya's neck began to break from the scratches and her head fell off.

Chapter 239 'The Untouchable Death'

thump.

The body fell helplessly, blood, head, and corpse. Illya's body was completely broken.

When they came to their senses, a huge bright red had already covered Chloe and Miyu's field of vision.

This was not the first time they had witnessed or personally experienced a simulated "death experience". Although it was only a restoration of pain, "death" was only a temporary interruption of consciousness.

However, no death in battle had ever been so sudden and unexpected. The smell of blood spilling all over the corridor even made their hearts skip a beat... Chloe and Miyu had an illusion that if the enemy really wanted to take their lives, they could "kill" their consciousness here and make them never wake up.

This was completely different from Gray's trial.

Gray completely crushed them with her powerful strength. All living beings were equal under the bombardment of the Holy Spear. If they couldn't stop it, they couldn't stop it. Their bodies would turn into ashes and nothing would be left.

Moreover, Gray always showed mercy, and her fighting style intentionally suppressed the brutality of dragons. Otherwise, these kids would have been traumatized.

In addition, there is another difference. Ryougi Shiki, the person in charge of this trial, does not intend to give any reminders like "Trial Start". She does not care about this.

Ryougi Shiki said, what's the use of this thing? Could it be that before starting a fight, you can specifically tell the opponent "be careful, I'm coming"? Isn't this just ridiculous?

In short, she didn't intend to make such a pre-war declaration. Alas, that's why bringing in newcomers is troublesome.

Whoosh.

'That feeling is coming back!'

Chloe felt a sudden chill, and she and Miyu quickly woke up from their previous state and looked at each other: "Get out first!"

The two of them followed the simple plans in their minds and instinctively made strategic shifts. Miyu quickly entered an accelerated state, and several photon spirit spears wrapped in lightning shot in different directions, while Chloe's bow and arrow followed closely behind.

"Rumble--"

The corridors and stairways in all directions were instantly buried by lightning guns and explosions, and began to show signs of collapse as expected. Miyu and Chloe did not pay attention to it, and they took the opportunity to escape.

"Snapped."

The two of them landed in a panic, and then immediately observed the building they had just entered. It was now half collapsed. Even so, they could not confirm whether the enemy was alive, what his true identity was, what his specific abilities were, etc.

"In that case—" Miyu's lightning axe flashed with astonishing light.

At the same time, Chloe began to project a powerful treasure on her hand, "——Then force that person out!"
