A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 632: Shirai Kuroko's Actions

"I told you to make this a quick decision," Stiyl said, taking Kamijou Touma's sigh in question as if it was a matter of course. "Do you think I should wait for you to slowly move to your destination?"

——That’s not the problem!

Kamijou Touma grumbled inwardly, but wisely decided not to continue the argument. He didn't know many magicians, but one thing was certain: Kamisaki Kaori and Index were the type who couldn't handle modern technology. Sometimes it really made one doubt whether they could even survive in modern society...

I thought that Stiyl, who is also a magician, was similar, but now it seems that Stiyl is obviously much more normal.

Although waiting for the bus took a little time, overall, taking a taxi was much faster than relying on feet or a wheelchair to get to the vicinity of Misawa Juku.

Across the street, the two people who came near Misawa Academy looked up at their destination.

The four tower-like buildings are connected by a corridor in the middle to form a whole.

That is "Misawajuku".

"Are you ready? The battle begins the moment you step into this building." Stiyl relit a new cigarette.

Kamijou Touma squeezed his right hand and nodded seriously, "Of course, let's..."

"Smoking is prohibited in public places!" someone next to me suddenly shouted.

Stiyl's reaction was very intense because he was very sure that there was absolutely no third person nearby until just now.

Therefore, he quickly retreated to create some distance, holding a few rune cards in his hand.

"Don't be nervous, it's someone you know," Kamijou Touma said, "right, Shirai Kuroko-san."

"Tsk, space movement..." Stiyl muttered, but he did relax.

Just as Kamijou Touma had said, it was someone he knew—the girl with twin tails had been there the last time they were in the safe house.

So Stiilchi and Shirai Kuroko actually know each other.

"Why are you here too?" Steele asked with a frown. Since even Lin Wuming no longer interfered in this incident, there was no reason for an ordinary discipline committee member to continue to pester him.

"Because I saw someone breaking the rules and smoking in public," Shirai Kuroko said, tilting her head. "Well, actually, I followed you because I was concerned. Mr. Stiyl, you're a magician, right? Why are you back in Academy City in less than a week?"

"There is a mission." Stiyl didn't explain too much. "You can ask Lin Wuming for details."

"No, that's fine." Shirai Kuroko shook her head. "I'm just a little concerned, but I don't intend to get to the bottom of it. Besides, Kamijou-senpai's wheelchair..."

Shirai Kuroko moved in a space and appeared next to the wheelchair; she seemed to care a lot about the wheelchair, and the girl gave people the feeling that she was almost about to throw herself into Kamijou Touma's arms.

Startled by the girl who suddenly appeared in front of him, Kamijou Touma quickly reached out to stop her.

But Shirai Kuroko seemed to just squat down and check the nameplate on the wheelchair.

"It's definitely not the wheelchair that belonged to Senior Wuming."

"Of course not, how could I possibly use Wuming-senpai's wheelchair..." Kamijou Touma complained as he quickly withdrew his hand, "Ah, sorry, I accidentally pushed you just now."

"No, I was too reckless." Shirai Kuroko stood up and smiled, "Then I won't bother you two anymore, goodbye." After that, the girl quickly activated the space movement and left.

Kamijou Touma scratched his head, still a little worried: "Could she also want to enter Misawa Academy? Should I tell Wuming?"

"Her goal is just your right hand," Stiyl sneered from the side. "Please wake up and don't let yourself be used without knowing it."

As a bystander, Stiyl saw clearly that when Kamijou Touma stretched out his hands to try to stop Shirai Kuroko from rushing towards him, the girl obviously took the initiative to bump into his right hand.

"Huh? Is that so?" Kamijou Touma looked at his right hand in surprise.

"Well, she probably doesn't have any other intentions anyway, so don't worry about it," Stiyl said. "Let's go."

"Oh." Kamijou Touma nodded quickly and followed.

After several consecutive spatial movements, Shirai Kuroko escaped to a very far place in one breath, then stopped, leaned against the wall and breathed a sigh of relief.

Shirai Kuroko didn't want to escape from Kamijou Touma out of guilt - although she did use some tricks to take advantage of him, the main reason was that she was not familiar with Kamijou-senpai, and asking him to touch her head directly... It was really hard to put it into words.

What she really wanted to escape from was Misawa Academy.

"That strange space... is definitely not normal!" Shirai Kuroko also recovered her memory from the day before yesterday, and remembered the one hundred seconds she lost in Misawa Academy.

then……

After separating from Lin Wuming, Shirai Kuroko and Hufeng Toumi were transported out of thin air into an infinite corridor. No matter how she activated spatial teleportation, she couldn't escape. It seemed as if they could only circle in the same place forever...

For a space user, there is no situation more terrifying than this.

——This means that the space has been out of his control, and to go further, it is equivalent to "loss of control of ability"!
You know, if an ability fails to achieve the expected effect after being activated, it will be a blow to the confidence of the person with the ability, especially for a very abstract ability like space.

Shirai Kuroko was very scared. If she had stayed in that strange space longer, even if there was no problem with her abilities, problems would have arisen out of nowhere due to the mental shakes!
Thinking that she was now far enough away from Misawa Academy, Shirai Kuroko felt a little relieved, calmed herself down, and started thinking again.

"Should we tell Wuming Senior... No, he must have known it a long time ago." Shirai Kuroko shook her head, "After all, Kamijou-senpai's clue came from Wuming Senior."

Strictly speaking, it was Misaka Mikoto who revealed it to her.

Because the day before yesterday, Shirai Kuroko and Lin Wuming entered Misawa Academy together to conduct an investigation. Since Lin Wuming experienced a fierce battle in the "lost one hundred seconds", Shirai Kuroko must not be safe either.

So after returning to the dormitory, Misaka Mikoto was very concerned and asked her roommate about her well-being. Only after repeatedly confirming that Shirai Kuroko was not injured and there were no other abnormalities did she feel relieved.

Later, during the conversation, they also mentioned the matter of the nameless senior asking Kamijou Touma to "exorcise the devil".

Shirai Kuroko is a meticulous person who accurately grasped the key words and deduced that her own memory might have been sealed as well, which led to the scene that happened today.

She finally understood why the nameless senior did not remind her and let her unlock her sealed memories.

Because this kind of thing seems to have no other value except shaking one's confidence.
