A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 928 What Touma Kamijou Cares About

"What do you mean 'Water from the Rear'? That guy is a monster! Could you be any more exaggerated?" After making a sarcastic remark, Kamijou Touma looked at Lin Wuming and sincerely praised him, "But speaking of which, being able to defeat that kind of monster, Wuming, you are incredibly strong."

—Lin Wuming is an absolute monster! I thought he was seriously injured and unconscious like before, but unexpectedly he was completely unharmed! It can only be said that as the enemies get stronger, Lin Wuming's strength is also rapidly improving!

Kamijou Touma sighed inwardly. Besides visiting Lin Wuming, he had specifically used his lunch break to come to the hospital, mainly to obtain information about what had happened yesterday.

When Touma Kamijou heard about the great battle that broke out outside the castle from Tsuchimikado Motoharu, Kanzaki Kaori, and Stiyl around midnight last night, he was completely stunned.

He had thought that the incident would be perfectly over after successfully rescuing Sister Osora Aquinas.

That's why Touma Kamijou felt at ease going home to take care of Index, who had been starving all day.

Unexpectedly, the real fierce battle only broke out after that.

Kamijou Touma had very mixed feelings about this, especially after hearing that Lin Wuming had been hospitalized again.

Although Touma Kamijou would always seek help from Lin Wuming, he was unwilling to involve others when faced with truly troublesome enemies.

Even though Lin Wuming is a powerful Level 5.

Touma Kamijou also had his pride and sense of propriety. In his view, the events on the magic side had no direct connection with Lin Wuming. He could ask Lin Wuming for help, but he couldn't dump all the problems on him.

Last night, just as they were about to fall asleep, Tsuchimikado Motoharu, Stiyl, and Kanzaki Kaori went to Kamijou Touma's house and called Index out to talk to her.

During this time, Tsuchimikado Motoharu gave a general account of the situation regarding the water in the rear.

But before Touma could ask any further questions, the three of them hurriedly left, seemingly unwilling to waste even a second, appearing very busy.

After that, Index also fell silent, unusually revealing a serious expression as if she were thinking about a problem.

When Touma asked, he only received a somewhat baffling answer—

"The Supreme Bishop has ordered that the Catalogue of Forbidden Books Library be opened to Lin Wuming."

Because he was concerned about everything, Touma Kamijou decided to find Lin Wuming and ask him for clarification.

When I arrived at school today, I discovered that Lin Wuming was absent due to illness, and Tsuchimikado Motoharu was also absent and his whereabouts were unknown.

So, Touma Kamijou went to the hospital again during his lunch break. Index seemed to have anticipated this and arrived at the gate of a high school ahead of time to join Touma Kamijou.

When confronted by Touma Kamijou's question, Lin Wuming did not hide anything and truthfully recounted his experience from the previous day.

After hearing about the strength and performance of the Water from the Rear from Lin Wuming, Kamijou Touma fell silent.

—I initially thought that Tsuchimikado Motoharu was just making things up to appease me; but it turns out that the strength of that Rear Water is even more exaggerated than the fabricated story!

Kamijou Touma had initially held high hopes for his own strength and "Imagine Breaker," believing that he himself might also be able to defeat Mizuki.

But now it seems that even without using any magic, that Water in the rear could easily beat me up with just brute force!

Trusting Lin Wuming, Touma didn't believe he would deceive him. So, Touma slumped into his chair, sighing, "Looks like it's all thanks to Wuming's timely intervention. If it were me, I definitely wouldn't have been able to handle him..."

"That's not entirely true," Lin Wuming shook his head. "It seems that the target of the Water from the Rear was me this time, so it's normal for me to fight against it. Besides, I'm not fighting alone. Kanzaki Kaori, Mikoto, Tora-chan, and Shokuhou all helped me. It can only be said that the Water from the Rear lost fair and square."

“Alright.” Shaking his head, Touma Kamijou quickly cheered up again. “You don’t need to comfort me. I know my own strength very well. I definitely can’t compare to a monster like you.”

"Do you think I'm a monster too?" Lin Wuming retorted. "Your right hand is the one committing a foul."

“But apart from this right hand, I have nothing else to boast about.” Touma Kamijou waved his right hand.

Touma Kamijou is confident in handling magical events because he has the trump card "Imagine Breaker".

As long as the enemy's magic or other supernatural abilities can be eliminated, it will eventually just be a melee between ordinary people—Touma Kamijou was quite confident about this.

However, this greatest advantage cannot be brought into play when encountering "experts among ordinary people".

The most troublesome thing about "saints" is that their physical bodies are naturally superhuman, and even if they lose their magic, their combat power is still extraordinary.

This can be considered the opponent who best counters Touma Kamijou.

Having figured all this out, Touma Kamijou stopped worrying.

"Anyway, as long as we defeat the enemy, that's fine." Touma Kamijou nodded, then added, "But I have one request: next time you encounter a similar incident, please remember to let me know! Although I'm not as strong as Mumei, I can still fight!"

"I'll definitely do it next time." Lin Wuming readily agreed, then added, "But before that, there is something I'd like to ask you for help with."

“Go ahead and say it!” Touma Kamijou patted his chest confidently.

"I'd like to borrow your 'Imagine Killer' for a bit," Lin Wuming said earnestly.

"Huh? Can I borrow it..." Touma Kamijou raised his right hand to look at it, then looked up at the other side.

Seeing that he seemed to have misunderstood, Lin Wuming quickly added, "To be precise, it's borrowing the ability of 'Imagine Breaker'—if it can be considered a superpower."

"Of course I know that... No need for further explanation, don't worry, I haven't misunderstood!" Touma Kamijou nodded repeatedly.

It would be bad if there wasn't a misunderstanding. Although it was just a momentary mental lapse, Touma Kamijou did indeed connect the image of his right hand being cut off.

Lin Wuming didn't expose him, but sneered inwardly—who would cut off this guy's right hand? Is he tired of living?

In fact, Lin Wuming's idea came on a whim. When he saw Kamijou Touma come to visit him, the topic of "Imagine Breaker" came up again.

Then Lin Wuming suddenly realized that he had never truly faced "Imagine Killer" before—from an adversarial perspective.

"So, Nameless, you mean..." Upon learning Lin Wuming's thoughts, Kamijou Touma suddenly jumped up from his chair, "You...you want to duel with me?"
