Temperature Control in Academy City

With a loud whistling sound and crackling explosions in the air, the fireball drew a straight line and covered the direction of the Tokiwadai duo.

Chapter 262: The Failed Railgun

The ground began to break apart, and obvious cracks appeared.

The water column that gushed out immediately formed a simple barrier, but the speed of the fireball did not decrease at all.

There was a surge of light blue electricity under Misaka-senpai's feet, and she manipulated the magnetic field to start the catapult move.

With a natural advantage in movement speed, Misaka-senpai calculated the distance between her and the magician in her head while running straight towards the magician despite the approaching fireball.

There was only a slight delay before Suiryu beside Natsume reacted, and she felt that she almost understood what Misaka-senpai was thinking.

In coordination with Senior Misaka's actions, the water dragon beside Natsume Sonoko also rushed towards the direction of the magician.

The air has become distorted due to the high temperature, but Natsume can still temporarily control it as the water dragon continues to absorb heat.

But the moment it came into contact with the fireball, Natsume's control lost its effect.

The water dragon turned into a ball of water and hit it straight on the surface, and a large amount of hot steam rose up in an instant.

This was not the first time that Natsume had his control over the air taken away from him, and he was so familiar with it that he didn't feel much.

He just kept controlling the air to take away the heat around the red-haired magician so that the situation could be slightly favorable to his side.

The oncoming scorching fireball caused a phenomenon similar to a barometric explosion next to Misaka-senpai, creating a huge steam pressure.

A moment before this, a thick wall of iron sand blocked Misaka-senpai's way, and instantly burned a hole half a person's height in the center of the iron sand. This was the damage caused by the remaining fireball.

And among these steams, a bright light suddenly appeared, and the blue-white light column was particularly dazzling.

A super-electromagnetic cannon was fired straight out from the large hole burned in the center of the iron sand wall.

There was a sharp hum of electricity, the smell of burning metal filled the air, and Misaka-senpai raised her arms high.

However, the straight beam of light finally stopped several meters behind the red-haired magician, and its direction and angle were seriously deviated, and instead hit a tree not far behind the red-haired magician.

"Missed?"

This immediately surprised a certain guy with a meatball head.

I originally thought that Misaka-senpai wanted to get closer to the magician and then go rescue Naruto-senpai.

Even she herself was prepared to respond, but the sudden firing of the railgun was a bit surprising.

But what surprised Natsume even more was the failure of the launch of the railgun. Even if he showed mercy, the launched railgun went too far.

You know, the precision like shaving with a Swiss Army knife is also an important factor in Misaka-senpai becoming level 5.

“Amazing speed.”

The fire magician named Stiyl frowned.

The initial velocity of this kind of artillery shell is many times the speed of sound, and it is covered by a wall of steam and iron sand. Even I would not have time to react.

But unexpectedly, the direction of the artillery attack deviated a lot.

Could it be that the attack just now was actually a warning?

However, this magician was well prepared. He had already carved some runes on the inside of his clothes, which could raise a flame barrier the moment an attack such as the electromagnetic cannon touched him.

However, his clothes would also be burned at the same time, and were far inferior to Index's "Mobile Church".

Although it can only be used once, the magician is most afraid of standing still. He cannot just stay there and wait for others to attack.

The railgun missed, but Misaka-senpai continued her actions.

The protective layer of iron sand wrapped around his body kept falling off like raindrops under the high temperature, but the distance from the magician was less than thirty meters.

As Stiyl chanted something, several spheres of fire of varying sizes appeared in front of him, but they were immediately extinguished one by one by the water dragon following behind Misaka-senpai.

Natsume-kun on the side also reacted promptly without any hesitation. The surrounding underground water pipes burst collectively, and countless water dragons formed again, rushing towards Misaka-senpai.

At this time, Stiyl finally frowned and reached out a hand to Naruto Alisa behind him.

He didn't intend to continue to tangle with the two super-powered people, but was ready to leave here with this goal.

Because he didn't want the girl to be hurt by his fire, he asked her to stay behind him.

He received an order from the Church of a Necessary Evil, not only to confirm her identity as a saint as soon as possible, but also to bring her back to the Church of a Necessary Evil after confirmation.

But no matter how you look at it, the little girl in front of you is just an ordinary student.

However, due to the rash actions of several of his apprentices, there is no time to confirm, and he can only choose to take her out of Academy City first.

Stiyl was not worried about the girl escaping, because he had already set up a 'disperse idlers' spell at the exit of the leisure corridor, and this was also the only exit in the direction behind him.

Next, as long as you leave from that exit, even the psychics in Academy City will be affected, leaving yourself enough time to retreat.

This was the preparation he made when he was delaying the psychic duo in 'Hunting the Witch King'.

As for the performance of 'Hunting the Witch King', it was indeed somewhat unsatisfactory. Theoretically, magic at the Pope level could deal with a saint.

Although they were both level 5 of the two Academy Cities, being imprisoned so easily seemed like a poor performance.

However, Stiyl had only arranged the runes in a hurry, and the strength of the fire creatures would change greatly depending on the number of rune cards.

Although Minghu Alisa was very close, Stiyl's outstretched arm missed.

Ming Hu Alyssa, who was originally behind him, was suddenly pulled away by a huge force.

At this time, Senior Misaka was already more than ten meters away, controlling a few burnt game coin fragments to pull Alyssa away from the red-haired magician.

Just now when the railgun was fired, what was fired out was not an ordinary game coin, but a game coin wrapped in iron sand and specially treated.

There were several obvious cracks in the middle of this game coin. After the iron sand on the outside was completely vaporized, the game coin inside finally shattered, bringing the iron fragments that were not vaporized immediately to a place not far from Alyssa.

Because she was worried that the scattered debris would hurt Alisa, Senior Misaka even deliberately hit the shell at a tree as thick as her arms.

Since there is always a high-temperature flame around Stiyl that is enough to melt the iron sand, the iron sand that is too slow will not be able to reach Alyssa and will be burned into liquid by him.

Liquid magnets will be demagnetized by high temperatures and cannot be controlled by Misaka-senpai.

This is also the reason why Natsume had to water Misaka-senpai's iron cage just now, to keep it in a controllable state, rather than just letting the iron cool and solidify.

Chapter 263: Changes in the Amulet

The originally thick protective layer of iron sand on its body has now almost been melted away, and the molten iron drops onto the ground.

As the protective layer was breached, Misaka-senpai's body began to be exposed to the high temperature.

Even electromagnetic barriers that can defend against various attacks become increasingly useless under high temperatures.

In just a few seconds, an unnatural blush appeared on Misaka-senpai's face and her body temperature began to rise rapidly.

Fortunately, water balls were falling around me continuously, and a large amount of steam was formed, absorbing a lot of heat.

The red-haired magician took a few steps back, his black cloak began to rustle, and his body leaned forward, maintaining a posture that was easy to move.

He suddenly exerted force on his feet and retreated several meters in an instant. Some scattered rune cards fell to the ground, and blazing flames instantly burned all around him.

"There is fire in my hand, its shape is a sword, its job is to judge sin."

The raging flames became more and more captivating, and the flame in Stiyl's hand turned into an extremely hot flaming sword as the chanting ended.

The sword began to stretch, blocking the path that Senior Misaka had to take. The extremely high temperature was like a barrier, dividing the two sides into different territories.

He didn't want to make such a big deal out of it, but given the current situation, things were already beyond his control.

Although he has a self-restriction on using magic on ordinary people, he is ruthless and will do anything to achieve his goals, making him a very difficult opponent.

Tongues of flame surged, and the flaming sword in the red-haired magician's hand began to slash towards Misaka-senpai.

The high temperature created a huge gash in the ground, and the buried water pipes were instantly exposed, with their surface completely melted.

Now that's good, Natsume doesn't have to worry about the follow-up problems of the underground water pipes.

Putting the problem of the underground water pipe aside, Natsume Sonoko's face was still dazed, but a huge ice sword appeared in the air, aiming towards the magician's head.

Although the magician was moving quickly, Natsume's sword was even faster.

With a light stroke, he caught up with Stiyl who was holding the flaming sword, forcing the opponent to withdraw and fight back.

A thirty-meter long flaming sword and a thirty-meter long frost sword.

The two collided and rubbed violently above a pavilion, causing a huge fire visible to the naked eye, and the falling ice cubes smashed the top into pits.

The scene suddenly became grand, and both sides in confrontation began to move at high speed, fighting without any scruples.

At this time, Misaka-senpai successfully rescued Minghu Alisa, and then took this senior away from the battle temporarily.

Trees fell down in large numbers, and stone benches for people to rest were overturned by the wind waves, leaving a mess everywhere.

Although he has no interest in intentionally destroying public facilities, Natsume-san will not be restrained by these things.

A girl with a bun-like hair who has rich combat experience among the students seems to be particularly calm when facing the enemy. She knows very well that the most important thing now is to protect everyone and defeat the enemy.

However, the frost sword collapsed at the first touch, and the high temperature caused green smoke to continuously emerge from the sword, making it look like the ice was on fire.

Natsume stood steadily in mid-air, controlling the water dragon to continuously add water to the interior of the giant frost sword, replenishing the remaining parts that were evaporated by the high heat.

A grand weapons duel was taking place in the leisure corridor. Some onlookers just wanted to get closer, but were stopped by the "Idle People Dispersal" arranged at the exit.

However, there is not only one exit, and more and more people are gathering around it.

Fortunately, the discipline committee members had already arrived at the scene, followed by the security forces. According to the situation at the scene, they even mobilized several armored vehicles.

A certain girl with a bun on her head instantly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that everything was starting to develop in their favor.

In Academy City, the magic side is undoubtedly a disadvantaged group.

However, Natsume was a little surprised. She actually saw Index and the others in the crowd.

Haven’t Kamijou-senpai and Index already gone home?

"Stiyl, what are you doing!?"

A hedgehog-headed man emerged from the crowd and rushed into the fight between the two men.

A fireball hit the head without any hesitation, but was immediately blocked by the right hand.

But Index ran to Misaka-senpai's side and looked at the two people in the sky with some worry.

The magician named Stiyl simply frowned and looked around at the many guards nearby.

As if he had made up his mind, the red-haired magician moved towards the direction of the "Idle People Disperse" magic that he had arranged without looking back.

This surprised Natsume. He didn't expect that this senior student had such a strong deterrent effect.

But without thinking, Natsume also began to chase in the direction where the fire magician left.

She hasn't figured out what's going on yet, but she feels like it's a big problem.

Natsume really wants to resolve this incident and find the mastermind behind the threat to the Misaka sisters, just like many of the problems they encounter in their daily lives.

And just as he passed through the exit of the leisure corridor, the amulet that Natsume was wearing emitted a bright light, and then passed through unhindered.

The sudden light coming out from under the clothes scared the girl with the bun, and her movement speed slowed down for a while.

But after carefully observing the amulet, Natsume found that nothing seemed to have changed.

Following closely behind the red-haired magician, Natsume had already thrown aside the frost sword in his hand and instead controlled the airflow to interfere with the opponent's movement.

No matter it was a mirage or some other magic, the red-haired magician could not get rid of a certain bun-head smoothly, because she could clearly distinguish the authenticity of the other party.

"It didn't work."

There was some confusion on Stiyl's face, but he could still see the guy with the bun-haired girl chasing him relentlessly from the corner of his eye.

Even if Index is on their side, since they have no magic power, it will take some time to remove the magic.

And if it was Kamijou Touma who used his right hand to remove the effect of 'Dispel Idlers', then it should be Kamijou Touma who chased after him, not this esper.

As if knowing that he couldn't get rid of it in a short time, Stiyl's movement speed slowed down, and the condensed hot fireball in his hand took shape again.

Because of some intelligence that he had investigated in advance, he had a certain degree of understanding of several people with super powers in Academy City.

Although maintaining high temperatures consumes a lot of magic power, when facing a superpower who can control the air, Stiyl must maintain the existence of this huge fireball.

Fortunately, the current situation is not very bad. After a slight hesitation, Steele began to arrange magic runes in his hands.
