The Legend of Level 0 in Academy City

"Because, besides him, no one can defeat Right Flame. If the hostage exchange plan fails and a battle breaks out with Right Flame, then we'll only have Kamijou to rely on. Otherwise..."

At this point, Misaki Shokuhou paused, as if to emphasize the importance of what she was about to say, and slowly continued:

"You, and I, will all die!"

Chapter 476 In a hurry, they finally arrived.

After a brief silence, Misaka Mikoto was the first to discover the problem and asked Shokuhou Misaki:

"If that guy can defeat Right Flame, why bother with such a complicated plan? Wouldn't it be more direct to charge in and confront him head-on?"

"That's why I said, Misaka-san, you really are an idiot whose head is all muscles and who has absolutely no thinking ability!"

Misaki Shokuhou sighed and rubbed her forehead, looking utterly defeated by Misaka Mikoto.

"Things aren't that simple. Although Kamijou can defeat Right Fire, now isn't the best time. We need to meet some conditions. The reason we're bringing Kamijou along now is simply to ensure that the three of us don't get killed by Right Fire."

The 'Holy Right' of the Right Flame is born with the power to save the world. The third hand drawn out through the 'Holy Right' can hit the target with just a wave, so it does not require strength or attack speed.

Moreover, the power of his third hand automatically adjusts according to the strength of the enemy he must hit; the stronger the opponent, the greater the power he can unleash.

However, in Misaki Shokuhou's view, these things are incomprehensible to Misaka Mikoto and Saten Ruiko, who are on the scientific side.

She was able to understand it entirely because she had seen Inoue Hideka's memories, which contained several million words of the original A Certain Magical Index content, and it couldn't be explained in just a few words.

So Misaki Shokuhou didn't continue speaking. Instead, she straightened up, abandoning her playful expression that had been teasing Misaka Mikoto, and became serious:

"In short, just do as I say."

For the rest of the journey, the three did not speak again, each carrying their own thoughts, and headed towards England where Kamijou Touma was.

Before setting off, Misaki Shokuhou had already called Touma Kamijou.

He was still stranded in England at the time, trying to figure out a way to get to Russia, because Index had been taken to Russia by Right Flame, and Touma Kamijou was going to Russia to rescue Index.

So Misaki Shokuhou simply told Touma Kamijou to wait for him at the local airport, and that she would pick him up and take him directly to Russia.

Although Touma Kamijou had forgotten about Misaki Shokuhou again, it didn't matter. After Misaki Shokuhou briefly explained a few things, Touma Kamijou believed that Misaki Shokuhou was Inoue Hideka's friend.

The supersonic passenger planes in Academy City have a speed of about 7000 kilometers per hour, and the flight from Academy City to the UK takes only about an hour and a half.

When Misaki Shokuhou and the others arrived, Touma Kamijou was already waiting at the airport. After the plane landed, they took Touma Kamijou with them, and then the supersonic passenger plane flew non-stop towards Russia.

This time, it only took less than half an hour. The group had just gotten through the uncomfortable period of acceleration when the plane slowed down again. As a result, Touma Kamijou didn't even have a chance to talk to the three of them along the way.

He was still a bit confused and had no idea why Saten Ruiko and Misaka Mikoto had come here. For Kamijou Touma, it was unacceptable to involve ordinary people who were not magicians in the center of a world war.

Only after getting off the plane did Touma Kamijou, panting, ask Ruiko Saten:

"Saten, why are you and Misaka here? And who is this classmate?"

As he spoke, Touma Kamijou looked at Misaki Shokuhou with a puzzled expression.

In just a short while, Touma Kamijou had already forgotten who had called him two hours earlier.

Upon hearing this, Saten Ruiko and Misaka Mikoto were slightly taken aback. Then, recalling the story Inoue Eika had told them about Shokuhou Misaki and Kamijou Touma, they felt a pang of sadness.

Fortunately, Misaki Shokuhou was already used to this. She remained calm and even introduced herself to Touma Kamijou with a friendly smile, as if they were meeting for the first time:

"Kamijou-kun, nice to meet you. I'm Misaki Shokuhou. Please take care of me!"

"Oh... nice to meet you, Shokuhou-kun. So, what brings you here..."

Faced with the almost enthusiastic friendliness of the stunningly beautiful girl in front of him, Touma Kamijou was somewhat bewildered. Moreover, he was currently in a state where he had forgotten who had asked him to wait at the airport, only remembering that someone would pick him up and take him to Russia. Helplessly, he scratched the back of his head, waiting for an answer.

"Inoue was taken away by the Right Flame. We'll go into the details later. Let's find Sasha Chloezef now. Yes, the one who was once possessed by the Archangel Gabriel, Sasha Chloezef."

As she spoke, Misaki Shokuhou erased the supersonic passenger plane pilot's memory, then left some kind of mark in his mind before turning and walking out of the airport.

Over the next few days, Misaki Shokuhou and her three companions continued their search for Sasha Chloe.

Wherever Misaki Shokuhou passed through, she would search the memories of ordinary locals for Sasha Chloejef.

Fortunately, Sasha did indeed escape from the Russian Orthodox Church, just as in the original story, and was indeed guided by the Wind Ahead to the Allied State of Elizabeth to escape the pursuit of the Right Fire.

However, the two kept moving, and Misaki Shokuhou, along with Touma Kamijou and the other two, chased after them until two days later when they finally found Kaze and Sasha Chloejef dining in a restaurant.

The first thing that caught the eye was Touma Kamijou's striking spiky hair. Since all four of them were Japanese, they stood out quite a bit walking together. For a moment, upon seeing Touma, the wind in front of her thought it was some Academy City force targeting Russia, tracking her and Sasha. However, when she saw the look of surprise and delight on Saten Ruiko's face, she knew it wasn't like that at all.

She snorted coldly and withdrew her prepared attack.

"You're alive! That's wonderful!"

Saten Ruiko never expected to see the girl who invaded Academy City on September 30th here. The girl was seriously injured at the time and was later taken away by a man who appeared out of nowhere in a mysterious way.

Saten Ruiko had been worried about whether the girl would receive proper treatment, since the girl seemed to hate science so much. But now that she saw the girl sitting at the table eating perfectly fine, Saten Ruiko was relieved.

"cut!"

Ignoring Saten Ruiko's enthusiasm, the wind ahead turned its head to Kamijou Touma with a stern face.

The Wind in the Front knows Kamijou Touma's stance, since she invaded Academy City to eliminate the Phantom Killer, so it's only natural that she assumes that Kamijou Touma is the leader of the group.

The Wind Ahead wants to hear an explanation regarding their purpose in coming here.

At this moment, Touma Kamijou had never seen the Wind Ahead before, nor did he recognize the strangely dressed girl in front of him. Faced with the Wind Ahead's burning gaze, Touma Kamijou was a little embarrassed, stammering and sweating profusely—even on this snow-covered Russian border.

Misaki Shokuhou noticed Touma Kamijou's embarrassment and, as someone who knew the whole story, stepped forward and spoke to Sasha Chloe, who was completely encased in a tight-fitting straitjacket:

“Sasha Chloejef, there’s something we need your help with.”

Chapter 477 Shocking Change and Panic, the Archangel

Convincing Sasha Chloejef was no easy task; anyone would feel bad about being handed over as a substitute.

Furthermore, as a magician, Sasha Chloezef had already set up a mental barrier in her brain using magic, so Misaki Shokuhou's attempt to control her with her abilities was not feasible.

Fortunately, Misaki Shokuhou explained to Sasha that even if she summoned an angel as a medium, it would not affect her body. With the assurances from Ruiko Saten and the others, and with the help of the Wind in Front who secretly believed in Ruiko Saten and promised to protect her, Sasha finally agreed to accompany Misaki Shokuhou and the others on their trip.

But Sasha also warned the others that if anything went wrong, she would immediately abandon their promise and run away.

Thus, Misaki Shokuhou and the others finally reached the final and most important step of their plan—exchanging hostages with Right Flame!

The base of the Right Fire is not particularly far from this place, also located at the border between Russia and Ilissalina.

Misaki Shokuhou, along with five others, secretly headed towards the location of the Right Flame's base, based on her memory.

Fighter jets from both the Russian and Academy City factions, engaged in combat, flew overhead intermittently. This place was on the verge of war, so the group became increasingly cautious in their actions.

As Misaki Shokuhou and her companions walked, they were unaware that at a certain moment, in various corners of the world, a certain change was simultaneously taking place—

Florence is a city in central Italy.

People living near the church noticed a change that defied common sense.

The heart of the solemn church, that historic spire, was broken in two and then defied gravity, floating lightly into the air, carrying with it a giant clock that announced the city's time.

at the same time,

The massive spire of Mont Saint-Michel Abbey in France has been torn apart.

at the same time,

Many pillars of the Church of Santa Maria in Italy were uprooted.

at the same time,

The majestic and enormous pipe organ of St. Joseph's Church in India flew out.

……

……

With over two billion followers, the Roman Catholic Church has built numerous churches and monasteries around the world throughout its long history. These diverse architectural styles, reflecting varying styles, design philosophies, local contexts, eras, and cultures, have resulted in a wide range of architectural approaches.

At this very moment, the most important things flew out from these churches and monasteries.

It was as if they were being drawn by a magnet; all sorts of things flew toward a single point.

Towards Russia.

They flew towards the base located in the extreme cold region, where the fire was on the right.

Thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of cultural artifacts collected from various places have been gathered in one place and intricately interwoven. Unlike a jigsaw puzzle that needs to be reassembled from scratch, it's like a precision clock that generates tiny gears to fix itself, forcibly fitting together parts that were never meant to be used in this way, creating new functions.

Just then, a loud booming sound rang out beneath Misaki Shokuhou and the others. When they noticed the changes around them, they found themselves detached from the ground and floating in mid-air.

It was as if the ground within a radius of several miles was suddenly lifted up, and the people, along with the surrounding buildings, were forced to leave the Earth's surface.

And the ascent didn't stop; the scenery several miles away was receding into the distance, gradually being obscured by the ground that was rising with it.

Shokuhou Misaki's face showed surprise.

She was roughly certain that this place was already within the base area of ​​Right Flame, but Misaki Shokuhou never expected Right Flame to launch its plan so quickly.

According to the original work, the reason why Right Fire delayed the implementation of the plan until October 30th was twofold: first, to wait for Kamijou Touma's arrival, and second, to obtain another key item for launching the plan—the parchment.

So, does that mean the Right Fire has already found the parchment?

Or did he change his plans?

Originally, the parchment was obtained by Accelerator. Accelerator brought the parchment to the base of Right Flame. Right Flame obtained the information on the parchment by using the power of the Angel God who fought with her. Using her extraordinary senses, she obtained the information during the battle, and it was then accepted by Right Flame, who had a conscious connection with her.

So what's going on now?

Another question is whether the Right Fire used Inoue Eika as a medium to summon the angel?

At this moment, just as surprised as Misaka Mikoto and the others were also bewildered and at a loss.

Misaki Shokuhou didn't explain this to them clearly, and the group was completely baffled by this sudden change.

However, before they could even voice their doubts, they were thrown to the ground by the tremendous tremor beneath their feet.

Meanwhile, the ground beneath their feet, which had risen into the air and resembled a lonely little island, was rapidly expanding.

On the far right of the island, churches, walls, doors, and spires of different cultures and eras are forcibly gathered together, forming an incredibly complex shape.

There are ancient buildings there, some hundreds of years old, along with modern objects like railway tracks and pipes, lighting fixtures, and other things that should have been spare parts in a base on the ground.

Overall, it resembles a restoration project of an ancient church, a wonderfully integrated scene.

It's hard to say whether it's growth or mutual erosion.

At that moment, the group of people inside the gradually expanding aerial fortress heard the sound.
