The Legend of Level 0 in Academy City

There are still some drafts left in the manga, and I promised editor Sawada the sheet music, but now my hands are too busy to do so.

Looking at the red cross placed by the bed, Inoue Hideka felt it was necessary to make a back cover; it would be too strange to keep it tucked into her belt all the time.

Moreover, carrying a sword around so ostentatiously might get him invited for a chat by the disciplinary committee or security guards.

From the numerous business cards he had accumulated over the past six months, Inoue Hideka picked out one related to leather and dialed the number.

After stating his requirements, including the sword's dimensions, and demanding a high price for prompt production and delivery, Inoue Hideka hung up the phone.

This red cross is undoubtedly the thing that the voice mentioned was meant to keep for himself, but he doesn't know exactly how to use it.

Or is it really only good as a shield?

Another thing to consider is whether there are any other 'leftovers' in your body that you haven't noticed.

For example, after Sasha Chloezef was possessed by Gabriel, she retained a sensory power that caused her to feel a sense of pressure in her chest when she got close to other people's magic and spirit armor.

Of course, there is another important situation to pay attention to: what kind of fluctuations will the fact that one's body has been possessed by Michael cause on the magical side?

In particular, how will the Right Fire, which possesses the qualities of the 'godlike' Michael, deal with itself?

In the original story, the Right Flame, in order to summon the divine power Gabriel and perfect his 'Bethlehem Plan', forcibly kidnapped Sasha Chloezef and used her body to summon the power of the archangel.

If he knew his body was suited to summon Michael, what would he do?

While pondering the problem, Inoue Hideka sat on the bed and began to strengthen her legs with electric current.

The calves and arms have been strengthened; the next area to be strengthened is the thighs.

Before she knew it, it was already evening. Hearing a noise outside, Inoue Eika opened her eyes and got out of bed.

Looking out the window, Inoue Hideka noticed that it was already getting dark outside.

"Tears, are you just back?"

Inoue Hideka was a little puzzled as to why Saten Ruiko was only returning now. She had only accompanied Shokuhou Misaki to the hospital, yet it had taken her so long.

"Haha~~ I have something to talk to Shokuhou-senpai about, so please don't ask about girls' secrets!"

"Forehead?"

The more Saten Ruiko said this, the more curious Inoue Eika became about what they had done that afternoon.

Chapter 134 A Qualified Fantasy Killer

"Can't I really tell you?"

Undeterred, Inoue Hideka continued to ask.

"No way! By the way, does Yinghua's hand still hurt?"

Saten Ruiko seemed very happy; it appeared that she had a pleasant conversation with Shokuhou Misaki.

However, when Inoue Hidekazu's hands were mentioned, a look of worry inevitably appeared on his face.

"It's okay. You may not trust the medical technology in Academy City, but Dr. Gekota's medical skills are absolutely authoritative. He said that new skin will grow in a few days, so don't worry."

"Oh, that puts my mind at ease. What would you like to eat, Eika? I'm going to start cooking. Hmm? Aren't Yifang and Last Order home?"

"Huh? They were still there when I got home. But, have Ruiko become that close to Ichika? I was only gone yesterday."

"Hehe! Actually, he's very easy to get along with! It's just that, like Misaka-senpai, he's not very straightforward! As long as you treat him sincerely, he'll reciprocate with equal affection!"

"As expected of Ruiko!"

Inoue Hideka sincerely praised that no matter who the other person was, Saten Ruiko, this cheerful girl, always found a way to open his heart.

"Just make something simple. I'll go check on Touma's family and invite them over for dinner."

Seeing that Saten Ruiko refused to say what she had talked about with Shokuhou Misaki, Inoue Eika stopped pressing her for details.

Perhaps it really is a secret that only girls can keep, and for a boy like me to ask such a question would only make me annoying.

After walking across the street to Touma Kamijou's house, Inoue Hideka knocked on the door.

Knock knock knock!

Click!

The door opened, and Touma Kamijou appeared in the doorway, supporting Index with his head.

"Huh? Touma, did I disturb you?"

"No, no! Yinghua, you've come at the perfect time! Please save me! Index is still angry that I came back too late at noon. Please explain for me!"

"kindness?"

Looking at the scene before him, Inoue Hideka instantly realized that Index, who was starving, was punishing him because he had asked Touma for help.

"Explanation? Explain what? Touma came back so late at noon, did he leave Index all alone and go out to flirt with other women?"

Once Inoue Hideka had figured it out, he raised an eyebrow, a mischievous smile playing on his lips, and instantly betrayed his teammates.

joke!

Index is treating you this way because she loves you. How could you interrupt such a harmonious scene with your own words!

"Tom!"

Index released her grip on Touma Kamijou's head.

With a dark expression, he called out Touma Kamijou's name, his eyes flashing with anger.

Ah~m!

Then it bit down hard on Touma Kamijou's head.

"Aaaaaah! What a disaster!"

Inoue Hideka chuckled and slipped into Kamijou Touma's house.

Anime was still playing on the TV in the living room. Inoue Hideka sat on the sofa, picked up the remote, and casually flipped through the channels.

“Yinghua…”

With a face full of bumps, Kamijou Touma placed a cup of black tea in front of Inoue Hidekazu and looked at her with a very aggrieved expression.

Looking up at Touma Kamijou's resentful expression, Inoue Eika smiled nonchalantly.

"Well, well, Touma, don't worry about it! This is just our happy everyday life!"

"Ugh, you frenemy! I'm done with you!"

Kamijou Touma covered his face, looking utterly dejected, and made a sarcastic remark.

"Yinghua, I want to watch Mobile Suit Kanami, don't change the channel!"

Index was clearly still angry with Touma Kamijou, and this extended to her attitude towards Eika Inoue as well.

"Hmm... Ruiko is cooking. Index, tell her quickly if there's anything you want to eat, or it'll be too late!"

"Oh! Black hair is cooking? Index wants to eat saury and braised pork..."

Index heard that Saten Ruiko was cooking, and excitedly ran out while shouting.

"Well then, Touma. There's something I'd like to talk to you about."

After Index left, Inoue Hideka suddenly put down her teacup and looked seriously at Kamijou Touma.

"Huh? What's wrong, Yinghua? I was just joking when I said we were breaking up, you didn't actually mean it, did you?"

"No, how could I take such a thing seriously? I really have something very important to talk to you about."

"Oh!"

It was rare to see his friend so serious, so Touma Kamijou sat on the sofa, upright and looking at Inoue Hideka with a serious expression.

"Yinghua, just say what's on your mind. I'm listening."

"Um...if...of course, I'm just saying it's hypothetical, Touma, don't overthink it."

After carefully considering his words, Inoue Hideka continued.

"If something happens to me, I hope Touma can protect Ruiko for me. Can you promise me that?"

Inoue Hideka was not making a fuss over nothing, nor was he speaking without reason. He had considered it very carefully before saying those words.

The Right Flame possesses the attributes of 'Godlike' Michael. So, if you are possessed by Michael, will the Right Flame use you to summon Michael, or will it kill you to prevent other variables from happening?

Either way, it will definitely develop in a bad direction.

If he were to die in the events that followed, the only person he would be unable to let go of would be his girlfriend, Saten Ruiko.

The only person he can rely on is his good friend, Touma Kamijou, who is the main character of this world.

Although I had joked with Misaki Shokuhou before, saying that I was the protagonist of this world and that I was destined to live until the very end.

But that was just a joke. The only person who could survive to the end without any unexpected changes was Touma Kamijou.

"Hey? Yinghua, don't joke around. How could something like this happen to you?"

"I'm not kidding! Touma, all you have to do is answer me, 'Can I?'"

"no!"

?

Kamijou Touma's decisive refusal left Inoue Hideka bewildered and stunned.

"I don't know why Yinghua has such worries, but I will absolutely not allow anything to happen to her! Yinghua is my friend, and if anyone tries to take my good friend away from me, I will absolutely and ruthlessly destroy that fantasy!"

Touma Kamijou's expression was very serious, even somewhat ferocious, as he clenched his fist and shouted at Eika Inoue.

"Therefore, Saten-kun, it is of course Eika who should protect her!"

"Forehead……"

Inoue Hideka smiled helplessly as she looked at Kamijou Touma's somewhat chuunibyou (delusional) demeanor.

"I give up! Forget I said anything."

Was this considered being lectured by Touma Kamijou?

Really!

You really are a qualified fantasy killer!

The phrase that Touma Kamijou says most often when facing enemies is probably, "Kill this fantasy."
