Question, Understand, Become a Holy Lord

Thanks to this, even though Kamijou Touma's appetite is several times bigger than before, when he carefully calculates his expenses only for food, he finds that they are less than before!

"Martial arts are such a great thing. It's great that there is such a thing as martial arts in the world besides superpowers and magic." Kamijou Touma, who accidentally destroyed Index's [Mobile Church] this morning, exclaimed.

"Something's wrong, there's a smell of blood! And it's too quiet." Kamijou Touma stood in front of the door of the apartment building with a frown on his face, and he was keenly aware that something was happening inside the apartment.

Kamijou Touma placed the shopping bag in his hand at the door of the apartment, carefully stepped into the apartment that was already beginning to become unfamiliar, and walked towards the direction where the smell of blood was coming from.

"This direction is where I live. Oh no, it's Index!" After realizing that Index might be in danger, Kamijou Touma instantly accelerated, jumped out of the apartment building, and climbed to the floor where he lived in a few steps. He saw the figure surrounded by three cleaning robots.

"Index!" Kamijou Touma hurried forward to check on Index's condition. After discovering that Index was only injured and not dead, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He pressed his left hand on her body and used his internal strength to stabilize her injuries and prevent her injuries from worsening.

“Is it you, the guy who hurt Index?” Kamijou Touma, sensing the presence of another person behind him, turned around and looked at the person who came.

"I didn't expect you to be so perceptive. Yes, it was our magician who did it." There was a man standing at the escape ladder next to him. He seemed to have come up the stairs.

This fair-skinned man was nearly two meters tall and looked younger than Kamijou.

His age... probably the same as Index, around fourteen or fifteen years old. Judging from his height, he should be a foreigner.

As for his attire... he was wearing a black monastic robe like a priest in the church. However, even if you search the whole world, probably no one would believe that he was a priest.

Perhaps because he was standing at an upper wind position, the distance between Kamijou and him was at least fifteen meters, but he could already smell the sweet scent of perfume.

Her shoulder-length blonde hair was dyed a sunset red, she had sparkling silver rings on all ten fingers, hollow earrings on her ears, a cell phone pendant sticking out of her pocket, a lit cigarette in the corner of her mouth that was constantly shaking, and the most exaggerated thing was the barcode tattoo under her right eyelid.

It would be wrong to say that this man is a priest or a delinquent.

"The force was really strong this time." Stiyl felt a little distressed when he saw Index's injuries, but he pretended not to care in front of Kamijou Touma, an outsider, and said, "Although I know it was Kanzaki who cut her... but I didn't see any blood along the way, so I felt relieved."

Index was probably chopped somewhere else, and struggled to escape here, and finally collapsed to the ground. There should have been bloodstains everywhere along the way, but they were later cleaned up by the cleaning robots.

“But… why…” Kamijou couldn’t help but mutter to himself.

"Hmm? You want to ask why she came back here? Who knows, maybe she forgot something. Oh, by the way, when we hit her yesterday, she was still wearing a nun's hat on her head. I wonder where it fell off later?"

"Is it the magic power left in the hat that led them here? In order to prevent an outsider like me from being affected, she came back here to get the hat?" Kamijou Touma recalled what Index had said and understood everything.

“…You idiot.” Kamijou Touma said angrily. He was angry about what happened to Index, and even more angry at himself for destroying the [Mobile Church] and causing Index to be in danger.

“Why?” Kamijou couldn’t help but ask a question that he didn’t expect the other party to answer. “Why? Actually, I don’t believe in magic at all, and I can’t understand what kind of creature a magician is... But... in your world, there should be a distinction between good and evil, right? There should also be things that you want to protect and guardians...”

"You are a group of people, chasing a lonely little girl like this and seriously injuring her... After doing such a thing, why can you still insist on your own justice?"

"Are you done? If you are, I hope you can move aside. We need to retrieve that thing." Stiyl didn't care about Kamijou Touma's accusations at all, and just continued to speak coldly.

“Take…back…?” Kamijou Touma didn’t quite understand the meaning of this sentence.

"Hmm? Ah... I see. When I heard the word 'magician' from you just now, I thought you knew everything. It seems that 'that thing' is afraid of involving you in this incident, right?" The magician exhaled a puff of smoke and continued, "Yes, it is recycling. But to be precise, it is not recycling 'that thing', but recycling the 103,000 magic books that 'that thing' brought with it."

The magician swung the cigarette happily and said, "These 13000 books are very dangerous. If they are taken away by someone who can use magic, it will be troublesome. So we are here to protect them."

“You call this protection?” Kamijou Touma could no longer suppress his inner rage. “Whether it’s you, or the Kanzaki you mentioned, or some other fellow, I will defeat you all and make you regret everything you’ve done to Index!”

"My name is Stiyl Magnus. But at this time, maybe I should call myself FortiS93l..." The magician was not moved at all, just smiled slightly and shook the cigarette.

The magician then seemed to mutter something in a low voice, and with an expression as if he was introducing his beloved black cat, he began to explain to Kamijou: “This is my magic name. I think you may not have heard of the concept of magic name? I don’t know why... what?!”

"You talk too much!" Kamijou Touma's voice suddenly became louder in Stiyl's eyes, but in an instant he crossed the distance of fifteen feet and came in front of him, then punched him hard in the face.

Stiyl fell to the ground and couldn't get up again.

The battle took one second.

After instantly defeating Stiyl, Kamijou Touma quickly returned to Index and continued to use his inner strength to relieve her injuries.

"Damn it, why is there no signal on my phone at this time? Was it him who did this?" Kamijou Touma took out his phone to call for emergency help, but found that the phone showed that this place was out of service area. He had to carefully pick up Index's body and planned to take her to the hospital himself.

Not long after Kamijou Touma took Index away, a tall girl with a waist-length black ponytail appeared here. She was one of the less than twenty "Saints" in the world - Kamisaki Kaori.

She had a Japanese sword hanging from her waist, in its scabbard. It was a sword called "Lingdao", used in Shinto rain-praying ceremonies, and was over two meters long.

But calling her a "Japanese beauty" is not quite appropriate, because she was wearing old jeans and a white short-sleeved T-shirt. For some reason, the left leg of the jeans had no trouser leg at all, and her thighs were exposed. The T-shirt had the excess fabric tied at the waist, exposing her belly button.

He wore knee-high boots and even his Japanese sword was tucked into his leather belt, making him look like a sheriff in a western movie, except that his pistol was replaced by a Japanese sword.

Like the perfumed Stiyl, she was dressed very unnaturally.

"Luckily he just fainted... Looking at the traces of battle at the scene, Stiyl was killed instantly without even having time to use magic. Are there such strong people on the scientific side?" Kamiya Kaori's expression was a little solemn. Even if she was in normal condition, it would not be so easy for her to kill Stiyl head-on. The enemy was very strong!

"Are all the high school students in this place monsters? According to the information we investigated, he is just a Lv0, ordinary high school student who is evaluated as a "bad student who loves fighting." Or is this actually a conspiracy on the scientific side?" Kamiya Kaori felt a little uneasy. She realized that she might be involved in a huge conspiracy.

"Evans, what do you think?" After witnessing Kamijou Touma KO Stiyl with one punch, Aleister once again asked his guardian angel Aiwass.

"I can't understand." Aiwass shook his head, indicating that you shouldn't ask him.

The essence of the Imagine Breaker that resides in Kamijou Touma's right hand can be seen as the benchmark of the world that returns the power of supernatural powers to its original place. It is the crystallization of the wishes of all magicians, the desire to repair, restore, and linger on this world. Its ability is manifested in the elimination of supernatural powers based on the laws of physics, and all phenomena that are not constituted by the laws of physics will be completely eliminated.

Because of its existence, Kamijou Touma could not learn magic, nor could he become a psychic. However, this iron rule is now invalidated because of the two so-called martial arts secrets. The strength that Kamijou Touma has now displayed cannot be evaluated as "normal" in any way.

"There has been no progress in the research of the Sunflower Manual: Revised. The true nature of the so-called internal force is still unknown. As a skill, some of the moves recorded in the Fist of the North Star can be realized based on the calculation of the tree diagram, but research on the secret part is also impossible."

When Kamijou Touma was studying the secret books, the voyeur Aleister naturally would not miss this opportunity. However, although Kamijou Touma almost completed learning all the two secret books in just a few days, Aleister still could not find the door to martial arts.

"Kamijo Touma is not important. The greater the role he can play, the higher the success rate of your plan, right? The key still lies in that unknown existence. If my inference is correct, it is because of his consent that Kamijou Touma was able to do it. Without permission, we cannot step through that door no matter how hard we try."

Aiwass gave a reasonable inference based on his own understanding.

"The unknown existence who tamed the demon god, White Scar..." Aleister muttered the name silently.

There was basically no research on martial arts secrets, and there was no progress in gathering intelligence on Bai Hen. The only intelligence that [Hovering Loop] could collect was Bai Hen's behavior of "bullying boys and girls" in the Academy City.

Moreover, Aleister himself did not believe that the existence of the hovering loop could be hidden from the eyes of Baihen and the demon god Othinus. Even the few things he could see were deliberately displayed to him by the other party. Aleister was not naive enough to think that such information could be put into use.

"Um... this Phantom Hand is a very dangerous thing. Our Discipline Committee is investigating the Phantom Hand incident, so please hand it over to us. Also, miss, your clothes..." Hatsuharu Shiki's face flushed, and she tried her best to divert her eyes away from Othinus behind Baihen. Othinus's dress was a little too stimulating for her pure look.

Othinus had no intention of changing her attire because of other people's opinions. As a demon god, she was a willful being. How could she force herself to do so just because of some ordinary people's opinions?

Moreover, not everyone can detect her existence. Although she does not care about other people's eyes, Bai Hen dislikes her because it will attract annoying flies. So Othinus had to modify her status in the world according to Bai Hen's request.

"This thing is a treasure that can make me a Lv5 level super power user. How can I give it to you just because you say so? I've been using it for so long and I don't even know if it's dangerous?" The powerful person Bai Hen refused to cooperate with the work of the discipline committee.

Chapter 226: Beat it up with a rake

"I am the discipline committee member who maintains the discipline and law and order in this area - Shirai Kuroko. Sir, in the name of the discipline committee member, I ask you to hand over the Fantasy Hand in your hand and cooperate with our work. Also, regarding the issue of this lady's dress, I hope you can give a reasonable explanation for it." A girl with brown hair and twin ponytails appeared out of nowhere and put a coat on Othinus, and then said to Baihen seriously.

Shirai Kuroko has the ability of Level 4 spatial movement. As a discipline committee member, she has a strong sense of responsibility and justice. She admires Misaka Mikoto very much, even to the point of being almost perverted, and calls Mikoto "Sister".

"If you choose to refuse, don't blame me for being rude even if you are a Level 4 powerful person!" Shirai Kuroko frowned and gave Bai Hen an ultimatum. If possible, she didn't want to have a conflict with a powerful person on the street.

"Please correct me again. Strictly speaking, I am a Level 5 psychic with the Fantasy Hand. How can you be so rude to me?" Bai Hen challenged Shirai Kuroko while holding the audio of the Fantasy Hand in his hand.

"Just like this!" Shirai Kuroko activated his ability and appeared behind Bai Hen. He put one hand on Bai Hen's arm while the other hand reached out to the Fantasy Hand in Bai Hen's hand.

"Are you underestimating Level 5? Even though I'm a Level 5 who only relies on the Illusion Hand, there is still a qualitative gap between me and you as a person with great abilities." Under Bai Hen's control, the airflow blocked between himself and Shirai Kuroko's body, making it impossible for her to touch Bai Hen. Bai Hen then started to taunt Shirai Kuroko face to face.

Shirai Kuroko was not shaken by Bai Hen's ridicule. Seeing that the first plan had failed, she activated her ability again and disappeared from in front of Bai Hen. She brushed her hands across her thighs and turned the props tied to her thighs into sharp arrows that shot towards Bai Hen.

"It's useless." Small storm eyes accurately blocked the metal arrows and returned them to their original number.

"What a sophisticated ability! Could it be that the Fantasy Hand really made him a superpower like my sister? Damn it." Shirai Kuroko quickly dodged his weapon, thinking unwillingly.

Level 5 esper users are beyond her ability to deal with. In the Academy City of million people, there are only seven people who have reached this level. They are the strongest users who are capable of "taking on an army with their own strength."

Lightning flashed from behind Bai Hen. The strong electric current emitted from Misaka Mikoto's fingertips avoided the storm barrier wrapped around Bai Hen's body and hit Bai Hen accurately.

"Kuroko, let me deal with him, you guys leave here first!" Misaka Mikoto looked at Baihen, who was smokeless and unharmed, vigilantly, and signaled Kuroko to quickly take Hatsuharu and the others away from here.

'He just created a vacuum area by sucking out the air in front of him in an instant to defend against my electric shock. [Fluid Control] is really a troublesome ability...' Misaka Mikoto smiled as she thought about the trouble in her mind. She had been feeling annoyed because of Kamijou Touma recently and just wanted to vent. A Level 5 who became a punching bag because of the existence of the Fantasy Hand was perfect for her.

Even though the ability of [Fluid Manipulation] has a very bad restraining relationship with her discharge ability, the opponent is not a real Level 5. The unchangeable fact that the Fantasy Hand is just an audio clip is enough to make her, as the [A Certain Scientific Railgun], invincible!

"Want to escape? This is forbidden." A strong wind rose from the ground, and swept both Hatsuharu Shiori and Saten Ruiko, who were hiding not far away and watching the battle, into the sky amid their screams.

"Damn it, Kuroko!" Seeing that Baihen even dragged his friends into the battlefield, the thoughts that Misaka Mikoto had just had were instantly shattered, and she hurriedly called Kuroko to ask her to be ready to rescue people at any time.

"Yes, elder sister!" Shirai Kuroko, who had a tacit understanding with Misaka Mikoto, instantly understood Misaka Mikoto's thoughts, 'The moment his fantasy hand fails, take Hatsuharu and Saten away from here.'

"You're just a guy who relies on the Illusion Hand to reach Level 5 strength. Stop bragging here." Violent lightning spread from Misaka Mikoto's body, tearing the ground apart and raising dust.

"As long as he can block his vision and interrupt his perception for two seconds, it will be enough for Kuroko to take the two away." Misaka Mikoto's behavior at this time was not to attack Baihen, but just to ensure that when she destroyed the illusion hand, Baihen could not go all out and hurt Saten and the others.

With the smoke and electromagnetic force blocking them, Shirai Kuroko can use her ability to easily take the two of them away. What remains after that is to teach this arrogant guy who has turned back into a person with great abilities a lesson!

"Go back to Level 4!" She locked onto the device on Bai Hen's body that contained the audio of the Fantasy Hand, and then destroyed it precisely through electromagnetic force. This was something that only she, as the [A Certain Scientific Railgun], could do easily!

"Now!" At the moment when Misaka Mikoto made her move, Shirai Kuroko, who was fully focused, instantly moved to the side of Uiharu Shikiri, grabbed her arm as she stared at him with tears in her eyes, and then immediately teleported in front of Saten Ruiko.

"Sorry, this is still a prohibited item." The wind blew Shirai Kuroko's body, causing her hand to pass by Saten Ruiko's body. She could only watch as Saten Ruiko was carried by the wind to Bai Hen's side.

"How is this possible?!" Misaka Mikoto was shocked. Even if Bai Hen hadn't lost control of his abilities due to the sudden disappearance of the Fantasy Hand, it would have been impossible for him to perform such delicate operations under his electromagnetic barrier after falling back to Level 4.

"You bastard, give Saten back to me. If you have the guts, fight me fairly!" Misaka Mikoto shouted angrily at Baihen.

"Huh? Don't you have my hostage there too?" Bai Hen pointed at Othinus, who was just standing by and watching the whole thing. Although her behavior showed no awareness of being a hostage, she undoubtedly met the criteria of a hostage as she was transferred away by Shirai Kuroko at the beginning of the battle.

Misaka Mikoto turned her head and looked at Othinus. Although their original intention was to protect this girl who might be coerced, the result showed that they took her away without confirming the relationship between Baihen and Othinus. It seemed that it was really their fault?

"This..." Misaka Mikoto's momentum stagnated, and she realized that something seemed to be wrong with the current situation.

"Sister, don't be fooled by this guy's sweet words! He was the one who obstructed public service first, used the Fantasy Hand and refused to cooperate with the work of the Discipline Committee." Shirai Kuroko, who brought Hatsuharu Shikiri back to Misaka Mikoto, found that Misaka Mikoto seemed to be really starting to waver, and quickly reminded her.

"That's right!" Misaka Mikoto came to her senses after being reminded by Shirai Kuroko. They appeared here to solve the problem of the Phantom Hand. This is the essence of the problem.

"So what? Am I any different now that I've lost the Phantom Hand you guys mentioned?" Bai Hen casually threw the tape in his hand aside, and the dense eye of the storm appeared between him and Misaka Mikoto again, but the operation of the eye of the storm did not cause any impact on the surrounding environment.

Misaka Mikoto and Shirai Kuroko fell silent after seeing this scene. With such a large-scale ability and such precision, the man in front of them was undoubtedly a Level 5 psychic. This matter seemed to be derailing in a direction they could not have expected.

"After all, this matter is nothing more than you guys thinking that I used the Illusion Hand, kidnapped my sister, and beat me up. Is this what you should do as a discipline committee member?!" Bai Hen pointed at Shirai Kuroko and made a severe accusation!

"Huh?" Shirai Kuroko was dumbfounded. How did she suddenly transform from a law enforcer into a perpetrator?

"This, this, this... didn't you admit with your own mouth that you used the Illusion Hand? If you didn't do anything, why don't you just cooperate with our investigation honestly? If after the investigation it is determined that you have nothing to do with this matter, we will definitely apologize to you." A very bad feeling arose in Shirai Kuroko's heart.

"It is the most basic quality that you need as a law enforcement officer to fully investigate the target in advance and then start formulating an action plan after collecting sufficient evidence."

"Instead of arbitrarily defining me as a dangerous person who obstructs public affairs just because of my two angry words, if even casual words can be counted as evidence, then you should first arrest those hooligans who randomly refresh in Academy City. They are much more dangerous than me, Ms. Shirai Kuroko, as they want to destroy Academy City at any time."

Although what Bai Hen said actually didn't make sense upon closer examination, Bai Hen didn't intend to give Shirai Kuroko and Misaka Mikoto time to examine it in detail.

"But you still resisted law enforcement and attacked ordinary people..." Shirai Kuroko's mind was in a mess now, and Misaka Mikoto was not much different. No matter how smart they were, they were just little girls in junior high school. It was easy to fool them.

"Correction, the first to attack the general public, that is, me, was the third-ranked A Certain Scientific Railgun Miss next to you. I was in a passive defense state from beginning to end, and did not hurt even a hair of yours."

"It's this railgun. Although I look strong, I have always been weak and sickly. If I didn't have some ability to block her attack, I would have been lying in the ambulance now. I want to report it!" In the confused eyes of Misaka Mikoto, Bai Hen accused Shirai Kuroko.

Chapter 227 She also wants to thank us

The discipline committee members were holding activities in the activity room of the 177th branch.

Shirai Kuroko, Hatsuharu Saki, Misaka Mikoto and Saten Ruiko stood in a neat row, each with their heads lowered in frustration, watching their seniors in front of them apologize to the damn yellow-haired guy.

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. It was my failure to educate them well that led to today's accident. I apologize to you again for my negligence at work and their mistakes." Gufa Meiwei bowed repeatedly to Bai Hen who was sitting on the sofa with an apologetic look on his face.

"You guys too, why don't you apologize to Mr. Baihen quickly!" Gufa Meiwei scolded the four people who were standing aside as punishment.

"I'm sorry, it's all our fault. We have caused you trouble. I am really sorry!" X4.

Several people reluctantly bowed to Bai Hen and apologized. They were not stupid. After a brief adjustment, they realized that they had fallen into Bai Hen's rhythm and were trapped. But it was too late to react now, as Bai Hen had completely occupied the moral high ground.

"Accident, mistake? If an apology is enough, what do we need the police for? Oh, that's right, you discipline committee members are essentially in cahoots with the police, are you covering up for each other?" It's a pity that Bai Hen really has no sensitivity to cigarettes, otherwise it would have been more lively to blow a smoke ring in front of them at this time.

"You...you innocent victim..." Shirai Kuroko almost couldn't control his temper when he saw Bai Hen's aggressive look, but under Gufa Meiwei's stern gaze, he forced a stiff smile on his face and changed his words.

'Sigh~' Gufa Meiwei, who has more life experience, roughly understood the whole story after learning what happened from Chuchun. It was almost obvious that Bai Hen was trying to scam people, and it was obvious that he succeeded. If this matter was not handled well, the overall reputation of the Discipline Committee would be greatly affected.

What's more, the guy in front of him is very likely a newly promoted Level 5. To the bigwigs in Academy City, the value of a newly promoted esper compared to the value of a discipline committee branch is not a multiple-choice question. Even if this branch has a relationship with another Level 5, they will not receive any help even if they report it to the higher-ups.

'I hope he doesn't make any excessive demands...' Gufa Meiwei thought with some fatigue.

"Why, you seem very unconvinced. Are you going to use your status as the Discipline Committee member to bully an ordinary citizen like me? Well, what's wrong with abusing the power of the Discipline Committee member in order to protect Senior Sister Minglian who attacked ordinary people?" Bai Hen pointed fingers at several people from the moral high ground.

Misaka Mikoto could only remain silent about this. She knew that she was the one who should not talk too much right now, otherwise it would be easy for Bai Hen to find new excuses.

"This abominable ape, an underdeveloped yellow-haired baboon, a perverted lolita control..." Shirai Kuroko kept hurling all the vicious insults she could think of at Baihen in her heart, but a sweet business smile appeared on her face, "Sir, I haven't consulted beforehand..."

"Don't talk about these useless things, just tell me the conclusion. How do you plan to compensate me?" Bai Hen was here to make trouble, and the people on the opposite sides knew the whole matter well, so they just spoke frankly and entered the final negotiation stage directly.

"Hahaha..." Veins popped out on Shirai Kuroko's forehead and he felt like he could no longer suppress the anger in his heart.

"Then what kind of compensation do you think is more appropriate?" Gufa Meiwei quickly put Shirai Kuroko behind him and smiled at Bai Hen.

"If I hadn't been lucky and had the ability to defend against Miss Misaka's attacks, I would have spent the rest of my bright life paralyzed on a hospital bed. Not only would I have lost the ability to support myself, I would have even lost my dignity and wouldn't even be able to solve hygiene problems independently. Not to mention that I might have been ruthlessly expelled from the hospital because some guy abused his power for personal gain and refused to pay for my medical expenses, and I would have died miserably in the stinking garbage."

Bai Hen was crying and sobbing, as if the sad future was happening right before his eyes.
