Question, Understand, Become a Holy Lord

"Using steel wire to make slashing attacks, what an interesting little trick. But you almost ruined Index's lunch. You have to know that no store will be open in this weather. This makes me even more angry." After placing Index's lunch in a sheltered place far away, Kamijou Touma turned back to Rikkaori and attacked her fiercely!

After a short martial arts career, under Kamijou Touma's harmless appearance, the ferocity of a martial artist has long been dormant in his seemingly thin body. At this moment, this brutality is fully released with Kamijou Touma's angry punch, "Hokuto - Affectionate Face-breaking Fist!"

"Only Flash!" Kamijou Kaoru put aside her fear, concentrated her mind and drew her sword, using her special move 'Only Flash' that could only be performed by liberating the power of the gods, and slashed towards Kamijou Touma head-on.

"He dodged it?" Kanzaki Kaori couldn't believe it. The flash at the extreme distance just now didn't hit Kamijou Touma. What kind of monster is this? !

Kamijou Kaori, a member of the Church of Necessary Evil, the 0th parish of the British Puritan Church, is a top ten magician in London and a humanoid weapon ranked in the top nine among the less than twenty "saints" in the world.

The so-called "saint" refers to a person who is born with a magical mark similar to that of the "Son of God". Since the "saint" has similar physical characteristics to the "Son of God", they have obtained some of the power of the "Son of God" and can freely manipulate that power.

After releasing that power, Kamisaki, who becomes the "God Splitter," can gain abilities that transcend the mortal realm in a short period of time.

It has the speed to enter the realm of God and the ability to move faster than the speed of sound. Dodging subsonic bullets is no problem. It can complete actions such as drawing a sword out of its sheath and putting it back into its sheath in "one hundredth of a second".

However, although he can use some of the power of the "Son of God" because he is a "saint", the human body cannot bear such a huge force for a long time. For this reason, Kanzaki chose "Only Flash", a move that only requires the use of the power of the "Son of God" in an instant, as his ultimate move.

Kamijou Touma is very fast, and Kamijou Kaori in her normal state cannot match him. She believes that only after she releases the power of the "Son of God" can she surpass Kamijou Touma in basic attributes.

But at that distance, at the distance where the two were about to touch, even Kamijou Kaori, who had fully unleashed the power of the "Son of God", could not avoid this "Only Flash", so she was shocked and even frightened. In her eyes, Kamijou Touma was a monster that even surpassed the existence of a "saint"!

"Huh~" Kamijou Touma was also sweating profusely at this time. A huge crack appeared on his T-shirt. He was just a little bit away from being cut in half by "Weishan".

"She's totally different from that Stiyl, she's as strong as a monster!" Kamijou Touma's head, which was blinded by anger, calmed down a little at this moment. If he hadn't forced himself to dodge before Kanzaki Kaori drew her sword because of the huge sense of crisis in his heart, the outcome would have been decided at this moment.

Kamijou Touma, who had seemed a little overconfident because of his growing strength, has now returned to his original state of mind, and his martial arts, which had reached the highest level, has quietly begun to evolve towards a new realm.

The two people who thought that they were facing monsters did not dare to act rashly at this moment. The atmosphere on the field became more and more solemn amid the repetitive broadcasting sound.

As time passed, the clouds seemed to grow heavier, they rolled and piled up in the sky as if ready to burst into flames, and in the distance there was a rumble of thunder and an occasional flash of lightning, illuminating the inner structure of the clouds, revealing their complex textures and dynamic changes.

"Index is still waiting for the lunch I brought her. It doesn't matter if the lunch is cold, she will eat it anyway, but what if the wind blows it away?" After a long standoff with Kanzaki Kaori, Kamijou Touma had already begun to think of retreating. If he starved Index to help her vent her anger, he would be the punching bag.

More importantly, based on a feeling that Kamijou Touma didn't know how to describe, he seemed to be able to vaguely feel Kamijou Kaori's emotions and mood, which was a mixture of fighting spirit, fear, regret, pity and some complex emotions that Kamijou Touma could not interpret, but there was no malice in it.

Finally, the rain began to fall, a few drops at first, but soon it became a continuous rain curtain. The raindrops hit the windows, making a crackling sound, and the streets were soon flooded by rain, and the whole city was shrouded in a layer of mist.

"Oh no, will our lunch get soaked?" Kamijou Touma's heart skipped a beat, and the solemn atmosphere between him and Kanzaki Kaori was broken by the heavy rain that finally fell.

"Are you still going to fight? If not, I'll leave first. Index is still waiting for me to bring her food." Kamijou Touma mobilized his inner strength to isolate the heavy rain from his body while steaming his clothes dry. He turned and walked towards the direction where lunch was placed.

"Can you please listen to the story of me and that child?" After hearing Index's name again, Kamijou Kaori hesitated for a moment and caught up with Kamijou Touma's back, deciding to convince Kamijou Touma through conversation. After all, Index really only had a few days left.

"Only before we go back to the hospital. I'll decide how to treat you after listening to your story." Kamijou Touma picked up the shopping bag that was almost submerged by the rain. He changed his plan to run back to the hospital and instead walked towards the hospital in the heavy rain with Kanzaki.

In the pouring rain, a "bad student" with average grades and a love of fighting walked side by side with a kendo girl who looked very badly dressed on the road, listening to the bad girl telling a story about an unscrupulous bishop possessed by a demon who deceived a group of illiterate people who had not been to school much.

"..." When Kamijou Touma first heard it, he felt a sense of sudden enlightenment. He also felt sad for what happened to Index. He felt pity for her for being so optimistic and happy after experiencing so many misfortunes.

But the more Kamijou Touma listened to the following content, the more he felt something was wrong. Even if he was just an ordinary delinquent with average academic performance, he had become a cultured delinquent with the most basic scientific literacy after being influenced by the environment of Academy City.

The improvement in his martial arts has also improved his memory. The knowledge that used to serve as background music when he was slacking off in class is now constantly filling his brain. Compared to Kamijou Kaori, who may not even have attended school for a few days, this can be considered a dimensionality reduction attack.

"Excuse me, you... haven't been to school for a few days?" Kamijou Touma looked Kanzaki up and down again. Since he didn't understand magic techniques, in his opinion, didn't Kanzaki look like a typical bad girl who didn't like studying?

"Do you know what the situation is now? In three days, Index's brain will not be able to bear so many memories..." Kanzaki Kaori didn't know what Kamijou Touma was talking about. Immersed in her memories, she spoke to him excitedly.

"That's why I asked you if you have ever been to school. The human brain will not be damaged by this little bit of memory. Because of the 'complete memory constitution', only one year's memory can occupy 15% of human memory? Why have you believed such nonsense for so long?" Kamijou Touma interrupted by covering his mouth, asking the illiterate girl Kanzaki to listen to him carefully.

"You mean... I was cheated?" Kamijou Kaori pulled Kamijou Touma's hand away and said in disbelief.

"The hospital is just ahead. If you don't trust me, you can ask the doctor for his opinion."

"No, perfect memory ability will indeed remember all the junk memories, even the things you saw on the supermarket flyer last year, but the brain will definitely not be blown up because of this. They will only take all the memories of nearly a hundred years of their lives into the grave, because the human brain can remember one hundred and forty years of information." Quata, who looks very much like a doctor, explained to Kamisaki Kaori in a friendly manner.

“A person’s memory doesn’t just exist in one area. The memory area is divided into many places, such as the meaningful memory area that controls language and knowledge, the procedural memory area that controls motor proficiency, and the experience memory area that controls memories. No matter how many books you read in the library and how much information you gain in the meaningful memory area, it will not oppress the meaningful memory area that controls memories. This is absolutely impossible in brain medicine. It looks like you’re going to fail the memory development course, Kamijou-kun.”

“But if you are willing to let me study your body, I can make you fail the course without having to retake it~” The Soul Chaser scanned Kamijou Touma’s body with shining eyes.

Even without Aleister's physique, he could still see how excellent Kamijou Touma's body was, which was formed through acquired training. It was even transforming towards a more perfect direction. It was simply perfect material!

Chapter 230: In order to save people, I can only deep throat

"Haha... I'll try my best to pass." Kamijou Touma's scalp tingled under the scorching gaze of the Hades Chaser. He didn't have such a feeling even under the knife light of "Weishan", so he politely refused the doctor.

"That's such a pity. It would have been better if you had been a little more ruthless just now." The Underworld Soul Chaser who was rejected did not force it. He just shook his head and left. This unprecedented storm would keep him busy in the future.

"So do you understand? It was the supreme bishop who deceived you. The abnormality in Index has nothing to do with her absolute memory ability, and there is no need to erase her memory!" Kamijou Touma yelled at the distraught Kamijou Kaori, but he still tried to keep his voice as low as possible to prevent Index from hearing him come back.

Kamisaki Kaori's mind was in a mess. For a long time, she thought she was saving Index and everything was for Index's good, but in the end, was she actually hurting Index?

"Come on, let's go see Index." Kamijou Touma took Kamijou Kaori's arm and walked towards Index's ward.

"Wait, wait! I'm not ready to face that kid!" Kamijou Kaori suddenly panicked and struggled in Kamijou Touma's hands. Unfortunately, she couldn't resist the war god Kamijou Touma at all without releasing her "divine power".

"Touma! Do you know how hungry I am? Do you want to starve me to death?" As the door of the ward where Index was located opened, a thin figure in a hospital gown rushed towards Kamijou Touma's head with the powerful momentum of a hungry tiger pouncing on its prey.

Kamijou Touma took out a loaf of bread from the shopping bag in his hand at a speed that ordinary people could not catch up with, unwrapped it and stuffed it into Index's mouth. Then, before she hit him, he grabbed her collar with his left hand and used the force to stop Index steadily in front of him.

"Touma, you haven't been back for so long, and it's so dark outside. I almost thought something happened to you." Index swallowed the bread in two bites, staring at Kamijou Touma with tears in her eyes.

"Don't worry, I'm so powerful, how could anything happen to me?" Kamijou Touma felt warm in his heart when he felt Index's concern.

"Touma! The magician is chasing us, hurry up...knock her out!" Without any food to distract her, Index keenly noticed Kanzaki Kaori standing behind Kamijou Touma, and immediately planned to send out her own Pokémon, the War God Touma.

"Ah, I...that..." Being stared at 'fiercely' by Index, Kamijou Kaori was at a loss for what to do, and was eventually dragged into the ward by Kamijou Touma.

"Index, Kamisaki is not actually an enemy. The thing is, blah blah..." Kamijou Touma comforted Index with food while telling her the story of Kamisaki and the others.

Originally, the next steps should have been explained by Kanzaki, but Kamijou Touma saw that her mental state had not yet recovered, so he repeated it on her behalf.

"So that's how it is... Thank you Kamijou, and thank you Stiyl, thank you for always being by my side and helping me." After hearing everything, Index stood up obediently and thanked Kamijou Kaori.

"Have you, have you forgiven us?" A slightly trembling voice came out of Kamiya Kaori's mouth, and crystal tears were about to overflow from the eyes of this battle-hardened "saint".

"Of course, you are my friends!" Index showed a bright smile on her face, shining like the sun.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry!" Kamijou Kaori could no longer suppress her emotions. She hugged Index in her arms and apologized continuously.

"Be good, be good, it's okay now." Index reached out her hand and gently stroked Kamijou Kaori's hair. Even though she was wearing a hospital gown, she whispered to her to comfort her like a nun.

Kamijou Touma did not disturb the two of them at this time. Instead, he sat aside, took out a rice ball and ate it, silently thinking about how to solve the problem with Index.

'The fact that her memory ability was fully confirmed was just an excuse. The truth is that the church modified Index's brain so that it would burst if she stored more than one year's worth of memories. All of this was done to force Index to rely on the church for survival. At the same time, it also forced the magician companions around Index to follow the church's instructions.'

Kamijou Touma commented on this as a devilish trick that took advantage of the kindness and compassion of human nature. His favorability towards the Supreme Bishop of the Puritan Church, whom he had never met, immediately dropped below the critical value.

'...But, none of this matters now. 'Yes, none of this matters now.

What is the most important thing now? The most important thing now is only one thing - that is, what is the nature of the "collar" that the church imposed on Index and made her suffer so much?

If Academy City, which leads Kamijou and other psychics, is the pinnacle of science, then the Church of Necessary Evil, which rules over magicians, is naturally the pinnacle of magic. Magic also belongs to [supernatural power]. The [Mobile Church] that once existed on Index's body proved this fact to Kamijou Touma.

Then the next thing is very simple. Even if it is a miracle from God, it will be eliminated by Kamijou Touma's right hand.

"I think I found a way to save Index." Kamijou Touma interrupted the two people who were still hugging each other.

"What? Is it true, Mr. Kamijou?" Kamijou Kaori looked at Kamijou Touma in surprise when she heard that.

"I will use my right hand, the only right hand that can break all illusions, to smash the shackles that the church has arbitrarily imposed on Index!" Kamijou Touma confidently stretched out his right hand, which had not been used for a long time.

"Right hand?" Kamiya Kaori was a little confused.

"Maybe it really works. My [Mobile Church] was destroyed by Touma with just a slight touch." Index said to prove that what Kamijou Touma said was true.

"I see, Mr. Kamijou, you really are a hidden talent..." Kamijou Kaori implicitly placed her body between Kamijou Touma and Index, looking at Kamijou Touma with a subtle look.

"Hey, what's that look in your eyes? Are you serious? It was just an accident, an accident. I didn't mean to do it. Who knew that there would be magic on clothes? Index, please help me prove my innocence!" Feeling that he was being treated as a pervert, Kamijou Touma quickly denied it.

"Touma, h..." In response to Kamijou Touma's request, Index just turned her head away shyly, with no intention of defending him at all.

"Index!!!" Under the increasingly dangerous gaze of Kanzaki Kaori, Kamijou Touma shouted in grief and anger.

"Hehe." Index stuck out her tongue at Kamijou Touma behind Kamisaki, refusing to repent.

However, through Index, except for Kamijou Touma who still had to endure Kamijou Kaori's serious look of distrust in some aspects, the atmosphere in the ward had become much more relaxed than at the beginning, and several people began to formally discuss the feasibility of this matter.

"In other words, magic is cast in places that cannot be seen normally?" Kamijou Touma made this conjecture after Kanzaki and Index confirmed that there were no traces of magic on Index's body.

Kamijou Touma looked at Index's face again, her thin eyebrows, bright eyes, and delicate nose. But Kamijou's gaze did not stop there, but continued down to look at her cute lips with a slight oily sheen.

"Index, can you open your mouth?" Kamijou Touma glanced at Kamijou Kaori who had a bad look on her face and made a request to Index.

Deep in the throat, because there is no skull to protect it, in terms of straight-line distance, it can be said to be closer to the brain than the top of the head. And it is rarely seen by others, let alone touched by others.

“Ah——” Index obediently opened her little mouth, trying to let Kamijou Touma see the whole picture inside.

"It's here as expected!" Kamijou Kaori, whose vision reaches 8.0 and can still see what is happening 600 meters away even without using a telescope or magic, discovered the abnormality that Index mentioned before Kamijou Touma.

Deep in the dark red throat, Kamijou saw a black symbol, just like the strange symbols that appeared in astrology programs on TV.

“Index, I’m going to put my hand in, please bear with me.” It was obviously just a normal act of saving people, but under the pure gaze of Index and the watchful eye of Kanzaki beside him, Kamijou felt as if he was doing something full of guilt, which was really a bit hard to bear.

"Yes, it's my blessing." Index kept her mouth open and signaled to Kamijou Touma that it was okay.

Kamijou Touma carefully put his right hand into her mouth and felt the slippery touch of a completely different creature. The saliva was abnormally hot and stuck to Kamijou's fingers.

Kamijou Touma hesitated for a moment at the strange feeling of his tongue, but immediately decided to push his hand deep into her throat in one go.

"Ouch——" Perhaps because of the strong urge to vomit, Index's body shook violently.

With a snap, Kamijou felt something like static electricity on his right index finger.

thump—

A powerful force acted on Kamijou Touma's right hand. In order not to hurt Index's body, he did not choose to resist and let his body be pulled back a step by his right hand.

A few drops of blood dripped onto the quilt and tatami, making a ticking sound. The impact was like shooting a pistol at the wrist, and Kamijou Touma couldn't help but raise his right hand to take a look.

Due to the special nature of his right hand, this is the only part of Kamijou Touma that cannot be trained in depth, so the defensive ability of his right hand is not much stronger than that of an ordinary person.

Chapter 231 Under the Sunlight

Under the astonished gazes of Kamijou Touma and Kanzaki Kaori, Index's body sitting on the hospital bed began to tremble, and her eyes were glowing red. That was not the color of her eyeballs, but a magic circle as red as blood that appeared in her eyeballs.

"Oh no!" Kamijou Touma thought to himself, this is a hospital, we must not let Index destroy it.

Index's eyes shot out a terrifying and dazzling red light, which was blocked by Kamijou Touma's Imagine Breaker. However, the explosion still occurred in this small ward, and the strong impact turned the place into a mess in an instant.

"Kanzaki, if I can only meet Index one more time, I can save her, right?" Kamijou Touma, who knew nothing about magic, could only turn to the only magician on the scene for help.

"--Warning! Chapter 3, Section 2, Index-Librorum-Prohibitorum--The [Collar] of the Forbidden Index, the first to third barriers have been confirmed to be destroyed. Preparations for regeneration... failed. The [Collar] cannot regenerate on its own. Judging from the current situation, in order to protect the [Library] of 103,000 volumes, it is prioritized to fight off the intruders." Before Kanzaki could give an answer, Index's body changed again.

Index stood up slowly with strange movements, as if she had no bones or joints at all, like jelly stuffed in a plastic bag, and the red magic circles in her eyes shot towards Kamijou. Those were no longer human eyes.

There was absolutely no humanity in her eyes, nor was there any warmth that a young girl should have.

"That's right, if it was your right hand, you would be able to save Index!" Kamijou Kaori looked at Index in a posture that she had never shown before, and at the magic that she should not have cast, and the last bit of hope for the church in her heart was extinguished.

"—Successfully prepared to execute the most effective magic against a single intruder. Next, we will activate the special magic [Saint George Sanctuary] to destroy the intruder."

With a loud bang, the two magic circles in Index's eyes expanded and appeared in front of her. The two magic circles, each with a diameter of more than two meters, overlapped and moved as Index gently moved her head, as if they were fixed on her two eyeballs.

"……………………"

As if she sensed the impending crisis, after Kanzaki Kaori finished speaking, Index began to sing at a faster speed - a "song" that was incomprehensible to the human mind.

In an instant, the two magic circles centered on Index's eyes suddenly began to emit light and exploded. The scene was like a point in the air - near the center of Index's eyebrows, where a high-voltage electric current exploded and lightning flew in all directions.

However, what came out were not blue-white sparks, but pitch-black lightning.

Although it was totally unscientific, it looked like a crack caused by the tearing of space. Then there was another loud bang, and with the connection point of the two magic circles as the center, the world shattered like glass being hit. The dark cracks spread out in all directions again, shooting straight into every corner of the room.

Kamijou Touma and Kamijou Kaori quickly dodged to areas not affected by the pitch-black cracks to avoid being affected by this unknown attack.

These cracks seemed to be a barrier in themselves, preventing anyone from getting close to Index. There was some kind of pulsation inside the cracks, making a sound and expanding outwards.

There was a smell like that of a wild beast flowing out from the slightly opened dark crack.

At that moment, Kamijou suddenly had a feeling that was not theory, logic, rationality, truth, or even fallacy.

Rather, it was some more fundamental, almost instinctive part that was calling out. Although he didn't know what was hidden behind the crack, if he looked at it, just looked at it from the front, all the elements of Kamijou Touma's existence would seem to be destroyed.

The crack became wider and wider, and as the "thing" on the inside got closer and closer to Kamijou Touma, he felt as if his feet were nailed to the ground and he could not move.

“How can I stop here!” Kamijou Touma’s internal energy flowed throughout his body and then gathered on his feet. He moved around in this narrow space, avoiding cracks and rushed towards Index at the fastest speed in his life.

If I touch the girl in front of me one more time, everything will be over!

But at the same moment, as if in response to Kamijou Touma's behavior, the crack "opened" with a snap, and it felt like the hymen was forcibly torn apart. There was an inexplicable pain that extended to the depths of the huge cracks in every corner of the room. Something was looking at Kamijou.

With a loud bang, a beam of light came out from the depths of the crack.

The moment a white beam of light that seemed to dissolve even the sun shot towards Kamijou, he stopped without hesitation and stretched out his right hand in front of his eyes, "There is a patient in the ward in this direction, we must not let it go!"
