After leaving the world of all NPCs

First, I felt all the blood in my body rushing to my cheeks, and they were frighteningly hot.

Mikoto subconsciously tried to turn her head to avoid the attack, but her body was unable to move as if it had been cast under a spell.

After a few seconds of stiffness and confusion, a sense of compromise that even she herself could not understand quietly grew. Her long eyelashes trembled violently for a few times, and then slowly closed.

The clenched fists also loosened little by little.

The princess of Tokiwadai tilted her head slightly, her body still tense, but she no longer resisted and accepted it all awkwardly.

162 A Certain Magical Index Style Schedule

July 25th.

One day later.

Ye Zuochen walked out of Tokiwadai with satisfaction.

Ok.

Although their body structures are derived from the same genetic template, Misaka Mikoto's stubborn and shameful reaction is completely different from Dolly's.

Reminiscing happily, he walked out of the heavily guarded access area of ​​Tokiwadai Middle School with ease.

In other words, he "walked" past the guards and students who ignored him.

Mirror flowers and water moons, this ability is really too convenient.

He distorted the senses of all living things, causing their subconscious to automatically ignore his existence, as if it were as natural as air.

Not only his life, but even the surveillance cameras spread across the streets and alleys could not leave any trace of him in the records. All the images captured was a harmless blank.

Walk around with swagger and unimpeded.

The afternoon sun was warm. Ye Zuochen put his hands in his pockets and walked slowly back to his place in Academy City.

A Western-style villa with a quiet environment.

Before anyone reached the door, they could hear the sound of arguing from afar.

In front of the villa's exquisite carved iron gate, two incompatible figures formed a sharp confrontation.

On one side was a huge man who was two meters tall.

It was none other than Kamijou Kaori's former partner, Stiyl Magnus.

Standing opposite him was none other than Kamijou Kaori.

The rare seriousness and subtle resistance on her face seemed a little frozen.

"...So, this is necessary!" Stiyl's voice was filled with impatience. "Oreos Isard's alchemist is at Misawa Academy. You are the most suitable person to pick up that guy and lure him over. This is the most efficient method!"

Kanzaki Kaori frowned slightly, "Stiyl, I cannot carry out this order. I am now a prisoner of my master. More accurately, I am a defeated general, a subordinate subjugated by the enemy."

"what?!"

Stiyl raised his eyebrows dramatically, his cigarette nearly dropping from his fingers. "Prisoners? Defeated generals?"

"Huozhi, is your brain damaged because your magical knowledge was taken away? Or did that bastard give you some mental suggestion?!"

"We are magicians from the Church of Necessary Evil. For someone like this who stole the Index, it's common sense to use every possible opportunity to achieve our goal, right?!"

"My mind is clear." Kanzaki Kaori's voice remained unwavering. "The master did defeat me. This is an indisputable fact."

"And he didn't inflict any insult or harm on me."

"More importantly, he protected Index and removed the 'collar' from her body."

"For this reason alone, I cannot consider him an enemy."

"And..." She paused, a subtle questioning tone in her voice, "Style, your presence here right now, does it mean that the English Puritan Church... has given up on redeeming me?"

Steele choked, his mouth holding the cigarette moved, and he was speechless for a moment.

He scratched his fiery red hair irritably, his eyes flickering, avoiding Kamiya Kaoru's clear gaze.

"...Redemption is another matter. The most important thing right now is to recapture Index. You and I both know that the English Puritans will never give up the 'Index of Forbidden Books,' and Academy City is giving it shelter. If things continue like this, I'm afraid it will escalate into a conflict between the forces of magic and science, and even trigger a new war. Although I hate to admit it, Oreos might really be able to deal with his dragon head..."

"Orelios Isard?" Ye Zuochen's voice suddenly interrupted the heated conversation between the two. "Is he also in Academy City?"

The moment this voice sounded, Stiyl Magnus' tall body suddenly stiffened.

An icy chill instantly shot up from the tailbone to the top of the head. The heart seemed to be grasped tightly by an invisible big hand and suddenly stopped beating. The neck was like a rusty gear, making a slight "clicking" sound and turned towards the source of the sound.

Just half a step away from Kamijou Kaoru.

Ye Zuochen had been standing there without him noticing. He raised his arm very naturally and casually placed it on Shen Lie Huo Zhi's shoulder.

Kamiya Kaoru's body tensed up imperceptibly the moment Ye Zuochen's arm reached over her. A faint blush appeared on her fair earlobes at a speed visible to the naked eye, spreading all the way to her neck.

But she did not dodge, nor did she refuse. She just lowered her eyes slightly, and her long eyelashes fluttered like butterfly wings.

The girl's thoughts were clearly revealed in these silent actions.

"you……"

Stiyl's throat tightened, and he subconsciously wanted to retreat, to create distance, to pull out the fire magic hidden under the rune card... but reason suppressed his instinct.

In front of this man, any rash action would be tantamount to suicide.

Ye Zuochen's eyes swept across Stiyl's horrified face. "Since you happen to be here, save some time and take me to see Oreos Isard."

Mirror Flower and Water Moon——start again!

Stiyl's scarlet eyes, which had been burning with vigilance and resistance, lost focus in an instant, turning a blank gray and covered with a thick layer of mist.

The ferocious expression on his face disappeared, becoming dull and calm.

The cigarette in his mouth fell to the ground without him noticing.

"...Yes. Okay, I'll take you there."

After saying this, Stiyl turned around and walked silently in a certain direction.

Ye Zuochen gently patted Shen Lie Huo Zhi's shoulder.

"Let's go."

Shen Lie Huo Zhi took a deep breath and followed Ye Zuochen silently.

Led by Stiyl, the three of them left the quiet villa area and walked through the streets of Academy City, where prosperity and desolation were intertwined.

The crowds and noise around them seemed to be separated from them by an invisible barrier, and no one noticed this strange combination.

Finally, they stopped at an unusually abrupt spot.

Before my eyes were four skyscrapers, towering in the dim glow of the setting sun.

This is the Misawa Academy City Branch.

Stiyl finally came to his senses and turned abruptly to look at Ye Zuochen. His expression quickly calmed down and he wanted to smoke a cigarette to calm down, but then he thought better of it. He then said, "You are so confident in yourself that you actually walked into a trap."

Ye Zuochen smiled and said, "Why, he is very powerful?"

Stiyl said calmly, "Quite the contrary. Aureos is an alchemist who isn't good at actual combat. If he needs to fight on the front lines, he must protect himself with weapons and spiritual equipment. At his level, he would have to use dozens or even hundreds of magical items to catch up with my combat power. Otherwise, he wouldn't be called an alchemist."

"However, alchemists have a technique called the 'Golden Great Derivation', which is said to be able to change reality according to one's own thoughts, that is, to make one's wishes come true."

"However, the spell of that magic is far too lengthy. Even if the caster chanted it non-stop for a hundred or two hundred years, they wouldn't be able to finish it. There's no way the spell itself can be shortened, and it's even more impossible to pass it down from generation to generation in pieces. Therefore, humans with limited lifespans simply can't complete that kind of magic."

He looked towards Misawa Academy and said, "But he did it."

Upon hearing this, Ye Zuochen simply raised his eyebrows and walked straight towards the cold metal rolling shutter door that was closed like the teeth of a giant beast.

Kamiya Kaoru immediately followed his pace.

Stiyl looked at the two men's defenseless backs, his throat moved, he cursed inwardly, and followed them with gritted teeth.

Soon, they reached the top floor of the east building of Misawa Academy.

A vast lecture hall that has been transformed beyond recognition.

The huge space is like an ancient Roman amphitheater, or a luxurious but cold dance hall.

The black marble floor, smooth enough to reflect one's reflection, stretched out, surrounded by empty tiered seats.

In the center of the space stands a wide stage several meters above the ground.

On the stage, the only light source is concentrated here.

He was two meters tall, with green hair meticulously combed back, revealing a broad and full forehead. His face was well-defined. He was wearing a pure white suit tailored in Italy and expensive shiny leather shoes.

The neck was densely covered with tiny dot-like scars, which were the marks left by repeated insertion of gold needles over a long period of time.

Oreos Isard instantly locked onto Ye Zuochen and Kamijou Kaoru who were walking towards the entrance.

"It's you, the magician who imprisoned Index."

Ye Zuochen stopped and casually put his hands back into his trouser pockets. "Imprisonment? No, this is salvation."

"Didn't Stiyl tell you? The reason Index needs to have her memory erased every year is a magic set up by the English Puritans."

"I just kindly stripped away the magic and gave her the protection she deserved."

"Lies!" Aureos' voice suddenly rose. "Put away your hypocritical mask! Your motive is clear: you covet the knowledge contained in the 103,000 grimoires of the 'Forbidden Index'! I, Aureos Isard, will absolutely save that innocent child from the clutches of evil men like you!"

"Mr. Oreos, you misunderstood!" Kanzaki Touma stepped forward, "Sir Ye Zuochen is not an enemy! He did lift Index's curse, and..."

"Stop, Saint."

Oleos's voice rang out again. Just a few words seemed to become the absolute command for the operation of the world.

Kamiya Kaoru's body solidified instantly!

The violent power roared and surged within her body, but it was unable to break through this invisible cage.

Her body was frozen in place, unable to move even a finger, as if she had been instantly poured into ten thousand tons of heavy mud and frozen firmly on the marble floor.

And Oreos, who caused all this, simply maintained the elegant and upright posture of a performer, with the confidence on his face as solid as a rock.

"The mediocre in the magical world always look down on alchemists, viewing us as bookworms who only know how to hide in the laboratory to study 'formulas' and 'principles', believing that this is an immature discipline lacking practical application."

"But who truly understands that only alchemists can truly touch the root of the world and possess the authority to rule over all things?"

"True alchemy is far more than just a superficial technique of turning stone into gold! Its ultimate goal is creation! It is to create everything that exists in this world!"

"And its highest realm—"

Aureus opened his arms, as if he wanted to embrace the whole world.

"It's to simulate a complete and real universe in your own mind!"

"Understand every subtle, fundamental, and core law that makes up this world!"

"The earth, made up of mountains and rivers, plains and deserts; the microscopic dust particles and air molecules; and even the evolution of all living things..."

"If I could perfectly simulate and construct every grain of sand, every wisp of wind, every drop of water, every living soul in this vast universe, in the depths of my own consciousness..."

"Then, an alchemist who can create all things is equivalent to mastering the divine power of creation! He will become - a true god!"

"Of course, such a grand goal is more difficult than one might imagine."

He changed the subject, speaking with the reserve of a wise man, "Even the Index of Forbidden Books, with its perfect memory, cannot fully capture every detail of a world in its memory."

"The wisdom of the alchemist, after thousands of years of accumulation and breakthroughs, has long found the ladder to the throne of God!"

"The ultimate result is a truly miraculous magic—the 'Golden Great Evolution'!"

A magic that can make the things imagined by the caster become reality, truly achieving the effect of "wishes coming true".

Unfortunately, this magic cannot be used in theory.

Because its spell is too long.

To use Oreos's words as an example, the so-called "Golden Great Evolution" is actually to simulate a complete world in the mind and turn the images in this world into reality.

However, even if one succeeds in doing this, in order to realize it, as the spell of this magical ritual that realizes everything, it also means that one needs to "say" everything in this world.

Every grain of sand on the beach, every star in the night sky, every drop of water in the river, and every individual among human beings need to be "spoken" out.

The time required for a person to chant continuously without sleep would take at least one or two hundred years, or even longer.

Therefore, no one could successfully perform the Golden Dayan Technique.

“But I succeeded!”
