Anime, Girlfriend Shokuhou Misaki.

"hiss--!"

Kamijou Touma, standing next to him, gasped and involuntarily took a step back.

Even Orianna couldn't help but feel a hint of fear in her eyes.

Magicians do indeed possess some extraordinary powers compared to ordinary people.

However, in terms of physical structure, she is still the same as ordinary humans, so the products of Academy City that are easy for ordinary humans will also be easy for her.

"the second."

Makoto Haramura casually placed the truth serum on the ground, seemingly without any intention of paying attention to the hygiene of the needle tip.

It doesn't really matter, since everyone who gets this injection will become an idiot anyway, so whether or not they get infected with bacteria is completely irrelevant.

A photograph landed directly in Makoto Haramura's hands.

"?"

"what do you mean?"

Oriana was completely baffled.

They just pulled out something so terrifying, and now they're pulling out a photo.

She admitted that the little girl in the photo was quite pretty and had a good figure, comparable to herself.

The problem is, she doesn't know this girl at all.

What's the point of threatening her with this girl?

"Oh, it's simple. Let me introduce you. This is my girlfriend."

“Academy City, Level 5 psycho-manipulation ability user.”

“If you don’t mind, I can also have my girlfriend turn you into a dog and tell me everything.”

"So, now, which option do you want to choose? The choice is yours."

With his cheerful and kind face, coupled with the smile that always lingered on his lips, he looked like a sunny and cheerful young man no matter how you looked at him.

But this sunny and cheerful boy brought Oriana no warmth whatsoever; instead, it was as cold as falling into an ice cave.

Neither of these options is a good one for Orianna.

One will become an idiot who can't take care of himself.

One is that her mind will be completely controlled, which is in some ways more serious than becoming an idiot, because it can completely erase her personality.

The ability users in Academy City may know nothing about magicians, but magicians know a great deal about the ability users in Academy City.

Although they always look down on ability users, an ability user who can reach level 4 is already considered a pretty good magician, not to mention level 5.

Putting everything else aside, if ability users were really that weak and helpless, Academy City would have been wiped out by magical forces long ago.

"Well, I think I have a third option."

After thinking for a moment, Oriana managed a forced smile.

What kind of choice is this? She doesn't want to choose either of these two options.

"Eh."

Seeing the obvious disappointment on Makoto Haramura's face, Oriana's panic intensified.

"Fine, then just tell me, explain everything clearly."

He picked up the truth serum from the ground and turned to sit on the bench next to him.

"If you're hiding something."

He held the syringe between his index and middle fingers, aiming the needle at Oriana's exposed chest.

"Then don't blame me."

Chapter 194 Eye-opening

It was an eye-opening experience, especially for Touma Kamijou, whose impression of his junior classmate had completely changed.

Stiyl, on the other hand, seemed completely indifferent.

After all, Haramura Makoto's situation was really nothing special for an old man like him who was a magician.

People keep talking about how dark the science side is, but the magic side isn't much better.

In the pursuit of developing new techniques and researching new powers, many people have also made sacrifices.

"All right."

"How stupid of you all to think that old guy is so easy to deal with."

"Is this what they mean by ignorance is bliss?"

In short, this woman was commissioned by Lidovia Lorenzetti of the Roman Catholic Church to infiltrate Academy City and create the illusion of a "Stabber's Cross" transaction with a third party.

In fact, Orianna would deliberately make intentional moves within Academy City in order to draw the enemy's attention to the city's interior.

The "Apostle Cross" is held by Lidovia, who is in a safe zone outside Academy City. She intends to activate the "Apostle Cross" outside Academy City when the time comes, thereby dominating the entire Academy City.

In this way, the conflict between the magical and scientific sides can be completely resolved, and the ordinary people of Academy City can be saved.

No matter how you look at it, this is a very lofty ideal.

In a sense, if these two women had truly succeeded, they could have avoided the inevitable future conflict.

However, these two women underestimated Aleister's true power and his control over the city.

That's an old guy that even someone as powerful as White Yaksha has to be wary of.

A few magicians, whom Haramura Makoto considers not even pebbles, dared to try and threaten Aleister with this.

That's simply the funniest joke in the world.

"Where is that woman now?"

"useless."

"Even if you want to find her, let's not even talk about the fact that she was already a hundred kilometers away from Academy City. Now that I've lost contact with her, she's probably already on a plane leaving there."

Why did Oriana so readily confess everything?

Firstly, no matter what, she couldn't keep this secret anymore; with this boy's methods, she had no chance of hiding it.

Therefore, rather than being miserably interrogated, it's better to say it this way and have a better outcome.

Secondly, Lidovia has definitely already left with the Spiked Sword, and there will be another opportunity to carry out the plan next time.

Save the lost lambs.

"Oh."

Makoto Haramura didn't even glance at Oriana. Instead, he took out the vocabulary book that he had just taken from Oriana from his pocket.

"Let me think about it."

"Simulating the flow of magic in this world, connecting the base point, that should be it."

"Cough, cough, cough!"

"Lidoviya Lorenzetti, you should be able to hear me."

Holding the word card to his ear, Makoto Haramura transmitted his voice to the other end connected by the spell, as if he were making a phone call.

“The fool who ruined my plans.”

A woman's voice came from the other end, and she was extremely rude from the start.

"Foolishness! Who are you talking about, you idiot?"

A cold glint flashed in Makoto Haramura's eyes.

"Leave what you have in your hands, and I can give you a better ending. Otherwise, you'll regret not listening to me."

"You're quite the talker. Let's wait until you catch up with me and I'm already in the jet before we continue."

Lidovia laughed wildly, and the sound of the wind surging could even be heard from Haramura Makoto's side.

Do you really think this is difficult?

Makoto Haramura chuckled, and magic emanated from his body, distorting space before him. The phantom of the golden bell appeared and disappeared, and he gripped the crimson longsword in his hand.

"The magic of this world is truly an unnecessary burden."

"This dawdling is enough for me to kill ten times over."

"I went to Lidovia."

In the pitch-black night, four thousand meters above the clouds, a giant iron bird flew.

"Humph!"

"It seems that the superhumans Aleister trained are all idiots who can only talk big."

"Indeed, the sheep of this city need to be saved."

A ferocious smile instantly appeared on Lidovia's face, but her tone remained as gentle as before, as if the anger in her heart had been completely suppressed.

"boom!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a man appeared out of thin air inside the cabin of the iron bird that had already taken off.

A moment of surprise flashed across Lidovia's face.

"The first thing I need to tell you is that although I am listed as Lv5, I am not a superhuman."

"If you think I'm only at that level, that proves your current situation."

Makoto Haramura stepped forward and, right there and now, under Lidovia's gaze, placed his hand on the cross-shaped object that Lidovia had brought, which was wrapped in white bandages.

“I will accept the Apostolic Cross.”

The Apostolic Cross, also known as the Ten Forms of the Holy Spirit, is the ten most powerful spiritual armors that the Roman Orthodox Church is proud of.

And the Apostle Cocoyasi, who is now in Makoto Haramura's hands, is one of them.

In fact, the Thorn Thrust Sword never existed in the first place. When he heard that it was a lie, Haramura Makoto knew it was fake, because even Index's knowledge had never found any trace of the Thorn Thrust Sword.

This weapon has always existed only in legends.

However, this apostolic cross looks exactly like a spear, and as long as it is within its range of effect, everything will develop in a direction that is favorable to the Roman Catholic Church, and other people will feel that being a member of the Roman Catholic Church is a blessing.

To put it another way, it means to completely dominate the territory within the established scope, including its geography, culture, and ideology.

It feels like Misaki Shokuhou Plus.

In the Middle Ages, the Apostolic Cross was launched in this way, and its effect was to establish the status of Christianity in the world today.

If Academy City were covered by this spirit garment, it would indeed be just as Lidovia said, completely ruling Academy City.

At the same time, the Roman Catholic Church will completely dominate the minds of people all over the world.

"correct."

He found his phone, fiddled with it for a bit, found a message, and then tossed the phone to Lidoviya.

"Look for yourself, you idiot."

"Even if I hadn't come, Aleister would never have let you succeed."

The power of space shredded the white cloth covering the object, revealing the hidden object to Makoto Haramura.

Inside was a pure white cross, over a meter long, with an exceptionally sharp tip—the kind of sharpness that could cut through iron like mud.

"Fireworks show?"

Lidovia was also immediately shocked.

A fireworks display that started at 6 p.m. and lasted until 9 p.m., covering the entire Academy City.

"It seems you already understand."

"Now it's time for me to deal with you, you piece of trash."
