Chapter 397 Kamijou Touma

In the Academy City, which is a collection of many educational institutions, the School Garden is also one of the most shining landmarks.

This is not only because it is a closed space surrounded by a huge fence, and it has a sense of mystery that even satellite maps are not open to the public.

More importantly, it is a large-scale industry jointly invested by five aristocratic girls' schools.

The favorable innate conditions, the naturally corresponding industrial chain, and the strong combination of many famous schools make this closed campus, even if it has the requirement of limiting female students, naturally grasp the best students.

Even in ordinary schools, the stay or departure of top students who can affect the admission rate can also interfere with the school's policies and decisions, and in the Academy City, this phenomenon is more prominent.

Because since the establishment of this technological city, the superpower development plan, as the core teaching subject, has always had an unshakable position.

From Level 1 low-ability people, Level 2 special ability people, Level 3 strong ability people, Level 4 great ability people, Level 5 super ability people, and Level 6 absolute ability people who currently only exist in theory.

It is through these black-box-like people with special abilities that the gap between theory and reality is shortened, and the Academy City can achieve a technological development that surpasses the times.

The better the students, the brighter the research objects and the speed of development. Under the virtuous cycle brought by elite education, the admission standard of the Academy House has become a hard condition for admission to the comprehensive ability to be judged as Level 3.

Although it seems to be in the middle, people with special abilities who have reached this level can already interfere with reality obviously. No matter which research institution they are in, they will not be regarded as worthless people. It can be seen that its requirements are harsh.

After ruthlessly rejecting the admission of a certain royal child who did not meet the standards, which caused diplomatic disputes, this concept of not being able to study with money and only cultivating elites made the Academy Garden even more famous.

A closed aristocratic girls' school, a young lady who received elite education, and a person with special abilities with a bright future.

Any of these conditions can attract the curiosity and pursuit of many people, especially for most students who are still in the age of teenagers.

Even if you can't enter the interior, there are still many people outside the exit of the Academy Garden.

In addition to students from other schools, there are also many girls wearing exquisite uniforms entering and leaving the school garden.

With elegant manners, reserved smiles, and beautiful faces without makeup, most girls are worthy of people's admiration for ladies.

Occasionally, there will be small groups composed of multiple girls, and the people around them will make a rustling commotion, as if they are very famous.

Although Roland didn't know any of them, he could understand.

Although the school garden can provide most of the material needs, it is not to cultivate caged canaries, and it does not restrict students' freedom to go out. For capable girls, it is normal to make a name for themselves during their school years.

Unfortunately, except for Tokiwadai Middle School, one of the five schools, these outstanding girls do not exist in his memory.

After watching for a while and not seeing the familiar people he remembered, Roland left here leisurely.

He didn't have any specific purpose, but came to the school garden just to look at the map near this landmark, plus a little bit of pilgrimage mentality.

Moreover, even if he met the characters in the original book, Roland didn't plan to do anything.

After all, those children have received elite education and are talented and plastic, but Roland didn't deliberately recruit them.

Now he is neither an emperor who needs to hold up the world and lead mankind and the future forward, nor a thug who is trapped by obsession and goes to extremes. He is just an ordinary superpower.

In Academy City, people with such identities are more common than vending machines on the roadside.

It is rare to get rid of the burden of being trapped on the throne, and Roland is also willing to live a little easier.

"It's the same as playing bad, but compared to the omnipotent god who can only stay on the throne, this kind of freedom is more to my liking."

After experiencing the wasteland where even the planets died and the fantasy filled with monsters and monsters, this near-future world gave Roland a different kind of freshness.

Especially now, there is no need to worry about the threat of the strongest god falling from the sky or the Supreme Angel's disciples killing at the doorstep in the next moment.

Although the demons are also very powerful, in this world where the version balance has been updated, the initiative of when to make this plan explode is more in the hands of Aleister.

In the plan that Aleister has fully revealed, there is still about a year before the arrival of the key node.

From the perspective of the immortal species, this may be just a short moment.

But perhaps because of the habits left over from the mortal period, or because of the understanding of the magnificence of time, for Roland, even if he does not use time so carefully, he still has enough margin.

Use the power of magnetic field rotation to bring more changes and possibilities, and lay the foundation for the future.

After finding the idea, this is just a step-by-step project.

Therefore, Roland is now completely in a sightseeing mentality.

He walked slowly on the clean road, enjoying the rare quiet time.

Although there were occasional glances around him because of his appearance and temperament, compared with the precedents left by many capable users who attracted attention, the emotions in those glances were only superficial.

"Next, should I find a research institute to be affiliated with first, or should I create a force myself..."

Roland was thinking as he walked along the tree-shaded walkway, observing the crowds of people at the intersection in front of him with indifferent eyes.

Just when he was about to step out of the intersection, Roland retracted his foot as if he sensed something.

At this moment, an eager figure was like a fish swimming against the current, struggling to squeeze out of the surging crowd and rushing straight towards the intersection.

If Roland had not stopped just now, he would have bumped into this figure without any courtesy.

But even if he avoided this situation, it wasn't much better for the spiky-headed boy who rushed out.

Now is the peak period after classes, and the famous school garden is nearby. In order to squeeze out of the crowd during this peak period, even if the young man is still relatively strong, he still needs to put in a lot of effort to do it.

Therefore, when the environment suddenly changed from being as crowded as sardines in the cabin to a vast sea and sky without any obstacles, the hedgehog-headed boy who had maintained his initial speed was unable to stop for a moment, and his movements could not help but stagger.

To stop this momentum, it is obviously impossible to rely solely on muscle buffering.

The only obstacles in front of him were Roland, who was still standing at the intersection, and the big tree on the lawn next to him.

In this seemingly stagnant scene, the spiky-headed boy who stared at this double-difficulty multiple-choice question did not hesitate at all and used his miraculous muscle manipulation ability to forcefully change the direction.

"Unfortunately!!! Bang——!"

Under the influence of inertia, before the spiky-headed boy's wailing full of sadness and helplessness was finished, he was forced to stop because of the close contact between his face and the big tree.

Because this series of actions was so coherent, in Roland's eyes, it was more like a funny drama than an accident.

But Roland didn't intend to just stand aside and watch the show.

Whether it was due to the instinctive kindness of the hedgehog-headed boy just now, or the other party's behavior just now, he could not easily ignore this encounter.

Changing the direction of choice for the first time can be said to be a physical instinct.

But after making this choice and before hitting the tree for the second time, excluding the time when the body is dominated by inertia and unable to adjust, the remaining time seems to be a long time even if it is calculated in an instant. The impact posture with the least damage cannot be explained by ordinary circumstances.

This has gone beyond the realm of perception, to the point of predicting the future, right?

And to be able to achieve this level of prediction in a world full of phase sparks, this is quite an incredible technology in the field of magic.

In the category of Noble Phantasms that can be sublimated by technology to some extent.

But the spiky-headed boy in front of him could achieve this with only a mortal body, which was really surprising.

It also has a familiar look, which makes it difficult to ignore.

Black hair, medium build, slightly muscular, with an attitude between a boy and a young man.

The wildly raised hair style seemed to be based on popular magazines, and was specially fixed with hairspray, but it didn't look free and easy, but in the end, it just gave the impression of a somewhat conspicuous hedgehog hair.

"You're not hurt, are you?"

Roland said this, his eyes gradually became sharper and brighter, and he stretched out his hand towards the hedgehog-headed boy.

"Well……"

Under the reaction force, the young man sitting on the ground shook his head in confusion.

Although the injury sounded serious from the sound, as Roland expected, he had no injuries except for the red mark on his face.

"I'm really sorry! I was too anxious."

The hedgehog-headed boy, who quickly understood the reality, stretched out his right hand in embarrassment, took the hand that Roland handed over, and stood up.

Apart from the words about misfortune, he had no comment on his unfortunate experience just now, as if he had long been accustomed to it.

"It doesn't matter, I wasn't hurt anyway."

Roland shrugged needlessly, glanced at his hands thoughtfully, and smiled slightly.

"What's more, I saw such a rare scene. Strictly speaking, I earned it."

"Ha ha……"

Although this kind of speech was a bit harsh, the hedgehog-headed boy breathed out a sigh of relief. Compared with making a fool of himself, it was more important to him that it did not affect others.

"I'm Roland. I just came to Academy City today. Are the students here usually so busy?"

"My name is Kamijou Touma..."

Because of Roland's teasing words, Kamijou Touma rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment.

"Although the course is not easy, it shouldn't be like this for others. It's just that I'm unlucky."

"Unlucky...does what happened just now happen often to Kamijou-san?"

"Rather than saying it often, it's better to say every day."

Despite his perseverance and optimistic character, Kamijou Touma also felt a little sad when it came to this painful point.

"It was the same today. I subconsciously took a small road because I had something urgent to do. As a result, I was chased by bad guys. When I finally got rid of them, I found that I had reached the opposite direction of my original destination. As a result, I had to go back against the rush of people. Hurry..."

Kamijou Touma spoke in a rather plain tone, an experience that would make people block out comforting words, make those who hear it sad, and those who see it cry.

Counting the calamity of just running into Roland, what happened to him in less than half an hour, in the eyes of outsiders, can only be explained by the fact that he was deliberately targeted by God.

If it were any other work, this would be the trigger for the birth of a super villain.

But for Kamijou Touma, this was just a familiar routine.

"I see."

Kamijou Touma's words were sincere, but to a stranger, it wasn't surprising that they seemed bizarre.

But Roland nodded clearly, without doubting the authenticity of the other party's words.

That performance, that name, and the power I just felt from that right hand are evidence that is stronger than any words.

With Roland's current status and cultivation, he could only prevent phase sparks from contaminating himself without breaking through the world.

As powerful as a demon, if he doesn't completely destroy the world, he will be hindered by the clinging web of fate.

But on Kamijou Touma in front of him, those floating phase sparks disappeared as quickly as snowflakes in the sun.

And all of this is because of the power that resides in the opponent's right hand.

Fantasy Killer.

This is not a superpower or magic.

It is a wish.

Beings at the level of demon gods can turn their phases upside down with a single thought. Even if they don't take the initiative to do anything, their thoughts and gravity are enough to unconsciously create miracles.

Fantasy Killer was born in the original phase due to the desire of many demons to repair and return to the original world. It is an irreplaceable miracle.

It is the backup of the laws of physics and the most fundamental reference point of the world.

Aleister's original purpose in creating Academy City was to create a stage to attract opponents and capture the spiritual equipment that once protected him.

Among the many plans he set up, Fantasy Killer is also an indispensable force.

"——You can only listen to this kind of words casually."

Aleister's words were not false at all. Even if the devil came to Kamijou Touma now, he could only see this truth, and then he was attracted by the power of fantasy residing in this right hand.

This is a strategy like darkness under the lamp.

Use the gorgeous shell of Fantasy Killer's power to cover up the real orb inside, covering up the essence of the boy named Kamijou Touma.

"Shen Jing conquers demons..."

Roland whispered in an inaudible voice.

In the world view of magnetic field rotation, this is how such existence is described.

A strong man without a natal star.
