Chapter 399 Shokuhou Misaki

Roland suddenly had a subtle premonition.

Judging from Kamijou Touma's age, the current timeline seems to be quite different from the original story in his impression.

And the major events in the original story are basically caused by powerful people who will not be confused by the phase sparks. Even if there are many twists and turns in the development, it will not affect the final result.

But the moment Kamijou Touma hurriedly left because of the name of Mitsuari, Roland's premonition suddenly became very strong.

It was neither a sign of good things nor a warning of bad things.

But in short, it was a change that would definitely exceed his expectations.

Kamijou Touma is the freest person in the world, so passive arrangements will not work on him.

Even Aleister can only put the event in front of Kamijou Touma and wait for those choices called coincidences that are born under the drive of his inner courage.

But it seems that because of meeting himself, a person who is free from the sparks, the most free coincidences created by Kamijou Touma on the choice seem to have more branches.

To be honest, Roland was happy to see this change.

Anyway, he had never experienced the so-called original work properly. Although there was no interference from the spirit contract this time, for the sake of the grand plan, he had to personally break the world destined by fate.

However... out of caution, when he was in a weak position, Roland would not ignore this change carelessly.

After all, there is a big difference between being a joker watching the joke and becoming the joke yourself.

Looking at the back of Kamijou Touma disappearing at the end of the street, Roland touched his chin and pondered for a while.

Was this encounter arranged by Aleister?

No, he could not interfere with Kamijou Touma's final thoughts, and he dared not let himself collide with him directly.

If there is any chemical reaction between us by accident, it will be troublesome to cause uncontrollable huge losses.

It seems that it is because of the actions of this person outside of fate that the phase sparks farther away have changed.

So Aleister will open the hovering loop without any concealment, and make temporary adjustments with the intention of taking one step at a time.

Moreover, even if this encounter was not a simple coincidence, it could only be that the essence of the god was attracted by the specificity of the magnetic field rotation.

Roland was still very confident about this.

The amount of energy that Fantasy Killer can eliminate at one time is limited. When targeting Kamijou Touma himself, this conclusion is still questionable.

But when targeting the supernatural outside, after a certain amount, this will be very obvious, and it often takes a certain amount of time to completely erase it.

Under the attack from both inside and outside, Kamijou Touma's talent will be released in another way.

And just now, his magnetic field rotation was not affected at all.

This is certainly not because the magnetic field rotation conforms to the law of physical phase, this is a real superpower.

The difference in performance is just a difference in priority.

The law of the Key of All Souls ensures that the power of the contract spirit is universal in multiple worlds. This is a rule written into the underlying logic of the world.

Even if Fantasy Killer's ability from the world reference point can use the principle that the magnetic field rotation theory is derived from the law of physics to make a fuss, except for special existences like Roland, everyone else will be treated equally.

But in the face of this perfect ability that advances in both magnitude and degree of interference, after reaching a certain number, this trait will eventually emerge like a cone in a bag.

In other words

——As long as the hoe is hard enough, you can always dig down the corner.

"Well, but I don't need to worry about this."

As long as the seeds are sown, even if he does nothing, Aleister will take the initiative to rush forward to let Kamijou Touma meet this opportunity, and then take the blame for himself.

As for now, let's consider some more realistic things.

For example, what to eat later.

Roland shrugged and walked to the other side of the street without any nostalgia.

——

Shokuhou Misaki stood blankly in the intricate underground street like a spider web.

The roads here are like a maze, with a sense of unreality like in a picture book.

Obviously in a familiar street, but don't know where you are going and where you are standing.

For those who have been officially confirmed as superpowers in this academy city that can be counted on one's fingers, such a mood may seem a bit strange to outsiders.

This was especially true when she was the strongest psychic in the city.

But Shokuhou Misaki felt from the bottom of her heart that such a judgment was too presumptuous.

Just as law enforcement officers who are often at the scene of a crime will unconsciously develop biases in their thinking, people who have been in contact with even dirtier human hearts for a long time cannot stand aside.

It was fine when she was involved in the conspiracy before and was too busy to think about such things.

But after everything was settled, the previous memories were like ice cubes that were pressed deep under the water and floated up again, vivid in my mind.

The most obvious result of this change was that the heat of Shokuhou Misaki's emotions was taken away.

However, she was not as resistant to everything as a shut-in, and her usual treatment of people was also very normal.

But it was like a candidate who worked too hard and became careless or relaxed after achieving the result.

After resolving the past problems and officially entering junior high school, Shokuhou Misaki fell into a state of slight depression, just like a trembling freshman suffering from May disease.

She didn't want to establish new interpersonal relationships at school, and she had no expectations for the future.

Because of the heavy memories in her head, she was so tired that she didn't want to care about anything.

Sure enough, I should give up my previous principles and use my ability to my heart to escape this burden, right?

Glancing at the remote control in her bag, Shokuhou Misaki's eyes moved slightly, but as usual, it seemed that something was blocking her fingers.

It's just that this time the resistance was more concrete.

The girl looked at the steaming summer and shook her head.

Even if she wanted to draw a conclusion, it wasn't now.

Whether it was rational cognition or the desire of human nature, it was enough to make Shokuhou Misaki realize one thing.

If she continued to stay in this hot summer, she would probably melt like ice cream before making a decision.

Such exaggerated associations made the girl's spirit slightly aroused a little desire.

Shokuhou Misaki glanced at the wall clock in the center of the street, and planned to make up for the forgotten lunch on the way.

So...

What do real rich girls usually eat?

This answer varies from person to person, but Shokuhou Misaki is very clear.

Due to her superior family background and outstanding talents, her living environment has always been very good, and it is even more so after she entered Tokiwadai Middle School in the school garden.

The high-end dishes cooked by professional chefs that ordinary people can't order at all are just ordinary food that the young ladies of that middle school are accustomed to.

But perhaps it is because of the sense of distance that Shokuhou Misaki has also heard that her classmates are curious and yearning for convenience stores or family restaurants, which are more ordinary places.

But for her, what she needs is more vulgar nutrition.

"We're here."

Looking at the store in front of her that is not remote but not popular, Shokuhou Misaki subconsciously raised a smile at the corner of her mouth.

It is a fast food restaurant that can be seen everywhere.

This kind of store that has been popularized in various countries is also quietly located in every corner of the Academy City.

For a place like Academy City, where the main ingredients are the replica edible meat produced by the agricultural building and indoor cultivation, more advanced natural ingredients are precious.

The bottled drinks and desserts in the coffee shop that she usually drinks are basically labeled in this regard.

Therefore, in the eyes of Shokuhou Misaki, this kind of fast food restaurant is naturally precious.

There is no need to worry about taking risks to reduce the cost of raw materials, nor will it give the meals expensive added value in the form of gilding.

There is no need to be nervous, and there is no need to let things like the world of rich girls take away your sensibility.

Throw away worries and excuses, and enjoy the taste that is taken for granted.

Although it may seem a little strange to familiar people, just like a thought-provoking aphorism, there are times when it does not resonate.

There are times when the advice of parents and teachers is strongly resisted.

There are times when comics or TV dramas that are generally worthless and meaningless can bring vitality to weak hearts.

For Shokuhou Misaki now, this is a perfect booster for her hopeless and self-degrading mental state.

Driven by the refreshing feeling in her mind, Shokuhou Misaki's eyes relaxed a little, quickened her pace a little, and walked towards the store door.

When she reached the entrance of the corner, she suddenly found that a strange boy was staring at the store sign blankly, mumbling something in his mouth.

"Although it is a chain store, the scope is a bit too wide..."

In such a few words, only strangeness and novelty were revealed.

Did he transfer from the outside world?

But there should be more fast food restaurants in the outside world. No, it is more surprising to be surprised by such things as fast food restaurants.

Where in the country is this guy from...

Because the Academy City is ahead of the times in terms of technology, it is not surprising that foreign tourists yearn for this place, and students are also proud of it.

But Shokuhou Misaki, who had seen the darkness deep in this city, had no feelings about this advantage, and even envied the simplicity of the outside world.

At least in such an environment, one still had to consider a little bit of humanity or conscience, even if it was only on the surface.

So, she just frowned and looked at the boy who was blocking the door of the store.

Although the other party looked only a high school student, he was not thin, but rather very strong.

This was especially true for Shokuhou Misaki, who had just entered junior high school and could only be described as slender.

This fast food restaurant was not big, and there were only a few tables for customers to eat in, and the exit could only accommodate about one and a half people.

Shokuhou Misaki squeezed in, but out of the girl's modesty, she didn't want to do such a troublesome thing.

There was no way.

Although she didn't want to abuse her ability, the girl didn't hesitate that much in her heart given her mood today.

Just as she looked into her bag and tried to control the boy in front of her to move out of the way, the other party seemed to have noticed her sharp gaze and turned his head back in time.

"Ah... Sorry, I was a little engrossed in watching it. I think I disturbed you."

Because of her own ability, she has seen too many people who are not what they seem.

Although she knew that judging people by first impression was not a good habit, Shokuhou Misaki had to admit it.

The smile on that decent face could more or less eliminate some unhappiness when facing women.

Since the other party apologized proactively, she did not intend to make trouble.

"It's okay."

After replying coldly, she took a step forward and wanted to walk directly past the boy blocking the door and enter the store.

But the other party's eyes were unconsciously locked on her, and he murmured subconsciously.

"Tokiwadai Junior High School... Hey, are you a student of that school?"

Shokuhou Misaki was not surprised that she was recognized.

As an elite school, Tokiwadai Junior High School has always been very strict in school rules, so she also wears a uniform outside the school.

Although she also knows that she is not mature enough in terms of feminine charm, because of her appearance and identity, she has encountered such things as chatting up.

With the words and deeds of her classmates, she also roughly understood the trick of rejection.

That is, don't respond.

As long as you walk past without any reaction before the other party finishes speaking, most men will leave in annoyance.

And if they still pester her, just call the security guards or fight back with your ability.

"I heard that the admission requirements of Tokiwadai are all Level 3 or above ability users. That's amazing. I accepted the invitation of the research institute and came to Academy City today."

Shokuhou Misaki's eyes paused for a moment, and she turned her head slightly to glance at the other party.

Transferred here to develop abilities now?

Although there is no specific age limit for the development of superpowers, it is more valuable to invest in ability development at a young age because children are more malleable.

After all, it is not something that can be achieved overnight from being proficient in ability theory to using formulas, especially after the mind gradually matures, and the cost will undoubtedly be much higher.

At this age, he was invited to transfer by a research institute. This guy's ability and quality seem to be very popular.

For others, this is indeed a condition that can attract attention, but for Shokuhou Misaki, who is still at the top of the pyramid in Academy City where 80% of students have participated in the superpower development plan, this level of achievement is really not worth mentioning.

So, she still walked past the boy without any hesitation.

Now the timing is also appropriate. The boy also took out his mobile phone and did not pay attention to her movements, as if he was checking something.

As long as she takes another step, the distance between the two will change from parallel to one in front and one behind, expressing her attitude of refusing to communicate.

Yes, just one more step...

"Speaking of which, the name of that institution is quite interesting. Obviously, other institutions are called research centers, development centers, analysis institutes, etc., but the name of that institution is unique."

The boy said with a smile.

"——The artificial room, they seem to call themselves that."

The next moment, Shokuhou Misaki stopped and stayed where she was, as if she was hit by a spell.
