Ordinary Kihara is the Strongest in Education

Laura said a lot of words in a breath of anger at Aleister's words. Even pure Japanese may not understand the grammar, but Aleister didn't say much...

"Well, if the words are just to show your unique style, then forget it... but if you are serious about it, I can also send you a Japanese teacher, after all, I am also The one who rules the city of learning..."

"I'm not bothered by this. Why does my lord have to work so hard for the tongue-in-cheek language of a small country in the Far East?"

Although he said that he didn't care, but after being scolded by Stiles for his spoken language not long ago, he was scolded by Aleister again. How could he not care? After all, there will be many places where Japanese will be used in the future. , of course, it is clear that the greatest bishop will not admit it ....

However, it seems that it is far more than just one or two people who are tricked by Tsuchimikado on the issue of Japanese and Japan.

"Then let's get back to the point. First of all, what I need to confirm is that there are really only two magicians who invaded Academy City?"

Laura didn't seem to understand what Aleister said, and looked at him with some doubts...

"In fact, my 'Kihara' has dealt with at least two magicians so far, but their identities cannot be determined at present..."

"Oh?"

three hundred and zero

"Interesting information, but unfortunately, we don't seem to be able to give valuable information in a short time, but just looking at the clothes, I think Academy City has guessed something, right?"

Laura looked at the picture Aleister had sent her of the dispossessed magician.

There are not many scars on the magician in the photo. The fatal wounds are basically penetrated through the chest by something like a huge drill bit. Although other parts are relatively well preserved, there are not many objects that directly indicate their identity.Of course, the obvious Indian features of the two have already explained a lot.

"Indeed, but I think your sect has some information."

"The 'Gate of the Gods' that was almost completely destroyed in Academy City last time was annexed by other associations not long ago, but I don't think it's uncommon for a few magicians to seek revenge. Makes sense."

Lola, who was sitting in a chair, had a whole row of gold and silver combs on her lap.

She chose a comb that had different lengths, widths, spacings, and so on.Treating his long hair like the strings of a harp, he carefully combed through the strands of hair with a comb.The length of the hair is longer than the height, and it is impossible to reach the end of the hair even if the hand is stretched out.So Laura gracefully pulled her hair closer with her hands, combed it carefully, and put it back on the floor.Blonde hair, showing a wavy scene.

After all the hair is combed, then change to another comb, and then change to another comb after all the hair is combed, she keeps repeating this action, as if the order of the combs also has great significance.

The only thing projected on her long hair was the moonlight penetrating the glass window and the light from the LCD screen placed on the preaching altar.

The screen and communication equipment were temporarily installed by a London school city cooperation organization.This was supposed to be Steele's job, but he's not in the UK right now.Kanzaki Kaori still knows how to operate a mobile phone, but if it is the assembly of this latest machine, she will probably just sit up and stare at the instruction manual, and finally stare at him with helpless eyes like an abandoned puppy. Own.

Thinking of Kanzaki's look, the corners of Laura's mouth rose unconsciously.But it seemed that he realized that his behavior was disrespectful, so he coughed lightly and turned the topic back to Aleister on the opposite side of the screen.

"My intention to contact you should have been communicated earlier, and now I will confirm it again. First of all, thank you for being willing to accept our rude request."

"If you're referring to the jet lag, you don't have to worry about it. It's about the time we're going to start work."

"I just want to say that it's also rude to interfere with your work hours."

Laura looked at the light reflected in her hair and said.

"Academy City should be the opening ceremony of a large-scale event right now. Since you are the leader, should you come to the stage to say hello?"

"Do you think I can let people see me like this?"

"Haha. That's right. It's really not polite to show such an appearance in the eyes of others."

The Archbishop of the Church of Necessary Evil in the Puritan Church seems to be interested in the situation on Aleister's side.

Only now did Laura turn to the LCD screen on the preaching altar.

The transparent cylindrical water tank was filled with red liquid, and a person was floating inside.He was wearing a green surgical gown.In any case, this look is not suitable for appearing in public.

Moreover, he should maintain this appearance for more than 1000 years in the future, right?Although there is such a statement, Laura can't understand the detailed principles. After all, the heretical science mastered by Academy City has long been beyond the level that the outside world can catch up with in 30 or [-] years.If it is often seen in public, people should notice the difference.But if you really want to do this, of course there are ways to change your name or appearance.

Laura Stewart's actual age also doesn't match her appearance.But she is not the kind of person who will use others as a mirror, but the type who ignores her own shortcomings and only laughs at others.

"Then I'm welcome. Because I'm running out of time, I'll keep it short."

The screen sighed,

"So the topic that has been spared for a long time has finally returned to the matter of the Academy City intruders?"

Laura nodded yes.

"I know that your side is now entertaining ordinary people, so the security must be looser."

Laura has experience with this sort of thing too.During large-scale celebrations such as parades or Christmas, if a truly watertight security system is deployed to protect important people, the movement of ordinary people will be stagnant, which will directly affect the operation schedule.There needs to be a certain level of "room" in order not to delay the trip.

"It was a magician who saw the needle and used it to attack Academy City. According to the information of the Anglican Church, it has now been confirmed that there were two intruders. They are important figures of the Roman Orthodox Church and the delivery person she hired."

"Delivery person? Let me confirm, is it a staff member for the purpose of fighting and sabotage?"

"Yes, the delivery man's name is Orianna Townsend. The one who hired her was Lidovia Laurencety. Their purpose was to trade in something."

Laura grabbed the document next to the screen on the preaching platform and waved it in front of the screen.The words on the document are very small, but since the other party is Academy City who manipulates unknown technology, he shouldn't say such rash words as "can't see clearly".

At least Lola kind of hoped to hear such a "weak" speech from the other party.

"First of all, Orianna Thomson. As her surname is, she was born in England: she should be Italian by now. Known as 'Track Blocker', she is one of the few deliverymen in the magic industry. This person's ability is not only good at hiding If you run away, even if you are discovered by the enemy, you will definitely be able to get rid of the pursuers.”

But to put it more correctly, Orianna is the kind of woman who will do anything if she can get rid of her pursuers.In addition, since she cannot fully grasp her behavioral tendencies, she will easily get rid of the enemy even if the enemy has prepared countermeasures through prior information.Orianna Townsend is the kind of magician who can break bridges, create seas of fire, lay down countless runes to block the footsteps of follow-up soldiers, and has many stunts.And she's also the kind of beauty who sometimes takes advantage of the weakness of the human heart.

From the fact that Orianna's original nationality is British, it is conceivable that when she was active in London, she had several violent conflicts with the Anglican Church.As the "Church of Necessary Evil" pursued Orianna, he was blocked several times by ordinary people who had nothing to do with magic, all of whom "proclaimed themselves her best friends."She is not an ordinary fighting maniac, and also knows how to use the "human wall" formed by ordinary civilians to easily infiltrate the crowd.

However, when it comes to mixing in the crowd, it seems that it is also a regular way on the magic side. After all, the plan for "The Gate of the Gods Falling from the Sky" also mentions similar countermeasures after being discovered.

However, this approach does have a pretty good effect when dealing with guys who need to take care of the general public.

"And Lidovia Laurenceti. She's an outlier in the Roman Orthodox Church. Known as Confession Tuesday. Her missionary activities are aimed at people on the fringes of society, known as the converted girl."

Unlike Orianna, she is a genuine Roman Orthodox Christian from the Holy See Vatican.With such a high status, she did not pursue "a place of her own", but felt that missionary activities around the world were more meaningful.

She is also "a woman who can do everything for missionary work", and even the silk dress and platinum cane presented by the Pope in order to reward her for her excellent deeds, she did not hesitate to immediately exchange it for travel.

These talents who were "saved" by Lidovia and assembled "in order to save more people" are all unfortunate geniuses who have never seen the light of the past, and most of them are criminals and cult admirers and other problematic figures in human society. .

It's not surprising that people like this should be executed, let alone discovering their talents, but Lidovia's characteristic is to collect such talents.

She not only has an excellent sense of smell to discover talents, but also has the ability to command and manage problem people.

Even the Roman Orthodox Church, which kills sinners and burns infidels when it encounters infidels, cannot arbitrarily attack people who are officially recognized as truly reformed.Lidovia's behavior is a thorn in the side of the high-level people who hate these problem characters.And for Lola, the largest bishop of the Anglican Church, she is also a tough opponent.

If they were blatantly training magicians, they would be able to stop them in a dignified manner, but if they were teaching the bible and prayers to the unfortunate people, those who hindered them would be regarded as villains.This is one of the most unpleasant and helpless parts of the magic side.

Perhaps for ordinary believers this is "the good of the clergy", but for the "higher", it is an unstable ticking time bomb.

"They're both very important people in your world, aren't they? I've never heard of them. What about the people who want to deal with these two?"

"I can't say it clearly. The most suspected person at present is Nikolai Tolstoy, a Russian ordained church. He is a bishop-level cadre."

Although Nikolai did not have the aggressiveness of "abolishing pagans" like the Roman Orthodox Church, he was a well-known and cunning figure who would actively take advantage of the fisherman when there was a dispute between the two organizations.

"Then in this incident, the item delivered by the delivery person is... Can you explain to us?"

"If you don't explain the name and shape, you can't track it."

Lola looked away from the screen on the preaching altar and let out a yawn.Sitting in a chair, she lifted a certain "object" placed on the floor.

"Is that a sword?"

"It's just a replica. I borrowed it from the British Museum. This replica has nothing but appearance and no magical effect."

Laura held a sword made of marble.The length is 35 meters, and the width...it should be said to be the guard of the sword. The left and right sides are [-] centimeters each, and the total length is [-] centimeters.The thickness is about ten centimeters in diameter.It is conceivable that there is no blade, and the tip of the sword is as sharp as a sharpened pencil.

"It's called Thrusting Hang Sword. I can't explain the detailed effect. I heard that the magic value and effect of piercing the dragon and pinning it to the ground are extremely valuable. If it falls into the hands of people who shouldn't have it, we will immediately be in trouble. The whole Britain could be drawn into the whirlpool of war."

The "Stabbed Hang Sword" is a spiritual item that can destroy a very important "pillar" in the church sect with one blow.As long as a certain sect is calmed down and destroys its "pillar", the surrounding hostile forces may attack in one fell swoop while the sect is weakened.

The "pillar" refers to the "saint" in the Cross sect.

"Stabbed Hangjian" can completely eliminate those saints who are equivalent to nuclear weapons in combat effectiveness and values ​​in the Christian society.

"Hmm. It's like a tactical weapon on your side of the world."

Aleister looked at the sword in question through the video camera and said:

"Can you explain what kind of danger this sword will cause if it is used in Academy City? Depending on the situation, it may be necessary to induce and evacuate the general public."

"Don't worry. This is a weapon that can only be used in the magical world. If it is used in your world, it will have no effect."

"I see. If you can explain its structure and principles in detail, we can also formulate some countermeasures."

"Oh. Residents in the scientific world can also formulate magic countermeasures? Is there a magician hiding in it? Or as a weapon against the magic side, has the science side started to develop it?"

"..."

"..."

Both sides were silent.Tension spreads all around like thin, sharp lines, as if it would break with a small movement like breathing.But there is no anxiety on the faces of both parties, and it even makes people feel that the two are enjoying it.

"Magic, ability person, there is not that big difference if you say different, under the premise of 'don't let him do unconventional actions', magician and ability person are both 'human', both are framed and 'human' A weak creature in the category, then even a bullet can stop his body functions."

Kihara Celestial's voice came from the crystal screen in front of Lola, and Aleister didn't seem to be displeased by Kihara Celestial's interjection... Or you can't get it from Aleister at all. Feel any emotion in the guy.

Lola said in a cheerful voice as if she flicked the tense thread with her fingers with a snap.

"Indeed, a magician is just a human who 'uses his own power'. If he is hit by a high-speed truck, he will be shattered if he doesn't have an anti-shock technique, so let's not do this useless restraint. Now Time is very precious, after all, such a dangerous person is still wandering in your Academy City, isn't it?"

She shook her head, her long hair swaying slightly like a blanket.

"The biggest problem in this matter is not Lidovia Laurent Jetti, nor Orianna Thomson, but the trading location of Thrusting Hangjian, which is in the center of your science camp, Academy City. "

"The enemy should have investigated beforehand. We can't make an exception and only let the English Puritan magicians enter the territory. In fact, because of the previous things, I don't have a good impression on the magic side."

Laura is not surprised by Kihara Celestial's statement. It is true that several incidents that caused Academy City to close down were the result of the private actions of one or a group of magicians. Excluded, from this point of view, the magic side is actually the loser.

After all, the two parties who were at peace in the first place suddenly broke the balance from the magical side. Although it was not the fault of the Anglican Church, Lola couldn't refute this point.

And in this matter, if the exception to the Anglican Church is released, other churches and organizations will also ask for "that grants us permission too".These people aren't all well-intentioned collaborators.Among them, some people may take this opportunity to invade the interior of Academy City and carry out various sabotage work.

In fact, it cannot be ruled out that the Anglican Church is a pure act of kindness, and maybe it will also leave some secret hand in Academy City?

The original situation is already very troublesome. If new fire is brought in, no one knows what kind of situation may develop.What's more, it is now during the Daba Star Festival, when many ordinary people and the media are present, both sides of course want to avoid chaos, let alone tragedy.

The same situation happened in early August when "Misawajuku" was occupied by alchemists.At that time, in order to prevent Oreos Isard's out-of-control behavior, Academy City had recruited the Anglican Church and the Roman Orthodox Church.But this time the situation is different.

Right now, during the Daiha Star Festival, many ordinary people came from "outside" Academy City.If Aleister asks, "It's up to us to decide who solves the problems that occur in our city", and the other party argues, "But there are also the people of our country among the tourists there. Our partners are guarded by us", Instead, it will lead to more confusion.

Of course, there are also power differences between organizations.

Academy City, the leader of the scientific world, is fundamentally different from the small forces in the wizarding world.In this way, of course, there will be differences in the influence of speeches, but this cannot force the opponent to be suppressed.

After rejecting the opinions of the small forces in the magical world, there will be larger organizations that will use this as an excuse to ask.Even if they can suppress their opinions, there will be a larger group opening later.In this back and forth, the problem snowballed and became bigger and bigger, and finally became the opposition between science and magic as a whole.

The Daiba Star Festival has attracted worldwide attention.

From the occurrence of the problem to the development, it should not take a day.
