A mob of clones

Chapter 713: Magical Index Mist River: The first step of the plan, kidnapping Fantasy Slayer

Kamijou Touma: "I know a person's bad luck always has a limit, and today I finally hit bottom!"

……

In the world of Magical Index, Academy City, the Discipline Committee Activity No. 003.

It was already approaching dusk.

Facing the red sunset, two figures slowly walked out of the door of the Discipline Committee Branch, and a burst of helpless complaints came from behind them.

"Next time you encounter a bad boy, don't be so harsh."

"You are still under observation. If you really can't do it, just run faster. With your physical strength, those guys shouldn't be able to catch up with you."

"Really? You've made us work overtime until now..."

Hearing the complaints behind him, Majin Kirikawa smiled and stretched out his hand and said perfunctorily, "I know, I know," while his eyes were looking ahead of him.

In front of him, Kamijou Touma, who seemed to have lost his soul, walked out of the door of the Discipline Committee's branch.

He looked like a candle in the wind, and it seemed that he would lose his life completely in the next moment.

Of course, it’s almost like losing one’s life completely, but it’s not that far off.

This time the recording process did not really take three or four hours as Heizi said.

The two of them arrived at the Discipline Committee Branch around three or four in the afternoon, and it was now a little after five-thirty.

It only takes about an hour and a half.

But the problem is that Kamijou Touma’s tutoring session is only two hours in the afternoon, so today’s tutoring session is completely canceled.

I heard that someone might ask about Kamijou Touma's experience.

If that were all, then it wouldn't be a big deal. After all, technology is advanced in Academy City, and almost everyone has a cell phone. The worst that can happen is that you can just send a message to the teacher to ask for leave.

Being taken away as a witness to take a statement is completely force majeure, and the teacher probably won't say anything about it.

Kamijou Touma is no exception to what normal people would think of.

When he was handcuffed by Shirai Kuroko and taken to the Discipline Committee, he resigned himself to his fate and planned to call his friend Blue Hair Earrings to ask him for leave for him.

The information about the make-up lessons this time was notified by the other party. Kamijou Touma himself didn't know which teacher was giving him the make-up lessons, so he could only resort to this last resort.

But when he took out his cell phone, he found that it was broken into pieces when he fell at the entrance of the alley.

Kamijou Touma's heart also shattered along with the phone.

Not only that, Kamijou Touma's cell phone wasn't the only thing that broke when he fell. The few coins he had left were also lost, and his student card went missing.

And it never hurts to make matters worse.

As a "coo coo" sound was heard, Kamijou Touma's entire appearance became even grayer.

Kamijou Touma: “Touma, I’m going to be hungry again…”

Looking at Kamijou Touma, whose soul was slowly coming out of his mouth and who looked like he was about to ascend to heaven, Majin no Index Kirikawa scratched his head with some embarrassment on his face.

Although Kamijou Touma's bad luck is a character setting, breaking his phone, losing his coins, and not knowing where his student card is are basically daily occurrences, and the final result is the same whether there is a Index of Magical Index or not.

But this incident was caused by him after all. The other party also had good intentions.

If he had not obtained the golden finger of the foggy space and encountered the current situation, he would most likely take emergency shelter, thank him a few words and give him some compensation, and then at most maintain a state of knowing each other but not too familiar with each other, without too much in-depth communication.

But now, because of the change in the situation, he has some different ideas.

Of course it can’t be considered a conspiracy, but there is no need to avoid it deliberately.

Seeing this, the Magic Index Kirikawa walked forward, stretched out his hand and patted Kamijou Touma's shoulder. When he turned his head, he smiled at him and said:

"I'm sorry for getting you into trouble today."

"Thank you for coming here to take a statement and help me prove my innocence."

"From your looks, you probably had something to do before this."

"Is there anything I can do to help?"

Hearing the words of the Majin no Index Kirikawa behind him, Kamijou Touma gradually came back to his senses from his gray state, and his body became colorful again. He gave the Majin no Index Kirikawa a helpless smile and shook his head.

"No, it's okay."

"It's just some small things. If you miss it today, you can still do it tomorrow. It won't affect it."

For Kamijou Touma, being hungry was indeed a small matter that he had already gotten used to.

Some time ago in the summer, he also experienced a power outage in the entire dormitory building, which caused all the supplies stored in the refrigerator to be destroyed overnight.

Then, all the eggs stored at home were destroyed. We went hungry for nine meals in three days. We relied on the help from friends to make it to the second month and barely managed to survive.

In comparison, the disaster before us is really nothing.

After all, I have no change left and can’t buy fresh meat, eggs, milk or vegetables, but the leftovers stored at home can still barely fill my stomach, right?
"It's fine……"

But being hungry is a small matter, but another thing is not.

He opened his mouth to comfort Magic Index Kirikawa, and while comforting himself, another thing involuntarily emerged in Kamijou Touma's mind.

That is to say, it is about making up for the lessons by myself.

The information about today's make-up classes was informed to him by his good friend, who just told him that there were make-up classes at school.

I didn't tell him which teacher was giving him the extra lessons.

There are two teachers who may give him extra lessons, one is the cute teacher Xiao Meng, and the other is teacher Huang Quanchuan Aiho.

In an instant, he imagined what might happen if he missed the class with these two teachers and went to make up the lessons tomorrow.

Teacher Xiao Meng is very soft and gentle, and there is a high probability that she will not do anything to herself.

But after being stood up, the other party will just look cute and cry angrily, reflecting on whether it is his own problem.

Other students who came to take extra lessons would start fighting with their arms and beat him to pieces with a friendly look on their faces.

And if it was teacher Aho Yomikawa, it would be even easier.

Kamijou Touma felt as if a revolving lantern would appear in his eyes just by imagining that punch of love that hit him on the head.

Thinking of the two cases that were almost certain to end up in the ICU, Kamijou Touma couldn't help but fall into a gray tone again.

"Unfortunately—"

Looking at Kamijou Touma in front of him, whose face was pale and seemed to be about to die in the next moment, but who kept talking and saying to himself - "This kind of thing is not your fault."; "I wanted to help without knowing my own limitations, but in the end I was not able to help at all, and even made things worse.", Magical Index Kirikawa sighed and reached out to pat his shoulder again.

"All right."

"This matter is my fault after all. It's getting late now, how about I treat you to a meal?"

"A dinner for you—"

These four iconic characters pierced into Kamijou Touma's brain like a sharp blade, and in an instant, some gray images in his mind were cut off by these words.

His growling stomach let out a cry of excitement at this moment, urging Kamijou Touma to quickly accept the other party's proposal.

The taste buds, which had not tasted meat for nearly a week, were also secreting saliva crazily at this moment, trying to drown out Kamijou Touma's will.

But morality eventually triumphed over appetite.

He was unable to help and instead called the discipline committee member, causing them to stay in the discipline committee branch with him for more than an hour. Kamijou Touma scratched his head in embarrassment for having wasted more than an hour.

"That's not good?"

"After all, I didn't help before..."

Looking at Kamijou Touma in front of him, who was eager but not willing to take advantage of a stranger he didn't know well, Majin Kirikawa snapped his fingers to attract his attention and said:
"What does it look like for a grown man to be so timid?"

"From the looks of you, you really need this meal."

"It's just a treat. I don't care whether I can help or not. At most, we can get to know each other later. Why don't you treat me once when you have time?"

As he said this, he stretched out his right hand towards Kamijou Touma and said:

"I think we haven't introduced ourselves yet."

"Hello, my name is Wuhe."

In response, Kamijou Touma was stunned for a moment, looking at the hand stretched out in front of him, then he quickly came to his senses, and his initial shyness disappeared from his expression, and he also stretched out his hand.

"Hello, my name is Kamijou Touma."

The two boys clasped their hands together, looked into each other's eyes, and just like that, they each made a friend.

……

After more than ten minutes, all the restaurants were relatively friendly to the public.

At this time, the restaurant was chosen by Kamijou Touma. Even if Majin Index Kirikawa's idea of ​​friends treating each other just now convinced him, he still couldn't let a friend he had just met treat him to a meal in a high-end restaurant.

As a result, two male students wearing different school uniforms appeared in front of a night restaurant.

"Hey, Kirikawa-senpai, you're already a college student, I can't tell at all."

Kamijou Touma was looking at the man in front of him. Although he was very tall, half a head taller than himself, he looked very young, with good skin and full of energy. He looked more like a high school student in adolescence than himself. There was an expression of disbelief on his face.

In response to this, Majin no Index Kirikawa shook his head and gave a general explanation of his abilities.

"These are all the results of my use of my abilities." "My ability is called Energy Increase, and its level is LV 1."

"My ability can be achieved by absorbing the energy that has risen from nowhere and then releasing it in any form."

"I can deliberately transfer a portion of energy to any tissue cell in the body, and control the proliferation, differentiation, and withering of cells through subjective regulation."

"And I continue to maintain the operation of my own abilities on weekdays."

"When I exercise, I will deliberately allocate some of my energy to the muscle groups that need to be exercised. This way I can get a hundred times better exercise effect than others."

"Under normal circumstances, the body's energy is regulated to form a barrier that cannot be observed normally."

"This way the sun's ultraviolet rays can't burn my skin, so my skin is as white as it is now."

"I can focus energy on the injured area to quickly remove foreign matter from the wound and heal my own wounds."

"It is almost impossible for me to get cancer or be infested by parasites, because I can directly control my own abilities and forcibly kill all cancer cells, not to mention foreign bodies like parasites."

"The only threats to me are bacteria and viruses."

"Cancer cells are part of my body after all, but bacteria are not. They are mixed with the intestinal flora. If I kill them all, it will also be a blow to my body."

"The virus is even smaller. It is impossible to observe it with my current superpower level."

"But even so, I have been basically healthy since I gained my ability, plus I can take human biology courses."

“This is the main reason why I am like this now.”

"By the way, because of my ability, according to the agency's calculations, my theoretical lifespan is twice the normal human limit, more than 240 years~."

After hearing the long speech from Kirikawa, Kamijou Touma was greatly shocked even though he didn't quite understand what he heard.

Kamijou Touma's biology is not very good, which can be roughly seen from the fact that he doesn't even understand how much knowledge the human brain can store.

However, he still interpreted the most valuable part of the words that Kirikawa had just said.

"LV1, times the training effect, rapid recovery from injuries, immunity to cancer and the most common parasites on the island, lifespan of more than years..."

Any of the above is enough to make Touma envious.

Especially the LV1 superpower. After all, Kamijou Touma is just a LV0 powerless person...

While feeling envious, Kamijou Touma couldn't help but think of the unlucky bad guy he met this afternoon.

The opponent's ability seems to have a training bonus effect and the ability to quickly recover from injuries, but the level has reached LV2.

A doubt suddenly arose in Kamijou Touma's mind.

"Um, Senior, you are so powerful, why are you still only level 1?"

"With your strength, reaching LV3 shouldn't be a problem, right?"

When I think of that guy with a face full of flesh, he must be over 2 years old just by his appearance, but he is only 3 years old. He thinks he can defeat the LV ability users with his trained body after the blessing of LV ability.

Look at the one in front of him, he is nearly twenty years old but only sixteen, but he took less than three seconds to knock down three people including the one with "accelerated metabolism", but the Magical Index Kirikaze is only rated as LV1.

Kamijou Touma felt that there was definitely something shady going on here.

In response, Magical Index Kirikawa shook his head.

"I can reach my current level mainly because of the long period of training I have been doing since I awakened my super powers."

"And my training is very scientific. In the early stage, I used a lot of scientific instruments to help me. It was not until continuous training that I gradually improved the precision of my ability control that I completely abandoned the instruments."

"And the bad guy's control over his own abilities is obviously quite low in precision."

"The reason why he became so old is probably because every time he activates his ability, he will cover his entire body with it, causing cells throughout his body to metabolize faster and age faster."

"As for exercise, it's just gym exercise like normal people."

"It's normal that you can't compare to me."

"The reason why I can only reach LV1 is because my energy output is not high."

"Although the energy required to bend a spoon is nothing to the human body as a whole, it is an extremely powerful force for some tissue cells."

"It can also have quite good effects when used in the human body."

As he spoke, Magic Index Kirikawa reached out and unscrewed the cap of a beverage bottle in front of him, took a sip, and began to comfort him:

"So don't worry too much about your ability level. As long as you study it carefully, low-level abilities can also produce high-level effects."

Hearing what Kirikawa said, Kamijou Touma just smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Senior, you think too highly of me. I am just a Level 0 powerless person."

"Forget about developing it. I don't even know how to use it."

"You are not honest, kid."

Magical Index Kirikawa didn't care about Kamijou Touma's modesty.

"When you held me in the alley earlier, I clearly felt that the internal circulation that had been going on in my body suddenly disappeared."

"Until you let go, the power will return."

"This doesn't seem like what you said, that there is still something without any ability."

Looking at the meaningful expression of the Magic Index Kiriga, Kamijou Touma scratched his head awkwardly.

"Senior, you misunderstood. I am indeed LV0."

"My ability is called Fantasy Breaker, and its effect is that I can use my right hand to eliminate unnatural phenomena caused by super powers."

Kamijou Touma looked at his right hand and sighed helplessly.

"But this ability only works on the right hand."

"There was a research institute that experimented with my abilities for quite a long time, but they still couldn't figure out the reason."

"My control over my abilities is almost zero, and my aim is so weak that even the most sophisticated instruments cannot detect it."

“There is no way to cause any extraordinary phenomena.

"So he was judged as incompetent."

Kamijou said this while taking a sip of his drink helplessly, with a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

"I have tried to develop my abilities over this long period of time, but to no avail."

"Maybe I am also the kind of incompetent person who is destined to have no future."

Just when Kamijou Touma was feeling discouraged, an arm suddenly patted his shoulder. He looked up and saw the smiling face of the Magic Index Kirikawa in front of him.

"Don't be so depressed."

"Just because something didn't work out before doesn't mean it won't work out in the future."

"Are you interested in coming to my lab to try other types of ability development? My dad is a PhD from the Computer Academy."

"To some extent, it was my father's idea that enabled me to develop my abilities to this point."

"I'll help you take a look then, maybe it will be different."

Hearing this, Kamijou Touma was somewhat tempted. After all, the typical example of the Majin no Index Kirigawa being defeated from below was right in front of him.

And in most cases, there is funding available for going to other research institutes for research.

But Kamijou Touma's funds are very tight this month. If he can get the subsidy from the research institute, this month should be much better.

But when it comes to really asking him to make a decision, he is a little hesitant.

After all, it was bad enough that he didn't help the Majina Index Kirikawa, but he was also treated to a meal by others and now he has to be taken care of by others, which makes him feel a little bad.

Seeing Kamijou Touma's hesitation, Magic Index Kirikawa immediately gave him another push, pretending to be unhappy and said:

“Kamijo-san, what’s the matter? You don’t believe me?”

Upon hearing this, Kamijou Touma immediately shook his head.

"No, I just feel that you are taking care of me again, Senior."

"But since you said so, I won't refuse."

As he said this, he raised the drink in his hand and stretched it in front of the Magical Index Kirikawa.

"From now on, please don't call me Kamijou-kun, just call me Touma."

In this regard, Magical Index Kirikawa naturally would not refuse. She also picked up the drink in her hand and reached out her hand to clink the drink in Kamijou Touma's hand.

As expected, colorful juice splashed everywhere.

"Then Touma, I will take you to the laboratory to register tomorrow. I hope you will give me more guidance in the next few days..."

"Hi! Senior——"

At this moment, Kamijou Touma had a smile on his face.

"I'm really lucky today..."
