A mob of clones

Chapter 722 Aleister: What an unexpected failure
Kamijou Touma: "When Senpai said that, I thought I saw heaven waving at me."

"Then after the senior finished speaking, I found that it was true."

"My grandmother is right across the street and wants to take me away..."

……

The Magical Index World, Academy City, and the Grow-up Academy...

Changdian Computer Academy is one of the best academies in Academy City.

There are many research institutes here, and there are many stories within the research institutes.

For example, this year...

On the morning of December 11th, Kamijou Touma officially joined the Infinite Empowerment Research Institute and received his first subsidized salary.

The next morning, Misaka Mikoto, one of only seven psychics in Academy City, joined the research institute to train Kamijou Touma with the Magical Index Kirikawa. At the same time, she also received her first reward, a limited edition Quata badge.

On the same day, in the afternoon, with the permission of Majin no Index Kirikawa, Misaka Mikoto used hacking technology to investigate the movements of Majin no Index Kirikawa in recent months. After a visit and investigation, she followed Majin no Index Kirikawa home to check and make sure that there was nothing wrong with her. Then, she apologized to her.

He also formally asked the Magic Index Kirikawa for other application techniques of electromagnetic force, learned about the techniques related to electromagnetic generation of electromagnetic waves, and the applications of various different electromagnetic waves.

Later, on December 21st and December 23rd, Kamijou Touma and Misaka Mikoto temporarily left Academy City due to family reasons.

The research progress of the institute was temporarily suspended, and Magic Index Kirikawa returned to his original training life of going back and forth between home and abroad.

And the absolute ability evolution plan is still going on.

On the night of December 31st, the number of Misaka sisters who died in the Absolute Ability Evolution Plan officially reached three digits.

The one-on-one combat experiment period is over, and the curtain is officially raised for multiple Misaka sisters to besiege Accelerator in the laboratory.

The number of Misaka sisters dying increases every day, and the pressure on the Magical Index Kirikawa increases.

The number of death experiences we receive every day may even exceed double digits...

In order to quickly escape from this hellish life, the old father of Magical Index Kirikawa has been immersed in experiments wholeheartedly, striving to create enough Misaka sisters as early as possible, so as to escape the absolute ability user evolution experiment...

The following year, on the afternoon of January 3rd, while shopping in the Fourth District, Majin Kirikawa discovered that she was being followed, so she repeated the same trick and went to the Tenth District again.

Here, the people who were following the Majin no Index Kirikawa attacked him directly and launched a surprise attack.

The person who took action was a girl with a tall and slender figure and soft and flowing brown hair.

Majinajin Kirikawa has never seen the other party before. Her ability is a kind of extremely destructive high-energy ray. The atoms of the material of the object hit will uncontrollably break and release a large amount of energy.

Based on the opponent's ability, Magical Index Kirikawa deduced that the opponent was Atomic Collapse, ranked fourth among the only nominal superpowers in Academy City - Mugino Shenli.

Maizono Shenli’s strength is good, but he is not difficult to deal with for Magical Index Kirikawa.

Majinajin Kirikawa easily absorbed the opponent's atomic destruction ray, and directly controlled the opponent physically, and learned the reason why she attacked herself through mind reading.

Mai Ye Shenli explained that he came here because of a mission assigned by the Anbu.

The Anbu of Academy City is an organization similar to mercenaries in the world, who take money and do things for others.

This time is no exception.

The cause of the incident this time was that a Kihara in Academy City discovered the abnormality of the ability of the Majin no Index Kirikawa and wanted to conduct research. However, according to the information he found out, the Majin no Index Kirikawa never accepts research projects from outside laboratories.

It goes without saying that the Kihara clan is passionate about research.

Things that have been determined are not so easy to change.

According to his judgment, although the ability level of Magic Index Kiriga is written as LV 4 on the surface, its combat ability is probably comparable to that of an ordinary LV 5.

To be on the safe side, he spent a large sum of money to find IYEM, the Anbu of Academy City, and asked Mai Ye Shenli, the fourth-ranked psychic, to take action, hoping that she would capture the person directly.

At first, Maizono Shenli was not very interested in this kind of thing, but after the Kihara scientist sent her the information about the close relationship between Magical Index Kirikawa and Misaka Mikoto, she became interested.

Then there was this fight...

To this, the reaction of the Magic Index Kirikawa was also very realistic. He directly followed the network cable and rushed into Kihara's laboratory. The matter ended with the death of the instigator.

However, his intuition told Majin no Index Kirikawa that this matter was not that simple.

This is definitely the work of Aleister.

Although he didn't know what this guy was trying to do, Majin no Index Kirikawa still shot him a lightning arrow as a greeting.

……

On January 15th, Kamijou Touma, who had blocked his father's gambling luck, was driven back to Academy City again.

The origin plan continues, and Kamijou Touma's unfortunate life begins again.

On January 23rd, Misaka Mikoto returns.

After receiving the message in advance, Majin no Index Kirikawa was driven by his cheap old mother to go and greet him.

On the way, he met Misaka Mikoto's mother, Misaka Misuzu, for the first time, and was teased by her in the identity of Misaka Mikoto, but was caught by Misaka Mikoto halfway.

In the end, Misaka Mikoto shyly pushed Misaka Misuzu away, and the show ended with Misaka Misuzu teasing her while pulling the Majutsu no Index Kirikawa away with a blushing face.

On the same day, with the return of Misaka Mikoto, Kamijou Touma's already unfortunate life was further compounded.

The intensity of training returned to that before the Chinese New Year.

And they cried out in misfortune during training, and went home happily with the subsidy after training...

……

On February 17th, a certain high school and Tokiwadai Junior High School officially opened.

Kamijou Touma and Misaka Mikoto have to face their not-so-easy studies and no longer have time to train in the laboratory every day.

Kamijou Touma temporarily escaped from the life of being beaten every day.

At the same time, Misaka Mikoto and Shirai Kuroko met each other for the first time in a real sense.

During the same period, the number of deaths of Misaka sisters officially reached four digits.

Every time Majin no Index Kirikawa's cheap dad comes to the laboratory, he can see the intimate actions of Majin no Index Kirikawa and Misaka Mikoto, and he feels even more guilty.

On March 1st, the father of Magic Index Kirikawa visited his student Fusuka Toshinori.

It was unknown what the two of them said.

After the incident was over, the two of them still did nothing and devoted themselves to their work with peace of mind. However, two seeds sprouted in their hearts...

On March 7th, when the adopted father of Majin no Index Kirikawa was on his way to Tokiwadai to meet the adopted mother of Majin no Index Kirikawa, he met the mind-controlling Shokuhou Misaki on the way.

The two passed by each other without any abnormality...

……

Time flies and it’s April...

Kamijou Touma was roasted by ten thousand fires again today. He felt like he had been made into a skewer. Finally, he ran out of the laboratory with flames burning on his forehead.

He looked at the clear sky in front of him, even spread his arms, thinking back to everything he had been through in the laboratory, and finally felt alive again.

Feeling the vitality all around him, he could hardly suppress his ability to raise his head and let out a loud roar, in order to vent the surging emotions in his heart.

Since it was still school season, Kamijou Touma could only come to the laboratory once or twice a week.

Fortunately, the electric shock girl was not in the laboratory today, and he did not experience the mixed doubles mode of husband and wife.

It's just the manual training of one person in Magical Index Kirikawa.

It was too easy for him who was used to the couple doubles mode.

Even though I got burned on the butt a few times, it was nothing compared to what I had experienced before...

Now that the difficult task is completed today, he can have a good rest for the whole week.

Such good news was naturally worth his shouting out to show his excitement.

"Mr. Kamijou Touma finally got lucky today!"

This would undoubtedly cause quite a stir, but the students of the Changdian Machine Academy, who had already started school, took a look and saw that it was the hedgehog-headed student, so they made a detour as if nothing had happened and had no intention of making contact with this weirdo.

However, Kamijou Touma didn't care about this. He was obviously used to it.

The longer you go to the Computer Academy, the more capable people there are. It cannot be said that there are people with high intellectual abilities everywhere, but it can only be said that the highly educated people are worse than dogs.

He doesn't feel at a disadvantage for Ma, a semi-illiterate man who doesn't even know how many books his brain can store, to be half a monkey here.

Anyway, we are not familiar with each other. How can we lose a piece of meat if others look at us a few times?
Just as Kamijou Touma was stretching his back and was about to leave, a voice called him from behind.

"Touma."

Hearing the voice, Kamijou Touma turned his head and looked behind him, seeing Majutsu no Index Kirikawa slowly walking out of the teaching building.

Seeing the Majinajin Kiriga catching up with him, Touma had a puzzled expression on his face.

Before he could ask anything, the Magic Index Kirikawa spoke first to block his mouth. "Touma, from today on, you don't have to come to the laboratory for training anymore."

There was no doubt that what Kirikawa said was like a bolt from the blue, hitting Kamijou Touma's heart and leaving him stunned on the spot.

The next moment, without any hesitation, he let out a loud "Ah", threw himself on the Majin Kirikawa, hugged his thighs and cried loudly.

"No, senior, I still want to work hard in the lab."

"What shall I do if you drive me away—"

Kamijou Touma has really become thick-skinned recently, and his "Ah" cry attracted a lot of people's attention.

He did not react at all to the strange looks from the people around him, and continued to hug Majin Kirikawa's thigh, leaving Majin Kirikawa speechless.

"Alright, alright, stop howling."

"Who said I was going to kick you out of the lab?"

As soon as Magical Index Kirikawa said this, Kamijou Touma, who was in the mood for acting, stopped crying instantly and showed an expectant expression on his face.

"What does senior mean?"

In response, Magical Index Kirikawa said: "We are now basically able to adapt to the frontal combat training conducted in regular laboratories."

“It doesn’t make much sense to train in the lab anymore.”

"So you won't need to come to the lab regularly for training in the future."

"But don't worry, you won't lose any subsidy."

Upon hearing this, Kamijou Touma was immediately overjoyed, and his eyes began to light up with little stars.

"Really?!"

“Is Kamijou-san’s lucky life finally about to begin?!”

Thinking about the future where he wouldn't have to get beaten every week when he was in school, and wouldn't have to go for electrotherapy every day during holidays, and could just sit at home peacefully, easily get subsidies, and live a happy life, Kamijou Touma felt like he was floating in the air.

"It's a wonderful life~, Kamijou-san is coming."

But Touma's fantasy did not last long. With just one word, Kirikawa sent him from heaven to hell again.

"From now on, the experiments will be conducted outdoors."

"I will launch a surprise attack on you at any time, in any place, at any event, or under any circumstances."

"Whether you are shopping, sleeping, eating, studying, going to the toilet or even masturbating..."

"I can strike you across a distance at any time and anywhere."

"And all you have to do is get used to my hitting,"

“As for the deadline, it starts now.”

Each of Majutsu no Index Kirikawa's words were like bombs exploding in Kamijou Touma's heart.

At the same time, Kamijou Touma's mentality, which was already on the verge of breaking point, also exploded...

At this moment, a forced smile appeared on his face, and he wanted to use the same trick again to hug Majin Kirikawa's thigh and beg for mercy.

But how can the same move be used twice against a Saint Seiya?
Majina no Index Kirikawa dodged his bear hug with a quick move.

Kamijou Touma said with a bitter face: "Senior, can we have a discussion?"

Magical Index Kirikawa: "No!"

Kamijou Touma: "Unfortunately——"

Looking at Kamijou Touma with a bitter face in front of him, Magical Index Kirikawa smiled without saying a word.

What Kirikawa said to Touma was not a lie.

The first phase of the experiment is indeed over.

Majina no Index Kirikawa felt that his body was like the origin before the Big Bang. It had no size, no height, no matter or energy. But it did exist in his own world, an origin that was distinct from everything else. He then tentatively released his power.

In an instant, truly endless power from countless quadrants of heaven and earth surged into his body.

At this moment, the Magical Index Mist River seemed to have turned into the deepest black hole in the starry sky.

No matter whether it was a huge star or a tiny atom, no matter whether it was a vigorous and brilliant star or a steady and heavy neutron star, none of them were unexpectedly attracted and swallowed by it.

Only the vacuum as the background remains in the starry sky.

Majina no Index Kirikawa watched the dispirited Kamijou Touma leave the Changdian Computer Academy.

Just at this moment, Misaka Mikoto hurriedly walked in from outside the academy. Seeing Majina no Index Kirikawa standing in front of a teaching building, she was immediately delighted and ran over quickly.

If you look closely at Misaka Mikoto at this time, you will find that she did not "run" over directly, but paddled over.

The rough ground under his feet was like an open ice rink. With faint blue electric light flashing on his body, he moved in an unscientific way in front of Majin Kirikawa and gave him a big smile.

"Look, Kirikawa, I've accomplished the setting you proposed earlier about using electromagnetic force to eliminate friction."

"Not only that, I also combined magnetic fields and magnetic effects to create a technique that allows me to move at high speeds."

Misaka Mikoto raised her head proudly as she spoke, like a little kid who had finally gotten a fun toy and was showing off her achievement to her friends.

“Now I can eliminate most of my frictional effect on the world.”

"Now that I am on the ground, I can easily achieve and maintain subsonic movement as long as I accelerate for a period of time."

“I am no longer the person I used to be.”

Misaka Mikoto said this and pointed to the Magical Forbidden Mist River in front of her with a proud look on her face:

"Let's fight again! Wuhe, I won't lose this time!"

Looking at the confident expression on Misaka Mikoto's face in front of him, Majin no Index Kirikawa couldn't help but reveal an inexplicable smile on his face.

The next moment, he reached out and grabbed the raised hand of Misaka Mikoto in front of him, and put his other hand on her head.

"Be good, don't make trouble."

The intimate action of Majin no Index Kirikawa instantly stunned Misaka Mikoto. She stood there in a daze. Three seconds later, red rushed from her neck to the top of her head. Then she hurriedly waved her hands to try to knock away Majin no Index Kirikawa's palm.

Knowing that her power generation ability had no effect on the Magical Index Mist River, she subconsciously used the recently developed method of reducing friction to slide out of the Magical Index Mist River.

But the next moment, she was surprised to find that she could not use her abilities.

Her eyes suddenly widened, and she didn't even care about being shy anymore, looking at the Magical Index Mist River in front of her with disbelief.

This feels like...

"Kamijo's stupid Imagine Breaker?!"

……

At this time, we arrived at the other side, the seventh school district, a building without windows.

Aleister, who was hanging upside down, opened his eyes again. This time, he was not as indifferent as before. There was a scary look in his eyes and a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"I thought it was just a fool's fantasy. Who would have thought that the tadpole that desperately swung its tail to grow stronger could actually grow into Nidhogg, the world-devouring tadpole."

"This is really, another unexpected failure."

Although he said he had failed, there was no trace of loss on Aleister's face.

As a man cursed by fate, Aleister's life has been filled with failure.

Failure has never been a barrier that hinders his progress. On the contrary, it is a step that promotes his continuous progress.

And just as Aleister got the answer he wanted and closed his eyes slightly, the angel Edwards appeared.

He also glanced at the Majina-no-harassment fog river monitored from behind.

As an angel, what Edwards can see is naturally different from that of others.

He could clearly see the countless phases around the Magical Index Mist River constantly approaching him under the pull of his gravity.

but……

not enough……

"It is not a good choice for a young eagle to bear the weight of fate too early before it spreads its wings and flies high."

Aleister nodded in response.

"exactly."

"So before the weight of fate breaks its wings, the young eagle must be allowed to go through enough trials..."
