Academy City's Puppet Master

The Puppet Master of Academy City 120 East Longitude

This is a fan work of "Magic Forbidden Book Catalog", with the settings of "Puppet Circus" embedded.

Ling Xingye, who was born in the circus, entered Academy City to study and live as a puppet master;

In addition to studying, he secretly confronts the enemies who keep coming to seize the original magic book he masters, protects his comrades and friends, and protects the safety and peace of Academy City by the way.

Really... a little busy!

===Chapter 1 As long as it is not detected, it is not considered cheating===

Among the densely forested buildings, the man was right opposite, standing with his giant puppet.

It was a five-meter-tall giant puppet, and its left arm was a long pile driver. A slender spear protruded from the front end, across the ten-meter-wide street, and accurately pierced into my chest. on the wall behind.

Severe pain and severe injuries robbed me of mobility.But I don't completely rely on my hands to manipulate the puppet.

"Kill him, sprite!" I yelled, ignoring the steel spear between my heart and lungs.

The other party did not dodge or dodge, and the puppet controlling him swung his left arm, trying to tear my body apart.

"Die, Ling Xingye!"

……

Like a stone thrown into the calm water, the scene of the dream is shattered and rippling...

The voice of the real world came from the ear, but it was so far away that it was unreal.

"Ling Xingye! How dare you sleep in the exam, do you want to fail!"

The boy woke up suddenly.He raised his head in a daze, with sleepy eyes as if he was still awake.

It took another two seconds before Ling Xingye remembered that he was taking the exam.

At this time, Ling Xingye found himself in a spacious and bright classroom, sitting in the last seat of the row by the window, looking up, the other 29 students in the classroom were busy writing.

Only he fell asleep by himself...

So now the invigilator and their instructor—Sakura Sachiko is standing next to his seat.

On weekdays, Mr. Sakura Sachiko, who is a gentle and intellectual big sister to outsiders, also showed a gentle and sweet smile at this time: "I know Xingye doesn't care about such a simple quiz, but it's not okay to openly sleep during the exam. Give the teacher face."

Teacher Sachiko smiled sweeter and clapped her hands as if she had suddenly thought of a good idea: "That's good. If you can't get a full score in the Starry Night quiz, all the quiz bonuses will be deducted!"

The amount of the bonus popped up in Ling Xingye's mind instantly, and then his face suddenly became solemn.

There was a sympathetic sigh all around.Ling Xingye's heart also tightened, and he instantly remembered the deficit on his credit card...

To put it bluntly, Academy City is a large-scale experimental research base that gathers students with superpowers.In addition to studying here, the students also act as guinea pigs for research.

Therefore, when going to school in Academy City, tuition fees are often not charged, and instead, students are given monthly subsidies.

The higher the ability user's level, the higher the school's ranking, the more allowances the students can get.

Ling Xingye is currently studying in Changdian Shangji Academy, one of the top five top schools in Academy City, so the students in it also have a lot of subsidies.

For example, the subject they are currently testing-"General Studies", which is the so-called "Comprehensive Encyclopedia".It's a bit like a guessing game on a TV show, all kinds of messy questions will appear, but the difficulty and professional requirements are higher.

The two-hour exam requires the completion of [-] all-encompassing questions -- mostly fill-in-the-blank and choice-based.

The purpose of this course is to expand students' knowledge, to broaden their thinking and horizons, and to better develop their own abilities.

In fact, only a prestigious school like Shangji Academy has the leeway to set up such a nonsense test item.

The corresponding bonus is used to motivate students' enthusiasm - after all, no one thinks they have too much money.

Ling Xingye is on the verge of fiscal deficit all year round, so he must not let go of any chance to earn extra money.

Hearing the teacher's threat, he immediately showed a headache expression.

Seemingly satisfied with her "threat" effect, Sachiko-sensei nodded and returned to the seat next to the podium.

"By the way, I remind everyone again, don't cheat!" Teacher Xingzi clapped her hands and said, "The final exam is a comprehensive assessment, and everyone is not prohibited from cheating with ability, but this ordinary test is to truly reflect your knowledge. Level, so cheating is not allowed!"

"Although the teacher is not a superpower user, his eyes are also very sharp. Moreover, the latest AIM diffusion force field detection device made by the scientific research department is installed in this room. Any activation of the ability will trigger a warning! If anyone has the confidence to hide them... ..." Teacher Sachiko patted a machine on the podium, "Even the cheating teacher will admit it."

But that's impossible!

This mechanical device, even if placed in the entire Academy City, is the top research result. It will not interfere with the activation of superpowers, but it is extremely sensitive to fluctuations in the AIM diffusion field.

At present, it is only borrowed from the laboratory of the Ministry of Science and Technology for actual combat tests, and has not been officially released to the public.

And only the long-term Shangji Academy can be bold enough to use it to monitor cheating in exams.

"In other words, as long as you don't get caught, you can cheat, right?" Ling Xingye's brain gradually came to his senses, and he thought to himself, "The teacher did say that just now... If that's the case, then there's no problem!"

It's not that Ling Xingye doesn't know these questions, but dozing off in the middle wasted a lot of time. There is still half an hour before the end of the exam, but he still has [-] questions to do, and it is almost impossible for him to complete the rest of the time This test paper.

So Ling Xingye decisively chose to cheat - the target was of course his classmate sitting in the front row, the school's famous god of learning, Hitomi Shiranui.

The monitor, Shiranui Hitomi, is a good student with excellent character and learning, and even a level 4 person with great ability.

As we all know, Academy City divides ability users into six levels—from level 0 powerless people to the highest level 5 superpowers.

As the current No. 5 Changdian Computer Academy, the highest ability user currently studying should naturally be a level [-] super ability user, and it is said that it is also the number one strongest super ability user in the entire academy city.

Further down there are about fifty Level 4 powerful users.Compared with the level 5 superpowers who never showed up in the school, these powerful people are actually the top existence of the school.

Class monitor Shiranuo Hitomi is one of them.

Its level 4 great ability, the name of the ability is - "memory construction".
