Academy City's Puppet Master

"What is the meaning of such an uncertain tone!"

"Based on your comprehension ability and level of knowledge, understanding this level is enough." Stiyl said perfunctorily, "Let's think of it as an action to rescue a girl. The one who needs to be rescued is a girl named Jigami Ayusa .”

Stiyl pointed to the document in Kamijou Touma's hand.Kamijou Touma lowered his head and flipped through the pages, and sure enough, he saw the girl's information on the next few pages.

She looks like a beautiful black-haired girl dressed as a shrine maiden.

"This person..." Kamijou Touma scrutinized the photo carefully and said in surprise.

"What, do you know each other?"

Kamijou Touma nodded resolutely: "Yes, I saw it at the fast food restaurant yesterday!"

Because she was wearing a shrine maiden costume, she was particularly impressive.

"She ate a lot of hamburgers at the time, and it is said that she was sad because she couldn't go swimming with her friends." Kamijou Touma recalled, "It doesn't look like she is in a kidnapping state."

===Chapter 26 Vampire Killer===

"That's right..." Stiyl just casually responded to what happened to Kamijou Touma.

Since it happened yesterday, it doesn't make much sense for the current situation.

Different people have different concerns.

Yesterday, when Steele talked with Supreme Bishop Lola Stewart and Academy City Director Aleister, his main purpose was only one——representing the "magic side" to crusade against the alchemy that entered Academy City Master Oreos.

Rescuing the kidnapped "Vampire Killer" can only be regarded as a side task at best.Or this is actually just a superficial excuse to crusade against the alchemist.At least the Supreme Bishop Laura Stewart didn't show much interest in this "Vampire Killer".

Now, Steele discovered that there is actually another reason, that is, the reason of "rescue the girl" is more persuasive to people like Kamijou Touma who has a strong sense of justice to help.

"Sanze Juku is a nationwide chain of teaching institutions, and they set up an ordinary branch in Academy City." Steele continued to explain, "Because I have lived in this strange city for a long time, the branch here is also It has been affected to a considerable extent. The specific manifestation is that they have formed a new religion with the theme of science worship for some unknown reason. This girl was kidnapped by them to prepare for a role like a priestess."

"A new religion..." Kamijou Touma found relevant documents again, "There really is such a thing. Worshiping technology as a god... It's incredible!"

"Although I still don't know what their teachings are," Stiyl played with the cards in his hand, "but to be honest, no matter how fanatical religion Sansawa becomes, it doesn't matter anymore."

"Because the Sanze School has already been occupied!" Stile sneered, "It was occupied by a real magician—no, to be precise, it should be an alchemist from the Zurich School!"

"After that is where the really tricky problem lies." Steele said, "Of course, the alchemist may have just accidentally discovered that Misawa School is very suitable as his hiding place, so he made such a decision? And because it is It sneaked in secretly, so now almost no one knows that the actual controller of Sanzejuku has changed."

"Magician—how did that alchemist end up in Academy City..." Kamijou Touma wondered.

Because this is Academy City, the city with the most advanced science and technology on earth, it can be said that it has nothing to do with things like "magic" and "religion" from the beginning.It was hard for Kamijou Touma to imagine that there would be a so-called "magician" appearing here.

"Because the most important target of the alchemist is the girl Hime Kami Akisa." Stiles explained, "From the very beginning, his goal was the 'blood-sucking killer' Hime Kami Akisa. But for some reason , this girl was caught first by someone from Sanzeshu and kidnapped."

"The one who took action in advance was actually Misawa Juku of Academy City." Stiyl explained in detail, "As a result, he was snatched back by the alchemist. And in order to avoid being wanted and hunted down, he simply stayed , occupied Sanze School, and transformed it into his own fortress."

"Being kidnapped, and then changing the kidnapper, do you still maintain the same hostage status?" Kamijou Touma said with emotion, "This experience...is really pathetic!"

"Well, who told her to be a 'blood-sucking killer'?" Steele bit his cigarette, "For an alchemist who likes analysis and research, getting a blood-sucking killer is probably his greatest wish?"

Steele snorted coldly: "It should be said that for all the magicians, the blood-sucking killer is what they desire most. Even more exaggerated, for the entire human race, the blood-sucking killer also means a very far-reaching impact .”

"Vampire killer?" Kamijou Touma snorted, "I've been concerned about it since just now, are you talking about the bloodsucking... killer? The kind of vampire?"

"Yeah, vampires," Stiles said. "Descendants of Cain, in our jargon."

"...are you joking or serious?"

Although magicians have appeared, but vampires and so on... It feels like the world is getting closer to the setting of RPg games.

"Ignorant people are really happy." Stiles sneered, "It's the vampire you understand...but it should be stronger. Although there are no witness records so far."

"There are no witnesses? This also confirms the existence of vampires?" Kamijou Touma grasped the flaw in the other party's language, and retaliated - it seemed as if he had grasped the knack of getting along with Stiyl.

Steele wasn't angry, but just showed a playful smile: "Because everything I saw is dead."

Stiyl pointed to the photo of Jigami Ayusa and said: "Vampire killers do exist. Use your brain to think about it, since there is indeed an ability that specifically targets a certain creature, then it must be possible to deduce that creature There is also a conclusion, right?"

The fundamental purpose of magicians seeking vampire killers is to find the legendary vampires.

Because only vampire killers can deal with vampires.

The legendary vampire is a kind of immortal monster. It is said that even if their heart is dug out and put into the magic sword, they can still survive!It can be regarded as a living magic prop.

In order to pursue a higher realm, magicians can try all possible options at all costs.

Like... transforming yourself into a vampire.

For a magician, magic power is as important as blood is to ordinary humans.If you want to go further on the road of magic, magic power is one of the most important things.

Fanatical magicians are willing to transform into vampires. Apart from obtaining unlimited lifespan, the biggest purpose is to obtain unlimited magic power.

In other words, lifespan and magic power are actually the same thing.

Generally speaking, the magic power of the wizarding world can be compared to "gasoline". A magician processes and refines "crude oil" such as lifespan and vitality in the body, and then extracts the "gasoline" of magic power.

For human beings with a limited lifespan, the strength of their magic power only depends on whether their refined skills are brilliant or clumsy.

But for vampires with infinite vitality, this problem does not exist.Even with the most clumsy refining skills, vampires can obtain enormous magical powers that humans cannot match.

Magic power is the foundation of magic. With endless magic power, one can become a powerful magician.

Therefore, magicians are eager to obtain vampires as research materials. In order to capture vampires, they have to rely on the power of vampire killers...

"So, that's why the Vampire Killer was kidnapped." Stiles finally concluded.
