"Then, let's start the long-awaited explanation of TIME."

As she spoke, the girl gave Index a slight glance.

List of banned books.

Although the other party knew the inside story, it was Bardway who spoke.

"About those guys closely related to you and...the other law that underpins it, magic."

"I don't think it makes any sense to tell all about those guys all at once. So, first of all, let's start from the soil where those guys were born, that is, the existence of magic and magicians."

Bardway said.

For Kamijou Touma, this is a world he has seen before, so although he listened to Bardwig's words, his expression did not show too much surprise.

Sure enough, the main audience should still be a group of superpowers and three researchers led by Accelerator?

Among the three "Kihara", it is Kihara who listens the most enthusiastically.

"When it comes to magic, as you imagine, it is an existence that has nothing to do with scientific laws. In a word, it is supernatural. Those who have acquired magical abilities can shoot flames from their hands or spray water. It can also heal wounds, and at the same time make them worse.”

If it is such a convenient thing, it seems that it should be more popular than scientific superpowers.

Facing Misaka Mikoto's question, Bardwig glanced at Index's direction.

Index was next to Kamijou Touma, wiped her mouth covered with fried bread residue with a tissue, and continued.

"But magic is not so convenient. In the final analysis, the so-called magic, after some exceptions are excluded, basically exists for the 'untalented' to catch up with the 'talented'."

"Simply put, it's the concept of incompetence. For the useless part, make up for it in other ways."

Seemingly defined, Bardwig made a summary.

Of course, just like humans can't fly without props.

Although it is possible for those with abilities introduced by Academy City.But this is also due to the back-up support of "scientific push".

There are those who were developed using drugs and electricity to stimulate development, and of course there are people who are called "rough stones" who have been nurtured by nature and have an environment for the cultivation of those who have the ability by chance.

Strictly speaking, all the regular abilities of Academy City are so-called "artificial rough stones".It is somewhat similar to the original situation of the Talent Workshop, which cultivates "great people" by artificial means, that is, the so-called "talented people".

"I'm so envious."

Bardway smiled.

It was a smile that did not contain any mild emotion and could make those who saw it shudder.

"In an age when science and the supernatural have not yet been distinguished, after people see any religious miracle and the power of a natural ability only cultivated in a specific environment, although it is not clear what it is, it is precisely because of ignorance. Vision. As a result, I want to be special, and I don’t want to be ordinary. This is the beginning.”

That is why, strictly speaking, magic and religion should be regarded as different things.

"The pursuit of true miracles through human beings. The idea that this idea itself is considered blasphemous is also more mainstream."

The pure white nun said this.

"So those who have the ability on the scientific side have been criticized by some magicians all the time, to put it bluntly. They are both 'infidels' and 'blasphemers'. If it weren't for the great churches such as English Puritanism, Roman Orthodox Church and Russian Orthodox Church, the scientific side would The battle with the magic side is long overdue."

As the Kihara Celestial said so, the other three wooden principles sat in the same place thoughtfully.

"Even so, magic is still being revealed. It really means that although the world is full of mysteries, it's not all functions that exist for human beings."

Birdway sneered, as if she was a little dissatisfied with Index's statement.

"It's just that the magic created by taking advantage of the inferiority of the incompetent is very convenient in itself. For example, the so-called scientific abilities you use are basically only one type of person, right?"

"This is about the same. Although there is a theory of the so-called 'multiple abilities', the current technology has not yet reached the stage where it can be verified. However, it seems that the celestial body can be classified as a 'multiple abilities'."

Conductor Kihara replied.

"Kiyama Haruno's 'Fantasy Hand' will be able to achieve the level of a 'multi-talented person' by combining the brains of a large number of capable people, but a lot of computing power will be used to stabilize the fragile 'network' , so even if the brains of 1 people are united, they are only a little stronger than ordinary people with great abilities."

Kihara Molecules was the one who recovered Terestina after the messy development, and most of the research she was doing was transferred to Kihara Molecules by Kihara celestial bodies.It also includes the part of Mushan Chunsheng.

However, because they themselves are undeveloped researchers and do not rely on abilities, they have no personal feelings about this convenience.However, Conductor Kihara is "thirst for knowledge" for all information related to the "body", so he is also attentively listening to the descriptions of Bardwig and Index.

Instead of Kihara Conductor, it is Academy City's top ability development researcher Kihara Kasuma.

"...Under the condition of not changing the means of attack, the winner can be determined from the point of proficiency in the application of basic abilities. For those with fire abilities, being able to use abilities Create smoke and steal oxygen. How do you explain that?"

It wasn't Birdway who answered, but Kihara Celestial Body.

"For magic, there is no such restriction. In simple terms, natural fire is similar to ability fire, but they are not equal to magic fire. Completely free from the shackles of basic physical laws, even the deep sea can erupt at will. Massive fire attack."

"That's it. So we're free to make fire."

With a slap of her fingers, Bardway ignited a lighter-like flame from her index finger.

"Even water can be produced."

With another flick of his finger, a golf ball-sized water polo appeared, putting out the flames.

"Of course there are basic laws. Celtic or Nordic. But even so, there is no strict distinction. It is similar to the case of Norse mythology influenced by Celtic culture. can be freely combined.”

"Compared to our ability people who are systematically graded after passing a physical examination, and nothing can be changed after that, your statement sounds really convenient."

Kakine Teitoku said with seven points of displeasure and three points of exclamation, which made Birdway somewhat subconsciously satisfied.

"Actually, it's very convenient. It doesn't matter if you want to fly in the air or pick up girls. As long as you figure out the purpose, you can arrange and combine them as you want, and then you can set what you want. It's a supernatural ability. Compared to you who rely on your talents, this can be regarded as an effect that is a great advantage."

Of course, the adjustment of the details also requires corresponding efforts.Bardway thought to herself, but didn't say it.

"But magicians should also have so-called 'talents', don't they? Don't say that you and the guy behind you are on the same level, and were almost killed by a bastard who flies flies everywhere. You mean that every magician is this kind of let A guy who wants to vomit?"

Mai Ye Shenli said rather unhappily.Because she is not as good as Emperor Kakine in terms of the nature of her ability or her own base, which leads to the fact that she is destined to be unable to defeat Emperor Kakine no matter how hard she tries, Shirley Kukino.

That's why I have such a big reaction when I hear "talent".

"That's natural. As long as there are advantages and disadvantages, there must be corresponding talents. Although magicians can freely combine spells at will, the time spent, the speed of use, the efficiency of the spells, and the prevention of being attacked by the enemy are necessary. The invisibility of cracking. These are not things that can be patched up by mere hard work.”

Bardway did not deny Shirley Muye's statement, but admitted it quite naturally.

"But as long as you work hard, you won't be able to use either ability or magic..."

Kamijou Touma saw something was wrong with the atmosphere, so he decided to say something calming.But let's not mention whether it has eased the atmosphere, but the conversation just now activated a superpower who has not spoken.

"That's right! I don't understand what's 'talent' or 'magic' at all! But! Just use the backbone to make up for the lack!"

Even Kamijou Touma was aware of the abnormal air pressure due to the abnormal air pressure, but Accelerator, Emperor Kakine, and Tianji Kihara, the three most powerful people on the scene, reacted at the same time.

puff~

Like a leaking balloon, the power that was enough to open a hole in this reception room poured out to the surroundings.

When they noticed the strangeness of Soba Ita Junba, Bardway and Mark glanced at each other, as if they were confirming to each other that they had not misunderstood the same scene that had just happened.

"Efforts can breed success or something... What a ridiculous misunderstanding! How can the world be so simple? No matter how hard a small dog works, it can't become a big dog; and no matter how hard penguins work, they can't Fly into the sky. That is to say... The so-called incompetent human beings are useless no matter what they do. The capable human beings do not become, but have the so-called talent from the moment of birth capacity."

"But if you try harder..."

Kamijou Touma wanted to refute Kihara's words, but was stunned by the researcher who had beaten him to death. Touma was stunned when he saw Kihara's vicious face.

"Idiot. Isn't the head of the incompetent kid just not easy to use? Move your head, why do you think the capable ones are called guinea pigs? The future of the guinea pigs is from your ability development. It has been fixed in a moment. The ability is the highest level that can be achieved. Just like you are playing video games, to what extent a pet's attributes can be brushed, what kind of innate skills will it have. At the moment he was born It was settled."

"That's it, those with superpowers are superpowers. This is a fact that was decided at birth. And you who are incapables are incompetent, and this is what is called 'talent'. That is, Academy City has always been The thing used to determine 'value'."

The successive remarks of Kihara Kudo and Kihara Conductor caused the scene to fall into silence.In particular, although Kamijou Touma didn't want to admit it, he couldn't find a reason to refute it either.

"But I used to be a low-ability person too!"

Looking at Misaka Mikoto, the three Kiharas turned their heads to the Kihara Celestial Body at the same time.It seems that this question is deliberately handed over to the Kihara celestial body to answer.

"Because 'talent' determines the highest attainable achievement. Even if the attribute can reach [-], you still need to start from scratch, right?"

In the face of Kihara Celestial Bodies, Misaka Mikoto had something to say, but the Kihara elements interrupted Misaka Mikoto first.

"I said, don't any of you superpowers find it weird? Especially the third and fifth?"

"strangeness?"

Misaka Mikoto didn't know what the Kiharas were talking about, but Shokuhou Misaki had a thoughtful expression somewhere after hearing all this.

"The 'Super Powers Mass Production Plan' and the 'Absolute Powers Evolution Plan'. Have you not understood these two plans directly?"

The Kihara members said impatiently, seeming to be disappointed by Misaka Mikoto's sluggishness.

"Even if you say so..."

"So it turns out, the reason why Misaka was chosen as the body of the 'Superhuman Mass Production Project' is because Academy City knew from the very beginning that Misaka had the 'ability' to become a superhuman. And the 'Absolute Capability Evolution Project' ' It means that Academy City knows that the first person has the 'talent' to reach the legendary 'Absolute Ability (Level. 6)'. Is that right?"

The Kiharas nodded, while Misaka Mikoto was silent.

"The reason why I was chosen to train me at the Talent Workshop was because I knew from the beginning that I had the 'talent' to become a superhuman. That's why there are facilities specially set up for the development of superhumans."

Hearing the development of Shokuhou Kaori, Emperor Kakine and Accelerator also looked at the Kiharas.Although they were all expressionless, this also meant that they did not deny Shokuhou's words.

"Then, can the communication on the science side end here? My side has just started to talk about the main points."

All the psychics didn't speak, and Kiharan shrugged his shoulders to show that Bardwig was casual.

On the contrary, Kihara Conductor, who had been thinking about it, asked a question.

"If you are an incompetent person without talent. Can you learn that so-called 'magic'?"

"Even if they are incompetent, since they have been brain-transformed by Academy City's technology, they are no different from the concept of 'talented'. Therefore, even incompetent people cannot use magic."

It was not Bardway who answered Kihara Conductor, but Kihara Celestial Body.The conductor glanced at Kihara Celestial Bodies, and seemed surprised by the other party's knowledge of magic.However, the number of wood originals and the wood original molecules do not have much reaction.After all, they had been aware of the "abnormal" parts of Kihara Celestial and Academy City from a long time ago.

"Magic coexists with science, and it is produced by the accumulation of professional technology and knowledge. Even the setting of powers requires energy and time. From now on, prepare for decades, and then use magic only once. There will be heavy bleeding all over the body, and there will be fears of life. So it is more efficient to hone the skills you have?"

"That is to say, those who are capable are not completely unable to use magic, but will be damaged or even killed due to the conflict of the power of two different systems, right?"

Bardway didn't answer, shrugging instead.On the other hand, Misaka Mikoto and Shokuhou Misaki looked towards Kihara Conductor unkindly.

"I said, you don't want to use clones..."

"Or biochemically modified people~ Now I have it..."

Conductor Kihara was halfway through speaking, when a sudden chill hit his back.The sense of crisis that pierced into the bone marrow officially originated from the Kihara celestial body sitting not far away.

And it was everyone present who realized this.

Accelerator, Emperor Kakine, Bardwig, and Mark.All were in a cold sweat.They were arguably the strongest or most "experienced" fighters on the scene to remove the Kihara celestial body accident.The sensitivity to this kind of killing intent is naturally the highest.

will die

This is the common judgment of the four.Although Bardway was very upset, she also had to admit that if the Kihara celestial body suddenly erupted without warning, she could not guarantee that she would be able to escape.Maybe once she still had confidence to rely on the power of "angels" to suppress the Kihara celestial body, but after the third world war, Bardway clearly felt that the power of the Kihara celestial body was further improved.It had now reached a point where she could not accurately measure.
