"But unfortunately, Kamijou Touma...it's impossible for a wounded person to easily agree with other people's opinions. What's more, your story can only represent a very small number of existing situations." Frieza from the Dragon Ball world smiled knowingly and spoke out the essence of living things.

In everything, people tend to be biased towards what is more acceptable and closer to their own corner of life. This is the habit of living things.

At least Touma couldn't think of any other suitable rebuttal.

And Shirley Cromwell didn't even want to argue.

There will inevitably be a war between the two.

“It’s only natural.”

Shirley Cromwell also saw the video footage.

She had certainly witnessed how Touma overcame many difficulties.

but--

Let us ask ourselves, is this replicable?

Do ordinary people have fantasy killers?

Or is there a power that can break the bad situation?

Take away this power.

Can ordinary people with Kamijou Touma's drive escape danger so many times?

Damn it!

Don’t even think about it!

Without this power to rely on, you will be nothing more than a useless scum who can't figure out who you are and will die in the blink of an eye.

"If you think about it carefully, after all... apart from this power, what else does he rely on?"

Looking at the battle that is about to break out.

The coffee-colored magician spoke in a hoarse voice, hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "Sure enough... After all, he is the protagonist..."

Following the sound, it returns to darkness.

And in the video.

The battle is about to break out.

Shirley Cromwell is not just waiting.

She was prepared.

In this dark area where you can't see your hand in front of you.

She had already been covered with magic runes.

Instantly, the tunnel pulsed madly.

The core of the earth and the ceiling of the tunnel are both showing signs of breaking apart.

Can be imagined.

Kamijou Touma will die.

The flesh and blood will be used as nutrients for the stone puppets.

The scene before us is not good no matter how you look at it.

But Touma's thoughts seemed to go back to the past.

At that moment.

Index had told him.

The connection between magic circles and magic.

If he ran away randomly, he would definitely die. The magic circles that filled the entire passage could not be eliminated one by one with his right hand. Moreover, the magic circle on the ceiling could not be touched at all. Even if he eliminated the magic circles on the walls and floor, he would still be buried alive if he could not prevent the most dangerous ceiling from collapsing.

Kamijou thought of this and suddenly stopped moving.

A magic circle on the floor?

Suddenly, he thought of something.

Kamijou rushed forward, facing the ceiling that looked like a balloon about to burst. He had only one goal. The place where the caster Shirley was standing was probably the only safe place that would not be buried by the rubble. However, no matter how he thought about it, it was impossible for Kamijou to rush to Shirley before the collapse with his speed.

“So, my goal is not there!”

He clenched his right hand, bent down while running, and kept close to the ground. He had only one goal. It was not Shirley Cromwell, but a magic circle on the floor closer to him.

Kamijou Touma recalled what Index had complained about in the school cafeteria.

"Then, Touma, do you know? In the British ritual, when performing the idol creation ritual that infuses the cross with angelic power, the position in the temple is related to the position of the caster! In fact, in order to protect the body from being caught in the aftermath of the main ritual, the location of the protective magic circle is strictly regulated. Once it deviates from the original position, the secondary protective ritual may be disturbed by the main ritual and cannot function properly. Touma, do you know the golden ratio? Come on, this is common sense."

The words that sounded like a headache in the past actually turned out to be a good idea and saved Kamijou Touma's life at this moment!

"There's only that magic circle, it doesn't make any sense!"

That’s right, the magic circles on the walls and ceiling were probably meant to collapse the passage and bury Kamijou alive. This is understandable.

But why did they need to draw a magic circle on the floor? Even if they destroyed the floor, they couldn't bury Kamijou alive.

...

"In other words, a sleight of hand!?"

The psychic Misaka Mikoto was also surprised when she saw this. She didn't expect that these guys who didn't understand science at all would know such theoretical knowledge that was difficult to understand at first glance.

"It's a good hand to suppress the opponent's emotions and confuse his thinking through the situation on the scene, and then simultaneously cast a magic circle so that the opponent cannot notice your real target." In the world of Gambling Apocalypse, Ito Kaiji was so excited when he saw this that he ran into the casino and lost 100 million on the spot.

Shirley Cromwell's idea is full of strategic psychological tactics.

But at the same time, there is also an extremely critical weakness.

"No matter how perfect a plan is, if its essence is seen through at a glance... then it is just scrap metal, nothing worth boasting about or noticing at all." In SpongeBob's world, Squidward, the cashier of the Krusty Krab, has also noticed something and told Mr. Krabs, who was also looking forward to it, "That means this game is over... Oh~ my boss, you will know it soon."

The magic circle's cover is very conspicuous.

If it were an ordinary person, he might have been so panicked that he would not be able to escape.

But unfortunately.

Shirley Cromwell calculated everything, but she didn't calculate the most crucial thing.

"Huh? Who does she think she's fighting? If it's someone who only has theoretical knowledge, she might not be able to detect such a thing at all, but if the opponent is someone who has a little experience in battle, she will quickly adjust her emotions and calm down in this situation, right?"

Accelerator played with the coffee can and watched the video calmly: "Not to mention... the enemy you chose this time is really tough. He is a guy who has gone through life and death many times and even I have defeated him."

There is no suspense and no need to think about it at all.

Sydney's plot has come to light.

In the magic circle, there must be one that is created to protect itself.

At this time, it has been noticed by Touma!

"It seems that only that magic circle exists for another purpose!"

Shirley Cromwell noticed Kamijou's intention and her face changed drastically. She waved her oil crayon and gave orders to the surrounding walls and pillars. But it was too late. Kamijou avoided the collapsed wall, passed quickly under the falling pillar, and raised his right hand towards the magic circle on the floor.

Then, he knocked without hesitation.

Just like breaking a frozen water stain, the magic circle disappeared without a trace.

Another technique that was indispensable to Shirley disappeared.

If the purpose of the magic circle was to create a safe zone in the event of collapse to protect herself, now that the safe zone has disappeared, she dare not execute the order to collapse.

And from this series of conversations and fights.

Touma has also found out.

Shirley Cromwell...

The only reason she did this was revenge.

[Because, you don’t want to lose your friends. ]

The magician, whose truth was revealed, instantly revealed a sad expression as if he was about to cry;

It's like a villain who wants to achieve his goal by any means necessary.

She cursed the boy who had exposed her secrets and wished him death.

Waving the oil crayon, he drove the stone giant closer.

All these signs indicate that she seems to have run out of ideas.

This trick has been used before.

If this method could really kill Kamijou, she would have done it from the beginning. Moreover, when Alice was restrained by the guards, she would not have been easily hit by Kamijou, and there was no need to set traps on the subway passage.

Shirley Cromwell's beliefs are as numerous as the stars.

She once said that she was in pain because she felt that all her ideas made sense.

in other words……

"Does it also include the belief that someone can stop you?"

BANG! Kamijou’s fist smashed the soft crayon into pieces.

The fist, still full of momentum, changed its trajectory slightly and headed for Shirley Cromwell's face.

Bang! Shirley's body hit the ground in the passage with a terrible sound.

An extremely familiar move.

It is also a particularly suitable finishing punch.

With the faith of a teenager.

He punched the awake magician in front of him and knocked him to the ground.

..................

Chapter 39. The Great Star Festival Begins

The battle is over.

It ended with Touma winning again.

The battle was not won tragically.

It was Touma's willpower that overcame Shirley Cromwell's rage.

At last.

“Give up.”

Stated the reality of playback verification.

Shirley Cromwell calmly witnessed her defeat.

She was shaken.

So, lost.

yes..

The truest thoughts hidden in one's heart are seen through.

Is there still a reason to fight?

Shirley Cromwell didn't want to see another tragedy happen.

I don't want to see such a terrible thing happen again.

Unfortunately, this long-cherished wish was shattered.

"is it my fault?"

A noncommittal question.

A helpless sigh sounded in the confined space.

This farce also came to an end.

Under the sunset.
