Zongman: Beginning with the Killer Queen

In Academy City, which is a collection of many educational institutions, the Academy Garden is also one of the most shining landmarks.

This is not just because it is a closed space surrounded by a huge fence, and has a sense of mystery that is not open to the public even on satellite maps.

More importantly, it is a large-scale industry jointly invested by five aristocratic girls' schools.

The favorable congenital conditions, the natural corresponding industrial chain, and the strong alliance of many famous schools make this closed campus naturally have the best students, even if it has the requirement to restrict female students.

Even in ordinary schools, the retention and retention of top students, which can affect the admission rate, can also interfere with the school's policies and decisions. In Academy City, this phenomenon is even more prominent.

Because since the establishment of this technological capital, the superpower development program, which is the core educational subject, has always had an unshakable status.

From Level 1 people with low abilities, Level 2 people with super abilities, Level 3 people with strong abilities, Level 4 people with great abilities, Level 5 people with super abilities, and Level 6 people with absolute abilities that currently only exist in theory.

It is through these black box-like ability users who can reverse the flow and shorten the distance between theory and reality that Academy City can achieve a spurt in technological development that transcends the times.

The more outstanding the students are, the brighter the research objects and the speed of development will be. Under the virtuous cycle brought about by elite education, the admission standard of the Academy has become a rigid condition for admission to the College only if the comprehensive ability is judged to be Level 3.

Although they seem to be in the middle range, those with abilities who have reached this level can already significantly interfere with reality. No matter which research institution they are in, they will not be regarded as worthless, which shows how stringent its requirements are.

After it mercilessly refused to enroll the children of a certain royal family who did not meet the standards, causing a diplomatic dispute, this concept of not only cultivating elites but only those with money made the Academy even more famous.

A closed aristocratic girls' school, a young lady receiving an elite education, and an able person with a bright future.

Any one of these conditions can arouse the curiosity and pursuit of many people, especially for most students who are still in their teenage years.

Even if it is impossible to enter the interior, there is a lot of people outside the exit of the school garden.

In addition to students from other schools, there are also many girls wearing exquisite uniforms coming and going in the school garden.

With their elegant manners, reserved smiles, and beautiful faces without makeup, from the outside, most girls can afford people's admiration for ladies.

Occasionally, there will be a small group composed of many girls, and the surrounding crowd will make a rustling commotion, as if they are famous.

Although Roland didn't know anyone, he could still understand.

Although the school garden can provide most of the material needs, it is not intended to cultivate canaries in a cage. It does not restrict the students' freedom to go out. For girls with ability, they can become famous while they are in school. No. is a normal thing.

It's a pity that, except for Tokiwadai Middle School, one of the five schools, these outstanding girls do not exist in his memory.

After watching for a while and not seeing anyone he remembered, Roland left the place calmly.

He had no specific purpose in the first place. He came to the Academy Garden just to see the map near this landmark and with a little bit of a pilgrim mentality.

And even if he met the characters in the original work, Roland didn't plan to do anything.

After all, those children had received elite education and were potential talents, but they were not something Roland would deliberately recruit.

Now he is neither the emperor who needs to hold up the world and lead mankind to move forward with the future, nor is he a thug who is driven to extremes by his obsession, he is just an ordinary person with super powers.

In Academy City, people with this status are more common than vending machines on the roadside.

Rarely freed from the burden of being trapped on the throne, Roland was willing to live a more relaxed life.

"It's also a mess. Compared to a God who is omnipotent but can only stay on the throne, it is more to my liking to be more free like this."

After experiencing a wasteland where even the planet was dead, and a Gensokyo filled with weirdos and monsters, this near-future world gave Roland a different kind of freshness.

Especially now that you don't have to worry about the threat of the most powerful god descending from the sky or the apostles of the highest heaven arriving at your doorstep.

Although the demon gods are also very powerful, in this world where the version balance has been updated, the initiative to make this plan explode is more in Aleister's hands.

And in the plan that Aleister had fully revealed, there was still almost a year until the critical node arrived.

From the perspective of the immortal species, this may only be a short moment.

But maybe it's because of the habits left over from his mortal days, or maybe it's because he understands the beauty of time. For Roland, even if he doesn't use his time so carefully, he still has plenty of spare time.

Use the power of magnetic field rotation to bring more changes and possibilities, laying opportunities for the future.

After finding the idea, this is just a step-by-step project.

Therefore, Roland now has a sightseeing mentality.

He walked slowly on the clean road, enjoying the rare quiet time.

Although there were occasional glances around him because of his appearance and temperament, compared with the precedents left by many capable users who attracted attention, the emotions in those glances were only superficial.

"The next step is to find a research institute to be affiliated with, or to create a force yourself..."

Roland was thinking as he walked along the tree-shaded walkway while observing the crowds of people at the intersection in front of him with indifferent eyes.

Just when he was about to step out of the intersection, Roland retracted his foot as if he sensed something.

At this moment, an eager figure was like a fish swimming against the current, struggling to squeeze out of the surging crowd and rushing straight towards the intersection.

If Roland hadn't stopped just now, he would have bumped into this figure without any courtesy.

But even if he avoided this situation, it wasn't much better for the spiky-headed boy who rushed out.

It is already the peak period after classes, and the famous school garden is nearby. In order to squeeze out of the crowd during this peak period, even if the young man is still relatively strong, he still needs to put in a lot of effort to do it.

Therefore, when the environment suddenly changed from being as crowded as sardines in the cabin to a vast sea and sky without any obstacles, the hedgehog-headed boy who had maintained his initial speed was unable to stop for a moment, and his movements could not help but stagger.

To stop this momentum, it is obviously impossible to rely solely on muscle buffering.

The only obstacles in front of him were Roland, who was still standing at the intersection, and the big tree on the lawn next to him.

In this seemingly stagnant scene, the spiky-headed boy who stared at this double-difficulty multiple-choice question did not hesitate at all and used his miraculous muscle manipulation ability to forcefully change the direction.

"Unfortunately!!! Bang——!"

Under the influence of inertia, before the spiky-headed boy's wailing full of sadness and helplessness was finished, he was forced to stop because of the close contact between his face and the big tree.

Because this series of actions was so coherent, in Roland's eyes, it was more like a funny drama than an accident.

But Roland didn't intend to just stand aside and watch the show.

Whether it was the instinctive kindness of the hedgehog-headed boy just now or the other party's behavior just now, he could not easily ignore this encounter.

Changing the direction of choice for the first time can be said to be a physical instinct.

But after making this choice and before hitting the tree for the second time, excluding the time when the body is dominated by inertia and unable to adjust, the remaining time seems to be a long time even if it is calculated in an instant. The impact posture with the least damage cannot be explained by ordinary circumstances.

This has gone beyond the realm of perception, to the point of predicting the future, right?

And to be able to achieve this level of prediction in a world full of phase sparks, this is quite an incredible technology in the field of magic.

In the realm of Noble Phantasms that can be sublimated by technology to some extent.

But the spiky-headed boy in front of him could achieve this with only a mortal body, which was really surprising.

It also has a familiar look that makes it difficult to ignore.

Black hair, medium build, slightly muscular, with an attitude between a boy and a young man.

The wildly upturned hair style seems to be based on popular magazines, and is specially fixed with hairspray, but it doesn't look free and easy, but in the end it just gives the impression of a somewhat conspicuous hedgehog hair.

"You're not hurt, are you?"

Roland said this, his eyes gradually became sharper and brighter, and he stretched out his hand towards the hedgehog-headed boy.

"Well……"

Under the reaction force, the young man sitting on the ground shook his head in confusion.

Although the injury sounded serious from the sound, as Roland expected, he had no injuries except for the red mark on his face.

"I'm really sorry! I was too anxious."

The hedgehog-headed boy, who quickly understood the reality, stretched out his right hand in embarrassment, took the hand that Roland handed over, and stood up.

Apart from the words about misfortune, he had no comment on his unfortunate experience just now, as if he had long been accustomed to it.

"It doesn't matter, I wasn't hurt anyway."

Roland shrugged helplessly, glanced at his hands thoughtfully, and smiled slightly.

"What's more, I saw such a rare scene. Strictly speaking, I earned it."

"Ha ha……"

Although this kind of speech was a bit harsh, the hedgehog-headed boy breathed out a sigh of relief. Compared with making a fool of himself, it was more important to him that it did not affect others.

"I'm Roland. I just came to Academy City today. Are the students here usually so busy?"

"My name is Kamijou Touma..."

Because of Roland's teasing words, Kamijou Touma rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment.

"Although the course is not easy, it shouldn't be like this for others. It's just that I'm unlucky."

"Unlucky...does what happened just now happen often to Kamijou-san?"

"Rather than saying it often, it's better to say every day."

Despite his perseverance and optimistic character, Kamijou Touma also felt a little sad when it came to this painful point.

"It was the same today. I subconsciously took a small road because I had something urgent to do. As a result, I was chased by bad guys. When I finally got rid of them, I realized that I had reached the opposite direction of my original destination. As a result, I had to go back against the rush of people. Hurry..."

Kamijou Touma spoke in a rather plain tone, an experience that would make people block out comforting words, make those who hear it sad, and those who see it cry.

Counting the calamity of just running into Roland, what happened to him in less than half an hour, in the eyes of outsiders, can only be explained by the fact that he was deliberately targeted by God.

If it were any other work, this would be the trigger for the birth of a super villain.

But for Kamijou Touma, this was just a familiar routine.

"I see."

Kamijou Touma's words were sincere, but to a stranger, it wasn't surprising that they seemed bizarre.

But Roland nodded clearly, without doubting the authenticity of the other party's words.

That performance, that name, and the power I just felt from that right hand are evidence that is stronger than any words.

With Roland's current status and cultivation, he could only prevent phase sparks from contaminating himself without breaking through the world.

As powerful as a demon, if he doesn't completely destroy the world, he will be hindered by the clinging web of fate.

But on Kamijou Touma in front of him, those floating phase sparks disappeared as quickly as snowflakes in the sun.

And all of this is because of the power that resides in the opponent's right hand.

Fantasy Killer.

This is not a superpower or magic.

It is a wish.

Beings at the level of demon gods can turn their phases upside down with a single thought. Even if they don't take the initiative to do anything, their thoughts and gravity are enough to unconsciously create miracles.

Fantasy Killer was born in the original phase due to the desire of many demons to repair and return to the original world. It is an irreplaceable miracle.

It is the backup of the laws of physics and the most fundamental reference point of the world.

Aleister's original purpose in creating Academy City was to create a stage to attract opponents and capture the spiritual equipment that once protected him.

Among the many plans he set up, Fantasy Killer is also an indispensable force.

"——You can only listen to this kind of words casually."

Aleister's words were not false at all. Even if the devil came to Kamijou Touma now, he could only see this truth, and then he was attracted by the power of fantasy residing in this right hand.

This is a strategy like darkness under the lamp.

Use the gorgeous shell of Fantasy Killer's power to cover up the real orb inside, covering up the essence of the boy named Kamijou Touma.

"Shen Jing conquers demons..."

Roland whispered in an inaudible voice.

In the world view of magnetic field rotation, this is how such existence is described.

A strong man without a natal star.
