"Ha, Shirai Blackfire, you finally came out. I thought you were going to hide behind those guys." Some joking voices reached Blackfire's ears.

"I think the reason why you wore such tattered clothes and invaded directly from the front door is to attract attention, so I think it is more appropriate to say that you are looking for someone instead of stealing information.

"

"Interesting, go on." A playful smile appeared on Shirley's face.

"Shirley Cromwell, twenty years ago, participated in a magic and science collaboration organized by the Puritans and some people in Academy City. At that time, the participants tried to combine their respective technologies with

Knowledge is concentrated in the same facility, trying to combine superpowers and magic to create new sorcerers."

Blackfire switched to an explanation tone.

"Naturally, the experiment failed, and the facilities related to the experiment were destroyed. When the British Puritan leaders noticed this, they also started to hunt you down. I think Alice is not the name of the stone giant, but the person who participated in the experiment at that time.

One of the superpowers of the experiment."

"Oh...yes, Alice is my friend. But after performing the spell I taught her, she was covered in blood. When she came back, the knight came in to destroy the facility. In order to help me escape, Alice

He was beaten to death by the knights like this."

"So, Shirley Cromwell wants to provoke a war on the magic side. It's very simple. Kill Fuuzan Hyouka and the 'Absolute Domain' who are extremely important to the science side, or those who are in Academy City

Index of Forbidden Books can do this. Of course, I think your first target is Shirai Black Fire, who is fully compatible with magic and superpowers, am I right?"

"Hmph, you are indeed as smart as those people said... But have you foreseen your own death?" While speaking, Shirley's other hand holding the white crayon was drawing in mid-air.

What I was looking for was finally completed at this time.

"Come on, Alice!" Following the words, the stone giant's fist fell heavily.

"Sigh... I am worthy of 'giving my all for my dead friend'... But, it's not good to be arrogant." With an understatement of his hand, the huge stone giant began to fall apart and no longer regenerate.

signs.

"you……"

"Now that you know my abilities, you should know that any magic that is lower than the Saint's attack will be of no use to me, right? Or is it that you didn't do your homework at all before?"

"Stop talking nonsense!" As she said this, Shirley started writing quickly, and a huge arm immediately appeared on the ground. Then, with a "boom", the arm self-destructed.

"It's really an uncreative approach." Blackfire shook his head boredly and removed the barrier blocking the guards.

Most of the security officers on the other side were stunned. They were fully armed and using advanced weapons, and they could only protect themselves. But this boy actually just waved his hand and caused Shi Shi, who was giving him a headache.

The giant fell apart instantly. Is this the power of a so-called superpower?

But... now that the matter has been resolved, why do I feel uneasy?

What on earth...have I overlooked?

One of Shirley's targets, Feng Zhan Binghua, has disappeared and will not appear for the time being. The other target is the Index of Forbidden Books. He has put a surveillance-like spell on her before, and it seems that nothing is wrong now...

Suddenly, a lightning bolt seemed to flash through Black Fire's mind.

Since Shirley Cromwell's purpose is to trigger a dispute between the science side and the magic side, she has no way to do it... Then, does it only need to kill lv5, who is also the top combat power of the science side, to achieve it?

Purpose?

lv5... Now that Xiao Ai's ability has not been officially confirmed, she has only one purpose... Mikoto who was with her just now.

Black Fire didn't think that Shirley would still fail to do this homework as before.

It is his rule to control the development of things in his own hands.

At this time, on a deserted street in Academy City.

Misaka Mikoto was leaning on a telephone pole boredly, eating ice cream because she could get a new version of Gutai. As for Kiryu Yoko and Kinuhata, who were teleported together with her before, they had gone back because Black Fire was gone.

.

"Speaking of it...that guy is so slow. Damn it, he finally had a chance to play with me, but he didn't care so much?" Mikoto "clicked" and ate the last remains of the ice cream in one gulp, looking at the sky in boredom.

No matter what, one person always had to be left here to wait for Black Fire, but he agreed in a daze. Why exactly?

Mikoto, who was thinking hard, suddenly felt the ground beneath her feet begin to shake, and then the asphalt road began to crack.

Sensing something bad, Mikoto quickly used magnetism to attract the building not far away. After the smoke dissipated, Shirley in Gothic clothes appeared not far from her.

"You woman... what on earth do you want to do?" Mikoto became furious when she saw this woman. It was unforgivable that she bullied her schoolgirl in front of her.

"Haha... It seems that I am really stupid. Since there is no way to deal with Shirai Blackfire, then it should be possible to deal with a weaker superpower, right?"

"Huh...you mean...you think of me as a soft persimmon?"

"Of course not, little girl." Shirley took out something like a pill from the bag in her pocket.

"No matter how you say it, Academy City's level 5 is the top level of combat power. If you want to kill with one hit, you must use the saint's killing blow... But now I can only use this kind of thing to do it.

." After saying that, Shirley swallowed the pill.

What, what's going on? After Shirley swallowed the pill, Mikoto found that Shirley, who originally felt that she was about the same strength as herself, exuded an amazing aura, and even she began to feel fear.

"Sacrifice my body to the earth..." Immediately, Mikoto discovered that all the asphalt roads around her began to sink, and the magnetism she relied on had weakened to the point where she could no longer keep her body balanced. Right there.

In this shock, his body began to fall toward the dark underground.
