Immediately afterwards, there was a biting coldness that was even more piercing than the world of ice and snow just now.
Preemptively occupying his best position, the spy boy had no choice but to raise his hands to show that he had no intention of resisting.
The reason for doing this is not because of who has used the ability, but because of the survival instinct that is constantly releasing warnings.
As for why it was not discovered one step ahead, that is something that we will have the opportunity to consider later.
"Hmm! Okay, okay - what on earth is this classmate talking about? I just noticed someone fell on the ground here, so I kindly came over to see if anyone needed help. I should be praised no matter what.
That’s right?”
Glibly pretending to be dumbfounded to delay time, Tsuchimikado turned slightly sideways and observed the person coming from the corner of his eye.
Blonde, student, and.
Very similar in appearance to the little girl in front of me.
That's right.
confirmed.
(This is really a jackpot... No, I should say I should have thought of it a long time ago.)
Flanda Severen.
Tsuchimikado, who was stiff, silently recited a name.
That was a key contact person specifically noted in the target intelligence, and just recently, she had acquired a new identity.
The eighth one born in Academy City.
——『Lv5 (superpower user)』.
The reason for her presence here is already obvious.
only.
Why is she here 'now'?
(...Didn't that person say that ANBU would stop him...)
(…?)
Wait.
While thinking, Tsuchimikado's heartbeat suddenly accelerated again, and a thought that he was unwilling to admit flashed through his mind.
(That bastard Aleister, does he treat me as a discardable pawn?!)
Tsuchimikado, whose expression suddenly changed, almost cursed.
His identity is special to begin with, so he will understand it quickly.
An unusual commission.
Information that is difficult to distinguish between true and false.
To put it bluntly.
If you want to test a 'magician', another 'magician' is undoubtedly the best candidate.
Isn’t there a person who happens to be here right now?
Tsuchimikado was silent.
And as if to prove his statement, the girl also spoke coldly.
"Is that so? But why do I feel that you are more like the kind of person who would stab someone in the back?"
The other party exposed it without mercy.
Now, even the meaning of denial is lost.
"...Are you also a magician?"
Tsuchimikado said, putting away his exaggerated acting skills.
This question is somewhat redundant to ask now, so it is more like he is asking and answering himself as if to confirm.
Aleister deliberately confused the two sisters' information, probably just for this moment.
Tsuchimikado sighed.
However, that bastard probably didn't expect that little girl to have such a big secret hidden in her body, so he missed one opportunity after another.
His "plan" may have to change again.
Thinking of this, Tsuchimikado suddenly felt a little sympathy for someone who was frozen into a statue.
Maybe, he is the most unlucky one.
"Hmm? Didn't the person behind you tell you anything?"
The girl answered the questions vaguely, and she liked this feeling a little bit.
This made Tsuchimikado feel very deflated.
He wrinkled his face and had no choice but to continue.
"So, what are you going to do?"
Tsuchimikado glanced around.
Maybe it was because he was stopped before he could take action, which left him room for dialogue.
"The matter has become such a big deal, don't you still want to escape unscathed?"
Probably no one knows better than him what it means for a magician whose identity is exposed to still want to stay in Academy City.
"You should have heard of my title."
She didn't answer directly.
The 'superpower' who crossed Tsuchimikado and came to Fremia gently picked up her sister.
"The idiot who wants to use any means to exchange his own existence value for the right to speak has no idea of the importance of his actions, and this is the first time this child has used his own abilities."
In other words, although no one lost their life through timely guidance, many innocent people were still injured to varying degrees.
And until this incident is dealt with, the oncoming security team cannot be 100% trusted.
If you think about it carefully, there are quite a lot of troubles you need to face.
It is even more impossible to leave it to the two 'initiators' on the stage.
"So, someone has to come and deal with the aftermath."
Her tone was very calm, as if she was going to do an ordinary thing.
"If we let things end hastily like this, when she wakes up, what qualifications do I have to preach seriously."
The girl smiled fondly.
Then.
"Besides you, there should be others hiding in the dark, right?"
She glanced at the boy in sunglasses next to her with the corner of her sight.
The latter raised his head slightly but did not answer.
And she didn't need to answer.
"One by one... it would be a waste of time to wait for them all to show up on their own."
"Then let's settle everything at once."
A clear voice made the decision.
Tsuchimikado didn't know the reason for her saying that.
until.
So far.
Everything that was 'normal' disappeared in the next second.
Abnormal noises arose.
Tsuchimikado's eyes widened.
Now, this moment.
As one of the closest spectators, he could neither speak nor describe.
Just look, can only look.
A few steps away.
The girl who closed her eyes was weaving the world with "sound".
ah--
Ahhh——
No lyrics, no score.
What floats in the air are parameters that the human brain cannot understand.
Everyone stopped and looked at their hands and bodies blankly.
The lost power keeps overflowing.
The ice and snow disappear, and at the end of the melt is the resurrected earth.
The sun penetrates the clouds, bringing new life to the performer's world.
Wherever the sound of heaven sounds——
A person who sings the blessings of gods in a mortal body.
...ahhh.
Is this what happened?
Tsuchimikado finally understood what the sense of disobedience he felt was.
People with super powers cannot use magic.
And the miraculous scene in front of us is even more inclined to the category of "magic".
Her so-called 'superpowers' are all disguises.
Really.
Tsuchimikado smiled bitterly.
What the hell is this.
Aleister, the founder and chairman of Academy City, was once a magician.
Now, one of the most powerful people in Academy City is also a magician.
Once these two pieces of news get out, the system built by the entire world will be in turmoil.
Tsuchimikado is simply unimaginable.
Just when he was alone and filled with emotion.
The "song" like "Tian Yin" also comes to an end.
Just like she said, everything...at least appears to have been resolved.
No one needs to be admitted to the hospital for this.
Those who came with 'malice' among the guards fell into a deep sleep.
The second ice statue was retained, giving him the needed presence in another form.
To accomplish this, it only took one "song".
So what exactly is it?
Tsuchimikado suppressed some suspicion deeply in his heart.
