Chapter 679 Tradition and Modernity

 It was evening. Due to the loss of 10,000 yen in living expenses, Kamijou Touma could only go to the convenience store to buy some bread. On the way home, he met the discharge girl from Tokiwadai. Apparently she had not recovered from the shadow of failure.

He walked out of the house and vowed to defeat Touma.

Misaka Mikoto was very unhappy with Touma calling her a discharge girl, but it seemed that the two parties had not introduced each other, and there was nothing they could do about it. She was so angry, how could she be defeated by such a lackluster guy?

It's a pity that Touma didn't want to spar anymore, so he ran away from the discharge girl's eyes. He went home before he had any bad luck today.

Humming a little tune and carrying a convenience bag from the supermarket, Touma was in a good mood. Today, his cell phone just broke. Unfortunately, this mood could only end there. A bloody nun was lying at the door of his house.

There were no cameras around, and the girl was the one he knew. The faint fragrance mixed with the fishy smell of blood entered Touma's nose, all coming from the girl. This wound was indeed life-threatening.

"Hello?" Don't die here, Touma said excitedly, "Telephone, phone..." He felt all over his body before he remembered that his mobile phone had been scrapped.

He wanted to pick her up, but he heard footsteps behind him. He turned around and saw a tall, thin, red-haired man in a cloak walking from the far side of the corridor. He was wearing several earrings and a ring with seven or eight skulls on his cheek under his left eye.

He also has a barcode tattooed on him, like a hippie: "WHOAREYOU?" This is the second time today that he asked who you are in English.

But the answer was still in Japanese: "Oh, oh, serious injury. The mobile church should be able to defend against Kanzaki's attack, but I don't know why this is the result."

Doesn’t this guy know that barcodes are obsolete? Nowadays, QR codes are king. Touma’s first thought when he saw this young man was so far-fetched, but he immediately thought that this guy is not a magic association hunting nuns.

?It must be so. Damn it, he was so rude to a girl. I will never forgive him.

"Did you attack her?"

"This was an accident, we are only responsible for recycling."

The word "recycling" stung Touma. Was Index trash? "Ah, ah, I haven't been this angry for a long time." Standing in front of the fallen girl, Touma was extremely angry: "Whether it's a magician or a superpower.

Please tell me your name."

"Stiyl Magnus, the magic name is 'Strong'. Don't you know? We magicians can only use magic names when using magic. This tradition has always troubled me. Hey, you

Why are you looking at me with such ferocious eyes? I'm just completing my mission, and you don't want the girl to fall into the hands of evil people who can use magic. After being tortured with poison, even a kind person can get out of her mouth

During the interrogation, the contents of one hundred and three thousand magic books were revealed. You don’t want to see this result, right? So you weirdly handed her over to me.”

Touma was completely irritated by the fact that he had done something wrong and still spoke so plausibly, "Come on, I will definitely protect Index."

"You don't overestimate your capabilities. You don't understand what magic is - a gift that gives pain to giants." Hot flames suddenly appeared from the top of Steele's head, like a living snake circling. This is a surprising magical power.

But when Steele looked at the young man, he didn't see the young man's surprise, but saw the incomparable calmness in his eyes. Although this man was not from the magical world, he was so calm for some reason, "Have you ever seen magic?"

"I haven't seen it before, but your flames are too childish. Compared to the volcanoes in Hawaii, they are just like the flames of a candle. Come on, I'm going to beat you up." Kamijou Touma does not advocate violence.

, but when the hot-blooded young man’s blood boils, he will strike without mercy.

"Big words—Vampire Cross!" The flaming blades crossed into a cross and struck towards Touma.

"It's not hot at all!" Touma gritted his teeth and raised his right hand to crush the flame.

The flame was eliminated? What kind of ability is this? By the way, the Mobile Church was also destroyed by this ability. Steele's brain quickly calculated and found that his flame attack would be broken by the opponent's right hand. Then take a look at this

To the extent of my right hand, victory is still my own, "The five original elements, the great fire element, the flame that breeds life, turns into the power to cleanse evil, the king of hunting witches -"

As the chanting was completed, a huge flame giant appeared in the corridor, which seemed to be magma wrapped in flames. "How about this?"

Touma's right hand can eliminate supernatural powers, but the supernatural powers of the Hunting Witch King seem to be pouring out in an endless stream, and Touma's right hand cannot fully bear it. The surrounding oxygen is consumed, and the temperature of the air continues to rise. Although the flames cannot burn Touma,

But lack of oxygen and high temperature can still kill him.

"With your strength, even if I give you another chance, you will not be my opponent." Seeing that the flames had completely surrounded the enemy, Steele was relieved.

"It turns out that magic is like this, and it's not much more than superpowers." Touma's voice came from the flames, "Magician, have you never heard of acupoints?"

...Why can he still speak in the flames? This kind of thing is completely unscientific. No, it does not conform to the formulas of magic and the teachings of the church. Steele forced himself to calm down. He really didn’t understand the acupuncture points. He just listened.

As mentioned before, although Steele is as tall as a young man, he is actually only fourteen years old and does not have much time to understand knowledge other than magic formulas.

"The so-called acupuncture points, also known as festivals, meetings, qi points, and qi palaces, are 720 good electrical and magnetic guidance points all over the body. By controlling the acupoints, you can control your own body. It is the world's greatest discovery by the Yellow Emperor in ancient China.

One of the miracles of the human body. By stimulating a combination of acupuncture points in the body, the body can exert unexpected power. Do you know this technology?"

I don't know, Steele doesn't know.

"This technique has been passed down for thousands of years and is called the Fist of the North Star." Touma's voice kept coming from the dancing flames, making the magician nervous.

Fist of the North Star??What is that?

Before Steele came back to his senses, he saw the flames restless. A fist suddenly flew out of the flames, unable to escape. A strong punch hit the magician on the cheek, causing him to stand upright.

He flew out and hit the wall at the end of the corridor, passing out.

The flames dissipated and the white school uniform had been burned. Only Kamijou Touma's naked upper body muscles were comparable to those of a fitness instructor. He was completely different from the thin Touma before. "Remember, this is Fist of the North Star.

It's not magic or super power, it just stimulates the acupuncture points to increase the activity of physical cells to the extreme. Feel the rage in my fists!" Even his original pretty face turned into the look of a tough man with a knife and axe, and his hair

The roots stand up.

Acupuncture points are generally located in gaps or depressions in bones, and a few are located at the intersection of nerves and blood vessels. Stimulating acupuncture points will directly affect the operation of body functions, changes in blood, bones, muscles, nerves, and even metabolism. This series of changes is not based on

Superpowers are the body's own adjustments to external stimuli. It's like the same car, which can only drive sixty yards normally, but after being adjusted by a senior technician, it can easily drive a hundred yards. But the car

Still the same car unchanged.

Of course, even if ordinary people stimulate their acupuncture points in the same way, they will be stronger at most and not be as exaggerated as Touma. Touma grew up eating all kinds of nutritious magical foods, and also went through painful training. His body density has become superhuman, and with Beidou

Only the Divine Fist can have such a shocking effect of being invulnerable to water and fire.

After easily defeating the enemy, Touma immediately thought that there were injured people who needed to be treated. He quickly took the girl home and picked up the landline phone. But when he called the hospital, he hesitated because he was not sure whether the magician was special.

The place, and the academy city has very strict population control, the hospital may not accept a suspicious outsider.

At this time, due to excessive blood loss, the automatic script in Index's body was activated. The automatic script is to protect Index, to be precise, it is a powerful magic that protects one hundred and three thousand magic books. The essence of this magic is in Index.

A simulated personality is constructed in Index's body and can use all the books in the brain. Because the magic is realized through Index's body, Touma's right hand cannot touch Index's body.

Eliminate it.

"Use magical healing."

"?what should I do?"

"Magic is not prepared for those of you who are gifted. Magic is a technology that allows people without talent to gain the power of gifted people. The prerequisite for use is a non-talented person."

Damn it, Touma understands this sentence. It means that people with super powers cannot do it. It would be easier in Hawaii. Who should I look for now? Teacher, yes, teacher. Every student in school uses drugs, although

Many students are still at level zero, but in fact their bodies already have the conditions to develop superpowers. But the teachers in the city are ordinary people. They only participate in the development of superpowers, but they are just ordinary people themselves.

He went to find Teacher Xiaomeng. She was a good friend of his eldest cousin and would definitely be able to help him. Touma made up his mind to immediately carry the wounded on his back and set off.

Simply put, the magic in this world is the same as Chinese medicine. Chinese medicine boils various unrelated medicinal materials into a bowl of water and drinks it to cure diseases. Without modern scientific instruments for testing, no one understands why these things are mixed.

It can cure diseases.

The same is true for magic. Magic formulas, magic circles, chants, or the way objects are placed are related to time. There seems to be no connection, but using a specific method at a specific time can produce unexpected effects. The principle is

It is an existence that cannot be explained by the current level of science.

Because both Chinese medicine and magic have real effects, they should also be science, a science that is not understood. Every world has science that is similar to the unknown, such as alchemy in the steel world, and detonating talismans in the Naruto world.

and seal scrolls, etc.

The magic of this world is precision technology prepared to work by following strict formulas.

The science and magic in this world are actually very similar. The scientific superpowers in this world are not obtained through organ modification or genetic evolution, but exist because of the AIM diffusion field. Hypnosis, drugs, physical stimulation, and various means are used to make the human body

By enhancing the AIM diffusion field, you can gain superpowers according to their respective characteristics. Of course, there can only be one superpower, and the brain cannot handle more.

This model is a typical scientific discovery model, just like the discovery of Minovsky particles in the Gundam world changed the mode of war. The discovery of the AIM diffusion field also represents a great change in the world and the rise of Academy City.

But not everyone has an AIM diffusion force field. People with force fields are called gifted people and cannot use magic. Just as the rise of modern medicine conflicts with traditional Chinese medicine, the rise of superpowers also conflicts with traditional magic.

Conflict. So when Duran, who is far away in Hawaii, writes "Magic in Ancient and Modern Times, On the Scientific Amount of Traditional Magic", both the magic world and the scientific world will face an impact.
