Magical Index: Become a Girl and Come to Academy City

Tianchuan Gong put down the phone and sighed.

Himegami Aisa is fine, and there is no news from Shokuhou Misaki. It is not urgent for her, so there is plenty of time to set up the tree diagram.

At least so far, everything is fine in her eyes. The only thing to do now is to get away from Lidoviya.

Running away secretly was not an option. If she did, she would definitely become suspicious and chase after her. Although she had the ability of "long-range shooting", she was not sure that she could definitely escape from the hands of a high-level magician.

The best way is to continue pretending to be a passerby and say goodbye naturally.

She closed her phone, but behind her, Lidoviya, who had just returned from talking with Orianna, glanced at it unconsciously and saw the number on Tianchuan Gong's phone, frowning slightly.

In order to prevent technology leaks, Academy City is isolated from the outside world, not only in terms of transportation. Academy City is isolated from the general outside world network and has formed its own network.

Based on the population of the city, Academy City's telephone number is also different from that of the outside world, with only 8 digits.

Lidoviya had learned a little about it before coming, so even if he didn't see the digits of the number clearly, just by looking at the length he knew that the person on the other end of Tianchuan Palace's phone was from Academy City.

But she didn't say anything, just sat down calmly.

Tianchuan Palace hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively: "Lidovia, I still have to go somewhere else. If I stay any longer, it might be a little late. Can I leave first?"

"Why? Don't you want to talk to me for a while longer? Among the people I know, you may be one of the few who can understand me." Lidvia tried to keep her.

But Tianchuan Gong stood up from his chair and said firmly: "I'm sorry, I really have to go."

Seeing that the other party was determined to leave, Lidovia suddenly said: "Ms. Tianchuan, do you believe in magic?"

"magic?"

Lidovia continued to explain: "Yes, ordinary people don't believe in things like magic, but God's miracles do exist. Miss Tianchuan, if you are willing to stay, I would be happy to tell you about magic."

Tianchuan Palace was stunned. She didn't expect the other party to suddenly say such a thing. Although magic exists widely in this world, it will not be revealed openly.

And now Lidoviya actually wanted to bring up this kind of thing on her own initiative. Although it was strange and she couldn't understand why, she really wanted to know about these things.

She was silent for a while, then relaxed and sat down again.

Lidoviya was secretly delighted and slowly said, "From nothing, the world was born infinite, which is God. God radiated infinite light. Then, from the infinite light, ten different properties of God's essence gradually differentiated. In the final kingdom, the material world was formed."

"Ten sefirot and 10 paths make up the Kabbalah Tree of Life. The tenth of these ten sefirot is the Kingdom, the material world we live in."

"The Tree of Life is a hierarchy of status. To put it simply, it divides the souls of gods, angels, and humans into ten pyramid-shaped levels. Humans can abandon their physical bodies and ascend the Tree of Life to gain higher-level knowledge. They can also descend and, at the cost of being constrained by the laws of physics, gain a stronger self."

"Magic is the result of influencing the material world through the power of several other elemental properties. The four elements that make up the world are earth, fire, wind, and water. According to your terms, earth represents solid, wind represents gas, water represents liquid, and fire represents energy."

Tianchuan Gong thought about it and realized that indeed all matter that humans can see can be classified as solid, liquid, gas or energy.

Lidoviya paused, then asked, "How is it, Miss Tianchuan, do you need me to continue introducing you?"

"You say it."

Lidoviya tempted: "Miss Tianchuan, you can also use magic. Everyone can use magic. Do you want to use magic too?"

"You said I can use magic, so how do you want me to use it?" Tianchuan Palace asked.

Lidoviya explained, "It's simple. Our magic is refined from life force. Anyone with life force can use magic. And beings like vampires who have infinite life force may also have infinite magic power."

As the topic became more and more in-depth, Tianchuan Gong felt her mouth dry and seemed to sense a sense of crisis, but she couldn't help but continue listening.

"So magic is exchanged for life?" she asked.

Lidoviya shook her head. "Not really. People with long lifespans have strong vitality and the magic power they can transform is also strong, but this doesn't mean that lifespan can be transformed into magic power. Anything with vitality has magic power, just like this planet. The dragon veins and earth veins of this planet can also transmit magic power, thus creating spiritual equipment."

"Ms. Tianchuan, vitality is like a natural mineral resource, and magic is the energy processed from these resources. Certain schools of magic, like Norse mythology, require specific magic, but most schools of magic use universal magic. As long as the correct methods and rituals are used, would you like to give it a try?"

Tianchuan Gong lowered his head, his expression serious: "Why are you telling me all this? Why are you suddenly talking to me about magic?"

Lidoviya replied: "Because I think you are someone who should learn magic. I think you should save more people like me."

"Same as you, what do you mean!"

Lidoviya took a deep breath. "A kind-hearted person like you should be blessed by God. So I want you to believe in magic, and then join me and the Roman Catholic Church in bringing salvation to the world, instead of being stuck in the quagmire of science."

Lidoviya deliberately emphasized the word "science", and the atmosphere became tense.

"No, no! I don't want to participate in any Roman political or religious affairs, and I don't want to believe in any magic. Miss Lidvia, if your preaching is based on this nonsense, I won't believe it." Tianchuan Palace stood up, grabbed the quack box next to him, and left without waiting for the other party's consent.

Tianchuan Palace certainly knew the existence of magic, but she was already a person with special abilities and could not use magic. Even if she could use it, she would not choose to join the Roman Orthodox Church.

When Lidovia saw Tianchuan Gong leaving, she did not stop him, nor did she try to keep him.

The hotel door opened and Tianchuan Gong strode out, but was suddenly blocked by an invisible force.

It's not a feeling of bumping into something or being pulled, but a feeling of being unable to move forward, not knowing whether it is active or passive.

"No, this is magic!"

Tianchuan Gong suddenly felt something was wrong and immediately used the ability of "long-range shooting", but it was useless. She couldn't teleport forward at all.
