Magical Index: Become a Girl and Come to Academy City

Kamijou Touma ran up to Orianna and asked, "Where is the Apostle Cross? Where did you put it?"

With blood in her mouth, Orianna spoke weakly, like someone who had just woken up: "That thing is not here at all. You've been fooled."

"What?" Kamijou Touma frowned.

"At its peak, the Vatican covered central Italy, centered around Rome, spanning 47,000 square kilometers. This is the area covered by the Apostolic Cross, while Academy City only covers a little over 800 square kilometers. Don't you understand by now?" Orianna smiled triumphantly, as if she had already triumphed.

In other words, the "Apostle Cross" does not need to be used inside the Academy City at all. It is also within the casting range outside the Academy City. Orianna is just a cover to divert their attention.

Kamijou Touma was stunned. All his efforts throughout the day were in vain. It was now 6:28 and there were less than two minutes left until the start time.

So we have to find Lidvia, who is hiding outside Academy City, within these two minutes, contact someone who can get there as quickly as possible, and then defeat her and destroy the "Apostle Cross"?

How is this possible!

There are only a little over a hundred seconds left. How can he find it? And how can he defeat a magician in a little over a hundred seconds? No, there is no time to even rush over. There is not even anyone to contact.

But Kamijou Touma still wanted to give it a try, so he picked up his phone and searched through the address book.

Index, Misaka Mikoto, and a bunch of other people's phone numbers that he left before he lost his memory but whom he didn't recognize now, but he couldn't find any of them.

"Asshole! What should I do?" Kamijou yelled, but he couldn't come up with a decisive counterattack strategy.

Tianchuan Gong's face was pressed against the ground, and the breath from his nose and lips blew the dust on the concrete floor.

Lidoviya kindly straightened her face and said calmly, "It's okay. Everything will be over in a few seconds. I will treat you then. Now you just watch. Okay, I will save both you and Academy City."

Then she added sadly, "It's a pity that you can't use magic. But it doesn't matter. Even if you never use magic in your life, you can still work as a secretary in the Roman Orthodox Church, and we can still be good friends."

The light of the star shines on the cross, and the final moment has arrived.

five four three two one.

Fireworks are rising.

Fireworks of unprecedented scale bloomed in the sky above Academy City, dividing the light and darkness between the ground and the sky. Even the city on the ground was lit up with decorative light bulbs, neon lights, laser lights, focus lights, etc. It can be said that this was the brightest moment of Academy City.

Such bright fireworks are like the sun rising, covering up the light of the stars.

This enormous light not only enveloped Academy City, but also the vast area surrounding Academy City, including the location of Lidvia and the "Apostle Cross".

"What!" Lidoviya looked at the light of the fireworks with an expression of disbelief.

There was no movement at the Apostle's Cross.

The world's highest-level spiritual equipment has very harsh conditions for activation, and the requirements for the position of the constellations are also very strict. It is so strict that Lidvia needs to come to the site to measure the position half a year in advance.

There is only one activation time of a few seconds in a year. Even if it is off by a few seconds, the position of the constellation will shift slightly and the activation will fail.

Lidoviya had a blank expression on her face, and one could only tell from her back that she had to accept the loneliness of failure.

"That's why I told you that you would lose." Tianchuan Gong's weak voice came from behind her.

Lidoviya suddenly turned around and walked over quickly, grabbing Tianchuangong's collar and asking, "So this is what you did, right? So it was because of you that you reported the incident that Academy City took precautions in advance, which led to the failure of our plan."

Tianchuan Gong's eyes widened. She didn't expect that Lidoviya would suddenly blame all this on her. She explained anxiously: "No, it wasn't me. I didn't do these things."

"You still want to lie to me now, or have you been acting since we met, pretending to be a stranger, pretending not to know magic, pretending not to be from Academy City, pretending not to have any contact with the British Puritans, and then waiting for this moment to shatter my ideals."

Lidoviya faced her face closely, so close that their foreheads seemed to be touching.

"I didn't. I really didn't lie to you. I didn't mean to hurt you. I was just trying to protect myself."

Tianchuan Palace's heart was filled with grievances and unwillingness. She didn't want to do anything to Lidoviya. She was just afraid at the beginning, but gradually felt that besides her madness and paranoia, she also had another side of compassion and mercy, and even this side was distorted.

But she didn't want to be wronged, at least she didn't want to take the blame for Academy City's betrayal of Lidvia, and she didn't want to be misunderstood by Lidvia as someone who betrayed her good intentions.

She wanted to explain something, but it was too late.

The bleeding was almost over, and Tianchuan Gong no longer felt any pain. Instead, he felt a strong sense of drowsiness.

Before closing her eyes, she imagined what would happen to her next.

Perhaps he would be taken back to the Roman Catholic Church as a prisoner, or perhaps he would be used as a hostage in exchange for Oriana Thompson, but for Academy City, he was not worth being exchanged.

Or perhaps, given Lidoviya's paranoid personality, she would be forcibly taken back for brainwashing and forced to join the Roman Orthodox Church.

In short, she now didn't even have the strength to open her eyes, let alone go to Shokuhou Misaki to deal with Kihara Gensei.

However, when Tianchuan Gong closed her eyes, what she heard was the ethereal and long singing voice, and the angelic light struggling in the cracks of her eyelids.

During the whole process, she lay there quietly, like a sleeping sculpture, motionless. Time passed quietly. When she regained her strength and opened her eyes again, she was already lying on the soft big bed in the hotel.

The scars on her body had completely disappeared, and even the broken blood vessels had reconnected. From the outside, her skin looked as smooth and delicate as if it had never been injured.

Next to her lay a Quata chest containing the Tree Diagram Designer, and on the bedside table lay a white silk cloth that had been given to her as a gift, which also served as an unfinished magic book.

At this moment, Tianchuan Gong was the only one left in the room, and Lidoviya had already left and no one knew where she went.
