Magical Index: Become a Girl and Come to Academy City

In the past, Hamazura Shiage met someone at the Information Center of Cliff University.

That person was a Level 0 powerless person completely different from himself, a man with a spiky hair. That person said to him:

"If you use the combined power of all Level 0s to help those who are weaker, your stance will change! Use all your abilities to fight back against powerful espers and lend a hand to those in need. Then the people of Academy City will recognize you!"

Then the man punched him hard.

He woke up after this punch. Because his elder brother Reid Komaba was injured and hospitalized, he had been confused and didn't know what path to choose.

It's different now.

Hamazura raised his head and said to the girl in front of him, "So what if I don't have abilities? That hedgehog-haired guy is also powerless and he can save others, so why can't I? Kinuhata and you both need to be well today!"

"Hamazura..." A gleam flashed in the eyes of the weak Takitsubo Riko.

He was not chosen by anyone and did not have any decent qualifications, but he stood up to become a hero in order to protect the one he cherished most.

Now in her eyes, Hamazura was just like that, and his original image of being vulgar and liking bunny girls was completely gone.

Suddenly, Hamazura raised his leg and gave the elevator a vicious kick, cursing, "Damn it! Why is this elevator so slow? It's taking so long!"

"Uh..." Takitsubo's eyes lit up as he lowered his eyelids again. "You really do ruin the atmosphere. But it doesn't matter. Even if it's the uncultured Hamazura, I'll still support him."

Maybe it was because of the two kicks, but the elevator that had been delayed for so long finally stopped at his floor.

A crisp electronic sound rang out, and the metal automatic doors opened to the left and right.

Hamazura was overjoyed to see this, but the sound of footsteps behind him made his heart sink.

"I've found you, the true core of the 'Tool'."

The second strongest LV5 esper, who surpassed Mai Ye Shenli, slowly approached them.

"Let's go!" Hamazura prepared to push Takitsubo's petite body toward the elevator.

However, Takitsubo reached out to Hamazura instead.

The two of them spun in circles like a ballroom dancer, switching positions. Takitsubo pushed Hamazura toward the elevator, pressed the button for the B1 floor, where the underground parking lot was, and closed the elevator door so tightly that no one could pass through.

The sudden action surprised Hamazura, who had no time to react and fell to the ground. "What the hell are you doing?"

"I'm sorry, Hamazura." She just looked at him gently.

From the other side of the automatic doors that closed on both sides, Takitsubo stared at him and said, "Hamazura is a LV0 user without esper abilities, and I'm a LV4 user with a high esper ability, so as someone with a higher level, I should be able to protect you."

"..."

The elevator doors are fully closed.

Hamazura sat on the floor, his back against the wall, looking up at the ceiling and muttering to himself, "So not all espers think my life is worthless. That hedgehog-haired guy was right after all."

“Damn it!” Hamazura cursed under his breath. “This lousy elevator is so slow to arrive, but the doors close so quickly!”

He couldn't accept this fact, so he punched the elevator's control cabinet and hit the emergency stop button inside.

The elevator stopped falling.

Hamazura quickly pried open the elevator door with his hands, and the ceilings of the 24th and 25th floors separated him from the other side.

He jumped hard and climbed out from the 25th floor, and then he saw this scene.

Takitsubo Rikou swallowed the powder in the box in one gulp, trying to push the limit of her ability.

Kakine cracked his neck joints. "This guy is really desperate. He actually tried to interfere with the AIM diffusion field I released and hijack my abilities. Really."

Then, for some reason, Takitsubo Rikou fell to the ground and stopped moving.

Hamazura got anxious. He pulled out his pistol and yelled, "What did you do to her, you bastard!"

He wanted to shoot, but he couldn't pull the trigger. To be more precise, he was reluctant to shoot.

A girl in a gorgeous dress walked out from the corner behind Kakine.

Possessing the ability to "regulate psychology," Umi Gokusai adjusts the psychological distance between herself and Hamazura Shiage until her relationship is the same as that with Rikou Takitsubo.

I couldn't shoot. I knew Takitsubo and the woman in the Western dress were different people, but I couldn't shoot.

At this point, Kakine Teito spoke up, "You're talking as if I'm responsible for her being like this. Well, she's used up so many Body Crystals that she can't use her search ability anymore. This trip was a complete waste."

"What did you say? What 'body crystal'? Is it the thing that turned her into this?" Hamazura's expression was stiff.

Kakine kicked the small transparent box toward Hamazura. "That Kihara Gensei guy once conducted an experiment to analyze the laws governing uncontrolled abilities by using a detonation technique. It resulted in a group of children being comatose for years. This 'body crystal' is the result of that experiment. It can enhance abilities in a short period of time."

"But this state can't be maintained for too long. Even if I don't use my ability from now on for the rest of my life, it'll be fine. But if I use it one or two more times, this woman will collapse."

"You don't know, do you? This woman has been eating this stuff all the time." Kakine Teito looked at Hamazura with his eyes slanted.

"Since the target is useless, let's go." Yu Cai Haimei suggested.

Kakine nodded, and the two of them left the place, leaving Hamazura standing frozen in place.

"You'll die if you use this thing!" Hamazura used his trembling hands to help the girl up from the ground. Fortunately, she still had a chance of survival.

At this moment, his cell phone suddenly rang.

"Hamazura, is Takitsubo on your side?" Mugino Shiori's voice came.

He asked with concern, "Are you okay? Didn't you fight Kakine and…?"

"Can you please stop being so blunt? We're going to launch a counterattack against the 'school'. I'm going to use Takitsubo's ability to track her down. If she's with you, bring her here as soon as possible. I'm going to make her give me the results even if it means death," Maiya ordered sternly.

Finally, Hamazura couldn't help but retort, "Mugino, it's about time you came to your senses! You should realize you can't beat him. What's the point of continuing to chase him like this? Takitsubo's already gone!"

"So what?" a cold voice came, "Frenda betrayed me, and I'm coming to find you now. If you disobey my orders, I will destroy you and Takitsubo together!"

The phone hangs up.

Hamazura didn't react much, he knew Mugino's character, and after placing Kinuhata in place, he carried Takitsubo on his back and left.

On the other hand, opposite the "Tool" base, the interior of the dilapidated building that was bombed by the missile was intact.

Stephanie arrived at this place, followed by Kihara Tenkawa in a white robe and Hongzome Jielifeishu who looked reluctant.

Tianchuan used "Eleventh Dimension Zhiya" to block the aftermath of the missile explosion and protect the sand dish density and magnetic sniper cannon.

"So, you helped me save him, and what do you want me to do for you?" Stephanie looked at the woman in the researcher's robe.

Tianchuan leaned against the sniper cannon and said, "It's very simple. You join our new Anbu consisting of four people, and then help me complete a mission. I will repay you for this favor."

Shashanzhimi frowned, "The four of us?"

Tianchuan quickly corrected: "No, you don't have to join, just let the magnetic sniper cannon join."

Then she called to Hong Ran next to her, "Let's go, let's go find the last member."
