Magical Index: Become a Girl and Come to Academy City

"Ahhh, this rain is really annoying."

The orange-haired girl ran in the rain, complaining about the sudden accident.

The girl originally planned to go to the hospital today to meet Kamijou Touma by chance and improve her favorability, but she didn't expect to be stopped by the rain halfway. What bad luck.

"What the hell is going on in Academy City? The rain is coming half an hour earlier than the weather forecast." She couldn't help but curse. "Who told me to arrive in Academy City late? If it were back when the 'Tree Diagram Designer' was still around, the rainfall schedule could be predicted to the second, and this wouldn't have happened."

Although you can legitimately go to the hospital after catching a cold, it is better to go when you are in good health.

On the opposite side, a girl with long dark red hair wearing a school uniform and a black pleated skirt was walking slowly. She didn't seem to care about the rain. She just lowered her head and moved woodenly.

When she saw her, Tianchuan Gong felt a flicker of doubt in her mind. She seemed to have seen her somewhere before, but she had no impression of her. She didn't think too much about it, just brushed past her and ran back to the dormitory.

What’s infuriating is that when I arrived at the dormitory, the rain had stopped and my clothes were already soaked.

"Oh, if I had known I wouldn't have come back and just found some shelter from the rain," she grumbled. Her luck was truly terrible. She wondered if it was because Kamijou Touma's "Imagine Breaker" had ruined her luck yesterday.

The bathtub in the dormitory was very large. You could lie down in it with your arms and legs spread out. As the steam rose, mist filled the entire room. Water droplets from your hair flowed down your neck, leaving only your head and two balls floating on the water.

She squinted her eyes and looked at her fingers soaked in hot water. The skin had turned white and wrinkled.

"It seems that it has been soaked for too long. The skin has become wrinkled. Wait, skin? Human skin?" Tianchuan Gong's eyes widened instantly.

"A beauty is held captive in human skin! That girl is a beauty held captive in human skin!"

She couldn't help but scream, and suddenly stood up, put on her clothes, and ran out desperately without even drying her hair.

"Damn it, why didn't I recognize it earlier."

Renpi Jiemei is not a character in the original novel, but a supporting role in the spin-off.

In the original story, she jumps into a river, feeling she has accomplished nothing. Later, the DA, the secret organization of Academy City, installs a DA prototype machine and inserts a low-level magical Spirit Card into it, amplifying its power and turning it into a Level 4 mechanical weapon. Although Esther Rosenthal later implants a virtual soul into her body to allow it to continue to move, she remains in a state of death.

"No, I must save her." Tianchuan Gong swore secretly in his heart.

The Third Bridge in the Seventh School District.

By the time we arrived, the crowd at the scene was about to disperse.

"Damn it, is it too late?" She lowered her head in anger, clenched her teeth, and suddenly remembered something, "No, that's not right. If I remember the original plot, there's still a chance."

Thinking of this, Tianchuan Gong stood on the bridge and looked for it. Finally, she saw a white vehicle with a fire axe logo by the river. On the surface, it was a vehicle of the Advanced Situation Rescue Team, but she knew that this was not the case.

Those guys are actually members of the "DA".

Tianchuan Gong ran down the bridge frantically. The human skin and beauty were carried into the car by two men. A woman was filling a tank with river water by the river.

"Damn it, I'm going to miss it. I'll have to use my ability."

"Teleport," a spatial ability, allows one to instantly teleport to distant locations, disregarding the rules of three-dimensional space. The principle behind this is to first transcend three-dimensional thinking and locate one's coordinates in the eleventh dimension, then calculate the movement vector. The most complex part of this is calculating the corresponding coordinates in the three-dimensional and eleventh dimensions.

She is only at level 3, and her ability limit is to move a mass of 50.2 kilograms. The maximum moving distance is 30.6 meters. Moreover, due to the strength of her computing power, it takes five seconds to complete the calculation for one move.

After the woman finished filling the water, she was about to stand up when she saw an orange-haired girl rushing towards her. Before she could even begin to wonder, the girl vanished from sight. With a sharp pain in the back of her head, she collapsed to the ground.

"Have a good sleep."

After the fight, Tianchuan Palace changed into the other person's white long coat and mask, and covered his orange hair with a hat.

"Hey, are you ready?" A man's urging voice came from the car.

She walked into the car and made an OK gesture. The two men nodded, seemingly not noticing that Tianchuan Gong was taller than the woman.

The car door was closed, and the girl with crimson hair was lying weakly in the middle of the car. She was surrounded by a completely enclosed space with only a screen showing the outside of the car. The red light of the instruments illuminated the surroundings, like hell.

The girl slowly opened her eyes, but she couldn't stop feeling sad. "Uh, I'm still alive? I can't even commit suicide. Really, no matter what I do, I will fail."

Tianchuan Gong couldn't help but make a sound: "She regained consciousness."

The bespectacled man next to her, focused on the skin-covered beauty, didn't seem to notice the change in tone. He simply said indifferently, "So that's it. Is it Level 2 'Anger Ability'? She's a good, well-suited body with the right conditions, and her abilities are suitable for combat. Most importantly, she's the one who committed the 'evil' of suicide."

"Okay, let's just deal with it like this."

"I see. Then, after jumping into the river, Renpi Jiemei drowned due to ineffective rescue efforts."

As he spoke, the man beside him grabbed the pipe and poured river water into the girl's mouth, completely ignoring her struggles and whimpers.

That’s right, the cause of death of Renpi Jiamei was not drowning, but after failing to jump into the river, he was deliberately murdered by "DA" who used his body as a weapon.

"Is this liquid okay? It won't be exposed during the autopsy, right?" the man asked.

Tianchuan Gong clutched the bag under his white robe and replied nervously, "I used river water."

"Don't worry, your body will be used for our justice."

"For the teachings of the DA."

The vehicle turned from the empty riverside to the city. Tianchuan Palace took a deep breath. It was time.

bang~

The hypnotic gas released white smoke in the car, and the two people were instantly confused.

"What's going on! What happened? Stop the car!"

With the sound of a sudden brake, Tianchuan Palace looked at the scenery outside the window and calculated the position.

Five, four, three, two, one, the human skin lying on the car disappeared.

The two were shocked: "What's going on? Isn't she at level 2 of "Anger Ability"? Why can she move through space?" Then they looked at Tianchuan Palace who was calm and composed.

"It's you! It's you who did it! How dare you obstruct our justice?" The two men roared like crazy, and then a fist came straight to their faces with the sound of wind.

But unfortunately, the five seconds had already passed, and she disappeared from the spot. The man's fist hit the carriage, making a sound of cracking knuckles. As his hand was pinched in pain, he fell to the ground under the influence of the hypnotic gas.

Xixiong, who was driving, got out of the car to check. Seeing this scene, he cursed angrily and then took out the baton with electric current from his backpack.

But unfortunately, there were many buildings in the surrounding streets, and the ability of "long-range shooting" had disappeared without a trace.

Tianchuan Palace threw away his white clothes, held the girl with crimson hair in his arms, and ran towards the hospital.
