Magical Index: Become a Girl and Come to Academy City

In the hospital, the frog-faced doctor gave some instructions. Fortunately, she was easily saved, otherwise her relatives were not around and Tianchuan Palace would not be able to make a decision.

Tianchuan Gong took a deep breath and walked into the ward, looking at the girl curled up in a ball on the bed.

"Why did you save me?" Xiemei spoke first, asking in a weak voice.

"Well, I don't think I have any reason not to save you. After all, I just happened to see it, so there's no way I wouldn't save you."

When the girl heard this, her eyes flickered.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Tianchuan Gong tried to continue the conversation: "My name is Tianchuan Gong, um, can I call you Xie Mei?"

She buried half of her face in her knees and nodded slightly.

Although it is a bit too intimate to call her by her name when we just met, it is indeed hard to accept her last name, Renpi. It is a bit scary to use Renpi as a last name. It is more comfortable to call her by her name.

"In short, you don't have to worry about Xie Mei. Those guys probably won't come again." Tianchuan Gong comforted.

But the girl was timid and said in a low voice: "Tianchuan, I'm sorry to trouble you. I will thank you very much."

Tianchuan Palace looked at Xiemei and suddenly felt sad.

Ring bell…

As the phone rang, the nurse came over and said, "Ren Pi Jie Mei, we've contacted your family for you. Do you need us to convey your situation?"

"No! No need, I can do it myself." The girl panicked and quickly picked up the phone, saying softly, "Hello, Mom."

A blaming female voice came from the other end of the phone: "Xie Mei! What the hell are you doing? You haven't answered my calls since last night. When did you become like this? Xie Mei, are you listening? Where are you?"

Xie Mei replied timidly, like a child who had done something wrong: "I'm listening, I'm listening, I'm in the dormitory."

Obviously, Xiemei didn't want her mother to know that she was in the hospital, so she lied.

The tone on the other end began to grow heavier.

"Xie Mei, you're increasingly disappointing me. Not only are you lazy and not working hard, you even disobey me. I'm working so hard to get you into the best educational city, and yet you're only at Level 2. You're even deceiving me and using things like the 'Illusionary Hand' behind my back."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." The girl's voice was trembling as she just kept apologizing.

Tianchuan Gong's heart tightened. She couldn't believe that this was a conversation between mother and daughter. It seemed that she was not disciplining her daughter, but complaining to others about her investment failure in the same tone as others.

She couldn't help but interrupt: "Can you please stop talking like that? She is your daughter, shouldn't you care about her?"

The person on the other end of the phone asked, "Who are you?"

She took a deep breath and answered steadily, "I'm Xie Mei's friend. Didn't you just say she used the 'Illusion Hand'? Don't you know that those who used the 'Illusion Hand' had their brain waves affected, causing them to fall into a coma? Your daughter was in great danger back then."

The other end said calmly, "What's so complicated about brain waves? It's just a coma for a while. After waking up, he was still alive and kicking. Humph, I was quite happy when he said he had reached LV4, but I didn't expect it was just a trick like this. He tried to deceive me, and in the end, he was only at the lighter level of LV2."

A... lighter? He actually compared her to a lighter.

Tianchuan Gong looked down at Xie Mei. Her eyes were red and swollen, and she covered her mouth so that the other end of the phone wouldn't hear her sobs.

She said angrily: "That's enough. You actually used such an extreme metaphor as a lighter to describe her. Do you know that she is..."

The words were on the tip of her tongue but she suddenly choked, and Xie Mei also gave her a pleading look.

No, I can't tell anyone about her jumping into the river. Her mother is in the condition she is in, and if I tell anyone, she will only be criticized and blamed more.

Tianchuan Gong was silent for a long time, and the person on the other end of the phone asked impatiently: "What good things did she do today?"

"She participated in an experimental project at our school today...about the effects of liquid combustion, and she performed very well," Tianchuan Gong replied with a serious face. Xie Mei's expression also began to relax, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, a cold voice came from the other end: "Really? Then she is still somewhat useful, so be it."

beep...

Without any hesitation, without a final farewell, and even without wanting to spend a little more time, he hung up decisively.

Tianchuan stood there in a daze for a while, then slowly approached the bed. Xiemei finally couldn't help but buried her face in Tianchuan Gong's arms, wrapping her arms around his waist. Although he couldn't hear her voice, he could feel her trembling breathing and tears soaking through her clothes, and she was crying silently.

Looking at this girl, she seemed to understand the obsession of Ryoko Saten and the others with their ability levels, but unfortunately, this girl did not have friends and family like Ryoko Saten to encourage her.

It is easy to save a person but difficult to save his heart. Tianchuan Palace could not say anything to Jiemei's mother. She was just an outsider and could not enter into this relationship, let alone deal with this contradiction.

The most difficult thing in the world is the conflict between relatives. The difference between family affection and love is that love can be chosen, but family affection is destined from the beginning.

Therefore, once a loved one hurts you, there is no way for it to end perfectly, because the relationship cannot be ended, and the hurt between relatives is huge and no one can bear it.

The best ending is to stay away from this relationship as much as possible and put yourself in an environment without the source of harm, without contact or communication. But this is painful for someone who has been in contact with relatives since childhood. Many people simply cannot do it, and even if they do, it is just a matter of closing the stable door after the horse has bolted. It only stops the pain after enduring the pain, but it does not mean that the previous pain will disappear. And this is still the best ending.

There are no beautiful fairy tales in reality. When you encounter such a thing, you either lose or run away. There is no option of winning, but running away can at least make amends. The only person who can be saved is the victim himself.

Somewhere in school district 16.

Ryogata Mikihiko, the blond young scientist, was lazily leaning on his chair with a lollipop in his mouth, listening to Nishio's summary on the screen with boredom.

"It's because of a space-type ability user who even knew the name of our 'DA' and obstructed our pursuit of justice that we..."

"Okay, okay, I got it." Himegaki Kanbiko couldn't help but interrupt Xixiong's report, "To put it simply, you failed. Really, you can't even transport back an immobile LV2? You don't have to be so bad at doing things. After all, you were security guards before." Then he was speechless and even felt contempt for it.

The voice on the screen suddenly became excited: "No, we are different from those security guards. We are the real justice. How could those guys possibly understand..."

Yamagata Mikihiko raised his voice, interrupting the other party and saying, "There's no point in arguing with me about this kind of thing. You should think carefully about how to make amends. And next time when you report, don't mention the word justice so often. I'm tired of hearing it. There are only 58 people in Academy City who can use human skin and space-type abilities. They should be found quickly by searching the surrounding hospitals."

Then, a girl with tubes stuck in her back leaned against the man intimately, and the screen showed surveillance footage of the orange-haired girl carrying Jie Mei into the hospital, as well as her identity information.

Ryoga Kanbiku became excited as if he had found a treasure: "Zhimei, you have found it for me, you are worthy of being my sister." Suddenly, Ryoga Kanbiku seemed to have discovered something again.

"Eh? Isn't this space-type ability user the same target as before? What a coincidence."

"Amakawa-kun." Himegata Mikihiko smiled sinisterly at the orange-haired girl on the screen.
