Magical Index: Become a Girl and Come to Academy City

Lidoviya walked behind a pillar and took out a long strip of cardboard. After a string of scribbled words appeared inexplicably on the paper, it briefly flashed a yellow light like a mobile phone screen, and then she put it to her ear.

Aureliana's voice came from the cardboard: "Hello, is this Lidoviya? This is Aureliana Thompson."

"What happened to you?" Lidoviya went straight to the point.

Orianna said in a tone that could be misunderstood, "I don't know what methods they used, but my whereabouts have been discovered many times, and they've already found out about the Apostle Cross."

Lidoviya looked displeased and ordered, "Then please buy some time. Even if you have to give up escaping and fight them, it doesn't matter. Just drag it out until sunset at 6:30. Don't let them know that the Apostle Cross is with me."

"Hey, Lidoviya is so fierce! She really doesn't care about my life or death. If I want to fight them, it's not impossible. Looks like I have to get excited."

Lidoviya frowned slightly and corrected him in a stern tone: "Please don't say such filthy words."

On the other side, Rize Iisu and Kamijou Touma worked together to locate Orianna's whereabouts.

Orianna has a spell called "Inner and Outer Quietness" that can reduce her presence so that people cannot stop her from leaving.

Even if she walked down the street wearing such eye-catching clothes, when she turned and left, no one would think of calling her or chasing her.

The same goes for Liz Iisu's "Bird's-Eye View". When she looks down at the entire academy city with this ability, even if she discovers Orianna's whereabouts, she will automatically ignore it the next second.

Therefore, "Fantasy Breaker" is needed to interfere and remove the "inner and outer silence" to allow Rize Iisu to activate her ability, so as to achieve the purpose of real-time tracking and make this magic-side tracking blockade completely exposed to everyone.

In an abandoned factory in District 9, Jingce Kandu leaned against a tank of liquid metal.

She said to the person on the other end of the phone, "The horse farm has failed. It seems our plan has run into a major problem. Also, half an hour ago, my information was searched multiple times in the Library. It seems my existence won't last much longer."

Kihara Gensei on the other side blamed, "It's all your fault. You can't even do something like this properly. The mission has already failed in just a few hours."

"You can't blame me for this. Although I'm the middleman for the 'personnel', I'm only responsible for issuing orders. How could I have imagined that they were so weak? Besides, I'm taking a big risk by passing on false orders, but they're already taking a big risk by acting on it." Jingce Kanqu sighed and responded helplessly.

Kihara Gensei said calmly, "No matter what the reason is, failure is failure. In this case, let's use the second option and seize the "external brain" in advance."

"In advance? Didn't they say they were going to wait until tomorrow's international symposium to distract Shokuhou Misaki and then take advantage of the opportunity to invade?"

Kihara Gensho's attitude was firm. "If everything were calm, it would be fine, but the commotion at the stables has already put Shokuhou on guard. If she follows her plan, she'll definitely check again, which would be disadvantageous."

"Delays can lead to unexpected consequences. Instead of this, we might as well take the initiative. You're about to be exposed anyway, so why not show up and distract Shokuhou before she finds out more? As long as we have the 'Exo-Brain', it's acceptable for Misaka to get it a little later."

Jingce Kanqu smacked her lips, obviously unwilling to do so. This old man obviously treated her as a deer to lure a tiger, and naturally she would not agree to do such a dangerous thing.

Although he didn't see the other person's appearance, Kihara Gensei seemed to have sensed something. He started to tempt him: "Don't you want to avenge Dolly?"

Hearing this name, Jingce was suddenly reminded of his sad past. Hatred welled up in his eyes and his teeth clenched tightly.

Kihara Gensei smiled and said, "No matter from which angle you look at it, my proposal is the most likely to succeed. Destroy Academy City and obtain a Level 6 Absolute Specialist. Your goal is also my goal."

"Okay, I'll go." Jingce Kandu clenched her fists. Although she knew that the old man had no good intentions and just wanted to use her, she had to agree.

Outside Tokiwadai, Misaka said goodbye to Misaka Mikoto and left contentedly, holding the black cat.

She had just participated in several competitions on behalf of Misaka Mikoto and gained a great sense of satisfaction.

She said to the black cat in her arms, "Misaka was praised by Onee-sama's classmates today. I've only seen that feeling of being praised in comics before. Today, everyone in Tokiwadai also regarded Misaka as a hero. Misaka shared this with you with a face full of happiness."

About 50 meters behind her, a figure wearing a black cloak and whose face could not be seen was following behind her. Judging from her figure, she was the size of a young girl.

As the figure's speed increased and it was about to catch up with the Misaka, a black car suddenly drove by, and for some reason, the Misaka jumped into the car without hesitation.

The black car was speeding away at a speed exceeding the city's speed limit. The figure was a little overwhelmed by this sudden accident, but then the figure actually exceeded the speed of human running and barely caught up with the car.

In an open-air parking lot somewhere, a figure was walking among countless vehicles like a ghost. It was moving almost without any ups and downs. It was more like moving horizontally as if it had roller skates on its feet than walking.

"Ah, are you looking for something? If it's that child, he's gone."

A sweet voice suddenly sounded behind the figure. Turning around, he saw that the fifth most powerful esper in Academy City, Shokuhou Misaki, was standing there.

She blinked her starry eyes and said, "It seems my guess was right. After that Baba guy fails, he will send someone even more powerful to complete the task, right? Jingce Kandou-san."

The figure made a sound from his throat. "So it was you who investigated my information. I didn't expect that even faking my death couldn't hide it from you. It seems that my logic that I would encounter you if I followed my sisters was correct."

Shokuhou Misaki took out the remote and pressed it at the figure, but the other party did not respond.

"It turns out he's not a real person." She looked as if she had known this for a long time.

The clothes on the figure slowly fell off, and a ball of silver-white liquid metal flowed out and condensed into the shape of a young girl.
