Chapter 866: Actions of the Magic Side
“Sort of?” Tsuchimikado Motoharu spread his hands. “But considering my position, I deliberately avoided them. So strictly speaking, it can’t be considered ‘meeting’ them, can it? And Big Sis, how do you plan to get in? You didn’t get a permit this time, did you?”
Not only are they from the magic side, but they are also Saints, practically “human nuclear bombs.” Academy City would naturally not allow Kanzaki Kaori to enter easily.
In the past, she was only able to enter Academy City with special permission.
But this time…
“Well, I know it’s not difficult to get a permit with Hu Feng Toumi’s help. But with Big Sis’s personality, you probably wouldn’t trouble her for your own matters, right?” Tsuchimikado Motoharu immediately added.
“…” Her method, which she had just barely thought of, was directly blocked by Tsuchimikado Motoharu, and Shinkanzaki remained silent.
Then, somewhat annoyed, she took a step, intending to leave immediately.
“Coincidentally,” Tsuchimikado Motoharu said, “I also didn’t go through any procedures when I left Academy City tonight.”
“Which means…” Shinkanzaki stopped and turned around.
“I also have my own connections,” Tsuchimikado Motoharu looked at her with a smile.
Shinkanzaki shook her head, finally sighing, “Is this also your goal?”
It wasn’t just “finding Shinkanzaki,” but also finding a way to “stabilize Shinkanzaki.”
Tsuchimikado Motoharu was noncommittal, only saying, “It’s good that Big Sis understands.”
“In that case…” Shinkanzaki nodded, “Then I’ll go with you, and you also know the whereabouts of Amakusa-style…”
Tsuchimikado Motoharu still had a smile on his face, but he couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief inwardly.
—How would Shinkanzaki, without a permit, enter Academy City? Of course, by using the powerful strength of a Saint!
Did he really expect the weaklings in the city defense forces to stop a Saint?
Tsuchimikado Motoharu is a multi-faceted spy, and on a certain level, this scene was not what he wanted to see.
…
Compared to the self-disappearing Shinkanzaki, Stiyl, who was on a business trip by order of the Archbishop, naturally didn’t have to worry about trivial matters like “permits.”
Not only did he have a permit, but he also had a green light all the way. Academy City specially arranged a supersonic passenger plane to fly him across half the globe at the fastest speed to Academy City.
But even so, by the time Stiyl walked out of the terminal building in the Twenty-Third School District, it was already midnight.
“Hmm, at this time…” Looking at the completely silent city, Stiyl fell into contemplation.
Although Academy City is also a world-renowned top metropolis, its special nature as an “academy” means that Our nightlife is far less prosperous than other normal metropolises.
Especially at the airport terminal, Stiyl noticed that although the airport was busy at this time, it was mainly occupied by unmanned trucks and vehicles, as well as hurried staff members; it was rare to see ordinary citizens or tourists.
“At this time, I won’t bother that guy, right?” Stiyl made a decision.
In recent months, Stiyl had frequently come to Academy City on business trips. Therefore, a certain custom had already formed.
Index’s Guardian—Kamijou Touma of “Imaginary Hand” is a very convenient helper.
Especially when he is alone and has to deal with a very tricky task, that guy’s right hand ability is really useful.
This operation was no exception, of course.
Regardless of public or private matters, Stiyl would not feel any psychological pressure to make Kamijou Touma work for him.
However, considering that Index is currently living at Kamijou Touma’s house!!!
Stiyl decided to let him off for now—waking Kamijou Touma from his sleep would not cause guilt, but if it disturbed Index…
“Let’s go find the Roman Orthodox Church nuns first,” Stiyl adjusted his itinerary.
After all, he was only here to assist; the main force of the operation was with the Roman Orthodox Church.
The Roman Orthodox Church people did not find it as easy to get entry permits, so they could only be stopped outside the city walls.
Stiyl had complete access, so he easily passed through the gate and arrived outside Academy City’s wall.
Then, through simple divination, Stiyl easily found the group of nuns who were at a loss nearby—after all, the target was indeed very large and obvious.
The combat nun unit led by Sister Agnese, numbering as many as two hundred and fifty, was a large, organized force in the magic side.
It also showed the Roman Orthodox Church’s Pay attention to level of importance for this operation, not hesitating to send such a large operational force, which could be said to be a major mobilization.
However, precisely because of the large number of people, it increased the difficulty of entering Academy City.
“If it were only a few people, we would have a way to sneak in,” Sister Agnese looked up at the towering city wall not far away, “But in that case, Our greatest advantage—numbers—would not be able to be utilized.”
Facing her British Puritan Church partner, Sister Agnese did not hide the predicament she was facing.
“The problem is the enemy,” the petite girl, who exuded a certain authority, continued, “Amakusa-style Cross Rosicrucian is precisely the best at hiding. They have a way to get everyone in, so the enemy actually has a numerical advantage.”
“Wait,” Stiyl said with a frown, “From what you’re saying, the person we need to rescue in this operation—Orsola Aquinas—is also inside Academy City?”
“That’s right,” Sister Agnese showed an annoyed expression, “So we are helpless now!”
“Tsk, I didn’t expect…” Stiyl lit a cigarette, “that it would really come to this…”
The main reason why the Roman Orthodox Church cooperated with the British Puritan Church and why Archbishop Laura sent Stiyl to carry out this mission was that this operation might involve matters inside Academy City.
Stiyl knew that he wouldn’t be idle now.
He had thought he was just here to “assist,” but he didn’t expect to become the “main attacker.”
“Alright, it’s just finding someone,” Stiyl quickly finished his cigarette, then flicked away the butt, “Leave it to me. I happen to have some connections in Academy City…”
The cigarette butt tumbled in mid-air, then suddenly burst into a small fireball with a bang.
The fire magician waved his hand to disperse the flame, muttering to himself, “There’s no other way. I can only drag you in to work.”
