“It was only then that I realized Sister Orsola was already under your protection, Lin Wuming…” Kamijou Touma said bitterly, still feeling somewhat speechless, “If I had known, I wouldn’t have bothered coming here.”
Did it backfire?
But after realizing the seriousness of the situation, Kamijou Touma still rushed to Lin Wuming for help.
On one hand, having known Lin Wuming for so long, Kamijou Touma had already acknowledged Lin Wuming’s strength and regarded him as a strong pillar he could trust and rely on; when he encountered problems he couldn’t handle, he would seek out Lin Wuming—that was always the right thing to do.
On the other hand, Sister Orsola had already received Lin Wuming’s protection, and now, due to their actions, they had lost her… no matter what, they had to give Lin Wuming an explanation.
“Alright, I generally understand the situation.” Lin Wuming said, pinching his brow, feeling speechless, “I’ll handle it, don’t worry.”
He had already decided earlier that no matter what request Kamijou Touma made, he would help him to the end.
Although it was a matter on the Magic Side, it couldn’t be said that it had no relation to him at all.
After all, Orsola Aquinas was theoretically already under Lin Wuming’s protection, and if he couldn’t rescue her at this time, it would undoubtedly damage his reputation.
Of course, Lin Wuming didn’t really care about such a reputation, but now he just happened to need to care about it…
“Where are Sister Orsola and the Agnese Forces now—you should know that, right?” Lin Wuming sorted through his chaotic thoughts and focused on the matter at hand.
“Don’t worry, Stiyl and the Amakusa-style are tracking them; they won’t escape easily!” Kamijou Touma said.
Then he couldn’t help but look over with some concern: “Lin Wuming, do you have a strategy? To be honest, the Agnese Forces are very powerful, numerous, skilled in magic, and work together seamlessly…”
Stiyl and the Amakusa-style Cross Rosicrucian had already tried to assault them, but they were easily repelled.
That’s why Kamijou Touma rushed back so quickly to call for reinforcements.
Kamijou Touma knew that Lin Wuming was a Level 5 and very powerful; but at the same time, he also knew that Lin Wuming’s condition hadn’t been good lately, and there were even rumors of him dropping in level, so he couldn’t help but worry.
“Don’t worry, you just need to tell me where they are,” Lin Wuming reached out and patted Kamijou Touma’s shoulder, “As long as Sister Orsola is alive, I will definitely rescue her.”
“It’s great that you’re so confident.” Kamijou Touma also let out a long sigh of relief, seemingly not doubting Lin Wuming’s words at all.
As they spoke, the vehicle they were in drove out of Academy City’s gate without any hindrance, officially arriving in the area outside the walls.
Seeing this, Kamijou Touma didn’t find it strange—after all, he was an “Nameless Board Member,” so it was perfectly normal for him to have free access, wasn’t it?
But immediately after, Kamijou Touma recalled the scene he had witnessed on the school playground not long ago, and suddenly felt curious—Lin Wuming, who seemed “perfect” to him, also seemed to have his own troubles!
Although such “troubles” were, in a sense, quite enviable.
For most boys, they would probably dream of having the “trouble of being surrounded by beautiful girls.”
“By the way, Lin Wuming, what happened on the playground just now? I saw those young ladies from Tokiwadai Middle School were all there.” Kamijou Touma asked.
Lin Wuming glanced over: “Are you… sure you want to know?”
Looking at Kamijou Touma’s posture of “discussing topics between boys,” Lin Wuming’s mood was also a bit complicated.
It should be known that in the original plot, besides Hu Feng Toumi, Misaka Mikoto, Shokuhou Misaki, and even Shirai Kuroko, the one who would form bonds with these girls should have been Kamijou Touma, who was right in front of him.
Of course, by now, Lin Wuming had long learned to treat the “original work” purely as a reference and not take it too seriously.
Lin Wuming just couldn’t help but lament that in the original plot, Kamijou Touma never seemed to encounter such a predicament as his, and the number of women around him was even greater…
However, to be fair, Lin Wuming could also understand—Kamijou Touma was busy saving the world everywhere and had no time or energy to deal with “romantic” issues; although there were many female characters around him, their feelings hadn’t even “budded,” so naturally, there were no further troubles to speak of.
—But then again, since I transmigrated, I haven’t been idle, have I? How did it still turn out this way?
Lin Wuming silently complained in his heart.
Stunned by Lin Wuming’s inexplicably serious gaze, Kamijou Touma quickly waved his hand: “Ah, I just asked casually, you don’t have to take it too seriously… No, just pretend I didn’t say anything!”
Thinking about it carefully, Kamijou Touma could also understand.
The beautiful girls gathered around Lin Wuming were all super-standard, and while enviable, the problem lay in their “super-standard” nature.
Two Level 5s, the aces of Tokiwadai Middle School; although Hu Feng Toumi was “only” a Level 4, Kamijou Touma also knew her rumors, and in terms of combat achievements and ferocity, Hu Feng Toumi was the most formidable one.
While a harem unfolding was good, if the objects were such powerful and assertive beautiful girls…
—Just thinking about it is troublesome. Sure enough, this kind of trouble should be left to capable people like Lin Wuming to worry about!
…
Not far from Academy City, there was an unfinished Orsola Church.
This was a church property under the Roman Orthodox Church, and at this time, it was perfectly suitable as a temporary base for the Agnese Forces.
The battle nuns, led by Agnes Sanctis, were taking turns punishing the apostate Orsola Aquinas.
Specifically, they surrounded her and beat her with punches and kicks, inflicting physical punishment—it looked vastly different from the usual impression of a “religious inquisition,” instead resembling a group of female middle school students engaging in school bullying…
But it was undeniable that these young nuns were indeed ruthless and merciless—with the mindset of beating her to death as long as she wasn’t dead yet, they quickly beat Orsola to the brink of death.
At the same time, they didn’t forget to verbally mock, curse, and belittle her.
It was precisely because of this that Sister Orsola finally learned the full truth from her “enemies,” realizing how many opportunities for salvation she had given up due to her arrogance and prejudice.
—If only she could have trusted others a little more, believed that there truly were people in this world who would selflessly extend a helping hand… then she wouldn’t have ended up so tragically, would she?
