Chapter 928 What Kamijou Touma Cares About
“What Front? That guy is simply a monster! Can he be any more exaggerated?” After complaining, Kamijou Touma looked at Lin Wuming again and praised him sincerely, “But then again, to be able to defeat such a monster, Wuming, you are unbelievably powerful.”
—Lin Wuming is also an out-and-out monster! I thought he was seriously injured and unconscious again like the previous few times, but I didn't expect him to be completely unharmed! It can only be said that while the enemies are getting stronger, Lin Wuming's strength is also rapidly improving!
Kamijou Touma sighed in his heart. Besides visiting Lin Wuming, he specifically came to the Hospital during his lunch break mainly to get information about what happened yesterday.
Late last night, when Kamijou Touma heard about the big battle that broke out outside the city from Tsuchimikado Motoharu, Kanzaki Kaori, and Stiyl, he was completely bewildered.
He originally thought that after successfully rescuing Sister Orsola Aquinas, this incident would be perfectly concluded.
That's why Kamijou Touma went home relieved, focusing on taking care of Index, who had been hungry all day.
But he didn't expect the truly fierce battle to erupt after that.
Kamijou Touma's feelings about this were very complicated, especially after hearing that Lin Wuming was hospitalized again.
Although Kamijou Touma always sought help from Lin Wuming, when he encountered truly troublesome enemies, he was reluctant to involve others.
Even if Lin Wuming was a powerful Level 5 esper ability user.
Kamijou Touma also had his pride and sense of propriety. In his opinion, magic-side incidents had no direct relation to Lin Wuming. He could ask Lin Wuming for help, but he couldn't throw all problems at him.
Last night, when Kamijou Touma was almost asleep, Tsuchimikado Motoharu, Stiyl, and Kanzaki Kaori specifically came to Kamijou Touma's house and called Index out to say something.
During this time, Tsuchimikado roughly explained Front's situation.
But before Kamijou Touma could ask further, the three of them hurried away again, seemingly unwilling to waste even a second, looking very busy.
And after that, Index also became silent, uncharacteristically, showing a serious expression as if she was thinking about something.
Kamijou Touma asked, but only got a somewhat inexplicable answer—
“The Archbishop commanded to agree to open the Index Librorum Prohibitorum library to Lin Wuming.”
Because he felt concerned in all aspects, Kamijou Touma decided to ask Lin Wuming for a clear explanation.
As a result, after school today, he found that Lin Wuming was on sick leave and didn't come to class, and Tsuchimikado Motoharu also took leave and was nowhere to be found.
So, Kamijou Touma came to the Hospital during his lunch break. Index seemed to have anticipated this and arrived at the A Certain High School gate in advance to act with Kamijou Touma.
Facing Kamijou Touma's inquiry, Lin Wuming did not hide anything and truthfully recounted his experiences from yesterday.
After hearing about Front's strength and performance from Lin Wuming, Kamijou Touma fell silent.
—I originally thought that Tsuchimikado was just trying to fob me off and making things up; but it seems that Front's strength is even more exaggerated than fabricated!
Kamijou Touma originally had expectations for his own strength and Imagine Breaker, thinking that if it were him, he might also be able to defeat Front.
But now it seems that even if Front didn't use any magic, he could still beat him up just by brute force!
Out of trust in Lin Wuming, Kamijou Touma didn't think he would deceive him.
So Kamijou Touma sat on the chair somewhat dejectedly and sighed, “It seems that thanks to you, Wuming, for taking action in time. If it were me, I definitely wouldn't be able to do anything about him…”
“That's not necessarily true,” Lin Wuming shook his head, “Front's target this time seemed to be me, so it's normal for me to face him. Moreover, I wasn't fighting alone; Kanzaki Kaori, Mikoto, Hu Feng, and Shokuhou also helped. It can only be said that Front's loss was not unjust.”
“Alright.” Shaking his head, Kamijou Touma quickly cheered up again, “You don't need to comfort me. I also know how strong I am, and I definitely can't compare to a monster like you.”
“Do you also think I'm a monster?” Lin Wuming complained, “Your right hand is the one that's cheating.”
“But besides this right hand, I have nothing else worth mentioning,” Kamijou Touma waved his right hand.
The reason Kamijou Touma was confident in handling magic-side related incidents was because of the trump card, Imagine Breaker.
As long as he could eliminate the enemy's magic or any other esper ability, in the end, it would just be a hand-to-hand combat between ordinary people—Kamijou Touma was quite confident about this.
However, when encountering a situation like “a master among ordinary people,” this greatest advantage couldn't be brought into play.
The most troublesome thing about a “Saint” is that their physical bodies are naturally superhuman, and even without magic, their combat power is still extraordinary.
It can be said that this is the opponent that restrains Kamijou Touma the most.
After understanding these things, Kamijou Touma no longer dwelled on it.
“Anyway, as long as I defeat the enemy, it's fine.” Kamijou Touma nodded, then added, “But I request one thing here: the next time a similar incident occurs, please remember to notify me! Although I'm not as powerful as you, Wuming, I can also fight!”
“Next time, definitely.” Lin Wuming naturally agreed wholeheartedly, then said, “But before that, there is indeed one thing I would like to ask for your help with.”
“Just say it!” Kamijou Touma patted his chest.
“I want to borrow your Imagine Breaker,” Lin Wuming said seriously.
“Ah? Borrow…” Kamijou Touma raised his right hand to look at it, then looked up at the opposite side.
Seeing that he seemed to have misunderstood something, Lin Wuming quickly added, “To be precise, I want to borrow the ability of Imagine Breaker—if it can be counted as a type of esper ability.”
“I know that, of course… No need for extra explanation, don't worry, I didn't misunderstand!” Kamijou Touma nodded repeatedly.
It would be bad if he didn't misunderstand. Although it was only a momentary short circuit in his brain, Kamijou Touma did indeed associate it with his right hand being cut off.
Lin Wuming didn't expose him, only sneered in his heart—who would cut off that guy's right hand, are they tired of living?
In fact, Lin Wuming also had a sudden thought when he saw Kamijou Touma come to visit him and mentioned the topic of Imagine Breaker.
Then Lin Wuming suddenly realized that he had never truly faced Imagine Breaker—from an adversarial perspective.
“So, Wuming, you mean…” After learning Lin Wuming's thoughts, Kamijou Touma jumped up from his chair, “You… you want to duel me?”
