It can be seen that Hiiragi Asuka, a girl, has completely distinguished herself from the ordinary people around her like a magician like Orange Aosaki. Of course, this is due to the fact that Hiiragi Asuka probably didn't receive training in a world beyond ordinary people since she was a child.,It's not like those heirs of magic families who are destined to be people from another world from the day they were born.。 In addition, it is estimated that it is also because Hiiragi Asuka, after mastering the supernatural power, has been targeting those alien beasts that exist in the other world and will only bring harm to reality.

Just like the policemen who are also likely to have shot and killed people, and who shoot in order to maintain law and order and protect citizens, their mentality is categorically impossible to compare with that of thugs of underground organizations who arbitrarily lynch for their own selfish interests.

In fact, it's not just the education she received since childhood, but the ultimate dream of a person like Hiiragi Asuka is to rely on her own ability to restore the world to what she wants, and then live an ordinary life in that beautiful world. But what those magicians are pursuing is the improvement on the road of magic, touching the realm of magic, and it is even said that it is the 'root' pursued by almost all magicians.

"Is that really that realistic? I've heard some seniors and external collaborators complain about things in life in the organization before. But probably because they think I'm still young, I shouldn't mention those adult things in front of me. No one has ever told me anything about this directly, it's just a matter of stumbling upon it. ”

Hiiragi Asuka sighed. Not enough, although she said, no one has ever taught her the ways of the adult world. But such a girl will certainly not be a flower in a greenhouse that can't distinguish reality. Even if Lévy doesn't say much, in fact, she can definitely sketch what the adult world is like based on her own guessing and imagination, right?

"After all, it's a 'reality'. People don't kill heaven and earth for themselves, and this kind of thing sounds a bit too much. But it is not wrong for each person to think first of all for his own interests. Even if modern society is very developed and there is no need for naked 'cannibalism' as in ancient times, it still can't get rid of the essence of the jungle. And I am afraid that in a few hundred years, even if technology has really advanced to the point where some philosophers envision that everyone no longer needs to work for what they need to live, the ideal society they are looking forward to may not really come. ”

Facing this girl who doesn't know much after all, even though she's a stranger.。 Levi didn't tell her directly that he had already traveled to a planet where technology had evolved to provide what everyone needed and that people wouldn't have to work. I have seen first-hand that even in that world, there are still classes, and the differences between people have not really been eliminated.

You must know that even if it is a 'higher life' that has no entity like the information integration mind body and is already a life form of another 'dimension', doesn't it still exist as a so-called class system from a human perspective? Just as Ryoko Asakura is an assistant to Yuki Nagato, and Yuki Nagato and Ryoko Asakura are the 'tools' of the information integration mind body in the eyes of others.

Don't say that tools made by humans are in the service of human beings. Isn't the true ideal of complete unity the same that does not distinguish between one nor the other and does not distinguish between differences? The so-called labor-free work that human beings rely on machines and robots to support even the science fiction writers of the earth decades ago have long recognized that it is also a kind of 'slavery' that will eventually be resisted.

Although the earth is far from developing to such a level of technology, in the past few decades and hundreds of years, there have been fewer novels about artificial intelligence and robots in societies like that?

"But for the sake of their own interests, they do not care about the ...... of others"

The girl seems to feel that she is saying this a bit like the popular ridicule of the 'Madonna' on the Internet. Although she is young and has little experience, she also vaguely understands that the criterion of morality is to measure herself, not to measure others.

"There is really nothing wrong with such a person who does not care about others for his own interests. As long as you don't hurt others for your own benefit, then at least the law does not define such people as 'bad people'. ”

In fact, in some extreme cases, even if it is for one's own interests, it is legally permissible to actively harm others. For example, it has long been written about by various fiction writers, especially mystery fiction writers. When a person encounters a serious danger, it does not seem that he will be convicted of a crime if he has no choice but to harm others or even deprive them of their lives in order to save them.

Sacrificing one's life for the sake of others is noble, but sacrificing one's life for one's own cannot be found guilty even by those who make the law.

The so-called survival is the instinct of human beings and even all living things. And interests and desires are often derived on the basis of survival.

"There are a lot of situations where there is no way. ”

Hiiragi Asuka didn't want to think about these things. As a teenage girl, she felt that the mysterious otherworlds and terrifying beasts in the eyes of ordinary people were to some extent much more simple than those complex problems.

"Ah, I just remembered......"

As if she didn't want to discuss these uncomfortable realities that made people think too much, Hiiragi Asuka interrupted the topic very stiffly. It seems that even a person who has had extraordinary experiences since she was a child still hasn't exceeded her age too much. Or maybe this is a trait of Hiiragi's personality in itself? It's like those who say they don't want others to take risks and choose a person, but in essence, it's hard to say that they don't have the influence of a subconscious who doesn't want to have too much to do with others.

"Teacher, did you want to ask me just now?"

Lévy did feel a little strange in some places just now. But when you think about it, that strange feeling is actually a bit unfounded. If you just asked it in passing, forget it. Now after a while, the girl took the initiative to propose, but he scratched his head and was a little embarrassed.

But the good thing is that Levi has never been a particularly face-saving person. What kind of image of a teacher in front of students, the impression of a man in front of a woman, etc., he will pay a little attention to it when he doesn't care in daily life. And when necessary, these so-called insistences can be left behind at will. Just like he treated the eldest lady of the Tosaka family, who was defined as his daughter in the legal documents, he never tried to create the image of a real father, or at least a qualified guardian.
