Chapter 10: Miyawaki Kaito's right hook
Dressed in driving armor, Hima rests in the atrium of the school. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 Although it is in the driving armor, just driving this behemoth is already a physical task for the alchemists of the indoor school. Hima sensed Kaito and Sulfona's arrival through the observation system attached to the drive armor, and she frowned.
"Are you here? So, you've already defeated the crab-faced boy?"
Himema observed Kaito's expression, and she read the confusion in Kaito's eyes, and the look of melancholy that I really wanted to lift the squad leader's skirt. However, when Kaito noticed the figure of Himima in the driving armor, his eyes suddenly became firm.
Kaito pulls out from his coat pocket what Himema has always dreamed of.
"Is this what you want? Why do you want to go out of your way to wreak havoc, to play with other people's bodies and minds, and to crave this?"
"Also, you don't understand at this level. Hima smiled self-deprecatingly, "All alchemists want to see through the world. What was the beginning of this world, what was the end of this world, and what was the meaning of the birth of this world. Matter and soul are constantly rotating in the universe, what is it that governs reincarnation, and what is the 'law of equivalent exchange' that governs the transformation of gold and lead? What I want to see through is not just a little magic, but the whole world outside of magic. ”
"Your statement may sound great, but it doesn't justify all the bad things you've done. Kaito frowned, "If you want to know these philosophical questions, read the books written by philosophers yourself." Besides, what if you knew?"
"So you're too knowledgeable. Hima shook her head, "The reason why I want to break the rules of this world is to save humanity. You must not be able to understand how many powerful people die every day because of their uncontrollable abilities, and how many magicians sleep because of their magical powers, and after that incident, the rules of the whole world go wrong. If this continues, all the powerhouses and magicians in this world will be extinct, and even the newborn ones will quickly die of their abilities. ”
"So what? In this case, even if the capable person is extinct, you are not the only one who can change it. Kaito said, "Besides, Araki wasn't a capable person at all, isn't it hard to say now, but you should at least be careful not to talk about ordinary people!"
"Huh, ordinary people, what kind of joke are you talking about?" Jima couldn't help but show a mocking expression, "Do you think there are ordinary people in this world? It may seem to you that I forced the teenager to awaken - but it is better that he is about to awaken. According to common sense,The ability should be able to discover his ability when he was young.,But this law is not correct after the 'collapse of the school city'.。 More and more elderly humans are beginning to awaken their abilities, and the proportion of people who are awakened is also increasing. At the same time, there are more and more people with magical talents. According to my calculations, as long as the human race is not capable, it will be magicians, and there will be no ordinary people anymore. ”
"How come?" Kaito's face showed a look of surprise, "Magician or something, you're the first person I've ever met." I've never heard of magicians before. And the capable are also criminals who are arrested by the government every day - you even say that everyone will become capable or magicians in the future?"
"Do you think it's unbelievable? It's a bit sensational, but it's true. I can't be wrong with what I read with these eyes. Hima looked into the distance with a regretful expression, "You're not the first person to doubt me, it's better that everyone is doubting my point of view. Those stupid magicians, short-sighted and rigid in their thinking, are really stupid. He didn't realize that he shouldn't be with them, so he lived in seclusion in a remote place. When I'm alone, I can often feel a rhythm in my blood. It seems to be some kind of ancient war drum of the tribe, and it is like the ticking of a clock, that is the world urging us to evolve. If humanity is not able to evolve, we will perish. ”
"By evolution...... do you mean?"
"It's about being a god. "In my opinion, God is just some kind of higher lifeform. The moment humans gained strange powers, they became alienated from ordinary humans and embarked on the path to godhood. Survival of the fittest, the road to godhood is so cruel, how many powerful abilities and magicians have fallen like this. It is impossible to save all of humanity without deciphering the real rules of this world. To do this, I need the help of the 'Fragments of God'. ”
Kaito fell silent because of what Himima said. He couldn't tell if what Himema said was true, after all, it was too out of common sense. But at this time, the squad leader spoke.
"Even if what you said was true, you attacked us and turned Araki into a strange crab man. And it also made me lose confidence in my charm a little. The squad leader frowned and said, "You have your reasons, and we have ours." I don't think I can talk about handing over that fragment to a rough woman like you, and you have no objection to that. ”
"Nope. Hima nodded happily, "This little girl is really good. You have your reasons, and I have my reasons. Since I want to get the 'Fragment of God,' I'll take it directly from you. If you want to resent me, do so. Because it is a 'necessary evil.'" ”
"In that way, there is nothing more to say. Kaito finally made up his mind.
The drive armor turned slightly slowly, and the barrel extending from the arm erupted in flames, and bullets rained down. Kaito held the squad leader's body in front of him, leaning on the gap in the surrounding bushes to get closer to Himima. The explosion and the whistle of the bullet made Kaito feel like his ears were about to go deaf, and he gritted his teeth and rushed forward desperately. There seemed to be a strange sound coming from his knees, his eyes were a little blurred, and even the corners of his mouth seemed to be overflowing with foamy saliva.
But Kaito felt so smooth.
It's as if something has awakened.,The life of a high school student before was like a fake.,It's not until now that Kaidou understands what it means to be alive.。 People who have eaten vegetables have never tasted meat before, but as long as they eat meat once, they will know the taste and will never be able to do without it again. The current Kaito also feels this way. After experiencing such thrilling battles, it was too boring for him to sit in class and listen to the lectures, or stay on the playground and play controlled ball games with his classmates. Something hidden in Kaidou's body was about to move, like a desire that was about to erupt under the crater.
Kaito involuntarily cracked his mouth.
At the beginning of the battle, Himema sealed herself as the left eye of a normal human. In this way, her entire perspective shifts to the Eye of Interpretation that resides in the right eye socket. Everything was so clear in her sight. Through the touch of her gaze, she saw through the essence of what was going on. But there were some hazy dark shadows and strange things in her field of vision.
"I see, you are also a capable person. Hima frowned, "I can sense the possibility of evolution in your body, it may be close to the final end, but it has come to an abrupt end. It's strange that there are so many things that I can't understand, like a fog that obscures my vision. The girl over here too, I don't even understand the slightest bit - who are you?"
Hima gasped slightly. Although the driving armor can be said to be invincible in street fighting, it is too reluctant to rely on her weak body to fight such a high-intensity battle. To be honest, even if an alchemist is fighting, what he is best at should be positional warfare. Use a few weeks, months, or even years to set up overlapping magic arrays at your doorstep to build a "self-temple". Use gold to refine and change the properties of matter, use the golden Great Technique to create a powerful guard, and then defend in the middle of the position. It was quite a risky thing for Himma to come out of her position and come to this school. It's really a good idea to fight hand-to-hand with the capable like this. It's just a pity that the previous chess pieces were too useless, and they were easily solved by Kaidou. And Jima is too eager for the "Fragment of God", and if it drags on for too long, it may be noticed by the local Crucifixion, so she can only use this stupid method.
Hima noticed a dark shadow flying towards her at an extremely high speed.
"Is that the case again? You want to get close to me? ”
Hima raised the "smoothbore cannon" in her hand. The "smoothbore gun" is equipped with wide-area radio wave aiming, and it fights on a wide and open battlefield, and has a continuous firing rate of up to 95% during the march within 5,000 meters. The atrium she was in was too cramped, and Gema just hoped that her smoothbore cannon would scare her opponent a little. Himma's "right eye" saw through the fog, and the figure of the unknown figure seemed unscathed. Come to think of it, with that girl with incredible regenerative ability, this attack is nothing. Hima calculates the next steps in her brain at high speed. She continued to fire an 18 mm 10 second 50 rounds of fire machine gun as cover, and then moved backwards.
"It's stupid. ”
The speed of the driving armor that Hima pilots is fundamentally different from the strength of a human's feet. The black shadow that rushed over also fell to the ground.
"Didn't you do this once before? useless...... You will not be able to approach me. ”
"Is it really useless?"
Suddenly, the young man's clear voice came from behind Himma. Too unexpected, Hima even forgot to manipulate the drive armor to look back, and instead sat directly in the driver's seat and turned to look back. Himma's eyes pierced through the overlapping metal and wires that drove the armor and saw Kaito standing behind her. Did he sneak over while he wasn't looking? So was the girl alone?
That's when Jima realized that she had made two serious mistakes. First of all, she underestimated Kaito's courage, thinking that Kaito would not dare to part with Sulfona, who had an immortal body. But in fact, Haidou dared to shuttle through the rain of bullets by himself. Second, Himma relies too much on her "Interpretive Eye". Sulfona, which she couldn't see through at all, and Kaito, who he couldn't see through partially, couldn't be observed with the eye of interpretation. In Himma's line of sight, she could only see a hazy black shadow, so she couldn't tell if it was one person or two. Himma, who trusts eyes too much, doesn't even use her normal left eye to look at Kaito and Sulfona.
These two mistakes are fatal.
Kaito waved his right hand behind the driving armor without hesitation. The driving armor that had been showing off his might disappeared all of a sudden, and Hima, who was sitting in the driver's seat, was also in a state of suspension and falling. Instead of panicking, Himima, who was always in a state of falling, began to apply protective magic to her body.
"--Mobile Church"
After the apostate Oreos Issad became an alchemist, he incorporated many of the special techniques of the Roman Orthodox Church into his own canon. These texts soon spread among alchemists. It is one of these defensive spells that Himma is using now: the Moving Church. In between, Hima was covered with a layer of dark monastic robes. This monastic garment contains the minimum elements necessary for the "church", and it is a "church in the form of clothing", so it is called a "mobile church". The weaving of the cloth, the sewing of the threads, and the decoration of the embroidery were all carefully calculated, and the cloth completely reproduced the cloth of the Doolin Holy Remains (that is, the cloth that the saint wrapped around when he was pierced by the spear of Longinus), so the strength of the "mobile church" is papal. Its enchantment is as powerful as London's Great Sanctuary, and it cannot be destroyed except for the return of the legendary Dragon of St. George. Both physical and magical attacks are fully absorbed by it.
Even so, Hima felt a little panicked. The boy standing below him was extending his right hand backwards.
"I really don't understand what you're talking about saving the world, seeing through the rules and things like that. I just feel very uncomfortable!" said Kaito, who was bruised by the aftermath of the battle, "You're stupid - don't take anyone else for idiots." It's unbelievable that you turned Araki like that, and suddenly appeared in the school and wreaked havoc. Now, I just want to punch you hard with my right hand!"
