Chapter 6: The Holy War That Has Never Been Understood
Still, who was sleeping in his bed, suddenly woke up.
For an elite magician like him, it is not uncommon for him to go without sleep for several days in a row, and some magicians are even unable to sleep at all for the needs of their own magic.
Although it doesn't have to be that level, Steele's vigilance as a magician is still there-
-- The technique as an early warning was triggered.
Ever since that guy came to the UK, the actions of all parties around that guy have not stopped. Within the knightly faction, the royal faction, and even the sectarian faction, there are people everywhere who are ready to move.
While the Max Bishop Lola. Stuart made his position clear, but magicians are not the ones who will obey their superiors when they tell them.
Magicians, unlike superpowers.
It's not just the ability or anything, but the deeper thing, which exists as a "core".
The superpowers of the school city,Whether it's the first party to pass.,Or the incapacitated Hamamian Shishang.,No matter who it is.,Ever since joining the school city to develop the ability,,It's all "organized into the organization called the school city.,And it's been bound".γ Although they have their own ideas,But it's still bound by the school city.γ
Even, an existence named Mirei Misaka is still restrained.
There's no other reason - except for the school city.,There's no place for these superpowers in the world.γ
So the superpowers,Their actions,All of them are affected by the huge organization called "School City"γ
Magicians are different.
Magicians must have experienced setbacks somewhere in their lives. Unable to save important people from serious illnesses, lack of food and having to kill each other...... Without such experience, no one would have imagined that they would be able to break through the laws of physics. For ordinary and contented people, they will only become ordinary. People who rely on anomalies like magic must have their own reasons.
The magician inscribed this purpose on himself in Latinβthat is, the name of magic.
For those who have made their own purpose clear and have composed all the spells in order to match that purpose, the organization is nothing more than "an aid to the realization of the name of magic". If it is useful, it is respectful and vows of loyalty, and if it does not work, it will be disillusioned and will not hesitate to abandon it.
This is fundamentally different from the people who are applied to the production, management, and huge organization plans of all capable people in the entire school city.
So it's called Shirley? Cromwell's magician, in order to provoke a war between the scientific side and the magic side, infiltrated the school city alone; Lidovia? Loren Kitty took out the "Apostolic Cross" without authorization and tried to dominate the school city...... It doesn't make sense anymore to belong to a huge organization. Do whatever you want, even if the name of the magic is to blast the world system to the slag, a real magician will not show a trace of hesitation about it.
That's it, magician.
Therefore, Steele is quite unhappy with Mirei's behavior pattern.
She doesn't exist as a "part" of the school city like the general superpowers in the school city; Nor is it like magicians, who inscribe magical names for themselves in Latin.
No matter where she is, it always gives the impression of being incongruous and chaotic.
Sheltered by the school city but unwilling to be dominated by the school city.,After being put on the must-kill list by many people and organizations on the magic side, he ran out of the school city and came to Misaka Meiling in the United Kingdom.,Her behavior pattern,Steele feels that he will never understand.γ
"The Singularity of the World's Distortion"
Putting on his coat, Steele opened the door as he thought, and after a few steps down the hallway, he stopped at the door of the room with the word "B2" written on the door number.
By the way, in order to ensure the safety of that guy, and of course for the safety of others, Steele lives next door to her
Without even knocking on the door, Steele took out the key to open the door and entered the house.
The huge window of the room was open, and Mihari Misaka was wearing only a white pajama on her upper body, and now she was turning her head while stepping on the windowsill.
Although the panties had been exposed to a very bad state, she didn't seem to care, and instead stammered:
"You, you, you, are you the kind of aunt who opens the child's room without knocking! Is it very pleasant to find out that your son is watching hairy films, you pervert! β
β#β
The corner of his eyes jumped in the corner of his eye, and he held his forehead and tried desperately to calm himself down, took a deep breath and asked:
"Where are you going?"
"Huh?"
Meiling, who wanted to hit a rake, obviously didn't expect Steele's reaction, but she was still in a state of wanting to escape through the window
"Ahem!"
Hurriedly put down his bare feet from the windowsill, and then rearranged the posture of holding the windowsill and looking up at the starry sky at a forty-five degree angle, with tears in his eyes and a melancholy face Mochizuki sighed:
"Long nights, no sleep"
"Before you say that line, can you please take the sheet that is used as a rope out of the outside?"
ββ
Misaka Meiling, who didn't hide the tools of the crime, took back the sheets hanging out of the window in embarrassment, but muttered reluctantly in her mouth that she didn't know what she was talking about.
"I said, "You."
Steele habitually took out his cigarette, but after finding himself in a girl's room, he hesitated slightly, and then felt that there seemed to be nothing to worry about in front of this guy, so he lit the cigarette and took a deep breath:
"How did you come to England at this time?"
Under the manipulation of the Roman Orthodox Church,Britain has been gradually isolated by European countries as an ally of the school city.,The world has begun to become turbulent because of the opposition between the scientific side and the magic side.,People and forces in all walks of life are ready to move.,And some people believe that the culprit of the world turmoil is the "world-distorted singularity".,She has been listed as a target for killing.γ
Moreover, there are people within the UK who think so.
No matter what way you think about it,Misaka Meiling should never appear in the UK at this time.,Whether it's for the school city.,Or for the UK,It's definitely not a good thing.γ
"I know, I know"
Holding the fluffy sheets, a chuckle hung on the corner of the girl's mouth:
"A good person I met before has already told me, isn't it the reason why it is regarded as the deviation of the world's four major attributes, although to some extent it is not wrong!"
The fluffy sheets were gradually tightened, twisted, and compressed in the girl's arms, and finally turned into twisted twists.
"But I came to England to settle all this as soon as possible, I came to England so that I could go back as soon as possible, before that date in December!"
There was a glint in the girl's brown eyes that made people dare not look at it directly, and Steele had seen it in the eyes of fanatics, and in the eyes of magicians, and even he knew that his eyes would radiate such a light-
It is the determination to do whatever it takes to achieve a certain goal, and it is the "core" of a person as a support.
"It's presumptuous,But dare to ask,Are there any days in December that are special for the school city?"
"No, it doesn't matter to the school city."
"That"
"Jihad."
Even the elite magician Steele gasped when he heard the word.
In the history of the Crucifixion, jihad referred to as the Crusades.
The Crusades (Latin: Cruciata, 1096β1291) were a series of religious wars waged by feudal lords and knights of Western Europe against the countries on the eastern shores of the Mediterranean Sea with the papacy's permission. Since Jerusalem, the holy city of the Cross, fell into the hands of Islamists, most of the Crusades were directed against Islamic countries, and the main purpose was to retake Jerusalem from Islam. During the Crusades, the Church granted each warrior a cross, forming an army called a crusade.
At the beginning of each crusade, there was a sermon, an oath, and a ceremony to confer a cross on each soldier, appointing members as officers of the Church. Although the main targets of the Crusaders were Muslims, this fanaticism was also directed at the recruitment of Jews from the Crusader areas, which led to their persecution and killing.
Under the slogan of "holy war", all atrocities committed are for the glory of the Lord, forgivable and worthy of praise, and once there is an excuse like this, no matter how brutal the heart can be revealed.
The so-called human beings are such ugly creatures.
Nearly 200 years of jihad is a dark history of bones and blood and tears of countless innocent people.
But, ironically, jihad has no classical basis.
Neither in the New Testament nor in the Old Testament there is no such thing as "jihad."
It is against God's will for anyone to wage a "holy war" against unbelievers in the name of religion.
Anyone who kills an unbeliever on the grounds of mission has no scriptural basis and is contrary to God's scriptures.
Anyone who goes to war in the name of spreading the religion of the Cross is a grave sin against humanity.
Any religious war, a "holy war" waged in the name of the Lord against unbelievers, is contrary to the doctrine of the Cross because it is contrary to the biblical teaching that you should love all people, including your enemies
Therefore, the "holy war" to recover the Holy Land is completely contrary to God's will.
The "holy war" of the Crusades is completely a stain on the history of the Crusades, and it is an old creation that people cannot bear to look back on.
But,The one in front of me,From the science side,A girl from the school city,But with that chilling fanaticism,Said the word "holy war"γ
Could it be that the scientific side is going to wage a "holy war" against the magic side?
"Holy War?"
"That's right"
Mirei Misaka looked at Steele, who began to bead of sweat on her forehead, shrugged her shoulders and gradually laughed.
In the unlit room, only the moonlight shining through the huge open window shrouded in like a light veil over the girl who was wearing only her upper pajamas.
"That's right, you definitely don't understand the holy war, I'm afraid you can't understand Steele, right? Hum hum hey hey hey hahaha"
Looking at the girl who was bathed in the moonlight and laughed strangely, Steele gradually felt a cold sense of terror gradually crawling down his spine and onto his back.
"The Winter Comic-Con that I wanted to go to countless times, ahh!!h βββ
"Huh?"
"Comics! Novel! Animation! Game ah! Doujinshi! COSPLAY."
ββ
"It's going to start at the end of December! The world's largest comic con - this is our holy war!! β
β#β
"It's no problem in terms of funds.,So I'm going to kill the mistake and not let it go, but plus my brother's share.,The same thing has to be brought in a total of two.,Handling has become a big problem.,It's expected to bring a few sisters over and there is a plan to cosplay Mikoto Misaka.,You also need to be fully prepared in advance! Hey, hey! Steele, what do you want to do! β
Ignoring the girl's struggles, the bruised priest tied her up in a mess with crumpled sheets, and then muttered "I'm so stupid" and "this guy is to blame for dying in England", and went back to sleep in a huff.
The girl tied to the bed screamed:
"-I just said bastard you won't understand!!"
