[Comprehensive] The Disaster of Fantasy Pass

"Is there a problem?"

As soon as Kamijou Touma pushed open the closed door, Index asked the question in a cold voice, without even turning his head to look at him, and stared intently at the series of codes in front of the screen with a serious expression.

There are three LCD screens in Blonde Index’s room, and the long-used keyboard is so worn that no traces of letters can be seen, but she never looks down at the keys.

This is completely different from the Index that Kamijou Touma is familiar with. She seems to be quite familiar with electronic equipment and can operate it proficiently, but at the same time she also unabashedly reveals the indifference in her bones.

"Um... I have some questions about this world and I want to consult. Miss Index should know something about magic, right?"

"You know, it seems that the 'I' in another world has also met you."

Not surprised at all, Index put down what she was doing, turned around the computer chair and said, "Sit down first, what do you want to ask? I can answer as long as it is not confidential."

"No, I'll just ask a very simple question, and it will be fine soon."

Kamijou Touma glanced at the room where he could barely move, and suddenly remembered that Yoshikawa Kikyo's dormitory had the same structure.Could it be that the Index of this world is also a researcher, or stays at home like her?

"Not long after coming to this world, Accelerator, ah, I mean, Accelerator on our side met Alesta once before."

Kamijou Touma paused, and secretly glanced at Index's face.But her expression didn't change at all, she just nodded to let him continue.

"So, you want to ask about Aresta? Or about magic?"

"You know?" Kamijou Touma was slightly startled.

"She's a celebrity, isn't she on the magic side of your world?"

"Probably, in my opinion, he is just the leader of the science side." Kamijou Touma scratched his head: "Yang Accelerator met the chairman here, could it be that he met him in this city... No, it was quite easy to meet her?"

Index shrugged: "Although I have never seen her, it is not difficult to meet her. Is this a very difficult thing in your world?"

"Rather than saying that it's difficult to meet each other, it's better to say that Accelerator has always regarded him as his greatest enemy."

Is it really okay to say this?Aleister in their world is like a mastermind behind the scenes.

Less than a second after opening his mouth, Kamijou Touma regretted it, but it was too late.Fortunately, Index didn't pay too much attention to this.

"I don't understand what those people who live in the dark think, and I don't know the situation in another world, but in my personal opinion, Aresta, the chairman of the board here, is not a bad person. Although she will make mistakes occasionally She made a major mistake, but she did take care of every ability user who was trapped by abilities thoughtfully, and at the same time, she also made the world's technology and medical technology improve by leaps and bounds.

"To make a little digression, that idiot red-haired man outside... If it weren't for Academy City's unique medical technology, I'm afraid he would have died many times. From my point of view, what do you guys think of Alesta over here?" No worries."

"However, Alesta said something very vague to Accelerator. She took out a tarot card and said to Accelerator, 'Our common enemy is JOKER'. What does this mean? Why not explain it to Accelerator directly? "

"That's natural, magic...or the value of magic lies in its mystery, and it's worthless to put it bluntly."

"What about the meaning of JOKER?"

"The Fool not only has profound meanings in magic. Just in the Tarot cards, there will be many different interpretations depending on the type. But according to the identities of your guests, they should not be complicated..."

Kamijou Touma tilted his head in doubt, "Then the JOKER for Accelerator?"

"The Fool has too many meanings. For example, the beginning of everything, such as the unknown journey, or the soul that seeks experience. It is worth mentioning that on the card of the Fool, the Fool wears colorful clothes and strides forward, ignoring The cliff in front of you shows the danger of the situation. Going back to the meaning of magic, it also means a traveler in another world, or a lost person in another world... According to understanding, that card should refer to the two of you This is true, but it doesn't make sense logically. If you were enemies, Aresta wouldn't treat you as guests... By the way, when she showed Accelerator the card, she was in the right position. Or reverse?" Index asked.

Kamijou Touma thought for a while and replied, "Speaking of which, Accelerator said it was reversed when he handed it to him."

"The reversed fool has strong uncertainty, so it is difficult to grasp the current situation. If we combine your situation with the magical meaning, it is not the two of you who will bring us disaster, but Still a guest from another world."

"That is to say, besides me and Accelerator, there is a third person?" The room was illuminated bright red.

Index immediately turned her head, frowned tightly, and quickly tapped the keyboard.

"What happened?" Kamijou Touma asked suspiciously.

"Someone has invaded the secret library of Academy City, but the content of the investigation has nothing to do with science, but the content of magic. Moreover, he is still investigating what happened 50 years ago... Who is it?"

Kamijou Touma was a little confused, "Magic? And what happened 50 years ago?"

"Ah, as a foreigner, maybe you don't know yet? Magic doesn't exist in the world we live in now. Just 50 years ago, the existence of magic has been completely eliminated. People who can use magic now... Strictly It is said that there is only Aresta, but she is subject to many restrictions, and she cannot actually be used."

"Magic doesn't exist anymore?" Kamijou Touma said in surprise, "No, no, compared to these, let me ask you a little bit, what is Index's duty?"

"Before the magic disappears, my duty is to eliminate the traces left by all magicians when using magic, which is to act as a protective lock to 'ensure that the existence of magic will not be leaked to outsiders'. However, now that magic disappears, My duty has changed from eradicating traces of magic to eradicating traces of magic that once existed. Can you understand that? But... you know nothing about magic, but you have no doubts about its existence itself."

"After all, magic has not disappeared in our world. There are magicians everywhere outside of Academy City." Kamijou Touma sighed softly.

"I don't know the magic composition of other worlds, but in our world, the existence of magic is equivalent to the ancient civilization and technology before the Ice Age. The disappearance of magic is in a sense destroying the ancient relics, which is also a It’s a crime. However, the world has indeed become a lot more peaceful because of it.”

"I have another question, how did the magic in this world disappear?"

"It's also thanks to Alesta. How should I put it, this is something that only she can do. She completely eliminated the magic."

"Completely eliminate? Can this kind of thing be done?"

Kamijou Touma's right hand trembled.Even his right hand can only eliminate a single magic that he touched, and there is a premise that the power should not be too strong.

More importantly, Aresta ignored time and completely eliminated the existence of magic.

"It can be done, if it's Aresta, she can do it."

Index freed up one hand and handed over the empty coffee cup, Kamijou Touma hurriedly took it, found the kettle and ground coffee on the table and refilled it for her.

"Actually, Aresta once had infinite possibilities, but do you know what infinite possibilities represent?"

"?"

Index gulped down the coffee, and did not forget to explain to him while quickly manipulating the keyboard with her fingers: "Just use the words commonly used in mystery novels to explain. In this world, only mistakes are boundless, and the scope of correct solutions It is always minimal and clear. In order to completely eliminate the magic itself, she abandoned the infinite possibilities of errors in herself, and pursued the only correctness. As a result, she did succeed in obtaining the characteristics of absolute success."

"Uh, does it mean that you can succeed in whatever you do? This is too..."

"That's too unreasonable, isn't it?"

Index smiled wryly: "Of course it's not as simple as you imagined. To get the nature of 'absolute success', you must follow the law of equivalent exchange... When magic disappears from this world, Aresta must also pay One's own life, that is a trick that can only be used once in a lifetime."

Kamijou was stunned for a while before asking: "No, wait a minute? Then... who is Alesta who is in charge of Academy City now?"

"That is the strong emotion that Aresta once gave up, the cohesion of residual power, the so-called thought body. Because after the magic is eliminated, she still has to deal with the aftermath, which is the side effects left after the magic is eliminated. That is Something that you and I are very familiar with, that is, all the ability users left in this world..."

Before Index finished speaking, the red-haired Kamijou Touma pushed open the door, and Accelerator stood at the door without saying a word.

"Is the coward here?"

"Didn't I tell you to knock on the door before disturbing me?" Index stopped what she was doing helplessly, and frowned at the red-haired Touma.She knew that the other party was a reckless person, but she seldom talked nonsense to her.

"He never came to my room, what's wrong?"

"He ran out of the house without saying a word." The one who answered Index was a sad-eyed extra individual: "This is the first time he did something secretly, if you have any clues, please tell me immediately. Misaka."

Kamijou Touma recalled the conversation just now, and had a bad feeling, "Could it be the third person?"

"As for the clues, I have..." Index turned her eyes back to the screen, "Someone is attacking the defense system of Academy City Library, and the decoding method of the other party is abnormally fast, even one step faster than a supercomputer. There is only one person in our world who can compete with this calculation ability and absolute memory ability."
