Chapter 878: Kamijou Touma

Ten minutes ago.

In the seventh district, near the student dormitory, on one of the shopping streets.

This night was particularly quiet.

The empty intersection that was dozens of meters wide seemed a bit unusual.

A guy with black hair and a prickly hedgehog hairstyle was walking down the street. His body was completely ordinary, and he was wearing a white shirt and black trousers.

He looked a little tired.

— Eh~... I've been seeing a lot of strange things lately.

Failure was a part of this guy's daily life, and his failure couldn't be explained by science. As soon as he went out on the street, various unfortunate events befell him, for example: three times in one exit he stepped on dog poop, once he was robbed, almost became the culprit of a car accident, a flower pot almost fell on his head twice, and four times he almost lost his own yandex. money wallet.

And such incidents haunted him all his life. Because of this, he developed unique habits. For example, he didn't walk near buildings or in alleys where there were few people. He always watched his feet and never hurried around traffic lights.

This guy's name was Kamijou Touma. He is an extremely unlucky guy who is constantly very unlucky.

As a child, 138 hospitalizations taught Kamijou that the world is dangerous and full of anger, but he still loved life and was willing to help others.

He was actually a kind guy.

The abnormal silence of the street caught Kamijou Touma's attention. It was so unusual that the first thing he thought about was whether there was some major natural disaster that he hadn't received a warning about?

It sounded ridiculous, but given his luck, it wasn't impossible.

— Absolutely... No one? Kamijou Touma panicked. Not only was the street completely empty, but even the shops and intersections were empty of people.

More importantly, the lights in the shopping center nearby were still on, indicating that there had been people there just a short time ago, but they had suddenly left at one point.

— Touma's sixth sense began to scream that something had happened.

*Knock-knock-knock-knock...*

On the quiet street, the sound of footsteps was especially clear.

— It's just a rune that removes unnecessary witnesses — " a female voice rang out, and Kamijou Touma subconsciously looked at its source.

He saw a slender girl with a black long ponytail scythe and a long sword in a scabbard. Her sword was at least a meter and a half long.

She was wearing jeans and a white T-shirt. The left leg of her jeans was almost completely cut off, exposing her fair and slender thigh. A white T-shirt was tied over her chest, revealing a view of her lower stomach and lower back.

Considering her clothes and appearance, she might have been in her twenties, but in reality, she was only eighteen years old. She is Kaori Kanzaki, a "Saint" and one of the strongest people on the magic side.

Her title of "Saint" also indicated that she could use some of the "Divine Powers".».

Usually, "Saints" were mages with extremely good physical fitness. Mages used spells to conduct combat, while "Saints" used magic as an auxiliary tool, and their physical strength as the main means of conducting combat.

As for Kaori Kanzaki, she relied on her sword skills, and the long sword in her hand was called " Seven Heavens, Seven Swords».

— Who are you...  Kamijou Touma felt that something was wrong. When he heard the keyword "spell", he was reminded of the mage he had fought last night.

This girl could be his partner.

— My name is Kaori Kanzaki. I don't want to give another name unnecessarily.

Hearing this warning, Kamijou Touma tensed up and prepared for battle.

The fact that he was able to defeat a mage yesterday made him a little more confident.

— I hope I can get her back for the defense before I have to give up my title. I think you know who I mean.

— What if I refuse?

— Saying that, Kaori Kanzaki unsheathed her sword.

With a sharp click and a barely noticeable flash, a pillar about a meter away from Kamijou Touma fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Kamijou Touma felt his heart turn cold, but he still rushed forward. His superpower was still with him, and even though his opponent was very strong, he wouldn't give that girl to her.

A couple of minutes later, Kamijou Touma, who was previously filled with fighting spirit, was lying on the ground. There were more than a dozen not very deep scars on his right arm.

Kaori Kanzaki stepped on his chest with one foot. Her expression was very cold.

The power gap was too obvious.

— Why don't you kill me? I should have died so many times already, but since you're hesitant, it means that you still have a conscience, and since that's the case, you should know that there's no way I'll give her up to those who almost killed her with a stab in the back earlier.

Since he couldn't beat her in a fair fight, Kamijou Touma decided to use his tongue.

But Kamijou Touma actually misunderstood. Kaori Kanzaki didn't want to kidnap Index, but wanted to protect her.

Index is a nun from the Church of England. She grew up at St George's Cathedral in England. She was now 14 years old, but because of her special memory, she was entrusted with a difficult mission. One hundred and three thousand different grimoires were "loaded" into her brain.

Of course, since the English Church wanted to keep such a person under strict control, they made a statement that Index's memory had to be cleaned every year, otherwise the pressure of knowing a hundred and three thousand different grimoires would simply kill her.

In other words, Index's memory was cleared once a year until she finished memorizing the last grimoire.

The amazing thing was that some people actually believed it, and believed it one hundred percent. In order to "protect" Index's life, many people fought with all their might, and every year all those who considered her a member of their family suffered from Index forgetting them all, and Kaori Kanzaki was one of them.

But this time Index escaped, and Kaori Kanzaki and Steel Magnus immediately went after her. Stale Magnus was quite a formidable wizard who used runes and fire magic.

Since the date of clearing her memory was approaching, the two of them wanted to find Index as quickly as possible and save her.

As for Toma's accusation, it was actually his own fault. His superpower damaged Index's clothes, and since her clothes previously completely protected her from any attacks, Kaori Kanzaki knew this and hit her with her sword, not even suspecting that she could have injured Index.

So right now, Kaori Kanzaki, who wanted to protect the Index, was fighting against Kamijou Touma, who also wanted to protect the Index.

— Do you think that's what I wanted? What do you know?" What do you even know about her?! Kaori Kanzaki suddenly lost her composure. She felt guilty for hurting Index with her own hands, and was very worried that the date of clearing the memory was getting closer and closer, and she couldn't get it back.
