Why haven't Touma Kamijou and the others come out yet?
Shirai Kuroko's doubts quickly alerted Shokuhou Misaki.
"That's strange, I haven't seen those two either." Shokuhou Misaki said with a puzzled expression after listening to Shirai Kuroko's account. "Have they... really come out already?"
Shokuhou Misaki's eyes and ears could be said to be all over the escape routes of Misawa Cram School at this time. If even so many eyes haven't spotted Touma Kamijou and the others... then there's only one possibility.
"It seems he must be lost and not on any of the correct evacuation routes," Shokuhou Misaki concluded.
Evacuating thousands of people simultaneously in a short amount of time isn't easy. To ensure efficiency, Shokuhou Misaki used all available escape routes.
The fact that they still haven't encountered Touma Kamijou, who left ahead of them, can only mean he took the wrong path.
"Honestly, even if he's in a wheelchair, there's no need to imitate the Nameless Senior in this aspect too!" Shokuhou Misaki complained, then shouted loudly, "Misaka, hang in there a little longer, I'll have people look for them!"
Misaka Mikoto turned her head with some difficulty, slowly making an OK gesture.
Just then, a loud crash was heard, and a section of wall on the fifth floor suddenly shattered, with broken pieces falling from the sky.
Immediately after, Touma Kazari was seen pushing a wheelchair out of the hole.
"Someone, anyone, catch us!" Touma Kazari shouted loudly as she fell through the air.
"Senior, what are you doing!" Shirai Kuroko exclaimed in shock and quickly prepared to use her space teleportation ability to catch them.
But before that, Misaka Mikoto had already raised her hand towards the wheelchair in mid-air, and with the power of electromagnetism, the momentum of Touma Kazari and Lin Wuming's fall was controlled.
A few seconds later, the two of them and the wheelchair landed gently and smoothly.
As a price for the distraction, Misaka Mikoto's maintenance of the Misawa Cram School's main structure finally failed.
Like dominoes, the four school buildings collapsed one after another.
"Oh no, Senior Kamijou and the others..." Shirai Kuroko quickly looked towards the ruins.
In a cloud of dust, the outline of a figure suddenly appeared.
Someone immediately dispersed the dust, and Touma Kamijou was seen staggering out of the rubble, dragging Aureolus Izzard by the back of his collar.
At the critical moment just now, Touma Kamijou finally found the correct route.
But because the ground conditions were bad, Touma Kamijou had no choice but to abandon the wheelchair in order to escape, and reluctantly rely on his more capable legs to escape to safety.
"A top-of-the-line wheelchair worth millions..."
After confirming that he was out of danger, Touma Kamijou's first reaction was still heartache.
Just like Motoharu Tsuchimikado said back then—that wheelchair was likely the most expensive vehicle he would ever own in his life!
"Ah! Unfortunate..."
Feeling exhausted, Touma Kamijou casually threw Aureolus, whom he had risked his life to save, on the ground, and then plopped down on the ground himself.
"It's finally over..." Touma Kamijou panted, looking to the other side, "What's wrong with Wuming?"
In the midst of several girls surrounding him in the distance, Lin Wuming's figure could be vaguely seen.
Similar to Aureolus's situation beside him, Lin Wuming was also covered in blood, unconscious and unresponsive.
"It's said to be commonplace," Shirai Kuroko replied as she passed by him. "But no matter how you look at it, it seems serious, right?"
Because she was concerned, Shirai Kuroko also stepped forward to check the situation.
"This is the first time I've seen Wuming in such a disheveled state," Touma Kamijou murmured. "Wasn't everything going smoothly before we separated? Could it be that he encountered some kind of bizarre magical attack again?"
In Touma Kamijou's view, Lin Wuming is a powerful Level 5 esper and shouldn't have ended up in such a state.
You have to know that when fighting against the natural disasters in Misawa Cram School just now, Lin Wuming was in the dominant position the whole time, suppressing all kinds of natural disasters with his own strength. He was really unbelievably powerful.
How did he suddenly become like this? It must be because of some kind of bizarre magical effect, he was ambushed!
Thinking of this, Touma Kamijou clenched his right hand and got up to walk over there: "If it's magical damage, maybe I can deal with it!"
...
While there was a lively scene in front of Misawa Cram School, a little further away, Vittorio, a member of the Roman Orthodox Church's Knight Order, was secretly observing the situation there.
Because a large number of espers were gathered near Misawa Cram School at this time, Vittorio and his team did not dare to approach easily, but his duty was to confirm the results of the operation, so he could only observe from a distance.
"I advise you not to do anything unnecessary," someone suddenly said from the side.
The sparks lit by the cigarette illuminated Stiyl's face: "I don't know what kind of agreement you have reached with that Chairman, but you don't need to think about it to know that in the current situation, if you clash with those espers, the ones who will suffer in the end will definitely not be them."
"Necessarius," Vittorio snorted coldly, "Guys who collude with this city..."
"Hey, hey, hey, wake up a bit, Mr. Knight," Stiyl waved his cigarette, "I am a magician, and also a follower of the Cross. I am giving you advice as a fellow!"
Stiyl said with a serious expression: "Don't do anything unnecessary! No matter what our relationship is, there is only one thing—we don't want to provoke a war with Academy City—at least on this point, our positions should be consistent."
"Not to mention," Stiyl suddenly sneered, "Even if a war really breaks out, you don't have the slightest chance of winning."
After a moment of silence, Vittorio changed the subject somewhat stiffly: "So, the one who finally defeated Aureolus was that boy? The guardian of the Index Librorum Prohibitorum of this generation?"
Seeing the scene of Touma Kamijou dragging Aureolus out of the rubble, it was easy to imagine—that he had personally defeated the alchemist.
"Who knows?" Stiyl shrugged, "I think, maybe your secret weapon played a role."
Vittorio immediately shut his mouth and said nothing more; "secret weapon" was top secret, and according to the above, not even a trace of information could be revealed.
But in fact, even if Vittorio wanted to reveal some secrets, he couldn't, because he didn't actually know about the existence of "God's Right Seat".
