Chapter 29

At this moment, Hakai Tsukino was not really leaving to help. He had no intention of dealing with the mess that Misaki Mikoto had obviously caused. He had made a promise with Touma Kamijou to fight against the magicians from the Anglican Church in England. Although Touma Kamijou did not know the affiliation of his opponents.

Hakai Tsukino had been following Touma Kamijou for the past two days and had even met Index, who was a very cute child. Today, because Saten Ruiko was taking care of Shokuhou Misaki, Hakai Tsukino, feeling bored, was just wandering around the streets. Unfortunately, he did not find the cute delinquents he wanted to see.

Of course, all the delinquents in the 7th School District now knew this demon star and were trying to avoid him, let alone provoke him. In the end, Hakai Tsukino decided to go to Touma Kamijou's place for a while.

As it turned out, he just happened to witness the scene where Touma Kamijou was being disciplined by Shiho Himeko. Seeing Touma Kamijou fall, Hakai Tsukino stepped out and said, "What a good show."

"Who's there!?" Shiho Himeko, who had just vented her frustration, immediately became tense.

"As you can see, just a... swordsman." Saying this, Hakai Tsukino drew his sword. He was quite curious about the power of a saint.

Looking at Hakai Tsukino, Shiho Himeko felt a sense of difficulty. She had heard about the defeat process described by Stiyl. She was extremely cautious about the man in front of her who claimed to be a swordsman. According to the information she had, this person was the strongest combatant in Academy City, a Level 5 named FROZENUNIVERSE, who could freeze everything. Although she did not understand the exact strength of a Level 5, as one of the strongest on the "science side," Hakai Tsukino's power could not be underestimated.

"What is your intention? Strong one."

"Intent... My intent is to protect my friend. You have the nerve to hurt Kamijou like this."

"If you had been here earlier, you would understand. We are not enemies, and your friend is not seriously injured; he just fainted. So if you could hand over Index to us for 'protection,' we are willing to apologize to you." Shiho Himeko was only thinking about bringing Index back and wanted to avoid unnecessary conflict as much as possible.

However, Hakai Tsukino had come here to fight the saint. How could he let them off so easily?

"You are really foolish, to believe such a low-quality lie." Hakai Tsukino said something that made Shiho Himeko pay attention.

"What... do you mean?"

"Want to know? Beat me!~ Peribit999 (I am the one who cuts everything)!" As he said this, a sword light slashed towards Shiho Himeko.

Ducking the sword light, Shiho Himeko looked at Hakai Tsukino, her expression turning unfriendly. "Are you serious, sir?"

In response, she heard "Ryugetsu!" This attack forced Shiho Himeko to take it seriously. The man in front of her was attacking with the intention of killing her, which also enraged Shiho Himeko.

Blocking the sword with the Seven Heavens Seven Blades in her hand, Shiho Himeko also revealed her magic name: "Salvare000 (To extend a hand to those who cannot be saved)."

The clash of blades and swords echoed in the empty street.

"Seven Flashes!" Countless blade winds rushed towards Hakai Tsukino.

"Such a small trick, don't show it here~ Engetsu!" Shao Lian swung around Hakai Tsukino, forming a ring. Unlike other techniques of the Ryugetsu style, "Ryugetsu" was a rapid attack, "Shingetsu" was a piercing attack, "Eigetsu" was an assassination technique, "Dangetsu" was a powerful slash, and "Engetsu" was a defensive technique.

Under the protection of Engetsu, there were no flaws. The steel wires were cut as soon as they approached.

"Dangetsu!" The ground was gouged out by a large pit, but Shiho Himeko had already moved behind Hakai Tsukino and swung her weapon. Hakai Tsukino simply placed his sword on his back, blocking the Seven Heavens Seven Blades. A powerful force came from behind, but Hakai Tsukino's body only trembled slightly, and the force was transmitted into the ground.

After several more clashes, both realized they were evenly matched. Shiho Himeko stepped back and sheathed her sword. "Be careful, I will use [Only Flash], don't die." Facing Hakai Tsukino, Shiho Himeko had no better options. [Seven Flashes] was being countered, and although her physical abilities were superior, her techniques were inferior to his. She had to use her ultimate move.

"Only Flash!"

"Mizugetsu~"

After using [Only Flash], Shiho Himeko's body was already behind Hakai Tsukino. "I am sorry, I did not want it to be like this. Please tell me what you meant earlier."

Shiho Himeko, waiting for Hakai Tsukino to fall, was stunned when a sword was placed at her throat. "Although I wanted to use [Yugetsu] to counter your [Only Flash], I couldn't use it for now. So I used a deceptive sword technique. I am sorry."

[Only Flash] was powerful, but it was a single-target attack. If it hit a phantom, it was not a concern.

"I admit defeat..." Shiho Himeko was somewhat dejected. As a saint, losing to an ordinary person, even with the factor of underestimation, was still a failure. Not activating the saint mark in time was the root of her failure.

Stiyl also came out, unable to say anything in this situation. Although it was a bit of a trick, a battle was a battle. Hakai Tsukino, an "ordinary person," had defeated a saint, and he had not even used his superpower as a Level 5 in Academy City. Did this mean that Hakai Tsukino's strength was already above that of a saint?

"Boring, is the strength of a saint merely based on the so-called [saint mark]? It's just like this." Although Shiho Himeko's physical abilities were superior to Hakai Tsukino's, her clumsy and weak combat techniques did not interest him. He would rather practice with his senior brothers in Shu Mountain. Feeling bored, Hakai Tsukino put away his weapon and was about to leave with the unconscious Touma Kamijou.

"Wait! What did you mean earlier?" Shiho Himeko was extremely unwilling, but her intuition told her that it was a very important matter.

Smiling, Hakai Tsukino turned around. "How far back can you remember?"

Eh? Although she had some doubts, Shiho Himeko still answered, "Around five years old."

"So you can remember twelve years of events? Then your memory can store twelve times the 15% of Index's memory, which is 180% of an ordinary person's memory. Why hasn't your brain exploded~?"

Shuddering, both Shiho Himeko and Stiyl were terrified by their current speculation. If this were true, what had they been doing all these years?

"But... it's because I can... forget unnecessary things, right? Then what about those old people in their seventies? Do you think they have more than seven years of memory? No... I'll just ask you, when did Index start losing her memory? Before seven years old? Or after seven years old? Hehe..."

Without answering, they knew the answer. If Index's 15% memory could only store one year, she would have exceeded 100% by the age of seven.

Faced with such a terrifying reality, the two magicians from the Anglican Church in England were at a loss. This meant they had been deceived by the higher-ups and had been causing unnecessary harm to Index all along.

Without paying any more attention to these two, Hakai Tsukino left, taking the unconscious Touma Kamijou with him.
