Today, Misaka Mikoto explained the truth of yesterday's incident and how it was resolved to everyone, while Bai Jingyue received a notification from Aleister, marking the start of the first mission for the secret organization Protect.
Standing in front of Aleister, Bai Jingyue looked at the magician beside him, Stiyl Magnus, from the British Puritan Church. This should be the first time he has met Aleister, so he was extremely shocked.
"So, the target of this mission is this girl?" Bai Jingyue held the photo in his hand and asked Aleister.
"No, your target is to rescue Deep Blood, who is imprisoned by the magician. The girl in the photo is correct." Aleister answered Bai Jingyue, but Bai Jingyue was very clear about the issue.
"What about the magician? How do we handle it? To save this [Vampire Hunter], we will inevitably conflict with the magician who imprisoned her. What should we do? Although I can definitely deal with it, unlike this guy, as a Level 5 of the [Science Side], my defeating a magician will be seen as a declaration of war."
Bai Jingyue actually didn't intend to get involved in this matter, after all, the cause of this incident was Index, and Bai Jingyue was too lazy to interfere in Touma Kamijou's family affairs.
"Is that so? If you were just FROZEN·UNIVERSE, it would indeed be so, but aren't you also Peribit999?"
Bai Jingyue frowned. Was this Aleister's warning? A warning about the new ability Bai Jingyue displayed a few days ago? To let Bai Jingyue know that Aleister has been watching him and to keep him in line? Now, Bai Jingyue couldn't afford to make things too difficult with Aleister, after all, it wasn't the time to break ties.
After all, Bai Jingyue being a Level 5 of the [Science Side] hasn't changed. Even so, Bai Jingyue's reasons couldn't succeed, so he had to agree.
"Alright, but what is my reward?" According to the agreement, Bai Jingyue working for Aleister isn't a voluntary act.
"Changing the monogamy system to a polygamy system, how about that?"
Bai Jingyue's blood rushed to his head!
"Just kidding!"
Bai Jingyue's face twitched, barely suppressing his anger as he looked at Aleister.
"A formal base for Protect, you can choose the location, how about that?"
This time, Aleister's offer was serious. Considering the future use of the base, Bai Jingyue thought about it and agreed, ultimately deciding on a location at the midpoint of the quadrilateral formed by the 177th Branch of the Discipline Committee, Tokiwadai Middle School, a certain high school, and Bai Jingyue's home.
"Then the deal is done, I will deal with that magician."
Following Bai Jingyue out of the building, Stiyl raised his question: "Bai Jingyue, if there really is such a thing as a Vampire Hunter, does that mean vampires actually exist?"
Bai Jingyue just smiled: "With the appearance of the Heroic Spirits, what's the big deal about a mere vampire?"
Stiyl was stunned. In his understanding, he had never seen someone face death so calmly.
"Let's get one thing straight, do you have a way to suppress the Vampire Hunter's ability?" Bai Jingyue also asked his question, after all, if you're going to help, you should do it thoroughly.
"If it's just the blood ability, creating a pseudo-mobile church barrier cross is still possible."
"That's good, don't ask why, make one now."
Stiyl was very unhappy with Bai Jingyue's command, but since Index's rescue also involved Bai Jingyue's efforts, Stiyl didn't bother to argue with him and immediately started making the cross. Meanwhile, Bai Jingyue was thinking about Himegami Aisa.
To be honest, Bai Jingyue was very interested in Himegami Aisa, who supposedly has the ability of a Vampire Hunter. On the surface, only she survived in the village, while everyone else, including her parents, turned into vampires. So the question is, were all the people infected and turned into vampires, or was it originally a village where vampires lived in seclusion?
If not, why hasn't Bai Jingyue seen any similar vampire invaders since Himegami Aisa was brought to Academy City? Or has the last vampire village already been destroyed?
Finally, if Bai Jingyue's guess is correct, why does Himegami Aisa's blood attract other vampires, and why does it kill them?
In short, everything is just Bai Jingyue's guess for now. The most important thing is to consider where to arrange for Himegami Aisa to stay after rescuing her. Not at home, the house is too small, and three people are already the limit.
Bai Jingyue spent the whole afternoon wrestling with this serious issue.
By the time the cross was made, it was already evening. Bai Jingyue and Stiyl arrived outside Sazegawa Academy. They saw a row of people in medieval armor draw their blades and start singing.
"The [Thirteen Knights] and the [Gregorian Chanters]!" Stiyl didn't expect the Roman Catholic Church to be so reckless, directly performing a holy spell bombardment inside Academy City!
In an instant, Stiyl saw Bai Jingyue rush out!
"Peribit999 (I am the one who severs all)!" Blood splattered, the [Thirteen Knights] did not expect a magician to attack them while they were guiding the holy spell bombardment.
Stiyl also didn't expect Bai Jingyue to directly attack the [Thirteen Knights] of the Roman Catholic Church and even kill them. For a moment, he didn't know what to do.
"Counterattack!" In just a moment, two people from the [Thirteen Knights] lost their lives. The [Thirteen Knights], who were already few in number, immediately stopped guiding the holy spell bombardment and began to counterattack Bai Jingyue.
However, Bai Jingyue is someone who has defeated a saint, albeit a watered-down version. He didn't dodge the attacks of the remaining few knights but directly used his strength to counter them. After dispersing the attacks, taking advantage of the gap in their attacks, Bai Jingyue slashed the necks of two more people with his sword. The mere armor was no match for Bai Jingyue's strength.
The remaining three people didn't last long and were also killed. Bai Jingyue wasn't afraid of being seen by ordinary people; Stiyl had already set up runes to disperse the onlookers.
"Why?" After all, they were both on the magic side and had the same goal, so Stiyl couldn't ignore it.
"Using a strategic-level weapon in someone else's base, why shouldn't I kill them?" Bai Jingyue countered, and Stiyl fell silent after hearing this.
Bai Jingyue was right; the Roman Catholic Church using a holy spell bombardment, a strategic-level spell, inside Academy City was indeed too much. Even if they were killed, there was no room for doubt.
Then, without paying attention to the somewhat silent Stiyl, Bai Jingyue directly entered Sazegawa Academy. Stiyl sighed, threw away the cigarette butt in his hand, and followed him in. Ps: Congratulations to EDG for their two consecutive wins.
