Academy City is located in the west of the island nation's capital. Seen from a high altitude, the city is a very regular circle.

After the end of World War II, due to the defeat of the island country, the political and economic systems of the entire country almost completely collapsed, which gave the founders of this city the opportunity to build such an almost national dynasty.

In 1950, a mysterious man bought a piece of land in the west of the island country's capital with a huge amount of property. At that time, the island country was in dire straits and was in urgent need of financial support, so it agreed to the deal.

Subsequently, the founder of Academy City, the mysterious Chairman of the Board, established the initial prototype of the city in that generation. With the establishment and development of Academy City, its technological level gradually became ahead of the outside world, and was competing with other countries. A large amount of money was captured from the local trade between the country and the island country, and coupled with the support of other large conglomerates from the outside world, the city expanded rapidly.

After entering the 21st century, the overall area of ​​Academy City has reached 700 square kilometers, which is one-third the size of the island nation's capital area.

This city, which claims to be 30 years ahead of the outside world in terms of technology, has a total of 23 school districts and a population of nearly 2.3 million people. More than 80% of the residents are students, and its research and study are still science fiction in the eyes of the outside world. 's super power’

……

"I was still thinking about what new identity I should give myself as a gangster, but now it seems that I don't need to think about it at all. I have become a 'Gremlin' directly."

Wearing simple and comfortable casual clothes, Roy came to Academy City. He entered through the gate on the east side of Academy City. The first thing he came to was District 11.

The entire Academy City is only so big, and it is already rich in natural resources. It cannot be described as scarce. It can even be said that this special city must have external support to operate. A large number of trucks come in and out through the east gate every day, transporting important materials that can make the entire city run.

The Eleventh District is such a logistics area.

Looking around, the roads in this area are extremely neatly built. Warehouses and operating factories can be seen everywhere. There are no living facilities at all. Transporters from the outside world will transport goods here. Cargo loading and unloading is the area where the entire Academy City has the largest exchanges with the outside world.

Academy City's security force is extremely strong, not at the physical level, but at the technological level. If there is no identification, it can be said that in this place It is difficult to move around in the city, and it is easy to be hunted down by various means. It is not difficult to enter the city with Roy's ability. With a little deception, the guards can enter, but after entering, Roy also discovered a problem because he did not have identification. , the whole city is against him almost everywhere. Even if you walk casually in a corner, you may be spotted by the camera. If your personal identity information cannot be found after verification, you will be under the cover of the entire city. The police officers were chasing him.

This made Roy even have to turn on the 'Seeing God's Face' after entering Academy City in order to allow him to pass unimpeded.

"Therefore, technology also has its benefits. Even if my magic can affect others through electronic signals, in such a strict and closed city, a special person like me is like a beam of light in the darkness, and it is easy to Being discovered."

Roy sighed. The moment he stepped into Academy City, he knew he had been discovered.

It was a spiritual intuition, as if he was being watched by someone. Every particle in the air seemed to have With the surveillance function, it seems that all the privacy of oneself has been exposed.

The air loop is a nano-level robot. It walks in the air of the entire Academy City, explores for information, and then transmits it through quantum signals.

Since these things are too small in size and too numerous in number, it can be said that unless Roy uses a large-scale city-level destruction spell, it will be impossible to wipe out all these robots in the air. Of course,

Roy can also reset the The formula can be used to reject the surveillance of these robots with magic, but that will still cause a big problem.

Because there are too many espers in the entire city, Academy City is shrouded in a complex AIM overlapping force field. If If you use magic here, it is equivalent to dropping ink in a pool of clear water. It is simply too obvious to be obvious, and your position will be exposed immediately.

In addition, Academy City's technology is thirty years ahead of the outside world. Those instruments are even less likely to block the surveillance signals in this city. It can be said that no matter whether it is magic or technological means, people can hide themselves in this city.

Roy had already expected this, and he was not prepared to hide it. How is it possible to sneak into this city by yourself? This city was founded by Aleister for more than fifty years. As the greatest magician of the twentieth century, Aleister spent more than fifty years to build this place. How could it be possible? Let others easily escape his surveillance.

If Roy can really escape Aleister's observation easily, he will never admire his own power, but will only despise Aleister's waste.

So instead of Instead of thinking about how to sneak in secretly, you might as well just walk in openly.

"What happened to those magicians? Didn’t you find something wrong with this city?"

Roy frowned. Academy City was built on the earth, right next to the capital of the island country. Through artificial satellites, it is easy to see the outline and shape of the entire city from space.

And if it is seen from high altitude, it will It was found that this city is an extremely complete circle. As a land covering an area of ​​700 square kilometers, the accuracy of this circle has reached the level of meters. For those who are not familiar with it, they will only think that the founder of this city is An obsessive-compulsive disorder, but for knowledgeable magicians, this is a huge problem.

Such a regular circle has a huge symbolic meaning in the field of magic. The outline of the city is a complete circle, and the interior is surrounded by Various school districts are divided. If those school districts are expressed through other symbols, you will find that this city is basically a 'temple', a huge ritual venue built in the name of science.

"Purely deceiving people, Aleister took advantage of people's blind spots in thinking. He divided the world into two opposing camps: magic and science. In the eyes of other magicians, Academy City represents the science camp. Even if there are magicians, Discovered the secrets that the city might be hiding, and other magicians wouldn’t believe it"

"……The base camp of the science camp is actually a magic ritual venue outside. This sounds like a joke. As expected of Aleister, he actually artificially created this kind of antagonism that transcends class and re-divided the world's camps."

Roy sighed in his heart. Aleister has used his own ability to create a new ideological opposition in this world, which is simply amazing. Whether it is people who advocate science or magicians, They will never consider that there is no difference between science and magic in this world. They are just part of the rules of the world's operation. The opposition between magic and science in this world was created by someone himself. With this idea

, Roy finally stepped into Academy City.

Academy City's Eleventh District was not strictly censored because it had too much contact with the outside world, but he wanted to go through the Eleventh District and enter the adjacent Tenth and Eighteenth Districts. District and the 23rd District, then they will face extremely strict defense.

Roy took the bus like an ordinary person and came to the checkpoint leading to the 18th District. After making preparations to use 'magic' to sneak out, after being scanned by Academy City's various advanced instruments, his information appeared directly on the big screen in front of him.

"Welcome back to Academy City, Mr. Roy Crowley!"

The guard guard handed an important ID card from Academy City to Roy. Roy took it without changing his expression. After nodding to the guard with a smile, he walked directly through the checkpoint and entered completely. Arriving inside Academy City.

He lowered his head and glanced at the ID card in his hand. This is like an ID card in Academy City. The information recorded is extremely comprehensive. The avatar in the photo is him. There is no problem with it. If there are any signs of artificial synthesis, Roy can be sure that this photo must have been secretly photographed by a certain monitor not long ago.

The mark on the ability level is: Level.0, which is also very consistent with the situation in Academy City and the development of super powers. He has been doing it since he was a child, and the overall development time of superpowers is not long. Even the first batch of developed superpowers are still around the age of high school students, and Roy definitely cannot be a high school student from his appearance. , so theoretically he cannot be a person with abilities.

Of course, there is another possibility that Roy is a rough stone, but rough stones are very rare in the entire world. If he is set to be a rough stone, he will instantly enter the hearts of countless people. In sight.

The setting of the entire identity card is extremely ordinary, the type that cannot be found if thrown into a pile of people, but at the same time, this identity card also represents countless possibilities.

If Roy wants He has been living a low-key life in Academy City without anyone noticing. Now the information on this card is enough to allow him to easily live an ordinary life without attracting anyone's attention. If he wants to do something high-profile Certain actions attracted the attention of some people. He was able to use his own ability to fill in the content he needed on this mostly blank ID card. It can be said that the person who registered the Academy City ID card for Roy was All choices were given to him, allowing him to live in this city as he pleased.

Roy had not directly invaded the city's information system, nor had he manipulated others to invade, but he could easily discover that Roy There is only one person in the entire Academy City who can do this by finding Yi's whereabouts and going through the backdoor in the 'library' to add a new piece of information to her -

Academy City's Managing Director, Aleister Crow. profit!

"Huh, is this you, as a father, cautiously greeting your children?"

A picture flashed in Roy's mind. The old father who felt sorry for his son did not dare to see the child in person. He could only give something to the child through the hands of others out of fear.

Roy sneered, with ridicule and playfulness in his eyes. According to the inheritance law, he can have the first inheritance right to this city.

"Haha, I really want to see your expression now, Aleister...my dear father!"

Roy looked in one direction. Although there were many tall buildings blocking it, his eyes seemed to penetrate everything and looked towards the 'building without doors and windows'.
