Tang Shu smiled. Mikoto Misaka said the main reason. Because of the existence of the Academy City and the efforts over the years, it has been accepted by the public in the world that humans can have superpowers, but there are also many people who do not believe in it at all. This is the complexity of human nature. Many people are more willing to believe in the situation they imagine, and even if they see it with their own eyes, they cannot change this view. Some people also think that this is just something that can be done with special devices.

But the situation is already good now. At least since the establishment of Academic City, it has been promoting it to the public. Over the years, most people have accepted this fact, although it is incredible. This is also an advantage or special thing about Academic City.

Because magic is more secret than superpowers and has never been revealed before the public. Even though the profession of magicians is much lower than that of superpowers, various churches and sects rarely spread. As for the reason, Tang Shu is also very clear. If all things like magic or superpowers are spread, it will be too threatening to rulers and those in power, so even if the church has such a powerful force, it still dare not do so.

After all, the world has developed to the present situation. Because of the development of technology, people's power has increased a lot. Even if magic and superpowers are very powerful, human technological weapons are not vegetarians. The church and various magic associations do not want to have such fundamental conflicts with various human countries.

What's more, although there is almost no threshold for a magician, it takes a lot of energy to train a qualified magician!

As for the dissemination of superpowers, countries did not resist too much. It was not that those in power and rulers were not worried about the impact of this ability, but because of the characteristics of superpowers, the threshold was too large, and the elimination rate was 80%. Most of the remaining 20% ​​were low-level abilities with little combat power, and high-level abilities with huge combat power and outstanding effects were too rare. It was precisely because of this scarcity that reduced the threat too much.

In addition, the Academy City is also a scientific base camp, with a scientific and technological capability that surpasses all countries for 30 years. This is also the most coveted by all countries. Due to various reasons or the inducement of interests, the superpower is openly promoted, and the Academy City can attract students from all countries.

Originally, many countries made the world situation very complicated. Coupled with inexplicable magic and superpowers, especially faith, the world situation is even more complicated, but Tang Shu is very clear. The essence of everything is nothing more than interests and the prey of the weak.

Because it is very clear, Tang Shu doesn't care about those things, because as long as he has strong enough power, no environment or form can affect it! With a faint smile on his face, he listened to Misaka Mikoto telling all kinds of new things in Russia. The girl's thoughts and cognition are very interesting, although very one-sided.

While talking, Mikoto Misaka suddenly paused and looked around. She showed a mysterious look, which made Tang Shu laugh. Tang Shu's residence was naturally very safe, and she didn't say it before. However, after having his own abilities, Tang Shu put a lot of effort into the safety of his residence. Not to mention that even if the windows are open, nano-level things like Yaresta's detection methods still cannot enter Tang Shu's residence.

Looking at Misaka Mikoto with interest, it was rare for the girl to show her posture. Tang Shu naturally wanted to know what she was going to do. Tang Shu also had some guesses.

"Do you know magic? Uh, or do you believe in the existence of magic? There is also a magician similar to that in novels and movies?" Misaka Mikoto whispered. Her clean little face was full of deep expectations and weirdness. Before Tang Shu could answer, Misaka Mikoto seemed to have thought of Tang Shu's answer and said to herself,

"You definitely won't believe it. It's true that living in the science and technology city of Academic City, no matter how naive people are, they probably won't believe this kind of thing. After all, this kind of thing is really incredible. It's often only in novels and movies."

Tang Shu's eyes twitched. Although magic is inexplicable, the mysteriousness of superpowers is no less than magic. But superpowers have become the product of science and technology in a blatant way. This really makes Tang Shu feel a little weird. Although the development of superpowers seems to be a bit scientific, it is essentially no different from magic. Otherwise, the school city would not be able to grasp the development and development of abilities.

The greatest role of science and technology in terms of ability is nothing more than the explanation of the principle of ability through science and technology and the improvement of computing capabilities through mechanical settings. This is like rough mining of ores, and then the ore is treated and beautiful. To a certain extent, this is no different from magic.

It can even be said that the theory of magic may be more perfect, not like superpowers, with many strange abilities. Whether it is a research institute or a development researcher, they all know the reason but not the reason. But, well, in fact, Xueyuan City is still very good at packaging superpowers.

At least some successful cases are enough to illustrate the problem. This may really be considered a kind of science. After all, science is also a discipline that pursues and tells the rules of the world, but the theory of magic seems to be the same, but it just gives people a feeling that it is too mysterious and incredible, not as down-to-earth as science, and has a complete foundation and context that can be accepted by the public.

When Tang Shu thought about the matter, he felt a little strange, but he did not delve into or explore the true essence. No matter how mysterious and incredible it exists, it is reasonable, especially because this is the spiritual world, and the rules of such a world are naturally different. Tang Shu is very clear that as long as he has this ability, he can improve his abilities and become stronger.

He is not the kind of scientist who is serious, so there is no need to think too much. He threw this idea aside and continued to look at Misaka Mikoto's mysterious appearance. Under the sunlight outside the window, Misaka Mikoto's delicate little face was covered with a layer of bright light, which was very cute. Especially the way he wanted to share secrets with his friends and friends, Tang Shu felt it was very interesting, so he cooperated very much without revealing what he knew about magic and magicians.

"You don't know, I saw the magicians with my own eyes in Russia this time and also saw them using magic. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe it, but it was the case that there was magic in this world." Misaka Mikoto blushed, obviously she was very happy to understand a secret hidden in the world, which was also in line with the nature of a girl of her age. Her posture showed how deeply the situation at that time impressed her.

"Is that true?" Tang Shu showed a look of surprise and shock just right. His performance made Misaka Mikoto very satisfied.

"Really!" Mikoto Misaka nodded vigorously to increase her credibility, and then said with some regret, "It's a pity that the situation was a bit urgent and I didn't care about shooting at all, otherwise I would definitely record it so that you can see it clearly. I had this idea afterwards. But I'm sorry to mention it, after all, this is not good for my friends. However, I left photos with the other party, and they are very good people."

Mikoto Misaka took out the trait-like version of the Gutai smartphone that Tang Shu gave her, and quickly operated it. Then she handed the phone to Tang Shu, while letting Tang Shu watch it, saying, "She's name is Resa. She is...uh, she is a member of a magic association called "Light of Rebirth". Oh, the so-called magic association is the faction and organization of the magic world. It seems to be decided through region or belief and their magic faction."

Mikoto Misaka said hesitantly, while thinking carefully that it was obvious that things in the magic world were still a little unfamiliar to her, and she did not understand so clearly. She just told Tang Shu what Lesa told her back then.

"Their magic is very special, and there are many types. Different methods can be used in the face of different situations. Compared with superpowers, the disadvantage is that their magic, or the use of some magic requires preparation or rituals to be used. In short, it is very special and interesting." After all, I don't know much about the magic world, so Mikoto Misaka can only explain this way.

"That's right!" Tang Shu nodded with thoughtful look, as if he was really shocked by Mikoto Misaka's statement. Then he said, "I used to talk to my family about magic, but I was still young at that time and I didn't remember it very clearly. Later, something happened at home, and only me and some servants were left. I forgot about these things. Now when you talk about it, I seem to remember some of them."

Mikoto Misaka was stunned. She heard Tang Shu mention his life experience. Well, it was naturally a life experience made up by Tang Shu. She knew that Tang Shu was born into a family with a long history and rich and powerful family. She had expressed sympathy and regret for Tang Shu's experience before. At this time, when she heard Tang Shu's statement, Mikoto Misaka felt a little strange. She was able to get involved in magic. It can be seen that the family mentioned by Tang Shu is really extraordinary.

"Let me call the old butler and ask, he might know something." Tang Shuru said, without a doubt, this guy said this to give him a vaccination for himself in the future to understand the magic world. After all, who is the so-called old butler and what he knows, Mikoto Misaka doesn't know. But after all, a girl like Mikoto Misaka, who is simple and without any ambitions, is just curious about magic.

"Oh!" Mikoto Misaka nodded, and then said enthusiastically, "If you know anything, you have to tell me back. I am also very interested in the magic world that Resa talks about. By the way, Resa has a very interesting name for our school city to become a scientific base camp."

"No problem, no one can hide this kind of thing from you. Tell me what good things I did in Russia this time, why did I get together with the magician and become friends? So you must have fought side by side?" Tang Shujing asked curiously.

Mikoto Misaka was a little shy. Although Mikoto Misaka was a hero in Russia, she was not the kind of girl who liked to show off herself, so she didn't want to talk about this matter. She was also worried that Tang Shu would blame her. After all, this matter was very dangerous.

However, because of his ambiguous relationship with Tang Shu, Misaka Mikoto did not want to hide it at the request of Tang Shu. He could only tell the Russian affairs lightly. After saying that, Misaka Mikoto said a little angrily,

"Why do you think those people are so bad?! As a cooperative organization, they should be an ally of the Academy City. Why do they inexplicably want to use nuclear bombs to destroy the Academy City? Don't they think about how many people there exist in the Academy City? If they are really successful, how many casualties will be brought!"

Looking at Misaka Mikoto's indignation, Tang Shu smiled. This is Mikoto Misaka, who is innocent and cute but full of justice. Although Tang Shu himself is not a good person, he definitely does not hate good people. Instead, he likes good people very much and wishes that the whole world is good people, but this kind of thing is impossible.

After pinching Misaka Mikoto's tender and smooth face, Tang Shu said, "What else can be done? It can only be because of interests. The Academy City is actually very prominent, just like... Yes, it stands out from the crowd. Because of transcendent science and technology, many countries in the world are envious, jealous and hateful of Academy City, and are worried that Academy City will affect their respective status. Although the cooperative agencies of various countries and regions show that they are allies of Academy City, only they themselves know the facts. The emergence and foothold of Academy City is difficult, and support must be obtained through some interests.

When someone feels dissatisfied with those interests, or thinks that the school city is not generous enough, or even feels that the development of the school city threatens them, then allies will turn against each other at any time. This kind of thing is not unimaginable. The relationship between large forces similar to that of such a large number of forces is always so complicated."

Speaking of this, Tang Shu shrugged, and Mikoto Misaka looked a little weak when she heard this, locking her small brow and frowned.

"I really don't know what those adults, especially those in power, think. Isn't it okay to be simple? Isn't it good to live in peace and develop together? Now that weapons are so powerful, aren't they worried about war breaking out and destroying the world?"

"It would be great if everyone could think like you, but the interests are touching and can blind people's hearts. After all, the resources in this world are limited. Moreover, because of the differences in races and even countries, they are wary of each other, and it is difficult to treat each other equally. Even if all countries are calling for the so-called equality of everyone, it is just a slogan. Even if ordinary people are still jealous, angry and even fighting for some trivial matters, let alone between countries." Tang Shu said,

Looking at Mikoto Misaka's distressed look, Tang Shu rubbed her hair, "Okay, don't think so much, you need to keep your own beauty. Although the essence of this world is so cruel, it is also hidden in the pressing. Daily life is still very beautiful. And no matter how, there are not many fools in this world, especially those big people, even if their hearts are blinded by interests, they still know the bottom line, and they cherish their lives more!"

Misaka Mikoto moved away with some dissatisfaction when Tang Shu rubbed her head, rather than as Tang Shu held her hand, because Mikoto Mikoto felt that such actions seemed to be regarded as an ignorant child, even in front of adults, let alone Tang Shu who had the feeling of a lover.

Moreover, Tang Shu's words made her feel a little uncomfortable, or she didn't like it, but she could know that this is true. Although she is still young and lacks knowledge and experience, it does not mean that Mikoto Misaka is a fool. As a superpowered person with lv5, how could she be a fool? Her powerful computing power when operating superpowers ensures that her IQ is far above ordinary smart people.

"Okay, let's not mention these things anymore. Let's leave these things to the directors of the General Council to decide." Misaka Mikoto shook her head and gave up thinking about these things that made her feel bad.

"Now you think of the people who are in charge of the board of directors. Why don't you notify them directly when you encounter something? Since you have mastered the school city, then these are naturally their responsibility. You are just a student in the school city. You can't be so arrogant next time." Tang Shu said seriously,

Misaka Mikoto stuck out her tongue and knew that Tang Shu was worried about her, so she naturally would not argue anything, but she still gave her own excuses. "The situation was too urgent at that time. Although I notified the team leader, it was a matter of whether I could have time. For the safety of the Academy City, I naturally couldn't get out of the matter. Moreover, the irrelevant magicians were working hard for the safety of the Academy City. How could I escape in the face of the battle?"

"You have many excuses." Tang Shu was speechless, "How do you know that there is no way for the General Council? With the technology that is far beyond the outside world, I can guarantee that even if the nuclear bomb is really launched, it will definitely not hurt the academic city!"

"Hmph, how can such a thing be sure of? This is related to millions of people in the Academy City, no, and even tens of millions of people in Tokyo City. Such things cannot be gambled!" Mikoto Misaka said disagreeably. This kind girl definitely doesn't want to take such risks.

Tang Shu pinched his eyebrows speechlessly. There was no way to be serious about such things. After all, the probability of things really cannot be explained clearly. Not to mention Misaka Mikoto's kindness, but with her strong and fond of fighting, she still knows these things, even though she knows them.

"Forget it, I won't talk about these things anymore, but you have to remember that no matter where you do, you have to bring a pendant. If you encounter danger and things that cannot be solved, you must crush them immediately. I will go over to help you at that time, do you know?" Tang Shu looked at Mikoto Misaka's eyes and said seriously.

Misaka Mikoto looked at Tang Shu like this, a trace of curve appeared on the corner of her mouth. The feeling of being cared for and cared for made her face a little hot. She nodded seriously and expressed her understanding. When she felt the strange pendant on her chest, Mikoto Misaka's heart was particularly warm.

"By the way, you said that since magicians exist, and they are divided into different categories due to faith, do magicians also exist in places like Christianity, or Vatican, and other famous cathedrals, are they the strongholds of those magicians, but they are covered up through magic and not allowed to be known to ordinary people?" Mikoto Misaka asked enthusiastically, her eyes full of curiosity for secrets.

"Uh, maybe!" Tang Shu blinked and responded vaguely. In fact, Mikoto Misaka's idea was true.

"Christianity, Orthodox Church, by the way, and the country next to the school city has more godly beliefs. There must be magicians?! Alas, what do they do usually do? What do they think of when they make such a secret?" Misaka Mikoto said curiously.

I talked with Tang Shu about magic and magician issues with Tang Shu for a while, but I knew too little information. After chatting for a while, I finally gave up on this topic and talked to Tang Shu about other things. After chatting for a while, Mikoto Misaka and Tang Shu directly used the back projection of the huge screen to play games. Well, these two people are very distinctive when they date, but these two people are very dedicated.

Until a ringtone of the mobile phone interrupted the game between the two, Mikoto Misaka picked up the phone and looked at it. A strange expression appeared on her face. She glanced at Tang Shu. It was obvious that the person who called her made her a little helpless. Tang Shu knew very well that the person who could make Mikoto Misaka show this must be her perverted schoolgirl, Kuroko Shirai. The friendship between this girl who crazyly admired Misaka Mikoto Misaka and Mikoto Misaka was very sincere. For Mikoto Misaka, who had few friends, she was happy to have more friends.
