Walking down the bustling streets, I casually bought a few street snacks that looked decent and started to walk towards the main stadium of the Great Star Festival opening ceremony, eating as I went.
Upon arriving at the stadium, it was already packed with densely packed students, and the opening ceremony had reached the final phase of the students taking an oath.
Pulling down his hat, George leaned against the corner and watched the opening ceremony while drinking his drink.
This time, the two of the seven fifth-level capable students, who are Xueba Junba and Shikaku Saki, represented the capable students in taking the oath.
Xueba Junba, according to his information, this is a natural ability user called "primitive stone," different from the other six.
Basically, all the students with special abilities in the school district are derived from the special ability system developed by Aresta and have gained special abilities.
But only the "Primordial Stone" ability users are born with their abilities inherent.
Compared to other ability users and mages, the "Primordial Stone" ability users are truly favored by this world. They can possess abilities far surpassing those of ordinary people without having to pay anything.
If placed in an ancient era where both abilities and magic have not yet appeared, they would be the true gods in human imagination.
And Shikaku Saki, the only spiritual ability user among the seven.
She can read minds, brainwash, erase memories, induce hallucinations, and communicate telepathically. She is a outstanding blonde young lady with her abilities.
At this moment, the two were standing on the high platform, representing the students to deliver a speech.
Initially, the content of their speeches was quite consistent, but halfway through, it seemed that Xueba Junba forgot his words and started to improvise.
The scene immediately became somewhat out of control.
Fortunately, despite Xueba Junba's somewhat middle-schooler-like behavior, his speech was not too inappropriate.
The host quickly took the microphone and began to announce the next competition.
"There are a total of eighteen events, divided into morning and afternoon sessions. We are now officially starting the first event, the Marble Slab competition!"
As the competition officially commenced, students from each school sat in the audience and entered the venue, creating many empty spaces.
"It's her!"
At this time, George also noticed someone.
It was the one he had a brief encounter with before, the girl who had a million and three grimoires stored in her mind, Entia.
He turned his eyes and walked towards her.
During this period, through Aresta's mouth, he learned a lot about the real secrets of the magic world indirectly.
Previously, he had planned to study magic in the libraries of various churches or learn magic from the memories of some magicians, but in reality, it was not very feasible.
Because the original sourcebooks of magic that can be learned are something that ordinary people cannot access. Only those who have been trained and grown up as magic users have the chance to approach them, and they are always guarded by very powerful magicians.
Even with his current strength, if there was a real confrontation, he would be surrounded and it would be difficult for him to escape.
With Aresta's formidable strength, he was seriously injured in the past and has been hiding his identity all this time.
Moreover, the ease with which he could access Shiru's memories last time was because it was in the school city where many magicians were not allowed to enter, and much of the surveillance was blocked.
If he were in the headquarters of the Church, it would not be as easy for him to succeed.
In the event of an accident or being discovered, his actions would definitely incur the wrath of the entire Church, and even the whole magical world, leading to pursuit and persecution.
Knowing all of this, he couldn't help but once again think about the idea of using Entia's brain to access the ten thousand and three grimoires.
Aresta could not completely trust him, so he would not give him all of the magic without any reservations. Especially some magic that are outside the modern magical systems.
If he wants to study the essence of this world's magic and advance to become a god of magic, he will still need to figure out how to obtain Entia's ten thousand and three grimoires.
He cannot break through the magical defense in Entia's brain at the moment, but it does not mean that he will not be able to do so in the future.
By the time he has completed his studies from Aresta and has mastered most of the magic in this world, forming his own magical system.
It might be that he could simply rely on his knowledge of magic to bypass the defense.
Before that, perhaps he could make friends and build a good relationship first.
"Hello, Entia."
"My stomach, so hungry."
Entia is lying down on her seat, with her three-color kitten sitting on her head, looking starved.
Hearing someone greet her, she slowly lifts her head:
"It's you, Kuroki. Are you the younger sister of the Kuroki?"
She originally thought it was Ochiai Mayu, but seeing that the person wasn't wearing school uniforms but instead dressed in male attire, she immediately remembered the guy who saved her last time and claimed to be her brother, Ochiai.
"Sister, is that how Ochiai Mayu introduces me?"
George didn't pay too much attention to it.
Entia nodded, and as she saw George holding various snacks, she stood up immediately with sparkling eyes, and her saliva was about to drip to the ground.
"Wow, you have so many snacks, can you give me some?"
"Of course."
Seeing this, George placed all the snacks in his hand on the chair in front of Entia.
"All for you to eat."
"You're a really good person, better than my sister!"
Entia immediately started to gobble up the snacks.
At this moment, George took the opportunity to gently touch Entia's nape with his hand and began to use his telepathic ability.
And in the next second, his hand was forcefully pushed away by a powerful force.
"It's really not working."
He thought that in order to forcibly break through Entia's brain defenses with telepathic abilities, he would need to reach the level of Professor X at his peak.
For the time being, he began to focus on the competition below the stage.
After a chaotic battle, only two students from the schools were still persisting on the field. One of them was from the school where Kouma Araragi was located.
Kouma Araragi himself is also participating in the competition.
"This guy, is he really a natural ability user of the 'Primordial Stone'?"
Watching Kouma Araragi in the competition, George's eyes narrowed slightly.
An Imaginary Killer who can make all magical and special abilities disappear is much more domineering than Ichirin's ability.
If he could obtain such abilities, then even if he encountered a single universe-level strong opponent who wasn't as physically strong as the Celestial Being Group, he wouldn't be afraid.
The question is whether this kind of ability called "Imaginary Killer" can be simulated with a similar effect through analysis.
But thinking about it, the likelihood is probably not high; if it could be done, Aresta would have already done so.
The special abilities of the Academy City are precisely what were developed by imitating the abilities of those who possess 'Primordial Stone' abilities.
If it could be done, Aresta would not fail to imitate abilities like those of Kouma Araragi.
"Here they come, the two mages have already entered the Academy City by car."
While George was thinking, a voice came from his earphone, it was Aresta's.
"Entia, I have a little more business to attend to, so I'll be leaving for now."
After hearing the voice, George greeted Entia, who was still stuffed with food in her mouth next to him.
Entia quickly swallowed her food and waved at George.
"Goodbye, the younger sister of Ochiai Mayu, next time I'll let Araragi take you to dinner!"
Due to family matters, there will be two updates today.
