- However, he did not need to check. That strike had created hellish flames of 3000
- degrees Celsius. At temperatures higher than 2000 degrees Celsius, the human body
- would melt before it burned, so the boy likely looked something like the metal railing
- that had melted like a sugar sculpture. He was likely splattered across the dorm wall like
- a used piece of gum.
- Stiyl gave a sigh as he reflected on how right he had been to get the boy away from Index.
- Things would have been a bit more difficult if the boy had used Index’s injured form as a
- shield.
- But he could not retrieve Index as things were.
- Stiyl sighed again. The wall of flames blocked him from heading to the other end of the
- passageway where Index was. If there was another emergency staircase on the other side
- of the passageway, he could manage, but it would hardly be funny if Index got caught up
- in the flames while he took that detour.
- Stiyl shook his head in annoyance and spoke as he peered into the smoke one last time
- as if he could see through it.
- “Thank you, excellent work, and too bad. Well, at that level, you couldn’t win even if you
- had 1000 tries.”
- “Are you really so sure I can’t win no matter how many times I try?”
- For an instant, the magician froze in place at that voice coming from those hellish
- flames.
- With a roar, the wall of flames and smoke swirled and was blown away.
- It was as if a tornado had appeared in the center of the flames and smoke and blew
- them all away.
- Kamijou Touma stood there.
- The metal railing had been melted like a sugar sculpture, the paint on the floor and walls
- had peeled, and the fluorescent lights had melted and dripped down in the intense heat,
- but that boy had remained unharmed in the middle of those hellish flames and
- scorching heat.
- “Honestly, what was I so afraid of?” said Kamijou with the sides of his mouth twisted in
- disinterest. “This is the same right hand that destroyed Index’s Walking Church.”
- Kamijou truly did not understand anything about what was known as magic.
- He did not know how it worked or what was going on where he could not see. Most
- likely, he would only understand half of it if it was explained to him from start to finish.
- But there was one thing even an idiot like him knew.
- In the end, it was just a supernatural power.
- The crimson flames he had blown away had not been completely extinguished.
- In a perfect circle around Kamijou, the scorching flames continued to burn. But…
- “Out of the way.”
- With that one statement, Kamijou touched the 3000 degree magical flames with his
- right hand and the rest of the flames vanished.
