"Inticus was taken away?" Ito Sei frowned when he heard that. He looked at the final piece of work and repeated.
"Yes. Misaka Misaka nodded to confirm. "Last Work nodded to confirm that what he said was the truth.
"Today is September 8th … The Book of Magic incident …" Sei Itō muttered as he recalled the plot and time. However, he was not sure if it was really the case. After all, he was the current administrator, not Kamijou Touma in the original work. He also did not know if the person who kidnapped Inticus was Steele in the original work or some other magician who had designs on the 103,000 magic books. Therefore, Sei Itō asked Last Work again.
"Little Misaka, what did the person who took Inticus look like? Or did he leave anything behind? "
"The man who took the little nun away was a tall man in a black coat. He had red hair and a tattoo that looked like a barcode. He was a Southerner with a cigarette in his mouth. Misaka Misaka tried her best to gesture as she described to Ah Cheng in a serious manner.
"This is the envelope that the man asked me to give you. Misaka Misaka handed it to Ah Cheng, "Last Work said as he handed the leather envelope to Sei Itō.
"Looks like he's definitely Steele." Sei Itō thought as he took the envelope. Then, he tore open the envelope and poured out the contents.
In an instant, an approved exit permit and a note appeared in Sei Itō's hand.
"I'm waiting for you outside Academy City," the note said.
"What should we do? Misaka Misaka asked out of concern. "Last Work looked at Sei Itō and said.
"It's fine. I know the person who kidnapped Inticus. I'll go and bring her back now. " Sei Itō said as he crushed the note with his telekinesis and threw it into the trash can not far away.
"But before we go find Inticus, we need to find a guardian for you. I don't want to leave you alone in the dorm," Sei Itō said as he looked at Last Work.
"I can do it alone. Misaka Misaka Misaka will try his best. "
"No, it's too dangerous for you to stay at home alone. I don't want to worry." Sei Itō refused firmly.
"Oh. Misaka Misaka Misaka lowered her head dejectedly. She wanted to gain Ah Cheng's sympathy. "
"Let's go," Sei Itō said as he took off his white coat and put away the exit permit. He held Last Work's little hand. Then, he took her away from the Third Medical Hospital of a certain university and walked to Haruki Muyama's apartment. He temporarily handed the final work over to Haruki Muyama, who was currently idling at home. At the same time, he also told Kinuhata Saiai, Frenda, and Takitsubou Rikou, who were temporarily staying at Haru Miyama's apartment to protect Last Work. Then, he said goodbye to Haru Miyama and the others and took the tram to the southern gate of Academy City.
School District 7 was the second largest school district in Academy City, second only to school district 23. It was located in the southern part of Academy City. It was surrounded by school districts 1, 8, 5, 9, 18, 15, 22, 2, and 10. The closest exit to School District 7 was the southern gate of Academy City. He only needed to pass through school district 10 to reach it. So, after 40 minutes or so, Sei Itō finally arrived at the southern gate of Academy City.
Obviously, Steele had obtained the exit permit from the higher-ups of Academy City and handed it over to the guard. Then, he left Academy City without any hindrance and walked towards the location indicated on the note.
The reason why they had to walk was because for the sake of Academy City's safety, there weren't any commuter routes that led directly to Academy City's main entrance, so whether it was leaving Academy City or entering Academy City for various reasons, they would have to walk a long distance.
After walking like this for a while, Sei Itō met a young nun in front of a bus stop. Her entire body was wrapped in a pitch-black nun's habit, only her round white face was exposed.
"Ossola Aquina … It seems that although it took me some time to send Last Work to Haru Miyama's place, it's still not that much slower compared to the original work's walk back to the dormitory and the news from Tsuchimikado Takeshi." Sei Itō thought to himself as he looked at Ossola.
"Sorry." Just as Sei Itō was observing Ossola, Ossola suddenly turned around with her hands clasped in front of her as if she was praying. She spoke to Sei Itō in a very humble tone in Japanese. "I'm sorry to disturb your precious time, but if I want to go to Academy City, can I take this bus?"
"No, there's no bus to Academy City." Sei Itō glanced at Ossola's voluptuous breasts that were hidden under the nun's habit.
"Huh?" Ossola asked in confusion.
"Academy City is not connected to the public transportation system, so there's no way to get there by bus or tram. Only those who have signed a contract with Academy City can enter Academy City by bus." Sei Itō explained. "So, under normal circumstances, the only way to Academy City is to walk."
"I see, so that's why you're leaving Academy City by foot?" Ossola said with a look of realization.
At this time, a very shabby looking bus that had been in use for many years came from afar.
"In short, there's no way to get to Academy City by bus. If you have a permit, you can just walk to the entrance. It'll only take about seven to eight minutes. "Sei Itō reminded her.
"Thank you, thank you very much for taking time out of your busy schedule to guide me." Ossola bowed and thanked Sei Itō when she saw the bus. She then turned around and got on the bus without hesitation.
"Hey, didn't I just tell you that you can't take the bus? Why are you still getting on? "Sei Itō, who had finally seen how clueless Ossola was, said with a speechless look.
"Ah, yes, you're right." Ossola, who had just stepped on the first step, pinched the hem of her nun's habit and got off the bus.
"I just said that Academy City is not connected to the public transportation system, so there's no way to get there by bus or tram. If you want to enter Academy City, you can just walk to the entrance. Understand?" Sei Itō explained again.
"You did say that. I'm really sorry for troubling you so many times." Ossola nodded and thanked Sei Itō with a bitter smile. She then turned around and got on the bus without hesitation.
Sei Itō sighed helplessly when he saw this. He walked up to Ossola, hugged her waist from behind, and carried her off the bus. He then turned to the impatient driver and said, "I'm sorry, please drive away. She's not getting on the bus."
The driver didn't say anything. He pressed the button to close the door, started the engine, and drove away from the bus stop.
"Looks like you have something very serious on your mind." Sei Itō said to Ossola after he let her go.
"Ah? Ah, yes, a little. "Ossola was stunned when she heard that. She then nodded and admitted honestly.
"I think so too. Otherwise, you wouldn't have ignored my explanation twice and even wanted to get on the bus." Sei Itō curled his lips.
"I'm really sorry for the trouble." Ossola placed her hands on her lower abdomen and bowed to Sei Itō.
"Don't be like this. I didn't help you much." Sei Itō moved away from Ossola's bow. He then looked at Ossola who straightened her back and asked, "By the way, Ms. Nun, do you want to enter Academy City?"
Ossola nodded and admitted that she did want to enter Academy City.
"Do you have a pass issued by Academy City?" Sei Itō asked.
"Pass?" Ossola repeated with a confused look. She then asked Sei Itō, "Excuse me, how can I get a pass?"
"Normal people can't get it. Only the student's relatives and the people who transport goods and supplies can get it. Also, they have to be approved in advance." Sei Itō shook his head and explained.
"Oh … Then I can only give up." Ossola lowered her head and said dejectedly. Obviously, she didn't have to enter Academy City.
"So, why do you want to enter Academy City?" Sei Itō took the opportunity to ask.
"Uh … Actually, I'm being hunted down." Ossola didn't care if what she said was true or not. She was still very honest, or rather, she followed one of the doctrines she believed in and gave a straightforward answer.
"Hunted down?" Sei Itō repeated with a surprised look on his face.
"Yes, it's a bit complicated to explain, but I'm currently on a mad run for my life. I heard that the Church's forces can't enter Academy City, so I'm trying to hide inside Academy City" Ossola explained to herself.
"The Church? Don't tell me it has something to do with magicians? "Ito Sei changed the topic to magicians.
"Huh? How do you know about the existence of the Magicians? "Ossola looked at Sei Itō in surprise and asked.
"It seems like that's the case." Sei Itō sighed and continued, "But if you're really being hunted down, hiding in Academy City isn't necessarily safe. There are Magicians breaking into Academy City and causing trouble all day long."
"Then what should I do?" Ossola said with a sad expression, as if she was about to cry.
