Having read through Aureolus Izzard's vast and chaotic memories, Zhang Qi slowly withdrew the hand he had placed atop his head.
He felt no sympathy for the magician named Aureolus.
No matter how lamentable his original intentions might have been, they could not justify using over three thousand innocent students as "biological batteries," wantonly draining their life force and mental energy.
This behavior—treating others as tools and trampling over them at will to fulfill one's personal desires—was what Zhang Qi despised most.
The grand magic of "Golden Alchemy (Ars Magna)" from those memories was indeed exquisitely ingenious.
By gathering everyone's mental power and computational ability, it twisted the laws of physics within a limited barrier, achieving an "omnipotent" state where one's words became reality.
It gave Zhang Qi a strange sense of déjà vu.
Stripped of its occult shell, its core principle was remarkably similar to what Academy City was doing—
Zhang Qi's gaze pierced through the walls, looking toward the windowless building in the deepest part of Academy City.
He did not linger there. Instead, he moved through the building, dismantling the invisible barrier that had enveloped the entire Misawa Cram School building.
As the barrier shattered, the clamor of the city outside instantly flooded in, breaking the previous deathly silence.
The isolated time and space reconnected with the world. The unconscious students let out pained groans one after another, gradually awakening from their nightmares.
Their wounds had stopped bleeding once the spell was lifted, but the mental exhaustion and tearing sensation caused by having magical knowledge forcibly implanted into them would be enough to leave them seriously ill.
Zhang Qi made two calls.
One was to Anti-Skill, where he briefly reported the large-scale illegal detention and assault that had taken place here.
The other was to the hospital.
