Yuzhen turned his head and saw an ordinary-looking boy with spiky hair and an unlucky expression running toward him.
"Hm? Do you need help with something, classmate?"
After offering the unlucky-looking, spiky-haired boy a polite smile, Yuzhen's gaze lightly drifted over the other boy's right hand.
Spiky hair, an unlucky face, and fluctuations from his right hand that erased all supernatural powers around it...
It was him—the protagonist of A Certain Magical Index, Touma Kamijo, known as the Imagine Breaker!
When he saw Touma Kamijo encounter him here, Yuzhen chuckled inwardly. Aleister Crowley arranged for me to meet Touma Kamijo on just the second day... Has he included me in one of his plans?
Yuzhen had no way of knowing the answer for the time being, but since their objectives differed, he did not particularly care how Aleister Crowley intended to arrange him.
Instead, he felt that this push would be highly beneficial to him.
The first to get close to the water got the moon first. If he established contact with Touma Kamijo now and became familiar with him, then when Index arrived...
He would be able to directly extract her magical knowledge according to the situation.
"It's like this, classmate..."
While Yuzhen was thinking, Touma Kamijo awkwardly scratched his head with his right hand before saying, "Recently, there have been many Level 0s attacking espers in most of Academy City's back alleys."
"Many students have already been injured and hospitalized on their way to school... So I wanted to remind you that unless necessary, it's better not to take those alleys."
Yuzhen smiled faintly. "I see. Thank you for the warning, classmate. My name is Yuzhen. May I ask yours?"
Yuzhen was not surprised that Touma Kamijo had warned him about the danger of passing through the alleys.
