Science's Problems, Solved with Magic / The Master's Eyes Are Going Blind

Misaka Mikoto will be in great pain after learning the truth...

Yuxian's thoughts began to wander. All the information that Saten Ruiko had said was unrelated to Chaldea, and his idea of finding people through certain anomalies in Academy City had failed.

Academy City so big, finding someone is really not easy. If Aleister could help. Yuxian thought whimsically.

Despite not getting any useful information, Yuxian wasn't discouraged. He knew he had to take it one step at a time; rushing things wouldn't help.

Goodbye! Bye-bye!

Misaka Mikoto and her three companions said goodbye and left.

Before leaving, Yuxian exchanged contact information with them. Their first priority was to find a place to stay.

Yuxian and his group walked down the street again, and before long, Scathach finally returned.

"How is it? How is it?" Yuxian looked at Scathach with expectant eyes.

He knew Scathach must have gone to find Aleister; in Academy City, Aleister, the overseeing chairman, was someone he couldn't avoid no matter what.

Scathach tossed the item in her hand to Yuxian; it was something Aleister had given her before she left.

Yuxian opened it and found their identity documents and some authorization confirmation documents in Academy City.

Upon closer inspection, Yuxian discovered that his current privileges were far greater than usual; he could even freely use supercomputers like the Tree Diagram Designer.

It seems that Master and Aleister's meeting was a great success!

"Didn't Aleister say anything?" Yuxian was skeptical that Aleister would be so easy to talk to.

Scathach calmly said, "He doesn't have time to deal with you right now, so you can do whatever you want."

Aleister really doesn't have Yuxian to care what Yu Xian is doing right now. In fact, as long as he doesn't mess with his precious Touma Kamijou Touma, Aleister won't care at all what Yu Yuxian are doing.

Chapter 4, Section 177: Scientific Problems Solved with True Magic

With the documents provided by Aleister, Yuxian and his companions easily found a place to stay.

In Academy City, 80% of the people are students, and they all have student dormitories to live in. The remaining staff do not have many places to live.

Without proper identification, it would be quite difficult for Yuxian and his group to find a place to stay.

With a place to stay, Yuxian Xian wasn't in a hurry anymore. She decided to get a good night's rest before taking the children out for a stroll the next day.

This time, only Mash and the children came; the others didn't come along, probably because they felt it would be safer here.

In reality, Academy City is not safe at all, with various incidents occurring frequently. However, it is understandable that some violent incidents would occur in such a large city.

"Where should we go today?" Yuxian stroked his chin, pondering.

Academy City is very large, and the various school districts are widely distributed, making it unrealistic to visit them all at once, and neither do people have the Yuxian or energy for it.

Wandering aimlessly through the streets, the children didn't seem to mind at all; they always found their own fun, skipping and hopping as they walked and talked.

"How about we go hang out at the 177th branch of the Disciplinary Committee?" Yuxian thought for a moment. He didn't really have any familiar places in Academy City, so it might be more interesting to go and see some acquaintances.

They were not far from the 177th branch of the Disciplinary Committee, Yuxian found them with a little searching.

They led a large group of children inside, only to find that there was hardly anyone there.

"Oh, it's you all. Come in and have a seat." Only Uiharu Kazari was in the office. She greeted the children cheerfully when she saw them.

"It's the older sister with flowers growing on her head."

"Sorry to bother you, we were just passing by and came in to say hello," Yuxian said somewhat apologetically.

"It's alright." Uiharu Kazari was very patient and gentle; she was naturally very considerate.

Yuxian noticed that several computer screens in front of her were open, as if she was busy with something.

He asked, "Are you busy with work?"

"They were arresting a criminal, and she drew Uiharu Kazari's eyebrows into two thick black lines..." Uiharu Kazari couldn't help but laugh when she thought of Saten Ruiko's eyebrows.

"Then you go ahead and do your work, we'll just sit here for a while."

"It's alright, they've been caught, and Shirai and the others will be back soon." Uiharu Kazari warmly poured tea for everyone.

"Have they caught him already? The Disciplinary Committee is really efficient." Yuxian casually praised him, without asking any further questions.

Sure enough, Saten Ruiko, Shirai Kuroko, and Misaka Mikoto soon returned to the 177th branch office.

They pushed open the door and found Yuxian and the children in the office. They were a little surprised, as they had just met yesterday and could not forget each other. They went up and greeted them.

Yuxian looked at Saten Ruiko's face and indeed saw two thick, dark eyebrows, quite like Rock Lee's.

He was a cultured man, after all, and didn't laugh, but the others were different.

Gretel and Jack were already rolling around on the sofa, clutching their bellies, their giggling laughter like a heavy hammer blow to Saten Ruiko's heart.

She said angrily, "I should have covered her face with makeup!"

Saten Ruiko refers to Shibai Minori, who drew her eyebrows like that.

"Uiharu Kazari, the pen she's using is a newly developed technological product; it won't be washable for a week." Uiharu Kazari a fatal blow to Saten Ruiko.

She became completely listless, muttering, "One week... one week..."

Seeing that Saten Ruiko was in great pain, Illya went up to comfort her and said, "Perhaps I can help you get rid of it."

"Real!!!"

As if hearing heavenly music, Saten Ruiko strode to Illya's side, grasped Illya's right hand tightly with both hands, and stared at Illya with exceptionally bright eyes.

Illya was a little overwhelmed by Saten Ruiko's enthusiasm, but she still nodded reluctantly. "I'll give it a try..."

"Uh-huh!"

Saten Ruiko nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice. At this moment, she was determined to try, no matter how small the chance was. She felt she would definitely die if she had to live with those two thick eyebrows for a week.

"Uiharu Kazari, how can she help you if you don't let go!" Uiharu Kazari couldn't stand it anymore and reminded Saten Ruiko to be mindful of her image.

"Yes, yes!"

Saten Ruiko immediately let go of her hand, but her eyes remained fixed on Illya.

Illya withdrew her hand before taking out the Ruby Wand.

She asked, "Ruby, you have a way, don't you?"

Ruby: Of course there is a way, but...

The Ruby floated in front of Illya, its tone suggesting it was beginning to bargain.

Illya had kept it hidden for so long, which made it feel wronged. It never had the chance to participate in any events and missed out on many fun things.

Illya blinked, then suddenly shouted in Mash's direction, "Fou, bite it!"

"Fu!—"

Upon hearing this, Fou leaped forward, her figure flashing past Illya, and snatched the unsuspecting Ruby into her mouth.

Ruby: Ah! — It's going to shatter! It's going to shatter! Illya, help! —

Illya's face hardened, and she said, "So, are you going to listen to me or not?!"

Ruby: Obey me! Obey me! Absolutely obey Illya's orders!

Ruby immediately began to beg for mercy, and only then did Illya take it out of Fou's mouth.

This farce seemed quite ordinary to Yuxian, but the four people in the office, including Misaka Mikoto, were very curious.

They weren't surprised by Fou's kitten-like pet, since pets were common in Academy City.

However, items like Ruby that can talk and are clearly intelligent are rare.

In the center of a ring is a star-shaped gem, with white wings on both sides, making it look very cute.

"What is this?" Shirai Kuroko reached out to grab the Ruby.

Ruby flew behind Illya and hid, a little afraid of being abused again.

"It's Ruby," Illya said, taking the Ruby from behind her back and showing it to them.

"Ruby? Is it a newly developed technological product?"

Illya explained, "No, it's Jewel Staff made by the master craftsman."

"Wand?" This term puzzled them even more. As a science-oriented Academy City, they had always known very little about the True Magic world, let alone high-end items like Ruby Wand.

"Because Illya is Magical Girl!" Illya said proudly. "By the way, Kuro is also Magical Girl; she's my sister."

Kuro interrupted Illya with displeasure, "I'm the older sister!"

Chapter 5, Section 178: The Master's Eyes Are Going Blind

What is Magical Girl?

Despite Illya's confident and forceful words, Misaka Mikoto and the others still couldn't understand what she was saying.

"Magical Girl are..."

Illya tried to find the words to describe it, but it was a bit too difficult for her, given her fifth-grade level.

She was anxious, but the more anxious she became, the less she could think of what to say.

"It's... it's..."

That's it!

After saying that, Illya grabbed the Ruby Wand and completed a magnificent transformation.

Wow!

This sudden change left Misaka Mikoto and the others completely dumbfounded, utterly bewildered by the underlying principle.

"Alright, alright, this is Academy City, it's normal that they don't understand True Magic and stuff. Illya, you should hurry up and help Uiharu Kazari solve her problem."

Yuxian didn't let Illya continue. Talking about True Magic with these science elites was basically like talking to a brick wall; there was no way they could make anything clear.

Upon hearing Yuxian's words, Illya stopped dwelling on the issue, deactivated her transformation, and returned to her original state.

"Ruby, please help this lady change her eyebrows back."

Ruby: OK!

This time it didn't say anything more, still vivid in its mind the experience of being almost bitten to pieces by Fou.

It slowly approached Saten Ruiko and gently tapped her eyebrow with one of its wings.

The two thick, dark eyebrows slowly faded and returned to their normal color.

Scientific problems are solved by True Magic; that's so Chaldea.

"She really disappeared!" The others surrounded Saten Ruiko, examining her closely.

I was very curious and surprised by this novel solution.

"Really? There's really none left?"

Saten Ruiko quickly found a mirror and kept looking at her eyebrows from left to right, and found that they had really recovered.

She jumped up with joy, hugged Illya tightly, and screamed.

"Thank you, Illya!"

Seeing Saten Ruiko's overwhelming excitement, Illya smiled somewhat shyly and said, "It's... it's okay!"

"Oh! By the way, I'll treat you to cake. This cake was bought from the Academy Garden today."

As she spoke, Saten Ruiko took out a small box of cakes, which she had bought to enjoy slowly by herself. Now, to Illya for her help, she quickly took it out.

The cake was a little small, only enough for each of the six children, so the others didn't participate in sharing.

With the matter resolved and the cake finished, Yuxian, having spent a considerable amount of time in the 177th branch, decided to say goodbye.

This time, Misaka Mikoto and her friends said goodbye even more enthusiastically than before, and invited each other to continue shopping and eating together in the future.
