"The flaw of the artificial ability?"

"The flaw, in terms of performance, is that it is too single."

Kihara Gensei walked up to Shokuhou Misaki.

"As for the lack of people with artificial abilities, Ms. Mind Control should have the most experience."

"Although the ability is powerful, once you encounter an unmanned machine, a beast without intelligence, or when you are alone, will your weakness be infinitely magnified?"

Shokuhou Misaki answered with a half-smile.

"That's right, that's right. Although we can use the power of science and technology to further make up for this deficiency, such as letting people who lack physical strength drive a drive armor to fight, and those who lack mental power wear amulets, etc... But a flaw is a flaw, and even the smallest flaw, over time, can become an Achilles’ heel.”

"Like, like Murphy's Theorem? As long as it's bad, will it happen even if the probability is small?"

"You are right about the Gospel of Fantasy. The defect of artificial ability users is that the external manifestation is too single, but in fact there is another layer inside, which is the uncontrollability of 'personal reality'."

Can not control?

This should be a feature, artificial ability users are blooming in a hundred flowers, the number and types are so great that even the combination of ability user factions in the world can't compare.

"That's right, it's uncontrollability. Just like the cat locked in a cage by Schrödinger, we will never know what the 'personal reality' of the next artificially capable person will be, and how much potential for future development. It's all unknown."

Kihara Gensei turned around, faced Kamijou, and opened his narrowed eyes.

"Fantasy Gospel, do you know what that means?"

"...A hundred flowers bloom with artificial abilities?"

"Wrong, it's too much chaos." Kihara Huansheng continued: "The artificial ability user may now rely on Accelerator and be recognized by other abilities. But after she is gone, where should we find the next Accelerator?" Woolen cloth?"

"Forehead......"

"Instead of leaving the future of Academy City to God's dice, I prefer to use existing methods to help people with artificial abilities find a new way out."

Kihara Gensei led a few people towards the wall where Kamijou first felt a lot of energy behind it.

He stretched out his right hand covered with age spots, stuck it on the fingerprint authenticator, and opened the blocked door.

The truth inside was revealed—it was a huge space that far exceeded the volume of the research institute itself.

"Fantasy Gospel, let me ask you... If artificial ability users can be compatible with any faction's cultivation system like magical girls, what will the future of artificial ability users be like?"

Chapter 50. Kamijou's True Potential

It has to be said that the Administration of Capable Persons is excellent in utilizing 'space'.

This is true from Gao Tianyuan to the laboratory in front of him.

Various instruments are placed in a huge space with a length and height of more than 50 meters.A few are instruments used to develop superpowers and detect the body, but more are power furnaces that emit different types of energy.

"This, these are power furnaces?"

Kamijou felt it carefully, and there were actually hundreds of different types of power furnaces in this testing ground.

Although there are quite a few branches and subspecies of the same type of energy, the key is how do they preserve such different attributes of power?

Not all powers are so smooth, and some of them will blow up like nitroglycerin if they are not handled well.

Even in comparison, nitroglycerin is relatively stable.

"Thanks to Kihara Molecule's thesis, different kinds of 'energy' can be preserved through the power furnace," Kihara Kagun explained on behalf of Kamijou: "Although I don't like that guy, but his research on materials and energy Dealing with it is still somewhat useful.”

Although it felt like he was saying 'I don't like his skills', Kamijou vaguely felt that Kihara Kagun hated Kihara himself.

"Is Kihara Kagun a misfit? Also, why are there so many people with the surname Kihara?"

Kamijou questioned Teresa beside him with his consciousness.

Teresa shook her head.

"I don't know what is going on with Kihara Kagun... But, the Kihara clan is a well-known group of scientists in Academy City. Although they are all called Kihara, they are not necessarily related by blood~"

"That's it."

While answering Teresa in his heart, Kamijou followed Kihara Gensei into the room.

"Although artificial ability users are not compatible with traditional ability users, especially the conflict with the 'magician' system is extremely serious. But we still believe that in the distant future, artificial ability users can also be compatible with all systems like magical girls. "

Although it sounds a bit like the fanaticism of science admirers, what Gensei Kihara said does make sense.

Compared with other factions, artificial ability users are still too innately deficient.

However, after all, it has only appeared for less than 20 years, and there should be a lot of room for improvement in the future.

"Of course, old man, I also understand that it's not enough to just say nothing. I do have the idea of ​​deceiving you, no, into the artificial ability system, but I also understand that no one is willing to give up the power they already have. Go after the 'artificial abilities' with high uncertainty. So, old man, I still have to get some dry goods out."

Ah, you said it!Your goal is really me!

Kamijou gave an awkward yet polite smile.

Kihara Gensei continued.

"First of all, I heard that you and Mami-san are good friends. Then, do you know why magical girls can adapt to all ability systems after retiring, even though they use 'magic' in active service?"

"Well, it should be related to the soul core."

Kamijou stroked his chin and thought for a while.

"I've read in books that magical girls before transformation have no power. Therefore, the source of their power is 'transformation', not themselves. In other words, the real source of power is the 'soul stone', the magic power It just flows through the body, instead of producing magic power by refining life force like ordinary magicians. Therefore, no matter how good the aptitude is, the body of a magical girl is still 'pure and flawless'."

"Very good answer!!!"

Kihara Gensei applauded.

"Although the answer is very unprofessional, it is basically the same! Yes, the most important point of the reason why magical girls are compatible with all systems is that they are only users of 'magic power', not 'producers'. Therefore, they There is no 'circuit' formed in the body."

"Circuit?"

"It's just that I'm more used to calling it that way. There are also scientists and magicians who call it 'energy adaptability', or 'soul attribute solidification' and the like. Different factions have their own different explanations, but they all have the same meaning—— Once you get used to one force, you can't get used to the opposite."

Kihara Gensei said.

It's the so-called 'attribute', but it's not just the mutual generation and mutual restraint of 'holy light overcomes darkness', 'water overcomes fire', 'earth overcomes water' like in computer games.

Rather, it is a conceptual incompatibility.

For example, the monotheism of Christianity and the polytheism of polytheism are natural conflicts.Or the natural restraint of spiritual power and demon power.

Of course, these are not bad, just pure incompatibility.If the conflict is fierce, for example, an ability user who used the pure Wojiao method to cultivate before suddenly one day slapped his head and went to the Christianity to become an orthodox magician.

Most of the time when the magic power is refined, it will collapse or even be torn apart because of the incompatibility of the teachings.

"The most important reason why people with artificial abilities cannot be compatible with the power of other factions is that people with artificial abilities use a special 'circuit' when transforming their brains. Therefore, they cannot be compatible with the power of other attributes. However, this is not impossible A difficult problem to break through...like."

Kihara Gensei looked at Kamijou.

"Although she is not a magical girl, she is a fantasy Gospel Lord who also relies on transformation to gain power."

".....I?"

Looking around, Kamijou realized that what Kihara Gensei was talking about was indeed him.

"I'm just an ordinary A-level ability user, nothing special."

Ling Ke and Teresa rolled their eyes together, A-level ability users are not ordinary, let alone you are such a weird A-level from head to toe.

"No, no, no, you underestimate your value too much, imagining the gospel!"

Kihara Gensei approached Kamijou step by step, and when he walked in front of him, he even opened his eyes that were not dim at all, contrary to the aging appearance.

"From the day you officially became an A-level ability user, we began to observe you. Different transformations bring abilities that have never been seen before, and according to your medical examination report, you are almost like a magical girl, driving powerful At the same time, there is no trace of pollution... Moreover, your potential should be more than that."

"My potential?"

Isn't Kamijou's potential being possessed by someone and then used as a tool to carry power?

Or, is the talent that can sense various abilities considered potential?

"Would you like to verify it? I have had this idea since a long time ago."

Kihara Gensei nodded with his hands behind his back, and said slowly.

"How about doing a little experiment with the old man?"

Chapter 51, 'Small' experiment - on (bad experience)

Due to historical reasons, the "loop" that Kihara Gensei said has different names in different factions.

Just like potatoes, they are called 'sweet potatoes' in some places, and 'yam eggs' in some places.It was all because before the establishment of the Administration of Capable Persons, the factions were too divided.

But whether it's the "religious barrier" in the mouth of the Christian magician, the "energy adaptability" in the mouth of the golden magician, or the "solidification of soul attributes" in the mouth of the spiritual power users represented by the Eastern Onmyoji school.

In fact, it's all about one thing.

Ability users born under different religions and mythological systems have difficulty in compatible power attributes.

Not to mention the "big difference" between the Eastern system and the Western system, it is only the magic formula of the British Puritanism. If it is copied mechanically, it will be used by the magicians of the Roman Orthodox Church without modification, and the probability of mistakes will occur. will be greatly improved.

You must know that the split between Roman Orthodox Church and British Puritanism was only more than 400 years ago.

Maybe people who live on the science side can’t understand, so let’s give a simple and easy-to-understand example.

A senior high school student who chooses liberal arts suddenly asks to do the final exam paper for science students. What will happen?

This is the cause of the barrier of 'energy', the 'division' and 'conflict' caused by conflicts of division, culture, land, etc.

It is not surprising that the forces generated by 'religion', 'culture' and 'belief' will be incompatible or even 'violent conflict'.

Kamijou Touma was brought to an instrument by Kihara Gensei.

It was a huge square table, so big that the whole person could lie down on it.

As for why I said lying down, because Kamijou saw something like handcuffs on the table...

"Please come up."

Kihara Gensei made a gesture of invitation, but Kamijou shook his head frantically.

That is the restraint platform!He has seen similar things in movies and books not once or twice!

"What are you going to do to me?!!"

"Just a small experiment."

"Is the restraint table needed for the small experiment?"

This old man Kihara Gensei is absolutely abnormal!Coupled with Accelerator and Kihara Kagun's disgust towards him, Kamijou's vigilance increased rapidly!

however.

"It's okay, you go. It's just a matter of time to see what Kihara Gensei is going to do."

Shokuhou Misaki's voice rang directly in his head.

"??"

Kamijou opened his eyes wide and looked at Shokuhou Misaki.

The latter smiled sweetly.

Then Kamijou turned his attention to Suzuna and Kihara Kagun, Suzuko gave Kamijou a thumbs up, showed a big smile and said, "I will watch you from the side." The latter looked at him blankly. Looking at Kamijou, it was like looking at a corpse waiting to be dissected, Kamijou's hairs stood on end.

"Okay, okay. But if I don't feel right, I will definitely struggle! When the machine breaks down, don't blame me!"

Under Kihara Gensei's guidance, Kamijou lay down on the bed, his wrists and ankles were 'clicked' bound by metallic straps.

Then Kihara Gensei opened his eyes and gave a 'plan approved' smile.

"My lord, these two sets of restraint systems are quite strong. Even if they are pulled by a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, they won't deform easily."

"!!!!!!!!!"

"Children, you can start work!!!"

Kihara Gensei raised his hand and clapped his hands towards the empty room, and suddenly shouted.

Dozens of researchers and scientists jumped out of nowhere.

"Oh!!!!"

While shouting, like a big bad wolf seeing a little white rabbit, waiting to look at Kamijou with bloodshot eyes, the corners of the mouths of several female researchers were still drooling.

Kihara Gensei also explained.
