The answer before Chinatsu was actually quite clear. She could completely distance herself from Kamijou Touma, and she believed Kanzaki Kaori would definitely stop because of that.
But Chinatsu was not prepared to do so. On one hand, staying out of it was not her personality; on the other hand, she didn't want to miss such an opportunity to spar with an expert from the Magic Side.
Although she thought this in her heart, in reality, she had to adopt a more appropriate expression and posture.
"Judging by what you said, the injuries on the girl lying at the teacher's house were caused by you, right? Compared to people like you, I think it's fine for me to side with the boy who saved the girl."
Hearing Chinatsu's words, a trace of indescribable sorrow appeared on Kanzaki Kaori's face. The injuries on Index were indeed caused by her, but she hadn't done it intentionally.
She had originally just wanted to warn the fleeing Index. If the defensive effect of Index's nun's habit had still been active, Index would definitely not have been injured.
However, this nun's habit with defensive effects had previously been destroyed by Kamijou Touma's right hand. Kanzaki Kaori did not know that what she was wearing at the time was just ordinary sewn-up clothing, and her attack landed mercilessly on Index.
Watching Index get hit by her attack and collapse in a pool of blood, her pupils trembled as if experiencing an earthquake. She could not describe that pain in words at all.
Kanzaki Kaori pursed her lips, her face darkened, and at the same time, the force with which she gripped the Order Sword in her hand increased slightly.
"Then there is no other way. I can only choose to make you change your mind with my strength!"
As Kanzaki Kaori murmured, she slightly drew the sheath of the Order Sword in her hand. Seven thin yet extremely tough and sharp wires sprang out from the scabbard.
[Seven Flashes]
Kanzaki Kaori manipulated these seven wires at an astonishing speed. The air currents they stirred up cut through the air, forming slashes that instantly assaulted Chinatsu with the momentum to easily slice through everything in front of her as if it were clay.
Bang!!!
The spot where Chinatsu had been was instantly shattered into countless clods of earth that splattered upward. The astonishing speed of the attack solidly demonstrated the three words "numerical beauty."
And if not for the fact that Academy City was a place where commotion was not uncommon, the roaring explosion caused by this strike would definitely have been extremely eye-catching.
Kanzaki Kaori frowned and stared ahead. Because the incident happened suddenly, she hadn't even had time to use the Rune of Idol Theory, so she could only choose to resolve the issue quickly and put an end to the matter.
However...
"So it's the sixth one, huh?"
Kanzaki Kaori murmured softly. Relying on her superior physical fitness, things that ordinary people could not see or hear were not difficult for her.
As the dust raised by the rubble shattered by the slashes dissipated, Chinatsu was seen standing in place, completely unharmed. The stones that had been shattered by the slashes were hovering around her, interfered with by gravity.
Chinatsu exhaled faintly. After gently shaking her hand, these stones hovering in the air fell to the ground one by one, making crisp sounds.
At the same time, one after another, gravity balls formed by compressing gravity inward appeared beside her, eager to try like floating cannons.
"Since you also know that I am an Esper, then you should also understand that if you want to defeat me, you won't be able to do it without bringing out some real skill..."
