Illimitable Until Death
Chapter 974: The Capable and the Mage
Magic Prohibited Bibliography.
This is a modern world.
In terms of age, that's around the twenty-first century.
For someone like Sylvia, who lives in a war-torn city and is accustomed to the science and technology of falling star engineering, there may not be anything surprising about the world.
But in fact, the world is not ordinary, and it is also mysterious.
There are three main camps in the world.
One: It has influenced the world in a variety of ways since a long time ago, with a magical camp of mysteries and miracles.
Second: Since recent times, the sense of existence has grown dramatically, generally unaware of the existence of magic, but a scientific camp of individuals capable of using superpowers has emerged.
Three: It is strongly influenced by both the scientific and magical camp, but does not particularly feel the unusual general population on both sides.
Each of the three camps has its own position.
With the exception of the general population, which is essentially affected only by both sides, the open and clandestine struggle between the scientific and magical camps is the subject of this world.
A magic camp gradually replaced by science.
Science camps that erode mysterious fields.
The two sides are perfectly capable of assuming half of the world's rights and engaging in terrible struggles in places unknown to the general public.
Of course, these are all fights underwater.
In the words of ordinary people, they simply do not know the existence of so-called magic. Instead, it is superpowers somewhat present, which is known to the world.
However, people with psychic abilities are not everywhere.
Almost all of them are concentrated in one place.
--" School City ".
It occupies one third of Tokyo, is located in the west of Tokyo, is part of Saitama and Kanagawa counties, and has a huge city of 2.3 million people.
As its name suggests, it is a student-dominated city.
Eighty percent of the urban population are students, the remaining two percent are also basically teachers and researchers, completely isolated from the outside world, with the world's most advanced technology for more than 20 to 30 years, and are representatives of the well-known scientific camp.
Here, all students are subject to the development of psychic abilities and are under the sole authority of an organization called the "omnibus council".
In order to prevent the leakage of technology and psychic abilities, the school city has very strict restrictions on the access of the population, so it is actually a China with the right to independence and cooperative organizations around the world.
Essentially, therefore, those with abilities can only be seen in the school city, while the outside world rarely sees superpowers, belonging only to those seen on television for the general population.
At this moment, Fang Li and Sylvia are located in the school city.
“Ding, ding, ding...”
The arrival sound and broadcast sound of the tram are implicitly noisy in the air.
“Horn honk honk honk...”
Vehicle horns hybridize.
By the road, a wind turbine, like a large windmill, spins slowly.
A robot, like a white cylinder, moves back and forth, sweeping the garbage on the ground, or following a fixed route, passing through here, as if on patrol.
In the face of such a scenario as the future world, a student in a school uniform seemed completely normal and said to have walked with a smile.
Fang Li and Sylvia walked on such a path.
And looking at those sweeping robots and guard robots, it's amazing.
“So it's like an analogue, right? ”
Sylvia said so.
“Even the roads have figurines, it's really luxurious. ”
In war cities, there is also a self-disciplined figure responsible for various chores.
But that's usually a sight to see in a six-college campus.
If it's on the street, shapes are still very rare.
That's why Sylvia would be surprised to see this.
Sylvia quickly understood the world in her own way after simply knowing what was going on.
“Simply put, a man of ability is a witch and a magician like me, born with a certain ability, and a magician is a Taoist like a dragon, who can make a variety of abilities in other ways, right? ”
This understanding is basically correct.
Only the details are corrected.
“Precisely speaking, a person with abilities is not born with abilities, but must undergo a psychic development course in a school city in order to develop abilities, and a person who is born with psychic abilities, otherwise known as protolithic stones, must undergo a course developed to acquire abilities. ”
The fundamental purpose of the campus city is to target students and develop supernatural abilities.
These developmental capabilities vary from person to person and are divided into categories, but are also classified into LVs (grades) based on their values, strengths, and applicability benchmarks.
LV.0 is incapacity, i.e. incapacity to measure or extremely weak performance.
Lv.1 is low capacity and can barely bend a spoon, which is hardly helpful to everyday life.
Lv.2 is heterogeneous and slightly more useful than Lv.1.
Lv.3 is a powerful ability that can be harnessed in everyday life and brings convenience.
LV.4 is a large capability that embodies the value of tactical hierarchy within the military.
LV.5 is a superpower with the power to stand alone against an army, with only seven people in the world, ranked according to their respective values and effects.
In the campus city, the majority of students are capable between Lv.0 and Lv.2, and even about 60 per cent are incapacitated.
So, as Sylvia said, the capable, like witches and magicians, are quite rare, are those who are born with a certain talent, and are born with a certain ability.
And in the campus city, regardless of their abilities, they take courses in developing their abilities.
Specifically, students' brains are developed with the aid of drugs, hypnosis, and various instruments, so that people's brains can derive their own personal realities, interfering with existing realities, influencing them, and eventually forming superpowers.
Therefore, those who are capable, like witches and magicians, can only use one particular ability.
And magicians use all sorts of magic through rituals and rituals, like Taoists, by consuming magic.
“It would have been. ”
On the way, Sylvia sighed and made a clear statement.
“In short, whether magicians or magicians, it's basically an experiment, right? ”
So Sylvia's face is clearly unpleasant.
