We now officially begin the first match: the Pole-Pulling Contest!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the competition officially kicked off, students from various schools in the audience began moving to the field, leaving a lot of empty seats behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's her!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, George spotted someone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the girl he had previously encountered once—Index, the one with 103,000 grimoires stored in her mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His eyes lit up, and he walked over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During this time, he had been probing Aleister for more information and had uncovered quite a few secrets about the magic side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, he had planned to study magic by visiting libraries of major churches or extracting it from magicians' memories. But that idea wasn't very realistic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because grimoires—the real sources of magical knowledge—were kept out of reach for ordinary people. Only magicians raised from a young age could even come into contact with them, and they were heavily guarded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with his current strength, if a conflict broke out, it would be hard to escape after being swarmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aleister was unimaginably powerful and had still suffered serious injuries back in the day, forcing him to hide his identity ever since.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, the only reason he could so easily read Sherry's memories last time was because they were inside Academy City, where most magicians weren't allowed, and detection abilities were heavily restricted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it had been within church territory, things wouldn't have gone so smoothly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If anything unexpected happened and he was exposed, the entire Church—and even the entire magical world—would hunt him down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After realizing this, he couldn't help but shift his attention back to Index and the 103,000 grimoires in her mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aleister would never completely trust him, and therefore would never share all the magic he possessed—especially not the magic outside the modern system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If George wanted to truly understand the essence of magic in this world and ascend to the level of a Magic God, he had to find a way to access the grimoires inside Index's mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just because he couldn't crack the magical defenses in her brain now didn't mean he never would.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once he finished learning from Aleister and mastered most of the world's magic, forming his own complete system…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe he could unlock the defenses with just the right magical knowledge alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before that, perhaps he could start by becoming friends and building rapport.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello, Index.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So…hungry…\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Index lay sprawled across her seat, with her calico cat perched on her head, looking as if she was on the verge of starving to death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she heard someone greet her, she slowly lifted her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, it's you, Misaka… Are you Misaka's little sister?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had initially thought it was Misaka Mikoto, but seeing that the person wasn't in a school uniform and was dressed more like a boy, she instantly recalled the person who'd saved her last time—the one who called himself Misaka's big brother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Little sister? Is that how Misaka Mikoto introduced me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>George didn't really mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Index nodded eagerly, and the moment she saw the snacks George was holding, her eyes sparkled as she leapt up, practically drooling all over the floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wow, you've got so much food! Can I have a little?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her reaction, George placed all the snacks he was holding onto the seat in front of her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They're all yours.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're such a good person! Even better than your sister!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, Index began devouring the food like a starving beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While she was distracted, George took the opportunity to gently reach out and touch the back of her head, activating his psychic ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in the very next moment, his hand was forcefully repelled by an immense power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just as I thought—no good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He realized that to forcibly break through the magical defenses in Index's mind using psychic power alone, he would need to be at the peak level of someone like Professor X.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For now, he had to give up. His attention shifted to the competition taking place on the field below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a chaotic scuffle, only two schools still had students standing. One of them was the school where Kamijou Touma was enrolled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kamijou himself was currently participating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That guy… Could he really be a Gemstone?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Kamijou in action, George narrowed his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His \"Imagine Breaker,\" the ability to nullify all magic and esper powers, was even more overwhelming than Accelerator's.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If George could obtain such a power, then even against opponents on a universal scale—so long as they weren't physically overpowering like members of the Celestial Divine Order—he'd have nothing to fear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The question was whether the Imagine Breaker could be analyzed and reproduced to simulate a similar effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But thinking it through, the chances seemed slim. If it were possible, Aleister would've done it already.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Academy City's entire esper system was built by mimicking the abilities of Gemstones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If something like Kamijou's absurd power could be replicated, there's no way Aleister wouldn't have tried to copy it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They're here. The two magicians have entered Academy City by car.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As George was deep in thought, Aleister's voice came through his earpiece.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Index, I have something to take care of. I'll be going now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, George turned and spoke to Index, who was still stuffing her mouth full of food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Index quickly swallowed and waved at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bye-bye, Misaka Mikoto's little sister! Next time, I'll make Touma treat you to a meal!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1234,"2026-06-10T06:47:12.819Z",1,"novelbin.me","672bfbd024e87f8e1e671f12b3fad5416ff72bbb2aca4c1bbc32b51215621cd5","marvel-s-master-of-heavenly-magic-chapter-320","marvel-s-master-of-heavenly-magic-chapter-318",918,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmarvel-s-master-of-heavenly-magic-cover.jpg"]
