"Hiko-Sama, the debris on the subway line have been cleared," One of the Anti-Skill officers said. "What should we do next?"
"You don't need to do anything, once you have finished cleaning the subway tunnel, that means all of your duties in this place are finished," Hiko said who was wearing the typical clothes he usually wore when he was going to fight. "Because the perpetrator who collapsed this subway tunnel was not a terrorist who hated Espers, but someone who came from the opposite side of the Espers in Academy City. And according to my agreement with Heaven Canceller, all matters related to parties opposing the science side will be handled by me."
The Anti-Skills nodded their heads and left Hiko in the subway tunnel alone. It is common knowledge and an absolute rule for Anti-Skills that if there is a problem that is not related to Espers, then that problem will be taken care of by Touma or Hiko.
Although there were some recalcitrant Anti-Skills who didn't want to obey that rule and lost their lives dealing with wizards who entered Academy City. And an example of a recalcitrant Anti-Skill member is one of the teachers from Touma's school who has too high a sense of justice, so Touma has to use his ability to erase his teacher's memory every time his teacher has dealings with wizards.
Hiko sensed the remaining magic energy in the underground train tunnel, and he even destroyed one of Sherry's golems that had been left there to monitor the situation.
"Yep, as rumored, Sherry Cromwell is indeed a golem user, plus she can cover up the traces she leaves very well," Hiko said who could guess exactly where Sherry had gone just based on the remaining magic energy left behind by Sherry. "She even used a special method that could make a pychometer unable to trace her footsteps. But she forgot to remove the remaining magic energy that appeared after she used her magic plus she carelessly left her golem in this place, she's really stupid."
Hiko is currently right in front of one of the side walls of the underground train tunnel that was destroyed by Sherry that she restored again so that no one can find out where she went.
But unfortunately Hiko could easily find irregularities in the wall that was destroyed and restored by Sherry. So Hiko without hesitation immediately slashed the wall using his katana to cut the two meter thick wall and he was able to find the tunnel made by Sherry.
"What is that girl really after?" Hiko said who was confused by the long tunnel made by Sherry. "In what way does she want to trigger a war between Academy City and the magician?"
Hiko knows that Sherry Cromwell was part of a failed experiment on the part of a magician go create a hybrid of wizards and Espers. And because of the death of her friend made Sherry hate magicians and Espers.
"Does she also want to kidnap Himeragi Yukina who is the perfect prototype between an Esper and a magician?" Hiko said. "Sigh, enemies with unclear goals always make me feel annoyed. I'd better now use Kagebunshin to investigate where the end of this tunnel is, then spread my Nen to cover the entire Academy City area, so I can track Sherry Cromwell's whereabouts."
Hiko made a kagebunshin to investigate where the end of the tunnel that Sherry made was, then he closed the wall he cut using earth element ninjutsu and he walked to the station where Kotori was waiting for him.
***
Sherry Cromwell has spread her golems throughout Academy City and what she needs to do now is wait for the right time to activate the golems and the magic energy that has been solidified and then turned into powder will spread throughout Academy City which will.
Causing all the Espers in Academy City to die, even if the Espers were Level five Espers.
Sherry is currently looking towards one of the classes in Tokiwadai, through her golem. And in that class there is Himeragi Yukina who is the only hybrid of Esper and magician that has been successfully created.
(Motoharu is not considered as a hybrid by Sherry because even though Motoharu can use magic and not die thanks to the auto rebirth he has, Motoharu is still a failed example because he cannot use magic and Esper abilities at the same time like Yukina.)
"I never thought that in a small island country in East Asia I could find a perfect hybrid between an Esper and a magic user, the lion king organization could achieve results that magic user from Europe could not achieve. They definitely have a method that can make them successful in uniting Espers and magicians," Sherry said who looked happy because she was able to find Yukina, who was one of her goals in coming to Academy City. "As long as I can get a blood sample from that girl, then you could say that one of my goals in coming to Academy City has been achieved and I myself can become a hybrid Esper wizard like I promised to her!"
Sherry immediately activated another of her golems and activated the golem to fly and go to Tokiwadai to take Yukina's blood sample.
So she can fulfill her promise to her friend who died as a result of the hybrid Esper witch experiment.
***
Inside the district seven subway station which is currently closed due to the destruction of the subway tunnel. Itsuka Kotori or rather Kamijou Kotori was waiting for her grandfather to come out of the subway tunnel.
She wasn't worried at all about her grandfather Hiko Seijuro's condition, because Kotori knew that her grandfather was the strongest person in the world.
And there was no one who could beat her grandfather in Academy City, what annoyed Kotori was because Hiko had been in the subway tunnel for too long. The Anti-Skill members came out five minutes ago but until now Hiko still hasn't come out. For Kotori who hated being told to wait, five minutes was a very long time.
One minute later Hiko appeared from the train tunnel, walking slowly. And Kotori, who saw Hiko, felt relieved, because finally she didn't have to wait any longer.
"Grandpa! what making you go for so long!" .Shouted Kotori. "Actually, what were you doing in that tunnel that made me have to wait more than twenty minutes!"
"The ruins in the tunnel are quite far away so it took a while to walk to that place," Hiko said as he approached Kotori and then rubbed Kotori's head. "And since my business at that place is finished, I want you to report to Anti-Skill that the tunnel can be used again."
Kotori nodded her head then she started calling Anti-Skill headquarters while Hiko started spreading his Nen throughout Academy City to track down Sherry's. Hiko's nen spreads like a dome throughout Academy City and apart from Hiko, only Touma can feel the presence of Hiko's Nen, because Hiko modified his Nen so that no Esper or magician can feel his Nen.
