    Magic, or "modern magic", first appeared in Britain as recorded in historical records. Now Britain is the center of magic in the world. After all, the Clock Tower, the world's largest magic institution, is located there.  According to the Oxford Dictionary, which comes from this country that can be said to be magical, magic is "communicating with gods through spells, rituals, etc., and then controlling human life and natural phenomena."  ¡ª¡ªOf course, this explanation is actually just to confuse the people who don¡¯t know the truth. People with a little knowledge of magic will also sneer at it, because this explanation completely confuses magic and religion. Magicians have never recognized the existence of gods.  , otherwise the Holy See and the magicians would not have fought so many wars.  So, what exactly is magic?  To paraphrase the explanation from the Oxford Dictionary, magic is the phenomenon of communicating with the "source" through spells, gestures, rituals, potions, etc. to produce a certain effect.  The reason why it is called a phenomenon is because all magic is visible and tangible, and has certain principles. Although most of them cannot be explained by scientific principles, the principles of magic are also principles.  But then, the question arises. The simplest one is, since there are certain principles, why can only "certain people" use magic?  And with the development of science and technology, there are fewer and fewer such "specific people"?  Also, why do magicians keep their skills secret?  If in the Middle Ages, when almost everyone in the world believed in magic, those magicians established a magic regime and used the power of magic to rule the world, then the world would surely have taken a different path, right?  Legend has it that in ancient times there were many civilizations that reached a level that is simply unimaginable by modern people, such as the lost Mayan artifacts and the lost Mohist machinery. These were either destroyed by wars or by "inheritance barriers". But if this is the reason, why?  The clock tower and the church still have a nearly dominant position in the West - although "ordinary people" do not know this dominance at all.  According to some records, there were no magicians with superpowers in the past, or this was called "talent" at the time, but it is completely different now. "People with superpowers cannot use magic" has become a  Common sense, why is this?  In this regard, Jack had an intuition. If he could figure out this problem, he would have grasped the key to the matter.  Perhaps it is in line with the saying: What you think about every day, you dream about every night. When Jack devoted himself to the study of the relationship between superpowers and magic, on this day, he had a dream,  A dream that might answer his question.  He was still in his room, and when he opened his eyes, he was still lying on his bed, but Jack knew that this was probably a dream, at least not in the real world, because not only was the soft person who had been accompanying him missing,  Yu Wenxiang, there was a woman sitting on the sofa not far away.  With her long, fluttering golden hair and fluttering white gauze, she is, on the whole, a flamboyant, seemingly otherworldly beauty. It can be said that Jack, who has seen countless women, has never seen such a woman before, but his intuition  But he told him that he couldn't afford to offend this woman who was looking at him with curious eyes.  "Excuse me, Miss, what do you do for me?" Seeing that he was wearing his usual research clothes and there was nothing rude about it, Jack sat up and asked calmly.  "It seems that you are not surprised by my arrival?" the woman asked.  "Of course I'm surprised," Jack replied, "But surprise is still a surprise. Surprise can't make things better. Only calmness is the best way to solve problems." "That makes sense," the woman smiled and nodded, "That's it.  I don¡¯t know if you will remain calm when you hear what I¡¯m going to say next.¡± ¡°Then you¡¯d better stop talking,¡± Jack refused based on the principle of doing more than doing less.  "But I came here to ask you something. I know that if you want to get something, you have to give something, and in order to show my sincerity, I will tell you what you should give first." I ignored it at all.  When Jack refused, the woman said to herself, "I think you must have some guess about Aleister's true purpose of establishing Academy City, right?" "Indeed." Knowing that this woman was determined, she  Unable to resist, Jack could only choose to obey.  "Although I can't tell you the specifics, I can probably tell you that all of this is actually because of me." The woman said.  "Could it be thatyou are Aleister's lover?" Jack asked a rather romantic question.  "Of course not," the woman's tone was so decisive, "Aleister is a magician, a very qualified magician. What he pursues is just like the slogan he shouted when he founded Academy City,"  ?"To realize the true meaning of God in a mortal body", and this goal only appeared after he met me.  " "Don't tell me you are a god.  "Jack curled his lips slightly. "I am not a god, and I have not seen a god, but I am indeed not a human being," the woman replied easily, "If you use human words to describe me, I should be considered a  an angel.  " "If I understand correctly, it should be 'having the qualities of an angel, but not a real angel'. Is this what you mean?  "Jack asked. "If you understand it this way there is no problem," the woman smiled and nodded, "However, as a strong person on the scientific side, do you really believe in angels?  " "Before I see conclusive evidence, I will doubt everything, including both positive and negative answers.  Jack replied, "Also, when did I become a powerful person on the science side?"  " "The Anderson Group is a group of superpowers with Dr. Jack Anderson as the core. There are many LV5s among them, and their power has exceeded that of Academy City on the surface.  ¡¯, I think if the identities of the previous blockers were revealed, there would definitely be one more definition like this in the world.  "The woman said in a somewhat mischievous tone, "Actually, this is what interests me the most. The method you use to induce superpowers here is completely different from the methods commonly used in Academy City, but the effect is generally good.  And why?  " "Again, this just allows them to find their true selves, or find their roots Wait, the roots?  "Speaking of this, Jack suddenly thought of something. Seeing Jack's appearance, the woman did not speak, but waited quietly. "If this guess is correct, then in fact, superpowers and magic are basically similar but different things.  One uses its own power, the other uses the power of the outside world, and the church's 'magic' tends to be somewhere in between.  "After a long time, Jack murmured, "But this still doesn't seem to explain why people with super powers can't use magic.  " "Or, you need some samples.  "The woman suddenly interjected. "Oh, sorry, I'm rude.  Jack, who was awakened by the woman's voice, smiled apologetically and continued: "I am a scientist, but I am not the kind of person who is desperate for my own research, so I'd better take my time."  " "Well, it's your choice.  The woman didn't say much about this, and she continued: "I have paid my price now, so can you answer my question?"  " "Please tell me.  "Jack's expression returned to calm again. "Everyone has his own purpose in doing anything, it's just the length of the process. So, Mr. Jack, what is your purpose?  "The woman asked, "You can refuse to answer, or just give a brief description, but please don't tell those lies and empty words, I can still hear it.  " "My purpose, as I said just now, is to study the relationship between magic and superpowers.  "In a way, Jack can be said to be telling the truth. After all, this is the purpose for him and Eureka to come to this world. Just listen to Jack continue to say: "I have been researching this for a long time, and now  The biggest question that bothers me is why people with superpowers - whether they are original stones or acquired ones - cannot use magic. I seemed to have caught some inspiration just now, but I still feel that something is wrong.  " "I don't know about that," the woman replied calmly, "But my purpose of coming here today has been accomplished - if you are telling the truth.  "    "certainly.  "Jack answered calmly. "So, when you can successfully answer this question, I will come back to you.  "The woman smiled, stood up, and disappeared like a puff of smoke, and Jack suddenly felt an uncontrollable sleepiness "Dear, dear, what's wrong with you?  "The familiar voice and gentle call woke up Jack. When he opened his eyes, he saw a face full of concern. It was Eureka. Although the surrounding scenery had not changed, Jack knew that he had "come back."  "It's okay, I just had a dream.  "Jack smiled comfortingly, hugged Eureka to his chest, and continued: "It's a very interesting dream. If I can really answer the questions in the dream, then we can almost end up together.  The mission of this world.  " Hearing Jack's words, Eureka was stunned for a moment, then thoughtful, then raised her head and said to Jack: "But if we leave, what will the 'sisters' in the institute do?  " "Although we can't take them away, we can't just give up on them," Jie said.?Smiled and replied, "Don't worry, even if we can draw a conclusion, it won't be completed quickly. We can use this time to save a rich 'legacy' for them. Besides, don't underestimate their  Power. ¡± ;
