There is no point in reading only the science side arcs as the arcs of this series are deeply linked. Science only arcs are a minority and to understand them you have to know events, terminology, characters that appears in the other arcs, whether they are science-magic arcs or magic only arcs. If you don't read everything, you won't have a full grasp of the science side as there is actually a part of it in most of the arcs. Actually, science and magic are linked like the arcs, most evident proofs of it are Aleister using magical knowedge for his plan (espers, Kazakiri, SYSTEM, etc.).
