Index.
She is a young girl with long silver hair and green eyes, appearing only about 14 years old. As a nun belonging to the Anglican Church on the magic side, she stores 103,000 grimoires in her mind.
At this moment, Index, who had been fished up from the balcony by Kamijou Touma, was introducing herself while eating. Kamijou Touma's head was buzzing.
Magic? Magic Cabal?
What are these things? Is it something believed in by some new religion? Well, as long as it's not a cult, whatever...
"Although I know about various supernatural powers, I have never heard of magic. As everyone knows, this is a city of espers, so superpowers are not strange at all."
"What are you saying? You believe in superpowers, yet you don't believe in magic? That's too strange. How about this? The clothes I'm wearing are made of powerful defensive magic. Take a kitchen knife and try to stab me!"
Index puffed out her cheeks and waved the banner of magic firmly. Kamijou Touma, still confused by the concept of magic, slowly raised his right hand.
[Imagine Breaker]
One of the many abilities harbored by Kamijou Touma. It belongs neither to magic nor to superpowers; it is the benchmark and repair point of the world. All phenomena that contradict the normal world will be forcibly eliminated.
He wanted to prove that his right hand truly possessed the ability to eliminate abnormal powers, and she wanted to prove that magic truly existed in this world.
They looked at each other. Kamijou Touma took a deep breath and, slightly nervous, extended his right hand to touch the shoulder of Index, who was wearing a nun's habit.
One second passed.
Two seconds passed.
Three seconds passed.
Index's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a confident smile. Just as Kamijou Touma was wondering why nothing had happened, Index's nun habit... shattered.
"..."
"..."
After this incident, Index believed that Kamijou Touma's right hand was truly unusual, and Kamijou Touma also believed most of what Index had said.
Of course, it would have been better if they could have confirmed it in a gentler way. Kamijou Touma's body was covered in jagged bite marks from the furious Index.
"Right, I still have remedial classes to attend!"
Kamijou Touma helplessly reached out and slapped his forehead heavily. He stood up from the floor and turned to look at Index, who had put back on her patched-up nun habit.
He asked if she wanted to continue staying here. If so, he could provide her with a key. Index lowered her head, revealed a faint smile, and then shook her head.
"Thank you, but I have to leave here."
Index indicated that if she continued to stay here, someone would definitely come after her, and this house would probably be blown to pieces.
She walked out the door with light steps. Seeing this, Kamijou Touma stepped forward to follow, but after only two steps, he tripped over his own carpet. At the same time, the phone that fell from his hand was crushed under his foot.
"..."
Kamijou Touma's mouth twitched slightly. Even though he had anticipated his misfortune, the cost this time—having his phone crushed—was a bit too high.
Index chuckled, teasing that Kamijou Touma's right hand might have eliminated his luck attribute as well, leaving him shrouded in misfortune.
"Hehe, I'm leaving then~"
Index waved at Kamijou Touma with a smile and then walked quickly outside. Watching her retreating back, a sense of unease welled up in Kamijou Touma's heart.
Could he really just leave her to be hunted down like this? Although she said she would be protected as long as she escaped to the church, it probably wasn't as easy as she made it sound.
He scratched his head in distress. Suddenly remembering he still had remedial classes to attend, he helplessly ran back to his bed, grabbed his schoolbag, and rushed toward his school.
That day, at dusk.
As a Judgement Member, Kuroko was patrolling her jurisdiction as usual, while Mikoto accompanied her, acting as a leisurely walk before returning to the dormitory.
"By the way, where exactly did Onee-sama go? She clearly said a few days ago that if she was tied up by something, she must tell us..."
Mikoto tilted her head leisurely, looking at the sky that was about to turn into night, thinking that she must ask Onee-sama for an explanation tomorrow. Kuroko, beside her, held a pessimistic attitude.
"Wuwuwu, Onee-sama must have found a man outside. Which ape snatched my Onee-sama? If I find him, I must execute him on the spot!"
Kuroko was filled with intense negative energy. Even Mikoto, who claimed that it was impossible for her Onee-sama to have a man outside, was somewhat infected and gradually became flustered.
Being in her second year of middle school, it was the period when a girl's heart was budding. Mikoto couldn't help but think in that direction, even though she felt it would be very terrible if it really happened.
Suddenly, a building not far from them activated its fire extinguishing system, and on the corridor where water was being sprayed, brilliant sparks appeared from time to time.
The two's attention was suddenly drawn to this sudden abnormal scene. They looked in the direction of the explosion in unison and quickened their pace toward it.
At this moment, outside Kamijou's house.
Index lay on the ground, soaked in blood. Beside her stood a red-haired magician named "Stiyl Magnus".
He was the magician responsible for taking Index away. He was good at using fire-based magic. The "Flame Sword" formed by 3000-degree flames and the "Innocentius" that could automatically track enemies were his signature moves.
He didn't think an ordinary person like Kamijou Touma could stop his actions, but the reality was shocking.
The powerful fire magic was broken by Kamijou Touma. At this moment, Kamijou Touma was lowering his head, slowly clenching his fists, and walking toward him step by step like a ghost.
The more he recalled Index's innocent smile from the morning, the more ashamed he felt about his choice when he watched her leave.
"Damn it, I should have thought of it. I shouldn't have let you leave alone this morning. I can't accompany you to hell, but since that's the case, I will pull you up from hell!"
Accompanied by Stiyl's terrified gaze, Kamijou Touma's fist had already appeared right in front of his cheek, slamming down like an iron hammer.
Bang!!!
Kamijou Touma's face-breaking punch slammed directly into the face of the magician named Stiyl. The powerful impact sent the two-meter-tall guy tumbling, and he slammed into the ground with a heavy sound.
