Chapter 1: Index Librorum Prohitorum prt 1
Hideyoshi Yuuki
1 year have passed, and Hideyoshi Yuuki have lived a relatively normal life, though there were sometime things that he have to do due to direct orders either from Aleister or Laura Stuart. He is now waiting in his classroom, looking out the window when he shifted his gaze to a certain group of classmates. The group is consisted of three members: Tsuchimikado Motoharu, Aogami Pierce, and Kamijou Touma. Together, they are the Delta Force.
Among them, Yuuki finds Touma the most interesting; he have found out that he possess an ability in his right hand called "Imagine Breaker", an ability that negates any supernatural phenomenon, regardless of its origin. At first, Yuuki doesn't believe him, but figured that Touma is a person that won't tell a lie unless it is proven absolute necessary. To test his power, Yuuki used his Esper power: Matter Vibration, a power that controls vibration of all matters, and even risked using magic to test Touma's ability. To say that he was surprised was an understatement. When his abilities came in contact with his right arm, there was the sound of glass shattering and his ability disappeared. Yuuki tried multiple times, but the results are still the same.
'This would certainly be worth observing. From what I gathered, Imagine Breaker isn't an Esper ability nor Magic. I don't sense any Mana from him and he doesn't have AIM field. I already notified the Archbishop, but I wonder if Aleister knows about this.' Thought Yuuki as he focus on what the Delta Force is bickering about.
"I'm telling you that such loving little sisters don't exist in the 3D world! Tsuchimikado, you have been fooled!"
"So you wanna have a go Nya~?!"
"I don't think you're right on this one Aogami, seeing that Maika's exactly what you just claim to be false."
"Shut up you Harem King! Don't mock us mortals!"
"What do you mean by that you *fake Kansai Jin!? How can someone like you be class president?!"
Yuuki stared dumbfound at the Delta Force's antics before noticing a well-endowed, furious girl with a large forehead rushing toward the three idiots.
"ugh!"
"oof!"
"yah?!"
Two fists drilled themselves into Aogami and Tsuchimikado's stomach while a head-butt knocked Touma down. Right after the one side slaughter ended, the classroom door slides open, revealing a teacher with pink hair and eyes while her appearance resembles that of a 10 year old child. The teacher is known as Tsukuyomi Komoe, or Komoe sensei to the students. With a cheerful smile, she begun speaking:
"Alight class, the bell already rung! Get back to your seats so- wah! What happened here?"
In her sight, there stood Fukiyose Seiri, previously known as the well-endowed girl with a large forehead, surrounded by the bodies of the Delta Force.
O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O
After settling down, Komoe begun her lecture while the students copy notes. Seeing this, Yuuki sighed in content of the peaceful life style.
'no battles to fight, no politics to get wrapped up in…..feels nice.'
Of course, he knows that it's only a matter of time before the chaos comes back to his life, just waiting to lung when he least expected it.
'Heh, I find the saying 'the calm before the storm' rather fitting.'
"Hideyoshi-chan, please answer this question!"
Yuuki turned towards the black board with small smile and proceed to answer.
"Of course. The answer is….."
O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O
The bell rung, signifying the end of school, and also the start of summer. Students packed their school bags and rushes out of the classroom. Some even exaggeratingly shouted "Freedom!" Yuuki packed his supplies and head out towards the market, hoping to buy cheap ingredients enough to last him a few weeks. Of course, money isn't an issue; in fact, he is very rich due to his "jobs" from either the Archbishop or the General Superintendent. It is rather a life-style suitable to that of a spy to buy cheap ingredients instead of eating out so that he would still have a favorable amount of money in case of uncalled for situations. He finished paying for the selected items and was just as he exits the store, his high-technology cell phone rang. Shifting all the bags into one hand, Yuuki reached into his pocket with the other and looked at the screen. The address of the call caused him to narrow his eyes before answering the call.
"Archbishop. What is it that you need?"
A rather cheerful voice responded in Archaic Japanese.
"Awww….don't be so business-like Hideyoshi~~! After so long that we finally get to chat, and that's what you say? Don't you miss me?"
"Knowing you, you won't even care to call unless it's one of your schemes. Besides, how come your Japanese sound so weird? Who taught you Archaic Japanese?"
"…T-there are different kinds of Japanese? I didn't know that…."
"And you do now. So, who was it that taught you Japanese?"
"Tsuchimikado."
"….I think you picked the wrong person to teach you Japanese. Why not Kanzaki Kaori?"
"Wellllll…. about that…. Stiyl Magnus and Kanzaki Kaori aren't nearby for the time."
"Oh? Then where are they?"
"Japan. Or more specifically, Academy City."
Yuuki's body stiffen slightly before answering Laura Stuart in a serious tone.
"What are they doing here? No Magician should enter Academy City. Tsuchimikado
and I are exceptions."
"That is because Index Librorum Prohitorum has fled here after her memory wipe."
"….then do I need to take actions?"
"No. You and Tsuchimikado would observe for now. Don't blow your covers yet."
"Alright. I'll go see what's they're doing right now."
"Good. Report to me if anything happens."
With that, Archbishop Laura Stuart hung up. Yuuki exit the call menu and glanced at the time displayed at his phone.
"It's 4:30 now. I should drop my groceries at my dorm."
Yuuki closed his phone and headed towards his dorm.
O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O
When he just put his groceries away, Yuuki felt something that made chills go down his spine. Mana was being used nearby.
' Damn it. I can't risk being exposed while searching for the source of the magic. I guess that leaves me no choice but to use observation magic.'
Yuuki put his right hand outstretched in front of him, palms up. Concentrating, he focused on his outstretched hand. A trickle of blood came out of the corner of his mouth, causing Yuuki to frown due to the pain. A second later, a small, glowing, white transparent sphere appeared levitating above his hand. The surface of the sphere then proceed to change into an projected image of a battle. A battle between Kamijou Touma and Stiyl Magnus.
O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O
Right outside Touma's dorm room, there was a injured girl. The girl have thigh-length silver hair and large green eyes that are closed right now. She wears a white nun habit lined with gold that was being held up with gold pins. She is Index Librorum Prohitorum. A girl that have memorized all 103,000 Grimories. A girl that can be considered a Majin Candidate. But, a pool of blood seeped through the soft, white fabric that the nun habit. There, on her back, was a deep wound. Judging from the shape of the wound, one could deduct that it's made from a sword slashing against flesh.
'So it's Kanzaki.' Was all Yuuki thought as he continue to observe the battle.
The red haired Magician, Stiyl Magnus, has summoned a giant, fiery being made purely of flames that reached 3000 degree Celcius.
A voice rung out in the mist of battle. The voice is strangely empty, void of any emotions.
"Innocentius, the witch killing pope. A Pope-class magic that summons a humanoid creature of fire. Magic activated by using runes, 24 characters that are used to indicate mysteries and secrets and are also used as a magic language by Germanic Tribes since the 2nd Century and are found in the old roots of English. Attacking Innocentius would have no effect; as long as the Runes are not eliminated, Innocentius will be revived as many times as necessary."
"….Index, is that you?"
"My name is Index Librorum Prohitorum, but I suppose Index will do. As of right now, John Pen Mode is active due to large amount of blood loss."
"Where are you looking at Esper?! Always keep your eyes on the enemy!"
Innocentius swung a cross made of flames toward Touma, who countered by raising his right hand against the cross while his left hand supports his right arm. Seeing this, Stiyl started mocking Touma.
"It's useless! Innocentius regenerates automatically as long as I supply it with mana!"
The struggle continued for a few moments before Touma rolled out of the way of the cross, causing the ground where he previously was to explode in flames. Standing upright again, Touma ran away from the creature of flames. Seeing this, Innocentius followed after him. As Touma ran away, he noticed large amount of cards with symbols on them are stuck to the wall.
'Are those the Runes Index mentioned?'
Innocentius strikes again, causing Touma to fall several stories before landing on a roof shed and then rolled down on a few bicycles.
"O-ow…"
Getting up, Touma limped toward the railing of the street. He leaned against the railing, looking upward to Innocentius.
O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O
Kamijou Touma
Kamijou Touma leaned against the railing, looking upwards Innocentius.
'Today is certainly misfortunate. I lost my way to a church that was actually in district 23, challenged by Biribiri again, and now stuck fighting a self-proclaimed magician.'
Dodging a concrete thrown by Innocentius, Touma noticed a specific fact.
'Innocentius didn't follow me anymore….why is it that he can't go any further? No, wait…could it be…..? The rune! Innocentius can't move further than where the runes are placed! Now that he can't move, I should call Anti Skill!'
Touma fumbled for his phone, but when he was about to call, he hesitated.
'I-I'm not doing this to run away….right?'
-Will you follow me to the depths of hell?
Those were the words that the girl have told him…to keep him away from danger. And yet, here he was, trying to escape the situation because he was involved either way. He clenched his fists, eyes determined.
"That's right. If I don't follow you to the depths of hell, then I'll just have to drag you back out.
Another hot, flaming concrete came falling towards Touma, who franticly rolled out of the way. He may have made up his mind, but Innocentius is still a problem yet to be solved.
"With that thing in the dorm, it's a wonder that the fire alarm haven't gone off yet…"
Wait.
Touma's eyes widen in realization.
'The fire alarm.'
O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O
Back inside a certain dorm room, Yuuki looked over the hologram made of magic. A smile was on his lips as he watch the hologram.
"I see that he figured something out. I wonder what is it?"
Before he could muse over it, a wet cough racked his body as several more trickle of blood trail down Yuuki's lips.
'Whatever you're planning, I hope you can do if fast and keep it short, because using magic any longer would really not be good for my body.'
O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O
*Fake Kansai Jin : Aogami sometimes talk with a fake Kansai accent in the story, so Touma calles him a faker.
