"What exactly is going on?"
"This is beyond Vector Change, do you know that?"
A large crowd escaped from the shops that was lining the sides due to the chaos caused by the Powered Suits. As soon as they stepped out, Maycia turned to face them, and they were all instantly crushed. This led to everyone staying put inside, afraid of ending up in the same fate as them if they were to leave.
Touma and Maycia were at the fourth level. The area around them was red, with piles of corpses lying around. The walls were stained with blood, and a thin film of blood covered the ground.
All of this was the result of an invisible force crushing a crowd at once like flattening a pancake.
Maycia stood still. She wanted to move, but something took over her body. No doubt it was STUDY. Maycia was naïve to have thought that she was an independent unit free from anybody's control. Fortunately, she still retained some control over her speech and thoughts.
Even that was slowly slipping as well.
"A code has been inputted into me. I'm losing control. Eventually, I'll degenerate into a killing machine that can kill at sight."
Touma still had the Holy Lance in his hand. He could kill Maycia in a single strike if needed.
"Is there any other option?"
"You have to kill me. The Diffusion Ghost network is being overloaded because of that code. If you don't kill me, Janie and Febri will die when the network breaks down."
Maycia smiled. Those two months she spent with Janie and Febri, and a certain idiotic woman was enough. Even though she found them rather immature, but they were fun to be with.
"I really have no regrets. Besides, we've barely met for a day. Don't have to get so emotionally attached to me."
Touma clutched his bident, "You can't die for their sake. I'm sure there's another way where you don't have to die to save them."
He may not have understood how close Maycia was with the three of them, but they will surely be devastated if Maycia were to die.
Perhaps this was the sort of person Touma was.
He wanted a happy ending where everybody will be smiling in the end. It didn't matter what happened in between, so long as it eventually led to this kind of ending.
Maycia lifted a hand towards Touma, "Aha, so these STUDY bastards has decided to pit my new ability against you?"
An overwhelming unseen force slammed against Touma like a moving truck. A normal human would have died, but Touma was knocked to the ground, and managed to get up with a dull ache in his chest.
He shot forth with the bident, but the same force shattered the bident into pieces, and knocked him back, forming a crater on the ground.
I don't believe it.
Touma was in his Saint mode. His approaching speed was enough to break the sound barrier. For that force to knock him back despite his speed, just how much calucation power did Maycia possess?
The bident was shattered because its durability is dependent on how much energy was used to summon it. The opposing force was too powerful.
Maycia hurled a fist and Touma intercepted it with a fist of his own.
The ground under them was destroyed and the both of them fell to the third level. It began to rain human flesh with some blood trickling down. It was empty because most people in this level had already evacuated from the mall.
"How do I stop this code?" Touma asked.
"I don't know how to stop this. I'm scared. Janie and Febri is going to die because of my fault."
The same overwhelming force appeared again. Touma switched to his Imagine Breaker mode, lifted his right hand and negated it, almost breaking his hand in the process.
"If my right hand touches you, there might be a chance."
Touma switched back to Saint mode, and attempted to break through the invisible force that was preventing him from reaching Maycia.
She was a prototype to recreate the powers of the #1 known as Vector Change. It allows one to manipulate the vectors of anything by touching it.
There was also a passive mode known as Redirection where any incoming vectors towards the AIM field would be automatically redirected.
What if Maycia's AIM field expanded, so when Touma tried to get closer, he could not because he was fighting against the redirected vectors of his approach?
Is this Redirection? If that's the case, I'll break through this defense.
Touma used his Imagine Breaker, but he realized that it was something like an invisible water jet pushing against him. The regeneration rate was too fast for it to be negated completely. He didn't have the strength to push through that "water jet" as well.
"Do you at least have an idea of what power you're using?"
"I don't kno- dsadsdIdsasdHAVEgrgdwNOdwdwIDEA."
Maycia's eyes were flashing red, and her breathing grew more laboured.
"I'm reaching that limit soon. That's great, I'll end up dying first. Janie and Febri will be fine. After all, I'm just a fucking prototype. This is probably an experiment to see where I can be improved. Luckily, I'm a shitty prototype that won't last for more than 30 minutes."
It was only for a moment, but Touma had heard Maycia speaking in the language of an angel. His own body was 5% angelic, so he could understand what she said, but is unable to respond in the same way.
Is STUDY attempting to create an artificial angel?
Touma was stunned at how far science had advanced. Reaching into even the realms of divinity?
The more pressing concern was to stop Maycia from sprouting wings. This should be the limit that she was referring to.
He began to manipulate the invisible force. A pair of jet black wings was forming from his back.
"Just what the hell are you doing?!" Maycia said.
"Reverse engineering your power, and so the code that is controlling you."
Touma once thought that his Imagine Breaker was a power that could negate any supernatural phenomenon, but it was actually a power that could reverse engineer any supernatural phenomenon to negate it. He tampered with his Imagine Breaker to create the manipulation option.
"Even if you succeed, how are you going to implement it?"
Touma widened his eyes in shock, "I..."
Maycia was right. So what if he could reverse engineer the code controlling her? He had no way of implementing a command created through his reverse engineering to terminate the code.
There was another option of touching Maycia with his right hand.
Touma cursed his powerlessness. His Saint mode and Imagine Breaker mode cannot co-exist. It was impossible for him to move at supersonic speed, and having his Imagine Breaker to negate the invisible force. His strength even with Saint mode was not powerful enough to push through that force.
"Damm it!"
For every two steps Touma took, he was pushed back by three steps.
"It was nice knowing you. Well, if you're that emotionally attached to me, do me a favor after I die. Free Janie and Febri."
"I will. I will definitely free Janie and Febri."
Maycia let out a comforting sigh, "Ahh... That's great. Despite knowing each other for than less a day, you're willing to go so far just for me. I'm such a useless sister. I really wished that I could have done something on my own instead of relying on others."
Touma was finished with his reverse engineering.
"I understand what this is all about."
"I think I understand as well."
In truth, Maycia's understanding was very different from Touma's understanding, but the result was the same.
Snowy white wings sprouted from Maycia's back. A halo appeared above her head.
The entire third level was destroyed with a single flap of her wings. Touma shielded himself from the shockwaves with his own wings. There was no more ground underneath, so they were floating in the air using their wings.
"If I had such a power from the start, I'm sure I could have been a good sister who can protect them from anything." Maycia said.
She closed her eyes. The wings and the halo vanished as Maycia fell to the ground.
Touma swooped in, and held her in his arms.
"And free that idiotic woman as well. Remember your promise."
Maycia went limp, and she stopped breathing.
However, there was a smile on her face.
Touma nodded. He understood the meaning of that smile.
"I will definitely free them. It's a promise."
"We've succeeded!"
Those were the first words that Maycia heard as she stepped out of the Testament machine.
A brown-haired woman wearing spectacles was standing in front of her, smiling.
"How are you?"
"Who the fuck are you anyway?"
Maycia remembered her name.
Sakurai Jun.
"I guess this is to be expected since we inputted the thought patterns of that #1." Jun sighed.
This is when Maycia learnt that she was a prototype to recreate the ability of the strongest ESPer in Academy City.
Everyday, she would go through countless experiments to test her ability. Most of them were very cruel, leaving her in a near-death state each time.
However, Maycia could be repaired easily. Even so, it was painful. Everyday was like hell.
"Test 73 will begin in 10, 9, 8, 7..."
Maycia was in a familiar white room. A missile was aimed towards her.
"... 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0."
She used her Redirection to alter the vectors of that missile, crashing into a wall beside her instead, but Maycia failed to completely reflect the blast waves caused by the explosion.
Maycia's chest was in extreme agony, and one arm was gone. It was the 73th time that she felt the same pain assaulting her.
"Time for the doll to be repaired once again."
A fat man wearing spectacles would always say that as he retrieved her from the room.
This added to Maycia's agony.
Fuck this. Am I really just a doll with a valuable ability made to be abused by you people?!
Afterwards, she would be dumped inside a strange machine, and her body would be repaired, ready for the next experiment.
"Sorry that we have to put you through this pain."
Each time after fixing her up, Jun would always say that.
Maycia would always ignore her and walk away.
If you're truly sorry, why keep on putting me through this shit? You're probably a fucking hypocrite. Nice on the outside, but inside you're just like the rest.
One day, Jun brought Maycia inside a brightly colored room. There were two identical girls who looked exactly the same as her.
Maycia was horrified to see clones of herself playing with toys.
"What the fuck is this?!"
Jun clapped her hands and directed their attention towards Maycia.
"This is your elder sister, Maycia. Maycia, these are your two younger sisters, Janie and Febri."
Both Janie and Febri waved their hands and smiled, "Onee-chan!"
"J-Just call me Maycia god damn it."
"Okay. Maycia!"
I truly have difficulty being around them.
Maycia felt like an adult being placed together with retarded three-year-olds who enjoys playing make-believe using whatever that was available.
"I'm a pirate! And I'm going to steal your treasure!"
"I have a gun, and I'm going to shoot you."
It was just another session of playing make-believe. Febri had a toy sword, while Janie had a gun made from Lego parts.
Maycia sat at a corner, disinterestedly looking at them.
"Won't you join us in our treasure fight?" Febri asked.
Janie waved her gun around, "Yeah. The more the merrier!"
"You really don't want to join them?" Jun said, "Look, I'll join them as well, so don't make up any excuses saying that its only for kids."
When Maycia saw how Jun was willing to put down her pride, she decided to give it a shot. Her opinion of Jun was gradually changing seeing how she treated them as proper humans instead of dolls unlike the rest.
It was still something that only retarded three-year-olds would play, but that was where the fun of playing make-believe lies.
Maycia's life began to have meaning. Despite going through shitty experiments everyday, she looked forward to spending time with the both of them, and Jun after that.
Jun was like a mother figure that taught them a lot of things, and a friend that they had fun with.
"Let's go to the nearest shopping mall. It's not good to be cooped up in this experimental facility forever."
The air outside was uncomfortably warm, yet fresh. Maycia was too used to the air conditioning inside, so she felt at home when they entered the mall.
Naturally, the toy store was their first destination.
"Ge-ge-gekota!"
Janie was beaming from ear to ear as she played with the Gekota finger puppets.
"You must really like Gekota a lot huh?" Maycia asked.
"Because it is cute."
"Oh..."
Maycia could not see anything cute about this Gekota. Then again, she wasn't an immature three-year-old like Janie.
"Next time, I want a rainbow one!"
"Well, next time then." Jun patted Janie on the head.
Afterwards, they all headed to a bank because Jun wanted to withdraw money.
"Maycia, I'm counting on you as a elder sister to make sure they sit still and be quiet."
Jun joined the queue while the triplets sat in one of the brown couches being placed around.
Janie and Febri began playing thumb wrestling with the Gekota finger puppets.
Well, at least they aren't running about. Maycia thought.
The bank was quiet with the occasional murmurings. Sometimes, the both of them would get too loud while engrossed in their finger wrestling, so Maycia had to quieten them down before they get kicked out for being too noisy.
A loud gunshot disturbed the silence.
"Freeze!"
It was a group of robbers armed with rifles.
One of them grabbed Jun as a hostage for an easy getaway later. Febri acted on impulse and charged towards the robber to rescue Jun. She ended up becoming another hostage.
Febri squeaked, her voice barely audible.
"Help me."
Janie jabbed at Maycia's sides with a pleading look.
"Yeah. Yeah."
Maycia took a few finger puppets from Janie and hopped off the couch annoyed. Why was Febri so stupid? Does she even have some basic common sense?
"Hey you, let go of this woman, and my sister."
Maycia stood in front of those robbers. She showed no sign of fear.
"What if I don't? Little girl."
This particular robber doubted that a little girl like her wouldn't be capable of something dangerous.
But this was Academy City after all. Looks can be pretty deceiving.
"Do you really want to find out?"
Maycia hurled a finger puppet towards that robber, piercing completely through his forehead.
She hurled one more finger puppet towards the robber that was holding Jun hostage.
Confused and afraid at what Maycia did, the remaining robbers opened fire at her.
It was a grave mistake. She reflected all the bullets, killing them in an instant.
The crowd scrambled for the exit while the manager was calling Anti-Skill to deal with the bodies.
Febri rushed to hug Maycia.
"Thank you! I knew you would save us."
"Next time, please don't be so stupid and just rush into things!" Maycia rebuked.
"Okay... I'm sorry... but thanks for saving me."
Jun laughed, "You don't really have to thank her. It's the elder sister's responsibility to protect her younger sister in times of trouble after all."
"Maycia is a good elder sister for protecting us." Janie said.
...
Yeah, I just wanted to be a good elder sister for the both of them.
That's why I need to have power.
I want to protect my family!
It was the strong desire to protect that made Maycia realized something about the power she had.
"I understand what this is all about." Touma said.
"I think I understand as well."
Vector Change is more than just pure destruction.
With that understanding, a new power emerged.
Maycia used that power to erase the code that was controlling her, and disconnected from the Diffusion Ghost network plus two other unknown network that Maycia now realized that she was connected to as well.
She also detected an attempt to erase the code from an external terminal connected to the Diffusion Ghost network.
That idiotic woman... but everything is okay now.
Janie and Febri was no longer in danger.
Maycia became an independent unit possessing an incredible amount of power without relying on any network.
Snowy white wings sprouted from her back, and a halo appeared above her head.
The entire third level was destroyed with a single flap of her wings. Touma shielded himself from the shockwaves with his own wings. There was no more ground underneath, so they were floating in the air using their wings.
"If I had such a power from the start, I'm sure I could have been a good sister who can protect them from anything." Maycia said.
She closed her eyes. The wings and the halo vanished as Maycia fell to the ground.
Touma swooped in, and held her in his arms.
Five seconds before dying, Maycia finally found the answer to a question that she had forgotten for some time.
"Sorry that we have to put you through this pain."
Why do you apologize each time?
This was the question.
And the answer Maycia found was...
Because I care for you.
"And free that idiotic woman as well. Remember your promise."
The power was too great for her to handle.
Maycia went limp, and she stopped breathing.
However, there was a smile on her face.
Jun slipped into the mainframe room of the Diffusion Ghost network. It was a large room filled with computer terminals as large as a telephone booth.
She connected her laptop into one terminal in a dark corner and began to erase a code inputted into Maycia. Despite the air-conditioning, sweat was dripping down from her face as she furiously punched in commands after commands.
Maycia was an artificial ESPer created with chemicals.
With data from the Dark May project provided by their backer, they managed to 100% replicate the AIM field of the #1, and Maycia could use his ability at Level 5, but she only had enough calculation power to use Vector Change at Level 2 even with the Diffusion Ghost network because her brain was not powerful enough.
This code would push Maycia's ability beyond Level 5 at the cost of overloading the network.
Janie was the core, and Febri was the backup core to supply additional calculation power. Maycia was forcibly connected through the code.
The three of them would die if Jun did not erase it from the network soon enough.
Just what kind of code this is?
This code was provided by their backer. STUDY has tried to reverse engineer the code, but to no avail. All they knew that according to the simulation, if Maycia were to be inputted with this code, a new clearance level would be available to her Vector Change.
Imaginary vectors.
An absolute power that can destroy anything within sight.
Jun saw how easily a crowd was killed just by looking at them.
I have to stop this.
She was finally halfway through. This was the critical moment of her plan.
They should've realized that they lost control over Maycia through the code.
Everything would be okay if I erase the code before the rest finds me.
It was only a temporary solution to prolong their lives. Their backer could provide another code, and her betrayal would be for nothing.
But I have to save them.
Jun felt the cold gun barrel pressed against her temples.
"You're faster than I expected."
Haruki smirked, "I told you not to become so close with them. All of them are just dolls that will bring STUDY closer to our goals, but you've betrayed us because of them? What a pity."
"They are not dolls."
"They are dolls created by us."
"That's why they are my children."
Haruki and Jun was the founder of STUDY. The Chemicaloid project to create artificial ESPers with chemcials was their brainchild.
After countless rejections, they finally found a backer who was willing to fund their project.
Maycia was born from that project.
Janie and Febri was born some time later to augment the Diffusion Ghost network
Jun heard thudding footsteps. Someone else had entered the room.
"It doesn't matter, you'll reach a dead end anyway."
It was their backer.
Kumokawa Seria.
She switched on a giant screen, displaying the situation between Touma and Maycia.
Maycia was immobile, but there was an invisible force preventing him from reaching her.
Seria grabbed a laptop from another member from STUDY that entered the room, and connected it to a terminal. She pressed a few buttons before looking up at the giant screen.
"Do you want to know why Maycia isn't dead by now?" Seria said.
Before Jun could reply, Seria continued.
"Because other than the Diffusion Ghost network, the Level Upper and Misaka network is supporting Maycia's calculations as well, but an additional 30,000 brains is just barely enough to keep up."
Jun reached a dead end in trying to erase the code, but she continued trying to figure out a solution.
I will definitely save all of you.
Meanwhile, Seria watched how powerless Touma was as he tried his best to get closer to Maycia, but failed.
So that's how weak you've become.
She determined that a rough estimate of Touma's current power level would be around 1.5 times stronger than Accelerator.
Seria heard about how Touma, her ex-boyfriend, was so powerful in the magic side that he could probably take on the world and win.
But reduced to the level where you can only take on an army and win? Pathetic.
A pair of jet black wings was forming from Touma's back as he continued to push forward, only to be pushed back.
Wings aren't going to make you any less pathetic.
Seria went back to her laptop and looked at Mikoto soaring in the air with a blade surfboard, carrying Febri on her back.
Mikoto was the reason for her misery.
She was the reason why Touma was her ex.
You betrayed me for her.
Seria clenched a fist. She sent a few Powered Suits after Mikoto. It was futile because she could deal with them easily as a Level 5, but Seria felt as though she should do something to express her hatred towards Mikoto.
"I'm done here."
Seria stood up and left the room after watching Maycia sprouting white wings and a halo, erased the code inputted inside her, and disconnected from the three networks. She managed to destroy a level of the shopping mall without any network support by flapping her wings once.
As Seria walked down the corridor, she took out her phone.
"Are those 1000 Powered Suits armed with weapons disposed of?"
"Yes."
"Good. We don't want to be labelled as terrorists, do we?"
She put down the phone.
Everything is perfect for the Level 6 Shift Project.
Mikoto was carrying Febri on her back as she sprinted towards the nearest hospital. Ruiko managed to keep up with Mikoto, but Kazari was almost left behind at times.
The gruesome scene from before gave Ruiko a strong nauseous feeling just by thinking about it.
Even Kazari was horrified, but why was Mikoto not affected by the slightest bit? The crazy spiky-haired guy who pulled a weapon out from a graviton explosion was an exception.
It seems as though Misaka is used to seeing such things. I wonder why.
This was what Ruiko inferred from Mikoto's reaction upon witnessing a few people being crushed into bloody meat piles.
Ruiko suppressed her urge to vomit.
"S-Should we ca-call Anti-Skill for backup? I don't th-think that boy is enough." Kazari said, panting.
"Yeah, I'm afraid he'd end up like those people. Maybe to rescue him?" Ruiko said.
"Calling Anti-Skill would be equal to sending them to their death." Mikoto said, "I'm sure he can handle this."
He was a person who could defeat her in two moves, and could do impossible things like grabbing energy and pulling a weapon out from a graviton explosion. Dealing with that arrogant blonde twin who knew how to exploit her love for Gekota should be no problem.
Febri was panting even harder than Kazari, and Mikoto could feel her becoming hotter.
"I guess I have no choice. I'll use my fastest method then. See you later."
Using magnetism, Mikoto leaped up towards a rooftop, plucked a blade from a wind turbine, and zipped through the air using the blade like a surfboard.
The buildings around her were built mostly with metal, so she was able to create an expanding electromagnetic field to travel fast without hopping about using the blade as a stable transport.
Honestly, what is his relationship with this little girl and that other twin?
Mikoto was too focused on her Gekota that she forgot to ask Touma.
Blonde reminds me of that Mental Out. I swear if he is actually related to her in some way, I don't wish to live on this planet anymore.
Associating the most disgusting bitch ever lived with the most coolest guy ever lived was too much for Mikoto.
She deftly dodged a few missiles from behind, and turned to face five menacing Powered Suits attached with wings. Mikoto's spatial sensing through electromagnetic waves allowed her to predict any incoming attacks.
"What the fuck?"
They seemed to be saying 'Hand over Febri or die', but when those Powered Suits relentlessly released a stream of missiles, pushing Mikoto's acrobatic dodging skills to the limits, the message was more towards 'The both of you should just fucking die'.
Is this some kind of a bullet hell game?!
Mikoto swerved to her right, grazing through a missile, but another one slammed straight towards her. She lifted up the blade surfboard in time, and propelled herself and Febri away from the explosion.
While descending towards ground, with one hand grabbing Febri by her wrist, Mikoto swung a large lightning bolt sideways towards those Powered Suit only to see it being dissipated away.
Shit. Amour made from electrical insulators? I underestimated them. But such cheap tricks won't work against a Level 5.
Mikoto slowed down her descent using magnetism, and landed on the asphalt.
The five Powered Suits landed as well, crushing a few cars underneath.
"I'd like to see how you deal with kinetic energy."
Mikoto took a coin out and fired her Railgun at one Powered Suit. An orange beam blasted through the amour, and it fell to the ground in ruins.
"Wait a minute..."
Mikoto realized that the Powered Suits were not moving at all. Despite hearing the faint rumbling sound of their engine running, they stood there, silent.
"I'm part of the Diffusion Ghost network as well." Febri said.
Her body was trembling as she struggled to keep standing.
"Self destruct."
The remaining four Powered Suits fell apart as if they were sliced into pieces by an invisible blade.
Mikoto blinked at how easy it was for Febri to deal with the Powered Suits.
"Maybe you should have done so from th-"
A soft thud interrupted Mikoto.
Febri was unconscious, lying on the warm asphalt.
"How is Febri?" Mikoto asked.
A frog-face doctor shook his head, "She has a fever, but the problem is that I can't make it go away."
They were both standing outside Febri's hospital ward.
"Why? Is there anything wrong with her?"
"She's... artificially created. Simply put, she's an artificial human."
With Academy City's technology, this wasn't impossible, but for what purpose? Some underground experiment from the dark side?
"Is there anything I can do to help her...?"
"I'm afraid only the person who created her can save her. Even those lollipops she has isn't working anymore. She only has two days before she dies from the fever."
"Lollipops? I was somehow dragged into this situation, so I don't really understand what's going on."
Mikoto was out shopping with her friends when a graviton bomb suddenly went off, and then she had to send that blonde girl to a hospital, dodging missile on the way while her twin went berserk.
"Her artificial body secretes a poison that will kill her if too much is accumulated, so she needs special lollipops to remove the poison."
It was an unexpected voice.
"Shokuhou Misaki? What the fuck are you doing here? Does this blonde girl happen to be your sister that you artificially created with your Mental Out?"
"Well, it is possible, but it's not worth the effort. Creating a human psyche from nothing isn't easy, you know?"
Mikoto folded her arms, "Anyway, what are you doing here?"
"Oh, me?" Misaki said, "You'll find out soon enough."
Touma appeared from a room just ahead after visiting Maycia who was on life support. Her brain was completely fried, so she was declared brain dead.
Even if Maycia were to be revived by creating a new brain for her, the old Maycia would still remain "dead".
But if the Diffusion Ghost network has a backup copy of Maycia's memories, the old Maycia can be revived. It was Touma's only hope.
"What's the situation, Misaki?" Touma asked.
"Febri will die in two days if we don't find the people who created her. That's troubling. STUDY has done a very good job in hiding the location of their HQ, but I've found all their traps, aka possible locations. Through elimination, we should be able to figure out its location by dawn."
"Wait... Misaki? Why are you on a first name basis with her?!" Mikoto said.
Touma scratched his head, "Because she's my childhood friend?"
It was too much for Mikoto. She felt her surroundings grew darker and darker with despair.
"I don't want to live on this planet anymore."
Misaki tilted her head in confusion before clinging onto Touma's arm.
"Anyway, we need your help. Things would be a lot easier if you agree."
"And why should I help you...?" Mikoto said.
"Us." Touma smiled with a small hint of sadness, "It's for that little blonde girl lying inside that ward, and for a promise I've made to her twin."
Mikoto didn't have the heart to reject him when she sensed that small hint of sadness.
Did something happened along the way? Anyway, I guess I can at least do something for him!
She nodded, "I-It's n-not like I'm do-doing for your sake. I just want to help that poor girl. Y-yeah, that's all."
Misaki said, "That's great. We'll begin at night."
Author's Note: The Slient Party arc would probably be over in the next chapter, so yay?
Anyway, about Seria is Touma's ex-girlfriend. It just kinda clicked with whatever I was planning, so I thought, why not?
Lastly, about Maycia's sprouting white wings, it kinda reflects what Accelerator wants to be deep down inside. To protect somebody with his power. There isn't really any epic fight between Touma and Maycia because I want to reserve all the cool moves when Touma fights the real thing (Accelerator).
To MrPedoBear: Glad that it isn't boring :)
To WikiWonder: Thanks for providing information to people who might be too lazy to seach Wikipedia for the Holy Lance. Oh, and did you know that water and blood poured out from Jesus when he was stabbed by the sides to check if he was still alive. This is proof that he is both human and God at the same time.
To Guest: I'm not sure if I can continue A Mirage To Keep You Safe, because this fic is actually quite similar to that fic. I would be repeating the same ideas twice if I continue AMTKYS. But hopefully this fic would end up different enough to make continuing worth it.
I guess that's all.
Hope you liked this chapter.
