Ahhh. Finally. The last part of the Kanzaki arc. hmm, I suppose I'd like to thank my beta reader first off, PokeRescue18. for all my mistakes, the lack of them is all thanks to that guy. Huzzah!

What with New Testament Volume 6, To Aru Majutsu no Index Endymion No Kiseki, To Aru Majutsu To Kagaku No Ensemble, To Aru Majutsu No Index: Road To Endymion as well as the second season of Railgun, why is it that everyone else is updating but me? Speaking as for the above titles, chances are I'll have a character focus on charatcers in these titles once they are released.

Anyway I felt that I had to put it on hold as I did school work and the like but here is the next chapter. I hope that you enjoy.

And as always, the disclaimer still applies.


Kanzaki Kaori and Darren Hersham faced each other. Opila runes were placed around the area so no-one could interfere. Only Kamijou Touma oversaw the battle, on the side.

Darren clenched tightly on the unnamed lance that had been used by St George to smite the Dragon and Kanzaki clenched tightly on the nodachi known as Shichiten Shichitou. Both actions were silent actions that signified that both magicians were ready.

Darren Hersham fought to destroy Kamijou Touma in order to have his power recognized, allowing him to ascend to a place known as a Saint. His reality was one that involved Kamijou Touma being dead and where Darren was a Saint.

Kanzaki Kaori fought not only as a magician but as a person who was protecting Kamijou Touma.

And both magicians were ready.

"The Great Hero's Lance! Strike!" yelled Darren as he swung the blade down, sword glowing light blue. A blade of air appeared as it cut through the road like it was nothing.

"Nanasen!" (Seven Flashes) cried out Kanzaki. The blade of air continued through the air and clashed with something in mid-air. Sparks flew as the attacks collided and Kamijou could see numerous wires in front of Kanzaki as the blade of air was deflected. There was a click almost as if a sword was being re-sheathed in its scabbard. Kamijou looked in awe. He rarely saw the power of a Saint and Kanzaki had yet to fully use her power. The attack itself make Kamijou tremble.

Darren clenched his sword even more tightly. The metal from his gauntlet was still twisted and every time that he moved, the metal continued to bite into the side of his hand. He had to finish this battle as quickly as he could.

"The Great Hero's Lance! Cut!" he cried as he let loose another strike.

"Nanasen!" cried Kanzaki again and the same clash of attacks occurred. Sparks flew and the blade of air flew off in another direction, slicing through a building as it did so. Kamijou's gaze was immediately directed towards it however no-one cried out or appeared to be hurt.

Kamijou switched his gaze again. Kanzaki was looking calmly at Darren and Darren's expression could not be determined. In that stand-off it was Darren who moved first. He leaped forward into the wires that were in front of Kanzaki, his armor protecting him from the threat that they posed.

Although they cut into his armor, Darren moved and swung his sword again, using a physical attack instead of magic towards Kanzaki. She reacted by bringing up her own nodachi, still inside its scabbard and the two connected, sparks flying as they did so.

However that was not the end. Using his other hand, Darren sent a punch towards Kanzaki, a blow that she caught using her own hand. Then, using one leg, she sent a kick towards Darren.

The action seemed insane. Why would a normal person attack a metal plate that had managed to go through her Nanasen? Of course, that only applied to normal people. However, Kanzaki had used the power of a Saint and the blow connected.

Darren was thrown back, no dents appearing in his armor. Although Kamijou's blows had twisted the armour because of his Imagine Breaker, Kanzaki Kaori did not have such ability; pure physical force was all that she needed. He was sent skidding onto the ground however he quickly stood up again.

"Impressive." Darren remarked. "So this is the power of a Saint. This makes me want to kill that Imagine Breaker even more!" Darren leaped towards Kanzaki again not using magic and swung his blade.

Kanzaki blocked again, not bothering taking her sword out of her scabbard however Darren had planned as such. He let loose a kick, one that Kanzaki caught again but Darren twisted as he was still in mid-air using his other leg to kick her. Kanzaki lost her balance as the leg she had grabbed was twisted and as such reacted rather slowly and received the kick to her arm.

Taking the opportunity to attack Darren, she used her scabbard as a club and, using the strength of a Saint, sent Darren flying. He was launched into the air a few meters but managed to straighten out and swung his sword saying, "The Great Hero's Lance! Pierce!" while in the air. This time, he thrust the blade forward.

Kanzaki reacted the same saying "Nanasen!" creating those familiar wires. However Darren's attack had been a thrust. The blade of air that had been produced was not a wave but similar to a spear's straight thrust. It passed through the wires some parts of the blade of air hitting the wires but most of the strike still managed to pass through.

Kanzaki took a leap back as the strike hit the ground where she had just been. Gravel was kicked up as the strike hit and Kanzaki landed without saying anything.

Darren landed where Kanzaki had just been. "What? Are you not going to attack? Kamijou Touma does not have to be my opponent. Even a Saint like you could make me ascend to the level of a Saint." Darren swung his weapon again. "The Great Hero's Lance! Slice!" Another blade of air appeared and Kanzaki responded with the same attack, with Nanasen.

However this time the results were different. Kamijou didn't know if the wires were still there but he guessed so but that was not the difference. Numerous cuts appeared in the ground, sending gravel in all directions and the invisible blades clashed.

Sparks came as the attacks clashed and Kamijou covered his face, almost being thrown off his feet from the shockwave that occurred. He looked up and saw that neither Kanzaki nor Darren had moved.

"This is getting boring." Said Darren. "I'll make sure to end this quickly." He ran forward with that amazing speed he possessed, the wires from the Nanasen attack cutting into his armor again as he swung the sword.

This time, Kanzaki did not raise her scabbard but merely let loose another kick. Darren was hit in the gut and sent flying back again. He rolled on the ground before standing up again, panting muffled in the armor.

"What is the point?" asked Kanzaki. "Why do you want to become a Saint?"

"Isn't it obvious? I want to become the strongest that there is. And that means becoming a Saint." Replied Darren. Kamijou felt himself clenching that right hand of his into a fist at these words. He had faced someone with a similar idea to this magician.

Except that the strongest was not being a Saint. But rather becoming the unreachable Level 6.

"I am St George the II." Darren boasted. "A magician that will not be surpassed. So that means that you stand in my way Saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaain t!" yelled Darren as he moved forward.

Kanzaki clenched her nodachi. "Strength isn't only physical." She said as she disappeared. Kamijou's eyes went wide. Where…..where had she gone?

His question was quickly answered as she reappeared while giving a kick at Darren's chest. She had used her supersonic speed that was the capability of a Saint to attack him. There was a "Gack!" that came from the armor and Darren was pushed back to a large degree.

He slowly got up regardless and that's when Kamijou noticed it. The armor that had managed to take such a battering was dented. That armor was dented.

Darren felt the dented metal and his head in his helmet looked up in shock. "You…you managed to forcibly break through my protection spell!?" he said astounded. He stood up straight although he wobbled a bit. "You're only making me want this even more!" he cried but still Kanzaki stood her ground.

"And that's where you are weak." She said. Darren clenched his sword at her words. What was she talking about? Even Kamijou was wondering.

"You are only fighting for yourself. Not for others." Kanzaki remembered the words that a certain Level 0 had said to her right in that spot when she had attacked him. "What is your reason for your strength?" she asked.

"Reason for my strength?" he asked. "I want strength to become strong! What other reason is there?" yelled Darren.

Kanzaki shook her head. "And that is where you are weak. Enough talk. You have yet to lay a strike on me. The battle was decided before it started."

Darren still walked forward despite Kanzaki's words. "Is that so? Well then let me show you my strength!" Darren leaped towards Kanzaki and she reacted not by using her nodachi but rather dodging the blow that came her way similar to how Kamijou had, by ducking. Her next move was to send a punch towards the underside of Darren's helmet.

Of course, she was not using a normal human's strength. The Saint powered punch sent Darren flying into the air spinning while he did so. It was not until he reached the tip of his flight that he managed to get control of his body, the underside of his helmet damaged.

He had intended to use his falling momentum to attack Kanzaki with full force however this did not happen. The reason was because Kanzaki had jumped up, using her powers as a Saint to accomplish a feat that would have normally been impossible.

Angered that his attempt to do as much damage as possible had failed as well as feeling personally mocked as Kanzaki used a power that he had yet to achieve, Darren's anger reached its limit.

"You say I'm not strong!?" said Darren. "How about now!? Sectator124! – The follower of the great hero!" cried Darren as he yelled his sorcery name.

"The Great Hero's Lance! Kill!" he said as he swung the blade. This time, instead of the blade lighting up with that same blue glow, it did so with a dark crimson color, almost as if the blade itself were seeping blood. Darren swung the blade, the blade of air that accompanied it clearly visible. For Kamijou on the ground, it looked like a sunset had appeared in the middle of the night.

However, that did nothing to Kanzaki. She cried out "Nanasen!" and that same strike that occurred before occurred now. Numerous flashes collided with the blade of air and they clashed, sparking up the night almost beautifully.

One would think that after Darren Hersham used his sorcery name, there would be an increase in power, however in the presence of one of the less than 20 Saints, it was nothing. The attacks fought against each other and turned each other to nothing and inside his armor, Darren gritted his teeth.

It was now that he decided to use his momentum. Darren focused all of his weight downwards as he fell, angling the sword so that if he were to hit the ground, it would look like he was piercing the ground itself.

Kanzaki did the same however ultimately Darren was the heavier and he gained most distance in the shortest amount of time. "The Great Hero's Lance! Thrust!" he yelled as he fell, the blade glowing that crimson red.

Darren Hersham smashed into the ground, gravel flying all directions and dust spraying up into the air as he hit the ground. Kanzaki entered that same cloud of dust and Kamijou found it hard to see in the cloud. What was happening?

Although Kamijou thought this, he dared not to come closer. However, he didn't need to. The fight came to him.

There was a terrible collision on the side of his head and Kamijou's head was forced to the side as he flew through the air, tumbling as he hit the ground. What? Kamijou looked up to see his attacker. Had it been Darren? Or Kanzaki, mistaking the people through the dust?

However as he did so, another blow came into his gut, too fast for him to see. He coughed up blood from the mere force of it and looked to see a blade right near his face. He recognized the inscription on it and if he could only reach it with his right hand…

Of course, it was not going to be that easy. A foot that was covered in metal armor stomped onto his foot and he cried out, earning a blow to the side of the head from the hilt of the sword.

Kamijou's vision blurred as another figure came from the dust. It was Kanzaki Kaori and upon seeing the scene in front of her, she clenched her nodachi.

"What are you-" began Kanzaki but Darren interrupted her.

"I told you." he said. "I don't have to beat you. As long as I defeat Imagine Breaker that's enough. And the fight doesn't have to be fair."

The sword exited Kamijou's vision and was thrust down. But just as it was a few millimeters from his face-

"Wait!" called Kanzaki. Both Darren and Kamijou looked up. "Leave him out of this. You need to defeat a Saint? Let the boy go."

"Kan….zaki?" said Kamijou weakly. "What….are you-"

"Shut up." Said Darren as he kicked Kamijou in the side with a foot to his right side. Kamijou coughed as the blow was intensified from the metal armor and he spat out more blood.

Ignoring him, Kanzaki continued to speak. "Let him go. I owe that boy a great debt. And I'm not going to let him die in such a pitiful way against such a pitiful enemy."

"So are you going to take his place? In this so-called 'unfair' fight?" asked Darren.

There was no hesitation as Kanzaki nodded.

"No….." said Kamijou in that same weak voice. "You…..beat this guy. Hurry….."

Kanzaki ignored him and looked at Darren, the one who held the lives of the Saint Kanzaki Kaori and the Imagine Breaker Kamijou Touma in his hand.

Then he spoke. "You have one day. Meet here at the same time. The Imagine Breaker lives. If you back out of this, I'll find and kill him without hesitation."

Kanzaki didn't say anything as she merely nodded. Kamijou looked at the expression on her face. What was it? Kamijou couldn't make it out as his vision blurred.

The last thing he heard on that night was "See ya Imagine Breaker." however he was not listening. At the last moment before Kamijou Touma lost consciousness, he could have sworn he saw Kanzaki Kaori's mouth move in a way that it was clear she was saying "I'm sorry."


Kamijou Touma immediately sat up. The side of his head hurt and his right hand hurt but most importantly, the leg that had been a problem for him in the last few days was only throbbing slightly. Next to him on the table was a note saying "Have a good rest" and one pill was in the bottle. His phone lay on the table as well.

And lying on the bed, near Kamijou's chest was the nun Index. She was clutching on the bed sheets tightly, almost as if Kamijou would disappear if she didn't do so.

Kamijou looked at Index. She had most likely not understood what had happened to Kamijou but Kamijou himself knew though. He knew why was still alive.

Kanzaki…he thought. Darren had given her a day. Kamijou didn't know how long he had been out but it was most likely more than that. However that posed the question, why was there still a pill in that bottle of his?

Kamijou had been told to eat the pills, 3 times a day. He had three pills left when he had been knocked unconscious however there was now one pill. He had probably been fed the pills by the doctor that he knew so well so if the day had passed wouldn't all the pills be gone?

Taking a hold of that thought, Kamijou reached for his phone. He opened it, looking at the date that had appeared on the screen. And the small flame of hope burst into a bright fire.

The date had yet to pass over a second day. Therefore, Kamijou had been unconscious for less than a day. And that meant that Kanzaki was still alive.

Kamijou looked out the window. The night sky was visible and that meant that Kamijou didn't have that much time left.

He would have to hurry but if he strained his leg to much, who knew what would happen to it?

Still, Kamijou Touma knew what he had to do. Taking the last pill, Kamijou hurried out of the hospital, trying not to wake Index.


Kanzaki Kaori had been given a day. However, she hadn't done anything spectacular. She hadn't bid her Amakusa Church goodbye, she hadn't talking to any colleagues, nor had she thought about that washing machine that lay in the dorm that she lived in in London.

If she were to wish them goodbye, what would she say? "I failed?" She would then be hounded with questions and the goodbye would be unsatisfactory. However, Kanzaki Kaori had failed. She had let that boy be in harm's way and it had been all her fault.

She could run away. Darren Hersham no longer had that tracking rune placed onto Kamijou Touma so he could easily take him down. However, could she gamble that boy's life like that? What if Darren had applied another rune to him when Kamijou was unconscious? There were too many factors that could be in place and Kanzaki would not, could not, gamble the boy's life away like that.

However, a part of the being known as Kanzaki Kaori felt satisfied. Kamijou Touma would live and she would fulfill her debt to him.

She knew that what she was doing was selfish however she had the strength to protect. That boy had told her that.

So Kanzaki Kaori felt satisfied that she was doing what that boy had told her to do.


Kanzaki came to the area that they had fought at before, Opila runes being placed around the area again like before. The building that had been sliced in their battle before had some tape over it that said that it was to be reconstructed soon.

But Kanzaki was not paying attention to that. She looked and saw the self-proclaimed St George the II in front of her. He merely stood there, the unnamed blade made in the figure of St George's lance in his hand.

Kanzaki subconsciously felt her nodachi on her side. How long had she had that sword? How many battles had she fought with it? She had grown quite attached to it but now was not the time for such thoughts.

The two magicians walked, the gap between them growing shorter and shorter. Soon, there faced each other, less than a meter between them.

"Your actions are quite noble." Darren said to her. "Sacrificing your life for the boy's. Just what is he to you?" asked Darren.

Kanzaki had no answer. The only thought that she had given it was that the boy was someone she was greatly indebted to. But was there more to it than that? She didn't have time to follow the thought as Darren spoke.

"Kneel." He said. Kanzaki didn't move and Darren moved his sword to her neck. "It's not every day that a Saint can be manipulated like this." He explained. "So kneel." Kanzaki did as she was told, expressionless.

Darren moved his sword so that it was against her neck. "Do you feel satisfied?" he asked.

Kanzaki hesitated before answering. "Yes." She said.

Darren said nothing as he raised his sword above his head and swung it down.

But he stopped.

Kanzaki hadn't flinched, that same expressionless gaze looking at him. But still Darren had stopped. It was not because he was second-guessing his decision. He wanted to be a Saint no matter what. It was something else.

A presence that Darren was familiar with. It had invaded the Opila runes and Darren turned his head to where the presence was.

Kanzaki followed his gaze and she looked shocked.

Because right in front of her, was Kamijou Touma.


Kamijou panted as he saw the scene in front of him. He had raced out of the hospital, the leg that had ached for so long throbbing a tiny bit. All he needed was a rest and that would be the end of the pain. However there was a more pressing issue.

He was still in his hospital gown and looked in anger at the scene in front of him. Kanzaki was kneeling. Kneeling. Had she really wanted to sacrifice her life that badly? And Darren Hersham. He was the one who held the sword that would kill her.

Kanzaki Kaori. Her reality was one that involved her sacrificing her life for that ordinary high school boy.

Darren Hersham. His reality involved trying to kill that high school boy however that had changed to the Saint Kanzaki Kaori. All so that he would ascend to the position of Saint himself.

"Kanzaki Kaori…Darren Hersham." Said Kamijou as he glared at the scene in front of him. "If you think that I'll allow you to have a reality where only you are satisfied-"

Kamijou Touma took that first step that allowed his to approach those two insanely powerful magicians.

"THEN LET ME DESTROY THOSE STUPID ILLUSIONS OF YOURS!" he yelled as he ran forward.


Kanzaki Kaori and Darren Hersham looked at the boy that was running towards them. They had both heard what he had said and Kanzaki realized her mistake.

There was no way that this was the correct ending. Kamijou Touma had worked hard to aim for the best ending. And he had achieved it. With Index, with Orsola Aquinas, with the Queen of the Adriatic Sea, with WWIII. All of those times, Kamijou aimed for that ending where everyone was happy. And yet here was an ending that Kanzaki had chosen.

And Kamijou Touma was angry that such an ending had to exist.

"You are not a part of this battle boy!" yelled Darren. "Sectator124! The Great Hero's Lance! Strike!" Darren shouted his sorcery name as he swung the blade that he held, it glowing crimson red.

No-one had time to react as the blade of air that came from the blade moved faster than Kamijou could block. As such, it cut through the air-

-and through Kamijou Touma's right arm. It lopped off like a limp doll and Kamijou fell forward, skidding on the ground as where his arm bled in large bursts. Kanzaki looked at the scene in shock.

"What….?" She said as she looked at the fallen Kamijou. He was just lying there, not moving. Why wasn't he moving? Could he be?

Kanzaki paused and then moved for her nodachi however her pause had been her downfall. Darren had moved faster, that blade with a crimson shine against her neck.

"He's not going to die." Said Darren. "I no longer need him as an enemy. It is you who will die today." Darren raised his sword and prepared to swing it down.

Numerous thoughts filled Kanzaki's mind. What would happen with Kamijou Touma? Stiyl had told her about the battle with the alchemist and how he had his arm chopped off, yet Stiyl had never said that he had collapsed. Instead, the opposite had happened; Kamijou Touma had stayed standing. So, now that he had fallen, what would happen?

She never finished the thought. However it was not because Kamijou Touma suddenly appeared, blocking the blade. It was not Kamijou Touma who appeared. It was something else did.

Kanzaki shivered. What the hell was it? Even through her times as a Saint and magician, never had she come across such a presence. It was….terrifying. That was the only explanation, only word that came to her mind. She felt like a child that had seen the Bogeyman in real life.

And that presence was coming from the direction of the fallen Kamijou Touma. Darren Hersham had sensed it too and turned to look at the fallen Kamijou.

Something was there. Neither magician knew what the hell it was but it was there. Coming from that boy's right arm. An Invisible Thing was there and no-one said a thing.

And that was when Kamijou Touma stood up. However he did so without moving. He didn't bend his arms and knees and stand up like a normal person. Almost as if someone had attached strings to him and pulled him up. His head was hung so the magicians couldn't see his face or his expression.

However that was not the end. Kamijou Touma moved closer towards them. And he did so without moving. Almost as if he were on a conveyer belt, Kamijou Touma moved closer towards them, feet scraping on the gravel of the road.

"What the hell is this?!" yelled Darren. "The Great Hero's Lance! Strike!" Darren swung that same blade that was crimson and a blade of air headed straight for Kamijou.

And then the Invisible Thing moved. There was a distortion of the air and just as the blade was in front of Kamijou, it disappeared. The cut that was appearing on the ground just stopped as if someone or something had removed the strike, almost like the Imagine Breaker ability hung in the air where that boy's right arm has been. And still Kamijou's head was hung.

He came closer and closer until all of a sudden he stopped. And then, a part of the intense pressure relived a bit. Some of it just disappeared, no explanation given. That was when another change occurred. Kamijou Touma looked up.

Almost as if before, he had lost consciousness and now had regained it, he looked up. His expression was one of confusion at first, as if he didn't know how he had gotten where he was even though he was the one who had moved. However, it was Darren that snapped him out of it.

"What the fuck are you!? The Great Hero's Lance! Thrust!" Darren moved his blade forward. "This reality is mine to hold! I am St George the II!" he yelled as the blade of air that accompanied his strike moved forward.

The strike approached Kamijou however it dispersed before it hit him. The only thing that could explain was that Kamijou's blood seemed to burst from that arm at a faster rate. It was like a hose faucet had been turned onto full and blood gushed out.

But that blood did not fall onto the ground. It hung in the air, almost as if space had been distorted to prevent it from falling to the ground. More and more blood came out and soon, it began to take shape. It was a horrifying shape that Kanzaki Kaori and Darren Hersham have only seen in legends.

It's the head of a Dragon. The blood gives it color as it also gives it shape, the more blood coming out making it bigger. Teeth formed and its 'skin' began to have a peculiar shine, almost as if scales are really there.

Kanzaki looked in shock at the scene. Has Darren reached the level where his magic could alter reality just like Ars Magna? Darren dropped his one and only weapon as he backed away.

He had wanted to defeat a Dragon. If he slays that Dragon, it will elevate him to that level known as Saint. However, the creature in front of him is more than that.

It's the embodiment of terror. It is a creature that is depicted as being the ultimate obstacle, the ultimate villain, in a hero's quest. The Dragon King that is in front of Darren right now is the key. If he can defeat that there is no question what level Darren will reach.

But he couldn't do it. Darren had said that he would defeat that Dragon known as the Imagine Breaker and then the Dragon known as Kanzaki Kaori. But what's in front of him made him tremble in fear. How can such a creature exist?

The Dragon King watched Darren Hersham with its cold eyes, almost mocking the pathetic excuse of a man that he had become. Kanzaki stayed in her kneeling position, hoping that those eyes do not come her way. She has fought numerous monsters before, but nothing like this.

Darren takes a step back and that's when it happens. The Dragon King let out a mighty roar that resonated inside the armor that Darren wore and causing Kanzaki to cover her ears.

The Dragon King doesn't have that ability known as Sound Waver but all the glass in the area breaks as the mere roar manages to do smash all the glass. Darren whimpered inside his armor and watched as the Dragon King came closer.

"SSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTT!" screamed Darren as he turned and began to step back. Darren didn't care anymore. Saint? If that means that he has to face a creature that is in front of him, he doesn't strive for that. The fear clouds his judgment and doubt appears in his mind.

But that Dragon King doesn't allow his escape. Opening its mouth wide, it thrusts forward, Kamijou Touma merely watching as the Dragon King that comes from his right arm moves forward.

Darren Hersham can't escape. That's the only thought that he had while screaming as the Dragon King bites down on the armor, crushing it like a paper cup and eating Darren Hersham's illusions alive.


Kamijou Touma slowly opened his eyelids. He groaned as he felt the familiar bed underneath him. He sat up and looked around the room. Index is no longer on the edge of the bed. However there is someone else inside the room.

Kanzaki Kaori looks at Kamijou with a concerned expression.

"How are you feeling?" asked Kanzaki. Kamijou rubs his head. He actually feels much better. And of course, the thing that is completely cured is that leg of his. That in itself is a relief to Kamijou.

"Fine." Said Kamijou. "What about you?" he asked.

Personally Kanzaki was terrified at the moment. In that span of time that that Dragon King appeared, she had never been so terrified. And when the Dragon King had eaten Darren Hersham, she had merely watched.

"Hmm." She responded, as she looked at Kamijou's arm that is now in a cast. There's one question on her mind that she has to ask. "What was that thing?"

Kamijou tilted his head. "What thing?" he asked innocently. Then almost as if Kamijou remembered something important, he edged closer to Kanzaki. "What happened with Darren?!" he practically yelled. "Did you beat him?"

Kanzaki blinked. "You….don't remember?" he asked partially shocked.

Kamijou scratched his head. "Well I remember that I had my right arm chopped off. And that was it. What happened?" Kanzaki merely blinked as she was asked a question that she doesn't have the answer to either.

Yet seeing, Kamijou's carefree attitude, Kanzaki smiled a tiny bit. That ending was reached again.

"What are you smiling about?" asked Kamijou. "What happened?"

Kanzaki stood up and headed towards the door. "Darren Hersham has been detained and is going to be taken to the Anglican headquarters." She said. "I have no idea what his punishment will be though." She added. Indeed, the Dragon King had more of an effect than she thought. After Darren was eaten and she extracted him from his armor, he had a twisted expression on his face and began laughing despite his wounds. Part of his kidney had a large hole in it and other parts of his body were grotesquely punctured. Almost as if something had taken a bite out of him. Literally.

But he just kept on laughing. He kept on laughing and laughing and laughing. There was no need to check for any mental damage. After all, Darren Hersham had lost his mind.

Kamijou nodded after hearing what she had to say. "Well thanks Kanzaki. And I'm sorry for all the trouble that I caused."

Kanzaki frowned slightly. This boy had prevented her death, done practically all of the work, yet was apologizing? Kanzaki felt that the debt that she owed him had grown a great deal.

She nodded his direction. "It is I who should be thanking you Kamijou Touma. Now if you will excuse me, I have to go. I don't want to meet Tsuchimikado right now….." Kanzaki turned towards the door and headed out.

Kamijou watched as Kanzaki Kaori, the Fallen Angel Ero Maid, left his room in a hurry that he couldn't explain and looked down at his arm that was in a cast.

He had lied. He did remember what had happened after he had his arm chopped off. He had blacked out and then regained conscious except for some reason when he did he was standing up and standing closer to the magicians that he had remembered.

And then that Dragon had formed on his arm. Kamijou looked at that arm in cast, a question that had gone through his head numerous times appearing again.

Just what was Imagine Breaker? And what was that Thing in his arm?

Kamijou's thoughts were interrupted as a voice came from the door.

"TOUMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" cried a familiar freeloader and Kamijou reacted on instinct. He picked up his pillow yet could not escape the biting attack that ravaged his body. "Just what do you think you're doing escaping from hospital again!?" Index yelled. "And when you get back, your arm was cut off!"

Another voice from behind Index spoke. "Although your leg is fine, I had to stitch up your arm again. You really shouldn't escape from hospital when you're injured you know?" Kamijou lets out a little chuckle as he looks at the frog-faced doctor.

"DON'T JUST LAUGH IT OFF TOUMA!" yelled Index as she bit down on Kamijou's head.

"Wah! Stop it Index! I can't block you with this arm so stop it!" The frog-faced doctor smiled as he watched the scene. Although he had no intention of telling his patient, that nun had been distraught when she had found that he was gone.

And when she had finally managed to see him again, he thought she would burst into tears from the sight of that right arm separate from his body. They had received little explanation from the girl that brought him in and that girl looked as concerned as the nun had.

Still, Kamijou Touma was alright and that was the main thing.

That ending had been reached once again.


Kanzaki Kaori frowned. She was heading back to London on a plane, an eerie laughing being heard from where she sat on the plane from the cargo hold.

When that Dragon King appeared, she had never seen anything like it in her entire life. That just made her wonder, just what was that ability Imagine Breaker? And what did it mean that Kamijou Touma was holding it in his right hand?

Kanzaki didn't know, the question still puzzling her. However another question came to mind. It had come from the man who was now laughing in the cargo hold.

Just what is he to you?

She knew exactly what others, specifically Tsuchimikado Motoharu, would say. And that idea pissed her off. But still, the idea itself merited some thought. Even if she did l…..l…..l…..lo….lov-

Her face blushing, Kanzaki picked up the glass of water that lay in one hand and threw it hard against the wall of the plane, thankful that no-one had seen such an act.

Her breathing was heavy.

"Damn you Tsuchimikadooooooooooooooooo oo! Putting such ideas into my heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee aaaaaaaaaaad!"

Even the pilot heard that cry from the cockpit. He paled as he looked at the package that lay on the co-pilots seat. Just before he had met his passengers, a mysterious student with blond hair and sunglasses had appeared in front of him and told him to give it to her.

"Nya~" he had said. "Tell her that I don't think as highly of her as I did. Poor Kami-yan was so distraught that the Fallen Angel Ero Maid didn't make a second appearance! So here's a deluxe package of the Hyper Ero Fallen Angle Maid outfit! Make sure to give it to her nya~?"

The pilot looked at the package and remembered that conversation. But somehow he felt that is he gave it to her now; there would be no survival rate.

So how would he deliver it to her?


And that'd be the end. What did you think of the mystery? Although this fic is mostly about the mystery of a certain unknown Level 0, the one mystery in the actual series is about that ability in his right hand. Although Ollerus told Kamijou what it was to the Magic Side, just what is it? And that Invisible Thing?

Along with the scene from Volume 2 that has had much speculation, I think I did well. As for Darren's sorcery name Follower in Latin is Sectator.

Anyway that'd be the end for a magician arc for now. Next story will be focus on MINUS and a certain person that many people want to see so don't worry! But it won't be that big operation they were planning. That will be later…

As for other stories, I've come up with some for some characters however I might be tempted to repeat some in order to keep the story going.

And as always,
Review, if you please.
