Sorry I've been gone for so long and didn't mean to take so long to upload a new chapter. I've been busy with school, some health issues (it's not serious so don't worry), and on-going problems with my life. I don't want to make a fuss over it but stuff in my real life may need to be prioritized before I can start writing this story. Even in summer I'm busy (T-T)... I hope the people reading this can patiently wait or understand why I'm taking so long to write (^_^"). Please, enjoy the story...

-Windowless Building-

The doctor known as Heaven Canceller, leisurely strode up to Aleister Crowley and exchanged pleasantries while providing his findings to the Superintendent of Academy City. He held up the clipboard and read to the magician about the test results regarding a certain Persona user.

"…I came back with some results but I can't really make a conclusion as of now," the doctor stated.

The elderly physician read through the test results and flipped through the pages. In his hands, he held Minato Arisato's medical files and couldn't make sense of the strange AIM Field that was emitting from his patient. Nonetheless he had a theory in mind thanks to a thorough search into [Invalid Entry]'s familial and medical history.

"…While I can't make any solid conclusions," he puts down the clipboard and huffed a sigh, "I do have a theory in mind. Although, I believe you may already have an idea what it is."

"Please enlighten me, my friend," Aleister spoke in a relaxed tone, "I do wish to have some confirmation."

Heaven Canceller scratched the back of his head and glanced up to the man in the life support system.

"According to his personal files, Minato Arisato was involved in an explosion that had killed his parents nine years ago around midnight…"

Although he didn't show it, the doctor felt sympathy for the young man but he continued with his findings.

"It is very possible that Minato-kun was a Gemstone esper before the accident but something must've altered his Personal Reality which created an abnormal AIM Field."

"What makes you say that?"

The doctor paused for a moment.

"Although it was faint, there were signs of multiple brain wavelengths in all four categories and there's seems to be a multilayer of AIM Fields encircling him. Furthermore, he shows signs of AIM Diffusion Field Resonance, but he is perfectly healthy with no visible signs of RSPK Syndrome. In other words, he is connected to some sort of network…"

Aleister was bemused at the information given to him. He then sensed a potent surged off into the distance and smiled.

"It seems that a fascinating ability has emerged…"

July 20th:

8:34 PM.

-Junpei Iori-

"Hello? Minato are you there?" Junpei Iori tried calling Minato's number several times, but all he received was a voice mailbox.

Ever since summer vacation begun, Junpei had agreed to hang out with Minato but the lethargic youth was nowhere to be found, which made him a bit disgruntled after waiting at the arcade for an hour. He would've asked Chidori, the love of his life, to hang out with him but she had something work-related to do. To which he was more exasperated. When it didn't seem like Minato would show up, he decided to go home. When he got to the dormitories, to his astonishment, there were sirens blurring and a Judgment member approached him, asking if he knew anything.

"Uh, I was out tonight," Junpei hesitantly answered, "What the hell happened here?"

The person in front of him had white hair and wore a red vest over a dress shirt and black pants. On his arm was the Judgment band. Junpei thought the person in front of him looked familiar but his thoughts were interrupted.

"It looks like someone activated the sprinkler system. We're currently looking into it," sighed the white haired Judgment member, "According to a passing bartender however, they claimed that they heard shouting and fighting on the eighth floor."

Junpei was surprised to see a public moral committee member, known as Judgment, to appear at the dorms. Normally, Anti-Skill handles this sort of thing. His mind however, was preoccupied with wondering why would there be two espers fighting it out in the middle of the night. It was probably something stupid, he thought, and almost dismissed it as such. That is, until he realized that his friend was absent and happened to live on that floor.

"Are you okay?" asked the Judgment Member.

He ignored him and bolted towards the stairway of the dorm.

"Hey, you can't go in there just yet!" the white haired guy shouted, "Wait!"

He ignored the shouting and continued to run up the steps. He finally stopped in front of the blue haired boy's room and tried to turn the locked doorknob.

"Minato!" he hollered, "You in there?!"

He then pulled out his phone and dialed the number but there was no connection. He looked around and attempted to find a clue of some kind.

The Judgment member finally caught up to him.

"What's the matter with you?"

Junpei spurned around to face the Judgment member.

"Have you seen a blue haired guy about this high and wearing headphones? He also has this blank, lifeless look in his eyes? My friend lives on the eighth floor but he's been missing since six o' clock!"

Junpei was gesturing raucously and spoke rapidly that the Judgment member couldn't keep up. The disciplinarian held his hand up in front of Junpei and attempts to calm him down.

"Please calm down, did you try and contact them?"

Junpei breathed in once and tried to tell the Judgment member all he can.

"He's usually on time and I've been calling him all night but there's been no answer…"

The judgment member sighed and opened a small notebook and pen.

"Well, what's your friend's name? And when did you guys agreed to meet up?"

"His name is Minato Arisato and we had plans to meet up around 6:30 PM…"

"Minato…?" the white haired boxer muttered and widen his eyes. He turn to Junpei, "You know Minato?"

Junpei was about to ask how he knew their missing acquaintance but was interrupted.

"Never mind that, you said he was supposed to meet you around six?"

"Uh, yeah, we were supposed to meet up around six but he didn't show up. I was at the arcade for about two hours."

The cap wearing boy noticed that the Judgment member muttering something about "data" and "missing." He then knelt down and looked at an odd spot on the ground. Junpei continued to watch him putting on gloves and using a swab to pick up the reddish brown substance while placed it in the bag. The authoritarian eyes widen as he examined the contents and he ran off.

"Wait what's going on?!" Junpei exclaimed.

"Call Branch 177 and asked for Akihiko's number! I promised to explain later!"

Junpei stood there and not knowing what to do. He thought it was too much of a coincidence. There was a struggle at the dorms, and his friend was missing. He then looked at the ground and noticed that there were still flakes of the strange substances that the Judgment member picked up. He then realized it was the same color as dried up blood. It was odd considering that the cleaning robots missed a spot but that was beside the point. Something happened to Minato.

He shook his head, hoping it was just rust or it was just part of the aftermath of conflict that his friend hadn't been a part of. He paused and then exhaled a breath. He figured he was tired and needed to rest up. With any luck, he thought, it was merely his supposition of the situation. That his friend was okay.

July 22nd:

Junpei was yawning for he didn't sleep well last night. In the morning he knocked on Minato's door and there was no one there. He talked to his fellow dorm mates but they haven't a clue. It was also odd that Kamijou was missing as well, but considering his bad, or rather "good luck" with women, Junpei wasn't as concern when Motoharu Tsuchimikado told him that "Kamiyan" was at a "lady's place" and doing okay. He didn't pried any further.

On July 21st, he called the 774 Branch of Judgment but a girl named Uihara told him that Akihiko-Senpai wasn't in but gave him the white haired upperclassman's number. When he called the number, no one picked up. After calling three times, he decided he would spend his time looking for the blue haired youth.

Now, the cap-wearing boy was sitting at a café, resting from a long day. All morning he searched for any signs of Minato and places where he could have been. It wasn't likely that he was at District 7, since Junpei as well as most students, also lived around there as well. He didn't spot him in District 6, the Recreational area. District 4, where there was a lot of restaurants, the headphone wearing boy was nowhere to be seen. In the end, Junpei decided to take a break.

Out of nowhere, he saw a frog mascot handing out balloons and waving at him. He then hesitantly waved back wondering if it was a classmate wearing the suit. To him, the sight was quite odd since mascots are usually in another district. Another bizarre thing happened when a middle school student asked him if she could take a picture with him. The uniform looked familiar. Then he sympathized with the person in the mascot costume when they were being harassed by children.

"Oh, you look bored Junpei."

He turned around and saw Yukari Takebe and a girl with green hair greeting him. Yukari was wearing a pink tank top and jeans while the other girl wore a turquoise sundress.

"Hey, Yuka-tan!" he smirked, "Enjoying the sun?"

"How many times do I have to say not to call me that," she chided with a sigh.

She then turn and introduced the girl next to her.

"This is Fuuka Yamagishi," she gestured to Fuuka and introduced him absentmindedly, "This is just someone I know…"

"Hey, at least introduced me properly!" Junpei grumbled and turn to Fuuka with a welcoming smile, "I'm Junpei Iori, nice to meet you."

The girl simply waved and gave a small smile while introducing herself. Normally, Junpei would be glad to meet another cute girl but as it stands, he just wasn't in the mood. To which Yukari picked up on.

"Something wrong Junpei? Normally, you'd get overly friendly and hit on her."

"I don't hit on every girl I meet," he denied abruptly, "I'm just… tired."

He sighed and slouched into his seat while the girls didn't know what to do with him. When they were about to ask what's wrong, he interrupted them.

"Do you girls want something to drink, my treat," he grinned.

Yukari deliberated while Fuuka was reluctant to accept the sudden invitation. She then turn to the pink-wearing friend. They relented since they had nothing better to do.

"Alright, I'll have some coffee," Yukari sighed.

"Tea for me please," Fuuka smiled awkwardly.

Junpei then got up while the girls sat down. He went into the cafe to get their orders and came back after five minutes. He gave them their drinks and sat down. He overheard their conversations regarding rumors.

"…Have you heard about the bridge?" Fuuka began.

"Yeah, supposedly, a car blow up due to poor maintenance," said Yukari.

"Some people are saying it was the Blue Hood that did it."

"Blue Hood?" Yukari repeated in a questioning tone.

Yukari attempted to recollect if there was such information. She then widen her eyes in remembrance.

"Oh, you mean that rumor that sprang up recently…"

Junpei walks in and spoke in a haunting tone.

"They say a blue hooded figure will only appear at night, wandering around the alleyways. This person wields a katana, slashing and hunting any unwary prey. No one knows the identity or gender of this person. In fact it's very possible that this person is simply a ghost…"

"How childish," Yukari scoffed, "It's only just a rumor."

"What, I'm just saying what I've heard," Junpei retorted, "Besides, wasn't Kamijou the esper that nullified all abilities? And the other rumor was Minato, causing the computer scans to go haywire? "

"Those are only coincidences," Yukari quickly refuted.

As the cap-wearing boy huffed at the retort, he then smiled, recollecting a particular information.

"Ah, I see now. Don't tell me you're scared of ghost stories?"

Yukari glared at Junpei, to which he flinched and decided to drop it as he sits down. He then placed the drinks on the table. She continued to glare at him until she sighed and slouched in her chair, grabbing her drink.

"If you're making horrible jokes, then that means you're probably doing okay. I was a fool to worry…" Yukari took a taste of her coffee. She turn her attention to Fuuka, "Why bring this up?"

"Oh, no reason in particular," Fuuka hesitantly smiled, "I heard that there were people who witnessed a blue hooded figure leaving the scene nearby the bridge when the explosion had occurred."

"Geez, I'm sure it's some guy in a jacket. I mean blue isn't that of uncommon color for jackets…"

As the two girls talked about the urban legends revolving around the city, Level upper. Yukari doubted the existence of such a thing while Fuuka was restating what other's might think it really is.

Meanwhile, Junpei contemplated whether or not if should tell them anything. He wasn't particularly close to Minato but he is his friend and there is a possibility that the blue-haired youth was in trouble. The problem is, if there really is a problem at all. This all based on the assumption that Minato is in trouble but it has to be more than a coincidence that Minato called Junpei to hang out and suddenly disappeared. There was also the fight, and blood at the doorsteps which seems that it was more than simply by chance. At least, this is within his own thoughts regarding the situation.

"Yuka-tan, Yamagishi-san, there's something I want to talk about," Junpei spoke in a grim tone. He decided to not brood over it alone and just come out and say it.

"It's not official yet, but Minato's missing."

"What?!" Yukari bellowed out in shock. While Fuuka shared the same expression as her pink-wearing friend.

"What do you mean it's not official? What happened?!"

Junpei scratched the back of his head and attempt to articulate a response.

"Last night, I was supposed to hang out with Minato but he didn't show up. I figured he either forgot or was busy with something, so I went home. But when I got there, Judgment was there to investigate a fire. They figured it was two espers fighting it out. However, it was on Minato's floor."

Junpei told his side of the story of the events that had occurred last night.

"Are you sure Minato-kun's involved?" Fuuka hesitantly asked.

"I'm not sure if he's involve with that incident or not but the Judgment member who seems to know Minato. However, he ran off when he found something that resembles blood…"

The girls both look at each other with concern and remembering a certain action their mutual friend's odd mannerism. Junpei continued to recall the events from the other night. He positioned his elbows on the table and put his hands together in a thinking pose.

"I don't know if Minato is caught up with some incident or not but him missing doesn't help. Hell, I don't even know if he is involve with anything."

He slumped back into his seat and slouched a bit.

"I think… Minato-kun's involve in something," Fuuka voiced out her apprehensions, "The other day, he needed to borrow my laptop to look at some data that was strangely worded. I didn't understand what was in it but Minato seems to know what the experiment entails. He rushed off in a hurry afterwards."

"Yeah, he was more peculiar than usual," Yukari nodded.

Junpei stood up and got tired of just doing nothing for it isn't his way of doing things.

"That's it! No more standing around. I'm going to go back to look for more clues!"

"Please hold on, Iori-san," Fuuka, urged, "Didn't the Judgment member say to call him?"

"Yeah, I called the office and got the number, but he isn't answering now."

He then swiftly went off while the girls got up.

"Wait up Junpei, we're tagging along. Something tells me that there is something much bigger going on," Yukari stood up, "Besides, Minato owes us an explanation anyways for freaking out."

The three of them nodded to each other and decided to go to the scene of the crime. However unbeknownst to them, a figure in a Gekota mascot outfit observed the trio and submerged into the shadows.

Junpei, Yukari, and Fuuka arrived at the dorms and met a maid riding a cleaning robot.

"Hello, what brings you here today?"

"You are… Tsuchimikado-san's little sister?" Junpei phrased hesitantly.

"You are correct," she smiled kindly.

The three of them introduced themselves to Maika Tsuchimikado. Although Junpei declared himself as ace detective, Yukari decided to do the questioning instead since she couldn't trust him to ask the right questions. To which Junpei declared Yukari as his assistant. She held herself back from throttling the cap-wearing boy and decided to focus on the objective. While Fuuka decided to let them handle everything until they needed help.

"Excuse me but may I ask a question?"

"What is it, Takeba-sama?"

Yukari was uncomfortable being addressed in such a formal manner but she ignored the feeling in favor of her inquiry.

"Have you seen a blue-haired young man with headphones?"

"Arisato-sama? I have not seen him but I have seen people going in and out of his room today."

"Huh?" Junpei scratched the back of his head, "That's weird, when I visited, the door was locked…"

Yukari attempt to fish for more information.

"What kind of people?" She asked.

"Well, there was this female elevator attendant that skipped along and opened his door, humming something about a big nose."

"Was there anything else that was odd?"

"Hmm, there were two men, one of them a bartender and the other a bell boy, who went into his room. However, I think all three of them are related and the bartender is Minato's roommate."

"Minato has a roommate?" Junpei asked incredulously.

The trio weren't sure why Minato was acquainted with a bartender. In fact, none of them were too sure what Minato did in his free time or who he hangs out with it. The more they dig into the music loving teen, the more strange things they found out about him. They realized they really do not know much about the person they are looking for.

"Is he having a cosplay party…?"

"Be quiet Junpei," Yukari deadpanned, "Was there anyone else who entered Minato's room?"

"There was a pretty girl in a sky-blue sundress who visited the room but quickly left with a bag."

The three of them weren't sure what to think of the elevator attendant, bell boy, bartender, and the girl but it seemed strange that Minato was getting visits, considering he appeared to be more of an unsociable person. At least when they were at school, that's what their first impressions of him was.

"I think I got it guys,' Junpei deduced, "Minato is a secret agent. However, he was targeted and has gone into incognito. The people visiting were enemy spies that wanted the data that he had stolen! The question is, what was in the data that's so valuable…"

"Okay, whatever," Yukari disregarded Junpei's deduction and continue her investigation, "By the way, do you live here?"

"I only come over to help out my older brother," Maika jauntily explained.

"Then you're here often…"

"That's correct."

"Oh, I also saw two other people in black suits visiting today."

The three of them froze when the little maid mentioned two people in black suits visited.

"…Thank you for answering our questions today Tsuchimikado-san," Yukari bowed. The others followed suit in thanking the maid in training.

"It's no problem after all, it is a maid's duty to help the master," she said as the cleaning robot roamed off into the distance.

Yukari turn to Fuuka.

"Fuuka…" she whispered and hinted to the teal-haired girl. Although Fuuka was reluctant to use her ability she complied.

Fuuka decided to use her ability, Level 3, Clairvoyance. She glanced at Minato's room. Fuuka feels a little guilty for invading another person's privacy but she knows that the headphone wearing boy was a kind person and she knows that something odd was going on. She saw two individuals that there were searching for something.

"T-There are two people looking through Arisato-kun's room," Fuuka informed the rest of them.

Yukari ran up to the door, apologizing in advanced using her ability to twist the doorknob opened.

The trio saw two individuals who were about their age but in business suits of sorts. The guy's suit was wrinkly while the girl's was more straightened out.

"Kenji," she spoke in annoyed tone, "I thought you said you set up a boundary field to ward off anyone that comes near this room…"

"Hey, I was never good with that sort of thing," the guy defensively retorted, "Besides Rio, my specialty is using runes to fight not create barriers…"

"Who are you guys? What are you doing in our pal's room," Junpei cautiously glared.

The two of them looked at each other and both nodded at the same time. They twist their heels and sprinted towards the window. Junpei after chase them but when he reached the balcony they both jumped off. He looked over the balcony and they were gone.

"Dammit, what's going on here?!" Junpei slammed his fist the railing.

"Please calm down Junpei-san," Fuuka attempted to calm her new acquaintance.

The cap-wearing boy tried to comply with her request with a heavy sigh and leaned against the railings.

"Man, what did Minato get himself into?" He muttered.

"Guys, I think I found something…" Yukari called over.

Junpei and Fuuka went up to Yukari, who was holding onto a clean note written on it was:

Be careful, she's in town now and wants to meet you tomorrow at 6 PM at this address…

The epistle included an address in District 17, the switchyard. It was an odd location to meet up at considering it was a place that transport cargo. Furthermore, it was signed with the names, William and the other name was smudged. The only thing they could make out of it was Eliz. Three of them looked at each other if they know anyone with those names. None of them did.

"Looks like we found our lead then," Yukari stated.

"What are we waiting for?" Junpei quickly headed for the door.

"C'mon, let's go!"

As he rushed through the doorway, Yukari yanked his arm back, which made him yelp and almost fall.

"Huh? What's wrong, Yuka-tan?"

"Calm down," Yukari sighed, "We'll find our answers tomorrow and I'm beat…"

"We should call it in for today…" Fuuka suggested, "It's already 5 o'clock."

Junpei eyes lit up.

"We're gonna have a stakeout! I'm in charge of the snacks!"

"Junpei, that's not why we're doing this…"

The three of them planned amongst themselves in order to find out what happened to their friend. As they walked out of the room, a person in the frog suit standing on the roof, observing the whole scene.

"Aren't you going to greet them?"

William walked towards the person.

"Or are you going to keep them out of these events?"

The person did not say anything but proceeded to their next location.

"Still as unsociable as ever. Hard to believe you've forgotten something so important…"

-Akihiko Sanada-

July 20th:

9:12 PM.

Akihiko rushed back to the Branch 177 office and opened the door violently.

Today, he and Minato decided to end their meeting around 4 o'clock in the evening today. The events of the fighting must've had taken placed when Minato went to his apartment between 5 to 7 when he was getting ready to meet with Junpei but was ambushed. In other words, either STREGA, ITEM, or an unidentified group got to him first because of the data the blue haired boy acquired. It was most likely the former, he thought.

"What was in that data that you've found?" the boxer muttered to himself in frustration.

"Akihiko?"

He turn to find the owner of the voice that called out to him. It was Mii Konori.

"Did you need something?"

"Mii-san, how fast can we analyze this blood sample?"

Akihiko handed the bag with the cotton swab to Mii.

"Blood? Where did you get this?" she asked in apprehension.

"There was a fire at the dorms in District 7. One of the inhabitants ran up to the scene and knocked on the door. I found this at their friend's doorway."

He gestured to the bag.

"That friend was the person with me earlier to give me evidence to analyze regarding that case I've been working on for a long time."

"You mean Arisato-san?"

"I'm not sure if this is his blood but I've tried calling him as well as I ran here. His phone isn't working and he was supposed to meet up with someone. Usually when I meet with him, he is always punctual. There's something going on here and I don't like it."

Akihiko tighten his grip. He refuse to lose another person in front of him.

"Akihiko-san, the closest time we can identify the blood sample at least 1 or 2 days but if it isn't Arisato-san then it might take longer."

"Alright, I'll continue to—."

Akihiko began to patrol and look for his friend but the bespectacled girl interrupted him.

"And you'll head home and get some rest."

The white-haired boxer was about to argue with her but she gave him a stern and motherly glare.

"Alright," he conceded, "I'll get some rest…"

"As an athlete, it is imperative that you get proper sleep," she lectured and smiled, "Don't worry Akihiko, we'll find him but don't be reckless."

"I got it, I got it."

He left through the office doors and looked at the stars. Hoping that his blue-haired friend was safe.

-Mitsuru Kirijō-

July 21st:

12:03 PM.

Mitsuru took a stroll in order to relax from a tire day at Nagatenjouki Academy in District 18. Despite it being summer, it does not necessarily mean that the student council will slack off. Especially since the academy is prestigious. The dark scarlet-haired girl sighed. Being the next heir to the Kirijō Group, an organization that specialized in machinery and the student council was a lot of work. So on her rare free times, she decided to take a break and look around in the District 7. She found the place to be more relaxing than her school district. It felt suffocating to in there.

As she was relaxing something caught her eyes. In an alleyway there was a person in a frog suit staring at her. She felt beckoned for some reason and she glanced at her hand. She flexes them and checked if here senses were in working order. Cautiously, she got closer to see if it wasn't a mannequin or a trap of some sort.

"Mitsuru Kirijō…"

The person in the suit was using a voice synthesizer to disguise their voice. She remain firm and strictly gaze at the person before her.

"Who are you?"

The person in a frog mascot suit handed her a large envelope.

"These are important documents concerning the Kirijō Group and STREGA."

"STREGA? What is STREGA and what does this have to do with the Kirijō Group?"

The person I the Gekota suit paused.

"… I see, so you have no idea what's going on. That is, the dark side of Academy city."

"What game are you playing at? Who are you?"

The person tossed the large packet to Mitsuru. She caught it and looked at it in confusion. While the person before turn around to leave.

"All of your answers are in that envelope but be careful, secrets are secrets because someone wishes for them to be that way."

"Why should I believe you?" she retorted.

"That's up to you to decide so. In fact, burn the packet and pretend that this whole thing was a charade. Open it, and you'll not be able to return to those normal days. The life you've been living up to now."

Mitsuru blinked and the person disappeared but not before leaving one message behind and revealing their true voice.

"I'm sorry, I didn't want to get you involved…"

It was a soothing voice but a sad and mournful one.

She looked behind her, but there was no one there. Alone, she decided to open the envelope, anticipating the eldritch truth within it's contents.

July 22st:

-Unknown-

A young man in a yellow scarf and suspenders was astonished by the technological advances that the city had developed.

"Whoa, this place is so interesting! I can't wait to explore this place!"

A girl in a business suit, Rio Iwasaki, reprimand her superior and reminded him of their objective.

"Thanatos-sama, please remember why we're here."

Standing next to her was Kenji Tomochika, a childhood friend and her fellow coworker. His suit was sloppily worn.

"All work and no play? C'mon Rio, there's plenty of time before the meeting starts…"

"That is no excuse to play around when we've infiltrated this place," she chided, "We must remained vigilant, and another thing, wear your suit properly. We don't want our superior's friend to see us as indecorous and slovenly. Come here."

She was adjusting her friend's/crushes' tie, much to his protest.

"Hmm, maybe we should talk to the Necessarius first and say we're not here to fight but to visit," the young man hummed, "Or we should go sightseeing. What do you think?"

He turned to a girl in a red raincoat to which she smiled.

"I just can't wait to meet my big brother…"

{Unfinished Bonus Scene}

July 24th:

-Touma Kamijou-

Touma was being attacked by a swordswoman named Kaori Kanzaki. After being told of the story of Index's memories being erased again and again. As well as the purpose of doing so which led to Index thinking that Necessarius was her enemy.

"Trying to save her won't benefit you, surrender…"

He had heard enough…

"This is all wrong!" Touma refuted, "Chasing her down and erasing her memories. Cutting her down. Are you not her friend?!"

"You…" She glared at Touma, "You will never understand anything!"

With a wave of her sword, the ground thundered and turn into pieces of debris.

"Being forced to take her memories away or how Stiyl felt when watching you two!"

She slammed Touma in the neck with her sheath only to stop by another blade.

"Your sword was not forged to strike the innocent nor your friends…"

Touma was bewildered by the person that saved him. More so with his savior's appearance since he was in a children's mascot costume wielding a katana of sorts.

"Rest up, Touma-san. I'll take it from here…"

Author's Note: Thanks for reading~! Here it is, the 6th chapter, I even added a bonus unfinished scene. It's actually hard working with this plot since a lot of research and planning went into this. Although my knowledge regarding A Certain (To aru Majutsu no Index, need abbreviations...) series is pretty rusty. I decided to use third perspective for this whole chapter. So, what did you think? The reason why I went with the first person perspective in the beginning was to make it more challenging for me. Third perspective however allows me to get more details into the story but makes it much more longer and takes time. Should I do more in third or first perspective? Should I switch it up a bit? Please, tell me your opinions regarding these literary styles. Also, since when did I make this a multi crossover? I was unaware that I made any references to Code Geass and Fate/Stay Night. Please make a comment on where I did so.

Now about the plot, originally, Mitsuru was suppose to be the leader of STREGA in the last chapter, but I had second thoughts because I feel like I would paint myself in a corner and get more stuck. I was going to do Akihiko's perspective but I think I'll wait for that in future chapters (maybe not, I make no promises on that). I decided to use Junpei's perspective mostly because I thought it would be interesting to do so. Eventually, I'll be able to include characters from the To Aru something series in the next chapter hopefully. If i made any grammatical mistakes please forgive me on that and if there is anything confusing regarding the story, send me a PM. Now then...

Question Time~!

1: If you can be an Esper/Magician what would your abilities be?

2: Favorite weapon/fighting styles.

3: Third or First perspective for the story? Or mix it up a bit?

4: Evil plot to kidnapping a character? (If you haven't notice yet, last question is a joke. Don't answer it (-_-')...)

(Editing some errors sorry and thanks)
