After all of those signs started to appear around Academic City, the Judgment was arguing on whatever it was an organization, or maybe someone making a bad joke.
However, during the meeting, Kuroko Shirai stood up "We have to catch whoever is doing these symbols, because he has access to every place in this city, he can enter in every room or laboratory, he can steal every secret from this place and sell it to terrorist organizations, maybe"
No one believed her, until the next day, when some scientists involved in cruel experiments started to disappear without any trace, and their informations and data were stolen.
A new commission was held, and this time it was composed by the best secret agents of the CIA and the other secret services of intelligence, the only objective was to find out who was drawing the symbols, at any cost, and Kuroko Shirai became the Operative Chief of the organization, since she was the one who suggested it.
Meanwhile, Accelerator was talking for the last time with Tree Diagram "What are we going to do now? There is someone stealing things here and there in the city" and the computer declared "It is the magic organization I've been talking about, and as they grow in number, they also grow in power, and those symbols are like antennas to extend their power to certain areas, they are forming a Net, and I am tracing down the main nexus where all of the magic power is, as far as I can see it is like someone, someone powerful, gave a little power to some Level 0, like if they were "sucking" energy from him, and that's the normal magic, but somehow now it's happening the countrary, they are like his arms and fingers, and he use them to suck energy from the AIM field of this city, he is probably looking for Kazakiri now, because she IS the nexus of the AIM field of this city, she actually is pure information, pure idea, so if this organization finds her, they'll naturally absorb her, or maybe use her, as a nexus for their Net, and expand until they'll "eat" the whole AIM field of this city, at that point they might use her power to make this city as they want, as a virtual reality" Accelerator then asked "what are we waiting for? Let's save her" and Tree Diagram nodded (virtually) and coordinated the "saving up" of Kazakiri, which was standing with Index in Touma's house by the moment. But Tree Diagram thought "They did not appear, maybe they are hiding somewhere…..but where?"
The News on TV made an huge noise, and a voice declared "The ruins near place where the terrorist Esper had died had just disappeared, his body is nowhere to be found"
Tree Diagram felt shocked.
Ruins, ruins of an ancient tower who was as high as the sky itself, that tower which, one time, was high enough to go to the space, it was a symbol of science and progress, the main triumph of humanity, but it was built by a magician, that wanted to destroy the whole magic nexus of the world by using stars' positions and a powerful form of magic, and it was one of the best magic ever tried, but it failed, because Misaka, Accelerator, Touma and all the others stopped her, and so it was an huge fail, and now the tower was just a silent group of ruins, still high in the sky. Endymon.
Between those ruins, 100 people were standing, dressed with black mantles, they formed 3 concentric circles around a central mass of rocks, one of them was the one that talked to them.
They began to concentrate, and they used the words of magic that he was sending in their heads
"Synphax…..Tolomen…Wurofen…..Lafairea…..Nyux, Faberu!"
And the stones began to get hotter and hotter, until they were almost red and began to become fluid and assumes many forms, until they assumed, slowly, the shape of an human body, and then they got cool until a white statue was standing in the center of the circle, inside the old Endymon.
The statue now was talking with his own voice "Now go, draw more symbols, and the more they are near to this center, the more they have to be complicated as I'll tell you, so that they'll be more powerful to transmit our energy" And the 100 shadows disappeared, and the city was theater of justice that night too.
Othinus was the Majin, she was the most powerful Magician actually existing, the only one who could challenge her was Aleistar, which however was believed to be dead by that time.
Since she was so powerful, she sensed "that" days ago, but she was still wondering on the right course of action.
"That" was the sensation of something so powerful in Academic City that could encompass the whole magic world if it kept growing, no doubt it was an Esper, cause it emitted an AIM field, bust still there were mathemathical properties in the field that was forming around it, just like a spider created a web, it was not a confused and explosive web of a normal Esper, it was ordinate and coordinated as a magician would, a powerful one.
Power of Esper.
Control of Magician.
That was too much for her to control, it was the most dangerous thing of the world to her.
Still, Espers should have been loved by magicians, Magic was founded by Espers, Espers trained the first of them, fed them, taught them, and then disappeared, but the legend said that one of them was still alive, and would come back, and Magicians then, as their former students, would have to help him to rule the world, but they were just legends, and no one believed them: Magicians were the only one that were destined to rule the world, with no one above them exept for the Majin, and Othinus was the Majin.
Then, Espers appeared, their former masters, but magicians hated them all the way, and they still hated them because they didn't need to summon magical formulas to have powers, that was an historical hate, to their former masters.
And so, instead of helping them and raising them as their future masters, they kept hating them.
And now, one of them was using magic, and apparently he was creating a net, a complicated net that could absorb every trace of AIM power, but also magic power.
That was the prophecy, and it was being realized, but she could not believe it, she didn't want to
HE WAS NOT THE CHOSEN ONE.
She decided so, and then she immediately realized that the only way to fight such a powerful magic force was to call all of the most powerful magic of the world.
The Four of Rome, Acqua of the Back, Vento of the Front, Fiamma of the Right, Terra of the Left.
Every magician with enough power could communicate with the mind with any other, that was basic magic for someone as powerful as them, and so she called them all.
The five reunited, Othinus was at the center, and four chairs with four tables were on her front, on her back, on her left and on her right, and sitting behind them there were the Four of Rome.
Acqua of the Back thus spoke on "What does restrain from our intention to kill you istantly?"
Othinus just said "Because you also know that the Chosen may be back"
Vento of the Front shouted "Shut up! He cannot be the Last Esper, he is just a legendary character".
Othinus showed them the camp of power, and then the magical equations, even though they were not trained for that, they understood that it was impossible, bust still happened in front of their eyes.
Terra of the Left then spoke "Okay, you got it right, how can we stop him?"
Othinus declared "I am, even if you won't admit that, the strongest magician ever, If I can't defeat him, no one will, Or do you think that you may be able to do it alone? You may, of course, but we can be sure if we join our forces, you are, all together, the four most powerful magicians on the planet, you have the four elements on your side, If I can coordinate your magic power as he does with his symbols around the city, we will surely win, because the four element, aligned, are invincible, and you need someone to be the nexus, and who is better than me? The Majin, That's all I have to say".
They were all silent, they looked at each other, then they all looked to Fiamma of the Right, who was silent.
Then, after several minutes, he said "Time to take revenge on Academic City for ruining my plans then."
Things were set, and now the Five most powerful magicians were allied, against the force of Academic City.
