    It was the first day of summer vacation.\n
[00:33] ---
    A Sister, who had collapsed at my place,\nsaid that her name was Index.\n
[00:39] ---
    Apparently, she was being\npursued by a sorcery society.\n
[00:43] ---
    But give me a break.\nThis is Academy City, a town of science.\n

    "#02 Innocentius (The Witch Hunter King)"\n
[02:27] ---
    What is this?\n
[02:31] ---
    Stay with me here, Index!\n
[02:33] ---
    What happened?!\nJust who did this to you?!\n
[02:44] ---
    Hmm? It was us sorcerers. \n
[02:50] ---
    Hmm, they've gone and done\nanother really ugly number on her.\n
[02:54] ---
    Why?\n
[02:55] ---
    What was her reason for\ncoming back here? Who knows?\n
[02:59] ---
    Maybe she left something here.\n
[03:02] ---
    She was wearing a hood yesterday.\nNow where could she have dropped it?\n
[03:08] ---
    They searched out the magical\npower in her hood, and came here?\n
[03:13] ---
    Well then, will you accompany\nme into the depths of hell?\n
[03:18] ---
    She deliberately risked\nher safety to come back here\n
[03:22] ---
    to keep me, a total stranger,\nfrom getting caught up in all of this.\n
[03:26] ---
    The stupid fool!\n
[03:31] ---
    Oh, dear, I can't have\nyou looking at me like that.\n
[03:36] ---
    I'm not the one who carved her up.\n
[03:38] ---
    And I'm sure Kanzaki didn't\nmean to bloody her up like that.\n
[03:43] ---
    Her habit, a Walking Church,\nprovides an absolute defense.\n
[03:48] ---
    But for some reason, it got torn up.\n
[03:50] ---
    Why?\n
[03:52] ---
    I don't believe in magic, or fairy tales,\n
[03:55] ---
    and I can't fathom\ncreatures like you sorcerers.\n
[03:59] ---
    But...\n
[04:01] ---
    ...even you people do have the\nconcept of right and wrong, don't you?\n
[04:05] ---
    This little girl comes by here, \n
[04:08] ---
    and you chase her down and bloody her...\n
[04:11] ---
    Faced with the reality of this,\n
[04:13] ---
    are you still incapable\nof saying this is wrong?!\n
[04:16] ---
    If you're done saying your piece,\nI wish you would step aside.\n
[04:19] ---
    I need to recover that.\n
[04:21] ---
    Re... cover...?\n
[04:23] ---
    Yes. Recover, recover. The 103,000\ngrimoires she has, to be precise.\n
[04:32] ---
    Ah, do be careful. \n
[04:33] ---
    If a human such as yourself\nwere to look over just one volume,\n
[04:37] ---
    you're sure to be left a cripple.\n
[04:39] ---
    D-Don't screw with me! Tell me,\nwhere exactly are these things?!\n
[04:44] ---
    They're there. Inside her head.\n
[04:52] ---
    She has the ability to see something\nonce, instantly memorize it,\n
[04:56] ---
    and remember it word for word, forever.\n
[05:00] ---
    In other words, her head is\na library that houses grimoires\n
[05:04] ---
    which she has seen and memorized\nfrom volumes that are locked,\n
[05:08] ---
    and cannot be taken from\ntheir places around the world.\n
[05:10] ---
    But, she doesn't herself\nhave the power to conjure magic,\n
[05:13] ---
    so she is harmless.\n
[05:16] ---
    Then again, those 103,000\nvolumes are a bit dangerous.\n
[05:20] ---
    That's why we have\ncome to take charge of them,\n
[05:25] ---
    before those who can\nuse magic take them away.\n
[05:29] ---
    Take... charge...?\n
[05:30] ---
    That's right, yes. Take charge, take charge.\n
[05:35] ---
    No matter how decent\nand principled she may be,\n
[05:39] ---
    I doubt that she can\nwithstand torture and drugs.\n
[05:43] ---
    When you think of the girl's body\nbeing turned over to that crowd,\n
[05:46] ---
    it pains the heart, doesn't it?\n
[05:50] ---
    Why, you...!\n
[05:52] ---
    Who do you think you are?!\n
[05:56] ---
    Stiyl Magnus...\nis how I'd like to identify myself,\n
[06:00] ---
    but for now, I'll just say I'm "Fortis 931."\n
[06:03] ---
    In Japanese, it means "mighty person,"\n
[06:06] ---
    but its etymology doesn't matter.\n
[06:09] ---
    It's my magic name.\n
[06:11] ---
    Does that sound familiar?\n
[06:13] ---
    Creatures like us sorcerers are\nnot allowed to give our magic names\n
[06:16] ---
    when we are using our magic.\n
[06:19] ---
    Though it's an old convention,\nand I can't understand why.\n
[06:22] ---
    What's important is that\nI gave you my magic name.\n
[06:26] ---
    Which, among us, could also be called\n
[06:28] ---
    my killer name.\n
[06:32] ---
    Flames.\n
[06:44] ---
    Is this... magic?\n
[06:55] ---
    Will this work on something\nunknown, like magic?\n
[06:59] ---
    My right hand can cancel out\nunusual powers, but...\n
[07:05] ---
    I've never encountered any strange\npowers except for esper powers.\n
[07:09] ---
    To the giant, a gift of pain!\n
[07:23] ---
    Hmm, perhaps I overdid it. That's a shame.\n
[07:28] ---
    But at that level, he couldn't\nwin once in a thousand tries.\n
[07:32] ---
    Who couldn't?\n
[07:39] ---
    Who couldn't win,\nno matter how many times he tried?\n
[07:43] ---
    Impossible!\n
[07:44] ---
    Sheesh, yeah, right.\nWhat am I so scared for?\n
[07:48] ---
    My right hand is what destroyed\nher habit, after all, isn't it?\n
[07:55] ---
    Why, you...!\n
[08:07] ---
    So that's it. I finally understand...\n
[08:11] ---
    ...who it was that destroyed the Walking Church.\n
[08:18] ---
    One of the five elements\nthat make up the world,\n
[08:22] ---
    the great original flame...\n
[08:24] ---
    The light that\nbrings the blessing of life,\n
[08:27] ---
    and the light of judgment that\nbrings punishment to the wicked.\n
[08:30] ---
    While it instills gentle blessings,\n
[08:33] ---
    it is also the chilling touch of misfortune\nthat destroys the cold darkness.\n
[08:36] ---
    Its name is Flame,\nand its function is as a sword.\n
[08:40] ---
    Manifest thyself!\nFeed upon me to give thee power!\n
[08:46] ---
    "Kamijo"\n
[08:52] ---
    This is the Witch Hunter King, Innocentius.\n
[08:54] ---
    It means "certain death."\n
[09:00] ---
    Out of my way!\n
[09:39] ---
    Why is my right hand not working?\n
[09:43] ---
    These flames... keep coming back\nas soon as they're snuffed out!\n
[09:50] ---
    Runes.\n
[09:52] ---
    Magical words used by Germanic\ntribes since the second century\n
[09:56] ---
    comprised of twenty-four letters\nsignifying arcane mysticism and secrets,\n
[10:01] ---
    which are the roots of old English.\n
[10:03] ---
    Attacking Innocentius will have no effect.\n
[10:07] ---
    The walls, the floor, the ceiling--\n
[10:10] ---
    He will continue to regenerate\nfor as long as the rune seals \n
[10:13] ---
    that are engraved nearby are not eliminated.\n
[10:15] ---
    Index, that's you, right?\n
[10:17] ---
    Yes. I am the grimoire\nlibrary belonging to Necessarius,\n
[10:22] ---
    the 0th parish of the English Puritan Church.\n
[10:25] ---
    My formal name is Index Librorum Prohibitorum,\n
[10:30] ---
    but you may shorten that\nand just address me as Index.\n
[10:33] ---
    I am currently invoking the\nautomatic writing of John's Pen--\n
[10:39] ---
    You can't do it.\n
[10:41] ---
    Eliminating all of the runes \n
[10:43] ---
    that have been\nengraved upon this building...\n
[10:46] ---
    ...is something you can't possibly do.\n
[10:50] ---
    Ashes to ashes...\n
[10:53] ---
    Dust to dust!\n
[10:55] ---
    Squeamish...\n
[10:58] ---
    ...Blood Rood!\n
[11:00] ---
    Yikes!\n
[11:15] ---
    I'm gonna die. I really am gonna die!\n
[11:23] ---
    I really thought I was gonna die.\n
[11:29] ---
    What are these?\n
[11:35] ---
    Are these the rune engravings?\n
[11:42] ---
    Crap!\n
[12:07] ---
    Damn!\n
[12:37] ---
    Why isn't it coming after me?\n
[12:40] ---
    I get it. This dorm is the only\nplace where the runes are posted.\n
[12:55] ---
    I-I have to report this to someone.\n
[13:06] ---
    P-Pay phone...\n
[13:13] ---
    I'm not doing this so\nI can run away. Not to run away.\n
[13:17] ---
    Will you accompany\nme into the depths of hell?\n
[13:23] ---
    To choose to go to hell with\na perfect stranger who I just met...\n
[13:29] ---
    What am I thinking?!\n
[13:53] ---
    Don't tell me this is to\nextinguish Innocentius’ flames.\n
[13:59] ---
    That's the ridiculous reason why I'm soaking wet now?
[14:18] ---
    What happened to Innocentius?\n
[14:20] ---
    Man, you really got me. You're amazing.\n
[14:24] ---
    Honestly, if you had carved those\nrunes with a knife or something,\n
[14:27] ---
    I'd have had zero chance of winning.\n
[14:29] ---
    Absurd. Innocentius is a mass of\n3000-degree Celsius flame!\n
[14:33] ---
    You think just this will extinguish him?!\n
[14:35] ---
    Dimwit. It's not for the flames.\n
[14:38] ---
    Where do you get off plastering\nstuff on other people's houses?\n
[14:57] ---
    Incredible!\n
[14:59] ---
    But perhaps you're too under-experienced.\n
[15:01] ---
    Copier paper is not the same as toilet paper.\n
[15:04] ---
    It's not so delicate that a little water\n
[15:07] ---
    will make it completely come apart.\n
[15:12] ---
    Kill him.\n
[15:22] ---
    I-Impossible.\nMy runes should still be working.\n
[15:25] ---
    The ink.\n
[15:29] ---
    The copier paper may not be ruined,\n
[15:31] ---
    but when it gets wet,\nthe ink is going to run, you know.\n
[15:36] ---
    Innocentius... Innocentius!\n
[15:40] ---
    Now then...\n
[15:45] ---
    Ashes to ashes...\n
[15:49] ---
    Dust to dust...\n
[15:52] ---
    Squeamish Blood Rood!\n
[15:55] ---
    Damn it, yeah.\n
[15:58] ---
    If I don't want to go\ninto the depths of hell with you,\n
[16:00] ---
    then I've got no other choice...\n
[16:04] ---
    ...but to drag you back\nup out of the depths of hell!\n
[16:33] ---
    Sissy!\n
[16:36] ---
    Oh, Sissy! Oh, Sissy!\n
[16:39] ---
    I knew that having remedial\nclasses didn't sound right for you,\n
[16:42] ---
    and sure enough, it was an excuse\nfor you to go out for some nightlife.\n
[16:45] ---
    Listen, Kuroko...\n
[16:47] ---
    Exactly what is it about what you see\n
[16:49] ---
    that makes you think I'm enjoying any nightlife?\n
[16:52] ---
    That's obvious.\nIf you're passing through here\n
[16:54] ---
    on your way home from school to the dorms,\n
[16:57] ---
    then any way you slice it,\nyou're taking the long way.\n
[17:00] ---
    I-I just had an errand to run. And for that matter, why are you...
[17:04] ---
    That's right, Sissy.\nI'm here on Judgment business.\n
[17:10] ---
    The cause of that fire appears\nto be the work of someone's abilities.\n
[17:21] ---
    That should cancel out whatever\nwas making it act like a beacon.\n
[17:27] ---
    In any case, I need to\nget her to a hospital, right away.\n
[17:31] ---
    But I doubt she has any form\nof ID from around here,\n
[17:36] ---
    and if I just up and\nadmit her into the hospital,\n
[17:38] ---
    word will get out about her in no time.\n
[17:41] ---
    But I can't just leave her alone like this, either.\n
[17:45] ---
    Toma...\n
[17:47] ---
    Is something wrong? You look pale.\n
[17:50] ---
    Is this any time to be worried about me?!\n
[17:52] ---
    We have to do something about your injuries, fast!\n
[17:55] ---
    I will be all right.\nIf we can just get the bleeding stopped...\n
[18:01] ---
    H-Hey!\n
[18:04] ---
    Is there any magic within\nthose 103,000 volumes you carry\n
[18:07] ---
    that deals with healing injuries?\n
[18:09] ---
    Yes, but...\n
[18:11] ---
    --So then...\n
[18:12] ---
    --You couldn't perform it.\n--So then...\n
[18:14] ---
    Even if I were to teach you the spell,\n
[18:17] ---
    and you were able to act it out perfectly,\n
[18:19] ---
    I'm sure that your power would interfere.\n
[18:22] ---
    Damn it, not again.\nMy right hand is at fault again?!\n
[18:28] ---
    It isn't your right hand. It's the\nesper power itself that won't work.\n
[18:35] ---
    Magic isn't something\nfor those who have a talent,\n
[18:39] ---
    like you people have, to use.\n
[18:42] ---
    Magic is something born of\npeople who don't have that talent,\n
[18:46] ---
    but want to do the same things\nthat people who have the talent do.\n
[18:51] ---
    You mean, the students who live in this city,\n
[18:53] ---
    undergoing a curriculum\nto develop their abilities...\n
[18:55] ---
    Mm-hmm. They can't use magic.\n
[18:57] ---
    Damn it, how is that fair?!\n
[19:00] ---
    What is this? How can that be?\n
[19:03] ---
    This is a whole city of students,\nand yet students can't...\n
[19:09] ---
    ...students can't...\n
[19:11] ---
    Hey, you said that anyone\nwho doesn't have any talent\n
[19:14] ---
    is able to use magic, right?\n
[19:25] ---
    I suppose you're gonna tell me \n
[19:27] ---
    that she's already gone to\nsleep at this hour. All right, then...\n
[19:32] ---
    Yes, yes, yes! The door is a sturdy one,\n
[19:36] ---
    built to counter paper carriers.\nI'm opening it now.\n
[19:43] ---
    Ah, Kamijo!\n
[19:46] ---
    Did you start working a job as a paper carrier?\n
[19:49] ---
    What kind of paperboy goes around\nsoliciting with a Sister on his back?\n
[19:53] ---
    We've gotten into all sorts of trouble,\n
[19:55] ---
    so we need to come inside, Teacher.\nPardon the intrusion.\n
[19:58] ---
    J-J-Just a moment! You can't do this to me!\n
[20:07] ---
    I hate to have to ask, given the circumstances,\n
[20:10] ---
    but do you mind it if a woman smokes?\n
[20:18] ---
    W-What happened here?\n
[20:21] ---
    Teacher, as it happens--\n
[20:27] ---
    Index!\n
[20:29] ---
    Warnings, Chapter 2, Verse 6.\n
[20:32] ---
    Due to having more than a\ncertain amount of life force drained\n
[20:34] ---
    as a result of loss of blood, \n
[20:36] ---
    mandatory awakening of\nJohn's Pen has been invoked.\n
[20:39] ---
    If current status holds, \n
[20:41] ---
    then converting from\ninternational standard time, \n
[20:43] ---
    as displayed on the clock tower of\nLondon, in roughly fifteen more minutes,\n
[20:47] ---
    my body will lose the minimum\nlife force it requires, and I will perish.\n
[20:53] ---
    I would appreciate it if you would\nfollow the instructions I will give,\n
[20:56] ---
    and perform the appropriate measures.\n
[20:58] ---
    Teacher, I'm going to go call an ambulance.\n
[21:02] ---
    You listen to what she\ntells you, and do as she asks.\n
[21:05] ---
    Just make sure she doesn't lose consciousness.\n
[21:08] ---
    She is a religious person,\nas you can see. If you please...\n
[21:15] ---
    Say, Index, is there anything I can do?\n
[21:19] ---
    No, there isn't.\nThe best option under the circumstances\n
[21:23] ---
    is for you to leave this place.\n
[21:25] ---
    Just by having you in this room,\nthe recovery magic will be canceled.\n
[21:35] ---
    K-Kamijo, did the Sister\njust say something about magic?\n
[21:41] ---
    Teacher,\n
[21:43] ---
    please take care of her.\n
[21:45] ---
    Kamijo! There's a telephone right there!\n
[21:58] ---
    The best option under the circumstances\n
[22:01] ---
    is for you to leave this place.\n
[22:04] ---
    Just by having you in this room,\n
[22:06] ---
    the recovery magic will be canceled.\n
