[00:32] ---
    In just a few minutes,
[00:34] ---
    the Daihasei Festival's
    opening ceremony will begin.
[00:37] ---
    Here in Academy City,
[00:38] ---
    the place is filled with
    students' families and spectators!
[00:42] ---
    Get your Maid Bento lunches!
[00:44] ---
    Who wants one of Academy City's
    famous Maid Bento lunches?
[00:48] ---
    Get your Ryoran Household Arts
    School's Maid Bento lunches--
[00:51] ---
    or more precisely,
    Probationary Maid Lunches here!
[00:55] ---
    My, my, Academy City sure
    does have a lot of schools, doesn't it?
[00:59] ---
    Y-Yeah. It's a place where
    educational organizations
[01:03] ---
    from around the world are all
    concentrated into one location.
[01:06] ---
    E-Excuse me!
[01:07] ---
    No, I should apologize.
[01:10] ---
    Um, would you happen to know
    where Tokiwadai Middle School is?
[01:15] ---
    Huh? Oh, just a moment, please.
[01:18] ---
    Tokiwadai... Tokiwadai...
[01:21] ---
    It's not here.
    Perhaps it's not open to the public?
[01:25] ---
    Huh? Are you sure?
    Then where could Mikoto be?!
[01:29] ---
    I-Is this Mikoto your
    younger sister, or someone?
[01:33] ---
    My, my...
[01:35] ---
    Not again, Toya.
[01:38] ---
    --Gah! It really isn't on here! What do I do?
    --Again, you say, Mom?
[01:42] ---
    Oh, isn't that Toma over there?
[01:44] ---
    Yeah, okay! If I happen to lose
    to you, I'll play your penalty game.
[01:49] ---
    I'll do whatever you tell me to do.
[01:52] ---
    All right, I'm in.
    Anything I say, right? Anything.
[01:55] ---
    In return, if you lose,
    you get the penalty game, too.
[01:59] ---
    Wha--? S-So then, you mean,
    a-anything you say...?
[02:04] ---
    Oh, dear, given the way you were
    shooting your mouth off just now,
[02:08] ---
    is that really all the
    confidence you've got?
[02:11] ---
    Okay, fine. Let's do this, why don't we?
[02:14] ---
    But don't come crying to me later!
[02:17] ---
    My, my...
[02:20] ---
    Looks like Mikoto is doing well.

    (Look for it by oneself, no buts about it)

[03:37] ---
    No buts!
[03:54] ---
    The Daihasei Festival opening
    ceremony is about to start, right?
[03:58] ---
    I would think a word of greeting
    would be necessary, would it not?
[04:02] ---
    Do you think that I go
    out in public looking like I do?
[04:06] ---
    Then let us proceed
    with our discussion unabated.
[04:08] ---
    Concerning the magician who
    has made her way inside Academy City?
[04:13] ---
    Through security measures
    that have become lax.
[04:16] ---
    There are two of them that
    we have identified as of right now.
[04:19] ---
    An officer of the Roman Orthodox
    Church, and a courier in her employ.
[04:24] ---
    Their objective is said to be
    a transaction for a certain item.
[04:28] ---
    A certain item?
[04:31] ---
    Up you go...
[04:33] ---
    A sword?
[04:35] ---
    This is a replica,
[04:37] ---
    but it's the "Stab Sword."
[04:39] ---
    It is even claimed to be the sword that
    pierced a dragon, binding it to the ground.
[04:43] ---
    If it were to end up in the wrong hands,
    the English Puritan Church
[04:46] ---
    could find itself quickly
    placed in a dire predicament.
[04:49] ---
    Then you might call it a
    tactical weapon among your world.
[04:53] ---
    Our greatest problem is that
    the transaction for the Stab Sword
[04:57] ---
    is being held there
    within Academy City.
[05:01] ---
    Which would mean that that young man
[05:04] ---
    must be appointed as a traveling guide.
[05:10] ---
    Toma! Toma!
[05:11] ---
    I think I might be hungry!
[05:13] ---
    Huh? You just barely
    ate breakfast, didn't you?
[05:15] ---
    But the most indescribable aromas
    are floating around me everywhere,
[05:19] ---
    and it doesn't make any difference!
[05:21] ---
    Ah, Japanese cuisine may be a
    mass of temptation called appetite!
[05:26] ---
    Yeah, all right, all right.
    I'll take you around later on.
[05:30] ---
    Later on?
[05:31] ---
    Yeah. The first event is about to start.
[05:34] ---
    The events that I'm taking
    part in today are marked in there.
[05:38] ---
    Let's go, Index.
[05:40] ---
    T-Toma seems like he's
    incredibly no-nonsense today.
[05:51] ---
    Ugh... I so don't wanna do this.
[05:54] ---
    Guys, what's with all this
    down-and-out spirit, on the first day?
[05:57] ---
    We've been arguing over how
    we're going to beat the other schools,
[06:01] ---
    and our already limited strength has
    been reduced to near zero. What of it?
[06:05] ---
    You put the cart before
    the horse, you know!
[06:07] ---
    That's just how competition
    between students is.
[06:10] ---
    Just my luck.
[06:12] ---
    What's the deal with this lack of energy?!
[06:18] ---
    Let me guess, Kamijo!
    You're so inappropriately lazy,
[06:21] ---
    now it's spreading to all the others!
[06:23] ---
    I just barely got here, myself!
[06:25] ---
    So in other words, you showed up late,
[06:27] ---
    sucking out the enthusiasm from the others!
[06:29] ---
    Fukiyose, you got here later than I did!
[06:32] ---
    I was on steering
    committee business, you idiot!
[06:35] ---
    Just leave me alone.
[06:36] ---
    Kamijo, face-to-face
    with his unfortunate reality,
[06:39] ---
    is finding it difficult
    to rise to his feet.
[06:42] ---
    That's just a little anemia.
[06:44] ---
    Here, top yourself
    off with this sports drink!
[06:47] ---
    I happen to not like folks
    who use bad luck or misfortune
[06:50] ---
    as an excuse to cut corners
    as they live their lives!
[06:53] ---
    When you slack off, the enthusiasm
    of those around you also dries up!
[06:55] ---
    So snap to, already, snap to!
[07:03] ---
    U-Um...
[07:06] ---
    Th-That is...
[07:11] ---
    Have you got something to say?
[07:13] ---
    N-No, I do not! No!
[07:22] ---
    This is no time for
    anyone to be tower toppling.
[07:25] ---
    It really could be hopeless.
[07:26] ---
    Like I said,
    you have to acknowledge
[07:28] ---
    that there are deficiencies
    in our facilities!
[07:30] ---
    But that is in no way a
    reflection on the students!
[07:33] ---
    It's because your students
    are of such poor quality
[07:35] ---
    that you don't receive more money
    from the governing board, right?
[07:38] ---
    Ha! It must make work extra hard,
    being saddled with rejects, huh?
[07:43] ---
    Th-The students are neither
    successes nor failures!
[07:47] ---
    The only thing they
    are is their own individuals!
[07:49] ---
    That's quite the dreamlike
    opinion you have of them,
[07:52] ---
    but I will see your
    left-behinds crushed to pieces
[07:55] ---
    in the tower topple
    that is about to start.
[08:02] ---
    No you won't.
[08:04] ---
    They are not all left-behinds,
    after all, are they?
[08:13] ---
    Hey, guys... I'm gonna
    ask you one more time...
[08:19] ---
    Are you really not up for this?!
[08:21] ---
    The first event is the tower topple.
[08:23] ---
    The schools are now taking the field.
[08:26] ---
    He's so reckless. There's no
    way they're going to beat our school.
[08:30] ---
    Oh...
[08:32] ---
    I'm so hungry...
[08:36] ---
    She doesn't have
    heatstroke or anything, right?
[08:44] ---
    You really are
    just hungry, aren't you?
[08:47] ---
    What are you doing here,
    short-hair? Cheering on Toma?
[08:51] ---
    W-Why would I have
    to be cheering that guy on?
[08:55] ---
    I mean, we've got a bet as
    to which team is going to win.
[08:58] ---
    And I'm obviously
    the one who's going to win...
[09:01] ---
    Huh? What do I do when I win?
[09:05] ---
    He said he would
    do whatever I tell him to...
[09:06] ---
    Ah! It's Toma!
[09:15] ---
    What on earth is he ready for?
[09:17] ---
    D-Don't tell me he
    seriously means to win this!
[09:20] ---
    What is he planning
    to demand of me if he wins?!
[09:23] ---
    Ready... begin!
[09:42] ---
    W-What's going on, everyone,
    to make you try that hard out there?
[09:47] ---
    Even if you won,
[09:49] ---
    seeing you worn ragged
    like that makes me... makes me...
[09:56] ---
    Hey, Index!
[10:00] ---
    Geez, what am
    I going to do with her?
[10:02] ---
    Ah, my cell... is in my bag.
[10:35] ---
    I-I'm just here to get my cell phone,
[10:37] ---
    so I can meet up with a lost child.
[10:40] ---
    In no way did I mean
    anything improper by this...
[10:47] ---
    Huh?
[10:50] ---
    There you are! Toma!
[10:52] ---
    Huh? Toma,
    why are your eyes watering?
[10:56] ---
    Where is your cell phone?
[10:58] ---
    It's right here!
[10:59] ---
    Then why don't you answer it?!
[11:02] ---
    The battery's dead.
[11:04] ---
    Never mind that, I'm hungry.
    Give me something to eat, Toma.
[11:09] ---
    Ugh... If we go to the booth area,
    they'll have tons of food there.
[11:13] ---
    Tons of it!
[11:14] ---
    "Notice-- No thoroughfare"
[11:17] ---
    Oh, sorry. The parade
    through here is starting soon.
[11:22] ---
    Um, we'd like to cross over to there.
[11:25] ---
    There's an underground mall
    about three kilometers
[11:27] ---
    to the west where you can get across.
[11:29] ---
    Three kilometers?
[11:30] ---
    I can almost reach out and touch it, but...
[11:33] ---
    Yeah... Just tough it out
    until the giant ball roll is over.
[11:38] ---
    To... ma...
[11:40] ---
    Huh? Why are you...
[11:43] ---
    Hold on!
[11:48] ---
    Yeah! I caught you!
    You're going to ensure my victory!
[11:56] ---
    First place in the scavenger hunt
    goes to Tokiwadai Middle School
[11:59] ---
    contestant Misaka Mikoto!
[12:03] ---
    The scavenger hunt?
[12:04] ---
    Yep. "A high school student
    who competed in the first event."
[12:08] ---
    You happen to fit that bill, right?
[12:11] ---
    Ah... There are any number of
    other guys who meet that condition--
[12:17] ---
    Hey, what are you doing!
[12:24] ---
    Oh, geez. Here, drink some of this.
[12:30] ---
    In fact, what the heck, you can have it!
[12:39] ---
    Wow...
[12:41] ---
    While the rest of us were
    out toiling under the blazing sun
[12:44] ---
    and I thought about how
    you have to rest, Miss Shirai,
[12:47] ---
    I just couldn't stand it anymore,
[12:50] ---
    so I wanted you to
    come give us a hand at work.
[12:55] ---
    Thanks for the overly
    charming sense of friendship.
[12:58] ---
    So, have any problems come up?
[13:01] ---
    Not at the moment.
[13:02] ---
    Securing first prize,
    contestant Misaka Mikoto
[13:05] ---
    maintains her posture
    even after reaching the goal,
[13:07] ---
    and shows off how
    much energy she still has to spare.
[13:10] ---
    "Live" "Z Studio"
    "Daihasei Festival Digest"
[13:11] ---
    Sissy! Ah, my beautiful Sissy!
[13:15] ---
    The sight of her caring for the
    fellow contributor who ran with her
[13:18] ---
    was also impressive.
[13:21] ---
    "A Certain Magical Index II"
[13:23] ---
    I'll kill him!
[13:27] ---
    "A Certain Magical Index II"
[13:30] ---
    "Marching band parade now in progress!!"
[13:37] ---
    She's been out of my sight for
    a while now. I hope Index is okay.
[13:48] ---
    What's he...
[13:57] ---
    Security around Academy City
    has been softened these days,
[14:00] ---
    to be more welcoming to
    general public spectators, right?
[14:02] ---
    Some magicians have taken
    advantage of that fact to sneak in.
[14:07] ---
    At present, we have
    identified two of them.
[14:10] ---
    Lidvia Lorenzetti,
    of the Roman Orthodox Church,
[14:13] ---
    and the courier she
    has hired, Oriana Thomson.
[14:16] ---
    Courier?
[14:17] ---
    They are here in the city attempting
    to conduct a transaction
[14:19] ---
    for a relic that has been
    handed down through the church.
[14:22] ---
    Why would they do that here?
[14:24] ---
    Academy City is the place that
    has the least to do with the occult.
[14:26] ---
    All the more reason.
[14:29] ---
    This is where the Academy City
    side and the magic side
[14:31] ---
    will both have
    trouble interfering with them.
[14:34] ---
    The only one who can act is your
    acquaintance, who has come to Academy City.
[14:39] ---
    Well, what about Kanzaki?
    She's a saint or something, as I recall.
[14:43] ---
    Kanzaki cannot be used. Especially for this.
[14:47] ---
    After all, the relic being
    traded is this relic.
[14:49] ---
    Huh? What does that mean?
[14:52] ---
    Kami, this relic's name is the "Stab Sword."
[14:57] ---
    Word is, it's something that
    can spell instant death for any saint.
[15:01] ---
    Look out!
[15:03] ---
    Yikes!
[15:03] ---
    Huh? What for?
[15:08] ---
    What do you think
    you're doing, Kamijo Toma?!
[15:14] ---
    Do you know how the
    "Son of God" who was crucified
[15:18] ---
    was actually killed, Kami?
[15:20] ---
    I believe... he died on the cross.
[15:23] ---
    He was speared to death.
[15:25] ---
    The Stab Sword is a
[15:27] ---
    relic that distills the
    religious significance of the
[15:30] ---
    execution and spearing, and amplifies,
    condenses, and focuses it to the extreme.
[15:35] ---
    It has no effect on a regular person,
[15:37] ---
    but if a saint is involved, it boasts
    the power to kill them in one strike.
[15:41] ---
    What are the magicians planning,
    dealing for something like that?
[15:46] ---
    A war, of course. In the world of magic,
[15:49] ---
    saints amount to the same
    thing as tactical weapons.
[15:52] ---
    But there are still plenty of
    magicians who aren't saints, right?
[15:56] ---
    I get the feeling that you
    could fight even without Kanzaki.
[15:59] ---
    That's not what the problem is.
[16:03] ---
    It's not about whether
    or not one can actually win,
[16:06] ---
    it's when the illusion is provided
    that one might be able to win
[16:09] ---
    that wars tend to break out.
[16:13] ---
    But, if the problem is that serious,
[16:15] ---
    shouldn't we be enlisting
    Index's cooperation?
[16:18] ---
    No can do. We can't use the
    List of Prohibited Books for this one.
[16:23] ---
    We can't let her get
    anywhere near the site,
[16:25] ---
    nor can we tell her any
    information about this incident.
[16:30] ---
    Why not?
[16:31] ---
    Because outside magicians
    will concentrate their search on her,
[16:34] ---
    thinking that if anything happens,
    she'll be at the center of it.
[16:38] ---
    If she makes any moves,
    any magicians who take notice
[16:41] ---
    will unanimously come swarming in on her.
[16:45] ---
    "S-71 Central Gymnasium Rear"
[16:45] ---
    In other words, you're saying
    we have to do everything we can
[16:49] ---
    to keep Index from noticing any magic.
[16:55] ---
    When I came running
    after Miss Yomikawa called me,
[16:58] ---
    you were as limp as
    unsold vegetables still on the shelf,
[17:00] ---
    so I really was shocked.
[17:06] ---
    Thank you, that was delicious!
[17:09] ---
    I have to wonder, though,
    where did Toma go off to?
[17:12] ---
    It's almost time for lunch.
[17:15] ---
    U-Um, wasn't this just lunch?
[17:18] ---
    I...
[17:21] ---
    ...have been like this all day.
[17:23] ---
    Am I growing apart from Toma?
[17:27] ---
    Hmm... Yes, you're right.
    I'm sure you would like to enjoy
[17:31] ---
    the Daihasei Festival
    together with Kamijo, Sister.
[17:35] ---
    It's all right!
[17:37] ---
    There is something that
    you can participate in, too, Sister!
[17:40] ---
    Huh?
[17:43] ---
    She's not here.
    Has she really become a lost child?
[17:48] ---
    Why have you
    had that look on your face,
[17:51] ---
    like you're about to
    begin a final boss battle?
[17:54] ---
    You look like you're ready to
    die at any moment.
[17:57] ---
    If you're hungry,
    how about eating a Bento lunch?
[17:59] ---
    Never mind me, have you seen
    Index around anywhere?
[18:04] ---
    If you mean the Sister,
    she was walking around over there.
[18:06] ---
    Thanks!
[18:08] ---
    It looked like she was being
    led by the hand, by that famous
[18:12] ---
    mini-sized teacher from your school.
[18:19] ---
    Index?
[18:26] ---
    It's just you, huh? Where's Index?
[18:31] ---
    I'm so sorry.
[18:33] ---
    I really hate to have to
    make you change clothes here.
[18:46] ---
    Toma! Maybe you should
    count how many times this makes!
[18:54] ---
    I-In--
[18:54] ---
    W-Wah!
[18:59] ---
    Er, um, Miss Index...?
[19:02] ---
    It's all right. It was just an accident.
[19:04] ---
    You don't have to take it so seriously.
[19:08] ---
    --Uh-oh...
    --Kamijo!
[19:09] ---
    Here I am, on steering committee
    business, looking for Miss Tsukuyomi,
[19:12] ---
    and what do I see?
[19:23] ---
    ...you big traitor!
[19:28] ---
    For crying out loud,
    can't you put a little effort
[19:31] ---
    into making the tournament a success?
[19:33] ---
    Just which event is
    our school competing in now?
[19:36] ---
    Why can't you even remember that much?!
[19:39] ---
    I get it! You aren't getting
    enough nutrients to the brain,
[19:41] ---
    so start ingesting a little more sugar!
[19:43] ---
    D-Doing so won't do
    anything to fix Kamijo's stupidity!
[19:47] ---
    Doesn't it even pain you to say it yourself?
[19:50] ---
    It's the 2nd-Year girls' tug of war
[19:51] ---
    and the 3rd-Year boys' all-star triathlon.
[19:54] ---
    Which should you be rooting for?
    It's gotta be the girls.
[19:57] ---
    Yeah, of course, you are Kamijo, after all.
[19:59] ---
    Just don't grab the collar anymore!
[20:02] ---
    Okay, here.
[20:05] ---
    Come on, hurry up!
[20:13] ---
    Hey, Kamijo, do you find
    the Daihasei Festival boring?
[20:16] ---
    Huh?
[20:17] ---
    You seem a little erratic,
    like your mind is on something else.
[20:23] ---
    And if you feel like today has been boring,
[20:26] ---
    it means that as a member
    of the steering committee,
[20:29] ---
    who got all of this ready,
    something I did was inadequate.
[20:32] ---
    No, I don't particularly think it's boring.
[20:34] ---
    Sure, as someone
    who put together the planning
[20:36] ---
    and worked hard on it up to today,
[20:38] ---
    I'm going to want to make sure
    everyone has a good time, you know?
[20:43] ---
    Maybe that's a little selfish of me.
[20:50] ---
    It looks like it's no use,
    since your mind is elsewhere, huh?!
[20:53] ---
    No, it's not!
[20:54] ---
    Oh, I'm sorry!
[21:01] ---
    Get away from me, Kamijo Toma!
[21:06] ---
    Oh, my...
[21:10] ---
    Sorry. I'm not quite accustomed
    to having so many people around.
[21:13] ---
    --Not at all...
    --Whoa...
[21:15] ---
    Are you all right? Does it hurt anywhere?
[21:18] ---
    Your forehead is turning red.
[21:21] ---
    No, I...
[21:23] ---
    To apologize for running into you.
[21:26] ---
    Or would you prefer a kiss?
[21:27] ---
    Yes! A kiss would be--
[21:29] ---
    Ee-yow...
[21:32] ---
    Well then...
[21:37] ---
    I have to be getting back to work. Bye, now.
[21:51] ---
    Hello? This is Oriana Thomson.
[21:54] ---
    Can you hear me?
[21:55] ---
    Refrain from using your real name.
[21:57] ---
    Everyone around you
    can hear your voice, can't they?
[22:00] ---
    Never mind about that,
    I've run into a little trouble.
[22:03] ---
    It looks like that spell
    you used on me has been broken.
[22:07] ---
    What was the cause?
[22:08] ---
    I don't know.
[22:11] ---
    It's kind of a turn-on.
[22:13] ---
    Watch those indecent expressions.
    Can you take any countermeasures?
[22:17] ---
    Let's see... First of all,
[22:19] ---
    I'll have to give this
    boy behind me the slip.

    "Preview"
[23:55] ---
    We are made fools of as
    Oriana runs away from us.
[23:57] ---
    Stiyl risks his life to
    research the spell that she casts.
[24:01] ---
    And then, the place that we locate...
[24:03] ---
    Next time, "Route Disturb."
[24:05] ---
    When science and
    magic cross paths, the story begins.
