[00:31] ---
    Academy City is bustling over
    the Daihasei Festival.
[00:34] ---
    Taking advantage of that fact,
    a transaction for the Stab Sword,
[00:37] ---
    a relic capable of killing a
    saint in one blow, is to be held.
[00:40] ---
    Their courier's name
    is Oriana Thomson.
[00:44] ---
    And by chance, I just came in contact
    with someone who might be her.
[01:08] ---
    "A Certain Magical Index II"
[01:11] ---
    I gazed at the coin I had flipped
[01:16] ---
    If it's heads I go, tails I stay
[01:20] ---
    Let me know your answer first
[01:26] ---
    "Please, won't you tell me?"
[01:32] ---
    But the angel continued
    to smile in discernment
[01:42] ---
    Wander on! There's nobody
    to lead you by the hand
[01:47] ---
    The answer handed down
    from God is one of woe
[01:53] ---
    Yes, that is what your gift from God is
[01:58] ---
    Once you overcome it, you'll start to see, so right now...
    (Look for it by oneself, no buts about it)
[02:05] ---
    No buts!
[02:30] ---
    Hey there, Kami.
[02:33] ---
    I've currently got eyes on a spot
[02:34] ---
    that Oriana is likely to use for the deal--
[02:36] ---
    Tsuchimikado...
[02:37] ---
    I just shook hands with
    someone, and at that moment,
[02:40] ---
    my Imagine Breaker
    broke something down.
[02:43] ---
    I don't know what it is, exactly,
[02:45] ---
    but she doesn't strike me
    as a student, you might say.
[02:48] ---
    Did she happen to be
    carrying a large package?
[02:51] ---
    Yeah. She's carrying
    what looks to be a signboard.
[02:53] ---
    Kami, where are you right now?
[02:57] ---
    Right now, I'm following her.
[02:59] ---
    I'm sending you my GPS codes,
    so you can search for me that way.
[03:08] ---
    She spotted me!
[03:22] ---
    Whoa!
[03:30] ---
    Which one, Kami?
[03:31] ---
    The blond woman wearing the work uniform.
[03:42] ---
    Those two are pros, huh?
[03:44] ---
    My instructions were
    not to engage anyone in town,
[03:47] ---
    but they won't make it easy.
[04:00] ---
    Something's off about
    her pattern of behavior.
[04:03] ---
    Has she changed her mind?
[04:09] ---
    A bus terminal?
[04:11] ---
    A servicing station for the auto-buses.
[04:19] ---
    A trap?! Get down, Kami!
[04:20] ---
    You're up.
[04:26] ---
    Stop screwing around!
[04:28] ---
    No, that was some nice
    team play, if I do say so myself.
[04:31] ---
    Having a clear division of
    labor will make it easier for us to act.
[04:36] ---
    Look, you...
[04:37] ---
    So go ahead and complete your job.
[04:43] ---
    Like I said, hold on!
[04:46] ---
    Hey!
[04:53] ---
    Stiyl, you post your runes
    around and stand by here.
[04:57] ---
    I'll pin down the courier.
[04:59] ---
    Roger that.
[05:01] ---
    So, Kami, what are you gonna do?
[05:04] ---
    I think it's safer for you to stay here.
[05:07] ---
    I'll...
[05:08] ---
    I also think it's safer
    for you to remain here.
[05:12] ---
    I'm talking my safety, though, not yours.
[05:25] ---
    These are decoys, meant to buy time!
[05:27] ---
    If you take every last one of
    them on, she's gonna get away!
[05:30] ---
    That's easy for you to say!
[05:39] ---
    There she is!
[05:45] ---
    Kami, if you would!
[05:46] ---
    Huh? If I would what?!
[06:26] ---
    Oriana "Route Disturb" Thomson, huh?
    Now she's messing with us!
[06:35] ---
    E-Excuse me!
[06:37] ---
    Are you all right--
[06:39] ---
    Oh, no, I should be
    the one to say I'm sorry.
[06:44] ---
    This spell is called
    "Four Ways to Truth."
[06:47] ---
    Using this, we will
    search out Oriana's location.
[06:50] ---
    You shouldn't be using magic, should you?
[06:53] ---
    Which is why I'm going to get some help.
[07:03] ---
    Traveling on the wind, conveying
    not air, but will to the location.
[07:32] ---
    "Traveling on the wind, conveying
    not air, but will to the location."
[07:37] ---
    Right?
[07:44] ---
    Stiyl!
[07:45] ---
    Kami!
[07:46] ---
    Go give Stiyl a slug!
[07:58] ---
    What was that just now?
[08:00] ---
    Some form of trace
    prevention spell, or something?
[08:05] ---
    Nope, there's no sign of that.
[08:08] ---
    There's probably some kind
    of interception spell set up
[08:11] ---
    that is triggered to react automatically
    to Stiyl's magic individually.
[08:16] ---
    What do you mean?
[08:17] ---
    That Stiyl can no longer
    use any magic directed at Oriana?
[08:21] ---
    Oh, man, that's a devil
    of a thing to have in there.
[08:26] ---
    For one person to be able
    to pull off detecting a life force,
[08:30] ---
    analyze it, trace it back,
    and then apply a counterattack...
[08:34] ---
    I guess that's Route Disturb for you.
[08:37] ---
    Route Disturb?
[08:39] ---
    Oriana Thomson's other name.
[08:42] ---
    Be that as it may, there's something
    about her impersonal methods
[08:45] ---
    that strikes me as being
    familiar. But it couldn't be.
[08:49] ---
    I can't believe that she
    would be in possession of one.
[08:52] ---
    Well, Stiyl, I was thinking
    the exact same thing.
[08:57] ---
    Are you serious? But if that's true,
[08:59] ---
    that wouldn't make her
    a magician, but a sorceress.
[09:03] ---
    What are you
    talking about? What is it she has?
[09:06] ---
    Something that is packed with
    magical knowledge,
[09:09] ---
    itself activating as its own
    magical array,
[09:12] ---
    independent of the magician's will--
[09:15] ---
    an original grimoire text.
[09:16] ---
    But to create a grimoire to fit
    these circumstances would be...
[09:21] ---
    The original text could be
    just a scribbled note.
[09:24] ---
    It would have a limited
    effectiveness,
[09:26] ---
    and should break down soon.
[09:29] ---
    "Shorthand," you might call it.
[09:31] ---
    So then, what does
    that mean we should do?
[09:34] ---
    First, we take out the
    automatic intercept spell,
[09:38] ---
    so we can use Stiyl's magic.
[09:40] ---
    What are the chances of her fleeing
    the search area while we do so?
[09:45] ---
    If she was sure she
    could get away clean,
[09:48] ---
    I don't think she would take the trouble
[09:49] ---
    to set up an intercept spell, do you?
[09:51] ---
    Hmm...
[09:52] ---
    Stiyl, use your magic, on anything you like.
[09:59] ---
    A divination circle.
[10:01] ---
    A yet-unused magical array,
    which doesn't employ anyone's magic.
[10:05] ---
    This will activate in response
    to the magic of the intercept spell,
[10:08] ---
    providing us with
    direction and distance.
[10:11] ---
    Now then...
[10:12] ---
    Hey, Tsuchimikado,
[10:14] ---
    in order to make that work,
    won't Stiyl have to once again...?
[10:17] ---
    Once again?
[10:19] ---
    Who said anything about that?
[10:21] ---
    If we don't find the
    location of the Shorthand,
[10:23] ---
    we'll have no choice but
    to keep trying over and over.
[10:26] ---
    Why, you...
[10:27] ---
    Kami, you seem to have forgotten,
    so let me remind you of something.
[10:31] ---
    Lives are at stake in this battle.
[10:33] ---
    Enough so that it could steer
    nations or the world into decline.
[10:38] ---
    Let's do it.
[10:40] ---
    But you'll...!
[10:41] ---
    Don't get so chummy, Kamijo Toma.
[10:44] ---
    If it will bring an end to all of this,
    then there is no problem.
[10:47] ---
    In return, you pinpoint the location
    of the intercept spell, no matter what.
[10:51] ---
    Okay. We will make
    certain to preserve the life
[10:54] ---
    that Index leads for
    herself in Academy City.
[10:56] ---
    That was your condition, right?
[11:02] ---
    Kamijo Toma...
[11:03] ---
    I do not appreciate the
    fact that you are here right now.
[11:08] ---
    Why are you not at her side?
[11:10] ---
    If her face grows somber because of this,
[11:13] ---
    it will all be your fault.
[11:19] ---
    "A Certain Magical Index II"
[11:34] ---
    Here I wanted to change
    clothes to show off to Toma,
[11:38] ---
    but it looks like he took
    off somewhere on his own.
[11:41] ---
    S-Sister, don't be
    so disheartened about it.
[11:45] ---
    I'm sure that Kamijo had
    some important reason for doing so.
[11:54] ---
    Ooh, that Kamijo Toma...
[11:55] ---
    Geez, I take my eyes off of him
    for a second, and he disappears.
[12:00] ---
    Teacher!
[12:02] ---
    Fukiyose!
[12:04] ---
    What are you doing
    out here, in the public view?
[12:08] ---
    If she's feeling a little delirious,
[12:10] ---
    a stimulant like this capsicum
    will turn her thoughts back outward.
[12:14] ---
    N-No...
[12:15] ---
    That's all right.
    Everything is all right, Fukiyose.
[12:19] ---
    It is?
[12:22] ---
    Where's Toma?
[12:24] ---
    Where could Toma have gone?
[12:30] ---
    Here it comes.
[12:32] ---
    The divination circle
    is responding. Hey, Kami!
[12:35] ---
    You have a map, don't you?
[12:38] ---
    Yeah, you've got that
    GPS map on your cell phone.
[12:41] ---
    In that case, bring it here.
[12:43] ---
    Tsuchimikado!
[12:45] ---
    How can you be so coldhearted?!
[12:48] ---
    Who do you think Stiyl
    has deliberately gotten hurt for?!
[12:51] ---
    Kami, he is a professional magician.
[12:54] ---
    He has at least enough attack
    resistance to handle this spell.
[12:59] ---
    Tsuchimikado, are you...?
[13:02] ---
    The divination circle responds
    to the magic power of incoming spells
[13:06] ---
    to tell us their distance and direction.
[13:08] ---
    There's no way such a handy little item
[13:11] ---
    can be activated without
    using some magic power, right?
[13:16] ---
    If I were able to
    use more decent magic,
[13:19] ---
    Stiyl wouldn't have
    had to go through this.
[13:21] ---
    I'll admit that. So go ahead and
    blame me as much as you want.
[13:25] ---
    However, I will make sure that
    I find that Shorthand and destroy it.
[13:30] ---
    Then, I will catch Oriana,
[13:32] ---
    and personally see to it that
    the Stab Sword deal is off for good.
[13:36] ---
    Kami, your map.
[13:39] ---
    I want to know what
    there is at the position
[13:41] ---
    302 meters northwest of here.
    I'm sure that's where the Shorthand is.
[13:45] ---
    Y-Yeah...
[13:52] ---
    It's...
[13:55] ---
    A middle school?!
[13:57] ---
    "10 minutes until the middle
    school ball toss competition"
[14:00] ---
    It's at an event grounds?
[14:02] ---
    And it's about to start, too.
[14:04] ---
    The spectators and
    cameras are already there.
[14:07] ---
    We can't just sneak
    our way around this time.
[14:09] ---
    Then, what do we do?
    We can't just not do anything, right?
[14:13] ---
    All we can do is
    slip in there as contestants.
[14:15] ---
    Are you serious?
    We're high-schoolers!
[14:19] ---
    Blending in as middle-schoolers won't work--
[14:23] ---
    Damn!
[14:25] ---
    There's a risk that the intercept
    spell might turn on others, too.
[14:30] ---
    Huh?
[14:31] ---
    Do you know what the simplest
    magic ritual in the world is?
[14:35] ---
    It's touching.
[14:37] ---
    A regular person with
    no knowledge of magic
[14:39] ---
    still has a chance of activating
    the intercept spell by touching it.
[14:42] ---
    If that happens, not having
    the kind of defenses a magician has,
[14:46] ---
    they will be in quite a bit of danger.
[14:48] ---
    At any rate, Kami,
[14:50] ---
    we're going to handle that
    intercept spell before it hurts anyone.
[14:53] ---
    All right!
[14:54] ---
    And with that in mind...!
[15:04] ---
    Kami!
[15:09] ---
    Excuse me...
[15:11] ---
    We have to compete in this event,
[15:13] ---
    but do we really have
    to enter, looking like this?
[15:17] ---
    There will be cameras,
    and everything...
[15:19] ---
    You take the cake.
[15:21] ---
    I don't suppose you
    have a change of gym clothes?
[15:23] ---
    Ah, yes we do!
    But they're in the club room.
[15:27] ---
    Uh-huh. Well, hurry up and change.
[15:30] ---
    Rules are still rules,
    though, so I need to check your IDs.
[15:36] ---
    --Tsuchimika--
    --Okay, okay!
[15:38] ---
    I'll slap that right down!
[15:41] ---
    Gah! Hey! Can't you wipe
    your hand off before using it?!
[15:45] ---
    Never mind, go ahead.
    They don't allow late entrants.
[15:49] ---
    Thank you very much!
[15:54] ---
    Hey, we can't blend into
    the competition looking like this!
[15:57] ---
    Oh, I'm guessing there
    are some changes of clothes
[16:00] ---
    in the nurse's office.
[16:03] ---
    The next event will be 200 students
    from Minamizawa Middle School
[16:08] ---
    versus 20 students from
    Tokiwadai Middle School,
[16:09] ---
    "Five minutes until the middle
    school ball toss competition"
[16:12] ---
    in the ball toss competition.
[16:26] ---
    The smell of defeat on
    them is strong. Ah, stinky, stinky!
[16:34] ---
    Just what is the meaning of this?
[16:37] ---
    What are you doing over there?! Huh?!
[16:43] ---
    Eh? Tokiwadai Middle School?!
[16:45] ---
    They have some
    fearsome espers over there.
[16:48] ---
    Yeah, well, let's watch
    out for stray shots then, Kami.
[16:54] ---
    If the Shorthand is
    set up here, then where is it?
[16:57] ---
    The baskets are the most likely place.
[16:59] ---
    There are probably baskets
    that are borrowed from elsewhere,
[17:01] ---
    so they could have been
    rigged outside beforehand.
[17:05] ---
    I'll check out each pole basket in order.
[17:08] ---
    Kami, your work begins
    once I find the Shorthand.
[17:16] ---
    "Daihasei Festival Steering Committee"
[17:16] ---
    Take your positions, get set...
[17:19] ---
    ...and begin!
[17:26] ---
    Don't flinch at that! Charge in, Kami!
[17:29] ---
    Y-Yeah!
[17:44] ---
    Tsuchimikado?
[17:45] ---
    Not this one, Kami. Onto the next one!
[17:56] ---
    Kami, not this one either!
[17:58] ---
    --Come on!
    --A little more!
[18:00] ---
    --Don't let them get you!
    --Hang in there!
[18:03] ---
    --Hey, don't push!
    --Ow! Stop it!
[18:05] ---
    --Yikes!
    --It's falling over!
[18:14] ---
    Watch out!
[18:16] ---
    Kami, use my back!
[18:25] ---
    Hurry and get out of here!
[18:47] ---
    I can't believe you...
[18:49] ---
    You'd go this far...
[18:52] ---
    ...just to make me play
    your penalty game, will you?!
[19:04] ---
    Sheesh!
[19:05] ---
    I didn't have much choice,
    what with you being in danger, did I?
[19:10] ---
    Misaka!
[19:12] ---
    Wait, Misaka!
[19:14] ---
    W-What?
[19:17] ---
    Listen to me, Misaka.
    I'll explain everything later,
[19:20] ---
    but move away from there!
[19:22] ---
    Huh? What are you talking about now?
[19:25] ---
    And what are you even doing here?
    You explain yourself first, or I--
[19:34] ---
    You stay out of this!
[19:38] ---
    Misaka, don't argue, just come over here.
[19:41] ---
    Huh?
[19:42] ---
    You're in danger there!
[19:46] ---
    D-Don't be silly! I didn't need
    to have you helping me like that,
[19:52] ---
    I could have done it myself!
[19:54] ---
    And what is it you want to tell me?
[19:56] ---
    I told you, I'll tell you later!
[19:58] ---
    That spot is dangerous!
[20:00] ---
    I don't want you to get hurt!
[20:05] ---
    What are you, dumb?
[20:07] ---
    Y-You don't have to worry about me...
[20:09] ---
    ...over a competition such as this...
[20:15] ---
    Geez, don't go startling me,
    and making me blurt stuff out...
[20:21] ---
    Huh? What?!
[20:30] ---
    Keep quiet, and hold still for a second.
[20:33] ---
    Huh? U-Um...
[20:38] ---
    It can't be!
[20:40] ---
    Damn! Does it hurt that much,
    Misaka? Do you have a fever?
[20:44] ---
    I-It's nothing at all, really!
[20:47] ---
    Tsuchimikado! Over on this pole!
[20:50] ---
    "Property of Nogi Middle School"
[20:51] ---
    I was wrong?
[20:55] ---
    Kamijo Toma! What are you doing here?!
[20:59] ---
    I was wondering why you
    ran off in such a hurry earlier,
[21:01] ---
    but what are you doing here?
[21:03] ---
    In any case, we have to
    start the whole event over!
[21:14] ---
    Fukiyose!
[21:16] ---
    W-What?
[21:21] ---
    Kami, go hit Fukiyose! She's not a magician!
[21:24] ---
    She won't be able to take any more of this!
[21:35] ---
    Fukiyose, are you okay?
[21:38] ---
    Fukiyose!
[22:00] ---
    Okay, fine, Oriana Thomson...
[22:06] ---
    If this is the way you're going to play it...
[22:09] ---
    After you so ruthlessly
    drag innocent bystanders in,
[22:12] ---
    if you're just going to watch
    on and feel nothing about it...
[22:17] ---
    ...then I'll take your screwed-up fantasy...
[22:20] ---
    ...and personally dispatch
    it until there's nothing left!
[22:25] ---
    I can change even the
    destiny that entwines me
[22:32] ---
    so I have everything in my hand!
[22:49] ---
    If I lack the power to
    not be outdone by anyone
[22:55] ---
