| At night in Academy City, Toma Kamijo meets the third most powerful Level 5 esper Mikoto Misaka at a bridge after saving her from delinquents inside a restaurant. The following morning, Toma finds a hungry nun hanging on his dormitory's balcony. She introduces herself as Index from the Church of England. Index and Toma then engage in a debate about the existence of magic and his right hand's power called "Imagine Breaker" which can negate any supernatural abilities. Afterward, Index leaves as she is being pursued by magicians seeking the 103,000 grimoires in her head. After attending his supplementary lessons and encountering Mikoto again, Toma finds a wounded Index in front of his room when magician Stiyl Magnus showed up to retrieve her. Stiyl finds his magic attacks useless against Toma's Imagine Breaker and summons a fiery creature called "Innocentius". Toma manages to defeat Stiyl after destroying the runes surrounding the dormitory's floor, which keeps the creature alive. He later brings Index to his homeroom teacher Komoe Tsukuyomi for assistance in healing her. The next day, a recovering Index introduces Toma to her religion. |

| While heading to a public bath with Index, Toma meets magician Kaori Kanzaki. As the two fight, Kaori reveals that she and Stiyl are friends with Index and how her memory is being erased every year to protect the grimoires in her head. Three days after the battle, an injured Toma wakes up back inside Komoe's apartment with Index taking care of him and panics since he learns from Kaori that Index's memories need to be erased today. Afterward, Stiyl and Kaori arrive to prepare the ceremony required for the erasure of Index's memories. Toma left them and calls Komoe for information about memory capacity since he also learns that Index can only use 15% of her brain for unwanted memories while the remaining 85% is reserved for the grimoires. Komoe tells him that a human brain can store a huge amount of information for up to 140 years. With the newfound knowledge, Toma rushes back into the apartment and convinces the two magicians to give him time in saying a farewell message to Index. He then finds a hidden spell to be the cause of her predicament in her throat and negates it using the Imagine Breaker, resulting in her activating her defense mechanism called "John's Pen". A fight between the two ensues until Toma manages to save Index with the help of Stiyl and Kaori. The after-effect of John's Pen called "Feather of Light" causes Toma's memories to be erased instead, subsequently knocking him down. In a hospital the following day, Index visits Toma upon hearing about his memory loss. He chooses to hide it from her. |

| Back in his apartment on August 20, Toma allows Index to keep the newfound cat she named Sphynx. He later meets Mikoto by the vending machine. Their meeting is interrupted by the arrival of Kuroko Shirai, Mikoto's kōhai and a teleporter, and a sudden appearance of a person that looks like Mikoto. As Toma heads home while carrying juice cans, another Mikoto clone appears and decides to help him carry them. Meanwhile, the most powerful Level 5 esper Accelerator battles a Mikoto's clone in an alleyway. The following day, Toma meets the same clone from yesterday trying to feed an abandoned cat. He stops by a bookstore, leaving behind the clone and the cat. Toma then finds the cat alone and stumbles upon a dead Mikoto clone in an alleyway. He reports it to Anti-Skill, but they find no trace of the dead body. Toma then encounters Mikoto's clones called "Sisters", including the clone he is with earlier named Misaka 10032. Toma decides to visit Mikoto in her dormitory for questioning but finds Kuroko instead. When their dorm supervisor is about to visit the room, Kuroko hides Toma under Mikoto's bed since her teleportation power does not work on him. He discovers a document about a project that will make Accelerator a Level 6 esper by killing 20,000 clones. |

| At a bridge, Mikoto recalls how she agreed in the past to provide her DNA map for treating patients with muscular dystrophy and the sudden spread of rumors about her clones being used for military purposes. Toma then arrives to confront her about his discovery of the project. Mikoto decides to let herself be killed by Accelerator's first attack, which will throw out the experiment's calculation. Toma prevents her departure, causing Mikoto to attack him. After their confrontation, Toma decides to fight Accelerator instead. He later arrives at the scene where the experiment is being conducted between Accelerator and Misaka 10032. As their fight continues, Toma manages to land a hit on Accelerator despite struggling from his vector attacks. Accelerator then finds his power can compress the air, thus creating plasma. Mikoto suddenly arrives and sees a beaten Misaka 10032. She urges her to help Toma by reversing the wind turbines that will interrupt the plasma's formation. Toma finally knocks Accelerator down. The following day, Misaka 10032 visits Toma in a hospital and informs him about the cancellation of the Level 6 Shift Project due to Accelerator's defeat. Mikoto arrives with purchased expensive cookies, but Toma prefers them to be handmade. A worried Index also visits him. |

| Hyōka shocks to see her true form and runs away, resulting in Sherry chasing her. Toma then calls Komoe for information about Hyōka and learns that she is an artificial human created by esper's AIM diffusion fields. Toma still decides to save her as a friend and seeks assistance from nearby Anti-Skills led by Aiho Yomikawa. As Sherry attacks and scolds Hyōka for being a monster, Toma arrives with Anti-Skills to save her. He manages to knock Sherry down but she escapes from him. Toma deduces that she plans on targeting Index next but is unable to leave the underground mall due to the lowered security shutter doors. Hyōka then decides to pursue Sherry instead through the hole the latter created earlier during the escape. Index arrives at a construction site while pursuing Sphynx and suddenly gets attacked by Sherry's golem. Index manages to evade its attacks using Spell Intercept but struggles to defeat it. Meanwhile, Toma descends the hole and encounters Sherry. She then reveals that the golem named Ellis is based on her friend of the same name from Academy City, who died after using magic despite being an esper because of the experiment conducted by the Church of England and Academy City. This event pushes Sherry to start a war between the magic and science sides. Their fight ensues until Toma finally subdues her. Back on the ground, Hyōka saves Index in time from the golem. Toma later arrives and destroys it with his Imagine Breaker. Inside the Windowless Building, Motoharu discusses the recent incident with Academy City's Board Chairman Aleister Crowley. While Toma is in the hospital, Hyōka bids farewell to Index and returns to the Imaginary Number District. |

| Saiji further reveals that Orsola finds the Roman Catholic Church hard to live in since they see her as a threat for being the Book of Law's decoder. He explains that the Amakusa Church wants to follow their former priestess Kaori's good examples by helping Orsola. Toma hears Orsola's scream but is prevented by Sisters Lucia and Angelene from seeing her. A fight between them ensues until the two sisters retreat upon orders. Saiji plans on rescuing both Orsola and his captured comrades. After entrusting him with Orsola's safety, Toma, Index, and Stiyl head back to Academy City, but Toma still decides to charge in a church where the Roman Catholic nuns torture Orsola. As Toma is surrounded by the nuns, Index, Stiyl, Saiji, and his Amakusa Catholics arrive. A battle follows while Toma carries Orsola to safety. Meanwhile, Index uses her ability called "Sheol Fear" against the nuns, which can break down their minds upon hearing it, but they counter-attack the power by jabbing their ears. Toma, Index, Stiyl, Saiji, and Orsola temporarily barricade themselves to plan their next move. They propose using Orsola's decrypting skill for negotiation, but Index finds her decryption methods incorrect. They continue fighting the Roman Catholic nuns, while Kaori and Motoharu watch from a distance. Toma then confronts Agnese, who uses her Lotus Wand against him. Despite struggling with the weapon's invisible attacks, Toma manages to land a hit on Agnese. Index, Stiyl, and Saiji arrive and reveal that they set up Stiyl's runes around the place to summon a gigantic Innocentius. Toma then delivers the finishing blow to Agnese. The following day, Kaori visits Toma in a hospital and informs him that Orsola and the Amakusa Catholics are placed under the protection of the Church of England. Back in London, Laura reveals to Stiyl that placing the Amakusa Catholics under her can keep Kaori in check since she is one of the 20 powerful Saints in the world. |

Kuroko then intercepts the robbers and retrieves the stolen suitcase from them. Suddenly, another teleporter named Awaki Musujime attacks Kuroko and steals the suitcase. She informs her about the destruction of the Tree Diagram and how its retrieval will cause the resumption of a certain "experiment" that will make Mikoto worry. While treating her wounds in her dormitory, Kuroko receives further information from Kazari about Awaki's ability called "Move Point" and her position as a guide to the Windowless Building. She then decides to secretly track Mikoto and witnesses her confrontation with Awaki. After escaping from Mikoto, Awaki encounters Kuroko again in a restaurant. Meanwhile, Misaka 10032 visits Toma's apartment to ask for help. Back in the restaurant, Awaki subdues Kuroko and tells her that she plans on using the Tree Diagram's remnants for animals to inherit esper powers.

Toma then encounters Mikoto during the match and warns her not to touch the basket pole that might contain the Shorthand spell. Seiri drags Toma away but accidentally touches the real pole with the spell and falls unconscious. She is taken to the hospital under Heaven Canceller's care. With the destruction of the Shorthand spell, Stiyl finds Oriana's location using the tracking spell. An agitated Toma and Motoharu confront her, but the latter succumbs to her spell. Toma manages to hit Oriana despite struggling with her multiple spell attacks. Oriana decides to retreat, leaving an item she carried the whole time behind. It turns out to be a billboard sign instead of the Stab Sword. Back in London, Laura learns that the Stab Sword does not exist but rather a cross called "Croce di Pietro". The magicians then explain to Toma that the cross can put Academy City under the Roman Catholic Church's control. They temporarily postpone their pursuit of Oriana for them to acquire more information about the artifact. Toma and Index later join his parents, Mikoto, and her mother for lunch. Toma later meets Stiyl and both continue their hunt when Motoharu suddenly gets attacked by Oriana in his location. Motoharu bluffs that Kaori will arrive as a reinforcement from the Church of England, causing her to withdraw. A fleeing Oriana bumps into Aisa, who recently picks up Stiyl's rune cards. Believing that Aisa is part of the reinforcement, Oriana attacks her. |

They discover that the best location for the cross to work is District 23. They later arrive at the district's airport when they are attacked by Oriana. Despite struggling from Oriana's attacks, Toma and Stiyl manage to knock her down. She then recalls in her past how helping others with good intentions leads to misfortune. This causes her to trust in the cross' power for everyone's happiness. Oriana wounds Stiyl but is finally defeated by Toma after being rebuked for her actions. He suddenly learns from Lidvia over Oriana's communication spell about the cross being outside of Academy City all this time and Oriana's role as a decoy to lure enemies toward her. Toma learns that the night parade's schedule will cause its fireworks to cover the night sky, rendering the artifact useless. In a hospital, Toma is visited by his parents, Index, Kuroko, and Mikoto, who informed him about their current lead in their penalty game. Meanwhile, a fleeing Lidvia is forcefully ejected from her plane along with Croce di Pietro as Laura mocks her through a communication spell. Lidvia chooses to save the artifact and plunges toward her apparent death. The following day, Toma and Seiri visit Aisa in her hospital room. |

| Toma and Index arrive in Chioggia after winning a vacation trip to Italy. Index suddenly disappears while strolling with Toma, but Orsola shows up and brings him to her house where Index is found eating gelato. While dining with Index and Orsola, Toma meets a member of the Amakusa Church named Itsuwa. After helping pack up Orsola's belongings for her move to London, Toma and Index part ways with Orsola when they are suddenly attacked by the Roman Catholics. They manage to defeat the attackers, but Toma and Orsola accidentally board an ice-made ship that suddenly emerges from the canals. The ship then joins the others in the Adriatic Sea, forming a fleet called the "Queen's Fleet". Toma and Orsola hide in a room when Agnese suddenly finds them. She decides not to hand them over to the pursuers in exchange for saving Sister Lucia and Angelene. Toma and Orsola manage to free the two sisters, who both reveal a plan about using Agnese for the Rosary of the Appointed Time spell that will activate the large-scale magic of the fleet under their flagship called "Queen of the Adriatic Sea". Their ship is suddenly destroyed upon orders of Bishop Biagio Busoni to rid the intruders, sending Toma and the others under the sea. They are saved by Index, Saiji, and other Amakusa Catholics aboard a wooden submarine. Back on the shore, they discuss the purpose behind the fleet's sudden appearance and their plan in saving Agnese. Afterward, their rescue operation begins by sending decoy wooden ships to the Queen's Fleet. |

| Toma and the others manage to board a ship of the Queen's Fleet. During the fight with Agnese's battle nuns, Sister Angelene gets injured. Saiji and the Amakusa Catholics join the battle, allowing Toma, Index, and Orsola to reach the flagship. He splits up with Index and Orsola to get the attention of the ice golems. Toma later encounters Biagio, who decides to personally confront him. Biagio defeats him using his cross-related magic attacks. Index and Orsola arrive at Agnese's location, but Index draws the attention of incoming ice golems so Orsola enters the room alone. She finds Agnese inside an ice sphere when Biagio returns. He then reveals that the true purpose of activating the Queen of the Adriatic Sea is to destroy Academy City. A fight ensues between Orsola and Biagio until Agnese joins the former's side after learning the true reason behind the latter's actions. Toma joins them and prevents the self-destruction of the flagship, saving the Amakusa Catholics and Agnese's battle nuns. Following the incident, Orsola returns to London with Agnese, while Vento of the Front, a member of the God's Right Seat, forces Pope Matthai Reese of the Roman Catholic Church to sign an order investigating Toma as a threat. In Academy City, Toma encounters Mikoto demanding he takes the punishment for their penalty game after his loss at Daihaseisai. |

| While looking for Index, Toma finds unconscious Anti-Skills and encounters Last Order asking for help. Meanwhile, Vento, who is responsible for the sudden unconsciousness of civilians, infiltrates Academy City to kill Toma. She later encounters Amata who is attempting to destroy the van that contains Accelerator and Index fleeing from the scene. Accelerator drops off Index near Heaven Canceller's hospital and proceeds to a resource recycling facility in District 5 to obtain a "detergent" that can remove Last Order's "scent" from being tracked by Hound Dogs. He later engages in a fight with them until a lone member escapes and rendezvous with patrolling Anti-Skills, framing him as a murderer. Meanwhile, Toma and Last Order return to the scene, where the latter was kidnapped earlier, but are suddenly attacked by Hound Dogs. Vento neutralizes the Hound Dogs and proceeds on attacking Toma, but she suddenly retreats after feeling the side effects of using her magic. Toma uses the phone of Last Order, whom he told to flee the battle for safety, and gets in touch with Accelerator, who recently kills the Hound Dogs attacking Heaven Canceller's hospital for Index. Outside Academy City, Motoharu neutralizes a spell by the Roman Catholic Church intending to use it to skew unconscious civilians. Meanwhile, the Hound Dogs capture Last Order and installs her a virus that will bring forth Hyōka in her Fuse Kazakiri mode as a countermeasure against Vento. |

| Leaving the hospital, Index detects the presence of an "angel" in Hyōka's presence. She later encounters Mikoto and then Toma, who all agree to work together in saving Hyōka. Index explains the trigger for Vento's magic "Divine Punishment" and is instructed by Toma to work with Mikoto, who currently fights several Hound Dogs, to determine the nature behind the angel and the core that controls it. Toma reaches the area where Hyōka is and prevents Vento from attacking her since she sees her as a threat to the Roman Catholic Church. Vento reveals her hatred of science due to the death of her young brother, resulting in her joining God's Right Seat. Toma manages to defeat Vento when Acqua of the Back, another member of God's Right Seat, appears to retrieve her. Meanwhile, Accelerator attacks Amata's hideout after learning it from Academy City Board Director Thomas Platinaburg. Accelerator's choker later runs out of battery but still gathers strength to give Index, who arrives at the scene, time and stop Amata. With Mikoto's knowledge of the AIM diffusion fields, Index uses the power of singing to cut off Last Order from Hyōka's artificial angel form, saving the latter in the process. Following the death of Amata with his newfound power that produces pitch-black wings and Index's rescue of Last Order, Accelerator is approached by an unknown figure to have him join his side as a reparation for the recent events he is involved in. Three days after the incident, which is now known as the "09/30 incident", news about an impending war between Academy City and a religious group has stirred up tensions among Toma's class. They then decide to eat out in a sukiyaki restaurant. |

| Accelerator, now part of the dark side organization GROUP consisting of Etzali, Motoharu, and Awaki, is informed of a mission to stop the armed Level 0 espers called Skill-Out from launching an attack with their bo-hiya-type weapons in the middle of the crisis between Academy City and the Roman Catholic Church. GROUP heads out to eliminate the leader, Ritoku Komaba, but Awaki and Accelerator struggle to defeat him due to his military-grade ultrasonic elastic taping that enhances his body. Before he kills Ritoku, Accelerator learns that he has a young girl he needs to protect, which is similar to his situation. Meanwhile in London, the women of Necessarius' dormitory are visited by Sasha Kreutzev, a member of the Russian Orthodox Church's Annihilatus, who wants to inquire about whose side the Anglican Church will take on between Academy City and the Roman Catholic Church. Back in Academy City, Accelerator and Toma on separate occasions encounter a drunk Misuzu who is looking for the database center of Dangai University for her university report. Toma later receives a call from her informing him of armed men infiltrating the university, while Accelerator receives a call from GROUP's liaison informing him of an order tasking Skill-Out in attacking the university to kill Misuzu since she is helping parents retrieve their children in the city amidst the impending war. With Accelerator's help in the shadows, Toma manages to get Misuzu out of the university until they encounter Shiage Hamazura, the new leader of Skill-Out, but Toma is able to defeat him. After the incident, Misuzu is relieved that there are people like Toma who can make Mikoto safe in the city. Seeing that Misuzu doesn't need to retrieve her daughter out of the city anymore, GROUP is informed that her assassination has been called off. |

| In Vatican City, the Pope, Acqua, and Terra of the Left, another member of God's Right Seat, meet up to discuss their plan against Academy City. After having bad luck at school and meeting Mikoto, Toma is held at gunpoint by an old lady. She introduces herself as Monaka Oyafune, a member of Academy City's Board of Directors and the mother of his teacher Suama, and wants his help in ending the ongoing anti-Academy City riots around the world using his right hand's power. Motoharu then arrives and shoots Monaka, revealing that it is a necessary cover-up for possible retribution since her action is against the will of the pro-war Board of Directors. Toma and Motoharu board a plane heading to France, with the latter revealing the Document of Constantine artifact as the cause of worldwide riots. They parachute above Avignon, but Toma gets separated from Motoharu and drowns in a river when Itsuwa rescues him. She explains that her presence in France is to investigate its ley lines for the Document of Constantine's activation. They are suddenly attacked by the rioters while inside a coffee shop but manage to escape them. Toma and Itsuwa manage to cut through the rioters and arrive at a museum where a portion of the ley lines can be accessible. As Itsuwa prepares to damage it, Terra arrives and attacks them. In the Tower of London, Stiyl and Agnese interrogate prisoners Lidvia and Biagio for information about God's Right Seat. Lidvia explains that their goal is to erase the original sin. Back in Avignon, Toma and Itsuwa struggle against Terra's Execution of Light spell attacks when Motoharu shows up to join their battle. During their confrontation, powered suits from Academy City suddenly arrive. |

| Toma and Itsuwa head toward the Palais des Papes as Motoharu stays behind to deal with the powered suits. Terra suddenly arrives at the palace with the Document of Constantine. After dealing with the powered suits, Motoharu notices stealth bombers unleashing a weapon made up of 3 kg iron sands around the city. Meanwhile, Terra discovers that Toma is unable to fully use his Imagine Breaker due to memory loss. Toma manages to defeat Terra and destroys the Document of Constantine. Before Toma can learn the secrets of the Imagine Breaker from Terra, the palace is destroyed by the weapon of stealth bombers. Meanwhile, Mikoto learns about Toma's memory loss after hearing his conversation with Terra over the phone. Back in the Vatican City, Terra returns to inform Acqua about the Russian Orthodox Church joining forces with the Roman Catholic Church against the Church of England and Academy City. Acqua rebukes Terra's decision of using innocent people to adjust his spell and kills him. Back in Academy City, GROUP, consisting of Motoharu, Accelerator, Awaki, and Etzali, receive information about a person conspiring with a criminal organization. Motoharu subdues the person known as the "Management" and calls Etzali to infiltrate his apartment for information. SCHOOL operative Banka Yobō intercepts the transport vehicle that holds the Management and kills him.

| ITEM encounters the second most powerful Level 5 esper and SCHOOL leader Teitoku Kakine stealing the Tweezers in the laboratory. As they give chase to the fleeing Teitoku, ITEM's car is suddenly rammed by SCHOOL operative Kaibi Gokusai. Shizuri and Rikō split up with fellow member Shiage to continue the pursuit. Kaibi fails to capture Shiage but finds an injured Frenda instead. In Teitoku's hideout, MEMBER leader Professor arrives to suppress the rebellion against the Board Chairman but is killed by Teitoku. While at the satellite control center, Accelerator learns from Etzali about the BLOCK's goal to attack District 13 and subdues MEMBER operative Saraku. Meanwhile, Etzali learns that the team's actual objective is to shut down the city's outer wall security to aid in the entry of 5,000 mercenaries. He manages to bring down the mercenaries' numbers by getting the attention of six-winged helicopters. GROUP begins interrogating a captured mercenary. The captive reveals that they are hired to storm the juvenile hall where Awaki's former partners are imprisoned to use them as a bargaining chip for Awaki to guide them into the Windowless Building and destroy it. GROUP arrives at the juvenile hall in District 10 when MEMBER operative Xochitl shows up to confront Etzali for betraying their Aztec magic cabal. Accelerator stays behind to repel the remaining mercenaries as Motoharu and Awaki move forward. A defeated Xochitl reveals about reading an original grimoire that causes her body to unravel like bandages. Etzali manages to save her by borrowing a portion of the grimoire's power. Inside the juvenile hall, BLOCK operative Teshio Megumi disagrees with Saku's plan of using explosives to breach the prison rooms. She then subdues him and fights Motoharu and Awaki. Teshio knocks down Motoharu but is defeated by Awaki who overcomes her past trauma of using teleportation powers. |

| ITEM's hideout is suddenly attacked by Teitoku, who plans on taking out Rikō due to her AIM Stalker ability. Saiai helps Shiage and Rikō to escape. Rikō pushes Shiage inside an elevator for safety as they get cornered by Teitoku. Shiage later learns from Teitoku about the Body Crystal drugs that are being used to activate her powers. Teitoku retreats with Kaibi since they believe that Rikō's further use of her power will kill her, completing their plan in the process. Shiage brings her to Aiho for safety when Shizuri arrives with dead Frenda's half body. He then lures her away from the two by making her chase after him for the Body Crystal he possessed. Shiage hides in an automated plant refinement facility and avoids incoming attacks from Shizuri's Meltdowner power. She wounds his ear with a screwdriver, but he counter-attacks by stabbing her eye and takes her out with gunshots. Back in SCHOOL's hideout, Teitoku tells Kaibi about the scattered microscopic spy machines called "Underline" that are being used by Aleister to monitor Academy City and how the Tweezers can grab one Underline to contact the Board Chairman. Teitoku then reveals his desire to kill Accelerator so that he will become Aleister's main plan instead of him. Meanwhile, Kazari accompanies a lost Last Order who wants to find Accelerator. Teitoku arrives and interrogates Kazari for Last Order's location. Accelerator then arrives just as Teitoku is about to kill Kazari. |

| Accelerator struggles from Teitoku's Dark Matter ability, which produces white wings from his back. He still defeats him while protecting civilians around them. Aiho arrives and stops Accelerator from shooting an injured Teitoku but is suddenly stabbed by the latter. Accelerator goes berserk and begins to hardly strike Teitoku until Last Order shows up and calms him down. A recovering Accelerator escapes from a hospital and reunites with GROUP, which then discusses an organization called "DRAGON" that is not present in recent events. A few days later, the Church of England receives Terra's remains and a letter from Acqua about his plan of crushing Toma. Back in Academy City, Toma's class struggles with getting lunch so they plan on going outside the school to buy one. As Toma, Motoharu, Pierce, and Seiri head out, their teacher, Saigo, finds them and chases Toma. Meanwhile, Itsuwa waits outside Toma's school when she sees him being pursued by a man she thought to be Acqua. After school, Itsuwa warns Toma about being targeted by Acqua but proclaims that she will protect him as his live-in bodyguard. Later night in Toma's apartment, Index accidentally destroys their bathtub from cleaning it. Itsuwa then suggests going to a bathhouse in District 22 instead. After they took bath, Toma and Itsuwa are suddenly attacked by Acqua. Their fight concludes with Acqua giving a one-day extension for handing over the right arm to a badly injured Toma. He is later admitted to a hospital as Itsuwa and the rest of the Amakusa Catholics, who also get defeated by Acqua while guarding him, watch over him. Saiji admonishes Itsuwa for blaming herself and begins to prepare their counter-attack. |

| The Amakusa Catholics prepare to attack Acqua after Kaori learned about his weakness. Toma arrives to counter Acqua's attack with his Imagine Breaker as the Amakusa Catholics defeat him with the Saint Destroyer spell. Following the battle, Itsuwa and Index are in Toma's hospital room when Kaori shows up wearing an erotic maid outfit that is suggested by Motoharu to show her gratitude. Sometime later in Vatican City, Fiamma of the Right proposes to the Pope to annihilate the United Kingdom to obtain something that they can use against Academy City. A fight ensues between them, with the Pope losing against Fiamma. The Pope orders Vento to capture him. In London, Kaori and the Knight Leader discuss the incident in the Eurotunnel and the hostility between France and the United Kingdom. After school, Toma encounters Mikoto and tells her to keep his memory loss a secret. Later in his apartment, Motoharu instructs Toma to go to London. Suddenly, a smoke bomb attacks him and Index and they lose consciousness, only for them to wake up later in an airport. Toma and Index take a regular flight to the United Kingdom via the Sky Bus airliner. While the plane temporarily lands in France, Toma sees blood in a room when a flight attendant restrains him. The flight crew reveals a terrorist who is hiding among the passengers. Meanwhile, the terrorist named Musset occupies Toma's seat to install an emergency landing jammer near its seat when Index discovers him. Toma saves Index as she is about to get killed by the terrorist in a room close to his. The plane suddenly detects a loss of fuel, which is revealed to be magic by Laura to force an emergency landing in the countryside. Her magic is later interfered with by an unknown organization from Scotland. Toma deduces that there is another terrorist in the plane and finds him in the cargo hold planning to bomb it. The terrorist is later subdued by him with Stiyl's help who arrives on another plane as per Laura's instruction. |

| Arriving at an airport in Edinburgh, Toma and Index are picked up by Kaori and brought to Buckingham Palace, where they meet the Knight Leader and Queen Elizard. Elizard introduces Toma to the second replica of the Curtana sword she is wielding and explains how it is related to the three factions in the United Kingdom–Royal, Knights, and Church–that control the country. Toma then meets the Queen's daughters: Riméa, Carissa, and Villian. During the meeting, Elizard orders the Knight Leader and Index to investigate the Eurotunnel incident and Kaori to find the magic cabal that has interfered with Sky Bus 365 emergency landing. Kaori learns from Agnese the involvement of the New Light cabal in the interference and their recent excavation. Carissa orders Toma to join Oriana, who has made a deal with the Anglican Church, in capturing New Light. In London, New Light members Bayloupe, Lessar, and Floris have arrived with each holding a Skíðblaðnir suitcase. Lessar encounters Toma and Oriana, while Bayloupe and Floris are respectively captured by Itsuwa and Kaori. Meanwhile, Agnese deduces with Lucia and Angelene the suitcases' capability to teleport the hidden excavated item between them. She then contacts Toma, who is in the middle of pursuing Lessar, to inform him about the suitcases. Toma manages to capture Lessar, but the latter teleports the hidden item to Lancis, another member of New Light who is currently located outside the city, and also reveals the existence of the fifth suitcase. The Knight Leader, who owns the fifth suitcase, receives the item from Lancis, which turns out to be the original Curtana sword. Carissa wields it and with the backing of the Knights of England, declares a coup d'état against the British monarchy. The Knights of England and the police force in the country begin their operation toward other factions, facing off against the witches, Agnese Forces, and Laura and Elizard. At the Eurotunnel, Carissa mobilizes the country's military force toward France after confirming with Index about the French's involvement in the bombing. |
