UTW & Mazui Presents
Toaru Majutsu no Index
yubi de hajiku koin mitsumeta
I watched the coin as I flicked it from my finger
omote nara go ura wa stay
Heads means go, tails means stay
mazu kotae wo kikasete
But first, let me hear your answer
douka oshiete kuremasen ka
"Could you please tell me?"
tenshi wa misadameru egao no mama
The angels kept their smiles while judging us
mayoe sono te wo hiku mono nado inai
Lose your path! No one will hold your hand along the way
kami ga kudasu sono kotae wa fukou datta
The answer God gave was unfortunate
sou sore koso kami kara no okurimono
Yes, that is what God's gift is
norikoetara miete kuru sa dakara ima sugu
You'll see once you overcome it, so for now...
No buts!
Move Point Coordinate Movement
What?
None of them are civilians...
Seems like she underestimated my powers, assuming I wouldn't teleport myself away.
I can do it whenever I want.
If I just feel like it, regardless of the trauma...
Is it not called trauma due to the fact that you cannot overcome it so easily?
Two years ago, you sustained serious injuries after teleporting yourself.
Did you perhaps make some sort of mistake during your coordinate calculations and run into a wall?
My, oh my, isn't that pathetic?
There is no reason to fret.
I avoided your vital areas.
Truthfully, all I am doing is repeating what you have done to me.
Have this hemostatic.
It helps to prevent bleeding.
Now, if you would be so kind as to lay down and treat your wounds.
Once completed, we can consider ourselves even.
You must be quite fond of Tokiwadai's Ace.
However, is she really worth going this far to protect?
Is the Railgun's selfish yet sentimental dream world worth it?
But of course.
Albeit a selfish wish, it is one that Onee-sama desires.
A world where neither one of us interferes.
By mere flick of a coin, she could destroy everything in her path if she so desired.
Even so, Onee-sama is someone who can honestly say that she doesn't want to fight even in deepest despair.
Do you truly think that I could just ignore those emotions?
Now, I am going to have you return her life back to normal.
The life that someone, somewhere, dreamed of.
One that I support.
Then if I trample over those feelings...
I wonder if I'll come out the winner?
The same trick will not work a second time!
I cannot teleport?!
What's wrong?
Were you in so much pain that you lost your ability to teleport?
Hey, have you ever heard of this story?
"Once upon a time, there was a powerful Esper and an organization."
"The organization believed that, if they could increase the number of powerful Espers, they may gain immense powers."
"Many clones were produced."
"But the results were horrible."
"The little lambs that were created didn't even have a percentage of the original's power."
"They were complete failures."
"I will now organize what we know so far," says MISAKA-10032 while opening the network, calling out to its many members.
"Currently, only Academy City has the Remnant necessary to restore Tree Diagram."
"The name of the outside organization targeting it is 'Science Society.'"
"There's no mistake in that intel, is there?" confirms MISAKA-10032 again.
"There is certainly no mistake," affirms MISAKA-10044.
"But 10032, you sustained a lot more damage than any of the others."
"Shouldn't you remain in the hospital?" asks MISAKA-10744 worriedly.
"It doesn't matter," replies MISAKA-10032, immediately.
"The restoration of Tree Diagram must be prevented at all costs,"
says MISAKA-10032 as she reaffirms her determination, remembering the faces of that boy and girl.
"Understood. It's up to you then," nods MISAKA-14458 in agreement.
"We'll leave it to you," agrees MISAKA-19002.
"MISAKA is also counting on you!" says MISAKA as MISAKA makes her request.
"No wait, MISAKA wants to do something too!"
"I can't just stay here and do nothing!" says MISAKA as MISAKA—
Hey!
Be quiet!
What the hell are you mumbling to yourself for?
Huh?
"Nothing!" says MISAKA as MISAKA covers her mouth.
Hey, Shirai-san.
The clones are genetically identical to the original, and even went through the exact same power development training.
So why didn't the clones reach the same level as the original?
Doesn't this mean that there are other factors other than brain structure that matter?
If we can find those, wouldn't non-humans also be able to use powers?
You only need intelligence on-par, or better than, that of human.
The answer might be closer than you think.
What are you saying...?
Are you aiming to power-up the machine...?
A machine is merely a machine.
However, it can make a prediction.
So long as we have an ultimate simulating machine that can recreate every possibility.
I will investigate every possibility.
Can non-humans use Esper powers or not?
For example, dolphins are called the humans of the sea, and the society of ants has a rigid set of rules and an order of command.
Psychic powers may not be limited to humans.
So why does it have to be humans?
I want to know the answer.
And that is why I will use this Remnant to create a new Tree Diagram!
Ouch!
Why did you do that all of a sudden?!
Let go!
I mean, I'm sorry! Please let go!
Index-san!
You're so mean, Touma!
Huh?
I went out of the way to think of a tongue-twister too!
Okay, so...
"Touma is a twat that takes tofu from the toilet"...
No matter how you look at it, you're just making fun of me!
I was just joking...
Misaka...?
"I have a request," says MISAKA from the bottom of her heart as she faces you directly.
"Please save the lives of MISAKA and her sisters."
I won't let that happen!
That experiment...
No matter what, I won't allow it to start again!
Signs of a fight between two Espers in a restaurant in Area F?
That idiot!
I've been looking for you, Biribiri.
Looking for me? Why?
Why are you always...
Hey.
Let's go, Biribiri.
You joined up with external organization for that sole purpose?
Yes.
Even with the invaluable Remnant in my possession, I cannot repair it alone.
That's why I need an organization with the technology, knowledge, and aim.
How did you feel, Shirai-san?
When you first gained possession of your power.
To be honest, it was scary for me.
I was scared of how I could hold such power in my grasp.
It didn't have to come to a human, and certainly didn't have to come to me...
...so why do I have this power?
The children with me harbor the same anguish.
They curse their powers and continue to search for answers.
That's why they did not hesitate to cooperate with me, even if it meant becoming my shield.
Has it not happened to you as well?
Where you've used your power to hurt someone.
I can understand.
You and I are much alike.
Well, Shirai-san?
If you also wish to know the truth, I'd be more than happy to fill you in.
I refuse.
Did you really think you could convince me, Shirai Kuroko, with such narcissistic words?
What a typical criminal.
Everything you say is so sad.
Can't you understand?
We Espers may not have needed to become monsters!
Such a dangerous—
Ridiculous!
One's power is nothing more than a power, no matter how far it is taken.
How you use your power is up to you.
How stupid can you be not to realize something so obvious?
You are scared of your own powers?
You do not want it because it may hurt someone?
Give me a break.
Whether you have a power or not does not change whether or not you are the type of person who will harm another.
You are merely stating that you are special and no one else is.
You are nothing but a corrupted individual with a condescending attitude!
I will now proceed to...
...beat that rotten conviction of yours into shape!
No...
No... go away!
I'll kill you...
You've destroyed all that I've lived for.
Were it not for you, I would still have hope!
The maximum weight I can move with my Move Point is 4,520kg.
I can smash things into this building from a distance.
I'm certain I can make this building collapse, with you in it!
Oh? You still needed that case?
I'll destroy you!
Much like you've killed all that I am.
I'll be sure to return the favor!
Onee-sama...
4,520kg...
This light...
Onee-sama!
Stay away, Onee-sama!
Kuroko!
Who... are you...?
This is A001 calling M000.
I'll make my report after confirming the code...
Tricking the children and hiding in a safe place to watch the show...
You must be enjoying yourself!
What should I do?
What on Earth should I do?
Oh man...
I took all the trouble to come out here...
And what am I presented with? Some third-rate loser?
No way...
Accelerator?
The strongest Level 5 in Academy City that even the Railgun cannot defeat?
I can't!
How can I...
How can I face someone like that?!
I know!
Huh?
You should have lost your power on August 31st.
That's right...
You no longer have your calculation ability!
You no longer have the power you once had!
How pitiful.
So pitiful that I would hug you tight if you were being serious.
It's true that I suffered brain damage that day.
I now perform my calculations externally.
However...
The fact that I've gotten weaker doesn't mean that you've gotten any stronger!
It's useless!
From here on, the road belongs to me, Accelerator!
Just put your tail between your legs and get your ass back where you came from!
Well...
In this state, I might be retiring from the title of strongest in Academy City...
But even so...
I've decided that I will at least continue to call myself the strongest in front of that brat!
Damn it...
Hey, look, Touma!
I've finally mastered how to buy juice!
Right.
What's wrong, Touma?
What do you mean, "What's wrong?"
I came to pay Shirai a visit...
So I decided to go see Misaka's sister instead...
Such misfortune...
So what was the Remnant?
You came out of the building looking all cool with the person who was just naked in your arms,
but you didn't actually figure out anything later, did you?
Yeah.
Some girl who's apparently the culprit got all beaten up,
and what was in the case was smashed to pieces.
Sheesh, I wonder who did it?
"So I heard that ultimately Yomikawa went outside and destroyed the 'Science Society.'"
"Apparently they had approached Amai Ao, too," says MISAKA as MISAKA makes a report.
Oh, yeah?
"Hey, what's with the lack of enthusiasm?!" says MISAKA as MISAKA—
You're way too loud.
Show me your appreciation by being quiet.
Today's weather forecast wasn't accurate either.
Yeah.
Onee-sama, I have realized something.
That the place I saw yesterday was none other than your battlefield.
Kuroko...
This whole incident stemmed from my own inexperience.
So Onee-sama, please keep smiling.
I will use that smile as energy to get back on my feet once more.
Yeah.
Thank you, Kuroko.
