The Croce di Pietro turned out to be a troublesome relic that could be activated regardless of the location or season.
At this rate, Academy City will be conquered by the Roman Church at sunset.
I can't let them do that!

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!
Croce di Pietro
My, what convenient place to put your head!
Damn...
It's starting to get dark.
Isn't it about time for you to go home?
Or do you want to spend a stimulating night with me?
One more...
I just need one more edge in this fight.
One more!
Its name is fire.
Its form is that of a sword.
Appear. Devour my body to gain strength.
Innocentius!
Let's go, Innocentius!
Fortis931...
Prove to them why my name is the strongest!
Die, both of you!
You idiot!
Crap—
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust.
Vampire killer, crimson cross!
Go home, you lame magician!
Shut up, you amateur!
Innocentius!
Get out of the way!
No, you get out of the way!
What is this?
I can't tell how they're moving like this...
A basis.
I need an absolute basis.
Clear rules.
So that no one else will suffer misfortune because of differences in values.
A perfect world...
That's why I have to win.
I'll win and reach an answer.
I am...
My name is Basis104.
Get down, amateur!
Stiyl!
Where are you going?
Your opponent is over here.
That's enough, already.
How many people do you have to hurt?
I don't want to hurt anyone, you know.
But I have an objective.
Now, come.
If I crush you, my mission's complete.
The Croce di Pietro and Roman Church will make the perfect world for me.
What kind of objective is that?
Stop talking so arrogantly when you're just watching others do the work for you.
Do the work for me, huh...
Yeah. I don't really care who it is.
Someone just has to group up the various principles and ideas of the world.
And I'm going to protect that basis no matter what.
So that's your objective.
I don't really get those kind of complicated arguments.
But I can't just give into such a stupid request like handing over Academy City and everyone in it.
You can say that because you don't know, boy.
You've never seen someone just stand there in shock at what is occurring in front of her.
You've never heard someone simply say, "It hurts."
Even then, that's no reason to attack Academy City.
That doesn't justify using someone as a stepping stone for someone else's sake!
No matter what!
The issues you're having are things that everyone feels.
Everyone fails, and sometimes they fall.
But if you fall, you can just stand back up!
Even if you look miserable, even if everything doesn't go as planned, you have to stand up!
Don't just throw someone else's life!
Which will you choose, Oriana Thomson?
Just because you failed once, are you going to let others do things for you?
If they failed, are you going to lend those failures a hand?
I'm ending this.
I state this to all of the abilities in my body:
Unleash your full potential, and destroy the target in front of you!
Damn it...
Sheesh!
Can't you put even a little effort into making this festival a success?
I have a bit of a problem.
Come.
Don't expect anything.
This is beyond my expertise.
Go, Kami-yan.
Everyone...
They were all trying to protect the present.
I'll be back at your hospital room before the Night Parade starts.
So wait for me, no matter what!
That was the mark of my determination.
And I'm just going to let that all go to waste?
Like hell!
Stiyl!
Don't worry about me, go for the Croce di Pietro.
Make Oriana reveal where it is.
Stop it from activating...
You need not worry.
Everything will end soon.
Lidvia Lorenzetti...
The Croce di Pietro will soon activate, and Academy City will be put under the Roman Catholic Church's control.
Are you going to just get rid of people like us who get in the way?
We grieve over your wounds and wish to heal them as well.
Of course, only if we can determine that doing so will profit the Roman Church.
What?!
Don't argue with her, Kamijou Touma.
Lidvia should be close by.
The cross, too...
I should clarify.
The Croce di Pietro is not in Academy City at the moment.
What?
At its peak, the area of Roman Catholic Church revival affected by the Croce di Pietro was 47,000 square kilometers.
It's safe to assume that it'll easily cover the entirety of Academy City even if it's activated outside.
They got us...
Oriana was just a decoy.
It's unfortunate that she was defeated, but the Croce di Pietro will turn even that into a beneficial situation.
The only point that is of concern to us now is that science will bow to religion.
By denying science and showing our power, we will show the power of the Lord.
Searching and attacking...
Tsuchimikado can't use magic twice in that state.
Damn it!
What should I do then?!
We will not destroy Academy City.
Once we make you throw away the cult of science, we will embrace you as loving comrades.
Call Tsuchimikado
and have him use his search magic to calculate Lidvia's location.
If I use my communication spell, we can leave it to the forces outside.
It's useless.
The Croce di Pietro will change the world in...
107 seconds.
Checkmate!
Is there no other way?
Some trump card to turn this situation around?
A spell used by the constellations in the night sky...
Gathering starlight on the ground...
Tsuchimikado!
How many points outside of Academy City are there that can cover all of Academy City?!
What?
Shut up and answer me!
Where's the furthest point matching those criteria?
The northern perimeter of Academy City.
About 1700 meters out.
What about it?
Daihaseisai Schedule
20 more seconds...
It's the end.
You're right, it's the end.
If this is the end, then it's over for me.
Hey, don't you think so Lidvia?
Even if I destroyed your illusion, I couldn't even keep the promise I made with my classmate.
What are you—
Wh-Wha—
The current time is exactly 6:30pm.
In case you didn't know...
That's when the Night Parade starts.
With this much light, the stars can be blotted out easily.
No matter where you are...
You lost to the light that everyone protecting the Daihaseisai created.
You should have figured out who the main character of the Daihaseisai is.
What now?
Personally I think you should destroy the Croce di Pietro and promise not to bother Academy City anymore.
Are you serious?
You must have forgotten that I am a devout member of the Roman Catholic Church.
Oh really?
Then I guess you're going to be running around in a game of tag, just like a sports festival...
Lidvia Lorenzetti.
So...
You engaged in a battle that may have determined the fate of Academy City and the world without letting me know,
and on top of that, you got hospitalized after getting beaten up by a mage.
But Index-san, whenever I mention magic you always come stumbling right into the middle of it.
Touma, that makes it sound like I'm really stupid!
The fact that you never noticed shows that you're a real—
My my, what a delightful scene.
We're having a serious talk here, so get out, short hair.
Kuroko.
Ordinary citizens are allowed to cooperate in Judgment's peacekeeping, right?
Onee-sama, you do realize this is a hospital...
Damn.
Well whatever.
Did you see today's final results?
Our school sailed right past yours into first place!
I hope you haven't forgotten about our agreement.
B-But I can't do anything like that with my body in this condition...
Then...
Be prepared to die.
Poor Oriana Thompson.
I must save her.
And all those poor lost sinners.
Ahem, attention please!
This is the Archbishop of the Church of England, Laura Stewart.
And now that I've introduced myself, you can't ignore me right, Lidvia-ojouchan?
How did you find me in this private jet?
I had them slap on a little present onto the wall of your plane at Haneda.
You're quite creepy, as always.
That personality of yours where you laugh harder the more you're pressured...
Isn't there anything you can do about that?
The harsher the pain, the sweeter the joy will be upon overcoming it.
I must give thanks to the Lord.
What?
The taller a wall is, the greater the satisfaction upon getting over it, huh...
There is some truth in what you say...
you little animal at the edge of a cliff!
Lidvia, I don't mind saving you if you give up on Rome's teachings and lick my feet.
What nonsense are you talking about?
I see...
Then maybe you and that thing can make a crater.
The Croce di Pietro!
I won't allow that to happen!
At this speed of descent I should make it...
No, I definitely will make it!
I have no time...
but that's what makes it fun!
Now then, Lidvia...
Which will you pick?
The most powerful spiritual tool in the world,
or the lost and pitiful servant?
The greater the challenge,
the greater the satisfaction once you trample over me, the creator of the challenge, right?
I will trample...
over that unreachable flower...
as much as I want!
That was quite the tremor.
The development of the key, Imagine Breaker, is still unstable.
Will I be able to use this?
I may have to consider the possibility of taking action myself.
What are you doing here?
I was sleeping on the bench in the waiting room,
but they told me I can't use it in the morning...
This bed is so nice and soft...
Are you okay now?
Yes...
The frog doctor said I can leave tomorrow or the day after.
You look kind of sad, Aisa...
Why?
Did he go do something reckless again?
Yeah, he did.
Oh right, I haven't heard all the details yet,
but apparently the Roman Catholic magicians tried to take advantage of the Daihaseisai to attack.
And so, without saying a single word to me,
he went on a huge rampage and only told me about it like he was making a report after it all happened!
Unacceptable!
I see...
It doesn't matter who it is...
He'll help out anyone in need...
Not just me.
Maybe I shouldn't have been saved...
It looks like all I do is cause trouble for everyone.
Of course not.
Touma seems to enjoy spending time with you, after all.
Hold on, Fukiyose-san!
What kind hospital visit is this, suddenly slapping me like that?
Be quiet!
Anyone would be surprised with seeing a naked boy!
You're the one who barged in while I was in the middle of changing!
What was that?!
Hey...
Why does he fight?
Do you know?
I wonder.
When I asked him, he said it was for his own sake.
Maybe that's what happiness is for Touma.
