Chapter 66 - Vol 3 - Prologue

"Aureolus Izzard is someone who is very talented in Alchemist I admit that," Hiko said with a sigh. "There are many rumors that say that in the future he will become an Alchemist on par with his ancestor Paracelcus, it's just that because of his obsession with Index Prohibitum, Aureolus instead took the wrong path and now must die because of the wrong path he has chosen. The world has lost a very talented person because of Laura Stuart's lies."

"Aureolus refuses to believe all the facts and facts about Index that I've told him, he has undergone severe brainwashing from Laura Stuart just like Stiyl Magnus, Kanzaki Kaori can survive brainwashing because she is a Saint, it's just that she can be influenced by Laura Stuart's words because Kanzaki Kaori is an innocent and an air headed girl so she is very easily influenced by other people," Touma said who sighed just like Hiko.

"Since the problem with the magic side has been resolved, isn't it time for you to take care of one more problem that you have to solve, Touma," Hiko said, whose expression turned more serious. "One problem from the science side that I don't think will be as serious as the problem from the magic side."

"You mean about Misaka 10032 being about to be killed by Accelerator who is still watching Yuragi Sou a hundred meters from outside Yuragi Sou's territory?" Touma said. "Accelerator is a Level five Esper that ranked below mine, and his power over Vector isn't something to be underestimated. Although I'm sure that I can kill him in an instant by relying on super fast attacks using quick moves, because physically he won't be able to react to my attacks. Because Accelerator's physical strength is below average because he relies too much on his Esper power for everything."

When Touma finished remembering the talk he had with his grandfather. He knew that he needed to quickly solve the problems related to Accelerator as well as Misaka 10032. Although he actually felt very lazy about fighting Accelerator, because for Touma fighting someone like Accelerator who was weaker than himself was tantamount to torturing someone who lacked fighting skills.

At this time when Touma and Shizuka were jogging together, Touma could still feel the presence of Accelerator through the AIM field reflection that covered his entire body. Accelerator was not far from where he and Shizuka were currently jogging.

"Touma-san, can you also feel the existence of the mysterious Esper who has been watching over Yuragi Sou for the last few days?" Asked Shizuka when she saw Touma with a very serious tone of voice.

"Yup, he has such a large amount of AIM that he can cover his entire body with an AIM field," Touma replied. "Most likely the person watching over Yuragi Sou is a Level Five Esper whose level is below mine namely the number one Accelerator. And most likely he is keeping an eye on Yuragi Sou to wait for Misaka 10032 who is the target he has to kill in order to reach Level six."

"Accelerator, huh," Shizuka said who looked relieved. "If it's just him though, I'm sure Touma-san can beat him easily. So I guess there's nothing to worry about, about him. After all, all Level Five Espers will become as weak as babies if they enter Yuragi Sou's area."

"Yes, but there's no way I'm going to let Accelerator stay near Yuragi Sou's territory like that, because his presence will prevent Misaka 10032 from ever getting out of Yuragi Sou," Touma said. "And I already have a good idea to drive Accelerator the number one away from Yuragi Sou by sacrificing the number three."

A very loud sneezing sound could be heard in one of the rooms in the Tokiwadai Dormitory. And the one who let out a very loud sneeze was Academy City's third strongest Level Five Esper (Fourth in reality), Misaka Mikoto who was currently in the toilet.

Misaka Mikoto was completely confused as to why she could suddenly sneeze that hard even though she didn't have a cold. And because of that too loud sneeze, Mikoto's neck was currently slightly injured so she couldn't move her head in any other direction. Mikoto's head was currently facing to the left and she couldn't move it at all, because if she tried to move it in any other direction she would feel excruciating pain.

When Mikoto exited the toilet, a large amount of harsh words spilled out of her mouth. Because she felt very annoyed with the bad luck she was currently experiencing.

"Onee-sama, what's wrong with your head?" Asked Kuroko who was awakened by Mikoto's loud sneezing sound. "Why does your head keep turning to the left like that?"

"Earlier I sneezed so hard to the point I sprained my neck and so I couldn't move my head in any other direction," Mikoto replied, whose face looked angry.

"And for some reason when I sneezed earlier, the face of that idiot Touma popped into my mind. I'm one hundred percent sure that he was talking about me and that's what made me sneeze!"

"Onee-Sama sneezing because other people talk about you is something that doesn't make sense," Kuroko said who didn't know how to react to Mikoto's words. On one hand she felt annoyed and jealous because Mikoto thought about Touma and on the other hand she felt like laughing because Mikoto still believed in superstitions. "In an era where science is very advanced like now isn't it strange that Onee-Sama still believes in such things?"

"Kuroko, I'm not having a cold and I also don't feel that my nose is itchy, plus this isn't the first time I've sneezed because someone is talking about me," Mikoto said who had sat back down on her bed. "So I believe I sneezed because of that idiot Touma! Looks like today I have to visit him at Yuragi Sou right after school! And ask him if he's talking about me or not!"

"Your neck is injured Onee-Sama, wouldn't it be better if you stayed in the dormitory and were absent from school until your neck healed," Kuroko said who really didn't want Mikoto to meet Touma. "I'll tell your homeroom teacher as well as the matrons that you can't go to school because you're currently injured."

"Hmm, you're right," Mikoto said as she touched her chin with her index finger and thumb. "If I go to school with a neck and head like this, Misaki Shokuhou will make fun of me. It seems that today it would be better if I absent from school first and go to the hospital to treat my neck."

Kuroko felt super relieved because Mikoto decided not to go to school, because if Mikoto went to school Kuroko was sure that Mikoto would meet Touma. From Mikoto's expression when she talked about Touma, Kuroko was one hundred percent sure that Mikoto was starting to have feelings for Touma and if Mikoto saw Touma frequently, Kuroko was afraid that Mikoto's feelings for Touma would only grow.

"And later this afternoon after I finish checking myself into the hospital, I'm going to see that idiot!"

Kuroko's face turned pale when she heard Mikoto's words, she underestimated and forgot about Mikoto's insistence.
