Chapter 58 - Kanzaki Kaori Return

"Uukh, I'm sorry Chitose-san. I didn't mean to make you feel shocked like that at all," Kaori said while holding her head which hurt from being hit by Chitose. "I had a bad feeling just now, that Index was having trouble. That's why I tried to come to Yuragi Sou as soon as possible, because I was worried about Index!"

"You may be worried about Index!" Chitose shouted who was holding her chest which was pounding because her heart was beating too fast due to Kaori who appeared suddenly. "But that doesn't mean you can come here while obliterating your presence like that you know! Good thing I don't have a heart disease otherwise I would have died!"

"Chitose, please forgive her, now is not the time to scold that Saint girl," Hiko said, interrupting the conversation between Chitose and Kaori. "You will only waste time if you scold that girl instead, so forgive that girl and let her go to save Index and Aisha along with Touma."

"Tssk alright," Chitose said while puffing her cheeks. "Kaori I just forgive you, I hope you don't try to do something like that again!"

"Fine, fine I understand," Kaori said while lowering her head towards Chitose. "I won't repeat what I did before, thank you for forgiving me Chitose-san."

The reason Kaori apologized so seriously to Chitose was because Kaori didn't want Chitose to make her having a bad luck again. Like Styl who currently can't come with her to Yuragi Sou because he is being treated in the hospital due to the severe injuries he experienced caused by the unlucky curse given by Chitose to Styl.

Ever since Stiyl got the curse, he always had bad luck that seemed to never end. Although until now Stiyl was still stubborn and did not believe that his bad luck was due to Chitose's curse.

"You know, I really don't need your help at all, you know, Kanzaki Kaori because you're weaker than me," Touma said who ran beside Kaori who wanted to quickly get to Misawa Cram school. "But because I know that you really care about Index, so I let you come with me."

"Tcch don't be arrogant Kamijou Touma, my loss to you that time was caused by my carelessness and I don't have enough information about your abilities," Kaori said who was irritated by Touma's words. "If the two of us fight one more time, I can assure you that you won't be able to win that easily! And I was forced to follow you because I didn't know where Index was!"

"Well, it's up to you, Kanzaki Kaori," Touma said who didn't seem to care about Kaori's words. "If we run like this I'm afraid that we will be too late to save Index as well as Aisha. So now please hold my hand because I will take us both to Misawa Cram School in one breath."

"Why do you have to hold your hand!" Ahouted Kaori with a red face because Touma suddenly asked her to hold his hand. "And how come you brought me all the way to Misawa Cram School in an instant just by holding your hand! Don't tell me that as an Esper you can teleport!"

"You guessed right, I can actually teleport," Touma said who forcibly touched Kaori's shoulder because Touma knew that Kaori would never want to touch his hand with her somewhat tsundere nature. "And since the only teleport I can do is a few hundred meters, I guess we'll need two or three teleports to get to Misawa Cram School."

Before Kaori could protest, Touma had already teleported. So Kaori didn't have time to say anything.

Right in front of the Misawa Cram School, Touma and Kaori arrived safely without any problems. They were in that place only by teleporting four times. Touma looked normal and fine, but not Kaori. Right now Kanzaki Kaori's face looked very pale, as if she had just experienced something scary.

"Are you alright Kanzaki Kaori?" he asked.

"It's okay!?" replied Kaori. "I had no idea that you could teleport! Especially with such an abnormal teleport speed! You make my head spin until I feel nauseous you know! Next time adjust your speed when teleporting!"

"I'm sorry, this is the first time I've used the teleport ability. After I copied it from someone," Touma said who really couldn't use the teleport that he copied from Kuroko properly. "The way I use Esper abilities is a bit different from normal Espers in Academy City who need to do complex calculations every time I use Esper powers, I prefer to use my instincts when I want to use my Esper powers."

"You're capable of copying the powers of other Espers!? What kind of underhanded ability is that!" Kaori said who looked shocked at Touma's ability. "How can there be such an ability in this world! And how many abilities have you imitated!"

"This isn't the time to be fussing about my Empathy Mimicry, it's not now more important for us to help Index and Aisha," Touma said. "I can clearly feel the presence of the two of them inside the building, but it seems like there's some kind of barrier or kekkai protecting the building that messes with one's perception. Even I can feel that all my senses are being messed up by that kekkai even though I'm outside of the kekkai."

Inside his private room, Aureolus Izzard was looking at the condition of Aisha and Index. Finally he can take Aisha back, he can even get Index. The girl he wanted to save. With Aisha around Aureolus intends to begin the ritual he needs to save Index from her fate as the vessel of one hundred three thousand grimoires as soon as possible.

But unfortunately, the joy that was felt by Aureolus disappeared in an instant when he saw the appearance of Touma and Kaori right in front of the Misawa Cram School building through the LED screen that was connected to all the surveillance cameras at Misawa Cram School.

"Tssk yet another intruder appeared while I was about to do something important!" Aureolus said while biting the nail of his right thumb. "But I'm not worried, with Hiko Seijuro's grandson and also with Kanzaki Kaori. Since Kanzaki Kaori isn't as strong as myself, and I know that Kamijou Touma hasn't recovered one hundred percent after he was defeated by Kagami Ikkoku, I'm confident that with my Ars Magna power I can defeat them both easily!"

"Hey, Hiko-kun are you sure that Touma-san can face the Ars Magna wielder, Aureolus Izzard who can change reality within certain limits?" Asked Chitose who looked a bit awry because she was worried about Touma. "He's never faced someone with the ability to change reality, right? I'm worried that Touma-san will have a hard time against Aureolus Izzard, especially since Touma-san's condition hasn't fully recovered yet."

"This is a good opportunity for Touma to increase his experience," Hiko replied. "Moreover all this time he's been a little arrogant because he never lost until he was defeated by Kagami. By fighting a troublesome enemy like Aureolus, Touma will learn a good lesson so that he knows that in this world there are many enemies who can defeat him even though he has a lot of abilities."
