Editing Toaru Majutsu no Index:GT Volume10 Chapter1 (section)

===Part 10===

The plan was to attack Alice Anotherbible somewhere in Academy City.

The attack would happen at midnight tonight.

The location would be somewhere linked to Kamijou Touma. The pointy-haired boy’s own experience and knowledge would be more helpful there than any magical knowledge.

Anna Sprengel did not know how much existing magic could accomplish against the monster named Alice. Since the Rosicrucian founder, Christian Rosencreutz, had been killed so easily, it would be nearly impossible to defeat Alice with only Rosicrucian spells.

But if Alice was not stopped, Academy City would be overwhelmed by rioting crowds.

It didn’t matter if Alice meant for it to happen or not.

A day before, Miss Sprengel might have snorted with laughter and stirred up more trouble. She would have eliminated all thoughts of morals or good sense so no one on either side could predict her actions, allowing her to achieve results beyond her abilities. That was just how that wicked woman worked.

But things had changed.

“…”

It was January 6 at 10 PM.

A battle against Alice would be bad enough on its own, but needing to rescue a hostage too made it an exceedingly delicate matter. They had to gather intel and then finalize their plan before making their move, so it was about time to get started. Anna walked through the small room and knocked on the door to the bathroom the pointy-haired boy was using as a bed.

No response.

Puzzled, she called for him and then tore open the door, lock and all, with her small hand.

There was no one inside.

“Fool…?”
