Editing Toaru Majutsu no Index:GT Volume12 Chapter4 (section)

===Part 4===

There were no tricks this time.

In that terribly long and straight hallway, Kamijou and Stiyl clenched their right fists and raced toward each other.

The first blow would end it.

Everyone could tell.

It was endlessly barbaric and primitive.

But it had the refreshing feel of two knights on horseback engaged in single combat.

“Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!”

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!”

In real time, it couldn’t have lasted even a few seconds.

The moment of intersection arrived almost instantly.

Stiyl was the first to act.

He was around 2m tall, so even in supposedly equal single combat, he had the greater reach.

So what?

Kamijou didn’t even consider defense.

He was prepared to slip past the attack made first and deliver a surefire blow of his own.

Just before impact, Stiyl’s right knee unnaturally dropped down.

That was the cost.

Attempting to hijack a Magic God’s power without mastering that path yourself was like asking for pain. And since he had mentioned a cost, Stiyl had to understand that better than anyone.

So what had Kamijou Touma paid?

That question lingered in his mind, but the puny boy still clenched his right fist tight.

This guy so cared for Index he had possibly made an enemy of the Anglican Church and Academy City to reclaim the small world that was taken from him.

So.

He would win no matter the cost.

“God…”

Stiyl’s eyes widened in surprise.

After that, Kamijou distinctly saw his face crumple like a child on the verge of tears.

“If this world, this story, is moving ahead according to the system you created…”

He didn’t recognize this.

Kamijou Touma had no memory of these words.

But.

When he looked in that guy’s eyes, they naturally came from his mouth.

“Then I first need to destroy that illusion!!!”



''Wham!!!

Kamijou Touma’s right fist caught Stiyl Magnus in the cheekbone.
