Editing Toaru Majutsu no Index:GT Volume15 Chapter1 (section)

===Part 2===

“Kamijou-chaaaan, you really are going to be held back this time.”



The 135cm teacher named Tsukuyomi Komoe smiled at him.

Inside the faculty room after school.

Kamijou Touma was sweating profusely.

“Wow, congratulations. I’m so flattered you so wanted to spend more time studying with me that you would set your entire life back by a year.”

“Wait, wait, please wait!! Stop upping the scale of the problem here. I have a more grounded question I’d like to ask. I’m being held back? Like, that’s for sure? Then why did I even bother dying and coming back to life to protect the world!? It sure as hell wasn’t to have this happen!!”

“Try to confuse me all you like, Kamijou-chan, but I am a civil servant. Government jobs where paperwork is everything can be heartless, but you really won’t be able to avoid being held back if you don’t fix this immediately. Do you remember how you were officially considered dead and we even had a funeral for you?”

“Yeah, but I got the frog-faced doctor to confirm I’m alive!!”

“The document saying so never arrived here. What did you do with such an important document? Without that, I can’t count your attendance even if you are in class. We don’t run a ghost school where the dead are allowed to take classes.”

“But I sent it.”

“It never arrived.”

“I stuck it in one of those big document envelopes, covered it in stamps, and shoved it inside the mailbox!!”

“And I’m telling you it never arrived. Also, you shouldn’t cram one of those thick document envelopes inside the red mailboxes on the side of the road. You’re supposed to drop it off at the post office.”

…Did this mean what he thought it did?

Kamijou had sent the important document, but it had gotten lost during the delivery process and never arrived at the school?

“H-how am I even supposed to find it now? Ahhhh, why don’t they let you search for the GPS location of your delivery like they do with packages from online stores.”

He had had a bad feeling about it from the moment he learned it was a paper document. Ever since smartphones became the norm, physical documents began to feel weird. When he could have submitted it online in seconds, why did they still use such an outdated system!? The government should really think more about the feelings of people who had just dealt with dying, journeying through hell, and coming back to life!!

But Komoe-sensei didn’t seem all that concerned.

“It’s probably in District 23, don’t you think?”

“Huh? That’s where the airport and rocket launch pads are, right? Why would it be there?”

“Because the most high tech cargo and mail management system is located there. And customs processing too. They have machines read the labels and automatically sort the mail, but I’ve heard any that can’t be read and get lost will end up in that district. Occasionally they keep trying to deliver one of my packages when I’m not home and I have to go pick it up there.”



Yes. That was why Kamijou Touma paid a visit to District 23 after school.

…Which leads back to him capturing two dangerous girls in the supposedly ultra safe international airport.
