Editing Toaru Majutsu no Index:GT Volume15 Chapter4 (section)

===Part 4===

After dodging a few punches and kicks, Kamijou backed away from Hamazura. He adjusted the distance between them.

And he shook his head.

He consciously worked to stay conscious.

(“''Feel free to stay awake''.”)

He heard a voice with no distance to it.

His mouth wasn’t moving. This wasn’t a sound reverberating through the underground space. So where was it coming from?

(“''I’m not that count. I’m not gonna take over your body. Popping in and out at random will work better. That AI is watching your exterior and gathering detailed data to calculate out the next thing you’ll do. You’re fighting right in front of him, so there’s no preventing the AI from gathering data. But. If the Kamijou Touma folder contains a mix of data from more than one person, it can’t predict your personality, can it? So if we work together to mess with its calculations, his precious AI won’t be worth shit.''”)

“You…”

(“''Don’t you get mad. You’re not trying to be some bleach-white paragon of justice, are you? Provocation is a valid tactic. People’s lives are on the line here. At the end of the day, you want to save that idiot’s life, don’t you? Even if it means punching him a few times.''”)

“…”

(“''Well, if you want to win this, stop Hamazura, and save him, you can’t let yourself hesitate just cause it’s getting a little messy. Or are you a galge heroine who only ever speaks the whole truth? Yeah right, dumbass.''”)

Was this really a part of Kamijou? It felt like a bad joke that this foul-mouthed right arm had once mimicked his physical form and tried to take everything from him. And that its advice was efficient and sensible only annoyed Kamijou further. If it could make such sharp calculations, why couldn’t it predict how he would feel listening to it?

He tried arguing back with something other than numerical correctness.

“I want to be on the side of justice too. But I don’t need Hamazura to tell me that’s not possible. I’m well aware I disqualified myself from that as soon as my immediate response to any problem is to clench my fist!”

(“''Are you stupid? If you never want to doubt you’re doing the right thing, then let a Magic God, a Transcendent, or some other divinity decide for you. But you’re human. You’re the kind of ordinary high school boy you can find anywhere. Noncommittal hypocrisy is a lot more fitting, don’t you think?''”)

At any rate, that AI was the problem.

Kamijou couldn’t settle things with Hamazura without first doing something about Aneri’s power.
