Who the Hell is Kumokawa Seria?

Why is someone who has such high connections in A Certain highschool?

And most of all, why does seeing her picture immediately make me think: Bitch.

Haven't you noticed? A Certain Highschool is really popular for high-level/important people to end up in. Touma -> IB.
Tsuchimikado -> Spy/Magician.
Hinegami -> Gemstone esper.
Accelerator -> If the series had continued in a bit more peaceful way, he'd of gone there as well.
Yomikawa -> Best Anti-skill member ever.
Aogami -> No idea yet, but the way speculation is going...
Komoe -> A tiny teacher, probably one of the best teachers in teaching personal reality if students come from other schools to listen to her teach.
Oyafune Suama -> Her mom is one of the Board of Directors

A Certain Highschool might as well have a sign on it saying, "All Important People Come Here"

^ and about Komoe, she's called one of the Seven Mysteries of Academy City as well.

Also, Vol22 Ch9 Pt2 is done by me on BakaTsuki, go check that out if interested.

It was a line from an anime or manga(I kinda forget the title). You can always surpass someone who is alive, but someone great who already dead is only going to be greater and greater in your memories so you can never be greater than him/her.

She's hired as a "brain" by Kaizumi Tsugutoshi. She studies in the same school as Touma, and is his senior. She's interested in Touma's IB. She was the person who thought of a way to stop the Gemstone incident.

The battle between Fiamma and Touma is translated. Nice thanks for the translation

[Hell_ping]

Spoiler for Vol 1 Chp 1, part 6 completed. 92%. Same thing as previous ones.:

THOMP!

Kamijou irritatedly swings a backhand, and it feels like he’s pulling off a spiderweb in front of him.

To think that Stiyl Magnus’ trump card actually got negated by Kamijou. The giant flame god-like oil man scatters on the floor in puddles, as if a needle was used to pierce through a water ball.

“…?”

However, Kamijou Touma doesn’t take a step forward. Of course, there isn’t any obvious reason.

Kamijou just sees Stiyl continuing to snigger even after his trump card. This expression makes Kamijou fearful of taking the final step forward so easily.

The sound of thick liquid bobbling around can be heard all over the place.

“What—?”

Kamijou panics as he takes a step back. At that moment, the black foam gathers around from all over the place, and reforms back into a humanoid shape.

If he had taken a step forward, he would definitely be attacked all around by the flames.

Kamijou’s puzzled by what’s going on in front of him. If the ‘Imagine Breaker’ effect of his right hand that he declared was correct, then even the miracles depicted in those legends should be destroyed as well. As long as ‘magic’ is also called a supernatural power, it should be ‘completely negated’ once it was touched…

The oil in the flames start to move and change shapes, and finally, takes the form of a giant wielding a dual-handed sword.

No, that shouldn’t be called a sword; that should be called a giant Cross that’s over 2 metres long and can easily crush anyone to death.

The giant raises the Cross with both hands and slams it down onto Kamijou’s head like a pickaxe.

“…!”

Kamijou immediately uses his right hand to block. Besides his own right hand ability, Kamijou is basically just an ordinary high school student. Seeing this incoming attack, he can’t see clearly and dodge it.

CLANG! The Cross and the right hand collide.

This time, the giant doesn’t vanish. Kamijou feels that his right hand’s holding onto a rubber sheet, but his hand can’t hold it for long. Besides, the enemy’s using two hands, and Kamijou himself can only use one hand. The flame Cross starts to approach Kamijou from above.

Kamijou, who doesn’t know what’s going on, realises something. This flame-body thing called ‘Innocentius’ did react to Kamijou’s right hand. However, it can revive immediately after it’s destroyed. The time between destruction and revival is most likely not even a tenth of a second.

His right hand ability’s sealed.

Once he lets go of his right hand, Kamijou would likely be burned to ashes by ‘Innocentius’.”

“—Rune…”

Kamijou seems to hear something.

This tense situation makes him unable to turn back. However, Kamijou can hear whose voice was it.

“—The 24 runes which symbolises ‘mysteries’ and ‘secrets’…the Germanic people started to use magic language ever since the 2nd century AD. It’s said that that was the origin of English.”

Though Kamijou can hear Index’s voice, he’s still unable to believe it.

“What…?”

Index’s already dying, but why can she say such words so calmly?”

“—It’s ineffective to attack ‘Innocentius’ head on. Without removing the ‘rune seals’ on the walls, floors, ceilings, and all sorts of places, it will continue to regenerate.”

Kamijou Touma uses his left hand to grab onto his right wrist, barely managing to hold down the Cross.

With a chill in his heart, he glances back.

The girl’s still lying down there. However, Kamijou is unable to call ‘her’ Index, as the girl’s eyes are emotionless like a robot.

For every word the girl said, the wound continues to bleed.

However, the girl doesn’t mind the wound on her back; she’s like a ‘function’ that’s basically designed to explain magic.

“You…you…you’re Index, right?”

“Yes. I’m the magical library that’s affiliated to sector 0 of the English Anglicans, ‘Necessarius’. My proper name is Index Librorum Prohibitorum, but just calling me Index would be fine.”

Seeing the magical library named Index have this meaning of existence, Kamijou feels a chill through his entire body, even forgetting that he’s about to be crushed by the giant flame god.

“I’ve ended the self-introductions, so please allow me to go back to the explanations of the runes. Basically, they’re like a moon’s reflection on a lake…no matter how one uses a sword to cut it, it’s pointless. If one wants to cut the moon on the water, the person has to destroy the real moon in the sky.”

After Index said this, Kamijou remembers the enemy that’s in front of him.

Does she mean that this isn’t the main body of this ‘supernatural power’? Like the relationship between film and pictures, would the giant flame god continue to revive if the ‘other supernatural force’ that continues to create the giant flame god isn’t destroyed?”

There’s no magic in this world. This ‘common knowledge’ is already etched into Kamijou’s heart.

Also, his right hand is sealed by ‘Innocentius’. Kamijou, who’s trapped and can’t move an inch, is unable to follow Index’s instructions. Index’s now lying in a pool of blood, so she can’t come over to help out.

“Ash to Ash…”

Behind the giant flame god, Stiyl creates a flame sword with his right hand.

“Dust to Dust…”

A whiteish-blue flame sword appears on Stiyl’s left hand, not a single sound was made.

“……Squeamish Bloody Road!”

With this strong and forceful shout, the two flame swords cut in horizontally from both sides, as if it’s trying to cut Kamijou together with the giant flame god like a pair of scissors. Kamijou, whose right hand is sealed off by ‘Innocentius’, is unable to defend.

(Damn…damn it…got to escape first—!)

Kamijou Touma doesn’t even have time to let out a shout.

The two flame swords hit the giant flame god, and as if a giant bomb was just fused, a large explosion occurs.

Also, can someone please do the same for the Baka Test update? It's on the Baka test thread. Thanks in advance.

[Ashaman]

Now, now we just need someone to do the first part of Chap 10 part 3, and Touma's fight will (probably) be complete.

[outerelf]

I noticed in the the Daihesi Festival arc Orsola and Sherry are working together- how on earth did that happen? I mean, the last we hear of Sherry is that she's lying defeated in some sort of underground place. When she woke up did she go over to the British Puritains or something?

She was always a member of the British Puritains. Aleister lured her to Academy City using her fear of what would happen if Science and Magic became too friendly to further his plans. After her defeat, she was sent back to where she came from.

When you saw it like that she doesn't even sound like a person, lol...

Anyway, here's a question. What happened to Sphinx when Touma and Index went to England?

Last I heard (wiki) Sphinx was left chilling with the First Royal Princess.

Telesma is the name given to divine energy from angels. Telesma also can form weapons, clothing and any other item necessary from the angels’ body, so it’s possible for them to take a physical shape. Example: Curtana Original.

Telesma can't be influenced by human magic, so is required very complex methods such as those from God's Right Seat.

mana is different from telesma. An ordinary magician like styl and the others uses mana but sainst and angel uses telesma.

Just like Index can't produce mana so she can't use the magic inside her brain.
