Agnese makes a deal with Toma and Orsola that guarantees their safe escape from the Roman Orthodox ship—so long as they take Sisters Angelene and Lucia with them. As they search for the nuns, they uncover more about the ship’s terrible true purpose.

After winning a trip to Italy, Toma and Index run across a few old acquaintances. But wherever these two go, disaster is sure to follow—this time in the form of assassins!

As Toma and the others come close to beating Oriana, the motivations behind her actions are finally revealed. But taking out Oriana might not be enough to stop her plot from reaching a catastrophic completion!

Toma and Tsuchimikado investigate the history of a sacred artifact as they try to figure out what Oriana’s plan is. When they discover they have only until nightfall to stop her from enacting an evil plot, the battle for the future of Academy City begins!

Tsuchimikado’s location spell backfires and leads Oriana straight to him, resulting an epic showdown. But he’s not the only one exposed to Oriana’s magic: Himegami feels the force of the spell caster’s power, and may not survive.

With the Shorthand cancelled, Stiyl uses his magic to locate Oriana, causing a fight to erupt. In London, Laura learns that Oriana’s deal might not be for the Stab Sword, but for something else entirely.

As Toma and his group try to track down Oriana, they discover that a “Shorthand”—a specialized spell that operates on its own once being cast—is shorting out their magic. But before they can deactivate it, an incident happens at the middle school.

It’s the Daihasei Festival, and everyone’s parents are in town! As Toma and Mikoto compete against each other in various events, a Roman Orthodox magician and her assistant negotiate to purchase a powerful relic from the English Puritan Church.

The Roman Orthodox nuns continue their attack as Orsola risks everything to have Index decipher the Book of Law. The infamous grimoire could help them finally defeat their enemies—but that’s only if it works like it's supposed to.

With Orsola taken hostage, Toma and his gang take the battle to the church. There, Index unleashes a mighty spell. Things look bleak for the Roman Orthodox, but their willingness to sacrifice themselves might just give them the upper hand.

The battle over Orsola, the only nun who can read the Book of Law, continues as Toma is forced to act as an unwitting decoy. The Amakusa clash with church representatives, but the real culprit behind the plot might not be who Toma expected.

The Book of Law is an encrypted grimoire that only one nun has the skills to decipher—and it’s gone missing! If its magic is ever used, it will bring about all sorts of ruin. Now, the church just has to keep the gifted nun safe. How hard can that be?

As summer ends, Toma desperately tries to catch up on homework—but that’s totally out of the question once a magician named Yamisaka kidnaps Index. As Toma tries to rescue his friend, he finds there may be more to her captor’s motives than just malice.

As Toyohisa and Hijikata dance a deadly duet in the inferno of a capital, Nobunaga slowly moves to turn the tide. As the ashes settle on the city, a Pyrrhic victory is achieved with the line between victory and defeat not being so clear cut.
