## Chronology

### Choronzon Arc

*Main article: Choronzon Arc*
During the invasion of the United Kingdom and the British Commonwealth by the Crowley's Hazards, while the enemy force was attacking the Strait of Dover, Nics went through his collection at Westminster Abbey, having been told that his choice was unrestricted. Nics selected the Shiva Imitation and inserted it into his eye socket before heading out with Ange Catacombs and Cutia Virginroad.

The trio were assigned to protect the British Royal Family on their journey to Scotland and subsequently were forced to face the reproduced Golden Dawn. Nics was the first to be defeated and fell from the carriages onto the road. Kamijou Touma and the Female Knight nearly ran over him while riding Carissa's horse Alex to catch up with the royal convoy, and the knight set off a flare to mark his location.

### Kamijou Arc

*Main article: Kamijou Arc*
Nics, Ange and Cutia were among the Anglicans present at Windsor Castle when a party was held to celebrate Choronzon's defeat following the attack on the Queen Britannia and were subsequently involved in the battle arising from the events which transpired.

## Abilities

Nics is a magician specializing in signs, specifically magical symbols which can be represented with the body. In order to overcome the limits of what he can express with his own body, Nics has a large collection of prosthetic limbs and organs which he can attach to his body in place of his own, allowing him to modify and increase his capabilities. He embed artificial objects in his own body.

One of his prosthetic eyes, #77, is the **Shiva Imitation** (シヴァ＝イミテーション, *Shiva Imitēshon*?), a spiritual item based on the eye of Shiva, which can see through to the evil of the world and learn if it is the proper time to destroy it. It is described as not excessively powerful, though Nics warned a colleague that he had an apocalyptic eye in and to not to look at his face too much. The powers of his other prosthetic eyes come in a variety of forms such as petrifying the body, filling a heart with wickedness, reducing luck, etc.
Smart Handcuffs

**Smart Handcuffs** (インテリ手錠, **Interi Tejō**?, lit. "Intelligent Handcuffs") are a technology developed in Academy City developed for the purpose of restraining suspects.

## Principles

They are sturdy handcuffs but, as their name suggests, they have additional features. When another person tries to forcibly remove the handcuffs, another smaller set of handcuffs can come out to restrain them. There are at least two sets of additional handcuffs. After the activation of the smaller ones, a tiny speaker within the handcuffs informs the following: *"The unlawful release prevention program has activated. Any vibration, impact, electrical shock, or heat over a certain level is seen as an unlawful method. Upon detection of such a method, various methods of restraint such as tear gas will be used."*, further indicating additional functions
Seiin High School

**Seiin High School** (聖音高等学校, ***Seiin High School***?) is a high school in Academy City, featured in *Toaru Kagaku no Accelerator*.

## Background

Seiin High School was the school which Hishigata Hirumi attended before her death. Hishigata Mikihiko made use of the school, in particular its Sixth Chemistry Building as a base of operations.

## Chronology

### Toaru Kagaku no Accelerator

#### Necromancer Arc

*Main article: Necromancer Arc*

Following DA's initial clashes with Anti-Skill and the groups sent to eliminate them, DA's leaders ordered their forces to regroup at Seiin High School's Sixth Chemistry Building. As the battle between DA and their enemies continued at the school, Anti-Skill formed a barricade around the school to keep civilians away from danger. After the memories of death extracted from Misaka 10046 were integrated into the Taowu, the school grounds were further damaged and partially engulfed by the body which it was forming.
Sif

**Sif** (シフ, *Shifu*?) is a background character mentioned in *Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index*. They are a member of GREMLIN, the powerful magic faction that shook the world in its foundations.

## Etymology

Sif's name is based on Sif a goddess from Norse mythology, who is a consort of Thor, and a mother to Ullr (Ollerus), whose father is not recorded.

## Chronology

### Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index

##### Lance of Gungnir

Sif is mentioned in passing, alongside Iðunn, by Marian Slingeneyer after Othinus becomes weakened after forcing the Holistic esper created from Kakine Teitoku's Dark Matter to continue its singing for the production of Gungnir. Here, Marian suggests to Othinus the two GREMLIN members, who currently have no duties, to handle her affairs for her for the production of the lance. Othinus however turns Marian's proposition down and goes off to mend herself.

It is unknown where Sif is during the course of the massive worldwide operation by GREMLIN and their invasion of Tokyo.

##### VS the World

Sif is mentioned in the conversation between Hel, Jörmungandr and Fenrir at Egeskov Castle with other members of GREMLIN, waiting for Othinus to arrive and take revenge for her abandonment of them, surprising the group, having been part of the rear guard alongside Iðunn. Sif is likely among the pile of scattered bodies when Touma and Othinus arrive at the castle.
Selkie Aquarium

***Selkie Aquarium*** (セルキー＝アクアリウム, *Seruki Akuariumu*?, Yen Press: **Silkie Aquarium**) refers to a series of submarine-type mobile fortresses owned by the United Kingdom. There are at least 8 of these mobile fortresses.

## Etymology

A selkie is a creature from Scottish folklore, capable of changing from seal to human form and vice versa by shedding and donning its skin respectively.

## Principles

*Selkie Aquarium* is a submarine-type mother ship for Magicians carrying out underwater activities. They are usually used to anticipate and quickly respond to any definite movements made in the border between England and France, the English Channel.

Like the Coven Compass, the *Selkie Aquariums* are capable of firing a large-scale flash bombardment.

## Chronology

#### British Halloween

*Main article: British Halloween*
Some time during the events of Carissa's coup d'état, as the *Selkie Aquariums* were used by magicians of the Anglican Church, the knights and the Royal Navy engage at least two of the *Selkie Aquariums* in battle, *Selkie* 3 and 8. It is unknown what happened to *Selkie* 6 and 7, though they are likely destroyed.

The remaining *Selkie Aquariums* that are not caught in a battle with the Knights of England, along with the *Coven Compass*, later aid the Anglican Church in the Battle of Buckingham Palace during the opening bombardment on the palace, managing to strike it 100–200 times.
Power Lifter

The **Power Lifter** (運搬着（パワーリフター）, *Unpan-gi (Pawā Rifutā)*?, lit. "Transport Clothes") is a heavy machinery used in the transportation of cargo and other large objects. Unlike the military Powered Suits, it is a humanoid-shaped exoskeleton that the operator wears on their backs.

## Appearance

Three meters in height, the Power Lifter is a large unit that the operator wears on their back like a backpack. It has two huge steel arms that are large enough to reach the ground when dangled down, as well as smaller legs for stability control.

Likely because it is not used for military purposes, the Power Lifter's joints are not covered or armored. Like any stereotypical heavy machinery, it is colored yellow.

## Principles

Weighing two tons, the heavy machinery is a prototype, and is used for the transportation of cargo. In spite of this an operator doesn't need a license to use it, making it very dangerous at the hands if used poorly. Indeed, Stephanie Gorgeouspalace, one of the known users of the machine has reiterated to Hamazura Shiage several times that the machine can still kill someone.

The Power Lifter has a host of components that allows it to operate. The Power Lifter's arms are controlled by two joysticks that are connected via cables, while the legs were controlled via foot pedals. When an operator is in the Power Suit, a safety bar lowers to hold them in place. It has two primary power sources as well as a spare one, stability controls, a processor, and sensors. An AI can be installed on the Power Lifter as well, as shown when Shiage used Aneri to assist him in using the heavy machinery. Overall, the Power Lifter is strong enough to lift a small car, and leap mid-air, as well as nimble enough to carry cargo while doing so. Indeed, Stephanie implies that the machine can lift cargo with a single arm or leg while doing acrobatics, shown when Shiage used the machine's nimbleness and flexibility to carry cargo while moving in an elevator shaft. One dangerous aspect of the Power Lifter is its exposed joints, as it can catch the operator if they are not careful and that it will cause an internal shock if something is caught in it.

### PDW

The Power Lifter can also be salvaged and turned into a **PDW** (**Personal Defense Weapon** (携行式防衛火器, ***Personal Defense Weapon***?)), as Stephanie Gorgeouspalace can attest. Her PDW could not fire regular bullets but instead uses pressurized gas to fire "mock" bullets made of tungsten, essentially a gas gun. Despite the unusual ammunition, it is still very dangerous and can riddle a human body with holes when fired from within twenty to thirty meters.

### AUD

Unique to the Power Lifter is its usage of an AUD, an air-projected heads up display. It works by heating or cooling the air near the operator's face locally to create an abnormal refraction of right. The Power Lifter would then display necessary information on it. This becomes particularly useful for Shiage when he uses the Power Lifter with Aneri installed in the machine.
Summer Resort

The **Summer Resort** (避暑地, *Hishochi*?) is a nuclear shelter for VIPs in Academy City found in School District 22.

## Background

It is a nuclear shelter for VIPs and the private property of a member of the Academy City Board of Directors. It is located a few hundred meters below the ground in the underground city developed in School District 22. There are both stairs and an elevator leading into it. The inside is made to be like a luxurious villa and it even has special lines for net conferences. It has enough oxygen and food inside for someone live comfortably for an entire year. Piles of money are also stored inside the shelter.

## Chronology

### Toaru Majutsu no Index

#### Battle Royale Arc

*Main article: Battle Royale Arc*
As it was not used often, Baba Yoshio deactivated the security and used the shelter for himself. From the inside he provided support for the Professor by remotely controlling the four-legged robot always found near him. After the Professor's defeat by Kakine Teitoku, Yoshio attempted to escape the Summer Resort but was trapped inside before he could. Yoshio hears water, and believed that water was poured in from above the shelter and both the elevator and stairs out of it were blocked. He asked for Xochitl to help him escape, but discovered that she didn't need him for her purposes and she told him that she didn't have time to clean up his mess. Later, the communication cable was also cut leaving him completely trapped within. Despite being trapped in such a safe place with food and water to last him an entire year, he quickly panicked and lost himself in his fear and imagination.
Salmon Reds

The **Salmon Reds** (サーモンレッド, *Sāmonreddo*?) are large scale life boats stationed in twelve places on Liberal Arts City's coast in case of an emergency evacuation.

## Principles

They are described as being 200 meter class highly buoyant ships that a single one is capable of carrying 80,000 people. Each person person on board only has about a sleeping bag’s worth of space and apparently each of those spaces can function as an independent boat by way of holding a large number of tiny boats with the people on them made them look like salmons holding their roe. No specialized knowledge of the boats is needed to use the Salmon Reds sense they are GPS controlled and will automatically avoid reefs and other boats as they head for the American mainland. However, all that is just to allow them to carry out their function as life boats. They cannot carry out the precise movements needed to dock, so a rescue team would have to save the people on board.

Since the ocean around Liberal Arts City is still maintained as the environment of 50 years into the future needed for filming the movie, so something like a net is surrounding the area to prevent fish and other creatures in the ocean from coming and going. However, when the Salmon Reds start moving, that net needs to be torn away. That may be one of the reasons the ships are almost never used, the other being that the Salmon Reds are kept where they are conducting their secret research. In order to appear to be a safe and comfortable movie city, they do not want to let their emergency lifeboats be seen if they can help it.

School District 14

**School District 14** (第一四学区, *Dai Jūyon Gakku*?) is a school district located at the northeast of Academy City. It is bordered by the Saitama Prefecture to the north, School District 19 and 4 to the south, and School District 3 to the west.

Like its neighbor School District 3, it has facilities that accommodates outsiders, though the district focuses on overseas students instead.

## Principles

As stated, the district caters to the needs of overseas students, apparently having accommodations and facilities for them.

In the district, the residential areas are divided by culture, and the guide plates on their residences contain many instances of it being written in an alphabet other than Japanese.
Satoshi

* Anime
* Railgun

**Satoshi** (サトシ, ***Satoshi***?) is a minor Skill-Out thug introduced in *Toaru Kagaku no Railgun*. His rugged boss runs a small Skill-Out territory in School District 7.

## Appearance

He is a large man with a similar body type, though fatter, and style as Tetsu. He wears a bandana that covers his forehead.

## Background

He is at least knowledgeable of the status of Nagatenjouki Academy and Tokiwadai Middle School. He has mentioned to himself that he didn't want to be a Skill-Out in the first place.

## Chronology

### Toaru Kagaku no Railgun

#### Sisters Arc

*Main article: Sisters Arc*
Satoshi and the others follow Hikoichi to an abandoned building where he said that the person who runs around town hiding cash cards in envelopes in alleyways, Nunotaba Shinobu.

He is tasked of looking after Shinobu as they search the premises looking for more cash cards, and was teased by Hikoichi if he was scared, naturally, due to Shinobu's calm demeanor and creepy expression. He later discovers that Shinobu is wearing the Nagatenjouki badge and becomes worried if she was an esper, to the point that even Shinobu notices. Seeing this opportunity, Shinobu speaks to Satoshi and is later felled by her through shock.

He is later saved by Misaka Mikoto after Shinobu attempts to burn the building down.
Tarantula

**Tarantula** (タランチュラ, *Taranchura*?) is a large mobile weapon or mecha used by DA. It appears similar to a Coffin but has not been shown to use any esper powers and instead uses technology as its weapons.

It is used by DA against Anti-Skill in the first battle between the two factions leading to a large number of lives killed for the latter as the direct result of the machine.

## Etymology

A Tarantula is a type of spider, usually hairy and very large.

## Appearance

It is a large machine with six legs, where at the bottom the wheels or treads are located. It has a flat roof, allowing people to stand upon it. On its left side is a large sphere where the movable camera is located. On its right side is a large gun. The cockpit is located in the front of the machine, with six headlights flanking the front window, which serves as the "eyes" of the Tarantula, on both sides. On its back is a large cylinder.

## Principles

The Tarantula is not only large but heavy as well, weighing 120 tons. It can withstand conventional firearms, rendering them useless. Despite its large size it can still travel very fast, and can travel diagonally on an incline. The flat roof or top of the machine allows people to stand upon it and in a battlefield can even be used as an advantage as it is a suitable position to fire on enemies, as shown by DA.

Its primary weapon is a large gatling gun, capable of ripping both stone, metal, and flesh to shreds. Its magazine has 1,350 rounds of ammunition in total and it can fire 932 rounds before overheating. However, under the cockpit is the container for the machine's String Juicers, its secondary weapon. There is an anti-personnel laser beam in the backside of the machine, which was displayed on the cockpit's instrument panel but never used during combat.

Inside is the cockpit, where the machine and its weapons are operated. There the operator can monitor both the battlefield using the camera as well as the String Juicers that have been deployed using its computers.

However, for all its power, the machine can only last for thirty minutes after activation.

### String Juicer

The **String Juicers** (刀扇鋼糸（ストリングジューサー）, *Katana Ōgi Kōshi (Sutoringu Jūsā)*?, lit. "Sword Fan Steel Thread") are mobile weapons that act as secondary weapons for the Tarantula. It is a technology unique to DA as it is a product of their research.

Once the operator of the Tarantula has determined the targets, the String Juicers will automatically attack them once they are deployed. At least 10 String Juicers can be deployed at once. The machines spin very fast and when they locate their target, they releases strings that can cut human flesh and even reinforced ceramic.
Second Sight

**Second Sight** (遠見能力（セカンドサイト）, *Enken Nōryoku (Sekando Saito)*?, lit. Telescopic Ability) is an esper ability which exists in Academy City.

## Principles

Second Sight is an advanced version of Clairvoyance. It only referenced as telescopic ability by Frenda until Ogino Kentarou confirmed the name of the ability on Twitter.
R'lyeh

**R'lyeh** (ルルイエ, *Ruruie*?) is a fictional sunken city in the Pacific which is featured in H. P. Lovecraft's short story "The Call of Cthulhu". Trapped within the city is the entity known as Cthulhu.

In *Toaru Majutsu no Index*, the city can be brought into existence through certain spells based off the Cthulhu Mythos.

## Principles

The underwater city of R'lyeh, in which Cthulhu is imprisoned, is said to be sunk at a certain point in the Pacific. The city's architecture is said to be of non-Euclidean geometry.

According to the story, when certain conditions are met, the city would rise to the surface from the bottom of the ocean. When R'lyeh surfaced, it was said that the weak-minded would go insane while poets and artists would receive strange inspiration. These conditions include the positions of the stars and submarine volcanic activity. With the rising of the city would also come the emergence of the entity Cthulhu.

As with other spells based on the Cthulhu Mythos, spells involving the city are classed as creating something from nothing - calling into existence something which shouldn't exist. The pages of the Necronomicon used for a ceremony to draw up the city are 45, 90-120, 200 and 210-222.

## Background

On August 2nd, three years before the story's first year, the magic cabal Dusk Waiting to Awaken carried out an experiment in the Pacific involving summoning R'lyeh in order to acquire inspiration and information to overcome a dead end in their research. The ceremony caused 103 people aboard the resource extraction ship *Condor* to go insane and would have wiped out the residents of every island within 1000km, had the experiment not failed. After the incident and the discovery of magic symbols on the ship, England installed a facility in the area to keep an eye on the location where the ceremony took place.

## Chronology

### Necessarius Special Admission Test SS

*Main article: Toaru Majutsu no Index SS: Necessarius Special Admission Test*
After obtaining the Necronomicon, Arlands Darkstreet of Dusk Waiting to Awaken took it to an ocean salvage terminal in the Strait of Dover, in order to perform a ceremony to summon R'lyeh and obtain the inspiration his cabal needed. Though the terminal was far from the location where R'lyeh was sunk, Arlands and his men were able to recreate the conditions of the sunken city on it, using lighting and observational equipment to simulate the non-Euclidean geometry of the city and exploding fire ships to simulate the earthquakes heralding the surfacing.

As a result, when the ceremony was carried out, the terminal became the equivalent of R'lyeh itself, with Cthulhu partially appearing before the Amakusa managed to make the evil god leave by interfering with the artificially created conditions which created the twisted landscape synonymous with the sunken city.
Sumtalak Shandeva

**Sumtalak Shandeva** (サムタラク・シャンデーバ, *Samutaraku Shandēba*?) is referenced in *Toaru Majutsu no Index: Road to Endymion*. One of the members of the Gate of the Gods Come from the Heavens, a Hindu-based Magic Cabal, Sumtalak is a decision maker in the cabal, and would receive from protection from its lower members if an attack takes place.

## Chronology

## Debuts

### Novel

GT Volume 6

**Shinohara Suzuka** (篠原 鈴鹿, *Shinohara Suzuka*?) is a character introduced in *Souyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index*. She is a powerful Level 4 esper who is a member of the Union.

## Appearance

Suzuka is a young woman with short brown hair and matching eyes. She wears a red scarf around her neck and also wears cycling shorts and a croptop underneath her school uniform.

## Personality

Suzuka is a tomboyish individual who has an indpendent personality. She proves reliable and incredibly brave, even if her judgment is easily clouded under pressure. When confronted by the enemy, she has a distant atmosphere to herself, often strictly no-nonsense and showing little sympathy for them. An impulsive spirit also leads her to tend toward drastic measures, consequently going against orders.

As a member of the Union, she is quite merciless and fearsome, not shying away from killing her targets. She is shown to be loyal to Akayoshiki Marisa, stating that she should be the true first-ranked Level 5 instead of Accelerator. Despite her steadfast loyalty to Marisa, she is not blindly faithful, and tends to act on her own volition whenever she feels she must.

## Background

Suzuka's background prior to joining the Union isn't known.

## Abilities

Shinohara Suzuka's Level 4 esper ability is known as **Thermal Point** (熱蓄積（サーマルポイント）, *Netsu Chikuseki (Sāmarupointo)*?, lit. "Heat Accumulation"), which allows her to store heat and temperature within a short localized point, from single objects such as the surface of paper money or even a particular spot on the human body. However, the heat can then be transferred to anyone who touches said point where the heat is stored. More specifically, Thermal Point takes advantage of the laws of thermodynamics (in this case, entropy) by accumulating heat within a medium and preventing that medium's temperature from lowering. By preventing the temperature from lowering, the laws of thermodynamics will cause the temperature of both objects to attempt to equalise themselves, causing the rapid transference and buildup of heat from the medium to the specified target.
Skill-Out

**Skill-Out** (武装無能力集団（スキルアウト）, *Busou Munouryoku Shuudan (Sukiru Auto)*?, lit. "Armed Powerless Group") is an armed group of Level 0's in Academy City.

## Principles

Skill-Out is an armed group of Level 0's which numbers in the thousands. Many factions proclaim that their goal is to fight for rights in a city where those without abilities are picked on by those who flaunt their higher esper abilities, while the authority sometimes turn a blind eye to the injustice or just can't help.

Factions include Big Spider. Komaba Ritoku led one of the largest groups of Skill-Out in School District 7 before being killed by Accelerator. Hamazura Shiage succeeded him and agreed to a deal that would save Skill-Out from the Board of Directors by attacking Misaka Misuzu. After this failed, he left Skill-Out and was succeeded by Hattori Hanzou.

The fighting abilities of Skill-Out's members are generally weak, with the average fighter having brawling skills below that of Kamijou Touma, although he stated that he cannot take on more than three at once. Some members carry weapons such as collapsible large blades, batons, and guns that are as lethal as Level 3 esper abilities. The favored tactic is to swamp an enemy esper with numbers when fighting since they can not normally win one on one.
Sargasso

**Sargasso** (船の墓場（サルガッソー）, *Fune no Hakaba (Sarugassō)*?, lit. "Graveyard of Ship") are various locations found in the seas and oceans of *Toaru Majutsu no Index*, where sea wreckages naturally gather in areas after certain conditions are met to form an artificial island. Introduced in *Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index*, they are primarily used by GREMLIN as their bases.

## Principles

The term is used by magicians, and is unrelated to the area around of the Gulf of Mexico. It referred to the mountain of sea wreckage that naturally gathered in areas of sea which met certain conditions: several currents striking each other, flotsam and driftwood gathering together like in the drain of a sink, and a reef or something else that caught at and allowed that flotsam to accumulate. The remains of many different ships, those that did not completely sink to the ocean floor, would gather there: fishing boats, transport ships, passenger ships, one-man kayaks, and military ships. They would be swept more than 100 kilometers over the ocean, gather in this one spot, and pile up into a mountain.

Apparently, there were countless numbers of Sargassos in the world. Although despite having no official record of their numbers, they continued to be feared as legends by the local fishermen.

### GREMLIN's Sargasso

GREMLIN has two Sargasso bases, one is found in the North Sea near Iceland, and the other, being their main base, can be found near Tokyo Bay, which they somehow "placed" there. GREMLIN chose Sargasso as their base because it was a good magical site due to the ley lines, it at allowed them to remain hidden from their enemies, such as the Anglican Church, and it was an easy location to construct a fortress. Moreover, as they wanted to create Gungnir, Sargasso was chosen as it allowed them to to borrow the power of science, using the various machinery left in the ships in the Sargasson, they used it for the installation and use of a large-scale and a high-speed parallel processor. Indeed, with the help of Kihara Kagun, they were able to make a small supercomputer. Moreover, because of the many ships that make up Sargasso it can make some space inside. This is the case with the Sargasso in Tokyo, where Touma and Othinus temporarily stay inside the structure's complex labyrinth to discuss their plans.

GREMLIN made use of the various ships in the Sargasso for varying purposes, one of which is a passenger ship reused for the purpose of their living space, as well as a pool, which was used to pour gold into it for the final phases of the creation of the Lance of Gungnir. The Sargasso in Tokyo Bay was protected by Mokkerkalfe and Muspells, while the Sargasso in the North Sea was left in the protection of Loki. The latter is later destroyed by Loki during the attack by the Anti-GREMLIN Alliance.
Sniper Bee

**Sniper Bee** (狙撃蜂, *Sogeki Hachi*?) is a special bullet made in Academy City developed by Yakumi Hisako most likely in her hospital in School District 13.

## Appearance

The object appears a dart with a needle and father-like objects attached to it. It was colored with black and yellow stripes, giving off a sign of danger by just its looks. It is most likely the reason why it has its name.

## Principles

When it was used against the Destroyer that Tsuchimikado Motoharu was interrogating it fell straight from the sky on the former via the machinations of the sniper. It is unknown what technology or abilities were used to achieve or if it is an inherent part of the Sniper Bee's technology itself. According to Rensa #029, if a hypothalamus that is used for the cyborg Rensa can't be used anymore, there are reused as calculation guidance parts for the Sniper Bee.

The ones showe with Yakumi Hisako were special models that had been created for design purposes. However, there were smaller versios which were loaded into a special magazine that use compressed gas. Apparently, the preferred "bee venom" for the Sniper Bee is formic acid.

### Effects

The venom used by the Sniper Bee is the corrosive formic acid, which is used in large amounts. When the target is hit, the area where it landed will quickly swelled up, and would look similar to plastic being heated in a fire. When the Destroyer was hit in the neck, his skin bulged out from within, the right half of his face swelled so large facial recognition software would not be able to recognize him. Moreover, swelling also occurred below the surface as well, constricting his windpipe.

According to Motoharu, the man will take 15 minutes before dying. With such a protracted method to assassinate a target, the venom was most likely used to prolong death as much as possible.
School District 5

**School District 5** (第五学区, *Dai Go Gakku*?) is a school district in the middle of Academy City. It is bordered by School District 7 to the west, School District 18 and 23 to the south, School District 6 to the east, and School District 4 and 1 to the north.

The district's primary focus are universities and junior colleges, as well as accommodations to the students therein

## Principles

The district is different from School District 7 as it has many colleges and universities. Although the rows and rows of buildings form buildings in District 7 make a sophisticated feeling, the restaurant and clothes shops have a more mature feeling compared to other districts, much more so than School District 15, which has the latest fashion trends.

Being that is the main district over college students, the ranks and reputations of buildings and establishments such as department stores are much higher and have an overall relaxed atmosphere. The district has an overall relaxed atmosphere. Despite this, because of its nature in catering to college and university students, many establishments are not available for many teenagers.

Stargate Project

The **Stargate Project** (スターゲート計画, *Sutāgēto Keikaku*?) was a real-life project carried out during the Cold War by the United States government to investigate psychic phenomena and their potential military applications.

In the *Toaru* universe, the project was headed, unofficially, by George Kingdom, and was similarly aimed at producing Espers for military use.

## Background

During the Cold War, the United States of America and the Soviet Union both invested large amounts of money into developing Espers for military purposes, with the Stargate Project being the American effort.

However the people involved in the project apparently had little idea of what they were doing, repeating large-scale experiments over and over again, not knowing if the readings and results qualified as success or failure. In the end, the funding was wasted and the project ended in failure.

The project leader, George Kingdom, obtaining a list compiled by the CIA of all the Gemstones in the world, set about executing a plan to seize them and research their powers via over fifty independent institutions in order to succeed where the Stargate Project failed. However this plan was thwarted due to Kumokawa Seria mobilizing the Sisters to destroy the research institutions and rescue the Gemstones, and he was subsequently assassinated by Kinuhata Saiai.
Thirteen Knights of the Roman Catholic Church

The remaining knights trying to perform the Gregorian Chant.

Leaders| * Knight Lancelot (Vittorio Cassera)

The **Thirteen Knights of the Roman Catholic Church** (ローマ正教十三騎士団, *Rōma Seikyō Jūsan Kishidan*?, lit. Roman Orthodox Thirteen Knights Group) is a group of warriors created by and serve under the Roman Catholic Church. According to Stiyl Magnus, the Thirteen Knights are simply a poor imitation of the Knights of England.

Their primary purpose appears to be hunting down and eliminating threats and rogue magicians, like Aureolus Izzard.

## Chronology

### Deep Blood Arc

*Main article: Deep Blood Arc*
The knights were sent to take care of Aureolus after he was discovered to have taken over Misawa Cram School. They were allowed to enter Academy City by General Superintendent Aleister, though their entrance wasn't told to Stiyl Magnus and he found out when he saw a knight's corpse.

The initial strike did not go well, as one member was killed, as his corpse was found by Touma and Stiyl. The next night, the remaining members tried to destroy the building Izzard was by marking the Misawa Cram School so the Gregorian Chant launched by the Vatican can strike at Aureolus Izzard from afar. However, the spell was bounced back by Aureolus using his Ars Magna, destroying the Gregorian Chant.

## Abilities

According to Stiyl, while the Thirteen knights were based off of the Knights of England, compared to their English counterparts the Roman knights were second-rate amateurs. These knights seem to have the same kind of skills as the Knights of England, focusing on heavy armor while attempting to be skilled in both magic and swordsmanship.

They also possess duplicates of holy weapons, such as a Heavenly Bow.

Their most notable ability is to use the Gregorian Chant, a powerful long range bombardment spell that is chanted by the 3,333 monks in St. Peter's Basilica. It is capable of destroying an entire building in one blow. It is shown that at least 7 knights are needed to cast the spell.

## Known members

Since their introduction, there is currently only one named member of the knights. It is also apparent that knights are named after the Knights of the Round Table of Arthurian legend.

* **Knight Parsifal** (real name unknown) - The knight that Touma and Stiyl found dead when they entered Misawa Cram School.
* **Knight Lancelot** (Vittorio Cassera)
Richmond

* Anime
* Manga

**Richmond** (リッチモンド, *Ritchimondo*?) is a minor character introduced in *Toaru Majutsu no Index*. He is one of the two co-pilots of Sky Bus 365. During the terrorist incident of October 17 of the story's first year, he and his colleague Wash, piloted the plane while their captain handled with the situation.

## Background

He is a pilot that apparently skilled enough to pilot the plane on his own. Despite this, he is aware of his own limitations, as shown when he called for the captain's aid when the plane's fuel gauge began to drop mysteriously.

## Chronology

### Toaru Majutsu no Index

#### British Royal Family Arc

*Main article: British Royal Family Arc*
He is first seen along with his captain and Wash, when they receive word and later confirmation that there is a terrorist threat with the plane.

They later continue flying the plane after the captain leaves to deal with Kamijou Touma and his ordeal with the terrorist. Later, the captain later orders for Richmond to handle the flight alone as he orders Wash to deliver to him Archery as so he can use it against the terrorist and Touma after the latter became to uncontrollable after he begins hunting the terrorist down.

Later, after Touma activates an alarm to force oxygen masks from the ceiling in order to unnerve the terrorists, the captain inquires what is happening, to which Richmond says it is from the switches outside of the cockpit. The captain later orders it to be turned off, but Richmond later says that there is an emergency as the fuel gauge begins mysteriously dropping, unbeknownst to them due to the magic of Necessarius. Richmond then asks for the captain to return to the cockpit, which he acquiesces. The fuel gauge returns to normal after an interference from Scotland, allowing for the pilots not doing an emergency landing.

The captain, Richmond, and Wash are in the cockpit when they see a Royal Air Force transport plane fly dangerously close to the plane, and later when Stiyl Magnus spreads his rune cards into the air to use against the second terrorist Eiker Lugoni.
Kokkuri

**Kokkuri** (狐狗狸, ***Kokkuri***?) refers to a type of game or divination done in Japan.

## Principles

It is unknown on how the Kokkuri is in *Toaru Majutsu no Index*, but it can be presumed that it uses a mechanism, which is called the Kokkuri, and has the participants ask questions, which in theory, have the "spirits" move the mechanism as an answer.

*Main article: World Rejecter Arc*
Elza, a magician of the Kamisato Faction, is described as utilizing 'something like a' Kokkuri to possess people and objects, usually the coins she carries around.
Third Magic

The **Third Magic** (第三魔法, *Daisan Mahō*?), also refered to as **Heaven's Grace** (天の杯（ヘヴンズ ・グレース）, *Ten no Sakazuki (Hevunzu Gurēsu)*?, lit. "Cup of Heaven"), is one of the five remaining True Magics in the modern Kamachiverse. Similarly to the Second and Fourth Magic, the Third was created as a means to reach the Root.

## Principles

Heaven's Grace is a Thaumaturgy that allows for the **Materialization of the Soul** (魂の物質化, *Tamashī no Busshitsu-ka*?), which stops the inevitable dispersion of the soul once it no longer has an anchor to the World, and essentially makes it transcend to a higher form of existence. It is a Thaumaturgy that realizes true immortality by making the soul into a high-dimensional planar being capable of interacting with the material world as a mental body without having to return to Akasha. The practitioner will acquire an unlimited source of Magical Energy due to the soul becoming analogous to a perpetual motion machine.

### Dress of Heaven

The **Dress of Heaven** (天の衣, *Ten no Koromo*?) is the spiritual item of Einzbern family that can harness the Third Magic's power and is capable of materializing the soul for several seconds. This allows for the transferral of a soul into another container.

It has the appearance of a white dress that is made from gold, and is fitted with seven rings that are said to have control over creation and the souls of others. The Dress of Heaven is transmuted from the ether that forms Leysritt. Despite being a failure, the Einzberns capitalized on Leysritt's lingering innate power as a Grail and converted her to a potential Mystic Code that can augment Illya. The moment that the Dress of Heaven materializes, Leysritt ceases to exist.

## Background

The Third Magic was originally achieved by the Einzbern family, but its secret was lost one thousand years ago. In relation to the other Five Magics, it is said the Third "showed the future", and that it would have been best if its discovery had been the last. Though the Third Magic actually predates the First, the First Magic is still called the First because of its characteristics.

An unnamed Wizard discovered the Third Magic some time in the Age of Gods before 100 BC. The Wizard lost their life at the end of the Age of Gods on the night before the advent of the Common Era. It was also said they disappeared. The Third Magic was considered lost after that, but it was recognized in the modern day that, of the five Wizards, only the Wizard of the First Magic was deceased while the other four were considered "still alive."
SCHOOL

*For an educational institution, see Category:Schools.*

Clockwise, from bottom right: Gokusai Kaibi, Kakine Teitoku, Yobou Banka, and Sunazara Chimitsu.

## Background Information

### **Size**

4 field operatives and a large support staff

### **Headquarters**

Academy City

Leaders| * Kakine Teitoku *(Formerly)*

**SCHOOL** (スクール, *Sukūru*?) is an Academy City-based organization led by Kakine Teitoku. Their original purpose prior to the events of October 9 is unknown. Regardless, their goal during the events of in October 9 centered around trying to allow Kakine Teitoku to negotiate with Aleister Crowley regarding his state as being the mere Spare Plan to the Accelerator.

They are very effective, managing to severely damage two of the organizations after them: MEMBER and ITEM. However, its incarnation as seen on October 9 was destroyed during the events of that day, with its field operatives indisposed; Kakine Teitoku, especially, had his body destroyed as a result with his battle with Accelerator, leaving only Gokusai Kaibi alive. The organization is later reorganized to form a new organization with the remnants of ITEM, MEMBER, and BLOCK.

After the end of World War III, the organization has now been dissolved. Later, Kakine Teitoku revives through the power over his Dark Matter, though there were no indications of the organization reforming.

## Principles

Like the other Dark Side of Academy City factions their level of security and authority are the same—an unofficial unit created by putting few persons together. Their purpose before the events of October 9 is unknown, though it is likely that they did jobs for Academy City as they had liaison or controller themselves, as exemplified by him requesting Kakine to take part in the Daihaseisai.

Like the other organizations, they seem to have a subordinate organization of grunts to do menial tasks for them. They are used in force during their attack on ITEM in their Private Salon.

According to Tsuchimikado Motoharu, SCHOOL is the kind of organization that covers up their shortcomings and is willing to pay up to obtain ready firepower from the outside.

Silicorundum

**Silicorundum** (珪素性シナプス（シリコランダム）, *Keisosho Sinapusu (Shirikorandamu)*?, lit. "Silicon Synapse", Yen Press: **silicon-corundum**) is the mysterious technology that is apparently the center of the Tree Diagram's operations, its synapses. It is within the supercomputer, and in turn carried inside the Orihime-1 satellite.

It is rumored that Silicorundum is one of the Imaginary Technologies that originated from the Imaginary Number District–Five Elements Institution. However, since the place is not actually a research facility but a different dimension composed of AIM, the origin of Silicorundum is still unknown.
Spear of Longinus

The **Spear of Longinus** (神様殺しの槍（ロンギヌスのやり）, *Kamisama Goroshi no Yari (Ronginusu no Yari)*?, lit. "God Killing Spear") is a legendary weapon used by Saint Longinus to pierce the side of the Son of God during his crucifixion, and thus killing him.

## Etymology

The kanji used for the spear is called **God Killing Spear**, which refers to it being the weapon that killed the Son of God instead of his crucifixion.

## Principles

The spear was derived from the passages of the Bible that depicted the Son of God being pierced by the weapon on his side by a Roman soldier to check if he was dead. In so doing, they could determine if they need to break his legs in order to hasten his death. After being pierced, blood and then water came from his side, signifying that he was indeed both man and divine.

The name Longinus came only later in Christian traditions, and is also venerated by many Christian denominations.

### Longinus Replica

It is unknown what powers the true Holy Spear has, but for the mass produced ones used by the thirteen Knights of England, known as **Longinus Replica** (量産聖槍（ロンギヌス＝レプリカ）, *Ryōsan Seisō (Ronginusu Repurika)*?, lit. "Mass Produced Holy Spear") it can be conjectured.
Susanoo Unit

The **Susanoo Unit** (スサノオユニット, *Susanooyunitto*?) is a unique powered suit created and used by Kihara Seisuu.

## Appearance

The Susanoo Unit takes the form of big and bulky muscular exoskeleton that stands 208cm. The armor and hair are black with glowing green highlights, and eyes on its armor are green as well. The Susanoo also has shoulder pads with teeth and horns like the ones on its head, and has crystals on its hips.

## Principles

Similar to the CR-Units, the Susanoo Unit is equipped with a Realizer, allowing the user to bend variables and aspects of reality. The suit is made up of Dark Matter which can now be commanded to transform into any type of structure upon the user's skin. For example, the dark matter can transform into clothes, weaponry, armor or even different beings completely, by having the dark matter change their properties into whatever the user wants them to be. The suit is modeled after the large weapon powered suits but more mobile and lethal.

The Susanoo Unit grants incredible strength to its users, making them far stronger than they would usually be. It can create amasses of green energy with the movements of its body, even being able to create a giant sword of it, one which can deal significant damage. Other known weaponry includes repulsors, uni-beam, pulse bolts, tasers, and an energy blade. Defenses include deflector shields. Other type of weapons and upgrades seems to be created by Seisuu's imagination, such as boxing gloves, large guns extending from his arms, or cannons.

## Background

The Susanoo was developed by Kihara Seisuu prior to creating the Combat Realizer Units.
