Security Robot

A **Security Robot** (警備ロボ, *Keibi Robo*?) is an automated cylindrical machine designed to protect security, and enforce rules. It is specifically stated as a mobile criminal surveillance device. Each unit costs 1.2 million yen.

It can be found all over and only in Academy City. Like the Cleaning Robot, it is cylindrical in shape, and with it, it is one of the most noticeable features of the scientific advancement of the city.

## Appearance

It is cylindrical in appearance and is designed specifically to look like a metal container with rollers underneath for mobility. It also has a green circular device that in the front seems to glow red when alarmed.

It was originally designed as a puppy robot, but the puppy robots attracted children's attention too easily, making it hard for the robot to move about. As such, all of the robots were modified to look like metal cylinders.

In open grounds, it is shown to be always in groups.

## Principles

### Movement

One defining characteristic of the machine is to stand on its legs which are usually folded and kept inside the robot, to look larger and intimidating. They are also shown to be able to at least stand on one leg, as well as being able to stand back up if it falls down.

The security robot is also made to climb up over various changes in the terrain and could operate elevators using infrared signals. However, if there are certain obstacles that cannot be avoided, they would repeat the process of trying to overcome it a certain number of times until they put a hold on it and overlook for the time being to go somewhere else.

### Communication

The security robot possesses its own robotic voice which it uses to alert people and report to superiors. It also has basic knowledge of Academy City laws such as student curfews or violations in regard to using esper powers; accompanying this is a siren.

### Operation

Companies and other establishments use the robot for security purposes, for example, patrol duty's or handling ne'er-do-wells. Most importantly, the robot is part of Anti-Skill's strategy, and is used in front of formations before an Anti-Skill personnel, as well as a barrier during firefights, implying that it is strong enough to withstand some bullet fire.

It has a compartment that can open up just under its siren to reveal a net launcher used to capture suspects. They are also apparently capable of storing water and using to put out small fires.
School District 13

**School District 13** (第一三学区, *Dai Jūsan Gakku*?) is a school district found in the southwest of Academy City. It is bordered to the west by Western Tokyo, to the south by School District 2, to the east by School District 15, and to the north by School District 21.

Its primary use is for the catering of kindergarten and elementary school.

## Principles

Despite other districts being capable of handling kindergartens on its own, of all the districts in Academy City, School District 13 has the most kindergartens and elementary schools. There are also facilities and orphanages for Child Errors in the district. A lot of security personnel other than Anti-Skill are provided in the district in order safeguard and protect the children living there.

The district is used by Academy City as its image for use in brochures and pamphlets.

St. George

The flag of England with St. George's Cross

**St. George** (聖ジョージ, *Sei Jōji*?) is a Saint, the patron saint of England.

*He wielded a holy sword along with a lance, and was a Knight among the Knights.*
*His name, supposedly, was St. George.*
The Dragon of Saint GeorgeArrival of the knight
## St. George's Cross

The symbol of St. George, used as the flag of England and a component of the Union Jack, consists of a red cross over a white background.

Tatemiya Saiji wears an over-sized shirt with a slanted St. George's Cross emblazoned upon it - according to Kanzaki Kaori he originally wore it to signify that he wanted to join with Anglican Church to follow the Priestess.

## Magic based on the legend of St. George

* Index Librorum Prohibitorum makes use of several spells based on the legend of St. George while in John's Pen Mode, including **St. George's Sanctuary** and the **Dragon's Breath**.
* William Orwell, who himself has been compared to St. George, was given the *Great Sword Ascalon*, a spiritual item that was in the possession of the Astrological Surgery Brigade, which was originally created by an artist at the end of the 16th century based on the legend of the holy sword. It was created on the idea of calculating out what precisely would be needed to slay the 50 feet long "Dragon of St. George" from the legend if it had actually existed using only that one weapon. It is 3.5 meters long and weighs 200kg. The blade possesses seven different traits designed in the aid of slaying a Dragon, though only one can be used at a time.
* Aili Hexenphobia and members of the "pound economy" made use of a spell derived from St. George's fate, constructed and sold to them by a third party, in an attempt to destroy London's magical foundation. When activated, it thoroughly destroys every temple, spiritual item and other magical device within 20km, similar to how the Roman priests who urged St. George to renounce his faith had their temples destroyed by something falling from the heavens, answering his prayers.

Secret Chief

A **Secret Chief** (秘密の首領（シークレットチーフ）, *Himitsu no Shuryō (Shīkuretto Chīfu)*?) is a type of transcendental being, spoken of in the traditions of the Golden Dawn and the Rosicrucian Order.

Although the Secret Chiefs have been referenced at points in the story, the only being seen in the series so far that has been explicitly referred to as a Secret Chief is Aiwass.

## Principles

The Secret Chiefs are supreme cosmic entities similar to the Magic Gods that oversaw the mystic workings of the cosmos and gave permission for the founding of magic cabals.

Samuel Liddell MacGregor Mathers claimed that the Secret Chiefs have the physical appearance of those who drank the Elixir of Life. The Secret Chiefs have also been associated with the highest levels of the Golden Dawn, namely the Third Order, though positions like 8=3 and higher have been thought of by some as made-up and just for show.

The Rosicrucian magician Anna Sprengel is a priestess of the Secret Chiefs, capable of contacting them and drawing on their power at will. Anna herself is not a Secret Chief, noting that there was no point in going to the trouble of becoming one (implying that there is a way to do so) when one could set themselves up in a position that allows free access to their power.

The sole example of a Secret Chief seen so far is Aiwass, the entity whom Aleister Crowley contacted in 1904 and received the Book of the Law from. A being of the Aeon of Horus and an 'angel' not found in any religious or mystical text prior to that contact, Aiwass is an energy-based entity, originating from the deepest layers of the world - at the Pure World of physical laws beyond the phases of magic and religion, and requires a vessel in order to wield its full power on the 'surface' of the world. Aiwass is commonly associated with the title **Holy Guardian Angel** (聖守護天使, *Sei Shugo Tenshi*?), which has occasionally been used in reference to the other Secret Chiefs. Aside from his connection to Aleister Crowley and the systems he developed, together with Anna Sprengel he is also connected to the Rosicrucian Order.

## Background

Rosicrucian magician Anna Sprengel was said to be a point of contact for the Secret Chiefs and key to the founding of the Golden Dawn, though the sole mention of her within William Wynn Westcott's Sprengel Letters was considered highly dubious.

In 1904, Aleister Crowley summoned Aiwass (who had actually been summoned prior to that point by Anna Sprengel to recover her body from Madame Horos), obtaining knowledge that would be recorded in the Book of the Law.

At some point after the downfall of the original Golden Dawn, Robert William Felkin travelled across Europe in search of the Secret Chiefs, meeting a professor whose adoptive daughter claimed to be Anna Sprengel’s niece along the way.

## Debuts

### Manga

Accelerator Chapter 47

**Tao** (道（タオ）, *Tao*?) is a character introduced in *Toaru Kagaku no Accelerator*. He is the sous-chef of Full Course.

## Appearance

Tao wears a dark-colored sous-chef jacket. His hair is a bowl cut.

## Personality

Tao is socially withdrawn and is not good at communicating with other people. However, he is still merciless when it comes to achieving his objective and is extremely loyal to the Chef. He constantly fawn over the Head Chef and does practically everything he asks with absolute joy.

## Background

His background prior to joining Full Course is unknown.

## Chronology

### Toaru Kagaku no Accelerator

#### Nectar Arc

*Main article: Nectar Arc*
Tao and two members of Full Course appeared after the fight between Tobio Yumi and Mami, with Tao carrying Himegi Matsuri.

## Abilities

Tao's esper ability is called **Aqua Navigator** (水竜軌道（アクアナビゲーター）, *Suiryū Kidō (Akua Nabigētā)*?, lit. "Water Dragon Trajectory"). It allows him to set the directionality of a specific liquid, mainly water. He used his ability to extract the nectar from Tobio Mami's body. Tao can shape the water he controls into constructs, typically eastern dragons, to attack with. He can also coat his body with a thin layer of water to act as a buffer against attacks and surround himself and at least one other person in a torrent of water as a mode of high speed transportation.

### Other abilities

Tao is quite skilled in hand-to-hand combat, as shown in his fight with Tobio Yumi and Himegi Matsuri. As the Sous Chef of Full Course, he is an adept cook, second only to the Head Chef. He is also an expert in baking pastries.
Strobila

The **Strobila** (ストロビラ, *Sutorobira*?) is a device, developed by Academy City researchers, which is intended to manipulate a person's mind without interfering with their brain by altering the balance of hormones secreted by the heart.

## Etymology

The Strobila is named after one stage in a jellyfish's life cycle.

## Appearance

The main body of the Strobila is made of plastic and is only a few millimetres long. Extending from it is a single fiber, more than 20cm long and thinner than a hair, which runs all the way to the subject's heart.

## Principles

The Strobila is a product of research into carrying out highly accurate mental control without interfering with the brain, which is closely linked to esper development. The human mind does not solely consist of the brain - aside from the chemicals released there, the other organs secrete various hormones which influence a person. In the Strobila's case, it stimulates the heart in order to alter the balance of secreted hormones, manipulating the mind without even touching the brain.

Research papers related to the strobili suggest using the method as a new restraint for out-of-control espers or efficiently controlling offenders at juvenile hall, though they were probably tacked on afterwards given that researchers generally give no thought to compromises with society except with regards to funding.

## Chronology

### Mental Out Arc

*Main article: Mental Out Arc*
At some point in November, a Strobila was secretly installed in Shokuhou Misaki's neck, as part of Mitsuari Ayu's attempt to take revenge on her. After noticing differences between the appearance of the Ground Geo power station and how she remembered it, Shokuhou suspected that someone may had tampered with her memories. This led her to visit Kumokawa Seria, one person capable of doing such a thing. Suspecting that some sort of machine might be responsible, Seria examined her body, finding the Strobila imbedded in the back of her neck and removing it.

After losing contact with the Strobila in Shokuhou Misaki's neck, Mitsuari had Yamakawa and several other people posing as Emergency Aid workers attempted to replace it under the guise of treatment for instability. Shokuhou saw through their deception and thwarted their attempt, learning in the process that the Strobila actually had no data in it, leading her to realize that it was a decoy meant to fool her into manipulating her own memories.

Later, when she was attacked at Ground Geo, Shokuhou found a Strobila embedded in her assailant's neck and ripped it out, suspecting that it was allowing her opponent to resist her Mental Out. The Strobila wasn't actually responsible, but Mitsuari acted as though it was to fool Shokuhou and catch her with a surprise attack.

## Principles

It is unknown when and how, but the district has apparently failed in its development, and have been in decline, and seems to be going in some form of urban decay. Despite this, there are still residents and most likely a working school there, as evidenced by Haruue Erii who lived there prior to her transfer to Sakugawa Middle School in School District 7.

Moreover, obsolete technology or ‘technology that won’t be seen in the market today’ are being re-researched in the district, things like vacuum pipes and steam engines. There is also apparently a rumor where the district was purposely abandoned in order to make use of it for testing ground for old technology.

Motoharu sacrifices Aogami Pierce, but is promptly ignored by him and chases Touma's group instead, and later Touma alone when the others split off from him. Meanwhile, Itsuwa, who was assigned by the Anglican Church to protect Touma from Acqua of the Back, mistakes Saigo for the God's Right Seat member, having never seen Acqua of the Back before, and tries to attack him. The chase is brought to an end, and Saigo is apparently forced into a retreat due to "health" reasons, much to Touma's relief, allowing him to get lunch.

After responding to a help call by the Hound Dog, their van is accidentally destroyed by Accelerator after he is angered by the Hound Dog's taunting him. Shaken by the event, they are unable to respond in time, and only discover that both the Hound Dog and Accelerator is gone, with only a smear of blood and human toes left where the Hound Dog used to be.

Third Resource Recycling Processing Facility

The **Third Resource Recycling Processing Facility** (第三資源再生処理施設, *Daisan Shigen Saisei Shori Shisetsu*?, Yen Press: **Resource Reclamation and Treatment Plant 3**) or **Resource Recycling Center Number 3** is a large recycling facility located in School District 5 and is within close proximity to School District 7. A facility used for processing of recyclable materials from the four school districts that surround District 5, the site is the scene of a mass murder committed by Accelerator on his pursuers, the Hound Dog.

## Appearance

The facility is a huge establishment used for processing recyclable materials, spreading out in all directions for two kilometers and having 24 entrances and exits. The facility is composed of several metallic pipes and cylindrical fuel tanks that are over 100 meters in diameter, as well as several smokestacks.

Along with the steel and concrete structure of the building and other necessary components such as steam pipes, metal pressing machines as well as complex automated machinery that operate on large motors, the facility can become very humid and can scatter powerful electromagnetic waves in it's grounds.

Nearly the entire facility is automated, with most of the human employees working within the control center of the building. At least 14 humans are employed in the building due to this.

## Chronology

### Academy City Invasion Arc

*Main article: Academy City Invasion Arc*

After discovering from Orson the Hound Dog, that they can track him with his scent using the Olfactory Sensor, Accelerator opts to use a detergent in Third Resource Recycling Processing Facility to clean-up his scent before moving to find Last Order.

Here, he subdues the employees of the building and goes about his business to find the detergent. The Hound Dogs alter overrun the facility cutting off the security cameras. Fully expecting their arrival and knowing full-well of the electromagnetic waves in the facility that could ruin his calculations, Accelerator uses the darkness of the facility to his advantage, using psychological warfare to psych the Hound Dogs. By killing Hound Dogs in horrific means to induce and using their communication lines to sow confusion, Accelerator's tactics forces the Hound Dogs into a battle they are completely inexperienced in.

Here, Accelerator later horribly kills Nancy and later Vera; after eliminating all the Hound Dogs inside the facility, Accelerator finally finds the detergent and uses it to cover his scent from them. Moving outside, he discovers one last Hound Dog that has survived Accelerator's onslaught, and is seeking for help from Anti-Skill who escaped Vento of the Front's Divine Punishment. The Hound Dog unfortunately taunts Accelerator, and angers him to the point where he uses his esper mode to utterly turn him into a mere blood stain on the ground.

Anti-Skill Saigou Ryouta and Sugiyama Edao, witnesses the aftermath of the murder of the Hound Dog, which forced them to label Accelerator as a suspect for an attempted murder.
Summer City Flood Prevention Program

**Summer City Flood Prevention Program** (夏期都市水害防止プログラム, *Kaki Toshi Suigai Bōshi Puroguramu*?) is a large-scale disaster prevention program conducted in Academy City in order to test underground passageways' effectiveness during a flood.

## Principles

Apparently only used in places that has underground streets and passageways like in School District 7, though it also takes place in the entire city and can includes some above-ground roads, the program has the underground deliberately flooded for a time by guiding river water into them after passing it through water purification equipment in order to test the underground's drainage equipment and emergency shutters. This, however, essentially turns all the city's shortcuts into flowing pools. The program apparently allows for people to swim in the pools.

The only known time this program took place was in the summer one year before the main story, the same one where Kamijou Touma and Shokuhou Misaki finally told their names to one another.

A **Synchronous Multilayer Bomb** (多層同期爆弾, *Tasō Dōki Bakudan*?, Yen Press: **Multi-synchronous bomb**) is a type of tactical weapon created in Academy City. It was part of BLOCK's conspiracy to assassinate Aleister Crowley.

## Principles

It is a large bomb that has a number of high power explosives arranged in a regulated manner. A normal tactical weapon spreads an enormous blast over a large area while the synchronous multilayer bomb was made to focus a highly destructive blast on one small target so as to utterly destroy it. It was created in order to bomb an enemy stronghold in an urban environment with no civilian sacrifices.

As the Windowless Building was impervious to even a nuclear attack they wanted to discover the route through which materials are brought into the windowless building. To do this they attacked the Reformatory in an attempt to take the Move Point's companions hostage and use them as leverage to find her identity. Once this was done they planned to negotiate with her to find the route they needed. In the end, however, GROUP was able to defeat BLOCK and stop their plans.
Telepathy

Relevant topics on**Science**

**Telepathy** (精神感応（テレパス）, *Seishin Kannō (Terepasu)*?) is the transmission of information from one person to another without using any of our known sensory channels or physical interaction.

Telepathy is one of the six great attributes of the Power Curriculum Program measured by the System Scan, alongside Psychometry, Clairvoyance, Psychokinesis, and Precognition.

## Principles

Telepathy is the ability to receive and transmit information with one’s mind without physical interaction. Unlike most other fiction, in the world of *Toaru Majutsu no Index,* telepathy makes use of an invisible "wire" made by the user through the manipulation of the vibration of air to create a frequency. It is like an acoustic tube, able to pass the vibrations created by the sound, and passing it to through a connected circuit. Apparently, any part of the body would do to make a connection, and apparently, the higher the level, the more wires can be constructed. The sound is sent directly to the brain afterwards.

Apparently, telepathy is one of the many information transfer abilities. Other than sound, a skilled telepath can determine the general location of a person they are connected to, like a GPS. However, many other mind-based abilities fall under telepathy due to those powers overlapping with the core concept of telepathy, allowing a telepath to interact with their own mind and the minds of others in a variety of ways. Some of the more common abilities also considered telepathy would be reading the thoughts of others at will and detecting the presences of other minds through extrasensory means.

### Weaknesses

If the Imagine Breaker happens to pass through the wire, then the connection is severed. Furthermore, those who are connected are unable to lower the volume of the "sound" being transferred, as the telepath controls it. There is also a limit to the length of the wire that is created depending on level, as someone can escape the telepath's range.

According to Touma, the research on telepathy is still ongoing, and due to the prevalence of handphones, has slowly become obsolete.

## Known Telepaths

Those Who Prevent the Extermination of the World Tree

**Those Who Prevent the Extermination of the World Tree** (世界樹を絶やさぬ者, *Seikaiju wo Tayasanu Mono*?) was a Norse Magic Cabal, one of five who united to attack Brunhild Eiktobel's cabal and were subsequently destroyed by her in revenge.

## Background

Five years ago, Those Who Prevent the Extermination of the World Tree, together with the Iron Stake that Carves Knowledge, Champions from the Sea, Those who Know the Rune of the God’s Sword and the Hammer that Tempers Gold within the Earth, attacked Brunhild Eiktobel's cabal out of fear that her nature as a Saint and Valkyrie would cause pure Norse-style magic to go into decline.

After destroying Brunhild's cabal, the cabals continually pursued her. They attacked other smaller Norse cabals so they would feel threatened and not attempt to support her, and killed children with no connection to magic just for speaking to her as she lay collapsed by the roadside. They also dug up the graves she'd made for the children that were killed by their attack and fed the bodies to wolves.

The cabals eventually captured Brunhild during a period when her Valkyrie and Saint sides were equal and she was reduced to the level of a normal person. Though they loathed her, they didn't kill her as they wanted to obtain certain spells which she had gathered which ordinary people couldn't use. Instead they tortured her, not just for information but also feeling joy from it. They also had a boy, Ceillier Flatley, become Brunhild's emotional support to make the torture more effective, however as the boy became closer to her, he grew guilty and confessed his role to Brunhild. Sometime later, a cabal member came to Brunhild and grinning, informed her that Ceillier had killed himself, presenting a letter with his last apology. Enraged, Brunhild broke her restraints and escaped.

Those Who Prevent the Extermination of the World Tree was noted to have been active recently by the Tour Guide, around the time of the bombings carried out by the magician Leasic. It was crushed when Brunhild initiated her revenge against the five cabals.
Virus Isolation Center

The **Virus Isolation Center** (ウィルス保管センター, *Wirusu Hokan Sentā*?, Yen Press: **Virus Storage Center**) is a facility located in School District 5 of Academy City. It is here where Academy City-made computer viruses are analyzed and antivirus software is made.

## Background

The center has a number of unanalyzed viruses and a number of experimental viruses purposefully created by Academy City researchers. The viruses, like other technology, are 20 or 30 years ahead of those found outside of Academy City. As there is a 20-30 year gap between Academy City and the outside world in technology, so too are Academy City's viruses. As such, viruses from Academy City, old or new, would be a completely unknown threat to machines in the outside. Moreover, if a brand new virus that not even Academy City antivirus software could handle were to be leaked outside, it would be a big problem.

## Chronology

### Battle Royale Arc

*Main article: Battle Royale Arc*
BLOCK began their move on October 9th, hacking the Virus Isolation Center and spreading the viruses through the External Connection Terminals, and at the same time hacking Hikoboshi II's satellite control center so they can use the satellite in order to split the forces that would be sent out to deal with it. BLOCK's main goal with the hacking however was to take down the surveillance system that Hikoboshi II satellite had and deliberately spread false information of using it's large caliber ground-attack laser to attack School District 13.

GROUP was contacted about a cracking attempt being carried out against the Center. Due to an attempted assassination of Oyafune Monaka by SCHOOL earlier in the day it was assumed they were behind it. Knowing the damage an Academy City virus would wreak when it is leaked the External Connection Terminals begin shutting down in order to prevent their spread. All of the terminals other the one in School District 13 have been cut-off, forcing GROUP to go the district to stop it themselves. While doing so, they receive a report of the satellite control center for Hikoboshi II, forcing GROUP to split up responsibilities. Accelerator goes to School District 23 to destroy the antenna that is for the satellite, while Tsuchimikado Motoharu and Musujime Awaki continue towards School District 13. Both later succeed in their actions, with Accelerator inadvertently fulfilling BLOCK's desires. Meanwhile, Motoharu and Awaki just decided to blow up the center of the facility, ending the danger of the viruses from the Center from spreading.

## School Districts

### **Next**

School District 2

**School District 1** (第一学区, *Dai Ichi Gakku*?) is a School District near the very center of Academy City. It is bordered by School District 16 to the northwest, School District 4 to the northeast, School District 5 to the southeast, School District 7 to the southwest, and School District 8 to the west.

It is the district where most of the city's administration is located.

## Principles

As stated, the School District's focus is to accommodate the administration of Academy City. The district is lined with administrative and judicial facilities and it does not have the sense of livelihood that other, more normal districts had. It has almost no residences or restaurants. In exchange for gathering together all of the functions needed for smoothly operating such a large city, only the bare minimum of functionality for people to live there has been prepared. The extremely mechanical cityscape helps reinforce that image of the district.

The district is the base of the Academy City Board of Directors, but not the Chairman, who resides in the Windowless Building in School District 7.

There are unofficial railway lines and subway stations under the district's judicial facilities for prison trains (such as the Overhunting) that are sometimes used to secretly transport prisoners directly to the prison facilities in School District 10 when ordinary transportation would not suffice.

*Main article: Post-Handcuffs Arc*
On December 29th, as the district was the site of protests following the trial of Accelerator and the Winter Cleaning movement, the prison train Overhunting departed one of the unofficial stations at 5PM, carrying survivors of Operation Handcuffs and heading for the Special Criminal Adult Correctional Facility in School District 10.

#### New Year's Arc

*Main article: New Year's Arc*
On January 3rd, in order to circumvent the legal protections around the building housing the Condroniard Republic consulate set up by the Bridge Builders Cabal in School District 12, Accelerator arranged for the consulate to be moved to the nicer District 1 in exchange for some economic support, putting the previous building in a gray zone and allowing him to take action against the cabal before the move was completed.
Wash

**Wash** (ワッシュ, *Wasshu*?) 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 Richmond, piloted the plane while their captain handled with the situation.

## Chronology

### Toaru Majutsu no Index

#### British Royal Family Arc

*Main article: British Royal Family Arc*
He is first seen along with his captain and Richmond, 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. Wash later brings the Archery to the captain and returns to the cockpit.

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. As Richmond speaks to the captain, Wash continues piloting the plane. 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, Wash, and Richmond 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.
Time Travel

**Time Travel** (時間旅行, *Jikan Ryokō*?) is the process of traveling to a different time axis. In the *Toaru Majutsu no Index* series, Time Travel is a reccuring concept, mainly achievable through the power of Thaumaturgy or the Imaginary Technology.

## Principles

Time Travel is said to allows people to travel through time and space. To accomplish this, one imagines their inner universe while manipulating the particles inside their body; when all of the particles inside their body turn into anti-particles, the user begins to travel backwards in time. While using this method to go back in time, the user comes into what seems like a time tunnel, with moments of the past appearing in front of them in the form of warped "images". To select a specific time and place to return to, the user simply goes through a corresponding image.

### Means of Time Travel

The Second Magic, the Operation of Parallel Worlds, possesses the ability to actualize time travel. The Fifth Magic is also able to perform a form of it as a side effect, but time travel isn't its actual domain. Magic Gods are also capable of performing time travel with their immense magical powers.

According to Kihara Seisuu, the Imaginary Technology of the Imaginary Number District has the ability to produce some form of Time Travel.
Trial of Sin

Agnese Sanctis gives Orsola Aquinas a taste of what will come to her during a simulation of the Trial of Sin.

## Information

### **Side**

Magic

The **Trial of Sin** (試罪法, ***Trial of Sin***?) is a mock "holy trial" used by both the Church of England and the Roman Catholic Church to determine if a person is a sinner and tests their faith in God. The trial is set up in such a way that no matter the outcome, the accused will always be found guilty. According to Stiyl Magnus, it has now been banned, although the Roman Catholic Church has been reported to still use it.

## Principles

According to Stiyl Magnus, a member of a church cannot be killed because the person is a believer in God, but they can be executed when they have disobeyed the Word of God, such as sinners, witches, and disillusioned believers. The trial is used to determine whether or not the accused person is guilty of disobeying the Word of God. However it was created in such a way that anyone who is forced into the trial will always be found guilty. This is done by making a test that is impossible to fulfill in any normal means such as: forcing someone to hold a hot metal rod. If the person is not guilty then God will protect them, but if they are armed, they are guilty. Even then, if there is a possibility that the accused will go unharmed they will still be found guilty, as it will be rationalized that the devil protecting them.

To the Roman Catholic Church, the trial will last about 2-3 days before the execution of the accused, and has to be in Rome in accordance with proper procedures. Agnese Sanctis describes the procedures for the trial appalling and much worse than that conducted by the Anglican Church.

## Chronology

### Orsola Aquinas Rescue Arc

*Main article: Orsola Aquinas Rescue Arc*
The test is described in detail by Stiyl Magnus to Kamijou Touma, after Orsola Aquinas capture by the Roman Catholic Church. The trial would have been used for the Roman Catholic Church to justify her execution. The Agnese Forces forces beating up Orsola in the Church of Orsola is somewhat of a simulation of the trial and Agnese Sanctis mentioned that it would be preferrable for Orsola to die there instead of standing, which would have befallen Orsola had she not been rescued.

## Trivia

* The Trial of Sin is similar to the historical Trial by ordeal.
