Wildcard coccus

The ***Wildcard coccus*** (ワイルドカード球菌, *Wairudokādo Kyūkin*?) is a highly virulent killer bacterium introduced in *Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index*.

## Principles

It is a coccus-type bacterium as its name indicates, as such it is of spherical shape when it viewed under the microscope.

There is no mention on what would happen if *W. coccus* infected a person, other than they would undoubtedly be killed.

### Transmission

*W. coccus* method of infection is very complex as it can mix in with other microorganisms and multiply. It can be transmitted via air, blood, mouth, or skin contact. It can grow even more dangerous by combining with athlete’s foot, *Lactobacillus*, or other extremely common pathogens.

### Prevention

*W. coccus* is powerful, but it could be easily sterilized by exposing it to powerful ultraviolet light for a certain period of time. That was part of what created such a danger of it being used as a weapon. The case of *W. coccus* Motoharu carried died after he stopped by a tanning salon, most likely deliberately as he didn't want to use it.

## Chronology

#### Agitate Halation Arc

*Main article: Agitate Halation Arc*
It plays a minor role as the final trump card of Tsuchimikado Motoharu against the people who "killed" his sister, Tsuchimikado Maika, though only for threats and negotiations as Motoharu himself didn't want to use it. It was however, set-up for Motoharu to leak it during his rampage, and kill the enemies of the Agitate Halation Project in one fell swoop, as well as Kamijou Touma, though failed as it was killed before it could be used.
Venus Probe Contest

**Venus Probe Contest** (金星探査コンテスト, *Kinsei Tansa Kontesuto*?) is a massive world-wide free for all event in which unnamed probes are launched into space in order to be the first to discover something on Venus. However, the true purpose of the event was for Academy City to send out rockets into space in order to finish the spaceport portion of Endymion the space elevator.

The launching of the rockets to space for this event coincides with the launching of rockets to acquire the Remnant of Tree Diagram during the September space launches.

## Principles

Due to the delicate nature of constructing a space elevator in both foreign relations and in the relations between the magic and science side, Academy City used the contest as an excuse to launch materials for the construction of the spaceport of Endymion. It can be assumed that Academy City started the contest in the first place.

The contest is free for anyone to enter, from projects put together by the European Union, other groups made up of multiple nations, down to regional efforts run by local shopping districts. The scale is so large that at least 400 rockets entered the contest, and that in Academy City as of September 10 of the timeline, the rate of rockets being fired form School District 23 was at a rate of about one in every 10 minutes.

### Goal

The goal of the contest was to to make a new discovery on Venus. It is apparently vague, as anything can be apparently be tried to discovered such as an asteroid or mountain on Venus.

Despite knowing that their technology lagged behind that of Academy City, the other organizations and nations apparently used the contest as a way to quantify their technological quality compared to Academy City. There are also apparently efforts to find materials that altered by oil.

### Venus Probe Project Race

The **Venus Probe Project Race** (金星探査プロジェクトレース, *Kinsei Tansa Purojekutorēsu*?) is a contest that was organized by the Academy City SNS Rondo Net that had users predict which team will make the first discovery after registering on the race's page. If the entree chooses the probe that makes the first discovered, they are entered into a lottery for the name of the discovery. Kamijou Touma tries to enter the race but is unable to participate due to a communication error with the webpage for the race.

### Novel

Railgun LN

**Sanki Ai** (算木逢（さんきあい）, *Sanki Ai*?) is an accountant serving Resanerié Sadis Dialine, as well as a student and debate representative of a School Garden school.

## Personality

Sanki apparently only ever views things numerically.

## Background

Initially Sanki was apparently an ordinary girl, but would come into the service of Resanerié Sadis Dialine, along with Tougyo Kea, Renka Ephilty and Shitatsuzumi Yoshiko, with Sanki acting as Resanerié's accountant. The five attended separate schools in School Garden and became the debate representative for their respective schools.

## Chronology

### Toaru Kagaku no Railgun (light novel)

*Main article: Toaru Kagaku no Railgun (light novel)*
On the day of the entrance exams, she and the other debate representatives supported Resanerié as she executed her plot to take School Garden into the skies and make it independent from Academy City under her control.

As Misaka Mikoto began her rematch with Resanerié, she and the others moved to stop Uiharu Kazari from accessing the intranet and publicly revealing the data Yugure Kanaria had found. During the failed attack, as she witnessed Renka Ephilty crash, she intended to hide and secretly bring her allies back into the fight to attack their enemy when they thought they had won and let their guard down, but she was seen by Yugure Tsumebakei and attacked by her enlarged white blood cells.

## Abilities

Sanki's esper ability is **Plus Equipment** (万能吸着（プラスエクイップメント）, *Ban'nō Kyūchaku (Purasu Ekuippumento)*?, lit. "Multipurpose Attachment"), a type of telekinesis that forms fine fabric with a skintight fit that reaches every pore. The fabric itself is apparently more stronger than velcro and more easily attach to skin, and taking in more air than tying on a normal cloth, and as such, more effective as stopping bleeding than a bandage. It can also be removed without trouble as the ability can be deactivated at will. It cannot heal broken bones nor can it fully heal people but it can still get a person fighting as long as they can force body to move.

She presumably has a degree of debating skill, being the debate representative of her school.
Traveling Fortress

*For the large fortified units that can fly and submerge, see Mobile Fortress.*

The **Traveling Fortress** (移動鉄壁, *Idō Teppeki*?) is a carriage that is for the use of the British Royal Family. The name is derived from the fact that it is an apparently impregnable carriage.

## Principles

It is a specialized long distance convoy carriage of the British Royal Family. It is said to have the perfect protection net in a magical sense, due to the fact that its wheels and wooden frame were not only strengthened by the carriage itself was thoroughly fortified with over 700 spiritual items and magic circles. Moreover, it is referred to being far stronger than Index's Walking Church. Indeed, when the carriage was made someone has said that even if the planet was cut in half it was unlikely for the carriage to release an SOS signal. In spite of this claim, an SOS claim is still installed on the vehicle.

The carriage is apparently highly decorated, having golden leaf and other precious metals on it. It is also described as being large and looked like it was from a fairy tale. As it is a convoy carriage it has a convoy of other carriages that surround and protect it which are similarly designed. Horse draw the carriages, which are fixed with formal protectors. Moreover, the carriage has a license plate for travelling on public roads, and is referred to as a parade carriage as well.

It and its convoy of other carriages can travel over 500 kilometers per hour on roads that have magic circles fixed at intervals when it was constructed.
Warp Topaz

The **Warp Topaz** (ワープトパーズ, *Wāpu Topāzu*?) is a mysterious gemstone that has the power to warp space itself.

## Appearance

The Warp Topaz appears as an orange round gemstone with a red spiral pattern.

## Principles

The Warp Topaz has the capacity of warping reality using space-based phenomena, meaning shaping the existential state around oneself by manipulating the surrounding space to enact any desired effect. Any physics on a space can be distorted, placements can be changed, warp-like effects can be possible to induce teleportation and dimensional consequences.

This allows the user to create localized wormholes to other places, thus allowing the user and others to travel great distances around the world in an instant. This ability also allows the user to open "windows" to the world in an instant, allowing the user to look farther and further in hours. According to Kihara Seisuu, the Warp Topaz responds strongly to even the most passive of energy waves and anything above a light, controlled charge to it can result in extreme reality alteration.

## Background

Kihara Seisuu has claimed that he has put research into the Warp Topaz over his entire career. He later managed to acquire it at a later point in time. Upon discovering it, he found out that the Warp Topaz responded strongly to even the most passive of energy waves. As he put more research into the stone, he discovered that the Warp Topaz needed a source of power to charge it but anything above a light, controlled charge would result in extreme reality alteration. Since Warp Portals were difficult to create and direct, the components of his custom left glove were made after countless hours of careful testing, but this was not enough to prevent the power of the Warp Topaz causing damage to his regular glove underneath.

## Chronology

*Main article: Baggage City Arc*
During the events in Baggage City, Seisuu used the Warp Topaz to send Shar Berylan to a desolate wasteland.
Wimbledon

The ***Wimbledon*** (ウィンブルドン, *Winburudon*?) is a destroyer-type warship operated by the United Kingdom's Royal Navy. She is equipped with Bunker Cluster warheads.

## Etymology

Wimbledon is a district of southwest London, home to the oldest tennis tournament in the world, commonly known by the same name.

## Principles

If Carissa's boasts are to be believed, the ship is equipped with radars and anti-air defense weapons that can detect and intercept foreign objects at that level of accuracy that can allow them to attack seagulls.

The ship is equipped with the Bunker Cluster missiles, and combined with her accurate firing capabilities makes her a very powerful weapon. She is apparently capable of preparing at least 24 cruise missiles loaded with bunker cluster warheads.

## Chronology

#### British Halloween

*Main article: British Halloween*
*Wimbledon* is first mentioned during the Battle of Buckingham Palace after the Anglican Church forces' attack on Carissa using a combination of Villian's magic arrowhead and the Coven Compass' large-scale flash spell destroyed the remaining Griffin Sky mobile fortresses that Carissa deployed earlier in the battle. Carissa orders Wimbledon, at that time patrolling the Strait of Dover to fire at Buckingham Palace using the Bunker Cluster warheads, which she does so, nearly wiping out the Anglican Church forces if not for Kanzaki Kaori creating a large magic barrier around the area. After the first missile was fired, Carissa once again orders Wimbledon to make preparations in firing another cruiser missile equipped with a Bunker Cluster. She later fires again, though this missile is however stopped by the Knight Leader using his magic.

Later, after the Knight Leader decided to join forces with the Anglican Church, Carissa threatens to have, not only *Wimbledon*, to fire the cruise missiles equipped Bunker Cluster missiles, but the other destroyers, ***King Henry VII*** (キングヘンリー７, ****King Henry VII****?), ***Sherwood*** (シャーウッド, ****Sherwood****?), ***Hastings*** (ヘイスティング, ****Hastings****?), and ***Shakespeare*** (シェイクスピア, ****Shakespeare****?), as well, totaling in 80 bunker clusters. Her orders are prevented from reaching the ships after Acqua of the Back arrives and destroys an antenna used for military transmissions.
Tree Diagram Information Receival Center

The **Tree Diagram Information Receival Center** (樹形図の設計者（ツリーダイアグラム）情報送受信センター, ***Tree Diagram Information Receival Center***?) is a facility found in School District 23 which, as the name indicates, received data from the supercomputer Tree Diagram prior to its destruction.

## Appearance

A large satellite dish is located in the facility as the Tree Diagram is located in space on the Orihime-1 satellite. The facility uses sensors as well as Security robots. Most likely before falling into disuse, the facility may have been more heavily guarded.

## Principles

Not only does it receive information but it exchanges data with the Tree Diagram, both for sending to requests and receiving responses. Moreover, the facility also exchanges data with other satellites.

According to Misaka Mikoto, it is the only window to communicating with Tree Diagram at specific times. The facility can handle hundreds of transmissions between the satellite and the facility a day.

## Chronology

#### Sisters Arc

*Main article: Sisters Arc*
In a last ditch effort to stop the Level 6 Shift project, Mikoto goes to the facility in order for her to hack the Tree Diagram, the same supercomputer that dictates the movements of the researchers doing the experiment in the first place. By the time Mikoto arrived, there is still minimum security and the machinery is still being run despite being abandoned by personnel for quite a long time since the Tree Diagram's destruction.
Yamate

* Anime
* Novel
* Manga

**Yamate** (山手, *Yamate*?) is a minor character introduced in the *Toaru Majutsu no Index* series. He is an operative of BLOCK. He is the first member of the organization to be killed in the ensuing struggle between the various underworld organizations of Academy City on October 9 on the story's first year. His face is borrowed by Etzali after killing him, and used his appearance to infiltrate the organization.

## Appearance

Yamate is described as a young man with a lean body type. His hair is parted in the middle.

## Background

He is an operative of member and is one of its central figures, privy to the organization's plans of a rebellion against Aleister Crowley and to escape the city. Etzali thought to himself after taking Yamate's appearance that it was surprising that Yamate was someone important for his organization, noting that he was rather weak.

## Chronology

### Toaru Majutsu no Index

#### Battle Royale Arc

*Main article: Battle Royale Arc*
Yamate is the central member of BLOCK sent to destroy Management's apartment in Family Side in order to prevent other organizations like GROUP to discover SCHOOL'S plans. This is due to the fact that they were forced to modify their plans in order to accommodate SCHOOL's actions in order for the organization from getting in their way, giving up on dealing with SCHOOL's actions.

Yamate and with several armed men assault the apartment. Etzali, under the guise of Unabara Mitsuki, who was sent there by Tsuchimikado Motoharu to find some clues on Management's dealings, is forced to escape from them to another room. Trapped, Etzali decides to attack one of them and take their appearance using his magic; Yamate was the unfortunate victim. He later stuffs Yamate's corpse inside a closet. What Etzali didn't realize is that Yamate is one of BLOCK's central members, because of this he couldn't simply slide away unnoticed and is forced to keep himself undercover, indirectly monitoring BLOCK's current activities.

BLOCK never realizes that Yamate had been replaced even after Etzali compromises their plan and escapes the group, though GROUP noticed Etzali's actions once Tsuchimikado Motoharu saw the real Yamate's mutilated corpse.

Zener Cards

**Zener Cards** (ゼナー・カード, *Zenā Kādo*?), also known as **ESP Cards**, are cards used in System Scans, most specifically, clairvoyance.

## Appearance

There are five different Zener cards: a hollow circle (one curve), a Greek cross (two lines), three vertical wavy lines (or "waves"), a hollow square (four lines), and a hollow five-pointed star. There are 25 cards in a pack, five of each design.

## Principles

The esper being tested must be able to determine what the contents of the card are correctly.

## Background

Perceptual psychologist Karl Zener designed the cards in the early 1930s for experiments conducted with his colleague, parapsychologist J. B. Rhine.

In *Toaru Majutsu no Index*, the card's material was changed from vinyl to ABS resin, which was instituted by the United States of America in 1992 due to a trick that the fingerprints on the card made it possible to determine the card's contents.

## Chronology

Wind Turbine

A **Wind Turbine** (風力原動機, *Fūryoku Gendōki*?) is a device that converts kinetic energy from the wind, into mechanical energy, in order to produce energy.

Numerous wind turbines are used to generate electricity, specifically, the **Three-Bladed Propeller** (三枚プロペラ, *San-mai Puropera*?), inside Academy City, near roads, paths, or even with school grounds, and is one of the most iconic features of the city.

## Principles

The power generator of the wind turbine is actually a motor. The central coil, that spins when electricity is used, creates electricity upon being spun manually. Moreover, the motors will rotate when supplied with specific electromagnetic waves.

### Usage in Academy City

The wind turbines are part of the city's experiments, like the Cleaning robot, but function well enough to be practical for the city. The city has more than 10,000 wind turbines across the city, which replace electric cables and power lines that are present in a regular city.

Despite having other sources of electricity such as nuclear power plants or School District 21's dams, the wind turbines are the city's main source of electricity, the other being solar energy.

Because the turbines are set up all across the city, it had the advantage of making it more difficult for a power outage to occur if some of them were destroyed in an accident or a disaster, adding complexity because the network of power supplies spread all across the city, making it a necessity for facilities to control the flow of electricity. As such, each district has its own Central Hub Transformer Station.

The triple-bladed propellers are made of carbon fiber materials, with metal components in the tower. A propeller blade weighs about 500kg.

#### School District 22

The entire surface of School District 22 is a wind farm. There are no buildings and as such, wind turbines cover the district. One interesting note about the district is it also uses a different type of wind turbine. Here, the wind turbines are piled up or arranged on top of one another which resemble a 30 story tall jungle gym. The reason being is that the underground complexes that extended downwards require a lot of electrical energy, and that the district cannot rely on regular wind-generated electricity or solar-generated electricity.

Most of the energy is used to pump air in, absorbing oxygen in from the surface, removing the carbon dioxide accumulate below. Moreover, there is also a need to pump rainwater and wastewater up. With all those in consideration, 40% of the electricity consumed in Academy City is put into use for the large air pumps.
Vera

**Vera** (ヴェーラ, *Vēra*?, Yen Press: **Vela**) is a minor character introduced in *Toaru Majutsu no Index*. A member of a small squad of Hound Dogs sent to kill Accelerator during the invasion of Academy City by Vento of the Front, she is most notably remembered for witnessing the death of her colleague Nancy.

## Personality

She is described in the novel as a cheerful and sociable girl, though she can gauge the distance in a relationship between her and other people. She is also apparently able to talk her way out of a conversation relating her girl issues.

Vera is also described as trying to at least try put a little trust with her comrades, even though the members of Hound Dog despised each other.

## Chronology

### Academy City Invasion Arc

*Main article: Academy City Invasion Arc*
After the escape of Accelerator, Kihara Amata orders a squad of Hound Dogs to track him down and eliminate him, here, Vera becomes a part of the squad under Nancy. Their search later leads them to the Third Resource Recycling Processing Facility where Accelerator tries to find a detergent that would make their Scent Sensor ineffective.

However, with Accelerator being unable to use his powers due to the electromagnetic interference in the facility, he resorts to mind games and psychological warfare to kill off the Hound Dogs.

Here, Vera is separated from the team, utterly confused and vulnerable due to Accelerator using their own communication lines to sow confusion. With low visibility being part of Accelerator's tactics, Vera opts to go for the safety of the outside.

She however, unfortunately witnesses Nancy's death, which completely breaks her mind down and is later killed by Accelerator himself. In the anime version, a scared Vera discovers the corpse of Nancy in a shaft and stops the metal press machine activated by Accelerator from crushing her corpse. Here, Vera breaks down after discovering a pool of Nancy's blood.

In the original light novels, Vera witnesses the slow death of Nancy, being crushed by the metal press and tries to stop the process. However, much to her horror she discovers the blown of jaw of Nancy and immediately after discovers the corpse of another Hound Dog that was killed through hot steam. At this point, in extreme disgust Vera vomited on herself involuntarily, and then completely breaks down mentally. She is soon relieved of her misery and terror by Accelerator.

## Abilities

She is a normal human, though as a member of Hound Dog, she knows how to use firearms.
Trafalgar Square

**Trafalgar Square** (トラファルガー広場, *Torafarugā Hiroba*?) is a notable public square in Westminster, London.

## Etymology

The square is named after the Battle of Trafalgar.

## Principles

The square's primary landmark is **Nelson's Column** (ネルソン記念柱, *Neruson Kinenchu*?), a monument commemorating Admiral Horatio Nelson, commander of the British Navy at the Battle of Trafalgar, who achieved victory but was shot and killed during the battle. It is a 52m tall granite column of the Corinthian order, with a sandstone statue of Nelson on top of it.

Other features of the square include four bronze lions guarding the column, known as the Landseer's Lions, after their architect, and a bronze equestrian statue of King George IV.

Among those who are trapped inside and faced with St. Germain's schemes include Kamijou Touma, together with Index and Othinus, ITEM and a boy posing as the Number Six Level 5, Aihana Etsu. Around the same time, the true Gremlin, having lost their Hidden World, begins to make their move.
Transla-Pen

The **Transla-Pen** (トランスペン, *Toransupen*?) is a language translation tool, sold in Academy City.

## Principles

As its name suggests, the pen-shaped device is a tool that translates written text and spoken words between languages. A user can use the tool to translate between two set languages (such as English and Japanese) by either tracing the tip of the pen over written text or by using the microphone in the tip to pick up spoken words. The accessory can be synced with a phone, but is capable of audibly translating a conversation back and forth between two people without doing so. It is quite cheap, sold at discount stores in Academy City and coming as a free bonus with language material bought online, however its performance isn't always up to par.

## Chronology

### Souyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index

#### Los Angeles Arc

*Main article: Los Angeles Arc*
At some point prior to December 26th, Kamijou Touma had bought a Transla-Pen, thinking that he might need it sometime, but it had ended up unused and gathering dust. Early in the morning on December 26th, after escaping hospital he had Fukiyose Seiri and Himegami Aisa bring him some of his things, particularly his Transla-Pen, before being picked up by the Anglicans. He made extensive use of the accessory during the subsequent events in Los Angeles, though he was annoyed at the device's poor performance at times.
Uragami

* Anime
* Manga

**Uragami** (浦上, *Uragami*?) is a minor character in the *Toaru Majutsu no Index* series. She is a member of the Amakusa-Style Remix of Church.

## Etymology

The character used for her name is similar to Urakami, an area in the northern part of Nagasaki, the ground zero for the second atomic bombing in history. It may be a reference to the Urakami Cathedral, which was destroyed in the bombing but was later reconstructed.

The furigana for Uragami (うらがみ, *Uragami*?) has her name pronounced differently than the above places.

## Appearance

Her hair is tied in a ponytail and has a small smiley-face as a decorative ornament. She also sports an ahoge on top of her head.

She wears a purple shirt, a red short skirt, and white thigh-high socks.

## Chronology

### Toaru Majutsu no Index

#### Orsola Aquinas Rescue Arc

*Main article: Orsola Aquinas Rescue Arc*
During the rescue of Orsola Aquinas, she, along with three other Amakusa Christians, encounters Kamijou Touma, Index, and Stiyl Magnus shortly after they enter Parallel Sweets Park. After Stiyl escapes from the area with Index, the other three Amakusa members run after him while Uragami stays behind to defeat Touma. Touma begins to run away from her and eventually runs between a small gap between two shops when he trips over some tools. Once she catches up, Touma quickly grabs a toothpaste tube-like object and throws it at her. When she cuts the tube, the sword becomes covered in a substance which turns out to be grease for machinery. The grease greatly reduces the blade's sharpness, and when she swings the blade at Touma and hits his wrists, the blade doesn't cut him. Before she could react to this, he slams his entire weight into her chest and knocks her unconscious. He protects her head before she hits the ground, and lays her on the ground. Before leaving, he grabs her sword and brings it along with him so that she can't use it when she wakes up. When Tatemiya Saiji encounters Kamijou Touma, he notices the sword and asks Touma if he got it from Uragami.

In the anime adaptation, she reappears right after Touma defeats Agnese Sanctis, rushing towards him as he collapses.

#### La Regina del Mare Adriatico Arc

*Main article: La Regina del Mare Adriatico Arc*
In the anime Uragami appears briefly during the Amakusa's standoff with the Agnese Forces on one of the ice ships of the Queen's Fleet.

## Abilities

*Main article: Amakusa-Style Remix of Church#Abilities*
Since she is an Amakusa, she is most likely proficient in hiding magic techniques through every day objects, like healing spells. She is proficient with the use of a dress sword and fairly acrobatic, as shown when she attacked from a great height with no trouble. Even then, she was taken down with little trouble by Touma.
Vatican Library

The **Vatican Library** (バチカン図書館, *Bachikan Toshokan*?), called the *Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana* in Italian, is the library of the Holy See, currently located in the Vatican. It is one of the oldest libraries in the world and contains one of the most significant collections of historical texts. The Roman Catholic Church somehow acquired the Book of the Law and locked it inside the library.

## Chronology

### Toaru Kagaku no Railgun

#### First Year Arc

*Main article: First Year Arc*
As tensions were rising between the Hasekura Clique and the Mikagami Clique, when Asato Kisa relayed orders to avoid conflict from Hasekura Reiri in Paris to other members of the clique, Yasutoba tried to persuade them to take action instead and on failing decided to act by herself, disobeying Hasekura's instructions.

Yasutoba subsequently ambushed Mikagami Nagisa as she was out walking with Kadosaka Rina and Sukezawa Sena. After the group escape the initial attack, she re-encountered and faced both Kadosaka and Sukezawa, who sought to spare their leader further trouble. She defeated them both, but Mikagami returned to protect them from further harm and turned the tables on Yasutoba. Yasutoba's attempts to rattle Mikagami were turned back on her and she was finished off by Mikagami's enlarged body slam.

When Hasekura returned to Tokiwadai after her demonstration in Paris, Yasutoba was still depressed over her failure and what had happened, though Hasekura soon cheered her up.

After Montgolfier was identified as the culprit behind the attacks that instigated and aggravated the clique conflict, an eager Yasutoba joined the rest of the Hasekura clique, with later reinforcements from the Mikagami and Sha cliques, for a raid on the company's headquarters, and was involved in the subsequent battle with Montgolfier's operatives and their prototype weapons.

## Personality

He is shown to be dedicated to his duty as a knight of the Roman Catholic Church, and would willingly sacrifice the lives of thousands in order to bring down one man. However, when Kamijou Touma meets him, he warns him of the impending destruction of Misawa Cram School. He is probably also responsible for using a barrier to stave off civilians such as Touma from entering the area where the bombardment of Misawa Cram School takes place.

## Chronology

### Deep Blood Arc

*Main article: Deep Blood Arc*

Touma meets Vittorio after he accidentally releases himself from Aureolus memory erasure. Here, along with the other knights, surround the building of Misawa Cram School in order to bombard with the Gregorian Chant.

Despite Touma's pleadings regarding the amount of blood they will spill if they attack, Vittorio goes on with his plans and bombards the school with the Gregorian Chant. The attack is in vain however, as Aureolus' Ars Magna manages to reverse the effects of the bombardment, and injure Vittorio as well.

After the end of the end of the volume, Stiyl states that the only casualty was Parsifal of the knights, meaning that Vittorio is still alive, although his whereabouts remain unknown.

## Abilities

Vittorio is apparently the Lancelot of his unit and seemingly its leader, as they are all named after the members of King Arthur's Knights of the Round Table. Naturally, Vittorio exhibits several abilities displayed by a knight of the Roman Catholic Church.

**Ushi no Koku Mairi** (丑の刻参り, *Ushi no Koku Mairi*?), translated as **Shrine Visiting at the Hour of the Ox**, is a simple Japanese spell that uses a doll to curse a person.

## Principles

According to legend, the user takes a doll to serve as an effigy of the person they want to curse, and for best results, the doll should have a part of the target such as hair. The user must then go to a shrine later at night and nail the doll on a sacred tree there in the Hour of the Ox, between 1-3 A.M.

Using a part of the target on the doll makes this a infection-type of magic. It is a famous curse that even children know about. It could attack a target remotely, but any decent magician would be able to put together a countermeasure as soon as they sensed the signs, making it only effective against those who did not know about magic.

Tsuchimikado Motoharu has a variant of the spell that just uses an eyeball and simple chanting, without the need for the complex rituals and conditions that the regular spell requires.

Tokiwadai Election Arc

The **Tokiwadai Election Arc** is a story arc in the *Toaru Kagaku no Mental Out* manga series. The story focuses on Tokiwadai's Student Council Election.

## Background

### Relics

Around the time of Tokiwadai's student council presidential election in October, Shokuhou Misaki was investigating a **Relic** (『遺産（レリック）』, *Isan (Rerikku)*?), something leaked from a now-defunct laboratory that supposedly had a close connection to someone at Tokiwadai. Although it had started as a simple investigation, Shokuhou ended up taking out a related institute, with individuals connected to the group involved attacking her in the next day. The group in question was represented by two squares (actually two cubes). This group apparently sought the rumored Shadow Metal, said to exist in cubic crystals, and their activity had apparently increased after an incident in the Daihaseisai in September which created a large quantity of it.

Increased movement that day had also been seen with other individuals, connected to Academy City's "previous generation", said to be mysterious and rarely mentioned. This generation also apparently included the previous 1st-ranked Level 5 esper, before Accelerator assumed the position, apparently in a cubic form in the present. There was also a Level 5 who possessed a spatial control ability.

### Tokiwadai's Student Council Election

In October, elections for Tokiwadai Middle School's student council were being held, specifically the **Student Council Presidential Election** (生徒会長選挙, *Seitokaichō Senkyo*?).

The candidates in the current year's election were Gaouin Tsukasa (the current vice-president of the student council), Kamino, Kokuchou Mayui, Iori Mashiro, Inubushi, Kumamori Tazuna, Tatsuki Mirei, and Shokuhou Misaki, who had joined after provocations from Gaouin and the urging of her clique (the largest in Tokiwadai).

### Recent Events

During an incident on the second day of the Daihaseisai, a large quantity of Shadow Metal was produced, with the day marking an increase in activity by the previous generation and the group represented by two squares, the latter seeking the Shadow Metal, said to exist in the form of cubic crystals. In the same incident, Shokuhou Misaki encountered Kouzaku Mitori, both former subjects of Clone Dolly, and after a reunion with their mutual friend Dolly, Kouzaku came to carry out a number of investigations on Shokuhou's behalf.

Not long afterwards, Shokuhou was involved events surrounding the distribution of Indian Poker and Hokaze Junko's meeting with a disembodied girl, legacies of Clone Dolly's third lab Ideal, with another figure from Clone Dolly manipulating events in the background.
Windsor Castle

**Windsor Castle** (ウィンザー城, *Winzā Jō*?) is a stronghold in England in the county of Berkshire outside of London, near the town of Windsor. It is the secondary royal residence of the British Royal Family. It is mostly used for parties, while Buckingham Palace is used for meetings, though is powerful enough to be classified as a stronghold-level defensive barrier that is not less than Index's Walking Church.

## Principles

Windsor Castle is located on the bank of the Thames on the outskirts of London. The overall structure of castle consists of a round tower in a central courtyard with angular stone structures shaped like three sides of a square on either side - together, it forms a large rectangular frame, with no walls surrounding the grounds as a whole. St. George's Chapel exists on one end and the State Apartments for receiving visitors and press conferences are on the other end.

According to Tsuchimikado Motoharu, the strength of Windsor Castle is not less than that of Index's Walking Church, and is strong enough to defend, at least partially, its inhabitants from a Grand Magic like Angel Fall, similar to Southwark Cathedral and Westminster Abbey. The castle also has magic locks that can be placed on doors, one of which is extremely high level and worthy of guarding the royal family. Queen of Honor are also employed in the castle.

Windsor Castle also contains a large room where crests are displayed like Buckingham Palace, though in the castle, it does not hold any magical meaning. The castle also holds an underground large-scale interrogation facility for magicians in its basement.

One of the castle's defensive measures are **mandrakes** which are planted around the grounds. They are carrot-like plants with a split end, a pattern resembling a human face and eyes on their roots. Born from a sinner's bodily fluids and mass-produced in a greenhouse, the mandrakes are used like anti-personnel landmines since the medicinal ingredient couldn't be extracted properly. When triggered, they shoot up out of the ground before emitting a high-pitched scream, the vibrations of which pass from the inner ear and rupture the hearts of living beings within range.

She also references the *Toaru Kagaku no Railgun OVA*.
