Idea: Using the Japanese Wikipedia article on Academy City (translated through Google translate) as a template for future restructuration of the article on here. Might be a pointless exercise, might be useful, we will see.

I will gradually edit it to make it readable, translating things in better English than Google Translate and standardizing jargon with the terms the fans are familiar with, and I will gradually make it similar to n article you could find on this wiki (with citations, hyperlink, and all) to see what it looks like.

Overview
A huge academic institution that is the main stage of A Certain Magical Index and its series of spin-off works. The founder is the Magician Aleister Crowley.

It controls the Science Side, one of the two major forces in the world. A fully independent educational and research institution located in western Tokyo. It is a community of all educational institutions and research organizations, and is a student town that occupies 80% of the population, and is a science city where cutting-edge science and technology has been researched and operated for decades from the outside. In addition, artificial power development has been put to practical use and is being implemented for all students.

It is also an artery that drives the world's financial economy, and in the event that it is abandoned in the following circumstances, in order to regain the unstable economy with the interests of war, increase production of murder weapons using technology leaked from Academy City in each country is spurred on.

Identity (find better name?)
The identity is that the magician Aleister Crowley once rebuilt the in Sicily, disguised as "science". It is also called the "alternatively-shaped temple" (of Thelema).

For Aleister, it is also "the return of Thelema" and "a way to camouflage Thelema," as well as the former Abbey of Thelema. "He’s gathered a bunch of adolescent boys and girls in one place, he’s spreading unique teachings, and he’s even injecting them with drugs to achieve further knowledge". Toyama Luca(?) described the psychic power as "a paranormal induction method that covers puberty and drug action", and found a similarity with Telema.

The original Abbey of Thelema was destroyed by "only one accident", but was re-established only in order to use Kamijou Touma with Imagine Breaker in Aleister's Plan. By intentionally loosening security and deteriorating security, Kamijou has been provoked into incidents that make him angry. As a solution to the problem, Kamijou, which had only the right fist, was illuminated, resulting in a city full of tragedy and violence in the shadows. Aleister stated in Volume 22 that this founding philosophy resembles the Star of Bethlehem used by Fiamma of the Right in the refinement of the Holy Right.

The setting of the Abbey of Thelema was mentioned in New Testament 17, but at this time it was merely speculation by a third party, and was confirmed by the story of Aleister himself in New Testament 18. In the introduction to the New Testament 21, it is rewritten as follows.

"Its name was Academy City and it was the Abbey of Thelema itself, created by gathering the shards of the dream that had failed in Sicily and repackaging them in the form of science."

Also, the setting itself has elements related to the actual Thelema, appearing in the form of The Book of the Law, Aiwass, and Magick at the time of Volume 7, and the activity period of Aleister in Sicily is also included in this volume.

History
After the death of Aleister as a magician in official history in 1947, he headed to Japan, where he saw the land that was in the process of rebuilding from World War II and rebuilt the capital. It was founded under the cover of the name.

The reason he chose Japan was based on the legend of the real Aleister Crowley, who said, "But I just couldn’t forget the impact of seeing the large Buddha statue on Kamakura land. When I made it so that I died on British land in 1947, there was only one choice for where I would make my comeback. I had already lost interest in Sicily and Paris by then." It was also influenced by the frog-faced doctor who carried a dying Aleister.

The exact history is uncertain, but at least 50 years have passed since Aleister started the creation of the city, and at the time it was working with the United States. During the Cold War, the United States and the Soviet Union failed to develop a psychic power development plan, while the world's only psychic power was successfully commercialized.

Russia declared war in the Third World War in October, but Academy City won. In December, a large heat wave attacked and downed urban functions, taking advantage of this and being occupied by an invasion of Coronzon aiming to seize the Science Side. dared the black-out of the use of the university town whole area, as well as all the partner organizations, the population on the grounds that it does not stand the prospect of infrastructure restoration evacuation is declared, population outflow occurs deserted ghost town turn into. The temporary provisional seal of the Great Demon Colonon was being given in exchange for all the functions of the city temporarily, but the function is unlocked to counter the threat of Mathers with the technology of the city.

Aleister has handed over the full power of the Board Chairman to Accelerator beyond the Abyss just before his "death". After Reverse, Accelerator claims to be the new Chairman.
