Toaru Majutsu no Index Light Novel Volume 09/Chapter 1

Part 1
On England, Archbishop Laura Stuart of the Anglican Church holds an online meeting with the Superintendent of Academy City. The topic is about Oriana Thomson, a powerful magician that can elude being seen with ease, and Lidvia Lorenzetti, a "radical" member of the Roman Catholic Church; both are involved in bringing a powerful artifact called the "Stab Sword", a sword-shaped artifact that is rumored to slay any Saint with ease.

Part 2
Meanwhile, Kamijou Touma finds himself in a roller coaster of events: bringing A Certain High School to victory after finding them with no energy or will, walking in on Fukiyose Seiri looking for his phone, acting as Index's guardian, and being dragged for a Scavenger Hunt event by Misaka Mikoto. And as when things are settling down, he sees Stiyl Magnus and Tsuchimikado Motoharu. Touma has no idea that he will find himself in a Magic Side conflict once again.
