Science vs Magic Soccer Match

The Science vs Magic Soccer Match is a special franchise promotion that ran in the November 2014 issue of the Dengeki Bunko Magazine. It consisted of a mock football game preview between a Science Side team and a Magic side team along with team statistics and field formations and an interview with one of the players.

It was part of a series of promotions for the 10th Year Anniversary Celebration of Kamachi Kazuma's debut as an author. The promotion specifically drew attention to the FC Collaboration Projects with Toaru Kagaku no Railgun and the soccer match to be played on November 1, 2014.

Pre-Match Commentary
"When magic and science cross, the kickoff whistle sounds! The opponent is nearly all of the Christian Church team!! Don't begrudge your ability!"

Previously, due to an ultra-long shot by Accelerator from the friendly goal area, the Science-side team had appeared to have snatched the win. However, about a week before, the savior Accelerator was absent from the match without permission. Their last ray of hope rested in the set play by the Powered Suit-equipped Therestina's corner kick!

It is rumored that among the Magic side team's starting members, Othinus will be making her season debut. Before the girl destroys the world, there is a chance to seal victory with a strategy that uses Kamijou's right hand!

"'The Magic-side is close to winning the league championship? ...Such a thing absolutely can't be allowed to happen. I'll destroy that illusion!'"

Earlier, I was in some way or another able to snatch victory but that was truly an unexpected result. Even though I say that I'm 'predisposed to misfortune.' That's why I absolutely can't let my guard down this time. Three star players from 'Gremlin' will be participating as well. That alone is dangerous in itself. It's like preparing for things you don't see in a soccer game. Moreover, 'God's Right Seat'...particularly Vento's Divine Punishment requires special attention. They keep using attacks that are completely unrelated to the ball's position. And then the last thing we have to watch out for is the goalkeeper, Golem Ellis. That guy absorbs even the benches and fences around, seemingly preventing any openings with a body bigger than the goal. ...Just what the heck am I supposed to do? Aah, I get it. I'll work something out with my right hand. Afterwards, that Biri-Biri should surely be able to do it!
