Toaru Majutsu no Index SS: Necessarius Special Admission Test

Main article: Toaru Majutsu no Index SS: Necessarius Special Admission Test

Tsushima takes part in the Necessarius Special Admission Test with the other Amakusas and their subsequent struggle to clear their name after being framed by the magic cabal Dusk Waiting to Awaken.

She first appeared as the Amakusas were preparing for the information meeting, hitting Tatemiya Saiji with her slipper for deviated from the task at hand before reminding the others about the upcoming exam. Later, when the Amakusas assumed their positions for the test, Tsushima was paired with Itsuwa as they split up and set off through the labyrinth. They soon ran into one of the traps in the form of a Corpse Wax gear and fought to defend themselves while trying to figure out the spell's principles. As the Amakusas realized that the transmissions between them and the supervisor Freadia Strikers were being intercepted and replaced, Tsushima fought to prevent the corpse wax's attacks from hitting Itsuwa while she was incapacitated due to the infection magic. After Itsuwa mananged to stop the corpse wax, she and Tsushima went back to the station where the rest of the Amakusas had gathered and discussed what they should do, seeing as the Anglicans would likely be after them due to the actions of the imposters.^[3]

As the Amakusas trying to find a temporary place to hide and plan their next course of actions, Tsushima was annoyed by Isahaya's tastes and what he had filled some of the hiding places with, and had to restrain Itsuwa from going off to burn some of the outfits that the others had stored in an apartment, intending to have her wear them later. Finally chosing a Chinatown food warehouse, they reviewed the Anglican facilities in London and deduced that the imposters were after the grimoires in the city library. The Amakusas then commandeered a tanker truck to get their way through without being bombed, with Tsushima navigating. After arriving at the city library and seeing Freadia falling down the stairs, Tsushima dragged Itsuwa out of the way of an attack by Flack Anchors and was shot in her right palm. They then attempted to figure out the principles behind the attack in order to defeat Flack and his men.^[4]

After Flack had been dealt with, Itsuwa proceeded to heal Tsushima's injured hand with Magic. As she was being healed, Tsushima asked how they were supposed to get after the group who had stolen the Necronomicon without a hint. After Itsuwa asked Tatemiya about their escape routes, Tsushima told her not to be too impressed, mentioning some other, more stupid ideas he had in mind. Later, Tsushima and the other Amakusa came to Itsuwa's rescue through the sewers near the Sword Sanctuary, and she stabbed several needles into Itsuwa's back to remove the collar placed there by Freadia.^[5]

As the Amakusa emerged from the sewers via a drainage ditch, after asking Itsuwa if her wound was OK, Tsushima took part in the discussion concerning Arlands Darkstreet's R'lyeh project and a likely official cover, while pushing Ushibuka up. When Itsuwa considered looking information on the internet, Tsushima thought she intended to do so by phone, which would lead the Anglicans to them. However they obtained the information they needed through a connection via a nearby car's navigation device. Having learnt about the project in the Strait of Dover, Tsushima and the others swam across the Thames and sneaked onto a cargo ship, with Tsushima signaling to the others that everything was clear. As she was wringing the water out of her clothes, she informed Itsuwa that the others were trying to get a reaction out of her with their comments. An unnecessary comment by Kouyagi then prompted her to throw him overboard, after which she continued their discussion about R'lyeh as if nothing happened.^[6]

Once they reached the Dover coast, the Amakusas set out using the wooden ships they carried as charms, with Tsushima riding with Itsuwa. While they were talking, Tsushima sensed that the enemy would soon try something and shortly afterwards pillars of water stabbed up from the sea. When one of the fire ships was knocked towards them, Tsushima used a spell to brake using the waves to avoid a collision. Reminded of torpedoes by the explosions, they realized that they were due to explosives on the seabed to simulate the earthquakes that heralded R'lyeh and that Arlands was entirely focused on R'lyeh, not paying any attention to them. After arriving at the salvage terminal, Itsuwa's realization that the float was being arrange to be like R'lyeh prompted Tsushima to look around and see that the lighting was being used to simulate non-Euclidean geometry. After Itsuwa collapsed due to Cthulhu's mental presence, Tsushima ran over to her side and pulled out some accessories in order to try and reduce the pressure on her mind. She and the other Amakusas then interfered with the artificially created conditions in order force the ceremony to end prematurely.^[6]

When it emerged that the cabal's true goal was at Stonehenge, the Amakusas made their way there in some stolen vehicles, with Tsushima sorted through documents from the float with Itsuwa in the backseat, growing irritated with the complexity of the material and throwing a panel against the headrest. Starting on some chicken drumsticks, she discussed the Blank Paper spell with the others, noting how it would be a problem if it ever got out, seeing as it would destroy the hierarchy of power to keeps the magic side stable.^[7]

After arriving at Stonehenge, Tsushima and the others made their way towards the stone circle while hiding, but when the cabal sent up a signal flare they stood up and ran towards Stonehenge. Tsushima, Tatemiya and Itsuwa targeted Vase, the leader of the cabal's forces, however they noticed he was about to use a trapezohedron to invoke Nyarlathotep. Tsushima attempted to switch to a defensive stance, but she was too late and was knocked out by the lightning.^[7]

Following Freadia's sudden attack on the forces fighting around Stonehenge, Tsushima, the Amakusas and the cabal members were captured by the Anglicans and transported by convoy. However the covey was attacked by Emilie Fordia, a magician hired by the Pound Economy to assassinate Freadia. Seeing that her target was not present after her initial attack, Emilie dragged Tsushima, the Amakusas, Anglicans and cabal members out of the wreckage to use as hostages.^[7]

When Emilie decided to start killing the hostages, she chose Tsushima as the first victim, dragging her out and emphasizing that nothing would conveniently prevent the execution except Freadia giving herself up. She subjected Tsushima to her sword, making her scream and fail around from the pain, before lopping off one of her legs, causing her to lose consciousness. However after Freadia's gambit with the trapezohedron brought Emilie down, Tatemiya took her scabbard, with the corresponding healing stone, and healed Tsushima's wounds.^[8]

Tsushima headed back to London with the others, following the destruction of the Pound Economy's magical foundation, and after arriving, went with Itsuwa to investigate the scene of the public phone call made by Cynthia Exment to Queen Elizard. The two noted how the Anglicans had likely already done so and how they were likely still cautious of them. After arriving and confirming their thoughts, they noted the cameras in the area which would defeat the normal purpose of using a public phone to hide one's identity, as though she was declaring her victory.^[9]

Heading off after Cynthia, they discussed what the queen would do, with Tsushima noting that they would likely use the British Museum and the ley-line connections, otherwise it would take forever to repair the damage. They encountered Cynthia as she lay cornered and defeated by the Anglicans, though that soon changed after she intercepted the data transmission from the British Museum, allowing her to replicate the museum's spiritual item arsenal. When Cynthia attacked Itsuwa, Tsushima attempted to slice the attack to cover for her. She failed but protected Itsuwa from the brunt of the attack with her body. After informing Tatemiya of Tsushima's injuries and learning of Cynthia's objective, Itsuwa left to stop her.^[9] Tsushima was still recovering when the Amakusas received their free passes from Freadia.^[10]

Abilities

Main article: Amakusa-Style Remix of Church#Abilities

Like the rest of the Amakusa Christians, Tsushima is trained in their style of combat and magic, inherited from generations of secrecy, and is effective in working with the others as a team. Like the other Amakusas, Tsushima uses a Western weapon, in her case a rapier. She also has a number of silver accessories, cheap products which could be bought in any sightseeing area, with certain hidden magical meanings which can be used.^[11]

Known Spells

By stabbing her rapier into the deck of a small ship and muttering a short incantation, Tsushima is able to momentarily heighten the waves crashing into the ship, using the waves as makeshift brakes. This spells makes use of certain Christian traditions relating to water and ships, such as the Son of God instantly calming a stormy sea or how an honest man was able to walk on a lake but an evil man drowned when attempting to follow.^[12]
