While Tōma takes Index to a restaurant for a change of location, it becomes the worst day of his life, when they are attacked by a magician named Ōma Yamisaka, who kidnaps Index and runs off. As Tōma tries to find her, running into Mikoto Misaka along the way, Ōma prepares a ceremony that will allow him to access the grimoires inside Index's head in order to find a cure for a curse inflicted on a woman he has fallen in love with. As the ceremony begins, Ōma's body and mind is put through excruciating pain trying to access the grimoires. Thanks to Index discreetly using her new cellphone, Tōma is able to find her and stop the ceremony.

She sends him, along with a group of Catholic battle nuns known as the Agnese Forces, to Japan to search for this grimoire as well as Orsola. In order to get Tōma's assistance, Stiyl pretends to kidnap Index. While Tōma coincidentally runs into Orsola on the way to save Index, the Amakusa Catholics appear and abduct her via a hole in the ground. After determining that the goal of the Amakusas Catholics is to use a special teleport magic to escape with Orsola before midnight, Tōma, Index, Stiyl and the Agnese Forces set up camp at the required location, where Tōma gets into a lot of awkward situations with the group's leader, Agnese Sanctis. Because Kaori was once an Amakusa Catholic, Stiyl knows he may have to fight her if necessary. Meanwhile, the Amakusa Catholics prepare to make their move. | ||||

While escaping from some of the Amakusa Catholics, Tōma manages to find Orsola and gives her a crucifix necklace that Styil gave him earlier. The two are reunited with Stiyl and Index, who are facing against the leader of the Amakusa Catholics, Saiji Tatemiya. Working together, Tōma and Stiyl defeat Saiji and the rest of the Amakusa Catholics are captured by The Agnese Forces. However, the captured Saiji reveals to Tōma and Index that the Amakusa Catholics have never stolen The Book of the Law, as the real reason the Catholic Church wanted Orsola was to kill her to prevent the secrets of the grimoire from being abused. The Amakusa Catholics only got involved as Orsola sought them for protection but ran away as she did not trust them. Troubled by this revelation, Tōma asks Lucia and Angelene, two of the Catholic battle nuns, to see Orsola again but he accidentally angers Lucia, who tries to kill him, Index and Saiji.

Tōma, however, goes by himself to where Orsola is being held and tortured by Agnese, who reveals that her battle nuns deceived Necessarius to assist them. He is later joined by Stiyl, who reveals the crucifix necklace Tōma gave to Orsola means she is under protection of the Church of England, followed by Index and the Amakusa Catholics. While Tōma is put in charge in protecting Orsola, the others fend off the battle nuns, with Index utilizing Sheol Fear, the power to deafen and paralyze some of the battle nuns. However, Lucia brings another force of battle nuns, who willingly stab their ears to protect themselves from Sheol Fear. | ||||

When Orsola mentions her deciphering method, Index reveals her translations would be false, revealing Orsola was never able to really decode the grimoire all along. While the others fend off against the battle nuns, Tōma confronts Agnese, who attacks him with her Lotus Wand. However, Tōma manages to learn its attack patterns and lands a hit on Agnese. As Agnese tries to bluff that Tōma sacrificed his friends as decoys, they arrive with Innocentius, who Stiyl managed to summon thanks to the Amakusa Catholics. With her confidence broken, Agnese is knocked out by Tōma, breaking the battle nuns' morale, before Tōma himself falls unconscious. Waking up in the hospital in Academy City, Tōma is greeted and taken care by Kaori, who thanks him for helping and tells him that Orsola and the Amakusa Catholics are now under the protection of the Church of England. Meanwhile, back in London, Laura reveals to Stiyl that the true reason she got involved with the Orsola incident was to get the Amakusa Catholics under her control and use them as leverage to ensure Kaori's loyalty to Necessarius. | ||||

Thanks to the information provided by Orsola, they learn the Croce di Pietro can only be activated in a large open area where the constellations can be seen at sundown. Tsuchikimado figures out that the Academy City airport located at School District 23 is the perfect area to activate the cross, so he, Tōma and Stiyl head there quickly as sundown is approaching. By the time they have arrived, Lidvia Lorenzetti, the Catholic nun that Oriana is working with, has brought the Croce di Pietro and starts activating its magic while Oriana defends her from the trio, defeating both Tsuchikimado and Stiyl, with Tōma the only one left standing. | ||||

However, Lidvia contacts them and reveals that she and the Croce di Pietro are outside the city and there is nothing they can do to stop her from activating the spell. Luckily, the night parade, which is the festival's fireworks event, has started which blocks out the stars and prevents the cross from activating. As Tōma is checked into the hospital, he is visited by Index, Kuroko and Mikoto, which the latter informs he has lost their bet. Meanwhile, Lidvia escapes by a private jet but is tracked down by Laura via Stiyl's rune cards and has her ejected out of the plane. Despite Laura offering to save her if she surrenders, Lidvia refuses and chooses to fall to her death while protecting the Croce di Pietro.

Meanwhile, as Tōma and Last Order search for Accelerator, they escape from the Hound Dogs chasing after her by hiding in a restaurant where everyone is also unconscious. Accelerator leaves Index in the care of Heaven Canceller, who informs him about Last Order's situation. In an attempt to take out the Hound Dogs hunting him, he lures them into a railway factory and kills them off one by one. As Tōma and Last Order continue to hide, they are confronted by Vento, whose image has caused several people, including Yomikawa and Kazari, to fall unconscious.

Accelerator soon learns that Amata has managed to capture Last Order, though is keeping her alive for some reason. Aleister then uses Testament, with Last Order's authorization, to summon an angel to appear in the city to target those who use magic. As Tōma, Index and Mikoto head towards where the angel is, Index realizes the angel is actually Hyōka. As Mikoto holds off the Hound Dogs, Index explains the nature of Vento's Divine Retribution, which targets anyone who experiences a certain emotion towards her and how Hyōka is not an ordinary angel. Tōma tells her to work with Mikoto to combine their knowledge of magic and science to figure out how to help her. Meanwhile, Accelerator breaks into the Hound Dogs' headquarters and confronts Amata.

Meanwhile, Tōma fights against Vento, who continues to be weakened by Testament, while Hyōka makes snow appear over the city, protecting the unconscious civilians. Vento reveals her hatred towards science because both she and her little brother got into accident at an amusement park ride that was supposedly proven to be the safest, but the hospital only had enough blood to save her alone. Tōma argues against her reasoning for her actions and manages to knock her out. Index appears in the Hound Dogs' headquarters and, thanks to Mikoto's knowledge of science, learns that Last Order is being used as a container to create the angel. She sings a song in order to sever the shackles controlling Last Order, which in turn resonates with Accelerator who awakens as a result and blasts Amata into the sky.

As the city recovers from Vento's attack, Tōma and Tsuchimikado's class have dinner at a sukiyaki restaurant where they later talk about how a war will be coming to Academy City.
