Toaru Majutsu no Index Novel Volume 14 Review


With obvious hostilities, Academy City and the Roman Catholic Church prepare themselves for an inevitable clash. Academy City prepare themselves by sending out rockets into the sky in order to make people speculate what their contents are, as they believe the more the possibilities the people can speculate, the more effective it is in holding others in check.[1] Moreover, already prepared for chaos ahead, Academy City already had weapons and tools manufactured, and made it so that they could take control of the aftermath of the chaos, though seemingly they waited for the right chance to make use of it.


For the other side, the Roman Catholic Church was looking for a way to force the Russian Orthodox Church who was at that point still undecided in which side to join, as exemplified by the inconclusive meeting between the Anglican and Russian Churches in St. George's Cathedral. Originally, the Church preferred the other two great churches, Anglican and Russian, to come to their side. However, the Roman Catholic Church came to know that the Anglican Church had a relationship with Academy City, and with all the things that have transpired between the two churches, where they were at odds with each other, there was clear strife between the two, causing Church to give up on them. And though the power balance between Academy City and the Roman Catholic Church was very equal, it is the joining sides that can tip the balance. And so the Roman Catholic Church focused their attention on the Russian Orthodox Church, and prevent them from joining Academy City.


With this, Terra of the Left shortly takes the Document of Constantine in Avignon in Palais des Papes, for its history with the Papacy allow him to circumvent the balance and checks needed to activate the spiritual item.

She contacts her on Touma's phone regarding her number's presence on the phone, to which she states that she was drunk in the City one night and that she met a boy, laughing at the end. Mikoto demands to know what he was doing with her mother while she was drunk. Touma tries to point out that Misuzu remembers and is only feigning ignorance.
