First off HAPPY NEW YEAR! Secondly sorry this chapter will be short. Actually I suddenly had a shift in mood and I thought I just have to release a new chapter as one year back exactly at the same date I had released the 1st chapter so I began writing. And actually I have written this all in just 1-2 hours today!

As I had said in the previous chapter of my other fanfiction (A Certain Lovestruck Goddess) I feel I have been left pretty far behind in this fanfic but there is a scenario (it has been in my mind for about an year now) in my head that is so epic that I just have to share it with others. You can say I started writing this to have that scenario written.So I will be somewhat rushing this to keep up with the LN.

Now on to the comments:

Guest: Ummm... sorry you are right It's NT 21 my mistake. As for the familiar lines, you often see them repeated in the novels itself. It the matter of weither it fits with the context or not. I had all that explaining done to Mugino and company to build some background. For the events in future.

BlueJack22: Thanks man!whwsms: I'll do it a bit differently. Mainly I am writing this for a buildup to my main concept that I want to write no matter what.

The crack shipping guy: Soon (Actually isn't there some action going on?).

Majin Othinus: Thanks! Also I have some specific plans regarding that not gonna spoil anything.

linkjames24: I think you will really like it when it gets to the final part.

Without any further delay let's go!

It was the outskirts of London, the area was devoid of people. Even if it was winter, there should have been a few people around. But there were none, the reason was the Crowley's hazards that had attacked England and many other countries of the world.

The area was almost empty except for a few people standing in the open.

But one look at them and anyone would know that they were not normal people. And one needed to stay away from them if they wanted to keep away from trouble.

"The hero sure is taking his sweet time" Accelerator yawned while leaning on a wall.

"Well but he will surely do it" Aliester said

"What makes you so sure?" Mugino asked suspiciously.

"That's just how it is, he has the ability to get entangled in any big incident...or rather the events get centred around him with his presence" Aliester said while putting some vague words.

'What's that supposed to mean? I don't know but somehow... that has such an ominous feeling to it' Mugino pondered.

But she wasn't the only one who thought that, Misaka and the others also had similar thoughts.

"Hmm... Well I can agree on that one. But still this is irritating" Accelerator growled.

"Hey you don't get to say that when you know he is fighting there alone" Misaka said in a stern voice.

"Oh!... Seems like someone has got hots for him" Mugino grinned.

"Hey! I.. It's not like that, I am just..." Misaka stammered.

"I am... what exactly?" Mugino grinned again.

"I would also like an answer short hair" Index demanded.

"Damm that's why I call him teacher!" Hamazura muttered

"You said anything Hamazura?" Takitsubo asked

"No no, nothing" Hamazura frantically waved his hands.

"What am I supposed say to join the conversation..." Kinuhata muttered "Wait!.. Hamazura" She suddenly remembered something

"Yes" He asked

"You said you'd do something about Fremia's housing arrangements. She was with the Rhinoceros Beetle but you said you wanted to be extra sure about her safety" Kinuhata asked

"Ah yes, I have contacted someone" Hamazura replied

"Who have you contacted?" Mugino asked

"Well I asked Kuroyoru to help and she agreed on it" Hamazura informed.

This had happened when he was getting ready to depart.

"Hello Kuroyoru this is Hamazura"

"Oh! Hello you have called after so long. How are you?"

"I am fine. I wanted to talk to you properly but I am sorry, something has come up. I know I am asking you this suddenly but I need a favour"

"Okay..?"

"I have to go off somewhere and so does the others. I need you to take care of Fremia in the meantime"

"Hmm... Okay but what will I get for it?"

"Yeah and...Wait what?"

"I said what will I get for doing that. You are asking for a favour so naturally you have to give me something"

"Ah!... What can I do for you?"

"Hmm let's see. How about I get to order you around for a day?"

"What!?"

"I think it's fair because you are basically forcing me into it. And who knows for how many days. So I should also get to order you around for atleast one day"

"That's... Somehow sounds fair. Haah"

"Okay I look forward to ordering you around. I need to think about some suitable orders"

"Why do I have this grim feeling about it..."

"What!? You asked her!" Kinuhata roared somewhat angrily.

"Hey now come on! She is not that bad. I know you two have a bad past but it's time to put it under the bridge and move on. Right?" Hamazura patted her shoulder and looked at Mugino for support.

"Whatever" Mugino said irritatingly.

"Come on, I know she was targeting Fremia a while back. But that's all a thing of the past, I assure you she is trustworthy" Hamazura spoke to Kinuhata.

"Hmph!" She turned away.

"Seriously what's with that reaction!" Hamazura sighed

Meanwhile Misaka and Index were still at it. Plus it looked like Accelerator's irritation was growing every moment.

"No you answer me first. What's your relationship with him" Misaka demanded.

"He saved me" Index informed

"That much was expected and obvious" Misaka rolled her eyes.

"And so now I live with him" Index added

"Ah!...Wait WHHHAAATTT! Y.. YOU! Live... you mean in the same house... same room...yjuhbkjtfhk" Misaka started muttering incoherently while blushing profusely.

"What? Is this the first time you are hearing something like that? Infact I live with Hamazura in the same apartment" Mugino said while clutching Hamazura's arm.

"Whaa..." Misaka continued to stammer.

Meanwhile Takitsubo was engulfed with a dark aura making Hamazura sweat.

"Aren't you happy Hamazura. You super got two beautiful girls all to yourself" Kinuhata said while she clutched to his other arm.

"Hamazura..." Takitsubo pouted and hugged him from the front.

"Ah! I know you are feeling jealous Takitsubo and I am surprised at myself that I am saying this. But this is a bit too much stimulation for me!" Hamazura yelled

Hamazura was assaulted by varying degrees of softness from the three sides. While this might have been a dream situation for him, but right now it was too much for him to take.

"... Playboy..." Misaka let a single word out while facing him.

"You have got it all wrong!" Hamazura yelled

And it finally snapped! Accelerator's thread of patience finally snapped!

"WHAT THE HELL! Can't you all wait here quietly? If I hear one more useless chatter, there is going to be major trouble for you!" Accelerator roared

"Oh what can we do, there isn't anything else to timepass. What? You irritated because you feeling like third wheel. Well no wonder you are" Mugino mocked

"I dare you to say that one more time and..."

"Oh come on Accelerator you shouldn't feel like that, you are sure to get one. Although I have to admit, with that attitude of yours it is pretty difficult... Wait! I was only joking hehe" Aliester frantically waved 'her' hands as Accelerator's hand started moving towards his choker.

'How can that Hero survive all this nonsense without losing his mind... I guess it's one of his specialties' Accelerator mused while Misaka also made a mental note to confront Touma about what Index had just revealed.

"I think someone is talking about me" Touma said as a chill ran down his spine.

"What are you talking about hmph!" His tiny understander sitting on his shoulder huffed.

"Are you still mad? Atleast tell me why are you angry in the first place so I can correct my mistake" Touma pleaded

"Go figure that out yourself genius" Othinus said

"Haah... Seriously such misfortune" Touma sighed "So I just have to go in the direction of that pillar of light and I'll reach the source right?"

"...Yes... I believe you only need to touch the source once to destroy the barrier" Othinus spoke after sometime.

"But it's so far! And I have to go there on foot!...Or not!" Touma's eyes suddenly brightened when he saw an abandoned bicycle at the side of the road. "I know this is considered as stealing but this is an emergency, I'll attach a note to it when I leave it so that it might reach its owner when all of this is over"

"Seriously you are too good for this world" Othinus stated 'But I like this part of yours'

Touma picked up the bicycle and speeded away in the direction of the light pillar.

5 minutes later...

"Seriously" The boy named Touma Kamijo muttered.

He had reached the source of the light pillar. But there was a small problem.

"You should have expected this place to be heavily guarded. It's natural for it to have these many soldiers" Othinus spoke

It was a secluded place a little bit away from the other main city buildings. Looked like an abandoned military facility. The place was full of British knights. The pillar of light was coming from a building. But in the way were too many soldiers.

"Fighting them head on is a fool's errand. I have to think of something else. Wait what's going on?" As he was speaking there was some movement in the soldiers. Two knights who looked like they were incharge talked to each other and after sometime one of them left with more than half of the soldiers.

"Looks like you got 'lucky' " Othinus said

"What happened?" Touma asked

"From what I see they were sent to guard someone. Maybe someone of the royal family. In situations like this guarding head of the nation is the most important thing" Othinus said

"Still there are more soldiers left than what can be handled. I have no choice but to somehow sneak inside" Touma asked while carefully looking the positioning of the soldiers.

"At times like this you can rely on your goddess" Othinus said proudly.

"What should I do?" Touma asked

"Just follow what I say" Othinus commanded

The place looked like a small military camp a while back. Majority of the soldiers had left but still there were enough soldiers on the guard duty. So Touma needed to do something to further thin out the knights.

BAAM! An explosion rocked the area.

"What was that!?" The knights panicked.

"Sir, there is an explosion nearby and the barrier that we set in that area has also been destroyed" A knight informed the commander.

"Looks like there is an internal threat? Surely Crowley's hazards cannot pass through the barrier? This should be it. Surely?" The Commander panicked. "Knights follow me!"

The situation with the Crowleys had put a lot of pressure on the knights. And there was a lot of doubt as they were facing an unknown enemy. They didn't even know what the enemy was capable of so naturally they didn't know if Crowleys had some way to bypass the barrier.

It was a scary thought but if it was possible then they should do something about it quickly.

In the pressure of the battlefield the soldiers make wrong decision very very often. All the pressure hinders their judgement ability. Many tacticians exploit this weakness in their favour to turn the battle in their favour.

And Touma had a 'Tactical Wizard' always right by his side. As a master of deception she obviously had no difficulty in moving soldiers as she desired by exploiting the weakness.

"Really now I feel like I am constantly becoming more and more closer to being a criminal" Touma groaned as he watched the soldiers leave.

He had exploded a gas cylinder after he had destroyed the barrier which Othinus had pointed out. Then he hurried towards his target.

"It's okay. I'll forgive you" Othinus smiled

"Seriously now..."

The guard was very thin now. So it was easy to slip past them.

"Watch out! Guard to your left, duck" Othinus whispered and Touma narrowly avoided being spotted.

The building was in front of him now. He quietly entered it and headed straight to the source of the pillar.

"Crap there are 2 knights there...if I fight them and the fight drags out the others outside will join them. That could be troublesome" Touma said

"Oh come on you cannot figure this out silly boy. The solution is so easy. Fine then let your goddess do it for you" Othinus said as she hopped off his shoulder.

"What are you doing?"

"I'll distract them, meanwhile you finish the job" She said as if it was pretty obvious.

"Be careful" Touma said

"Who do you think I am?" She said with her usual pride.

The two knights were talkin to each other when they heard a crashing sound.

"Who's they?" One of them shouted.

No response came.

"It can't be one of the hazards can it?" The other one asked with worry.

"Don't be stupid. In any case let's check it out"

Doubt is the most deadly enemy of a soldier in battle. Once a soldier has doubt in his mind not only his true potential in battle will be hindered. But also he is bound to make fatal mistakes. He might even question the purpose for which he is fighting.

Doubt can be used in many ways. It has been used since ancient times to manipulate many people.

In 'Julius Caesar' the famous play of Shakespeare, Brutus killed Caesar because of doubt. Cassius implanted doubt in his mind.

In modern times there are many crimes that are done by circulating a fake rumour.

Human mind is a fickle thing. The right person can fully exploit it.

"Seriously...The classic mouse noise thing? I thought it only works in the movies" Touma was actually quite surprised that it had worked.

This left the rest of the work pretty simple to do.

There was a shattering sound and the pillar of light was destroyed. The barrier flickered like a light bulb and finally died down.

"See told yaa. He'll do it" Aliester stated

"Finally!" Accelerator got up straight and grinned.

"Impressive" Mugino commented. 'How did he destroy that. Wasn't it supposedly to be very powerful? What sort of power does he have'

"For some reason I now get the feeling that this was to be expected everytime he does something that defies my common sense" Misaka sighed

"That's how Touma is. We both know that expecting him to do sensible things is pointless" Index sighed

"Wasn't the last comment too harsh?" Hamazura commented

"You bet it was. You are somewhat the same" Kinuhata elbowed him.

"Well then, now that the barrier is gone. Let's move ahead" Aliester said while moving forward.

And that's it sorry again that it is short. I will try to upload a really big chapter next time. HAPPY NEW YEAR! Again!

This is DEVIL ADITYA signing off...
