"It is reported that the Windowless Building, a landmark in District 7 of Academy City, has suffered an unknown terror attack."
"The building was completely destroyed."
"Luckily, there were no casualties. This is truly lucky among the many misfortunes. Next, we go to our reporter on the scene."
Several screens around Academy City showed reports about the landmark in District 7 disappearing for no reason.
Many students began to talk about it.
"Wow, that is so scary. I can't believe there was a terror attack."
"I think it was that giant monster bird from last night."
"What monster bird?"
"You don't know? There are many videos of it on the internet."
"It's a good thing it happened at night. Otherwise, who knows how many people would have died."
At a certain hospital.
The frog-faced doctor, Heaven Canceller, was checking the rooms.
He looked at the empty private room with its window wide open and sighed.
"It looks like this patient cannot stay still," he said while rubbing his head.
"It is a miracle he survived those fatal injuries. Why can't he just stay quiet and rest?"
Somewhere else, a certain person sneezed loudly.
He was covered in bandages and looked like a mummy.
He held a medical crutch and walked alone on the street.
He ignored the strange and even scared looks from the people around him.
It was not a surprise that people were shocked.
Anyone would be surprised to see a patient with a missing right arm and left leg walking down the street.
He was also wearing hospital clothes.
Many people had already started calling Judgment.
Tsukasa reached a park.
He tossed the crutch aside and sat down.
He looked at his only remaining left arm and spoke to himself.
"That power is way too strong. So that is the strongest power of the Old Testament."
"This unknown energy even suppressed my cursed energy. I couldn't even use my Reverse Cursed Technique to heal."
"Well, I should be almost adapted to it by now."
As he spoke, Tsukasa looked up.
A strange wheel, which normal people could not see, floated above his head.
It was Mahoraga's wheel.
It was trying to adapt to the unknown energy inside his body.
After spending about a night, Mahoraga's analysis was almost finished.
"But it wasn't for nothing," Tsukasa thought.
He looked at the interface that appeared in front of him and smiled.

He finally understood how crazy the Infinite Transcendence talent was.
In a fight for his life, his stats went up like a rocket.
There were no limits. He just kept getting stronger.
He felt that if he did this a few more times, he could cut a planet in half with one finger.
But he decided not to mess with that foul-mouthed angel again.
That guy definitely held back.
Otherwise, Tsukasa would have been turned into dust.
Luckily, that angel liked to have a bit of fun.
The angel let him stay as a wildcard on Aleister's game board.
If the angel hadn't, even if Tsukasa didn't die, he would have ended up with a big debt.
Starting the system's backup defense would cost a lot.
He really didn't want to try that unless it was the only way.
"Um, excuse me, sir. Do you need me to call an ambulance?"
A shy girl's voice suddenly came from his side.
Tsukasa looked up instinctively.
He saw two girls.
One had short black hair and light brown eyes.
She had thick eyebrows, but the flowers in her hair were her most obvious feature.
She was small and wore a school uniform with a red scarf.
The other girl wore the familiar uniform of Tokiwadai Middle School.
Her hair was tied in twin tails with ribbons.
They were the other two members of the Railgun group, the Judgment duo.
The girl with the flowers was Uiharu Kazari, known as the "Thermal Death."
The girl with the twin tails was Kuroko Shirai, often called the "Railgun's Mount."
"No, I don't need one," Tsukasa said.
He waved his hand to tell them to leave him alone.
"I am just resting here. Don't worry about me."
Right now, he only wanted to wait for Mahoraga to finish the analysis.
Then he would use Reverse Cursed Technique to heal and check the free house Aleister gave him.
"But sir, I think it would be better to go to the hospital in your condition," Uiharu Kazari said.
She looked very worried.
To an outsider, Tsukasa looked like he was about to die.
If he stayed outside, he might actually die on the street.
As a member of Judgment, her job was to get him to the hospital safely.
"Please cooperate with us, sir," Kuroko Shirai said.
Her unique voice made Tsukasa look at her a few more times.
Kuroko's voice was very easy to recognize.
"What is with that rude look?" Kuroko asked.
She noticed Tsukasa's eyes and frowned, glaring at him.
"No, it's nothing," Tsukasa said.
He ignored her glare and noticed Mahoraga's wheel turn.
It took almost 12 hours, but the analysis was finally done.
As the wheel turned, the effect of the unknown energy on Tsukasa was gone.
Tsukasa stood up.
The bandages on his body snapped and broke.
Bones began to grow back where his limbs were missing.
Then, muscle grew out right before the girls' eyes.
The two girls watched with their mouths open in shock.
Tsukasa used his Reverse Cursed Technique and finished regrowing his limbs.
He moved his new right arm and stepped on the ground with his left foot.
He started to stretch his body.
His bones made loud cracking sounds.
Tsukasa stretched and spoke to the two girls whose jaws were almost on the floor.
"See? I told you I was fine."
"..."
There was a long silence.
The two girls looked at each other and smiled weakly.
"Is your esper power limb regeneration?" one asked.
"No," Tsukasa said.
"My ability is called Reverse Cursed Technique."
"I can use it on myself, and I can also heal others."
"If your arms or legs get cut off, as long as you are alive, I can heal you."
"..."
Kuroko Shirai's face went dark.
She felt like this guy was puting a curse on her.
