Amata Kihara (The Researcher).In Russia, Sasha Kruezhev, trying to learn the side effects of her body after the Archangel Gabriel possessed her, is harassed by her superior, Vasilisa. Last Order slips from wet ground and scrapes her knees on the way home with Accelerator, who goes to buy her some bandages. However, he is soon attacked by a group of armed soldiers called the Hound Dogs led by his old mentor, Amata Kihara. Accelerator easily deals with the men, but Amata knows all the tricks to negate his ability and brutally beats him up. When the Hound Dogs attempt to kidnap Last Order, Accelerator manages to muster up enough strength to blow her away to safety, before Index, who wanted to return a tissue package to him, appears on the scene. Meanwhile, Tōma goes looking for Index after she went off but witnesses a group of Anti-Skill officers mysteriously falling unconscious before running into Last Order, who asks for his help. At the same time, a magician from God's Right Seat named Vento of the Front has entered Academy City and contacts Aleister that she has neutralized the Anti-Skill and Judgment forces, killed three of his Board of Directors and is planning to kill him and everyone else in Academy City. Unfazed by her threats, Aleister orders Amata to deploy "Fuse Kazakiri" and capture Last Order to eliminate Vento.
