A Certain Magical Index Vol 23 Manga

A certain unlikely hero... Touma Kamijou has the worst luck imaginable... Sure he's a citizen of Academy City, a scientific marvel of the modern world where superhuman abilities are artificially cultivated and commonplace, but when it comes to paranormal talent, Kamijou's been classified a Level Zero-a loser, basically. Oh, he does have one trick up his sleeve (literally), but even that's more trouble than it's worth. When Kamijou encounters a delusional young girl convinced she's a nun and raving about being chased by evil sorcerers, he's eager to send her on her way and get back to failing his studies. Fate, it would seem though, has other ideas, and he suddenly finds himself caught up in a supernatural intrigue with a girl named "Index" at the center! Science and magic collide in this first volume of one of the most popular light novel series ever penned!

It’s a free-for-all on the streets of Academy City as its various shadow organizations take aim at one another! Hamazura and Item hunt down the members of School and the stolen prize they carry. Accelerator and Group rush to try to stop Block’s terrorist plot. And the forces of Member stalk them all! In this battle for the fate of the city, who will come out on top?

Touma Kamijou just can't catch a break. He might live in Academy City, a place full of more super powered students than you can shake a stick at, but his only superpower is his supernatural lack of luck. He wants nothing more than to keep a low profile, but when a girl named Index comes into his life, it gets more complicated and dangerous than ever!

Item’s battle comes to a head as their hideout is raided, and the team reaches its breaking point. Disgusted with Mugino’s disregard for the other members’ lives, Hamazura finds the resolve to stand up to her. Mugino may be a Level Five, one of the strongest espers in Academy City, but she’ll see that even a powerless Level Zero like Hamazura can put up a fight when his back is against the wall!

Touma has been called out by Mikoto to fulfill his punishment, but can anyone call taking pictures together and getting matching cell phone straps "punishment"...? The arrival of Mikoto's "little sisters" makes their "battle" even more fraught!

Violence rages through the streets of Avignon as magic and science clash! Academy City forces are bombarding the city, and Touma has to find the weakness in Terra of the Left’s spell, Light’s Execution, before it’s too late. With all eyes on France, there’s no one watching as the shadow organizations of Academy City rise up, thrusting Accelerator and the rest of Group into a deadly battle royal!

Accelerator’s first mission for the enigmatic organization Group starts. It seems simple—take down the rebellious Level Zero force Skill-Out. Mysterious benefactors, unlikely allies, and the appearance of a new faction make it anything but. The prelude of war is upon Academy City!

Acqua of the Back, saint and member of God’s Right Seat, issues a challenge to the English Puritan Church and Academy City: He’s coming for Touma’s right hand and will crush any who get in his way! Itsuwa is dispatched as a bodyguard, but how will Touma explain this new unexpected houseguest to Index?
