Volume 8, Afterword

To the studious readers who read all the volumes one by one, it's been a while.

To the readers who bought all the books at one go, nice to meet you.

I'm Kamachi Kazuma.

It's the 8th volume. The theme this time is very simple—superpowers. This time, I actually made some changes to the story: Kamijou Touma would originally be the only one to appear in this story. Hearing this, you might be wondering about some things. However, please don't read too much into it. Besides, 'that role' can't be explained in a few words.

In this volume, some unresolved from Volume 3 and 5 were mentioned. On first glance, this is completely unrelated to magic, but the antagonist, Musujime Awaki, has questions that I feel involve several factors related to magic.

Why do Misaka Mikoto and the Misaka Imoutos have such a difference in power? Other than humans, is there really nothing that can observe and analyze the surroundings to create superpowers? Basically, what's the significance of observing and analyzing the phenomenon? Considering the storyline and protagonist viewpoint, I couldn't answer these questions in this volume, so I can only wait for another opportunity.

Haimura-san, who is in charge of illustrations, and Miki-san, who's in charge of printing. I'll like to thank both of you. Thanks to you two, this book can be on the shelves of bookstores.

I'll also like to thank the readers who bought these books. Thanks to you, this book is able to make it's way onto your bookshelves.

I'm grateful that this book is still in a corner of your mind.

And I hope that the next volume won't be forgotten as well.

At this moment, let me sign off first.

...Misaka Mikoto. I thought that she would have more opportunities to appear in this volume.
