On December 3, a group of Magic Gods, including one called High Priest, attacked Academy City with the intention of finding their target, Kamijou Touma, whom they want to serve as their "scorer" in exchange for being granted their powers as a Magic God. Touma rejected the offer, causing a dangerous pursuit across the city; in the chase, Misaka Mikoto realizes that she is a burden to him. Ultimately, the High Priest is launched into the sky with a mass driver and later killed by Kihara Noukan using the Anti-Art Attachment.
