Kraco & Buff:

Like I said on my previous post... you guys find this out of pace or even out of pace because of one simple fact I already mentioned. This 'final arc' is based on a special novel. The Vento/Fuze Kazakiri/Kihara arc takes place on Novel 13. The current events take place BETWEEN Novel 13 and 14. We won't be seeing Novel 14 animated until a 3rd Season (hopefully). The point of this novel was to see what some characters were doing while things started to 'develop towards a war' plus the introduction of GROUP.

About the 'war'. We haven't been told at this point of the plot (since we are in SS Novel land) 'who' they are fighting. But Academy City had to 'do something' after the 'terrorist' attack they suffered with Vento's visit. 99% of Academy City ignores the existance of magic, but an attack of such scale couldn't really be ignored, hence the 'war'.

I would answer the purpose of GROUP but it would be a spoiler, so I will refrain from mentioning it.


I just hope we get a 3rd Season announcement (or a 12-episode Railgun 2nd Season announcement)
