You can view the previously revealed official synopsis of A Certain Magical Index Genesis Testament Volume 10 below:
Alice (Another Bible). The girl who was supposed to be dead has resurrected again in an unexpected form.
Witnessing this, Index finds herself in a tight spot. However, she succeeded in letting only Othinus, who was with her, escape and telling Kamijou Touma, who was in the hospital, of the crisis.
After hearing what Othinus had to say, Touma clenched his fist again. “Did you think you would be satisfied with just…that? I’ll save Index… I’m not sure how much I can do to help. I don’t care if I have to punch you in the face. I, the unluckiest one, will ‘save them all’ and give them a happy ending in this ending world!”

A Certain Magical Index originated as a light novel series before expanding into several other media, such as video games and manga adaptations. In fact, entire spinoffs have been birthed from Magical Index, including the significantly more popular A Certain Scientific Railgun.
Regardless, the Magical Index light novel is still ongoing, as it’s in the midst of its third series, Genesis Testament. The three seasons of the anime have adapted the first light novel series, known as the Old Testament. As of now, the second light novel series taking place right after the first, New Testament, has yet to receive an anime adaption.
Check out our ongoing reviews of the light novels.
While countless events and developments occur, A Certain Magical Index primarily follows protagonist Touma Kamijou, a high schooler residing in Academy City, a locale full of Espers. He is a Level 0, those whose Esper abilities are the lowest of the low.
However, Touma is different from the rest of the city since he seemingly has no latent Esper ability at all, instead possessing a mysterious power known as the Imagine Breaker in his right hand, which negates all supernatural phenomena. After meeting a young girl named Index, Touma ends up entangled in various plots involving the Science side and veiled Magic side of the world.
