Amon and Robin are waiting for Inquisitor Koushon, who shows up 20 minutes late. He introduces himself and asks to be his guide. The Inquisitor observes that the air feels heavy.
Sakaki and Michael are working on something as Karasumi tries to sleep. They are researching the inquisitor who is supposed to be coming. Michael can't access the information, meaning this man is definitely important. It appears to be a heresy inquiry.
The Inquisitor asks Amon to stop at the next traffic light. He gets out and observes the ground where a rune (similar to Norse hagall/hagalaz) has been placed.
The inquisitor has come to find a particular man, Shiro Masuda. They work via different principals similar to the Middle Ages. They are trying to determine if this person can be used as a hunter, but the final decision must be made by a human. That's what inquisitors do.
Robin goes to the Inquisitor as he is setting up his equipment. He has expected she would come. He asks her if she remembers the symbol he gave her when she was Inquired by him. Hagaru's 8 fruits - a sacred ceremony connected to the Craft's secret technique, but also a forbidden fruit granting them the power of god... to be able to separate lambs into angels and corrupted angels. There is a flash of the rune (hagall) and Robin responds God's power, Shiva. At the time, Robin didn't seem to understand the significance of the Fruit of Intelligence.
Amon enters, having brought Shiro Masuda. They will start immediately. Two years ago, a horribly crushed corpse was found in Tokyo. The police labeled it an accident and closed the case. The Inquisitor tells him that he knows what that man was crushed by. He responds that he doesn't know. The Inquisitor slides a stone tablet across the table with another rune on it (nauthiz/neid) and calls it the Stone Axe of Hagaru. This is the evil symbol which he, Sefer Jazira, used according to the creation book of Gematria (ie Hebrew numerology) The Inquisitor continues that destruction, annihilation, and revenge where what lurked in his heart and he acted on those desires. He asks further if crushing a human body made him feel good. He answers that was only trying to protect himself and the man was not human. If he didn't kill him, he would have been killed. The Inquisitor calls him a servant of the devil... he demanded god's power and became a servant of the devil by his own will. He commands the man to show his true power. Shiro Masuda begs him not to make him do this. He'll end up killing him. The witch powers up, but is calmed down by the Orbo in large cylindrical containers nearby. He swears he didn't want to kill anyone. The Inquisitor declares the Inquiry over.
Robin and Amon discuss what happened later. Everyone has some amount of evil in their hearts. Masuda showed some intent, the Inquisitor cleared him. Amon explains there is a difference between gray evil and pitch black evil. Robin has a flash back to her younger self in the monastery as she is enduring her Inquiry. Her Inquisitor tells her that overwhelming power will guide people to eternal darkness. That's why they need endurance. When one's power awakens, they must endure any treatment received from others if the person wants to keep living in this world. In the end, that is impossible, though. Robin asks why anyone would want to do go though the motions. He asks her why she does.
They've done some research and found that Shiro Masuda hasn't held a steady job for the last 2 years. It appears that Solomon made that happen because he could potentially become a hunter. They used him as a tool. That night, three people try to mug Masuda. He unleashes his power. Amon and Robin come to the rescue but Masuda kills two of the kids before Robin confronts him. She calls him a fallen angel and then incinerates him. As she does, a tear rolls down her cheek as the Inquisitor stands up in the distance.
The stone monument with the rune was a memoir of a martyr who was betrayed by his followers. Probably a witch. The chief and Amon discuss Robin. Elsewhere, the Inquisitor tells her that she seems like she's finally awoken to the pleasures of the craft. Robin asks him who he is.
