It was a nice morning on Academy City, at a certain dormitory, a certain boy was getting ready to go to school.

It was weird, but that boy: Kamijou Touma was really happy to go back to school; mostly because since the new school year started there hasn't been any incident involving him, no magicians, no evil espers, no robots, no magic gods, no thugs, no girls on danger, no fairies, just to weeks of "normal life"; even him didn't remember when was the last time that he had a good attendance record.

In moments of weakness He missed those incidents but then remembered the hospital bills,

"Just enjoy some peaceful times, we don't know how much it will last" Touma said to himself while picking up some bedsheets; He looked at the his two roommates, the ex-Magic God, 15 cm tall Othinus who was busy on her own business over a table, and the Anglican nun Index who was devouring her third breakfast.

"yeah it's better this way".

Kamijou Touma slided the door leading to the balcony but at that moment Touma stepped on something soft, upon closer examination, he saw that it was a huge wide-brimmed hat with two eyes on the top.

Touma had a deja vu sensation and looked up to the balcony, there was something being 'aired' there, it was a girl with medium length blond hair, she was wearing a simple purplish-blue dress with a frog print design, her waist rests on the edge of the balcony, her body bent in halves and her limbs hanging down.

The girl's thin fingers twitched.

Her drooped head slowly moved up, and with sleepy eyes she looked at Kamijou Touma, then the girl muttered something.

"I ... I'm hungry"

Touma didn't know how to respond and just stood there.

"Oi, what is happening?" asked Othinus trying to look outside.

After hearing Othinus' voice the little girl started to cry.

"*snif* Please help me *snif* "

"I am Suwako Moriya, pleased to meet you" the girl bowed in front of Touma and Index while devouring a hastily made toast. "I heard that here lives a guy who will always help a girl in trouble, so please help me to reach Sanae"

Touma was dumbfounded by that declaration while Index was not amused

"you got quite a reputation Touma" said Index

"wait, who start that kind of rumors" answered Touma

"that doesn't mattet" interrupted Othinus "girl you are confused we cannot help you, try the police"

"P-Please I must help my sister, she is trapped on a school"

"A girl?"

"Touma,don't think it !"

"That school always say that she is busy and don't allow me to play with her "

"A school is a place where kids will study without external interruptions, the officials won't allow that girl to play with you during school time"

"Really?, but even when they are out of the school that people won't allow me to go near Sanae, and treat me like a bad person. And I don't have anyone else to ask for help in this city"

"you are not an esper?"

"no..."

"well, that's different"

"I just want to see Sanae again I'm worried about her, Kanako told me 'go back to the shrine and don't worry' but I cannot do that"

"Then" said Touma, He don't understand all the details , but he knows that a girl was in problems "we may help you to..."

"HOLD ON!" yelled Othinus "if we are going to help Moriya-san, this is not the time, she needs rest now to recover, and Touma you must go to school, we will meet at that girl school later. Now, Index bring us more food."

"Hey! , you are not my boss"

"Ok, Ok Othinus. Suwako-san, do you know where is that school?"

"Yes, is this one" Suwako then pulled out a piece of paper from her sleeves, it was a brochure of a prestigious school

"wow"

"it's very elegant"

Kamijou Touma meanwhile said nothing, but a pain expression appeared on his face

"Yeah, I know that place"

"really! you can help me"

"It's not going to be that easy, we will meet there in the afternoon, and I need to make a call "

The School Garden, it is an enclosed area composed by 5 elite all-girl schools, a selective place for high class students, the architecture of the buildings, the view from the streets, the shopping places, all projected and aura of high-class and delicate aesthetics. The most famous of the schools was Tokiwada Middle School, still the other four had nothing to be ashamed, one of those was the Academia that Suwako has been trying to reach; it was no surprise that she failed all the time, more surprising was that she was not send to prison.

Kamijou Touma, Othinus, Index and Suwako Moriya were now in an elegant room, white couches with gold trimmed cushions, 18th century tables , candelabrums and European paintings adorned the room, while classical music floated in the air from carefully hidden speakers.

Othiunus and Index were admiring the place, Suwako was playing with her feet and for Touma there was other concern. He like most boys have dreamed to go inside the School Garden and walk on the streets surrounded only by girls, but unlike most boys he has already been in those streets surrounded by only girls, only in less than desirable circumstances; the manhunt that followed the incident still give him shudders., since that day Touma avoided the School Garden, and now was hoping not find someone that may remember that incident.

The four has been waiting in that room for 10 minutes when the door opened.

"You own me a big one"

The one who said that was a middle school girl with short brown hair wearing Tokiwada middle school's uniform, she looked a little flustered when noticed all the people inside the room but keep talking

"Kochiya-san will be here soon."

"Thanks, Mikoto..." said Touma. When Touma learned that he must find someone inside the School Garden, he immediately knew that his normal approach will not work this time, fortunately he knew someone who could help, Misaka Mikoto, she was the #3 of the strongest espers on Academy City, and thanks to the peculiar relationship between both of them contact her was easy, convince her of making the favor was harder and left Touma with the impression that he had a bad reputation with girls.

"well... no, problem" mussed Misaka while sitting beside Touma, annoying two of his companions. "you surely know a lot of interesting people" said Misaka in low voice

"this time not exactly" answered Touma

"if you had time, I want to know more about 'Wind Miracle' "

"Eh?"

"Sorry, being late" Their conversation was interrupted by a girl standing at the door, she looked 16-17 years old, with shapely body and long light green hair adorned with a frog and a snake hair decorations on the left side; she was wearing a school uniform, a white long sleeved blouse, with a blue skirt and collar, and long black stockings.

"Sanae-chan !" said Suwako with starry eyes and tears of joy

"Suwako !" the girl said while running inside the room and hugged Suwako who had jumped out of the couch where she was sitting.

"thanks again" said Touma while looking at Misaka and giving Sanae and Suwako a little of privacity

"so, you don't know them, then why..."

"Suwako-san appeared hurted on my balcony this morning and asked me to help her with her sister, and seems that there are some rumors about me on the streets..."

"... " Misaka stayed quietly for some seconds looking for an answer "*sigh*, You know, some time ago I heard a rumor about a group of transfer students that arrived to high school of the School Garden, and in less than a day defeated their stronger espers using abilities never seen before"

"how is that?"

"I hear the name Sanae Kochiya the 'Wind Miracle' in the rumor; normally I will not care about that kind of rumors, but I watched a video of the Wind Miracle and her power didn't felt like esper powers, they fell more like the ones of the guys you sometimes hangout"

"magic?"

"Thanks for helping Suwako" said Sanae bowing to Touma

"no problem" smiled Touma

"I was worried about her, I haven't seen her in weeks-"

"Sanae-chan lets go back to Gensokyo, this city is horrible" Suwako interrupted grabbing Sanae's hand and pulling her towards the door.

"But, but Kuwako told me to stay her and study to be an esper"

"Kuwako has lost her mind, she is trying to turn the shrine in a city like this"

"but then..."

"nobody is protecting Gensokyo!" yelled Suwako with tears in her eyes

"... well, I miss Gensokyo, and frankly this is not like I remember the school"

"wait, wait, you can not leave Academy City like that" yelled Misaka

"don't worry Misaka-san, it will be just for the weekend, and this city can be really boring some times" anwsered Sanae with a smile

"Cachin" there was the sound of a camera

"Boring? Ha!, this city is a goldmine for journalism! " there was a new girl with the same school uniform than Sanae resting in the door frame, she was tall with short dark hair and big breasts, she was holding a photography camera and smirked at the group. More surprising nobody noticed when she or her companion arrived.

"Sanae-san, Kuwako-sama and Yuyuko-sama told me and you to stay in this city and become stronger " said another girl besides the camera girl, she was just a little taller than Index with short white hair, the same uniform than Sanae and a long sword on her back.

"Aww, c'mon I'm tired of studying" complained Sanae

"Sorry, Sorry, Sanae-san but if I leave you unsupervised I'll lost the exclusive rights for all the gossips on this city, isn't that right Misaka-chan?"

"Shut up!" Misaka answered immediately

"You know them?" asked Touma

"The rumors mentioned two other espers that manage to defeat an entire school, Aya Shameimaru ('Shameless Crow')," the black haired girl just smiled enjoying the attention "and Youmu Konpaku ('Steel Heart')"

"Please don't give me titles that don't reflect my duties"

Touma noticed that Misaka was serious while talking about the new girls, even him fell an uneasiness when they entered the room, and the fact that nor Index nor Othunus have said something during all the incident make him stay on guard.

"I. DON'T. CARE."

Suwako suddenly shouted, her little hand balled into fists and a determined look on her eyes. Sanae looked surprised at the little girl worlds.

"Kuwako is really brilliant and I always liked her ideas, but this time it's a bad idea..."

Suwako closed her eyes

"This time. This time I'm not going to follow her plan!. Me and Sanae are going back to Gensokyo!"
