Now this was an idea that came to me when I was reading 'A Certain Genderbent Story' by StoriedMagi, It was a 'what if' Touma was female, but I thought that, that alone wasn't enough for a story, so I added the other idea, what if Touma was a Saint? That's where this story started, but it quickly blew out of proportion, I have a vague idea of where it is going and all I can say is… OP Touma to Eleven is the future.

I'm also making this Touma very aware of the Darkside of Academy City, but unable to interfere unless certain conditions are met. It is also one of my rare 'Past Tense' stories, for those interested.

It will follow the Light Novel Canon somewhat closely until around Volume 14, where the changes will grow so vast that it only pays lip-service to the Canon story.

This story is also to get me back into the rhythm of Toaru Majutsu no Index for GUARDIAN Reborn. For those reading this and waiting on the Rewrite of 'Banshee of Hogwarts' it is going well and a chapter should be out in the next fortnight, my new job makes me so tired that when I get back to my tiny room, all I want to do is lie down and sleep.

Prologue

Calamitas 000

The One who Bears the Misfortune of Mankind

SCIENTIFIC_SAINT_CALAMITAS

Academy City

In 2047 a great city located on what used to be the western wards of Tokyo was founded, following the Midnight War that left dozens of nations weakened and halved the population of Humanity, soon thousands flocked to the new city, a paradise where Scientific progress was paramount.

It didn't take long for the city's fame to grow, especially when the research conducted there revealed something special.

Espers.

Humans with abilities that could only be called supernatural, they manipulated reality with just a thought and performed impossible seeming actions.

Eventually these Espers were ranked on their abilities and power, the ranks became known as Levels.

Originally there were four levels and they were: Level 0, Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3.

Then the breakthrough to Level 4 happened and following that Level 5.

Each Level was magnitudes more powerful then the previous level, to the point where the difference between a Level 5 and a Level 1 was similar to that between a Human and an Angel, that is to say.

Vast.

But the growth of Science had an effect on the world, in order to maintain balance Magic began to flow stronger and stronger and old and forgotten Magics and Grimoires were returning.

However the will of Earth, Gaea, was not foolish, she knew that the possibility of war between Science and Magic was high, so she created another Saint, one that would stand on the Science Side and protect them from the power of the Magical Side.

Saints were the epitome of Magic, beings of incredible power and skill, blessed by their Gods and Goddesses. This one however was different, born to an ordinary family with no knowledge of Magic this young girl may never have reached her potential, but the God of the Bible, sensing Gaea's gambit, decided to help. He gave the girl the greatest blessing he had, a power that should only belong to a divine being.

Imagine Breaker.

The ultimate ability to cancel out all powers, no matter the source. While it couldn't kill a God or Outer Being, it could render them weak and helpless.

The young girl entrusted with this ability was named ironically after a flower thought to have no scent, her name was Kamijou Tsubaki.

A name that could be translated as 'The One Above God, Camellia' a powerful position with a scentless flower, this contradiction was the same as Tsubaki herself. By wielding the Imagine Breaker she should have no supernatural abilities, but she is also a Saint.

There in lay the ultimate contradiction.

The being capable of destroying all supernatural power, also being the being capable of wielding the strongest of Magics.

Such a being should not exist.

However this power came with a price, her luck was abysmal and if she was angry or sad enough it could effect others.

After several attacks and an attempt on her life her parents, wanting her to be safe, sent her to Academy City.

Upon her entry into the Famous City, the Superintendent of the city, Aleister Crowley, immediately took note of her, easily noticing that there was something strange about her. Using his power he secretly set it up so that she would read a magical spell designed to create a small fireball in her left hand, however instead of forming a fireball, Tsubaki instead formed an inferno. From that moment on Tsubaki's powers were kept secret from the rest of the city and especially the Magical Side.

She was the Saint of Academy City, a secret protector with the unfortunate task of shouldering the misfortunes of mankind.

As such she named herself with magic,

Calamitas 000

The One who Bears the Misfortune of Mankind

Tsubaki was in a way, the only true Saint. Without even thinking about it she shouldered the misfortunes of those around her.

Over the years Tsubaki watched the going ons of Academy City from the shadows, seen as a powerless Level 0 that was not allowed to go through the Testament nor any of the Esper curriculum. Tsubaki kept a careful watch out for the Magical side, while dodging thugs and a persistent Railgun coming after her.

That leads us to the current time, a new chapter in the history of Academy City is opening and Kamijou Tsubaki is the catalyst for everything that followed the opening act.

That's the end of the prologue, the next chapter will cover the first chapter of Volume One of the Light Novels.

Anyone who has ideas for the story, requests or any random questions, feel free to ask. I will answer as much as possible without revealing spoilers.

Also Kamijou Tsubaki is a Bisexual, so the pairing will be interesting indeed.
