Hey everyone! It's my first time writing a To Aru fanfic, and I decided to start off with a Misaka Imouto one! I'm a new writer on this site so please forgive me for some mistakes and OOCs here and there. Feel free to leave a review or send me a message if you like. Your comments and greatly appreciated! Without further ado, let's get down to the story!
Monday, 0705hrs Japan Standard Time, Academy City.
It was yet another cool and breezy morning in Academy City, and 2.3 million residents (80% of whom are students, which adds up to about 1840000 students) are getting ready for the new day. Traffic picked up as teachers and researchers drove to their respective workplaces, while students hop on board buses or the inter-district monorail in order to get to school on time. A few of them however, simply make their way to school on foot, either because they live nearby or that they wish to avoid being crammed up inside a cabin full of other people.
Meanwhile, a certain hazel-haired girl in Tokiwadai Middle School uniform had just alighted from a city bus at a terminal in District 2. Apart from the black suitcase in her right hand, and a missing white flower hairclip on her fringe, she looked identical to Academy City's 3rd-ranked Level 5. Passers-by would think that the girl is none other than Misaka Mikoto; the Railgun. As she sensed gazes falling on her, Misaka 10032 picked up her walking pace, determined to avoid unnecessary contact with people. Misaka 10032 exited the bus terminal and turned right, and made her way towards an Anti-Skill training facility. 10 minutes later, she arrived at the entrance of the training complex.
"This appears to be the correct venue for today's exercise, confirms MISAKA as she checks her GPS location."
With that, 10032 entered the training complex and checked in at the automated reception using her Network ID. She was joined by a female Anti-Skill instructor who led her to the briefing room, where she met up with Misaka 10039 and 19090. The lights dimmed as the briefing began.
"I guess the three of you know the reason why we're here today?" asked the Anti-Skill instructor.
"That is correct. We are here to take part in Exercise Forge Steel in order to strengthen our combat skills alongside Anti-Skill members, says Misaka 10032 as she answers your question after checking with Misaka 10039 and 19090."
"Good! Each of you will keep the Rules of Engagement and the mission objectives as stated in this envelope," the instructor told the Sisters while handing out black-taped envelopes, marked as "Confidential".
The three Sisters unsealed the envelopes and read the contents, storing every detail into a secure link on the Misaka Network.
