OH no... My waifu is dying, this ship is dying!
Its SINK!
NOOOOO!!! *Insert intense crying*
"Rumors?"
"Listen, looks like one of the Level 5s was defeated!"
"Is it true?"
"You must be kidding. because we're talking 'level 5' you know. they can wipe out the enemy army!"
"Actually, I heard about it..."
"...its the Railgun!"
"But ... who can do something like that?."
"Well, isn't that just a rumor ~"
"Right~"
"Touma, Touma, what are you doing? Hurry up, Im hungry!"
"Ok, Ok. Hold on Index-san"
'Railgun? Isn't that about Mikoto?'
As he sped up his pace to catch up Indexs, he couldn't help but thinking about what he heard just now. Rumors.
They were in Academy City
Population: 2.3 million. 80% of them are students.
Only 7 out of the 2.3 million students participating in the Power Curriculum Program have officially achieved Level 5, the current highest esper level to be accomplished inAcademy city, indicating the immense level of difficulty involved in reaching it. And the third amongs 7 Level 5 strongest esper in this city is... the Railgun, Misaka Mikoto.
Here in Academy City, it was hard to believe that someone would say that someone like the Railgun had been defeated. moreover they said that the one who defeated him was a mysterious person.
It's sound like a city urbans legend.
"Why are you so restless? You look like the one who's going to end up in stupid trouble. You are the one who defeated this Misaka Mikoto, you know!"
Kamijou glanced at his right hand.
Imagine Breaker.
Esper powers ranged from the ones mocked on TV to the ones established with numerical formulas in Academy City. Anything using that kind of supernatural power, even if it were part of God's system, would be negated without question by that supernatural power of his.
Mikoto's power is not an exception.
That day, when he lost his 2000 yen to a certain vending-money-eater-machine. Misaka Mikoto indeed struck a violent amounts of lightning toward him without a mercy.
Hold on.
'Its not about me right?!
Then again... Kamijou lost his memories.
He sighed, his head ache.
The Railgun he meet, is a completely normal middle school girl wearing a gray pleated skirt, a short-sleeved blouse, and a summer sweater. She had been selfish and hot-tempered, she hadn't listened to what he tried to tell her,
and she had started biribiri-ing the instant something happened.
She is very different from her younger twin.
No one would think that she was the Railgun if she willing to stay still and didn't show that terrifying power of her. Yet, Kamijou cant get rid that thought of Mikoto as scary middle school girl, and the facts say she is.
'Well after what she did to her sister, she seems like she deserves it. I mean-'
"Touma, watch out!"
Kamijou gasped when he heard Index's voice, for a moment he was confused. he failed to register the situation before him. A banana peel, innocently lying on the road, Index accidentally drops it, and...
In the next instant, Kamijou Touma met the misfortune of having him self kissing the ground as he tripped and fells straight on the face.
There are rumors flying through Academy City
An insolent rumor about her beloved Onee-sama
The Railgun, Misaka Mikoto lost, and defeated?. Hah! there are limits to imagining things.
But ... it's not impossible ... Onee-sama, Misaka Mikoto, has a kind heart. Thats her greatest strength and weakness ...
Being the third strongest didn't leave Mikoto inviscible. in fact there are two people who are said to be standing above her rank. and there are many ways.
'What do you think Kuroko! it's almost like ...'
Kuroko gritted her teeth at the thought. She buried her face into Onee-sama's Killbear. It smelled like Onee-sama, and the scent consoled her somewhat.
Kuroko hugged Killbear more tightly on the bed.
'Onee-sama… where are you now?'
"Shirai-san. is this really gonna be okay?"
The worried whisper of her friend, Saten Ruiko, pulled her from her musings.
Ruiko is lying on Onee-sama's bed. Envy Kuroko enough, but it was necessary. She's running out of ways to trick the Dorm Supervisor. This time the plan was to make Saten-san pretend to be Onee-sama who is sick.
"It's Okay!"
"I'll take care of the rest. Saten-san just needed to do it according to plan. Okay?"
Kuroko looked very confident. Their plan was just a little crazy. But they had no other choice. Misaka-san had disappeared without a trace. she didn't tell them anything. there wasn't even a single message. And now there are strange rumors in Academy City.
They are worried.
Ruiko happened to be the same height as Misaka-san. Shirai-san would teleport her out as soon as morning came, as usual. Yes as usual, because it's the third night Ruiko pretends to be Misaka-san.
They already know that the Dorm Supervisor might had suspected something. But Misaka-san, whatever the reason, wants to keep her 'business' secret.
They will help Misaka-san to keep her business a secret. Because they believed Misaka-san would return. Safe and sound.
And just as she was thinking through all that, she heard footsteps coming down the hallway outside the door.
Ruiko watched as Kuroko listened for an instant and then jumped up from the bed.
"Okay!. That sounds like the dorm supervisor making her rounds!"
She became a little nervous, but nodded and moved to hide herself in the thick blanket, made sure her black hair didn't reveal their single strand.
Ruiko listened to Dorm Superpisor's worried voice and Kuroko shrewdly explained Misaka-san's condition. The thick blanket muffled their voices but it didn't matter. Ruiko could still hear their voices.
Shirai-san sounded sad and Ruiko knew it was sincere (well the circumstances are different). when they are done. The door was clicked closed, Kuroko gave her a sign to wake up. and she will brought their dinner, hers of course is the porridge for the sick Misaka-san.
Porridge cooked by a classy chef is of course different. Its a fancy porridge.
However, this time it's not porridge. but other luxury food.
Kuroko certainly contributed a part and managed to give her something other than porridge. and Ruiko couldn't help thinking about her friend, Uiharu. That girl must be jealous. Ruiko shook her head and determined to keep it a secret.
"What do you think? saten-san?."
"Understood, just leave it to this rumor collector. Saten Ruiko-Sama!" She huffed. Right, they will help Misaka-san.
Tomorrow they will carry out an investigation.
"Ahn, Railgun is dead?."
"That monster?"
"Who would believe that."
"Mugino, what do you think?"
"Focus.on.your.mission.Frenda."
"Alright!."
"Railgun died?." said a voice suddenly. Its a man's, came from the laptop screen on the round table.
The three people in the room were momentarily stunned.
"Then the third place is empty?" a woman said in a calm voice, merely surprised.
"Fools, of course Meltdowner will automatically become the third out of 7... well, 6 strongest level 5 in this city." the other woman answered in a sharp voice
"Silence."
"Yabou, confirm the information."
"Okay." The voice said.
With that, in nano second numerous windows poping up on screen. each held information about the third rank level 5.
"Railgun, Misaka Mikoto, has not attended its classes for the past few weeks. then from Altair II's data, Railgun was declared missing after her last confrontation with Academy City's strongest, Accelerator."
"Wow this is interesting." the man clapped his hands, completely amazed.
Fighting Accelerator was suicidal. there no doubt that Railgun is as good as dead.
Right now, the adults must be nervous.
That girl, Railgun, is the only level 5 that apparently competent enough to be used as a marketing mascot or demonstrator for Academy City. And she is disappear.
"So what are we going to do?."
"Nothing." the man replied with a smirk.
