Hello, author here.

I just want to say thank you for reading my story and to increase your reading experience please head to art page in deviantart with the same username "bitbitbit11" I'm posting more illustration related to this story there.

Critique, ideas and comments are much welcomed.

In a dark building with no doors and windows, there was a room filled with black screens mentioning the status of projects that runs within Academy City. The Screens flickered and some of them shows the termination notice of these projects "5 Crawler" and "5 Counter".

The termination of these projects is going to be huge blow. number 5 is synonymous with level 5, which is something considered special in the city, it signifies a level desired by everyone in the city. Level 5 esper is someone who has a capability equal to an entire army task force and more. They are essentially someone with superhuman capability. Any interruption to a project concerning level 5 esper development will guarantee a harsh respond and backlash from the city's board directors.

This thought ran through the head of Aleister Crowley the acting General Superintendent of the city. He already had a main plan, but various factors had to be checked as many things can affect and distort his plan. The loss of 5 Crawler and 5 Counter doesn't affect any of his plans so he will deal with the outcry with his usual manner, which is not giving any damn at all. Aleister gave a slight look at the monitors, looking at the status of the test subjects related two level 5 projects, he gave a slight movement where his feminine lips moved slightly to form a faintest of smile. This smile means that what takes place in the future won't give much problem to his plan, but it will give him something worthy to look at.

In a place like academy city urban legends are something that most people would likely scoff at because the majority of the resident were deeply ingrained in logic. But for those who deeply believed in science, their belief are going to be tested as of lately the appearance of a yokai shook them to the core.

The urban legend goes like this, during night time try to gaze at the high rise buildings of Academy City, you will able to see a collection of bright lights of a dancing flame and if you look closely the shape will resemble the shape of a fox, This means the flames are the one that belongs to a yokai beast, a Kitsune to be exact the fox spirit with trickster tendencies and associated with flames. With some photos circulating more people believed that this phenomena probably belonged to a flame esper using his power for mischief, but some argue flame espers's fire characteristics are different that it doesn't move around as if it danced through the sky.

Truth to be told, It was no supernatural origin but it was an esper. The flames belonged to Hinote Yuu a boy with silky neck length hair who's always wearing a hoodie, His codename is "Full Burner" an ability to manipulate various form of heat energy freely with generating flame as the most basic usage of this ability. He is working as a messenger for the dark underbelly of Academy City and he is flying across the sky every night to do his work which is Delivering high risk items as fast and as secure as possible, his ability makes him a perfect fit to do so.

This night he had a forlorn look on his face, that look of self-reflection was apparent in his eyes, the boy was the sole survivor from the 5 crawler project and that caused some scars deep within.

"Why am I the one who lived?"

"What the others would say right now?"

Other questions similar to those swam inside his head and this job is one way for him to find sense of peace and closure, because he knew by collecting scraps of information he will eventually find the big picture behind the project he was once a part of.

Under the high rise buildings and down deep in the alleyways are the preferred place for the thugs of the city and tonight they find themselves a prey, a lone girl ran through the concrete maze of the backalleys, the twisting paths can lead to a dead which she unfortunately ran into, backed to a corner she tried to use her esper powers, the water pipes at the side of the buildings started to rattle and in a short while those pipes burst to hurl a copious body of water which she was able to hurl.

"Stay back!" She said with an apparent tremble in her voice.

"Oh look at her!" said one of the thugs with a smug tone, "the ojou-chan can splash some water. Oi you guys come up here!"

A number of guys come fort, all of them wears amused look with smug demeanors, It's as if they got the upper hand of the situation, such is the case as they started to use their own esper ability. There are three of them who stepped forth and shortly one of them pointed at the body of water around the girl and snapped his finger, there was a brief silence until the water suddenly dissolves and leaves the girl with no means of fighting back.

"This ability to break down substance to a simpler form is useful at times, that body of water will serves you nothing if I break it down into it's basic components hahahahah." He laughed in joy and continued "Ojou-chan when water broke down into it's basic components there are a lot of oxygen in it… Which is highly explosive, Oi do your thing."

"Easy, this much will do." The second also flicked his finger which produced a spark to ignite the oxygen near her. The flame is in one word "brutal", it licked its surrounding like a beast's claw and the heat is unbearable it made her froze in fear. "I'll control the spread of these flames, Boss you can finish this show now."

With her means of defense stripped, the leader once again entered the stage, his body is massive and the flames surrounding him gave him an even more intimidating look. That girl with no other option left desperately screamed as loud as she can even as tears started to form in her eyes.

"SOMEONE! ANYONE PLEASE HELP!" Her scream ring in the alleyways and upwards to the night sky above her.

A boy dived straight down and create ad divide between the thugs and the girl, she looked at the figure standing before her, he has slim figure, beautiful skin and features akin to a princess from a fairy tale, a pair of orange eyes that glows like the sunset which looks more prominent with his contrasting silky dark hair.

"LOOKY HERE ANOTHER LITTLE OJOU-CHAN, TONIGHT IS FULL OF LUC…"

He didn't even finished his sentence because a projectile made of twisting flame flying towards him and knocked him back.

"I'm not a girl." He replied. "The Beatings I'm about to give is going to prove that further." He said as several vortex of flame started to form around his feet with trailing flames that danced around him like ribbons. The espers within the thug ranks stepped forward with one of them still controlling a sizeable body of flame from earlier, their faces changed as they knew the one standing before them is on another caliber.

"That flame of yours." The boy said in flat voice "I'm taking it." The body of flame started to dance and twirl similar to his flames and suddenly it flew towards him but in the process those flames melt away some metal pipe in its path further showing a change of nature.

It was not a show of force, it was a preparation for war because the melted metals tarted to form into several molten metal spears which being held in midair with the flames, without muttering a single word the spear launched like a cannon deep within the ground just before the thugs.

"What the hell that supposed to be?! Warning shots?! You're looking down on us aren't you."

Suddenly the ground under them shakes violently as if that bolt explodes beneath them, as they still trying to figure out what happened they heard a voice speeding closer to them, "It's for distraction." He said as He jets towards the leader.

"Screw You!" the Leader said and as he finished his sentence a glowing hot spear levitated right in front of him and several more in front of the other espers. His glowing eyes pierced into the leader's eyes and his vortex of flames still twirls around him, showing that this is just a small portion of what he can do. Leader quietly accepted his defeat and said "Just get this over with." With that remark the boy sends controlled missiles of flame to every thug present which later explodes in concussive bursts to knock them out.

He turned around to face the girl that screamed for help earlier, her brown hair looks incredibly fluffy and it stopped just before her shoulders and she has aqua blue eyes that looked really beautiful. That boy had his eyes widened, but he quickly collected his thought and took out his phone to call the antiskill because he saw the girl is still shaking rather heavily.

Even after antiskill came the boy continued to stay at her side even giving explanation about what happened, he gave a fake testimony where he said it was a gang fight between those thugs, the girl tried to spoke up but stopped after she saw the boy quietly put his finger before his lips, the girl nods and comply because it is the least that she can do to help him.

Now it is her turn to give her recollection of the event, she gave a similar story with the boy and she finally told her name to the officers questioning her. "It's Wannai Kinuho officer." She said. After antiskill made their report they asked the girl if she wants a ride back to her dorm which she accepted and as she left she saw the boy already disappeared, only a small black wallet left which she picked up because she has a feeling that black wallet most likely belongs to that boy from earlier.

The next morning, in a Certain High school that very same boy walked into his classroom, his class was placed exactly beside a certain boy with spiky hair's class, so whatever happened there will reach his class in rapid pace.

His class is rather quite and peaceful, except for him he constantly ran into problems with his teacher because of two particular things. First he is always sleepy because of his job as a night messenger which caused his lack of sleep. Second he is always wearing a hoodie which actually relates to his ability, his body has adapted to his heat generation ability so while turning his ability off he is very prone to cold. Going to his social life he doesn't fair much better, there's a gap in his social skill because he is used to live in a militaristic environment subordination was expected and voicing his opinion was not encouraged, this resulting in him giving off distant air around him and combined with his androgynous looks his class agreed that he is unquestionably the flower of the class much to his dismay. That boy was only afraid to spoke his mind aloud and felt awkward in social interaction.

During lunch hour he walked to cafetaria only to realized that his wallet was missing, his face twisted in panic when he remembered the last time it happened his wallet was left in the middle of beaten thug that tried to attack him, it ended with a visit from antiskill to his school and add the fact that his homeroom teacher is also a member of antiskill he got lectured… hard… extra hard.

"I'm dead." Yuu laments his fate and walked off to the rooftop to get some fresh air before the inevitable happen.

Good amount of time passed until the door to rooftop was kicked open, the culprit was a certain blonde from the class next to his. "Heya Yuu-kun! What are you doing here all alone?"

"Counting the time before Yomikawa dragged me into my grave, I lost my wallet again tsuchimikado and probably lost it in another fight." He said and ending it with a sigh.

"I didn't find anything in antiskill's evidence room last night, you should be safe even I look out for one of my comrades you know." That casual remark held weight, Yuu knew Motoharu is a capable operative with a set of skills worthy of a Central Intelligence spy, but the revelation of this information gave him a sigh of relief which immediately shot down by his next remark "She'll lecture you again because of your hoodie and I'm pretty sure she's still upset because of your fight from few weeks ago."

"Shut up…" He replied sadly in defeat.

"Took the liberty to buy an extra bread, Want one? Just accept this as a peace offering?" Motoharu smirked.

"Fine" Yuu sighed and accepted the bread and ate it as he looked into the sky, he still couldn't believe the school delinquent is actually someone who saved him months ago when he was about to be eliminated to cover the existence of 5 Crawler project and now he is working with him to gather more information about the city's darkside by utilizing his messenger job as a front for their operation.

Meanwhile in Tokiwadai Middle High school, Kinuho held a melancholic look on her face while looking outside her class window into the vast sky above. She held that look all day, a look of worry and confusion that said "what is the right thing to do?". Her friends tried to talk to her but she dismissed it as something that she had to answer for herself.

She thought about it through the day even after her swimming club activities. Even as she left back to the dorms her friend maaya asked her about what's bothering her all day, she still can't give her an answer. They walked in front of a diner where they met with Mikoto Misaka and saten Ruiko, their friends Shirai Kuroko and Uiharu Kazari was off with their judgement duties. Upon this event Kinuho politely asked Maaya to go back first as she has some personal questions to ask Mikoto and Ruiko.

"Misaka-san." Kinuho called her, as she stand at the side of the table.

"Oh, Hello Wannai-san" Mikoto replied with a slightly puzzled look "how can I help you?"

"Actually" Kinuho tried to say something but couldn't find the words as blush started to appear on her face, Ruiko who got the gist of it turned to her and said "Why don't you take a seat first Wannai-san."

"Ah, excuse me then." Kinuho sat down but it shows that she had something up on her mind, she fidgets her thumbs and sighs once in a while. The two girls sat across her noticed this and Ruiko ever the sharp one asked her bluntly. "So, Wannai-san who is the boy that got you so hung up?"

"Hueeeh?!... What do you mean Saten-san?" Kinuho replied while blushing heavily.

"Come on isn't it obvious? It is written all over your face." Saten Grinned at her reaction she reminded her to Mikoto with her cute reactions, she thought when it comes to love her friends gave the best response and reaction. Excluding Kuroko though even her style of affection is too much for her.

Kinuho turned silent, she was looking for someone to talk about this predicament of hers. She knew the girls back at her school doesn't have much experience with boys of similar age some of them even admitted that their interaction with boys was limited to their father and brothers only, so she felt relief when she met at Ruiko and Mikoto, she believed they have the answers she was looking for. Kinuho bend her body forward and Ruiko along with Mikoto instinctively Follows her, "please listen to my story…" Kinuho said before she told them about what happened last night. Ruiko upon hearing her story squeals in happiness upon the encounter between Kinuho and the urban legend known as the kitsune while Mikoto paused to process her story because it reminded her of a certain spiky haired boy.

"I-I am going to drop this to Antiskill. I mean I only found his ID and Wallet, I can't just show up to his school and return it to him." Kinuho said with uncertainty still present in her voice.

"NO YOU CAN'T" Ruiko cried and stood up to look Kinuho right in the eyes. "I mean, he tried to hide his powers as much as possible right, I think you should just give it back to him" her voice tinted slightly with melancholy, "and it would help you to get to know him right?" Ruiko ended her sentence in a cheerful tone.

"I got to agree with Saten-san here, Wannai-san I'm sure he would like it more if you returned it directly to him, I mean he trusted you to keep silent right?" Mikoto added as she contemplates on her own feelings.

"Would he fine with that?" She returned their remark.

"I bet he would love it, he is still a guy after all." Ruiko said in a teasing tone.

"Saten you can't say it like that." Mikoto turned red at her friend's remark.

The Three of them continued to discuss on the subject as Kinuho still shy and scared to walk to a coed high school alone, but in the end she decides to deliver the Wallet herself. She picked herself up gave a polite bow and walk her way to a Certain High school.

After she arrived, she is peeking from the school gate, she is still inexperienced in dealing with boys especially the ones older than her. she asked around to the ones who is walking out from the school until a boy with blonde hair shouted "Wow there's someone here looking for Kami-yan again!".

Kinuho doesn't get what he was talking about and his looks doesn't help him even one bit, but she thought that this boy can help her to find the one she was looking for, she sheepishly walking to him and taking out the student ID that she had found "E-excuse me do you know the student in this ID, I want to return it to him."

"Ooooooo… It's not Kami-yan then…" the blonde replied, he slightly smirked upon looking at the name on the card. "If it isn't Yuu-kun… heheh… I'm sorry to say this, but he got held up in detention."

"E-eh! why?!" Kinuho replied with an abundance of worry.

"Probably because he lost his student ID, he got an earful becau…" the blonde didn't able to finish his sentence because the girl had run inside.

"Would you look at that… You owe me one, silky haired bastard" the blonde muttered while smirking.

Kinuho ran inside, she didn't give much thought to the looks she gets while running to the teacher's room, she only had one thing on her mind, "I have to help him in any way possible." She stopped herself in front of the teacher's room to collect herself first in order to present herself more properly with an elegance befitting a high class lady.

"Excuse me, is Hinote Yuu present in this room?" Kinuho said while opened the teachers room door, only to find Yuu in the middle of an earful lecture from a teacher. She had a determined look in her face, which made all the faces including yuu looking at her cocked an eyebrow and a look that collectively said "why is a high class girl from school garden come here?"

"Right here." He replied only to immediately flicked on the forehead by his teacher, a long haired PE teacher wearing a green tracksuit.

"Eyes on me jan. So, do you want to explain how did you lost your ID again? Last time you lost it Antiskill found it in an alley between a pile of beaten rough looking guys… with scorch marks all over them, I remind you jan." She continued to lecture him until the sound footsteps got closer to them, it was the girl with fluffy short brown hair and blue eyes.

"I'm sorry to interrupt, but I'm here to return his ID" she said shyly, Yomikawa the PE teacher in response looked at her with an awe look, turning back to Yuu and back again at her. It took her a short while before a smile shined on her face "I guess it's like that jan."

"what's that sensei?" Yuu asked, he realized the smile at his teacher's face has turned into a smirk. "Sensei, this is not what you think it is okay… I can explain…"

"There is no need Hinote, the presence of this young lady over here already explained it all for me, It's must be nice for you to play the white knight for her, isn't it?"

"Nope, I'm not going to entertain any thoughts and imagination that you have…"

"Scenario A, a group of rough looking guys is chasing her then you showed up to rescue her in a princess carry. Scenario B, she is lost and alone and then you showed up holding out your hand in a shower of light. Scenario C, you're walkin…"

The teacher was cut off by a gawked response from the male student standing in front of her, a mix of embarrassment and tint of irritation shown on his face.

"He-Hey! Sensei cut it out! How can you say that in front of her!" the boy didn't realize that he had dug his own grave, that one reply shows that her line of thought was going in the right direction but she decided to not to chase it further.

"Okay then" Yomikawa said with a slight pause before she continues her sentence "Hinote you're off the hook this time, but in return you have to thank this young lady over here. I thought you were going around starting fights, but I guess I was wrong jan."

"Uh huh… I'm taking my leave then sensei, thank you for today." He said to his teacher, then he turned to the girl at his side and said "Ah, thank you for your help. If you don't mind can we find somewhere else to talk." He said while signing to Kinuho with his hand to follow him into the hallway heading to the school gates.

"It's Wannai…"

"Eh? What's that?"

"My name, It's wannai. Wannai kinuho, please call me by that name"

"Wannai-san then. I want to introduce myself, but I guess you have already read my info from my card." For a moment he stopped to let out a few small laughs, "Heh-he... Call me Hinote then Wannai-san"

"Yes, Hinote-san" Wannai nods slightly.

The appearance of a girl from a prestigious high school spreads fast even without the help of a certain gossiping blonde boy, by the time Kinuho and Yuu reached the grounds before the school exit a small crowd of curious people had formed, they want to know who's the one that caught the attention of a high class girl.

There's some yells and cries from the boys can be heard

"Who's the lucky bastard, it's not that spiky haired dude again right?"

"I chanted death to the Kamijou bloodline so much, I didn't count the possibility of it to mutate to another person."

"You idiot, if there's a way to caught that mutation I want it too."

"No, what if what actually happened was he blackmailed her to pick him up after school!"

"What an asshole, death to the bastard!"

"Strike him down if that actually happened, forget it just pummel him outright!"

A number of girls also gathered with different reasons from the boys, they want to make sure that the boy in question is not Kamijou. A little bit of detail for Kamijou, eventhough he has "normal" looks it's widely acknowledged that he is popular with the opposite gender, there was a speculation that every 1 out of 3 girls in sector 7 in one way or another had been saved by him and thus earning either affection or admiration from them. So the girls that gathered basically want to confirm if there was another high level rival especially because she had come from a prestigious Tokiwadai Middle School.

"Who is the girl? More importantly who is the boy, It's not kamijou-san, is it?"

"I don't know but from what I heard the girl who came is really cute."

"there's an update! The boy in question is not Kamijou-san."

"Who is it then?"

"Eh… It's Hinote yuu from the class next door?"

"Isn't he that boy who always wears hoodie in class, even in the PE class?"

"That one, yes…"

"Ohho, now the question changed… how did get entangled with an ojou-sama"

"What did happene…"

She was cut off, because from the school's building entrance two figures emerged. A Girl with fluffly looking hair and a boy with silky hair, the two of them talked with each other and the girl had an obvious happy and pleased look, which was noticed by the crowd but Yuu never think much of it he only thought of it as her having a nice conversation.

It didn't take long for him to realize the eyes that watched them with burning intent, The glare from the group of guys felt like a laser beam that burn holes straight through him, it only got more intense when Kinuho fidgets around shyly because she realized the lots of looks that stared at her.

"What the heck…" Yuu muttered when an unexpected shout breaks the moment.

"RUN FOR YOUR LIFE YOU SILKY HAIRED BASTARD, THE BOYS PUT A DEATH SENTENCE ON YOU!"

Motoharu is all too familiar with this situation and knew these boys can and will out for his blood if they knew what really happened. They can't stand the idea of another philandering bastard walking among them. the crowd of girls also moved fast to confirm the story and shares it to an online forum. Even in a place like Academy City which anchored deep in logic, the rumors of an urban legend can gain popularity quickly but gossips and love stories among students also skyrockets quite easily. A real life Romeo and Juliet story of an ordinary boy meets a modern day princess surely has a charm to it, basically it attracts attention like hotcakes.

Taking his friends advice to heart the boy ran and Kinuho promptly follows. It took a few moments before what happened settled in with the crowd, because what happened was interpreted drastically different between the guys and girls who were watching. For the guys, this confirmed that Hinote Yuu has shown similar traits as Kamijou and his Kami-disease, thus they took an early measure to detain and eliminate him. The girls saw it as a modern love story between a commoner and a high class noble. If only they knew how wrong they were.

They found their way into a park with an infamous vending machine that likes to eat large sums of money, Yuu didn't care at all because what he need is a quite place where he and Kinuho can talk without anyone looking. Still tired after their sprint for life Yuu and Kinuho took a seat at the park bench.

"haah… I'm sorry for that… My school… That place is a mess."

"huff… huff… It's fine I don't mind it, is my presence there caused problem for you?"

"Heck no!" Kinuho's statement caused him to jolt and sit upright, he took a deep breath and said"I'm not bothered by rumors and gossips, heck they labeled me as a slacker anyway. But you, I don't you to be dragged down with me." He paused for a moment "especially when you already helped me with my dire situation." He muttered something else but it was unreadable through kinuho's eyes, it didn't matter much though as she was more focused on his eyes that softened more and more.

"This is getting way too sappy… I'm sorry… Wannai-san" he paused to wait for her response "hello~ earth to wannai, can you hear me."

Kinuho breaks away from her daze and replied "A-AH! It's okay, I'm fine." It's clear that she was still collecting her train of thoughts.

"I guess the saying that School Garden ojou-samas are awkward with boys are true then" Yuu teased while wearing a thin smile on his face.

"I'm not… erm, uh… I guess you are right Hinote-san" Kinuho replied and sigh in defeat then he hung her head low. "I am trying to talk and experience more… Interactions with boys around my age so I won't be afraid in the future"

"I'm going to guess, this is the reason why you were chased around by those thugs last night?" Yuu looked up slightly and trying to get a read on her expression. "Listen, if you fine with it, lemme walk you back home… Those thugs are the spiteful types when it comes to girls, I don't want to see you ran into problem with them again."

"Weh… Hueeeh…" Kinuho only replied in shy and embarrassed noises. "Wait, I'm not ready for this."

"You're looking for an experience, aren't you?"

"Yes, but…" Her voice almost sounds like a whisper.

"I'll make sure that you went back safe and sound, I'll put some distance if you're not comfortable"

"No, it would be rude of me to do that" Kinuho replied, she took a moment to collect herself and elaborate further "It would be best that we go now, I don't want to break the curfew again."

After that positive sign from Kinuho, Yuu returned her remark with another smile while saying "It's a deal then."

The two of them reached the front doors of her dorm, a repeat of what happened earlier at a Certain High school plays again with the sounds of mutterings and whispers can be heard around them, the windows around the dorm are dark, but Yuu swears he can feel someone is watching through them. All of that disappeared in an instant as a series of footstep can be heard through the door. A woman with business suit and glasses appeared, it was the dorm manager with a thick commanding aura around her, Yuu felt the intimidation started to get to him when she starts to speak.

"Wannai how brave of you to go back home accompanied by a man, an older one than you in fact." She slightly adjusts her gaze to look at Yuu. With that simple look scanned him from head to toe as if to see if he was on par with the standards of a gentlemen and to complete her assessment she asked few questions to him. "So, how would you want to explain yourself young man?"

"I am walking her home ma'am, she was kind enough to give my wallet and student ID back, walking her back home and ensure her safety is the least that I can do." Yuu adjusted his way of talking to sound more polite, he turned a look at Kinuho and back at the dorm manager "Please don't be so hard on her, it was me who insisted to walk her back home."

"A… Ah… Please don't be mad at him dorm manager, he didn't do anything wrong." Kinuho tried to cover for Yuu.

Her dorm manager looked at the two and kept silent for a moment, Yuu and Kinuho were puzzled by her reactions. Yuu can't use his ability to run away because it will attract too many eyes and it will make problems for Kinuho, so he only waited for dorm manager's respond. "You, Young man what is your name?" the dorm manager asked sternly.

"Hinote yuu." He replied immediately.

"Write Your name in this book" she handed a small book with "guest list" labeled on it, Yuu took the book in a polite manner and wrote his information on it as the dorm manager spoke "based on her reaction I can tell that you are not someone that brought bad influence on her" she spoke loud enough for Kinuho to listen. "But remember this young man, you break heart or make her cry and you'll be personally punished by me. Is that clear?" She said the last part quietly but loud enough for Yuu to hear. In response he said something with slight fear in his voice "Crystal ma'am."

"Wannai-san, I'm taking my leave now" Yuu waved and turned around leaving the dorm grounds while muttered something deep in his heart "that dorm manager is the final boss for sure, I hope there aren't any situations where I had to fight someone of that stature."

Kinuho smiled and waiting to look at his back as he disappeared into the distance, as she turned her back to go into her room, she was surprised by her roommate standing in front of her. Awatsuki Maaya is staring back at her with beaming eyes that said "You are going to tell everything about that boy." In response Kinuho softly smile and nods, she knew what her friend wants and planned on give it to her.

"Took you long enough, you had your fun?" Motoharu said in a mocking tone as Yuu opened the door to his dark dorm room. Yuu tried to look for the blonde delinquent, he looked around in a frantic way because he knows the true capabilities of the backstabbing blade in a real combat situation. Cold sweat started to break in the prolonged silence until Yuu felt a familiar sensation of a blade pressed against the skin of his neck and his back.

"If you make that girl cry, these two will go through your heart and neck."

"Isn't this an overkill measure?" Yuu asked.

"Not if it's against someone close to your caliber." The Blonde replied.

"Your ballistic knife has the same penetration power as a battle rifle, asshole." Yuu clapped back with irritation present in his voice.

"Good point, I'll drop that cute girl issue for now and if this makes your mood better, I got the papers you're so desperately looking Yu… no, Full burner" Yuu's eyes widened at the mention of his codename, Motoharu gave a slight smirk at his change of mood and continued "Alright then, these are the files you are looking for, it's a royal pain in the butt since railgun and mental out erased many of the files and memories of the ones involved."

"Those two are involved? How did the projects affect those two though?"

"Don't know, don't care, I have prepared some countermeasure if we ran into them." Motoharu said in a cold tone.

"Railgun is close with your buddy you know, you sure want to create a combat plan against her?" Yuu said as he moved to pop a can of sweet milk coffee.

"More reason for me to do so, btw catch this!" Motoharu threw a thick file of information in an effort to change the conversation topic.

"Such a wuss, can't you give me a straight answ…" Yuu stopped his train of thought as he peeled through the pages, "You gotta be shitting me." He kept on reading and shout "come on this is bullshit."

"Keep reading, you'll win the awards for best reaction." Motoharu gave his sass.

Yuu practically flying through the pages burning the information in those files deep within him, his expression changed into a visible disgust and anger as more information being revealed to him. He gave a pause to calm himself before he spoke with slight anger still present in his voice.

"5 Crawler is an attempt to create a steady system of combat ready level 5 soldiers through program induction directly into the subject's brain to create a bio computer with high accuracy and efficiency. Improved further with live combat situation to improve efficiency and lessen trauma in actual battle situation. Yeah that's me alright." Yuu said before he continued.

"5 counter is an attempt to dispose those level 5s in case they went berserk. Using the testament engine to stimulate realistic combat situations directly to the brain and nerves, in theory it would forcefully made the subject to learn how to fight through countless simulated deathly combat scenario and added direct nerve link creates muscle memory through the trauma experienced! What is th…" Yuu's voice was being interrupted by Motoharu who spoke in cold voice.

"The City's board directors have many backgrounds, the ones behind your project are deeply engraved in military and weapons research, they have no qualms with the forced recruitment and usage of child soldiers. in short, Academy city's way of using children as test subjects fits them like a glove." Motoharu gives Yuu a short time to completely soak in what he just said before he continues with his sentence. "it's inhumane of them to pit you against other kids with the same predicament just to give you battle experience and made you familiar with eliminating other espers, you don't have any control over yourselves back then, it's not your fault… and I made sure there are no assets left to be used to restart the project."

"In the end, you're a decent guy" Yuu finally found his voice. "But, how about the other one? is 5 counter project still around?"

"No, that monstrosity is no more, but the assets is still around and the subject to that project was never found."

"There's a possibility that very same test subject is roaming the streets like me?"

"Most likely."

"Last question, if that person went through all that won't his mind already been fractured beyond repair?"

"There is a possibility the subject would act purely based on his battle instinct and seek the ones who involved in the project as a priority target."

"These crumbs of information you gave me, it leads me to my next gig huh?" Yuu finally realized where Motoharu was going with this.

"Bingo." The blonde said with cheerful tone while sliding a picture of a researcher, "that's the one who most likely have a bullseye painted in her back. Pack up hotshot."

"This is the target? Really?" Yuu raised his eyebrow as he looked at the photo then puts it back down. "This will be Tricky as hell." He said as he stood and started to prep his gears.

The name of the person who is in the picture was:

"Nunotaba Shinobu"

Behind the alleyways of Academy City's collection of building, a growing pile of down and beaten thugs, their bodies twisted in a gruesome way as if their arm and legs were wringed in a mashing machine. Cries and sobs echo the alley in a sickening orchestra. In the thick of it stands a boy with a wild looking eyes and hair, his grin looks sadistic which never broke even when he started to speak, "I told you guys I just want to borrow that sick jacket of yours, now look what happened." His voice sounds rough

"Just take it man… take it." One of the thugs able to speak between his cries.

"Now, now… That's a good boy." He replied with a slight grin.

He walked to take the jacket from the biggest thug, the jacket clearly bigger than boy's frame, but he looked satisfied nonetheless.

"Calm down, my poor little heart let's be patient for our big day." He said as he clenched a photo of Nunotaba Shinobu as a sickly grin appeared on his face.

Accelerator: Never thought that you actually do some other shit on the side.

Motoharu: You never asked.

Accelerator: I don't give damn anyway.

Motoharu: what a tsundere.

Accelerator: Fuck you! where is the new kid anyway?

Motoharu: He is in the next room, watching the adventure from the main series.

Mikoto: There is someone new in the room? Anyone know who he is?

Accelerator: We are watching his story right now third rate.

Mikoto: Don't mind If I do. What happened so far?

Motoharu: Wannai-san from your school obviously has a crush on him.

Mikoto: What?!

Kuroko: Onee-sama what happened?

Mikoto: Wannai-san has a crush on someone!

Kuroko: HEH?! What?!

Motoharu: Judging from your reaction Railgun, this is going to be good.

Accelerator: Sappy as Fuck, but let's see where this is going.
