It had been a few days since Touma left the hospital. He was informed by Motoharu that somehow the magicians were defeated, and left Academy City without being brought to heel by Necessarius. He had found out some… interesting things when he went back to school…..

The first day back at a Certain High School…..

It was lunchtime at Touma's high school. He was going to eat with the group he had been eating with, in this case it was Ichiro, Isamu, and Kohaku, along with either Aisa and Seiri; or with his two longtime friends, Motoharu and Pierce. Today, however, he saw some new faces in the cafeteria, and so he sat with them.

"Hello savior… I mean Touma. My sisters and I have been thinking on a concept introduced to us the day you were injured. We were told we should not share information with the network, in an attempt to become what would be called unique. Would this please you?" A Misaka clone with red hair and blonde highlights told him as she walked him over to a table where she was seated.

"Sure, Misaka Imouto" Touma said before he was cut off by the clone. "Please. I would like to go as Kou Misaka from now on. The other Misakas and I are forming our own hobbies, styles, tastes, and looks. By the way, I made an extra bento box for you, Kou… I mean….. I made an extra bento box for you, and I thought we could eat together" Kou stated. "Uh, sure, ok. That sounds fine by me" Touma replied.

They were getting ready to start to eat when suddenly Touma heard a loud shout from across the cafeteria. The exact phrase the person had used to call out to him was "MY PRINCE!" Touma and Kou looked up to see Misaki running their way. A small, but noticeable glare appeared on Kou's face as Misaki approached.

"I am so glad you are better! I bought you a bento box so that we can eat lunch together" Misaki stated. "Oh. Hi Misaki. What are you doing here?" Touma asked her. She was not wearing her Tokiwadai uniform. Instead, she was wearing his high school's uniform.

"Well, I decided that since I was now attending high school, and that since my prince would be able to make new memories of me, why not go to the same high school as him?" Misaki replied.

"That is ok. The savior is busy, as you can see, Misaka states as she prepares to feed the savior some of her homemade bento" Kou stated with an angry look on her face. "Oh? What have we here? You look an AWEFUL lot like Mikoto Misaka. Are you her little sister? Well, it doesn't matter, because Touma will be enjoying MY bento box" Misaki said with a bit of annoyance.

Touma was feeling anxious, as it seemed that these two girls were about to fight for some reason he didn't know. His savior came in the form of a tall, well dressed orange haired friend of his. "Heyya Touma, who are these girls you have here?" Kohaku asked. "Oh, Kohaku, hi. These are my friends Kou Misaka and Misaki Shokuhou" he replied. "A pleasure to meet you two lovely ladies. Why are you two fighting? If it is over sharing lunch with our friend Touma, surely you can both give him your bentos, correct?" The orange haired young man asked them.

"I guess I can agree to that. As long as I am with Touma, I will be happy" Kou Misaka stated in a soft voice.

"You present a good point. I can get behind that idea. Indeed, if my price is with me, I am fine with that" Misaki stated.

"Good. I am glad you ladies can put aside your differences so that everyone can be happy. Also, please do not fight over who's bento box is the best. That would make poor Kamijou very upset that you would be fighting. Besides, he has a friend who tends to eat a lot of his food supply, and I am sure he is hungry enough to eat both bento boxes you lovely ladies brought for him" Kohaku told them.

After Kohaku talked with Misaki and Kou, they agreed to not be competitive over Touma today, for his sake. Touma was able to eat both bento boxes, and enjoyed both thoroughly.

The rest of the day for Touma was calm, relatively speaking. His misfortune was at a minimum. By now, he was questioning why he had un-naturally low amounts of misfortune in the recent month. As he pondered this phenomenon, he ran into someone, for he was not watching where he was going.

He started to push himself off the ground, when he noticed there was a soft, squishy lump on the ground, and a moaning coming from the ground beneath him. He opened his eyes to see a beautiful young woman who was a Misaka clone. This one was not the one from lunchtime, but a different one.

"Oh. The savior is so forceful. I think I like this" the clone stated with a heavy blush. Touma pushed himself off the ground and started apologizing profusely. The person he fell on was already on her feet, and held Touma's hands in hers. "It is quite all right, Touma. As long as it is you, it is ok" The clone of Mikoto Misaka stated. She looked different from the others as well. She was more toned and athletic than most of her counterparts, even the original. Her hair was long and came down to the middle of her back, and was tied back in a ponytail.

"Sorry about that Misaka….." he started before he was interrupted by her. "This Misaka unit would like to be referred to as Koto Misaka. I need to get going to gym class. Call me later, and we will hang out. Here is my number" she stated as she grabbed his phone and put in her number.

Touma continued going about his day, still with few incidents of misfortune. His day actually went pretty well. Kou Misaka put her number in his phone as well, and got him to agree to hang out with her over the weekend. Himegami then got him to agree to hang out with him on Friday after school.

As he was exiting the gates of school, Seiri told him she would like to hang out with him after school sometime next week to study… but not as a date or anything! He agreed they could sometime. She was to get in touch with him sometime next week to do so.

He had walked about a block when Mii called him, wanting to meet up with him to see how he was. She was also interested in seeing if he wanted to join judgement. He told her they could meetup, but he would have to see what he had on his schedule. Something was up, and he felt that his free time would soon become very limited very quickly.

As Touma continued on his way home from school, he got a call. It was Misaki. "Hey Misaki, what's up?" he asked her. "Oh! My prince! I wanted to go on a date with you on this weekend. What are you up to on Sunday?" she asked him. "As far as I know, nothing" he responded. "Great! I will meet you at your dorm at ten o' clock in the morning for our date! Don't worry about cost! It's my treat, since I invited you" she told him. "Ok. See you then" he responded. He really couldn't complain, since she had covered his hospital bills when he was injured with the fight with the magicians.

On his way home, he saw Mikoto Misaka. Instead of going full tsundere, as she normally did, she acted very shy and lady like. Flirtatious even. She told him she was sorry for everything that happened the night she fired her railgun at him in the top-secret science district. She also wanted to make it up to him by taking him out on a date on Monday, as her school had a holiday, and he had a half day that day. She was going to call him during the weekend to setup a place for them to meet up at.

When he got home, Index and Lessar had been fed by Maika next door. Even though Index had only had three servings during her meal with the maid, she still felt full enough when Touma got home and made dinner that she only needed to have two average sized servings to fill her up.

As they were settling in to sleep that night, Index told Touma that the Church gave her some spending money. She told him she wanted to go to an amusement park after buying some casual clothes, and that she would pay for the whole thing. She also insisted that since he always treated her so nicely, he should sleep in the bed with her. They wouldn't do immodest things. It had just been cold lately, and she missed spending time with him (at least that is what she told him). After a brief argument between Index and Lessar, he settled down in the bed for the night.

It was Wednesday, and they were getting their esper powers tested. Motoharu had gone from level zero to level one. Mii had started to increase, and it was predicted she could reach four or five with work. Seiri went up from level two to level three, and Himegami went from level one to level two.

Misaki's standings as a level five increased slightly. It was determined that with a bit of work, she would, most likely, overtake the level four meltdowner, and perhaps even the level three railgun, Mikoto Misaka.

A few of the Misaka clones were measured in the public tests for the first time, and nobody seemed to notice the resemblance. Koto Misaka was registered as a level four electromaster. Her specialty was designated "electro-dancer." This allowed her to over-charge her neural system to become stronger, move faster, increase her reaction time, and overstimulate her senses and neural processing.

Kou Misaka was a level three, and showed potential for level four. She was an electromaster as well (as all the Misaka clones were) who's specialty was called "Static Shield." Unlike Mikoto, who could only use her electromaster powers for intel gathering, or offensively, Kou could use her "static shield" abilities in a defensive manner. Besides the standard electrostatic abilities all Misaka clones possessed, much like the original, Kou could create a wall of high power electrostatic energy, as well as surround up to three people with a high powered defensive sphere of electricity, making it hard for harm to come to them.

Our favorite Railgun still was the third rank number five in academy city. Accelerator was still the number one level five. Not much changed as far as the other level fives.

Kohaku Suzuki was found to be a level three pyrokinetic. Isamu Tanaka was registered as a level four esper with the power of internal transmutation, specified as "ferrous skin." Ichiro Ota was registered as a level three chemosynthesis. Our favorite hero, Touma Kamijou was, of course, a level zero.

Thursday was a day with few unfortunate occurrences at school as well. He went to save a girl from a mob of bullies, and she played along with him, for once. As a thank you, she put her number in his phone, and told him to call her sometime. When he got home, he made dinner for Index. She asked him to spend time with her sometime after he got out of school a few days next week, and he agreed. She also forced him to sleep in his bed alongside her that night.

However, Lessar demanded to be able to sleep with Touma instead. The silver sister and the perverted magician fought for a while before they calmed down and agreed they could BOTH sleep in Touma's bed with him (he wasn't allowed to have a say during this entire discussion, as usual), as long as Lessar kept her hands (and various other regions of her body) to herself.

Meanwhile, Aiho Yomikawa, Touma's P.E. teacher, member of Anti-skill, and guardian of Last Order, Accelerator, and Misaka Worst was thinking to herself. Accelerator needed to stop being anti-social. He needed friends, for his sake. Who knows? Maybe a real romance could develop from interacting with others.

She sat there reflecting on recent events. Misaka clones had appeared in the school, and nobody seemed the wiser. Pair this with the fact that Worst seemed to be behaving much better, and was trying to figure out a REAL name for herself, she decided that the kids she was in charge of would attend A Certain High School where she worked.

Yomikawa pondered Accelerator's current relationships as she drank beer and watched the news. All three kids were in bed at the moment, and tonight was not a girls' night out with her fellow teachers, so she was not going to be interrupted. She knew Accelerator had a troubled past when she let him and Last Order into her home.

Even though he often claimed to hate "the hero" as he called him, she could tell that he admired Touma, and that he was grateful to the young man for stopping him from completing the level six shift project. He also was very protective of Last Order (who had been trying to come up with her own name as of late as well), and had for a very long time been acting like a big brother to Worst. He even had a friend who wasn't supposed to be in Academy City. Estelle was her name, if she recalled correctly. Oh, yes, she knew. She just chose to look the other way, because the lovely young lady cared about the young man that lived under her roof, and she didn't seem to cause any problems in the city.

Yomikawa was no fool when it came to the white haired Esper in her care and the status of the relationships he had with the girls he came into contact with. Accelerator might be blind to it, but she wasn't. Last Order had once had a crush on him, though that seems to have gone away quite a while ago when the micro clone realized he saw her as a little sister or daughter capacity, and not as a love interest. She was thankful that he wasn't a lolicon. That would be awkward.

Worst was another matter. Worst had originally tried to kill him. When she failed that, she eventually settled for annoying him constantly. Over time, the two of them had become friends, yet she still delighted in tormenting him. After a while, it was clear to Aiho that Worst had developed feelings for the esper she was created to kill. The way she teased and picked on him from that point onward was a part of her trying to get him to pay attention to her.

The last girl that she suspected had feelings for him was that Estelle girl. The girl was very beautiful. She had only met her a few times, but she knew more than either the blonde woman or the albino esper seemed to realize. She had looked into the girl, and had tailed Accelerator on a few occasions very carefully (he was a battle-hardened warrior, after all) when she knew they were meeting. From what she could tell, Estelle liked to call him "master" and she didn't mean it in a kinky way either. Their relationship had grown from some weird sort of master/apprentice one to that of mutual friends, and from there Estelle had developed feelings for the boy, though he didn't know it.

The next morning, Accelerator and Worst were awoken early and rudely. "What the fuck was that for, Yomikawa!" Accelerator asked. "Get up, you two! Today I am enrolling you in school! You BOTH need to make some friends! This is not negotiable! Last Order has already gotten ready, and headed to school with Yoshikawa! Worst, pick a name that isn't Worst! I know you have been considering it as of late." You both have one hour to be ready, and then we are heading out!" Aiho barked. Accelerator didn't want to follow her demands, but he DID live with her, and when she went into drill sergeant mode, she was hard to say no to.

Worst decided to choose the name Rin for her first name, and for her last name, took the name Last Order decided to choose: Higa. Yomikawa loaded them into her car, and they headed to A Certain High School. They arrived at the school, and she proceeded to get Rin and Accelerator registered for their first day of classes. This was followed by getting them all the uniforms that students were allowed. Lastly, she had them change before class. She had been able to convince the school to expedite their enrollment process, and they were to begin classes that day. She figured they needed to be in contact with some people they already knew in order to help them transition into their new daytime routine, so she went to talk to a certain colleague of hers about having them in her classroom.

The morning for Touma had a bit of misfortune. First, he found Lessar curled up at his waist, hands caressing a certain part of his body. Then, Index woke up, on his chest. This disturbed Lessar and Touma at the same time. Lessar accidently started "handling" Touma out of instinct (the true marking of a freak by nature). This caused the Imagine Breaker to stand at attention, if you will. At the same time, Index was sitting up, and accidently sat her rear end on right below his waist. While nothing happened, the resulting embarrassment caused Index to go to defcon four and attack her host with ferocity.

Touma fixed breakfast after calming Index down, along with lunch, and put it in the refrigerator for the nun to reheat later. As he was preparing for school, Othinus stepped away from him and Index for a few moments.

"What do you want, stranger?" she asked on the magical communication rune that had been given to her in secret. It had lit up, and she had to step away before either the Library of Grimoires or the human she loved noticed it. "Sorry to contact you on such short notice. The celestial bodies are aligned, and we have everything we need. They came in sooner than we expected, so we can get you back to your size, and give you some of your powers back. Leave the house when he does. Make sure not to get caught by the nun or the slut" the person on the other end told her. "How will I get to you guys? I am only fifteen centimeters tall, you know" the former magic god stated. "We will have someone there to pick you up. They will identify themselves to you" the voice on the other end stated.

That morning, Touma left for school. What he didn't know was that a certain magical god left with him. He also didn't know that someone was making plans for him that would turn his very life upside down.
