A Certain Magical Codex (An Index Story)
Chapter 1: The Electric Shock Prince Part 1
June 14, 2030
A young teenager's voice started humming a certain tune. He was a feminine boy of 14 with dark chestnut hair, and eyes of the same color. The school uniform he wears is the summer variety.
He opens up a can of iced tea before taking a sip while looking over the traffic beneath him as he is leaning one of the bridge's rails.
As he continues drinking, a group of shadows pass over the brick walkway on the bridge.
Two pedestrians on the other side notice this and started getting worried.
"Looks like those guys are bothering him." The girl pointed out.
"Think we should call Judgment and get them down here?" Her male friend one added.
The teenager sighed in annoyance.
"Here we go. Not a dull moment in this place." The boy told himself, taking another sip. "Lovely Academy City."
Meanwhile in another part of the city, a teenager was running through the alleyways.
"Damm, nothing's going right!" He exclaimed, running. "Just who in the world is that?"
"Hold it right there, punk." A girl's voice spoke out, as a shadow cast around the guy, causing him to fall face first to the ground.
The teenager tries standing up, before a hand pushes his head.
"In the name of Judgment." A girl around 13 with auburn hair tied into two curly pigtails and held by red bows, the rest of her hair hangs as two rows of fingers divided in the middle. The teenager wearing a Tokiwadai uniform announced, pulling his arm. "I was right, you're the hoodlum they named in the alert, aren't you? Well looks like today isn't your day."
She gives a grin, pulling out a pair of cuffs.
A couple of seconds later, the guy has his arm cuffed to a pole, trying to struggle out of them. eventually, the teen just gave up.
The girl with auburn pigtails started moving around, with a finger on a bluetooth.
"This is Kuroko Shirai, and I just captured one of the criminals." She answers to the other end. "Uiharu, where are the remaining targets to apprehend?"
In a dark room, a girl with black hair and a flower headband was using a computer with three monitors.
"Take a left at the end of the alley." Uiharu directs her partner. "Then another left 5 meters after that."
"Copy that. On it." Kuroko replies, taking the first left turn. Then when she made the final left turn, she stopped and pulled out her armband.
"Halt in the name of Judgement! We've been alerted to your activities. Come quietly, or I'll be forced to..." But she stopped mid-sentence, becoming shocked at the scene in front of her.
Kuroko was surprised by what she saw in front of him.
"E-eh?" The girl stared dumbfounded at the scene in front of her. "W-W-What happened here!?"
The targets she was pursuing were already subdued, one of them was beaten up while the other two seems to be electrocuted smoke was emanating from their clothes.
Near the exit of the alley was that teenage boy from earlier. The boy with chestnut hair turned towards Kuroko with a frown, before realizing who it was.
"Oh, hey Kuroko." He replies casually.
"O-Onii-sama!?" Kuroko said in bewilderment.
June 15, 2030
Two students were walking down the busy streets of District 7.
"Honestly. How many times do I have to say it before you understand?" Kuroko lectures as she is in front of her senior. "Maintaining the public safety of Academy City is a job for Judgement, not regular citizens. You can't keep doing that sort of thing all on your own."
She continues walking, before she turns around.
"Are you even listening to me? Well, Onii-sama?"
"I can't help it if I get there first, can I?" The boy rhetorically questions. "I'm always done by the time you show up."
"You can't just beat up another student without authorization." She further explains, as a group of security bots passes by them.
"Huh?"
"The city's governing board gets all twitchy when that happens." Kuroko continued.
"In that case, why don't you guys try getting there sooner." The Electromaster told her, as they continued walking into a park. "Academy City isn't living up to its name. they got security posted everywhere and yet they can't even eliminate petty criminals. They can claim to be scientifically advanced all they want, but..."
He then started walking up to a vending machine.
"Onii-sama? Ehhhh..." The pigtail girl was confused, before her eyes widened.
The older boy gave a twirl, before kicking the machine on the side.
"CHASER!"
Kuroko fell backwards, dumbfounded.
Suddenly, a can pops out of the machine. Makoto leaned forward to pick it up. "I don't see how those advances impact our lives?"
"What am I going to do with you?" The Teleporter groans. "Why do you insist on wearing those dowdy shorts instead of the issued pants?"
Hearing that caused her senior to spit out his drink.
"Why were you even looking at the way I dressed?" He lightly blushes. "I wear these because it's easier to-"
His junior covers his mouth, before taking both of them away. The can that he was drinking was thrown in the air, before landing.
Just then, the same security bots showed up. As they investigate the disturbance of public property, Kuroko and Makoto are on a building overlooking the city.
"Now was that really necessary?" The 13-year-old girl questions, as her hair flows in the wind. Makoto was looking away. "You could have gotten into trouble. Oh no, we're going to have to hurry."
"Hmm?" The Level 5 was curious, looking above him to see a airship with a monitor, displaying an important announcement for the day.
"Oh that right. We have our System Scan, huh?"
At Tokiwadai Middle School...
A once former all-girls school, Tokiwadai Middle School is one of the five most prestigious learning institutions in Academy City. 5 years ago, Tokiwadai and other school's from the Garden of Learning had enrollment rates at its all-time low. To prevent the shut-down of the schools. Director Unabara and other School Directors allow the enrollment of male students. As of right now, Tokiwadai is a Co-Ed School that teaches student both the Power Curriculum Program and proper etiquette that is widely known across the world.
Many male and female students were heading inside the prestigious school. They were all getting ready to perform their systems scan.
What's a system scan, you may ask?
It's a regular city-wide testing event in Academy City to determine the power levels of the espers participating in it, and is part of the Power Curriculum Program. Each esper is given a different type of test depending on their power. The test then determines how powerful their ability is, how much control they have over it, and how easily it would grow.
But it also has a dark secret.
A lie to determine who is more important in the governing board's political agendas. Or more specifically, to the chairman, who is one of the co founders of Academy City. These individuals include two of the Level Five's, a Certain Level 0, and so much more.
Each one of the students went to their designated testing sites, in order to determine their current power levels.
Tokiwadai Sports Area
The area was a massive area for P.E. Tokiwadai's sports area have many facilities that accommodate all kinds of sports. But, the area is used for today's System Scan. Only Teleport, Telekinesis, and Elemental type Esper used the Ball Throwing Area.
Suddenly, a weight falls down on top of a target.
"Recording 78 m and 23 cm. Distance from target, 54 cm. Overall rating, Level 4."
Kuroko sighs in disappointment and annoyance when her current status has been announced.
"I feel a little bit off today for some reason." She told herself, depressed. "Maybe my work with Judgement exhausted my..."
But before she can say anything, the sound of someone laughing was heard, and the same person was mocking her.
The person was a second year student, that had a smug look on her face. The most distinguishing feature about her is a prominent forehead which is flanked by two fringes of black hair, which is rather long and kept neatly. She also has an attractive and well endowed figure, with C cup adult breasts. This refined like young lady is Mitsuko Kongou, a recently transfer student from one of the major cities in Japan's countryside, and a Level 4 Esper like Kuroko.
"Making excuses for your poor performance? Don't you think that's a little pathetic?" Mitsuko deduces, opening up her fan. "Even for you, Shirai."
"Shut it, Mitsuko Kongou." Kuroko growled in annoyance.
"At the rate you're going it's pretty obvious that I'll reach Level 5 before you do." Mitsuko declared, with confidence. "Won't that be exciting?"
The Teleporter's right eye twitches at that.
This kind of insult had hurt her pride as an esper, and she's not going to take lightly.
"Hmph. I greatly appreciate it if you'd avoid comparing your abilities with my powers." The auburn haired girl told her rival. "The difference between grasping three dimensional space and 11 dimensional spac-"
But of course the other girl ignored her, saying things like it was annoying that Kuroko was talking down to her and that she will be the Ace of their school.
Then a large explosive with heard, causing all of the girls to jump in fright.
"What was that?!"
Many other students were wondering what happened to cause that loud noise.
The smug young woman started holding her head, trying to sit up.
"Geez, was that some kind of explosion?" Kongou questions.
Kuroko expresses her own cocky smirk as the giant wave of water and the sound of the explosion dies down. Likely as payback against Kongou's own ego.
"Since you entered this term as a second year, there's probably some gaps in your knowledge of the school. A certain student is getting his ability tested at the pool right now, and he's the real Ace of Tokiwadai."
The black haired girl was confused from her words, before another explosion was heard.
"If they didn't use the water in the pool to act as a buffer, they couldn't accurately measure his destructive powers. What do you think, are you ready to face one of those blast head on, huh?" The teleporter suggested, as more explosions were heard. The student that was talking big game swallowed nervously.
Meanwhile, over at the pool, Makoto has just finished his system scan, and his current accuracy and range for his Railgun hasn't changed much.
In other words, his level is still the same.
"Overall rating, Level 5!" The mic announced.
"Hmm." The chestnut haired teen hums to himself, as he looks at the remaining coin in his hand.
Tokiwadai Shower Rooms
After the tests have concluded for the month, all of the students that were out in the field went to their respected Show Room to get themselves freshened up.
Normally, each of the students are separated by their respective genders going to each of the shower rooms. Of course, with Makoto's status as a Level 5, there is an exception.
The pair were inside their separate stalls, watching themselves, as other students were having their turn or are finishing up.
"Huh?" The Level 5 questions washing off the shampoo from his hair. "You mean you heard it from across the school grounds?"
"It was incredibly loud." Kuroko pointed out, turning the dial to shut off the water. Then she begins wrapping herself with a towel. "Girls and boys were nearly jumping out of their skins."
"Good grief, it's so annoying that's the only way to get a accurate reading. Sometimes I think an ability like yours is more convenient than mine." Makoto admits, rolling his eyes.
"Isn't it amazing how the grass is always greener on the other side." The auburn roommate smiles.
"Yeah, yeah. Spat out all of the platitude you want to..."
"Say whatever you want, it doesn't change the fact that you're Tokiwadai's Ace. you can trust out your chest with pride based on that alone."
"The Ace am I?" The short chestnut haired boy grins, liking the name.
"Although." The teleporter started giving a smirk. "I may be wrong."
"Huh?" He was confused about what she said, before feeling something around a particular area below.
The electromaster's cheeks turned red as his roommate was moving her delicate hands up and down his rod.
"Of course the only thing of your body that you can thrust out is this glorious and modest shaft, but... Oh." Kuroko laments, as she started smiling. "It's this very modesty that lays in the heart of your undeniable sensually, Onii-sama. This simple yet elegant temptation is almost too much for one girl to bare."
"Gahhh..." Makoto groans. "Kuroko, if you keep doing that... I'll go insane."
"Just let it all out." She coos seductively in his ear. "You know you want to."
Feeling the breath of her voice on his ear pushed him over the edge, as Makoto couldn't hold himself back any longer.
The Level 5 started shooting ropes of cum out of his cock, having the liquid land on the wall and the floor of the stall.
The Teleporter gasps at the sight of it.
"Oh my." She exclaimed. "You came so much with my hands. I knew we were fated to be together. I'm sure this must be destiny."
"D-Damn you, Kuroko." He groans in pleasure. "If I was a girl, I'd kick your perverted ass with ease."
"Oh don't be like that. I was just bonding with you, Onii-sama." Kuroko told him, swaying her hips.
"Shut up!"
Sakugawa Middle School
The students of Sakugawa Middle School were dismissed early since during System Scans the student of Academy City is given a half-day schedule. As groups of student poured out from Sakugawa's gates.
One girl started walking towards the front gate, on her handheld. It was a girl that was helping out Kuroko the other day. Kazari Uiharu is a small girl that has golden brown eyes and short black hair that is adorned by a flowery headband. She wears the female Sakugawa uniform.
"Let's see."
"Uuuuiiihaaaru!"
Suddenly, her skirt was flipped up in public by a certain care-free classmate of her's, revealing her light pink polka dotted panties.
This caused the hacker to blush and squeal in embarrassment. The culprit responsible was not other than her best friend. Her name is Ruiko Saten. A beautiful girl with long black hair, greenish blue eyes and a high school body. One noticeable feature about her is the haircut on the side of her head, in the form of a blooming flower.
"Ahhhhh, I see you're sporting the light pink polka dots today." She grins mischievously.
Hearing that made the girl with the flower headband to cry out.
"I can't believe you! What do you think you're doing Saten?!" Uiharu flails her arms angrily at her best friend's antics.
"Oh come on, just relax we're classmates aren't we? There's no reason to be so bashful about it." Ruiko tries to reason. "Here, let's try that again. It'll make you feel better."
The embarrassed girl wails again, as her skirt was flipped a second time in just one day.
"Now is that really necessary?"
The two girls heard a voice coming from behind them. They turned around to see someone else they know.
He is a 13-year-old boy of average height and weight. He has shot slightly spiky brown hair and green eyes.
This is Satou Kamijou, a classmate of theirs of the same age. There is also more facts about him, he came to Academy City alongside with his older sister that's a high schooler enrolled in another school. And on top of the fact that he's also Ruiko's boyfriend.
He was adopted at 4 by the Kamijou couple Touya and Shiina 7 years after their supposedly first and only daughter's birth. The Tou in his name is directly taken from the name of their missing daughter, Touka.
He's been sexually active even before his puberty, read a lot of hentai and watched as many kinds of porns since he was 10.
In other words, he's a pervert.
"Satou!" The long haired teen exclaimed, wrapping her arms around him and kissing him. "Hey babe."
"Hey." He said as the couple continues making out.
A little while later, elsewhere, Ruiko and Satou were standing in front of Uiharu as she's sitting down on a bench.
"You're awful, you know that?" The hacker sighs.
"Yeah, sorry. I might have gotten a little too carried away." The beautiful girl sheepishly apologizes before preparing to lift up her own skirt. "Wanna see mine to even the score?"
"No thank you." She declines, looking away in annoyance. "Sometimes I think you're just pure evil."
Just then, Ruiko feels a small chop to the head.
"That was very naughty of you, Rui." He reprimanded his girlfriend, completely annoyed by her behavior. "You're lucky I love you as I wouldn't do anything else."
"Yeah, yeah, I get it. My mistake." Ruiko turns toward her best friend, changing topics. "So anyway, how'd it go?"
"How did what go?"
"Well what do you think, silly? You and my boyfriend had your System Scan."
"Well, mine was a bust. So I'm still a Level 0, like you." Her boyfriend answers. "How about you Uiharu, how did it go for you?"
"Ohh, an absolute disaster. I'm still ranked a Level 1, just like I always been. Way back in grade school." Uiharu replies. "You should've heard our homeroom teacher. 'Are those flowers on your head just for show? Use their blooming power to encourage your own abilities to blossom!' Well you know, something like that."
"Yep, that sounds exactly like Mr. Daigo." The young boy agreed.
"Oh wow, there's so much in that speech I can make fun of it's too easy." Ruiko snorts, sitting down next to Uiharu. "But that aside, try to keep you chin up, kay? Level 1 is a whole lot better than nothing if you ask me. Unlike me and my lover boy's pathetic Level 0. We're officially incompetent."
Hearing that, Uiharu turned away with sadness.
"Now now don't worry about me." The Level 0 princess assures her best friend. "I make sure to enjoy everyday as much as I can. And as long as I do that, it's okay."
This lift the hacker's spirits up.
"That's a good philosophy." She smiles.
"My sister said something similar when she got her level." The boy told everyone. "Tamaki is the biggest Level 0 of the city. And on top of that, she has her 'Lucky Lecher Lure'."
"Lucky Lecher Lure?"
"Basically, making her clothes fall off of her and ruining her lunch. And leaving her into some unspeakable things."
"Oh."
Realizing that she might need some more, the Urban Legend Hunter had an idea.
"Here listen to this, it'll cheer you up." Saten says, putting one of her earbuds into Uiharu's ear so that she can hear the music the former has on.
"It's Hajime Hitotsui!" Uiharu gasps, recognizing the songwriter. "What's this song?"
"You wouldn't have heard it." Ruiko explains. "I downloaded the pre-release early. The album this song is on actually goes on sale today."
"Do you still buy the CD even after downloading it?" The brown haired teen questions, curiously.
"Of course I do. But I like entering to win stuff like this limited release download. Because that is the mark of a true fan. Now come with me so we can buy that CD!"
"I can't go with you, I have a meeting with Kuroko Shirai today!" The hacker shakes her head.
"Shirai?" Ruiko's boyfriend tilted his head.
"Hmm?" The beauty perks up. "That name sounds familiar. Isn't she that girl who's in Judgement with you?"
"My fondest wish is about to come true!" Uiharu fangirls with starry eyes. "Today I'm finally going to meet Makoto Misaka. He is one of only seven Level 5 in all of Academy City. The Ace of Tokiwadai! I think he's amazing!"
"So you're basically sugarcoating the fact that you have a huge crush on him?"
"Now, now. I'm not ready for that kind of relationship yet. I'm more like one of his biggest admirers." She told him, before having the face of a girl completely smitten. "But to tell you the truth, I do believe he's a bit dreamy."
"Really, a Level Five from Tokiwadai Middle School?" Her best friend scoffs. "I bet he's just another arrogant jackass who flaunts his power while looking his nose down at the rest of us."
"No he's not." Uiharu argues.
"People like him are all the same. They treat anyone of the lower levels will contempt. I think they're disgusting." She retorts.
"You don't know that." Satou sighs. "Not everyone are assholes you think they are."
"I do know, in fact." Ruiko argues before mockingly grinning, showing off her cute, little human wolf fangs. "And he'll be worse since he's the Gentleman of Tokiwadai."
Unfortunately, this convinced Uiharu to look up to her idol even more with starstruck eyes.
"The Gentleman of Tokiwadai. I love that!" She fangirls even more. "I get to meet someone who's no simple student, but a gentleman!"
"Oh boy." The young man sweatdrops in embarrassment. "Here we go again."
"You know what I think? You're so starry eyed over meeting a celebrity, that it addled your brains." She points out at the way her best friend is acting.
"I'm excited about meeting him, because I'm sure he is a very nice person and the anticipation hasn't affected my brain at all." Uiharu argues before an idea came to mind. "Hey, I know! Why don't you guys come along?"
"I'll come." The brown haired boy shrugs with a smile. "I don't have anything else to do."
"Ahh, I-I d-don't know about that." Ruiko nervously stutters.
"Oh come on, it'll be so much fun." Uiharu begs her best friend.
"Yeah maybe, but I just don't think that-"
She didn't finish her sentence as Uiharu grabs her arm and drags her away, with Satou not far behind.
"You don't get a chance like this very often." The hacker points out, still pulling her away.
"I said I wasn't sure." Ruiko argues. "Let me think a second! Uiharu!"
"I got a bad feeling about this." The first year sighed to himself. "Just my luck."
Meanwhile inside of a KFC...
"ACHOO!" A high schooler sneezed.
She was a 15-year-old fair-skinned girl with wild raven hair in a folded ponytail and two small fringes. Her blue eyes are as deep as the sea, always drowning others into her abysmal orbs. Her butt is full and plump, and the rest of her body is slender but toned, a result for her misfortune and her own habit of saving people in need. Breast size: F-cup.
"Is something wrong, Tamaki?" Someone next to her says in concern. The speaker was a average looking teenager having the appearance of a 15 year old girl. She wears a white and dark blue sailor uniform and a dark blue skirt. He also has shoulder length light blue hair and has gold piercing earrings. His eyes are also seemingly shut. Breast size: E-cup.
"I'm not sure, Pierce. I just suddenly started sneezing. I think someone's talking about me."
"OH! if someone's talking about you, then possibly someone has the hots from you, girl." The girl declared, as she started smirking. "If we ever meet this stud, can I share him with you?"
"Hey! Get your head out of the gutter, Aizawa! There's no way someone would be talking about me." The girl with black hair argued. "Unless, it's my brother."
She then begins to pick up a chicken tender to eat. Suddenly, without warning or explanation, the breading of the chicken fell off and landed on the table.
"Huh?!" Tamaki exclaimed in shocked, before she started shedding tears of disappointment. "Why does this always happen to me?"
To be continued...
