Author's Note: I've been working on Toaru Majutsu no Musical and Miracle switch when suddenly, I got stuck in the middle and so far, I'm trying to break from my writer's block so while doing that, I decided to proceed to the extra chapters that I promised. Thanks for being patient!

Extra Chapter I: Jump Shot

Synopsis: Academy City decided to have a friendly match with Seirin High School and one of the participating members is none other than Misaka Mikoto. What kind of play will she show? What happens when it becomes a faceoff between a Level Five and a member of the Generation of Miracles?

"A practice game?"

Fukiyose Seiri was blinking as she was talking face-to-face with the principal of her new school in Seirin High. It has been a few days since she had transferred to this school from Academy City and slowly, she has been getting accustomed with how things work in her new environment, especially in the school's basketball club where she had decided to sign up as a manager, which means that the load of Coach Aida Riko is lighter now since she had someone to help her handle the team.

Although currently, she didn't expect that she'll be handling a great responsibility as early as now.

"Yes. Ever since three of our players had become nationally-acclaimed from winning an international event, it feels like everyone has been seeking us for a friendly." Principal Tanaka Chinatsu smiled as she puts down her glasses. "In this case, it's a team from Academy City."

"Eh?" The Forehead Deluxe didn't know how to react.

"I don't know why they chose our school but we can decline if you don't want." Tanaka smiled as she wipes the dust off her glasses. "Although I needed to have a reply in an hour since they'll be coming later in the afternoon."

"That depends…on our captain." Fukiyose remembered that today is Friday and their senpais would only be able to return from their spiritual retreat tomorrow. But with that said, they had a new captain that was newly-appointed so it's not much of a problem if the third years are present. Another thing that they gained is that they were given the whole day of Friday as the day where everyone involved in the club can be excused from the classes to utilize the whole day for practice.

"Well, I'd like to hear a word an hour from now." Tanaka repeated as she puts back her glasses.

"Of course, sensei. I'll just relay the message to the captain."

So off Fukiyose went to the basketball gymnasium where the first years and the second years are currently warming up. The moment she entered, she immediately spotted Kamijou Touma sprinting around the court while Kuroko and Kagami were practicing their shots. The rest of the second years were taking a breather. All the freshmen were practicing their fundamentals on the other side of the court.

"Hey!" She called out to the running spiky haired boy, who abruptly stops to the spot where Fukiyose was standing.

"Yeah?" It was very much obvious that Kamijou is perspiring heavily as his black sleeveless shirt was already drenched in sweat. "What's the problem?"

"The principal says that a team from Academy City is coming here to have a practice match with us." Fukiyose said in a serious manner. "As the captain, I think you're the one who should decide if we would want to play them or not." A frown then appeared from the face of the girl. "Or do you want that I'll be the one who decides."

"Neh, Seiri, you're sounding like I can't make my own decisions." Kamijou sighed as he accepts a white towel from Fukiyose. "Well, I want to hear Kuroko's opinion on this." He then clapped his hands to get the attention of his teammates and at once, they all gathered in semi-circle around him.

"Guys, a team from Academy City would come here to play a friendly against us." Kamijou began to explain briefly. "I just want to see if anyone of you are in a good condition to play. Does anyone of you are against it?"

Immediately, there were murmurs and whisperings with each other. After a while, Kuroko then raised his hand before speaking up. "Kamijou-kun, I think there's nothing wrong to have a practice game if it means assessing the progress of the team. I think this is also a good gauge on how far we can do without the senpais."

"Uhm…I agree with Kuroko. I don't mind a practice game. In fact, I'll look forward to it!" Kagami grinned as he dribbles a ball.

Then it was followed by a simultaneous "We're fine with a practice match" so Kamijou nodded and turned to Fukiyose. "Well, Fukiyose, you heard them. They said they like a practice match. It's no problem for me as well."

Fukiyose only nodded and left the scene as the practice continues for them.

"Okay, this is not what I expected…"

Kamijou Touma can only grimaced as he meets the assembled team from Academy City, which happened to be mentored by none other than his former Physical Education teacher Yomikawa Aiho, who was smiling as she ushered the team inside. It was supposed to be like a normal team until…

"And seriously, what is Misaka-san doing here?" Kamijou raised his eyebrows in curiosity as he spotted Misaka Mikoto from the back of the team carrying a backpack while wearing her Tokiwadai athletic clothes. But as soon as he let out those words, the Railgun felt offended as she clenched her fists. "What did you…"

"Ah, I'm sorry, Misaka-san. I'm just kidding, hehehe." Kamijou was chuckling nervously as he then faces Yomikawa, who shakes hands with him before speaking. "It's nice to speak to you in person again, Kamijou. And it looks like you've become the captain of this team."

"In fact, I don't know why Hyuga-senpai put me into this position…" Kamijou muttered as he returns the shake.

"By the way, if you're confused as to why we have Misaka of Tokiwadai, it's because we're currently experimenting on a mixed-gender type of basketball that we plan to add for this year's Daihaseisai." Yomikawa explained. "I figured that since you and Fukiyose are here, it would be easier to ask your school."

"I kind of figured that out the moment I heard that you'll be coming here." Kamijou replied. "Well…we just made simple arrangements for the game. We won't disappoint you."

Before Yomikawa replied, it was Misaka who spoke for the latter as she said. "Of course, you idiot. We won't disappoint you as well." She said confidently as Kamijou merely looks at her athletic shoes. Well, I hope this game doesn't end in a bad way.

"Don't worry. Our freshmen will give you a good fight." Kamijou smiled as he walked away.

"Alri—wait, freshmen?" Misaka was confused and tried to clarify it, only to notice that the boy had already walked away to rejoin his team. What the hell is he saying?

Only when the game was about to start that the Level Five Railgun finally understood what he meant.

"The heck…" Misaka muttered to herself as she saw that the team they will face off is composed entirely of freshmen led by Asahina and Yagi, who wore blank faces as they line up in the center circle. Kamijou and the rest of the regular starters were in the sidelines as Kuroko will serve as the referee.

She didn't know why but deep inside, Misaka was getting pissed off at what is happening. Is that idiot looking down on us? Then I'll score as I please. I've been practicing for this one so he better not cry.

And so, the jump for the ball started as Yagi taps it first.

However, Misaka suddenly sprang up and as fast as her Railgun, she swatted the ball and seeing the path in front of her free, she decided to go on a fast break. Being alone, she converts an easy layup as raised her fists in victory.

Kamijou, though, was unperturbed as he simply watched the game progress.

It went like this for ten minutes and surprisingly, Misaka and a guy from Nagatenjouki has been scoring a lot for their hastily-assembled team although Seirin is in the lead as Yagi dunks to score for their team. The guys in white shirts are up by ten with a score of 28 – 18. Suddenly, Misaka stunningly drives easily to convert an easy floater.

"Wow, Misaka-san isn't only a Level Five…she's also a good athlete…" A guy from the bench said in awe as Yomikawa clapped.

As the game was ongoing, Fukiyose can't help but comment. "Isn't that Misaka-san from Tokiwadai? She's not only one of the Level Fives but she's also a good player." She said as Misaka once again makes a layup and as she lands on the floor, he looked at Kamijou and gave a smirk that says "See that?" before she moves away.

It was then that Kamijou Touma had finally spoken.

"Hnn. She's a decent player if we remove from consideration her powers but against guys like the Generation of Miracles or those of Kiyoshi-senpai's level, she would get stuffed easily." The spiky haired explained to Fukiyose, who was busy filling the stats of their team. "Besides, her scoring today seemed a bit misleading considering we decided to put the freshmen in."

"What do you mean, captain?" Furihata suddenly asked as he stood beside the spiky haired boy.

"How do I explain this?" Kamijou scratched his head before continuing. "Basically, it might look like she became a good player at such short time but let's take to consideration the basics such as shooting, passing, and, dribbling. While she might have mastered some of the fundamentals which is leading to her good performance, there was one thing I have yet to see from her and that seemed to be the reason why she hesitated a couple of times."

"What do you mean, Touma?" Fukiyose asked as she was astounded with how the boy explained such concept.

"You'll see…"

At that point, Misaka had accidentally slipped the ball from her hands, leading to a turnover. "White ball!" Kuroko whistled as he announced but before they can restart, Kamijou suddenly called out to the tealnette. "Kamijou!"

Kuroko heard his name being called and turned around. "Yes, Kamijou-kun?"

Kamijou then crossed his arms before replying. "Will you hold down Misaka Mikoto for the last ten minutes of the game? Something is up so I decided to let you play."

Kuroko stole a glance at Misaka before nodding. "Yes, I realized it as well. Okay, I'll come inside the game now."

Before the game restarted, Kuroko subbed in for one of the freshmen, which surprised the four others. "Eh? But I though captain said only the first years will be playing." Asahina was confused as he holds the ball.

"What's the problem? First years, don't let them beat our team because you all know what will happen if we lose." Kuroko reminded them gently as he looks at Misaka, who saw this happening and is waiting for the Phantom Sixth Man. "Besides, I needed to teach Misaka-san how real basketball is played."

Both benches cheered as the game was restarted while Asahina was dribbling. Kuroko, just don't let it get to Misaka's head. Kamijou grimaced as the game progresses.

Then in one swoop, it began to change pace.

"Yes!" Asahina scored a bank shot as Misaka tried to block him but the moment she stepped her direction, she suddenly bumped into Kuroko's screen and she ended up falling to her butt. Dusting it off, Misaka then ran to score as her teammate was holding the ball.

"Nine more minutes, we can do this!" Another bench player from Nagatenjouki cheered as the ball was then passed to Misaka but the moment she caught the ball in her hands, she found herself getting sealed by Kuroko, who effectively shut down her lane despite being weaker physically.

Damn, this pressure! Misaka mentally screamed as she then hugged the ball while her back was facing Kuroko. I needed to make a layup but Kuroko's cousin won't let me! Being desperate as their shot clock expires, she was forced to pass the ball outside but the moment she did, it was stolen by Yagi, who passes it to a running Asahina.

Ugh! Misaka felt bad as he runs back to defense and miraculously caught up to Asahina, who was about to shoot the ball. However, this didn't come and instead, the latter passed it to Kuroko, who taps it to a freshmen who makes a perfect three-point shot.

"Yosh!" The Seirin team cheered as Misaka was fuming.

Once they are on offense, Misaka had the ball again but as she tried to get closer, she got stopped by Kuroko as the latter again shut down her path. Dammit! If only I can make a shot from this distance…

She then tried to penetrate but instead, she ended up crashing in front of Kuroko. "Offensive foul!"

Misaka was close to stomping the floor but held back as she realized she was being watched.

"You see…" Kamijou began to explain. "If there is any weakness that can be exposed from her, it's her outside shot. She's been doing nothing but layups or floaters and even tried to dash pass Kuroko. Naturally, she isn't still skilled enough despite being more superior physically."

He then saw Kuroko stole one from Misaka, who tried to run away with the ball.

"Damn, that's why Kuroko has been specifically assigned for steals and pressure defense." Kamijou sighed. "He's not the Phantom Sixth Man for nothing."

"I see. So as a last resort, Misaka-san will have no choice but to pass outside." Fukiyose nodded. "Because her outside shot isn't existent to begin with."

Back in the game, Misaka had the ball as Kuroko faces off with her one more time. The shot clock was already winding down and it's very clear that even if they make this shot, they won't win as Seirin had already controlled the tempo of the game the last nine minutes and Kuroko had effectively stopped her scoring streak, even managing to block her from behind as Misaka goes for a layup.

Misaka panted as she holds for the ball. Then she smirked.

If that's the case, then I'll surprise them with this one.

In a move that stunned Kuroko and his teammates, Misaka entered her shooting form as she goes for a shot-eighteen feet from the ring.

"EH?!" Fukiyose and Kamijou were gaping as if it was their own illusions that got shattered as elegantly, Misaka releases the ball with a perfect arch.

Everyone watched as the ball goes in a perfect semi-circle path before descending down. As if the world had just stopped, everyone's eyes were glued on the ball.

Then suddenly, they were stunned to see the ball continuing the fly.

It was then that they saw that the ball indeed flew overboard instead of landing at least in the ring and it ended up hitting the face of Kagami, who was coming back inside after refilling his water jug. The redhead power forward ended up crashing down to earth.

"…"

"…"

"…"

"…"

"…"

Everyone grew silent over this as Kuroko can only blink at Misaka, whose eyes turned to saucers at what transpired before her face turned to red in embarrassment.

"Uhm…is this game even worth the time?" Fukiyose managed to mutter out.

"Well…I guess it was okay in the first ten minutes but this one…"

On the other side of the team, Yomikawa sighed as everyone from her team was sending death glares to the Tokiwadai ace. I guess she overdid it.

"Thanks for the game!"

Everyone from the team of Academy City had bid their farewell as Misaka can only frown in frustration. Well, that one has to be expected after ruining what was supposed to be a great game for her with ill-advised shot that she took which made even Kamijou laugh.

"Misaka, next time, aim for what you are shooting at." The spiky haired boy gave one final piece of advice.

"Sh-Shut up!" Misaka's face is beet red as she can't face the boy due to the embarrassment of making that jump shot. "Well, we got to go now but hey, I'm still watching over you." She gave one last threat to Kamijou before she rejoins her team in their bus.

As they watch the moving bus disappear from their sight, Kuroko then spoke up. "Well, that was an anticlimactic end for Misaka-san's team. By the way, Kagami-kun, is your nose still hurting?"

"It still hurts although the bleeding stopped." Kagami grumbled at the misfortune of being in the receiving end of Misaka's failed jumper. "But seriously, I don't get why we still had to entertain those guys."

"Well, you also agreed so I agreed to setup a match." Kamijou shrugged.

Fukiyose watched the three boys chat and argue with each other as the sun began to set. Suddenly, Kamijou took her hand and said. "Do you want to come with us? We'll eat some ice cream."

The girl smiled as she didn't mind her hand being taken away. "Idiot. But at least, limit the intake of sweets."

"Yeah, yeah. I'll keep that in mind."
