Chapter 13 – The Electro Upper Arc (Prologue)

Peter was walking through the streets of Academy City. It was night and he was doing something dangerous, but not for him. Spider-Man do things hell more dangerous. Moreover, he wasn't actually waking. He was rather jumping from building to building and using his webs to swing his way through the district.

The darkness of the night hid him from the eyes of anyone that could be walking in the street. However, he had chosen to use a black jacket and dark blue trousers. He wasn't wearing his Judgment armband. Why? The mission of that day was unofficial and only Peter and knew about it. What was this mission about? Infiltrating in a Skill-Out area where various crimes were carry out.

"Nothing until now" Peter muttered as he landed on a fifth floors abandoned building. This area was the poorest he had seen since his arrival to Academy City. It reminded him a bit to the rough parts of the Bronx, which he started to visit after becoming a superhero because he grew up in a peaceful neighborhood of Queens.

It was a known place where Skill-Outs hanged around. Most people tried to avoid the area because of that. The last crime wave only increased that situation. However, strangely enough, the victims of these crimes were all Skill-Outs. First, it was believed that it was a fight between gangs, but then, seeing how the people of the different group were becoming victims, it was determined that there was another party involved.

That party was indeed a powerful Level 4 esper. That was the conclusion, because the only remains of the crimes were the battered body of a Skill-Out and the shade of an aimed explosion. The person in question could be a Pyrokinesist or other type of esper that could produce explosions. That was something still in the investigation desk. The motives of the acts were still unknown. The victims who had managed to take a glimpse of their attacker all confirmed that he was a thin guy with glasses.

It was a situation that had been taking place for a few days. The Anti-Skill decided to replace the Judgment for this operation. However, Peter and his friend and comrade Kuroko weren't too crazy about the idea. So they decided to do their secret operation by themselves. They, tried to get information from the Skill-Outs but it was useless. Angered Level 0s weren't too happy to cooperate with members of the Judgment.

Peter had talked with Yomikawa Aiho, who is a teacher in his school and a member of Anti-Skill with strong principles. "The higher ups are a bunch of idiots who don't care a shit about the Level 0s" she had said clenching her fist in anger. "We should all be focusing in stopping this crimes. The victims all had to be taken to the hospital and most of them received incurable wounds. They were mostly about the age of twenty, but still there were boys of your age. Kids! And we can't do anything because the bosses think is a good chance to get rid of the problematics Skill-Outs!"

In that moment, his sensei threw a fully angered punch against the table surprising everyone in the teachers' room. After hearing that, Peter developed an absolute resolution to take the decision of breaking the curfew and stopping the crimes by himself before they happen. He didn't tell Kuroko about his idea. The girl was eager to stop the crimes, but she was still a long time Judgment member, and what Peter's last mission was broking tons of the organization's rules. Nevertheless, he was enjoying this. Swinging his body through the air without anyone looking after him. It felt good. It felt Spider-Man.

BOOOOOOOOOM

"I think I found the criminal." At the moment he heard that noise, Peter descended from the building and ran to its direction. He, for the sake of not compromising the branch, was using a simple disguise. Sunglasses and the jacket's hood. "Sunglasses in the night, huh? Now I feel like the idol of thirteen year old girls."

That particular accessory was a bit of a problem in that time of the day. Nevertheless, Peter had confidence that he could defeat the esper even with bad visibility. He got to the place, which was behind some bridge, and found what he expected. There was an unconscious guy in the floor with burn mark and the big shade of an explosion. It had caused that some flames ignite in some spots of the floor, so even with the sunglasses, Peter could see the situation.

"Uh, my man escaped" he muttered. "Better hurry to catch him. He should be still be near. However, I should check the guy's situation and anonymously call an ambulance." He got closer to the down Level 0 and inspected his body. He realized it then. The guy was death. "Fuck!" Peter cursed unconsciously removing his sunglasses. Now the only thing he had on his mind was to catch the criminal and bring that murder to the justice. In the end, there was nothing he could do for the poor victim more than cursing himself for being late.

He, after wearing his sunglasses, was about to shoot a web to some building when he noticed something shining in the center of the explosion. He picked the object up with his covered in gloves hands and recognized it as… "This used to be a spoon. Why is something like this here? Would it be that the murder used some kind of physical reaction with the elements within the spoon to create the explosion?" He checked the diameter and found out that it was about 7 meters.

"If that the case, it was a powerful reaction just with a spoon, but is weird that..." Until the moment, all the Anti-Skill investigation about this crimes never said something about spoons. The reports that, as a Judgment member, he read indicated that there weren't any kind of physical evidence of the cause of the explosions. The only thing left after the crime was the shade on the floor and damages on the surroundings. Why was there now, out of the blue, a spoon?

Peter was about to pick the totally battered and broken cutlery piece with his hands wrapped in gloves, when his Spider Sense warned him of an incoming danger. Spider-Man jumped to the side just when a high-speed flying projectile almost collided with his head. 'A gun with silencer'. Peter acted fast and began to shoot webs to the direction of the attack. However, he was attacking blindy. The darkness of a moonless night and his idea of wearing sunglasses at that time was taking its toll. In the end he didn't know if he had managed to wrap the enemy.

Still he ran to fight whoever was hiding in the darks. That person was probably the one who killed the Skill-Out. "You won't escape… He escaped." As he moved his gaze trying to see through the darkness and concentrating his ear to attempt to hear the guy's footsteps, something came to his line of sight. A dim orange glow that, as a shooting star, disappeared in the blink of an eye. "What was that?"

FLAP FLAP

Peter turned around when he heard that…...flapping wings sound? There was nothing at the floor level, but up in the air, he managed to distinguish some human shade up in the sky. 'What a fu…? Hey, where is the spoon?' The spoon had disappeared.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"That you did what?!"

"Calm down Kuroko-sama!" Peter tried to defend himself remembering the crude lesson he received the last time he pissed off this girl. A girl that after the last incident asked him to call her by her first name. "I know that it was reckless and that, but… I got some hints."

"Talk fast or the cloths will start to disappear." Kuroko swung her fingers in front of the scared boy like a moving menace.

"Aye!" The teen proceed to tell about the spoon, the shooter, the orange glow and the flying figure.

Kuroko raised an eyebrow. "A human with wings? Konori-sempai! Peter is sick!"

"Heeeeeeeeey!" Peter yelled. "Don't just assume that my psychological situation isn't in the right place. And, besides, Konori isn't here." The brand was actually empty besides them. Uiharu and Kitty were out on patrol while Konori had reported sick.

Kuroko sighed "Okay. What about the guy that tried to shoot you?"

"As I said, he disappeared of my sight, but there was a strange orange glow. Are there a type of Teleporter that produce that kind of reaction when using the power?" The girl denied. "I guessed so. I tried to find the bullet to see if it could give me some hint. Unfortunately..."

"Unfortunately what?"

"Unfortunately, the bullet pierced through a concrete wall and it was impossible for me to recover it" Peter finished. "But," he continued. "I think it was no regular handgun. If it was that way, the bullet wouldn't have been able to penetrate into the concrete. It would have bounced."

Kuroko looked away with her fist under her chin thinking deeply. After a few seconds her eyes widened and she gazed at Peter with skepticism. "Are you serious? Do you think it was an esper-killer gun?"

Since the esper development first started, safety measures were taken to prevent a possible outbreak of violence from the users. The Anti-Skill was formed with numerous highly developed technology created in order to possibly suppress criminal espers. One of them were guns with some facts that transformed them into really powerful ones capable of killing anyone with ease. Esper-killing weapons. The Smartguns and the Shock Lancer were examples of these.

"The only one who can access this kind of weaponry, by legal manners, is Anti-Skill. And even these are only to be used against real threats for civilians' safety. Most of the members of the organization have never used something like those, and the ones who had, they bear with the life of the ones they pointed the guns at. Even if they were dangerous criminals."

"Well, I guess that the groups that can use these weapons by illegal manners are up to something" Peter said. "What do you think about the spoon?"

"The same as you" the Teleporter replied. "The elements present in the spoon should have been used for a physical reaction that originated the explosion."

The two Judgment members stood in silence for a few seconds before Peter asked his question. "Should we tell this to Konori and the Anti-Skill or..." Peter composed a smirk. "...or should we stay quiet and continue the investigation on our own? I knew you would think that."

The two of them nodded at each other smiling, when suddenly the pigtailed girl blushed and moved her gaze to the side. "Is there anything wrong?" Peter asked.

"No-no-nothing at all!" Kuroko yelled with her face hot and red that it could easily have attracted bulls.

Peter was about to lean and inspect the when his Spider Sense called him out. At the same time.

"Peter Parker..."

The boy in question turned around and saw a terrifying vampire hanging upside down from the roof... No, wait, it was just Kitty going through the surface. The sixteen years old girl and disguised mutant had a bitter frown on her occidental face.

"Kitty? Did...you...heard?" Peter asked with precaution.

The inverted girl nodded. However, this nod was like first down and then up, instead of the opposite.

"Since when exactly?" Kuroko entered the talk.

"Since Pete mentioned his little adventure out of the curfew and the implications of it" Kitty replied still having half body on the roof and half out.

"Uh" Peter gasped.

"Yeah, uh. You know what would happen if I tell Konori-san about this."

CHILLS Peter and Kuroko trembled imagining their boss looking at them inquisitive with her glasses reflecting the light diabolically.

Peter thought it was the time to think fast. "Look, Kits..."

"I am in."

"Eh?"

"That I am in" Kitty repeated.

Peter and Kuroko exchanged looks before the last spoke again. "Are you going to...help us?" A part of her felt some sort of disappointment.

"Yes, do you have a problem with that?" The mutant closed her arms.

"No, the thing is that in all the time I know you, you have been the typical follow all the rules girl" Peter commented cheerfully.

"That's true, but..." What weird, Peter thought that she was going to get annoyed at his comment. "...I don't want you to pass more time alone with Kuroko-chan." Her voice had transformed into a mere whisper, her cheeks were dyed red and she was playing with her hands in a cute way.

However, Peter is dense. "What did you say?"

The girl looked to the side and composed a fake frown. "Nothing. I think that we, as Judgment, must protect even the Skill-Outs of these attacks. There has been one death already, no? Anti-Skill higher ups don't care about their lives, but I do, as you two."

With those words they couldn't retort her. "Alright. In that case let's plan our next strategy" Kuroko suggested.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Kamijou Touma was sweating. He was giving his 100% for this task. It was difficult. His muscles were giving up, but he needed to endure this. It was necessary. "Kamijou-san won't be defeated so easily. Come on!" He put everything in his two arms. "Twenty...nineeeee!"

There was only one crunch exercise left and his routine would be over. He lowered his body five centimeters of the ground. He was about to use all his energy into this last effort when...

"Touma..."

"I'm a little concentrated here, Index."

"You are scaring me and Sphinx is also scared." The young nun was hiding behind the column between the living room and the kitchen of the spiky haired teen's room.

"Nyaaa!" the cat said.

"You even haven't prepare dinner yet. I'm getting hungry."

"It is just 6:30, wait a bit please." Touma realized in that moment that he just said something impossible. "Let me do this and I start with your dinner."

The guy put all his strength in his arms making pressure against the floor. More sweat came from his forehead. His arms were vibrating due to the effort. "You can do it. You can do it. You can do it. You! Can! Do it!" All the energy and forces of his body were redirected to his two arms.

The strengthened limbs began to rise his torso higher. His hands were in pain. He was sweating as in hell. With more effort than last time, he reached the wanted position. "And thirstyyyyyyyyy!" And he collapsed in the floor.

To this sight, Index felt more fear, but she needed to be brave to attain the most important. "W-will you cook now?"

Touma sit on the spot, stirred his wet black hair and breathed in before breathing out several times. "Okay I think it is time to feed you."

"Why I detect some tone like I was an animal that only eats?"

'If I answer that I will certainly have my head pierced by the blade-like teeth of the terrifying nun-san' Touma thought as he stood up and walked his way to the kitchen. There he grabbed a bottle of water, washed his hands and began to cook.

"Bon appetite!" The teen said serving the nun's plate.

"Itadakimasu!" Index began to eat happily until she noticed it. "Why aren't you eating too?"

Touma put a tired smile. "I will be training more in a few minutes. This is just a rest to drink some water and eat an energy bar."

"Why are you suddenly training?" Index asked concerned gazing at his guardian with a suspicious face.

"Oh, there's no particular reason for this." Touma looked away. "Sometimes men like to build up their bodies."

Index glanced at him for a few seconds. Even her stomach was like a vacuum cleaner, she was an inquisitive girl. An inquisitive girl who wanted to believe that the most important person in her life wasn't up to something dangerous. She was going to ask something else when someone knocked the door. Touma went to open it and found Peter with a sport attire as his.

"Are you ready?" The American teen asked.

"You are late, I thought you wouldn't come" the spiky haired replied.

"Sorry, it couldn't be helped" Peter apologized leaning against the door frame. "I had to do something with...technically the Judgment."

"In that case is okay. Should we go?"

"Sure. Hello Index."

"Hi Peter!"

Touma turned to the young nun. "I will be going with Peter for more than a hour. If you get hungrier, there is ice cream on the fridge."

"Ice cream!"

"Nyaaa!"

Touma closed his door and the two teens began to walk. Going through a few streets in just another night in the capital of science, Academy City. Eventually they made their way to a certain park and settled themselves in one of the grass areas. The amount of light was good and they had enough free space. Besides, there weren't anybody else to look at them.

"Are you really sure about this?" Peter asked putting his hands on his hips.

Touma gazed at his friend's eyes. He had already took his resolution. "Yes. I want you to train me."

In the battle against Loki, he realized that he lacked something. His Imagine Breaker was something unique that he only possessed. He knew he had a good complexion, high level of stamina and enough sharp reflexes, but... In the end he wasn't more than another high school student boy.

'To protect Index and all the people I care about, I need to become stronger.'

"You are the highest skilled person I know. If you train me... I know I can improve." Touma bowed. "Please, teach me how to fight properly!"

Peter waved his hands in front of him. "It's okay. It's okay. I told you I could do it. I just wanted to know if you were 100% sure."

"I'm." Touma was a guy who never backed down.

Peter smiled at his friend determination. "In that case...come at me with everything you have."

"Eh? Just like that?" Touma showed a perplex expression.

"Yes, I want to know what you lack exactly."

"Shouldn't we be trying to develop my talents rather than my disadvantages" the spiky haired asked scratching the back of his head.

Peter put a general-like face. "Don't question your sensei and do as I say!"

"Hiii!" Touma replied joining the feet, sweat coming from his forehead.

Peter laughed for several seconds. "It was a...hahahahha...joke!"

"I realized that late. (SIGHT) Such misfortune." Touma took a battle stance. "Alright, bring it on." The teen ran with decision raising his fist.

Peter dodged the attack jumping back and the next ones that came after it in the same way. Touma launched his leg to make his opponent lose his balance. It was a useless movement, as Peter jumped into the air letting the leg pass below him. Until that moment, he didn't say anything. That was something never seen in any of his battles, in where he was normally kept annoying his opponents.

The spiky haired attempted to reach the face of his opponent using both of his fists. However, the American member of Judgment avoided them all with practical easiness. As he did this, he was analyzing the movements of his Japanese friend. With calm and good thinking, Peter was trying to find out which were the strong points and also the weak points of this person.

On the other hand, Touma was already sweating. All his strikes were easily dodged. He couldn't find a way to hit his opponent. He knew that Peter was better than him, but...that difference in skills was frustrating. Fighting with Tsuchimikado was nothing compared to this. The only difference was that Peter didn't countered him or even attempted to go on offensive.

"Now I am going to block instead of dodging" Peter suddenly said surprising the spiky haired, who nodded and continued with the session.

Touma stretched his arm to hit his friend's gut, but Peter grabbed his wrist before it could connect. The Japanese boy, witnessing his situation, used his left fist. The American saw the attack and moved his free arm to parry it. However, he didn't notice something. The movements of his Touma's left foot.

"Argth!" Peter gasped feeling a powerful stomp on his foot.

It was a one second opening, but it was an opening. Touma finally managed to connect a hit with the back of his left fist. The attacked was a horizontal strike against the American boy's right cheek. It was a rather strong hit, but it was only able to make stumble back Peter.

The teen patted his cheek and said: "I think it is enough."

"How was it?" Touma asked hopeful.

"For someone that had never trained to fight nor practiced any martial art, it was...not bad."

"Really? How do you know I never practiced any martial art?" Actually, neither this spiky haired knew if he ever did a sport before. The memory loss was a true bother sometimes.

"Because you attack is impulsive, always goes to the same spot, it leaves many many many openings, the..."

"I get it. I get it. I get it. I get it. Yeez. How do I improve?"

"I tell you later" was Peter's only answer.

"Eh?"

"I will think about this and tell you tomorrow. I need a bit of time to analyze what you lack in your offensive." Peter looked at him and an evil smirk was drew on his face. "Now I will test your defense. I will attack you and you will only defend yourself. You can either dodge or block."

...

...

...

"Eeeeeeeeeeh?!"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"I'll be going now" Peter said to his friends and comrades of the 177 Judgment brand office.

""""Bye!"""""

The teen exited the office and began his patrol. As yesterday, it was a sunny day. That night he was planning to tell Touma about his analysis of their first session. He had noticed what this boy lacked: Mostly speed.

Kamijou Touma had good strength and resistance. He knew how to concentrate all that force in his attacks, what is something good. Unfortunately, his movements left many big openings. Besides, when it came to dodge he didn't had skill to predict the movements is the enemy. Blocking was something also difficult for him.

"I think it will be a bit hard, but..." Peter smiled remembering that. "...something he doesn't lack at all is determination and strong will. I know that for sure."

In the few battles where they had participated, Peter noticed that. That guy, whether the amount of damage he received, he would stand up again clenching his fist. 'Stubborn as hell, but in a good way. Although, I will never say this in his face.' As he was thinking about this, he heard a voice at this back.

"Peter-san?"

"Saten?" Now in front of him was standing the middle-scholar, Saten Ruiko. "Weren't you hanging out with the girls at the brand?"

The girl moved her gaze away and took a few seconds before answering. "I was but... I decided to take a walk and...and...I found you."

"Okay... In that case I will keep with my patrol" Peter said while shrugging and he waved his hand. "See you."

"Wait!" Saten extended her hand towards the sixteen years old teen, but backed away in the end.

Peter inspected the black long haired girl. She had a complex expression. It was kind of a mixture between indecision, embarrassment and...guilt? Choosing his words carefully, Peter spoke. "Is there something I can help you with?" He said this smiling trying to break the tension holstering them.

The girl's expression lighted up, but then her cheeks went red. Peter was going to ask something else, when the girl gathered her courage and spoke again. C-c-can I talk you about something?"

"Now? Uh." He needed to do his patrol after all.

"I can walk with you. I mean... I can join you in your patrol."

"Oh. I don't mind" Peter said cheerfully. "Let's go."

He opened the march and Saten followed him. The pair walked by the streets first in silence. Peter just casually checked the route if there was any situation that the Judgment should handle. Examples of this could be: A lost kid, a lost object, a fight between students or chasing a pickpocket thief. In all his time working for the organization, he hadn't something more serious than those, which were easily handled by the teen whose secret identity was Spider-Man. 'I hope today there's aren't any type of incident' he thought glancing at the civilian walking by him.

'She isn't saying anything at all. She wanted to talk with me. Why is she hesitating? Maybe she is shy and I never noticed that.' Then Peter remembered the girl's regular behavior. 'She isn't shy. At least not as Uiharu. From the group who is normally in the branch, she is the only one who doesn't belong to the Judgment. Oh, I think I know why she want to talk to me.'

Peter leaned against the wall of a building taking advantage of the shade it provided to get rid of the hotness. "Hey."

"Excuse me."

Both of them stopped what they were going to say when they cut their words mutually. Peter scratched the back of his head while Saten blushed. A few uncomfortable seconds later they shared a nervous laugh.

"I know what you want to say."

"You-you-you do?!" Saten stammered hearing the Judgment boy.

Peter looked directly in her. "You broke something."

Saten kept quiet until... "Eh?"

"Yeah" the teen continued. "You broke something in the branch office and, afraid of being scolded by Konori, you hid it. I understand that. It used to happen to me a lot. Now, you want to buy or repair that without Konori noticing about it. You could have asked Uiharu or Kuroko for help, but you didn't want to cause them problems. So you came to me."

"..."

"Don't worry. I help you…"

"THAT'S NOT IT!"

"..." Sweat came from Peter forehead. "Really?"

"Really" Saten replied pouting. "Well, it is...still...a favor. Please help me!" She bowed.

Peter couldn't help it but smile. "Hahaha! Don't have to be so polite. I'll be happy to help. But, what do you need."

Saten's expression lighted up. "Thanks! What I need is...I want you to tell something to the others member of Judgment."

The teen felt confused. "Why can't you tell them by yourself? Aren't they your friends? You don't trust them?"

"Of course I trust them with my soul. The thing is...the thing I want to say is like… Do you ever heard of the Lever Upper?"

"The Lever Upper?" Peter recalled a conversation with Kuroko. "She told me about some incident before my arrival concerning a sound file that could develop esper powers quickly. However, that thing brought some side effects. Bad side effects."

The middle scholar nodded to everything the high scholar said. "Indeed. So she told you about. Mmm…" She lowered her head thinking deeply and asked. "Did she told you that...I…?"

"You what?" Peter asked with curiosity.

"That I… That I was involved in it." Saten lowered her head in shame. "I used the file."

The teen needed a few second to think his next words. "And you got the side effects?"

The girl nodded and sighed. "I passed out in my room and I live alone. If Uiharu hadn't rescued me...I probably would have died of hunger or dehydration or...don't know."

Peter looked with concern and sadness at this girl. He didn't have to ask why she did that. Kuroko had already explained him about the suffering that most Level 0 had. Even if there were some that lived their lives happily, there was a group who kept hating themselves for being part of the bottom of the "esper food chain". Since the moment he met her, he saw Saten Ruiko as a cheerful girl living carefree. However, he didn't know how she was before his arrival and, most important, the Lever Upper incident. Maybe the girl had always being like this, but that program may had been something really tempting.

"Why are you telling me this? How can I help you?"

"It's a big thing to say. A few days ago I heard a rumor… Hey, don't sigh like that! How I was saying, I heard a rumor..."

"What was that rumor about?" Peter sighed again, but the girl just ignored him this time.

"It was about some post in the web with the tittle 'The Lever Upper is back perfected and ready!'"

"Really? Are you sure it isn't a mere rumor? Do you think is something Judgment should look into?"

"Let me finish please. I…looked for the post. I navigated through several websites and eventually found it."

"Send me the link" Peter said with seriousness. "I will pass it to Uiharu to be analyzed and, if it is necessary, pass it later to the Anti-Skill."

"Won't work." Saten put an impotence expression. "All the pages related to this were suddenly eliminated. What a weird coordination, don't you think?"

"What more did you find out about this?"

"That post was real, but it didn't showed any download link or other way to reach the object/file in question. The author wrote that this would be soon, but for now he was just making terrain for it. Apparently this new Lever Upper don't have side effects and actually can take a Level 0 to Level 4 in a few seconds. Something I think is impossible, but that was what I read on the post."

In this point the girl frowned. "The author of it also commented something weird. The guy said something like a new age was coming to Academy City. After all these facts, its possibilities of being not more than a lie are big. Nevertheless, a part of me feels that we should at least look into this a bit."

"…" Peter absorbed the words and thought about them carefully. "Alright, good job. I will tell the others about this and investigate it properly."

"Yes, you will? Thank you!" Saten cheered excited bowing in gratitude.

"It's okay. It's okay" Peter said smiling waving his hands in front of him. Then his face lost the smile and gained a hint of concern. "Could I ask you why you didn't tell about this to Uiharu, Kuroko or Konori first? Why you came to me first instead?"

Saten lowered her head. "Because…because I didn't want them to think that I am interested in something like this again." She continued. "Last time I made them to worry about me. They think after that experience I learned the lesson. If they discover that I actually searched those sites… I'll disappoint them."

"Saten…"

"Because I was caught by the post and eventually investigated the way of obtaining the product. I don't know why exactly. My hand moved over the mouse independently from my thoughts. I don't know how I was able to close the site in the end."

"Saten…"

"It was like a drug. My body wanted to find this thing and use it, even if my mind didn't. I truly don't want something like that. I promised myself that I would do my best to develop and never use a dangerous easy way like this one… W-w-what are y-you su-suddenly d-doing?!"

"Saten." Peter was finally able to get the girl's attention when he patted her head with his hand. "Look, I can see you are feeling guilty for worrying your friends, but I don't think there is a need for that. I mean, they are your friends, no? Only if all I have learnt about friendship since I was a kid is a lie, saying that worrying about a friend would be something bad."

The girl stood there without moving, with the teen's hand still over her head, listening carefully. Peter continued. "Well, I realize that friendship here has its differences with the one in America. However, I am totally sure that your friends wouldn't have been disappointed or something like that. Saten look at me. Knowing the Judgment gang, I can say that they aren't the type of person that would be mad at you for checking that information. No, they actually will praise you for finding this hints by yourself."

"You really think that?"

"Of course!" Peter laughed. "So, what about if we both tell them about this subject? We can say we discovered together. What about that?"

"D-d-discovered together?" Saten asked blushing. 'I think that Kitty-san and Uiharu will be mad if we say that. Shirai-san and Konori-san…maybe the second, but the first… However, I have seen her in the last weeks like… No, impossible…but maybe… Let's not think about that. Hum. Now I want to tease the others with this.'

"What do you think about the idea?" Peter asked crossing his arms and laughing cheerfully, without noticing of the evil plan forming in the girl's head.

"Okay. Thank you, again. Let's do this" Saten replied with a happy expression.

"Nice. What about gathering the entire group tomorrow to tell them about your discoveries of this Lever Upper 2.0."

"Ah, wait." Saten put a finger in front. "There was a new name given to this thing."

"Which one?"

"Apparently, tons of Electromasters were involved in the development of it. Following the logic of that development, the author of the post kept calling it the Electro Upper."

"Got it" Peter said giving her a thumbs up. Then he meditated the last word he heard. 'The Electro Upper. It can be a lie after all. A boring guy invented a good story and put it in the web. Nevertheless, there's something that gives me when I hear that name. The Electro Upper. We must look into this.'

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Chapter 13 finished. It was shorter compared to the ones I have been uploading in the last months, but I decided that I will try to return to my roots. I want to make shorter chapters, but upload them in small time intervals. I think in this way you won't notice very much that I don't have much time right now. The university and the other fanfic. Many things, but it is okay. I can do it. Hope you be patient with me.

What do you think of the prologue of my first OC arc? In a way, this entire arc will be like the PROLOGUE of some bigger OC arcs that will appear in the future. Other thing. Some of you may disagree that Touma should receive training from Peter due to be a character known for not having a big character development like in every other shounen series.
