"This is taking so long," a certain spiky-haired boy said.
"Oh quiet you. Be thankful we got you out of the bathroom after that stunt you pulled," said the iron-walled girl, Seiri Fukiyose. "Try not to ruin this trip, Touma Kamijou."
"But I'm trying not to, OK!? It's not my fault the bathroom door somehow locked itself, leading for you guys to be 1 hour late to the damn bus. It's my misfortune, I'm tellin ya!" Touma defended himself to Fukiyose.
"Excuses! When will you start taking responsibility for your actions!!! Despicable!!!" Fukiyose would not give him any time of the day, so Touma instead, sat in silent frustration.
"My rotten luck," he lamented.
"Okay class, here we are!" The small teacher, Komoe Tsukuyomi, said to the class. The class looked out the windows, to see a large 4-storey glass building. On top of the building are the words 'SynCorp'.
"SynCorp is a relatively new company, which nonetheless, have put a name for themselves in the science world. Their advances in medicine and technology are truly something to behold. As I said before, they may be new, but they are doing very well for themselves." Komoe explained to the class. "Okay class, get off the bus. No pushing and no pulling, all should go single file."
The entire class got off the bus rather uneventfully. Until Touma's uniform gets stuck on the bus' doors, then the bus drives away, with Touma in tow. The diminutive teacher gave chase in a panic after the bus.
"DAMN ROTTEN LUUUUUUUUUCK!!!"

"That was the 1,119,976th time it happened. That should've been a new record," Motoharu Tsuchimikado, Touma's neighbor in his dorms, wryly said to him.
"I don't want my misfortune to be recorded by you Motoharu," Touma deadpanned.
After a long conversation between Motoharu and Touma about keeping records, which somehow went to which is better (fox girls vs cat girls), the two were called by their fellow degenerate, the blue-haired slacker "Pierce Aogami", who was forced to wait for them by Fukiyose. "Hurry up or you'll be left behind!" He shouted out to the duo. They hurriedly rushed towards him while still keeping up with the conversation.

As the tour guide of SynCorp guides the class throughout the lab, Touma took a look around the lab; most of the technology here were already developed and used in Academy City; some were in development, and others impressed him, since he hasn't seen them used in the city. Like for example, genetically engineered spiders making silk 10 to x stronger than steel. Now that's something you don't see everyday. Or the effects of gamma radiation on living things. Like in the comic books.
"Hey Kami," a voice interrupted his thoughts. As he turns arpind, his two classmates Aogami and Motoharu were in front of him. In Aogami's hands was a small camera.
"What do you want?" he asked.
"Hey Kami, could you take a picture of us with one of the spiders?" Aogami asks Touma.
"Wait, you can't do that. That's illegal. Besides with my luck shit tends to get worse," Touma said.
"No one will know, Kami. Besides it's just one picture," Motoharu said.
After 30 long agonizing minutes, Touma reluctantly takes a picture. Unfortunately, he didn't bother to check if the shutter light was on, and it wasn't set to silent mode; Komoe had to spend 3 hours to convince the management to release the idiot trio.
"What in the world were you thinking? Photographing test subjects? You're lucky they didn't sue the school!!! You should be ashamed of yourselves!!!!" Komoe scolded the trio. Fukiyose was there with the dwarf teacher, although her methods were far more violent.
From there o, she placed the trio in front of the whole class, with Fukiyose supervising them. The tour from that point on was relatively uneventful, apart from Touma's classic misfortune (he never seems to learn about knocking before entering).
At around 5pm, the class were eating snacks. Kamijou went over a nearby trash can, about to throw away the leftovers of his snacks, until he feels a sting in his neck.
'Awww! Something bit me,' he immediately slapped the back of his neck, whereupon he looked over his hand to see what had bitten him.
It looked to be a common house spider. That's weird, they aren't known for bitinf humans.
"Kamijou, we're losing daylight. Come on," Fukiyose said. Kamijou flicked the spider off his hand and entered the bus.
Unbeknownst to him, that wasn't an ordinary spider that bit him.
Touma Kamijou later spent the rest of the night with a high fever.
