Alright here's the second chapter of my fic, this time featuring everyone's favorite senpai Seria Kumokawa. For those who've read NT11, you know that she also apparently spent some time with Touma the same way as Misaki.

I don't know exactly what Seria's personality was like when she was with Touma that summer so I'm going to base it on her current relationship with Touma where she's the stern, teasing senpai but maybe add a little bit of dere to her.

So enjoy and as always, I do not own Toaru Majutsu no Index

Seria Kumokawa sipped on some tea as she looked out on this bright summer day. It was currently afternoon and she was sitting down in an outdoor cafe at one of the many tables where they were out in the open and right next to the sidewalks of Academy City's 7th district. She walked by it and decided that she had some free time to kill that and decided she could use a drink and a relaxing environment. Summer vacation had rolled around so that meant that she was out of high school and granted some time to relax. It was a nice change of pace that she welcomed after being done with high school work and her usual duties from working underneath the Board of Directors.

The nice and peaceful setting helped ease the tension that had built up within her. Having to work with some of the shadier characters of Academy City took a lot out of her. It was nice that she finally got to get away from those people and from that ugly side of Academy City for a while. But it wasn't only just working with the inner mechanisms of Academy City that took a lot out of her, her life as a seemingly normal high school girl had piled on on top of that. Being one of the most famed figures at A Certain High School, she always had to constantly maintain her image as the ideal high school student to her fellow peers. Even though she was only a 2nd year, she had already earned her nickname as the "Beauty-Senpai" among her kouhai for her beautiful looks and was described as a genius for her perfect grades and immense knowledge.

Getting away from all of those things certainly gave Seria a feeling of relaxation. It was just very taxing having to juggle both of those sides of her with one another. Seria felt more loose now that she didn't have to present herself properly to many people and play nice with others. It wasn't like she personally disliked anybody but there were very few people that Seria was actually happy being around. But in response to that thought, her mind begged to disagree as an image of a certain boy had popped into her mind.

She felt herself blush as she recalled the boy named Kamijou Touma. He was a certain kouhai of hers that she had met a while back. They had a repeated number of encounters with each other and as she continued to hang around the boy, the more fond of him she became. They were certainly interesting events but that was a story for another time.

As she pondered when was the next time they were going to meet, she imagined to herself that her current day could have been better if only there was a certain spiky-haired boy there with her right now. That boy most certainly always brightened up her day whenever she was with him.

Suddenly, she heard some crashing sounds and what sounded like liquid spilling behind her. "Fukou da" Seria heard from a voice behind her. As that familiar phase passed through her ears, her lips curved up into a smile that almost seemed wicked.

She turned her head and was not surprised when she saw that a certain boy was covered in liquid. It seemed that the boy named Kamijou Touma was just walking past by the cafe when one of the waitresses that was taking an order to a table near the sidewalk accidentally tripped and spilled the contents of the tray she was holding on the boy. It looked like Touma was trying to calm down the waitress that was apologizing frantically to him. He told the girl that it was fine and that he wasn't going to report this incident to her boss in an effort to calm her down. The waitress beamed at him with a smile and thanked him profusely as she went back to clean up the mess on the ground and to get the order that she had spilled. As the waitress left, Touma let out a sigh as he was now drenched in a mixture of tea and coffee.

It seemed that her wish was not only heard, but granted as well. It seemed like his misfortune was her good luck.

She turned her head forward with her back facing the boy. "It seems that my day has brightened up quite a bit and yours is still as dark as ever." Seria stated to no one in particular but was obviously meant for the boy. She had made it loud enough for him to hear her.

Touma cocked his head to the direction of the sudden sound of her voice. "Kumokawa-senpai?" He was surprised by her sudden appearance even though she had been at the cafe for a while. Touma walked over to the table she was sitting at. "Was that whole ordeal really that entertaining to you? Do you have to make fun of my misfortune? "

"Of course I do, I'm your big older sister senpai that has to lovingly tease her younger brother. It is always amusing to me at the trouble you get into. Your misfortune always seems to be the highlights of my day." Seria laughed and Touma just sulked there while still being drenched. "Come have a seat and your senpai will comfort you." She waved her hand out to the seat in front of her.

Touma sighed and accepted her offer as he sat and just seemed to collapse. He dumped his school bag and materials that he was carrying onto the table and then put his arms down on the table and rested his face in their confines. "It's alright, I'm sure your day has gotten better now that you're here with me." Seria said in a teasingly smug voice.

"Mmhmm, my day really sure has improved." Touma mumbled in his arms in an almost sarcastic tone.

"I guarantee it has." Seria laughed as she patted his hair while his face was still laying down.

When Seria pulled her hand back, she moved her gaze from Touma and looked over at the contents that Touma dropped on top of the table. "It seems like you just came back from summer classes, Kamijou-kun" Seria observingly pointed out.

"It's just my luck." Touma complained "I hate that I have to take supplemental lessons during summer break. I know I'm not the best student around but learning about all these types of Espers and how they work is just confusing!" Touma said as he stood back up and placed his hands on his head in exasperation.

"Haha well keep trying your best Kamijou-kun." Seria said "After all, you have to work and study hard so that you can pass your entrance exam so that you can get into my school next year. If you didn't, your senpai would feel pretty lonely if you weren't around. After all, I'd really like to spend some more time with my cute kouhai." She teased Touma.

Touma blushed at what she said and turned his head to the side in embarrassment. "Awww he looks so cute like that" Seria thought as she placed her hand up to her cheek.

"So if you really need help with your studies, all you have to do is just ask yours truly" Seria said. "And maybe we can have a private tutoring session." Seria added on with a seductive tone.

Touma turned even more red at her statement and became even more flustered at her suggestion. He didn't know how to respond to that

"Oh my god, he is so cute and adorable like this." Seria thought. It was no wonder why she liked teasing him a lot. She leaned her cheek in on the palm of her hand and just stared dreamily at the form of Touma.

"Eh heh heh, well anyway *cough* *cough*" Touma said while balling up his hand in front of his mouth, signs of red still on his face.

"I'm trying my best but all of the stuff this city of schools teaches is just hard in general." Touma said. "Academy City really is an amazing place with all of the technology it's invented and the amazing progress in science they've made. Of course the difficulty in schools will be high." Touma said defeated. "I wish I was as smart a genius as you Kumokawa-senpai."

Seria accepted the compliment with a smile. "Well, thanks for the praise Kamijou-kun. In return for that, you can just ask me anything you would like to know and I'd be happy to oblige."

After she said that, it seemed like Touma actually had something on his mind that he wanted to ask. A questioning look popped on his face. "Well alright. So you say you know a lot about Espers don't you senpai?"

"I would say that I know quite a bit."

"Then would you happen to know anything about mind control?"

"Oh? Well that's certainly an interesting topic to choose. What brought on the curiosity for this certain field?"

"Hmm, well recently I've had some frequent encounters with this girl-."

"Girl?" Seria tensed up when Touma said that he met another girl. Also it seemed that by the sound of it, he met her a repeated number of times as well. That wasn't good for her and she could feel a jealous feeling sparking up inside of her.

"Tell me more about this girl." Seria said in a slightly annoyed tone, totally cutting off Touma. She leaned forward with her chin on top of her hands as her arms propped up on the table. Her full intent was on listening to his response.

"Well, she's some kind of ojou-sama type of girl that goes to Tokiwadai Middle School. She may be in middle school like me but she's definitely younger than me. She had long blonde hair and her eyes were something that stuck out to me. They looked very interesting because she had stars where her pupil would normally be. I thought she was kind of cute but her flat chest mixed with her haughty personality kind of made me wary of whether or not she was one of those tsundere types I see in anime." Touma said as he closed his eyes and crossed his arms.

Seria mentally noted all of the things that Touma said describing the girl. She was going to do some research on her later. Although by the features that Touma had just told her, it sounded like it was someone very familiar that she thought she knew.

"She keeps on going on about mind control and saying that she has the ability to wipe my memories but I haven't seen her actually do it so I don't know if I should believe her. So I was wondering about how much you knew about it senpai."

"Hmmm, maybe I can mess with Touma and mess with this girl that he's been hanging around with as well." Seria thought sinisterly as she could knock out two birds with one stone.

"Well there are indeed many different ways on how mind control works, but the most common form of mind control that comes to mind to most people is hypnotism."

"Hypnotism?"

"Yes, the most typical thing you would think of when it comes to hypnotism is someone dangling a watch in front of someone's face right? Well what if I also told you that it is indeed possible to use mind control on someone, even if you're a Level 0."

"Wait really?!" Touma said excitedly as he leaned forward on his chair looking at her.

"Mmhmm, so even poor you with no ability would be able to perform hypnotism." Seria said smiling.

"So how would I go about doing something like that?" Touma said curiously.

"Well I can certainly help you with that. Here, give me your notebook." Seria said as she raised out her hand in front of her, signalling to Touma to hand him one of his notebooks.

Touma handed his notebook and pen to her and watched as she clicked the top of the pen as the bottom revealed the tip that would be used for writing.

Seria started writing on the front cover. After she did that, she opened up the notebook and started writing in its pages. Touma watched in curiosity as to what she was doing but couldn't specifically see what she was writing down. He waited until she was done writing when she finally clicked the pen again.

"Ta da! Here you go. All that you need to know about hypnotism is written down in here." Seria said as she handed back the notebook to Touma.

"Wow! I can't believe high school girls know about stuff like this. I'm in awe at how those in high school really are amazing." Touma said excitedly as he held out the notebook in front of him and stared it.

"No problem, so the next time you see this girl, why don't you show this to her so that you two have something to talk about." Seria said with a smirk.

"Thanks again Kumokawa-senpai!" Touma said as he picked up his stuff and left her alone.

"Hehehe, I'm excited to see how this turns out." Seria said with a smirk as she sipped her tea. "Hopefully it'll solve the problem of a girl getting too close to Kamijou-kun."

One day, Shokuhou Misaki had found the pointy-haired boy sitting on a park bench. Whether it helped much or not, he had chosen a bench in the shade to escape the heat. She wanted to say he was reading, but that may not have been quite right. He was looking through a notebook, but he held nothing to write with.

What was he doing?

Curious, she had asked and this was his reply.

"Hypnotism! I can get anyone to do what I say with this!"

"Hypnotism?"

"That upperclassman sure is amazing. High school girls can do anything! They can ride motorcycles, work part-time, and casually answer anything you ask. Taking that step from middle school to high school really is amazing. She's such an adult!"

"What!? Are you trying to piss me off!?"

Shokuhou had only just entered the middle school zone this year, so she did not like the sound of that theory. It made her feel several levels behind.

But at the same time, she noticed the boy had mentioned asking this high school girl something. In that case…

(Hm. Could he be studying psychology to have more to talk with me about?)

He was way off the mark if that was the case, but why not help with his efforts?

She sat next to him and he continued with the notebook in hand.

"But doesn't Academy City's Curriculum use hypnotic suggestion?"

"Well, there are some kids who use abreaction, hypermnesia, self-hypnosis, and that sort of thing as triggers or safeties, but I seriously doubt that involves dangling a plastic pendulum from a string and waving it back and forth."

"C'mon, just this once! I just want to try it out once! I'll only try it a little!"

"Fine, but if you succeed, it's my turn. I'll do to you what you did to me."

Her warning would make him too afraid of her revenge to give any inappropriate orders.

With that in mind, she watched as he held a power stone pendulum in front of her eyes.

All the while, he was looking down at the notebook instead of her.

"Okay, here goes. Um… First, stare at the pendulum."

(It would actually be pretty scary if this was enough to mess with someone's mind. This is like performing surgery without knowing what you're doing.)

She followed his instructions while working to keep her thoughts from showing on her face.

"But now a surprise attack!"

He clapped his hands right in front of her face. There was in fact a way of inducing a hypnotic state with an unexpected action. For example, you could rub their back as they focused on the movements of your finger.

But it was hopeless when the method was this straightforward.

"Did it work?" he asked the surprised girl. "P-please relax."

(Controlling people isn't that easy!)

"…"

She swallowed her thoughts and followed his instructions. She let her eyes glaze over and shoulders go limp. The pointy-haired idiot called out to her and waved his hand in front of her face to test her reactions, but he finally seemed to believe in his own power.

"It really worked. Amazing. That upperclassman's notebook is real! She's really something else to make a method even an amateur like me can use. High school girls can do anything! They really are adults!"

(What!? Why is my effort improving his opinion of that old woman!?)

The middle school girl briefly contemplated throwing it all aside and attacking him head-on, but she decided ruining this would not be any fun and so continued her act. Now that Kamijou had gained the right to freely use another person, she wanted to see what kind of commands he would give this (self-proclaimed) beautiful girl.

"Um, okay. Time for the first command."

He looked down at the notebook titled "Kumokawa Seria's Hypnotism Notebook".

And then he said it.

"You have a strong desire to stand up and lift your skirt in both hands."

"…!?"

She thought her heart would leap from her throat.

(He…he…he… He completely gave into his desires once he thought he'd succeeded, didn't he!?)

She began to tremble, but Kamijou did not seem to notice.

He looked at her face in confusion, tilted his head, and looked back down to the notebook.

"Odd. It's not working. But it says right here to test that first."

"…?"

Shokuhou moved just her eyes to glance down at the notebook sitting in his lap.

Someone had used a highlighter all over the page, but one area was emphasized more than the rest.

Embarrassment is an important parameter for showing a human's resistance. To check whether they are under your control or not, you first need to test a command that will cause great embarrassment. For example, you could ask them to lift their skirt.

(That girl is just making things up!)

In fact, the false notebook was written to carry things in an obscene direction no matter what happened.

Most likely, that "upperclassman" had realized Shokuhou was involved once Kamijou made his request. In her jealousy, she had created this nonsense manual and given it to Kamijou. It was exactly the sort of method she would expect of "that old woman".

Next time they met, she swore to control her with Mental Out, dress her in a risqué swimsuit, and have her put on a one-man samba carnival, but how to handle the current situation took priority.

"B-but this isn't good. Wouldn't it be bad if I hypnotized her but left her hanging like this!? Oh, damn. Is there a way to stop the hypnotism!? Like a purge switch or something!?"

What had he planned to do if this was real?

She grew more and more irritated as he flipped through page after page, but she realized she had bigger things to worry about.

Namely, the page his hand stopped on.

"Here it is! Let's see, let's see. Emergency hypnotism release. If the hypnotism fails, it could cause catastrophic damage to their memories or personality, so do not hesitate for a second when performing this emergency release. However, shouting to them or slapping them won't help. Their embarrassment is what is interfering with your commands, so you must increase that to its maximum."

(Eh? Wait.)

"For example, by removing their panties."

"Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaatttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt!?"

She lost control of herself and jabbed the corner of her handbag into the very middle of his pointy-haired head.

Seria had observed the whole ordeal while sitting on a park bench at another corner of the park. She laughed at how the events played out almost exactly to her expectations. "Oh Kamijou-kun, your naivety is just so adorable." She did indeed love messing with Touma. Not only did she get to mess with Touma, but the whole trick would hopefully make the girl in question that was hanging around Touma be repulsed by him. Seria had hoped that this trick certainly repel off any rivals she could possibly have for Kamijou Touma's affection.

After the girl had hit Touma on the head, Seria saw her walk away from him, leaving the boy alone near the bench clenching his head in pain after she hit him. As Seria had the time to observe her while she was with Touma and got a closer look at the girl, her appearance had confirmed her suspicions. The girl in question that Seria suspected of when Touma described was indeed Shokuhou Misaki, the Mental Out and the Fifth-ranked Level 5 of Academy City.

Now that new information kind of surprised Seria. Why a person like her was hanging around someone like Kamijou Touma was anybody's guess. Kamijou Touma was just a Level 0 that was ranked among the lowest of the people in Academy City. She attended a prestigious middle school while he attended a most average common school. There was no reason as to why these two people would ever have to meet.

And yet they did. But not only that, she continued to have encounters with the boy. What exactly compelled the meetings between the two?

No, Seria knew why she had been hanging around him. Kamijou Touma was a boy with a certain distinct quality that attracted many to him. It was what even attracted herself to him. Something definitely had happened between the two. That boy had been known to save others when they needed it. He would save anyone that needed help regardless or not there was even reason to help them. So what exactly happened between them?

Seria took a long look at the girl that was still walking. Almost as if she felt she was being stared at, she stared back at the general direction that Seria was located at. While not exactly looking at Seria, it almost felt like a challenging look came from her.

"Well, it looks like this whole ordeal isn't over just yet. Looks like I'll be seeing more of her in the future."

"That was so embarassing!" Misaki fumed as she walked away from Touma after she hit him.

She had no idea why she decided to go along with Touma's antic for all of that. For some reason, her conscious decided that it'd be a good idea to oblige Touma with what he was doing. She kicked herself at her irrational decision that she made when that boy was involved. She felt that she changed whenever she was around the boy.

Misaki blushed as she tried to dig up her feelings to describe what she felt whenever she was around the boy. Usually the dynamics between the two of them were pretty unusual but it was something she was getting comfortable with. Even if it did sometimes annoy her kind of like what just happened.

She thought back to main issue at end "While it was perverted of that boy to try to mess with my underwear, whoever wrote that book was indeed the culprit of this whole shenanigan." Misaki continued walking in the park. "Whoever this Seria Kumokawa is definitely has something to pick with me." Misaki thought as she recalled the name that was on the front of the notebook Touma read off of.

"Is it because I've been hanging around Touma a lot recently? Is this certain maiden jealous of me? Hmmph, well I hope she doesn't think she could get rid of me that easily." Misaki was not going to let this girl have her way. If it was fighting over Touma, then Misaki was confident enough in her skills. At that thought, Misaki blushed at the aspect of her fighting for Touma's affection. "No no no! It's not like that, I don't think I like that boy like that." Misaki shook her head. "At least not yet..."

As she thought that, she felt a chilling stare crawl down her spine from behind her. She turned around and looked to see what it was but saw nothing out of the ordinary in the park. She felt it coming from a certain direction. She narrowed her eyes at that direction.

"I'm definitely not going to lose him to you."
