Author's Note
After I review my plan for Level upper and Index arc I found a little contradiction that need to be fix, at least it is still in the future and fixable, will affect next chapter's release somewhat though.
At first I want this chapter to reach the starting point of level upper arc, but after some thought I feel that character interaction is still need, so this chapter and the next will still be a slice of life & Info dump.
Also I kind of got a few serious problem in real life lately, I will continue this fic since it is my way of stress relief, but a story may got in to a little darker tone due to my mood.
I also understand that my English grammar is quite really bad. I may try to re-write later to fix that but now I want to at least get this fic pass the Level upper&Index arc first, I must keep on going while I still have passion enough to do this fic.
Another note about some idea I received about using Emi's traced sword as lightning rod to counter Mikoto's lightning power, it won't really work when you think about it, Mikoto's personal reality let her control Electromagnetic with somewhat adding her own logic to it, that's the reason why she can control lightning's target in the first place, Her lightning is still mostly follow physic logic but one part she can control for sure is where she want it to go, so unless there is noble phantasm that can pull lightning to itself as special ability (Mjonir, Thor's hammer?), I feel that the lightning rod idea won't work in real battle against Mikoto.
I feel a little strange that I really follow logic line of thinking and physic when I want this fic to be more about how you abuse magic and techno babble, maybe I am a bit hypocrite?
Also, I just recently watched Railgun S and has a little urge to recreate the fight scene in Sister's noise opening. Mikoto,Kuroko,Touma vs Shizuru,ITEM, that is damn awesome! But that will need to tweak story a lot to recreate that scene which I didn't have that much confidence and Idea now. Still want to give it a try though, but ignored that for now, focus on the current arc first! (said to myself)
Well, let get to the story.
XXXXX
17 July inside family restaurant in Academy City
After brought themselves inside restaurant and sat at table, Emi urged Touma to order anything he would like to eat, Touma, being a nice guy, feel a little considerate at first, but as soon as Emi said that "If you don't order something I will order for you myself", Touma order some discount set menu while Emi order a more expensive one.
During waiting for their food, Emi start some conversation.
"So about earlier talk, could you continue your explain about your Imagine-Breaker?"
Touma nodded, then raised his right hand in the front and said "Imagine-Breaker is a power that can nullify any superpower no matter what it is, no matter how strong, if it still count as supernatural, this hand can nullify them. Heck, even if it is a power of the god itself is no excuse." He smiled a little bit at the end.
"…" Emi blinked and froze for a while before replied back "Wow… that is quite a boast you know." She almost giggle as the last bit about god seem a little too much, did Touma intended it as a joke?
"Hmm…" Touma grinned a little before continue "…However it only work against supernatural power, so when face something that isn't, this power is useless! You see, against those thug earlier I fare no better than normal human, also this power only cover my right hand, no other area, can't turn off, so it is a bit tricky to use."
"Very specific then, but I still think that power of Touma is really useful." Emi start to imagine what Imagine-Breaker can do if it is as good as Touma said, when the picture of Touma punch the corrupted holy grail and destroy it in a single punch come to her mind, she almost startled. "Wait, if your power are that really powerful could it be… are you one of the seven Level 5?"
Touma's eye widen before he quickly refused "No no, there is no way this Kamijou Touma is on the same league as those Level 5, actually-" He sigh before continue "I am just a LV 0. Mind you."
"Why the hell is that? You have one usable power didn't you?" Emi confusedly asked. She may not know much about Esper yet, but she already learned that power level of esper power is categorized by how useful it is, since Touma have power that can nullified other esper's power, he should be at least LV3, Level of power that count as useful and unique enough that can't be substitute by mundane method easily. "How come you are only Level 0?"
"It is because Imagine-Breaker keep nullify any kind of supernatural power, so when Academy city's machine try to evaluate my power, it never found any trace of power, result in that I always be evaluate as a Level 0. Such misfortune!"
"What kind of logic is that?" Emi groaned, then remembered that in her own test, despite she didn't show her true potential, she still got evaluated as Level 5, probably by that Testament machine that reacted with her magic back there. Academy city really trust their technology isn't it?
"Well, that is all about my power, may I ask about Emi-san's?"
"Okay, it's my turn now, my power-" before she start explained however, their ordered food is now served at their table. "-maybe we should talk about that while eating, I don't want these food to get cold first." Seeing that Touma nodded, both of them now focus on their food first.
During eating, Emi repeat her lecture (for the 3rd time of the day) about her power to Touma, she also provided some example by create a small crystal-like ball on the table which braked easily when Touma accidentally put his right hand on it, they also talk about mundane things including how bad luck Touma was for the day before he met Emi, after hearing about all that happened just for this day alone, Emi feel that Touma luck maybe even worst than E rank, and wonder a little that maybe he have something like E- rank or should it be label at F rank?
After finished their dish, Emi still want to try a dessert and ordered a cup of strawberry sundae, and they continue their talk.
"About your power, your Tracing is probably a high level one isn't it? That uniform's Tokiwadai's, I heard before that Tokiwadai only accept student with power lv3 or more"
"Well… it is just as you said" Emi hesitated, should she tell him that she is the new level 5? Remembered Kuroko's response, she decided to change the topic. "Is Tokiwadai that famous? I just recently came to this city and didn't know much about it."
"They said that Tokiwadai is the top elite school for upper class lady in this city, though there is this one Tokiwadai's girl that keep challenge me because she want to beat me in combat saying that my power is special somehow despite our clear different in level, that one didn't act lady-like at all." He sigh "Maybe I shouldn't let her see my power in the first place."
"I wonder who's that girl?" Emi replied "And that remind me, may I test your power a little Touma-san? I really interest in that Imagine-Breaker of your."
Seeing that Touma nodded back, Emi quickly change her mindset to that of a magus, she may not be a true magus that devote themselves on experiment, but study in clock tower for almost a year under a sorcerer drilled that magus perspective in to her quite a bit.
"Let start with… this"
Quietly muttered her aria, Emi created a few traced objects on the table, a crystal Ball, a foot long crystal stick, then after some thought, another crystal ball with the same size at the first but with some alteration that can't see with bare eyes.
"Try using Imagine-Breaker on these object, I want to see how your power work"
Touma used his right hand to touch each objects, as he touch each of the objects, they all dissipated with a noises like glass cracking that draw the attention of other peoples in the restaurant.
"Maybe test my power in restaurant isn't that good of an idea?" Touma said with concern voice but Emi didn't response, her eye is now focus on the places where traced objects were before they disappeared.
While other may see that all 3 objects just disappeared in the same way, Emi, with her reinforce sense observed that there is slight different, a stick disappeared a little slower than the crystal ball and also start to dissipated from the tip that Touma's hand touch until it reach the other end, probably due to the different in size and shape, meaning that Imagine-Breaker didn't nullify all of whatever it touch at once but start from the touch area to the other part of an object, It work kind of like some clothe that soak with water or something that got burn from one end to another.
The other thing that Emi didn't told Touma is that the last crystal ball is altered a bit to have some magic resistance imbued in it, the same ones with she used in her traced items that worked in her brief 'fight' with Mikoto, she has theory that every esper's abilities is prana base power that work in different way than magecraft but use same power source, so it is still magical in a way, like how her sword manage to block Mikoto's lightning, so she thought that Imagine-Breaker too is still prana-base skill thus, magic resistance may able to dampen or stop it power, but it turn out that Imagine-Breaker just destroyed the magic-resistance imbued object as easily as the normal one without any significant difference noticeable, either the magic resistance isn't high enough or Imagine-Breaker can bypass that is still need more analyze.
It is no surprised that Touma suddenly let the "Eep!" come out from his mouth when Emi suddenly hold his right hand with both of her hand and then pulled it to her front to analyze more of it.
"E… Emi-san?" Touma fluttered, not sure of what he should do, right now the petite girl is caress hers hand along his right arm, he feel that it is a little more than just uncomfortable, and a little excited.
On Emi's side, she didn't noticed that this is quite improper act at all, her mind is now obsessed on analyzing the right hand with strange power of Touma, when her hand touch Touma's right hand area, she can't use any magecraft or control her magic circuits at all, but as soon as she pull her hand out of that, everything become normal again.
"This is very interesting" Emi muttured, she was wondered if using structural analysis may or may not able to get her any data on Imagine-Breaker when suddenly-
"What were you two doing?"
-an embarrassing yet familiar voice call to her. When Emi look up, she saw Mikoto whose face is now as red as tomato standing beside the table, glaring fiercely at the now contact part of her and Touma's.
What make Emi truly realized the current situation however, is Mikoto's next word.
"Did both of you are in some kind of relationship?"
Emi's eye widen, she is now sit with guy around her age in the restaurant, on the table there is a cup of strawberry sundae on the table with pair of spoons in it cup, along with a heart shaped decoration on top of it, both of her hands now hold Touma's right hand, Touma's face is now as red as Mikoto's, and her own face is starting to become hot… Emi then quickly released her hand and raised them in the air in front of her with the quickest speed as possible without rely on any reinforcement, or maybe she has used some, she can't really focus what to do right now!
"It… it is not what it look like?" Emi silently cursed herself, of all thing she can said, why did she choose that specific line?
"What? Are you are trying to say that you guys aren't on a date, just this guy save you from some kind of thugs, so you decided to treat him a meal as a thank?"
"Well, yes" Emi and Touma replied back in same voice then looked at each other in surprise, before Emi continue "Don't tell me your Electromaster power also include Clairvoyance or you actually have more than one powers?"
"No it's not and I didn't have multi-skills or something like that. I'm just guessing." Mikoto sighed, then sat herself on the chair beside Emi's. "So you really been rescued by him?"
"In a nutshell, yes" Emi nodded.
Hearing Emi's response, Mikoto sighed again, then she stared at Touma and said "Did you have 'must help the younger girl in need' syndrome or something like that? Could it be that you really want a middle schooler as a girlfriend? Mister hero-wannabe high-schooler-san."
"You know… I pretty sure you two are knowing each other." Emi cut in "So Touma-san is a high schooler? And how did you two know each other?"
"For the first question, I am 1st year in high school, for the latter, I met her when she got herself surrounded by some bullies a few weeks back there." Reminded himself, Touma added "But like you, she didn't really need my help at all, and I just bring myself more trouble knowing her. Such misfortune."
"Hey! Did you just mocked me or something?"
Ignored Mikoto's protest, Touma continue "Anyway, are you two friend? It's good to see that Biri-Biri have friends since I always saw her alone when she come to challenge me to fight with her."
"I told you to stop calling me that!"
Emi looked at Mikoto once, so she is that Tokiwadai girl Touma talked about earlier. "Yes, we are classmates, both of us are 2ND year at Tokiwadai's middle school."
Touma face showed some surprise on it "Same year classmates? I thought Emi-san looked a little-"
"Let me tell Touma-san beforehand that I don't really like when someone call me 'too young', 'too small' or something like that." Emi cut in before Touma finish what he want to say, her hand pick up a spoon and thrust it into strawberry sundae in front of her with motion that resemble how she thrust a sword in to opponent's body, and her smile become a little scary for a spiky haired boy somehow.
"-Hot-blooded!" Touma forced himself to change his wording mid-sentence. A little too forced but no one seem to mind. "I really surprised when Emi-san bring that sword out of nowhere. Or maybe every girl in Tokiwadai are capable of protect themselves like you two?"
"Probably not" Emi refused. "Misaka-san and I probably not too lady-like like the other girl"
"While I feel getting insulted by how you two talking for a while, I have other concern at the moment, why did you two called each other on name-basis already? Didn't you and Einzbern-san become friendly too fast? You two just met isn't it!" Mikoto's voice seem a little frustrated at the end
"Well, I am the one told him to just call me 'Emi' since he already proved that he is reliable enough, and I also told everyone in the class that call me 'Emi' is fine, he is just the first person here to call me with that name" Emi replied then put a spoonful of strawberry sundae in to her mouth, after that her face is filled with a radiant smile "This is so good!"
Mikoto looked at Emi's face then said "Then I too will start call you as 'Emi'. On the condition that you too must call me with 'Mikoto', deal?" Mikoto told herself that she just feel strange that her classmate seem to be too close with some other school's boy than it should be, so she decided to become more friendly with the new transferred student. It's not like that she envy how they called each other on name-basis or anything! She just want to beat the boy, not befriend him!
"Deal" Emi replied and put more strawberry sundae into her mouth, her face is now so relaxed.
"Emi-san seem to really like her strawberry sundae" Touma said after saw how happy the pink-haired girl became.
"I love sweet things" Emi admitted. She can't help it since, after got this female body of her, sweet thing become oddly delicious than what her male mind remembered, she feel so good that she want to share the joys to others. "Would you two like some?" She offered.
"I'll pass" Touma refused due to being considerate.
"Me too, right now I prefer something hot, I actually start to feel a little cold here." Mikoto hold herself with her arms trying to warm herself, Emi just noticed then that Mikoto's uniform seem a bit wet, as if someone throw a bucket of water on her.
"Mikoto-san, why is your uniform wet?"
"Well, I kind of have some event involve lending Judgement a helping hand, and I kind of tripped my leg and landed in a small pool during that." Mikoto gave a vague reply, not including the fact that it all start because she mistakenly got acknowledged as a new recruited Judgement member, and Mikoto herself misinterpreted that Judgement were looking for a possible terrorist bomb while in truth they were just looking for a girl's lost pouch. "Actually I was finding someplace to dry my clothes but I saw you two first-" Her body shivered again due to wind from air conditioner "-Achoo! Excuse me for a moment. I need to get in the restroom and dry myself a little. I'll be right back" Mikoto stood up and glared at Touma for a moment "I have something to talk with you."
Emi have no Idea what is 'Judgement' that Mikoto talked about but decided to question that later. Not sure how Mikoto's going to dry herself with her power or using other method, she decided to lend a hand "Here Mikoto-san, you can use this" she traced a towel in her hand and give it to Mikoto.
"Thank you. Emi-san's power is really convenient." Mikoto took the towel and go inside the restaurant's restroom.
After Mikoto disappeared from their sight, Touma stood up and said "Time to take my leave."
"Why is that? Isn't Mikoto just said that she has something to talk with you… Oh. She want to challenge you for a fight isn't it?"
"You catch on quick" Touma replied.
"Well, she actually challenge me too. But I managed to convince her out of it for now." She didn't tell the boy that she also want to fight Mikoto later, just not now. "In that case, would you mind exchange your number for later contact? I still want to know more about your Imagine-Breaker. Maybe we can meet sometime later?"
"Okay, I'm fine with that." Both then picked up their phones and exchange their numbers, after that Touma is leaving when he suddenly tripped over banana peel that seem to appear on the restaurant's floor for no reason at all. "Argh! Such misfortune!" He tried to picked himself up and walk out of restaurant before something bad happen again, like, for example-
"What loud noise is tha... Hey! Where are you going?"
-Mikoto already came out of the restroom.
"…Sorry Biri-Biri I have to go now." Touma quickly ran away from the scene.
"STOP!" Mikoto shouted, threw towel off her hands, and quickly run after the boy who just left. "And I already told you to stop calling me Biri-Biri! Dammit" The last of her voice reach Emi's ears from far away.
Emi looked at the direction the two went, then she looked at the traced towel lying on the floor, made it disappeared, then switched her attention back to strawberry sundae in front of her, already saw that those two are already gone she thought to herself
Maybe Mikoto is interest in Touma? She acted a lot like what Rin would in a way. Having live with the tsundere black haired magus for a long while, Emi made an educated guess, then let it slide for now and back to enjoy her treat, this shop's strawberry sundae is so good!

After paid for the meals, Emi is now on the way back to her dorm.
However, during her walk to the bus stop, Emi spotted a little girl with darker shade of pink hair (compared to Emi's) whose height is roughly the same as her wearing a cute pink dress, there is plastic bags in both of the girl's hands, make her guess that the girl probably run an errand for her parent, seeing that make Emi reminded of herself wearing Illya's clothe go shopping in Fuyuki city's district almost a year ago.
Emi's mind wander for a bit until she hear a loud thud, the girl tripped at something and is now sit on the floor, anything that she was carried was also come out of plastic bags scattered around herself.
By instinct, Emi rush to help the girl. "Are you all right?" she asked while quickly scan the girl with her eyes, seeing that the girl didn't have any bruise, Emi's lip curved up a little.
"Ah… I am all right." Said the girl who picked herself up already, she looked at Emi with her pink eyes, then looked at the scattered items around herself.
"Let me help." Emi crouched and is going to help the girl pick up scattered items… but froze when she saw what it is.
A lot of beers and many packs of cigarette… all of them. How did little girl in front of her are able to buy those things? Is there no age restriction about buying this kind of things in Academy city? No, that's not the real problem here, There is no way little girl go bought something like this on her own…
Putting both of her hand on the girl's shoulder, Emi turn the girl to face her then swore fiercely "Who the fuck ordered elementary school girl like you to buy those damn things!"
No matter how much her body and mind change, Emi will never like those who abuse child, never, and with her now childlike body, her feeling against those bastard is even greater. She has already seen some memories which reside in her now body of Illya's childhood after she has loss both Kiritsugu and Irisviel and that's NOT a pleasant one at all! Maybe the girl's parent isn't that bad at those Einzbern's old hags, but Emi still can't let this slide without trying to help.
The girl, surprised at Emi sudden expression, panickly replied back "N.. no! There is no one ordered me or anything! I live alone! That's all for myself!"
Emi blinked, can't believe what she just heard "What? You're telling the truth?" Seeing the girl nodded, Emi's face lost all color "How.. how come little girl like you have to live alone and need those things?" Emi try to think of any explanation that is possible, then one thing come to her mind, could it be that the girl in front of her put on innocent facade but actually had horrible background like Sakura's? Thinking in that train of thought, Emi's determination become even more fierce, then she will help this girl with all of her power, there won't be another broken bird like Sakura, at least not in front of her!
However, before Emi's own imagination bring more problem like her start planning to 'kidnap the girl and bring her to some safe place then find whoever corrupted the girl and put an end to them' The girl said even more unbelievable thing that manage to stun Emi on the spot.
"S..stop calling me a little girl! I am older than I look and already reached puberty. Heck, I am actually a teacher teaching at a school, mind you!"
Emi froze, her eye lock on the girl with her face show the expression that said 'I don't believe you'
Even without saying a word the girl noticed what Emi's thinking "You don't believe me right? Fine, look at this then." The girl pull her ID card out of her pocket then handed it to Emi who took it reluctantly.
Even after inspected ID card in her hand, Emi had a hard time believe what writing on it, 'Tsukuyomi Komoe' is the girl's name, current occupational is teacher at certain High shcool ,and her age is… how can little girl in front of her is this old? She even used her structural analysis on ID card and found nothing wrong with it. As far as her skill can tell, this is a real Academy city's ID card and data on this is real, the girl is really not a little girl like Emi's thought.
Emi handed ID card back to it's owner and quickly put her hands together in front of her in an apologizing pose. "I'm so sorry! It's all my misunderstanding, I didn't tried to look down on you or anything!"
"It's all right, you aren't the first one who acted like that-" The older gir.. no, WOMAN replied back with no malice nor anger in her tone. "-and there is no teacher that will be anger when some elementary school girl offer her help, that is so kind of you."
Now it is Emi's turn to feel a little awkward. She can't really feel angered though since she just treat woman in front of her in the same manner so, she just replied with a weak voice. "Actually, I am a middle schooler"
"Eh…? Oh right! That's Tokiwadai middle school's uniform. I'm sorry! I didn't…"
"No harm done." Emi cut older woman's voice and back to focus on pick up scattered item.
After put the last can of beer back in the plastic bag, both stood up but Komoe, with both bags now back in her hand, seem to lost balance a little, Emi then spoke "That look really heavy, maybe I should help you carry one?"
"It's fine, my house is only a little away from here. I just bought a little more than usual because these things are on a sale today, I can carry them just fine." To prove her point, she tried to lift both bag to show her own strength… but failed and almost make her trip again if not because of Emi's interfere by took one of the bag to her hand.
"You don't look like you'll really fine on your own, let me help, there is really no problem is your house is close, and I am quite stronger than I look" Emi said then put the bag on her shoulder, while the bag of beers is quite heavy, her body is strong enough to carry it along with her school bag just fine even without using reinforcement.
"Well… Okay." Little woman seem a bit reluctant, but agreed nonetheless "Ah… we didn't properly introduce ourselves yet, my name is Tsukuyomi Komoe, and I am a teacher at certain High school around here. Nice to meet you."
"My name is Emilya Von Einzbern, you may just call me Emi, I am a second year middle schooler at Tokiwadai's. Nice to meet you too."
"Okay. Now that we know each other, follow me this way Emi-chan!, my house is just over there."
Emi really can't resist the urge to giggled, despite being older, Komoe really act like a little girl to her.
XXXXX
After followed Komoe to her house and refuse to accept some reward for her service, Emi exchange numbers as per small teacher's request, so that they may meet later and go shopping for some clothes for themselves, it is hard to find someone with the same size as them (well, with more mature mind anyway) to compare their clothes so Emi agreed to that, after that Emi returned to her dorm before curfew without any more event occur.
Back in her room, with some time to spare, Emi decided to resume what magus normally do, the research on magecraft, granted, she didn't have secluded workshop that would protect the secret of her research if any magus broke in at the moment, but her research isn't that secretive anyway. She didn't tried to reach the root of magic or Akasha like most magus, her research is more focus on using magecraft in a practical way, plus, even if someone in this dimension notice her research she can just cover that easily as her experiment on her esper's power.
Sitting on the chair, Emi close her eye, imagine the object she is going to create in her mind, a hand-size red object that related to her magical life for a long time, having a clear picture of it, she muttered her aria. "Trace on."
The traced object appeared in her hand, a palm sized red jewel, a copy of ruby that Rin use to summon Archer and save Shirou's life that almost ended by lancer's spear early in the 5TH war.
Putting more prana in to red jewel, alter it to give it a desired concept, normally any traced object will be correct by Gaia and disappear after a while, but this jewel is altered to prolong it existence by using prana that stored inside to counter Gaia's interference, the original of this jewel already managed to stored more than 10 year of Rin's excess prana so, despite her non-talent in jewel-magecraft, even a degraded copy have a massive storage enough for more than a year of Emi's excess prana, she has planned to use this as a reserve for her prana in emergency and also for using it with another trick that she managed to acquire during her stay in Clocktower, albeit coincidentally.
It's a little bad that she got dragged to this world too suddenly, that she didn't managed to bring her research along with her, but on other hand, she already assumed that with the current prana inside traced jewel back home, it would last long more than a year so, she still got a chance to go back and continue research on it… If Rin didn't found it and use it on her research or sell it for some cash first that is.
Emi sighed when thought about Rin, even after getting inside Clocktower and get sponsored in her research, Rin really can't drop her habit about money, after knowing that Emi learned to trace jewels that can be used with magecraft, Rin then forced Emi to trace some of that and make some money with it by sold them to some magus cheaply (well, at least when compare to real jewel) to use for their research. Well, who is Emi to blame Rin when think about black haired magus's financial status. Tousaka just want to cover her base in case something happen and she lost her sponsor.
After altered the traced jewel, Emi then stored some of her prana inside it, too bad the conversion rate isn't that high due to her unskilled in jewel magecraft, If she put 100 prana into it, the amount stored inside will be only around 50-60 while the original jewel will store all of that 100, also not counting prana that need for traced jewel to sustain itself. Her target is to somehow make the conversion rate to become as high as possible while also reduce prana need to counter Gaia's interference to be at low as possible, but that need more research. When prana left in her body is as around half of maximum capacity, Emi stopped, this is the amount that she can recover easily with just normal resting for a night. She then put the jewel in secret slot that she made inside her school bag for later use as a trump card of sort, initially she want to make it a pendant and put it on her body so that it will always be with her all the time, but school policy didn't allow wearing accessories that have something too valuable on it (and ruby this big look really valuable), so Emi choose to hide it in her schoolbag instead.
Next thing she do is writing her report on her theory about esper and personal reality in a notebook that she just bought earlier. Well, more of typing than actually writing since it is not a paper notebook but a notebook computer, a conventional method that somehow most magus found disgusting and stupidly ignored due to being modern technology. Luckily her two most frequent contacts in Clocktower like Lord El-Melloi II and Zelretch are quite open about using modern technology so she can make report for them in this format, also using internet she can find many data very easily.
However, even a modern technology has a significant drawback…
'Another bomb in convenient store, suspect a case of using esper power in detonation…' Emi open another news website, after typing her report for hour, Emi got stuck and go looking for some data in the internet, then she got sidetracked and start open website randomly and rarely back to typing the report, looking at the time that it's already late in the night, she decided to stop for the day, took a bath and went to sleep.
She didn't expect in the slightest that the Queen of Tokiwadai, another LV5 esper, will come to meet her face to face tomorrow.

Afternote
That little tease between Touma and Emi is what appear in my mind when I start writing this chapter, so I decided to just go with it.
I also find myself some excuse using mundane swords to block Mikoto's lightning, it has magic resistance! Yay, I just thought that on the spot lol.
About Emi interest in sweet, I just feel the need to put that in! Can't resist that, and it is official in Heaven/Failure that Emi love sweet thing.
I don't really sure about date in the canon, it look like anime and novel use different set of timeline. I will follow the one in wikia though, since it is the most easy to understand for me.
While I don't really like the 'coincidentally met' idea, I really can't think of better way for Emi and Komoe to meet at this early point in the story. It is also a little setting for my Index's arc plan.
Emi react to Komoe's age seem to be exaggerate, I know, but I really have fun writing that! Technically, from what Emi face during Grail war, it is not strange at all for her to develop some kind of PTSD. However, I will admitted that it's just my excuse. I do that for my own fun!
I really want to have tracing skill in real life. I can think a lot of way to (ab)use it to the fullest in mundane life. It is so convenience!
While I don't really have much data since only up to novel volume 10 (Not the New Testament's volume, mind you, the Original Index volume.) are released in my country, I feel the need to add Queen at the early part, since there is no way Misaki won't know about something big like 'new LV5' in Tokiwadai. Hope I will portray her right in the next chapter.
I manage to have a little peek into graviton bomber case at the end. But the next chapter may or may not reach that case. My current plan is about Emi's school life in the morning then introduce her to the other two Railgun's girls in the evening follow by graviton bomber's case, with Emi around, Graviton bomber case gonna end a little different, at least that's what I thought.
Yay, I will add her in to Railgun's group for sure.
Now I wonder who will licensed Fate Kalied Liner Prisma Illya in Thai? I may even consider get a Blu-ray version if it out here. I love that Anime so much!
