"What the hell is this?"
"Your uniform obviously."
Accelerator the strongest level 5 in the city stared at her in confusion and disbelief. In front of him was Yomikawa holding up a school uniform from a certain high school.
"Wait a second! Don't tell me you forgot our conversation earlier!"
"…..I remember now."
"Good. Now put it on."
"…tch."
Begrudgingly he had no other choice but to comply.
The next day Touma woke up with a yawn.
After school today he was supposed to go out with his cousin Otohime.
"Onii-chan, Good morning!"
"Good morning Touma!"
"Moring."
Touma looked through his fridge only to discover it was empty.
"Such misfortune…"
"Don't worry about it Touma, Otohime said she has some money on her so she'll buy us lunch!" Index with a thumbs up.
"Shouldn't you have a little shame?" Touma sighed. "Thanks, Tatsugami I'll definitely make it up to you after school."
"I'll be waiting!"
And with that, Touma rushed off to school.
"All right class listen up!" Komoe-sensei spoke out to get the class's attention. "I have a surprise for all of you we're going to have a new transfer student join us!"
The entire class perked up at this statement.
"Another one?"
"Please, please be a cute girl!"
Touma thought back to Nora's transfer. We've been getting a lot of new transfers huh? As Komoe-sensei asked for the student to come in the doors slowly opened.
Touma felt his body jolt in surprise at the site of someone he recognized all too well.
In front stood the strongest esper in the city Accelerator.
"Yo."
A moment later the class erupted in chaos.
In Tokiwadai's library, Misaka Mikoto found herself thinking of the attack on the museum. The crowd turned into statues of salt, her being teleported and the barrier covering the museum.
She kept having this feeling of helplessness.
"What was that?" she muttered
It didn't feel like science instead it felt otherworldly.
"Sigh…what's that idiot gotten himself involved with now?"
Kamijou Touma was awe struck.
Before his class someone he was fighting to near death a few months ago and he wasn't the only one that recognized the other.
"It's you!" they both yelled simultaneously.
The class looked at both of them in surprise.
"Why does Kamijou know every transfer student that walks in here?"
"Another dude…"
"Is Kamijou attracting guys now!?"
"The Kami-yan disease is all-powerful!"
"I'm not! Don't go spreading weird rumors!" Touma protested.
Accelerator clicked his tongue at the site the boy. That level zero bastard also comes to this school!? Why didn't Yomikawa say anything about this!?
"Now, now class let's all calm down." Komoe tried her best to calm her class and turned toward the level 5. "Accel-chan your seat will be at the empty seat at the back in front of Touma-chan."
Ignoring the ridiculous nickname, he was just given Accelerator made his way to the empty seat in front of Touma.
"Hey…" Touma awkwardly greeted.
"…."
Komoe continued. "As you all know the tournament will be held next week so we have to discuss plans for teams of three. So, would anyone like to nominate themselves to participate? You don't have to feel pressured, but our class is going to be the only one participating from our school so it would be great if you did join!" Komoe said with a beaming smile.
The class started to chatter amongst themselves about who should participate.
"I think Kamijou should do it," Aogami spoke out with a grin.
"Yeah, I like the sound of that!" Motoharu added.
Wait, wait, wait stop carrying on like I'm not here!"
"Now we just need two more people." A girl said.
The class simultaneously looked over at Accelerator.
"No."
They were immediately shot down.
"I'll join." Nora nominated himself. "I got to contribute to the class somehow."
"One more person left…"
"I-I'll join!" a soft-spoken voice spoke. It came from the front of the class. A girl with a headband and short bob-cut hair slightly raised her hand.
"Well done everyone! From tomorrow onwards we'll practice our strategies."
The final school bell rang.
As the class started to leave the classroom Touma noticed Motoharu and Accelerator had already left. He, Aogami, and Nora were heading to the front gate when Aogami suddenly gasped aloud.
"T-there's a cute middle schooler in front of our school!?"
Touma turned his attention to what he was talking about and saw his cousin Otohime waving at him.
"Otohime? What are you doing all the way here?
"I'm here for our date of course!"
...
"Kamijou you bastard!" Aogami yelled with hatred as he grabbed his friend's collar. "How many middle schoolers are you dating huh!?"
"Was Misaka-san not enough." Nora sarcastically added.
"Dumbasses that's my cousin!"
"Kami-yan affects family members as well!?"
Students started whispering among each other. At this rate, a rumor was bound to appear tomorrow.
"Such misfortune!"
Touma decided to take her to District 15. A place renowned for being the largest shopping centre in the city.
As they walked through the crowded streets Touma noticed Otohime playing with a golden ring. The ring had a shining radiance surrounding it.
"? When did you get that?"
"Oh, this! Grandpa gave it to me as a present." Otohime said with her usual beaming smile.
"I see…Oh, we're here."
In front of them was a cafe.
Inside there was a calming and comfortable atmosphere with quite a few students inside.
They chose a table in the corner to order.
"Order whatever you like."
"Are you sure Onii-chan?"
"Of course, this place is pretty cheap, so you don't have to worry about the cost."
"I see. Thanks, Onii-chan!"
Touma couldn't help but smile but after ten minutes that was soon turned to fear as he felt killing intent from behind him. The boy immediately broke into a cold sweat.
"Onii-chan do you know that girl that's been glaring at us for a while now?"
The boy turned his head to see a brown-haired middle schooler glaring at him through the café window. Seconds later he was mercilessly attacked by spears of electricity.
