Chapter 1: the Isekai and the Material

Today was the 16th of July 2005, (Why 2005? Is it a reference?) -Yep, sure is. It's a reference to my other story.- summer vacation will soon begin for the 80% of Academy City's total 2.3 million population.

A familiar scene plays out. Uiharu Kazari, Saten Ruiko are sitting on the bench, eating crepes from a newly crepe shop, which attracted lots of people due to free gekota merchandise. With them are Misaka Mikoto and Shirai Kuroko, who are doing what they usually do. That is to say, Kuroko being as perverted as she usually is and Misaka trying very hard not to send a lightning strike down at Kuroko right there and then. There's a group of children with their tour guide after all.

"Hey, Uiharu." Saten starts telling her friend about something "I've recently heard a rumour about a rank 0 Level 5 in Academy City. Apparently, their existence has been kept a State Secret until now but a couple of days ago some files leaked and it's now being decided if the existence of rank 0 should become public knowledge or not. Of course, nobody has ever seen the leaked files, it's just that someone posted a detailed story of how they got their hands on the files. They said they'd post them the day after, but they didn't. I guess either this was a prank, or they were apprehended by someone."

"Saten-san." Uiharu sighs before smiling at the rumour gathering girl "It's always you and your silly rumours."

The rumour was neither silly nor a prank, however. In fact, it wasn't even a rumour at all! The person in question was sitting a couple of benches away from the group and observing Misaka Mikoto.

"So that's what the face of all Level 5s looks like when she's being herself, huh?" the rank 0 quietly mumbled, their voice sounding female but a bit tomboyish. "Still, her teleporter friend sure is perverted, isn't she?" the rumoured person thought to themselves. "Does she know about the Level 6 Shift project? Or is she even better than me at blending in and hiding my true feelings?" the rumoured rank 0, who would be best described as a 17 year old girl, who wore some black Jamaican shorts, a grey long-sleeved hoodie with the hood up and some black running shoes with short white socks, had a C-cup chest size, black eyes, straight medium brown hair, which was down and was about half the length of Misaka's, and 173 cm tall by anyone who would actually notice her presence in the vicinity, paused her trail of thought to take another look at Misaka Mikoto.

"Nah, she couldn't know. If she did, she'd probably go on some sort of suicide mission against Accelerator and the Board of Directors." she quietly sighed "I truly hope Accelerator has a good reason for doing this though. The only time we met was when he did his usual killing Sisters business one night. He really was surprised that I actually exist, and I was equally surprised that he hasn't gone mad while doing the killing business. He and the Sisters who arrived for clean-up did say that this was normal for them and that I shouldn't bother. I guess I'm missing some part of their story, huh. Or was I too quick to believe them? Oh, well. Unlike him, I can't see myself killing people unless innocents are in danger or I have to use force for self-defence though." she quietly sighed again "I don't think he knows that I'm actually stronger than him, otherwise he'd probably spend most of his time trying to kill me for that instead of doing this Sisters business. Rank 3 sure looks happy though. I probably shouldn't be the one to break the news to her. In fact, it seems I'd have to hide my knowledge about the whole ordeal in order to have any chance to befriend Mikoto." the rank 0 thought to herself.

*Boom*

There was an explosion at Isobe Bank and several men, who appeared to be robbers stormed outside. The Railgang and Kuroko split up with Kuroko going to confront the robbers and the others running up to the tour guide girl. Our rank 0 overheard their conversation and noted that one of the children was missing. She was still seated at the same bench with the same unfazed expression in a neutral position. "Should I go and help?" she wondered "Nah, there's a Level 5 rank 3 Electromaster nearby and a Level 4 Teleporter from Judgement on the scene. I don't think they need any help and I do want to see them in action." she quietly chuckles and wonders if she shouldn't have taken the extra time this morning to find her Judgement armband so as to help in case of an emergency. She decides to look around, not moving an inch from her spot, to see if she might be needed after all.

Suddenly, she notices that a strange device appeared on the back seat of the robbers' getaway car, which wasn't there before. She has a good eye for little details and she sure didn't miss out on this one. "Bad sign." she thinks "Could this be a bomb?" she clutches her Judgement armband in of her hoodie's pockets "This can easily get dicey." she continues her pondering.

Meanwhile, Kuroko was done apprehending the three robbers one of whom was a Pyrokinesist. "His abilities were decent but somewhat average. A Level 3 probably" both Kuroko and the rank 0 thought to themselves.

The fourth robber was promptly stopped by Saten from kidnapping a little boy. "Oh, so that's where the boy was. Interesting." the rank 0 thought to herself.

Saten received a kick to the face from the fourth robber. "Ouch." was the only thing that our rank 0 thought to herself. Misaka was enraged by such poor treatment of her friends though. The robber evidently was panicking, as he didn't notice the strange device in the back of the getaway car. From the look on Misaka's face, our rank 0 guessed that she will 'apply' her ultimate move in order to stop the unfortunate robber. (Good psychological analysis right there.) "Yep, not good. Even if it's not a bomb, a coin going around Mach 3 might not be the best way to immobilize a car with such a device. Though I'm not gonna stop her from using it, I really want to see it in person and up close." mumbles the rank 0, while standing up and dusting herself. Sure enough, the robber driving the car charges Misaka, who is standing in the middle of the street with her signature move ready.

She fires the coin, while Kuroko is pointing out to the Pyrokinesist that this is indeed the Tokiwadai Railgun girl in her usual fashion. The car is flipped into the air by the ultimate move and is spinning. Something starts glowing white on the back seat of the car. "Double not good." says a new face, who was wearing a grey long-sleeved hoodie and had a Judgement armband on her right arm near the shoulder, the hood was down. She seemingly teleported herself into the middle of the road between the spinning car and the rank 3.

The fourth robber suddenly appears next to the Kuroko and the other 3 robbers. "Was he teleported? By who? How?" Kuroko thinks and is visibly confused.

Aoi doesn't even have to hold her hand up as the car starts to ignore the laws of physics and flies upwards instead of forwards. It also flies much faster than it did before, visibly glowing red. If someone measured the car's speed, they'd find that it was going at the speed of around Mach 32.

Everyone apart from the mysterious newcomer was stunned.

*KABOOM*

A couple of seconds later a big and very loud explosion could be heard.

"Figures, whoever put that device in the back of the car knows how to make things explode." the newcomer says nonchalantly and whistles audibly "That was probably a good couple of megatons there. I'm guessing it's not an actual nuke though. If it was, everyone in Academy City would be blinded by the flash for a day."

Everyone stands where they stood, dumbstruck by what has occurred right in front of their eyes. They just stood and glanced back and forth at the mysterious person and the place of the car's explosion.

"Now, that won't do" says a male robotic voice. Some sort of big mech appeared about a kilometer above the recently robbed bank. The body appeared sleek, albeit metallic. You could just barely see its blue... irises? The colour of the body itself was pearl-white. It pretty much looked like a humanoid dressed up as a Gundam.

"So, are you the culprit behind this?" the newcomer girl questions loudly with a semi-bored tone so she could be heard by… whoever the robotic voice belonged to.

"How dare you throw away my beautiful~ bomb~?" the male robotic voice starts talking… weirdly. "Whoever it is, the guy's a creep." thinks the rank 0 as she smirks and takes out a… coin? (Is this what I think it is?) Sure enough, she holds the coin with her right hand between her thumb and index finger as if she wants to fire off Misaka's ultimate move, except she puts her right arm on top of her left, the arms touch each other at the wrist. Electricity starts to for small but concentrated arcs around her right arm and the wrist area on her left.

The voice coming from the mech continues his exposition and doesn't notice what's happening below him "I am Piccario of the Metaloid Race! This world is min-"

He is very rudely interrupted by a small projectile going full-on 60 Mach. He had no chance to react there.

"So, Mister Piccario of the Metaloid Race, who now has a neat decorative hole in the chest area, are you done?" deadpans the mystery girl, while taking a look at her fingers with a bored expression, with an even more bored tone than before. The Metaloid clutches his chest in pain, something blue is coming out of the wound.

"I guess he's not a mech pilot but a full-on robot, huh?" the mystery girl wonders out loud and is heard by everyone, except the robot in question

"Name yourself, whelp!" he shouts angrily and while in severe pain.

"I will blow this city to smithereens myself!" he shouts even louder and points his index finger at the ground, charging an attack.

"Now, now that won't do" she calmly states.

"*ahem*" she coughs to gain attention.

"My name is Suzuki Aoi, but I'm better known by my 'work name'" she does the air quotes with both hands "and position" she states calmly and pauses.

"I'm the Level 5 rank 0." she proceeds to state her identity.

Everyone, except the dumb looking robot, gasps loudly.

"Material." she finishes. The moment she finishes her last sentence Piccario is no longer moving.

He's dead.

The energy in front of his finger dissipates.

"Welp, I sure can stop those Metaloids' hearts… or should I call them reactors?" Suzuki Aoi wonders out loud before addressing all the people on the ground with her. Everyone's minds are currently blank or are trying to process what happened now.

"Please don't try to arrest me for killing a uh… otherworldly robot?" she starts to wonder again before continuing "Or whatever that thing was. I mean you can try to arrest me, but I think I still have enough juice left to outrun anyone in Academy City. Also, I do have special permission from this city's Board of Directors to deal with crises threatening the integrity of Academy City appropriately. A terrorist attack with an explosive payload higher than many nukes permits me to use deadly force, don't you think?" she explains but with a neutral tone that certainly doesn't show boredom.

"Never thought that I would have to use that special permission though." she says and sighs. After which she catches the Metaloid, who would be around the size of an Atlas mech, using her esper power and slowly makes the body descend onto the part of the road, where there is a small ravine caused by Misaka's Railgun is. Aoi turns his body to the right side with his face facing the row of buildings and the bank and his feet facing the group and her. Otherwise, it wouldn't fit on the street.

*Poof*

The body lands somewhat gently.

"I thought he'd be smaller." Suzuki wonders out loud. She once again uses her power to create support beams, which are directly connected to both the road's asphalt and the robot's body. She rubs her hands in quick succession signalling that she is done.

"Did you call Anti-Skill?" Aoi asks with her neutral tone intact. The rank 0 looks around to see if anyone nods. She notices Uiharu nodding to the best of her ability despite her bafflement by this entire scenario. Aoi nods back. She takes out her expensive looking smartphone and calls someone.

"Hey, Anti-Skill, it's Aoi." she starts in a neutral tone "Can you bring something that can support a weight of around 100 tons? It's a body and it's right outside Isobe Bank. The dimensions are around the same as an Atlas mech."

She hears out the person on the other end of the line and is now somewhat angry.

"Look," she seemingly stops the Anti-Skill official on the other end with her very annoyed tone "IT IS NOT A JOKE OR A PRANK." she says each word separately, emphasizing the seriousness of the situation.

"I prevented a code Crimson a couple of minutes ago and I swear on the lives of everyone living in Academy City that I am not lying to you." she continues in speaking a very annoyed tone.

"DO YOU UNDERSTAND?" she says each word separately, while absolutely fuming with anger, and turns her phone on speaker mode as she is mentally ready to hang up and slam the face of the person on the other side onto their desk.

"Understood!" stutters the male voice coming from the speaker "We'll be on the scene in 20 minutes!"

Aoi hangs up after which she sighs heavily. She smiles and comes up to Misaka, who is still aghast after the whole situation. Aoi comes up to Mikoto and puts her own left hand on Misaka's right shoulder. Suzuki waits for Mikoto to notice her before she starts talking to her kouhai.

"Next time don't aim a Railgun at a car with a 'nuke'" she does an air quote with her free hand "in it, my Level 5 colleague." she gives out advice with a smirk on her face and chuckles. Aoi then walks over to her bench and seats herself comfortably, spreading her arms wide, and looks up at the blue sky.

Everyone just stands there for another minute before shouting out in surprise.

"EEH?!" Kuroko, Saten, Uiharu, Misaka, the four robbers and even the tour guide shout out, finally voicing their amazement. The children are also surprised but remain silent.

Kuroko cuffs all four bank robbery perpetrators to a nearby pole, with the four of them not resisting in the slightest after seeing the rank 0 in action.

The Railgang then makes their way to the comfortably seated Aoi, who sighs at their arrival.

"I won't disclose anything until Anti-Skill arrives so make yourselves comfortable. I don't really like to stop my explanations halfway and I do need to ask them how much I should tell you about my power. It's a bit of a State secret after all." Aoi explains in a neutral tone.

"Bu- bu- but!" the urban legends hunter says, as she is visibly mesmerized by the rank 0

"How did you even manage to keep your existence under wraps for so long?!" asks Saten, while looking more excited than ever before.

Aoi doesn't wish to deal with that nonsense and 'pulls an Accelerator' on the gang. She blocks out all sound by making sure that no sound waves enter the near vicinity of her ears. Unlike Accelerator, she does tell them that she basically put them on mute and that them being very hyped about the whole situation won't help her answer their questions. Uiharu, Misaka and Kuroko stop trying immediately and sigh, while Saten continues asking things for another half a minute after which she complies and joins the group as they try to help the tour guide, children, bystanders and even the robbers deal with the shock. Aoi regains her hearing ability after everyone has left her alone.

After about 6 minutes the members of Anti-Skill that were initially called in for the robbery arrived. They too thought that the whole mech thing was a joke. It really wasn't. Aoi suddenly hears Misaka start talking about her. Misaka points in Aoi's direction while explaining what she understood herself to a blue haired Anti-Skill officer. They are standing next to the closest bench to Aoi, while everyone else is either taking care of the robbers or examining the weird robot. Aoi waves back letting herself be known. "Yomikawa Aiho and Misaka Mikoto, huh. Two very interesting people alright." Aoi ponders silently.

"Did you know that all this time we've had Level 5s, Yomikawa-sensei? I'm not even sure if Suzuki-san is even in the same league as us 7 anymore! Heck, even Accelerator with all his fame stands no chance against her! Tell me, Yomikawa-sensei!" demands Misaka.

"I don't know any more than you do." replies Yomikawa "I've seen the name 'Suzuki Aoi' pop up in our database a couple of times but I didn't and still don't have enough clearance to access information that secretive."

Misaka sighs. Meanwhile, Aoi stands up and starts walking up to the pair of them. She figures she's done enough listening and judging by Misaka's tone she believes that everyone has calmed down sufficiently to not collectively shout and demand info from her.

"What is code Crimson, Yomikawa-sensei?" asks Mikoto "The highest alert level in the city is Red, isn't it?"

"Well…" Yomikawa tries to think of a better way to put it "it's-" before she's interrupted.

"If code Red means grave danger to the city, code Crimson means that if something is not done to the immediate threat, in five minutes or less there will be no city." Suzuki explains as she comes in close enough, so she doesn't have to shout unnecessarily. Misaka is rather surprised to see Suzuki come to them.

"The bomb that was in the car, which you thankfully didn't hit dead on but still managed to trigger, Misaka-san," she sends a half-serious glare at Mikoto "was around 2 megatons. If I didn't step in time it would've blown up at ground level and the result would have been disastrous." explains Suzuki.

"That was code Black!" exclaims Yomikawa, visibly somewhat shaken by the unexpected news "We've only heard about the mech-robot from our superiors! Not the bomb!"

""Yeah… I guess I forgot to mention that…"" Aoi and Mikoto reply and nervously laugh in sink.

"Now that you mention it, the robot guy was probably also code Black…" Suzuki continues to explain "His finger pointing attack did have enough power to wipe the whole city… I think…" Suzuki says and nervously laughs again.

"Why did you report it as code Crimson then?" Yomikawa asks.

"Yeah… I kind of forgot we had a code Black…" Suzuki responds "I mean saying: "We have a code Black, requesting reinforcements"" Suzuki says as she does her best impression of an operator at Anti-Skill's calling centre, the impression was pretty spot on "isn't really a good way to ask for help since the record response time is a minute. Even assuming whoever answers the call, is able to stop the threat in a second, that's still only four seconds to arrive on the scene! You'd need a Level 5 Teleporter, who can open up portals and some kind of big gun to deal with someone so dangerous. Or in the case of a bomb that constitutes code Black, just a Level 5 Teleporter."

"Isn't 'some kind of big gun and a Level 5 Teleporter' exactly what you are?" asks Misaka, her face showing that she is unconvinced. Suzuki sighs.

"Look, you're both on the list of people that will get my full personal information later anyway since you're members of Anti-Skill and the Level 5 club respectively. There's no need to ask me to elaborate on my capabilities in such a roundabout way, Misaka-san." deadpans Aoi.

"Oh, so you noticed?" asks Misaka.

"Please do tell me…" sparks start flying as Misaka's twitches and she is visibly angry "How can you do use my own ultimate move better than me?!" Misaka shouts. She was about to send a barrage of electricity somewhere, but it doesn't go further than two centimeters from her body. Misaka notices that Aoi is holding her hand out and has a look of disappointment on your face. Aoi sighs.

"Seriously, if espers truly grow more and more mad the stronger we get, why am I the sane and responsible person?" Aoi wonders out loud.

"Oh… right. I forgot about that." Suzuki seemingly answers her own question internally. The two stare at each other for a couple of seconds. Meanwhile, Yomikawa figures that she won't be able to stop either of them, but she tries anyway.

"Misaka! Behave yourself!" Aiho orders the younger Level 5 and sends her a glare. Mikoto has no choice but to comply and after another 10 or so seconds she finally calms down. Aoi sighs once again. (Can we call her 'A Certain Sighing Esper'?) That title's already taken, you know? (Oh, right. It is)

"You really needed to get that of your system, needn't you?" Aoi says as she puts her hand down after which Misaka promptly checks if her abilities are still working by trying to magnetise an aluminium can and pull it towards her. Misaka sighs.

"Thanks for not putting a limit on my capabilities forever." Misaka thanks the city's saviour.

"You're welcome. But if you do something dangerous or impulsive again, you might not be so lucky" Suzuki states her warning.

"Yes, yes" Misaka replies.

"Also, what did you forget about?" Misaka genuinely wonders out loud in a rather calm tone. Seemingly out of nowhere the taller girl approaches Misaka and pats her on the head.

"You're my young adorable kouhai along with all the other level 5s, except for Mugino Shizuri and maybe that rank 6 person-" she removes her hand and bursts out laughing.

Yomikawa and Misaka look puzzled. Aoi notices that and stops laughing and wipes off a tear.

"Well, I was more mysterious and unknown than the rank 6 person." Suzuki chuckles "That was the status quo until today. And now our roles are switched" she giggles as she says the last part. Yomikawa and Misaka see where she's coming from but still have a surprised look on their faces. They never expected someone, who is the rank 0 Level 5, to find such silly coincidences funny.

"Anyhow, my ability is called Material as you probably already know." Suzuki starts her explanation with Yomikawa nodding calmly and Misaka excitedly. "I swear she's still a child on the inside. I mean, that would explain her gekota obsession." Suzuki thinks to herself, while she continues.

"But what you don't know is everything else. You see, my ability works by influencing the building blocks of the universe. Not the atoms or quarks, no. The base Hyperrectangles, as I like to call them since it's the shape I see when I try to look for the most basic building of the universe, are pretty the basis for everything I've done and could have done today. I tried explaining the whole theory to Academy City's brightest minds in simple terms a few times. But they were unable to figure anything out." she pauses and chuckles "I guess my and that rank 7's logic when using our ability is somewhat similar. He just uses 'GUTS' as an excuse for anything he does with his super strength, while I, as a fellow Gemstone, use my logic and smarts in a way no one is able to comprehend.-"

"You're a gemstone?!" Misaka exclaims, while Yomikawa looks rather surprised.

"Sure am." Aoi continues and is completely unfazed "It's pretty easy to figure out. If I wasn't a Gemstone, I probably wouldn't be Suzuki Aoi anymore. Think of why Accelerator doesn't remember his name for a moment." Suzuki says with her face turning very serious. Misaka and Yomikawa realize their mistake and their realization is written all across their faces.

"Heck, I might not have even been 'Material' anymore" Suzuki continues "I might have been called 'Nano-Particle' or something stupid like that." she says and sighs with her face visibly relaxing.

"Anyway, I can control those basic Hyperrectangles and use them to do two main things. My so-called two sub-abilities. Namely 'Fluctuate' and 'Restructure'." Suzuki pauses for a moment so her two conversation partners can process and remember what she said, she doesn't like repeating herself.

"Any questions other questions so far?" Suzuki asks. Misaka and Yomikawa shake their heads.

"'Fluctuate' might as well be a fancy name for Teleport, but fundamentally they are very different. Fluctuate is more akin to quantum fluctuation but still somewhat off." Suzuki pauses as she noticed that Misaka put her hand up. Suzuki nods, signalling Mikoto to say her piece.

"How do you cancel out the antiparticles generated?" Misaka asks with enthusiasm.

"I don't. There's no need" the rank 0 replied.

"Wha- WHAT?!" Misaka is aghast, Yomikawa is very surprised by the fact. Before the pair say anything else, however, Aoi motions them to not interrupt.

"I was going to get to that in a second…" Aoi sighs.

"I've said previously, basic Hyperrectangles are the basis for all matter, right?" to which Misaka nods excitedly, turning more and more into Last Order, with Yomikawa's expression remaining unchanged "That means that they are the building blocks for EVERYTHING" she stresses that word "from matter to anti-matter, even rank 2's Dark Matter, everything is made out of this 1 neat little building block." she finishes. "Even the crazy carbon copy of esper powers that is magic is no exception" she thinks to herself. The two if front of her are not ready for THAT revelation.

"Now, 'Restructure' is basically everything else that I do or can do. I can literally make gold out of thin air for example" she says as she literally creates a kilogram gold bar in front of her two listeners.

""WHAT?!"" Aiho and Mikoto are aghast. This was the last thing they expected.

"I can also do the opposite" Suzuki continues as the gold bar and a nearby falling leaf literally vanish into thin air "My range is… about as big as my AIM field. I think they measured it at about 40 kilometres…"

""It covers the entirety of Academy City from the centre to the outskirts and more?!"" Aiho and Mikoto are aghast again. Accelerator seems like a joke at this point.

"Yep, I'm the city's best self-defence mechanism alright." Aoi says proudly and nods.

""And you said code Black is useless?!"" Mikoto and Aiho continue to be absolutely baffled by this demi-god in front of them.

"Well, not everyone is me." Says Suzuki with a cheeky smile.

"Give me a break…" Mikoto says as she sighs and understands the MASSIVE power gap between her and her Level 5 senpai. Aiho doesn't say anything but her expression is no different from Misaka.

"Essentially, if the scientists figure my ability out and replicate it on a larger scale, they can stop thinking about playing god and actually become one." Suzuki says as she approaches the two and signals them to lend an ear as she starts to whisper.

"I'm not stupid enough to let that happen though. I will do anything I can to stop such a disaster from happening." Suzuki whispers and moves away from the two.

"*ahem*" she coughs and continues speaking normally "I wish the wonderful scientists of Academy City the very best of luck!" she exclaims to 'no one in particular' with her intent being painfully obvious.

"And that's the reason why I'm the rank 0 Level 5. My power can scientifically twist the world to one's liking!" she says the TL;DL (Too Long, Didn't Listen) version of what she has already said previously.

They hear rumbling. The robot was being placed onto a carry platform of sorts, with a couple of dozen helicopters hovering above. Suzuki checks her watch and sees that they've been chatting for roughly 10 minutes. "I guess they beat the 20 minute estimate" Aoi thought to herself.

"Please undo your struts!" she heard a male Anti-Skill officer shout for her assistance. Aoi promptly does so without having to even wave her hand. Anti-Skill quickly secures the robot to the platform using straps and start flying away.

"Before parting, I have one more thing to say. My ability mostly falls into the Active class, its only Passive application is similar to Accelerators, except when his Vector control redirects everything close to him, my ability disintegrates everything I come into contact with. It also comes on and off switch. All in all, I'm pretty vulnerable when it comes to its subconscious use." Suzuki says and waves goodbye before 'Fluctuating' away.

""Yeah…"" Misaka and Aiho deadpan. Either she's joking or their standards for 'vulnerable' are miles apart. Given what she's said before it's probably the latter.

Misaka also waves Yomikawa goodbye and goes over to check on her friends.

Misaka joins up with Railgang and all of them share the tired look.

"Long day today, huh?" Misaka asks, while simultaneously trying to cheer up her friend and two new friends. They would usually reply with words but only nod this time.

"Good job on saving the boy, Saten-san." Misaka says with a warm smile. She probably really needs encouragement the most out of them all.

The gang discuss everything for a bit but decide to split up and go home their separate ways. Every one of the four girls needs some alone time right now. Misaka walks for a couple of blocks until she hears something.

"Hey." Misaka hears a familiar voice inside her head. She looks around for a bit only to NOT find Suzuki Aoi.

"I'm not actually with you, I'm using the basic Hyperrectangles in a way reminiscent of the rank 5, whom I think you know all too well…" says Aoi in Misaka's head and Misaka feels a shiver down her spine.

"Is this unblockable?" Misaka thinks expected the other side to hear.

"Yep~" Aoi says in Misaka's head, while sounding eerily similar to Shokuhou. Misaka is not liking this.

"I don't like to use this aspect of my ability at all. In fact, I don't think anyone except me, and you know about this use. I haven't even used it for anything other than to hear the true thoughts of someone who I believed was up to no good. Nevertheless, please don't tell anyone. This can have serious ramifications."

"Okay…" Misaka thinks and mentally sighs.

"I will be ending the 'mind call' any second, but I need to say something first" Aoi says and chuckles slightly.

"Mikoto-chan, let's be friends!" says the Misaka's 'inner voice' in the most sincere and innocent tone possible.

*Fwooh* This one took a while to write. I recently thought up this esper power, Material. From what you've read about it, it is very OP -at least when compared to everything else in the Toaruverse at the start of the Level Upper Arc- but somehow it seems very plausible and is an ability that is based on actual science -even if the base Hyperrectangles are a bit of an asspull- that actual fits with the general theme of the Toaruverse -Or that's what I think at least-.

(Suzaki is OP. Very OP. How do you plan to challenge her?) Answer: I guess I'll have her enemies be able to negate parts of her esper powers or block them outright. I won't give her a nerf like Accelerator got in the canon.

As you can see I love writing detailed stories rather than expansive ones. So expect big chapters, maybe comparatively slower updates -depends if you're comparing me to people who write a chapter every 3 days and never stop or the people who write a chapter and drop the story really-.

I'll probably do a chapter 2 some time soon, but we'll see.

This is also my second ever published story -not asking for any leeway with that though-.

P.S. The best ways to support stories, in general, is to is participate in reviews, as well as follow the author/story. Personally, I tend to look at the number of reviews any particular story has to see if the story has engaged many. Please consider giving this story a review if you liked it.

One more thing: A message to all the talented fan artists out there. If you liked the story and want to share your 'crappy' -everyone shuns themselves a bit, right? I do it too- fanart, please feel free to PM me and send it to me. I can even pay you for it if you like but only if you can link me some sort of proof of your ability and that it's actually you and someone else. We'd probably have to discuss the amount I pay and where I pay through PMs.
