School Garden

<MC POV>

"This is where we are supposed to meet them, right?"

"They wanted to see our school, so I said we'd wait for them at the school."

"I hope you don't mind it, Amy-senpai." Misaka said.

"Don't worry about such small things."

I don't know why Shirai is glaring at me like she will eat me in the next second. I suppose it's because of Misaka.

"Well, I think they have come." I quickly said that to both of them.

As we turned, we found Saten holding her wet skirt. We borrowed some clothes from Tokiwadai and went away for the famous pastries shop in the school garden.

"Amy-Senpai, I wanted to ask you, even being level 2, how did you join Tokiwadai?" Saten asked.

"That, oh, I was waiting for that question. Actually, I became Esper just a few weeks ago. And of course, I started from level 1, but as I started to show exceptional talent to increase my level faster, I was evaluated to reach a higher level easily. And more than that, do you know the AIM field?"

"An Involuntary Movement, better known as AIM, is a term used to refer to the phenomenon where an esper involuntarily emits an invisible energy field from their body, known as an AIM Diffusion Field.

It is closely connected to the personal reality that is the source of their ability; it is an ESP's unconscious interference with reality. Differing between espers and usually having microscopic effects, it can only be detected through the use of machines or specialised espers." Misaka said that in one breath.

"Correct, and guess what? I found that I don't have any AIM fields. Through which there's come two more theories: one is that I don't produce any AIM field because of my perfect control over abilities, and the other is that my own abilities might be different from what they see. And the important thing is that I am Gemstone."

"Wow, Amy-senpai, I didn't know that; you would be one of the gemstones." Uiharu said.

After some chitchat, we finally reached our destination. Four of them were deciding which I should choose. Meanwhile, I bought every different dessert; honestly speaking, I like sweet dishes too much.

"Amy-Senpai, Didn't you buy too much?" Saten said.

"Saten, you should know that a girl naturally carries extra space for dessert."

Four of the other people's mouths were twitching because they realised that I was literally showering my money like nothing.

Ring... ring... ring... Uiharu got a call from Komari-Senpai and went away with Shirai.

"Saten, I think we should join Amy-Senpai."

"Well, Misaka-san, I want to go to the washroom."

Just as Misaka turned over towards me, she was shocked because I had finished every dessert and was wiping my mouth like a young lady with manners.

"Misaka, hold on to this bag; I packed pastries for everyone. And there is some trouble with Saten. Call back, Shirai, to come here quickly." Giving that to her, I went towards the toilet.

With *BAM*, I opened the toilet and found Saten was already electrocuted and a pen was flying over her. Suddenly, the pen disappeared. The door behind me closed, and she ran away. The good thing is that Saten didn't have that scary-looking eyebrow. I crouched down and picked her up in my arms, like Gojo was carrying Amanai. Oh sh*t, wrong reference.

I carried her out. Shirai and Uiharu also arrived. Everyone was giving a worried look.

"She is just a little electrocuted; given time, she will wake up in 20–30 minutes. And sorry that I didn't get the person who did this, but I'm sure that she is of smaller height. I think further steps should be handled by judgement."

"Thank you, Amy-Senpai."

_____________________________________________

I carried Saten over to Judgement headquarters.

"She will be fine after some rest."

"Do you have any suspects?"

"Not yet; I suppose the esper has tricky abilities."

After some discussion, Misaka caught the hint of removing one's awareness. They found the girl.

"Here, this is the ability called Dummy Check. It impairs the very awareness that a person is looking at a subject. The only person who has that ability is Miho Jufuku, a second-year student at Sekisho Middle School."

"That's her."

"But she is only level 2, and her test data says she cannot even completely conceal herself with this level."

"I thought we were on the right track."

"I would say that she is the same girl."

"Can I know the reason, Amy-Senpai?"

"First thing, her height. When she grabbed a pen over Saten, I could completely predict that she has a small height. And next her hair, which I picked over Saten clothes, which has a similar colour to her hair." It's not like I can tell them I have haki to observe that girl.

"Uhh... Where am I?"

"Well, Miss Saten is awake."

"Saten, are you okay?"

"Yes, I am fine."

"You should thank Amy-Senpai; if it wasn't for her, you may have become a victim."

"Victim to what?"

"Victim to this." Uiharu pulled out a photo of a random girl with a big eyebrow, sketched by Miho Jufuku.

"Whaaaaaaaaaaaat?" She took out her phone and took a glance at her face.

"My face is still okay. Thank you, Amy Senpai. Tell me when you need my help."

"She is the same girl who attacked me. I saw her in the mirror."

"Amy-senpai also guesses that she is the same person."

"I think I know the reason behind her action."

"Huh!" Everyone stared at me.

"Well, I came to two conclusions: the first is that she is a prankster, and the second is that, judging from his hair bangs, she is trying to hide her eyebrows. Most people generally care about their looks and try to hide anything that looks mismatched to their faces. And it might be possible that someone a little bit related to Tokiwadai has made jokes about her, which makes her take action against them. So, she is mentally unstable; it would be better if action against her is not taken seriously, or it may even harm her, and she will choose the wrong method."

"That was a nice, detailed explanation. Why don't you join judgement?"

Everyone turned to find Komari-senpai listening to us from behind.

"It is a nice offer, but I am sorry; I think that I am not suitable for this job."

"Then, we should start by handling that girl."

Uiharu went and hacked complete surveillance and searched for her. With Misaka and Shirai's suggestions, the area of surveillance was shortened, and she found it quicker. We all went with earphones and waited in different areas.

And I became the bet to lure her. But I have a different idea about her.

As I noticed someone following me, I walked slowly and arrived at an empty alley. I clicked the switch in my pocket, and with that, the complete electric supply of the school garden was cut. And even the surveillance was cut. I even pulled out a signal jammer against Aleister's Nano drone.

*Bzzt*

A spark came behind me, but I easily dodged without looking. She was now. I stared into her eyes and raised my hand above her chest. With a gleaming light from a chest, many silver thread-like things came out and concentrated over my hand.

"A weapon that impairs the awareness of itself, to hide from everyone." Finally, a spectacle formed in my hand.

"Void Weapon: The Introvert Glasses." I obtained the void weapon from her. If you compare void weapons and ESP abilities, they are somewhat similar in terms of personal reality. So, she is the key for me to hide from the Aleister. I didn't think that I would get a spectacle similar to Superman.

I copied the void weapon with UNLIMITED WEAPON WORK and then returned her void weapon. I took the stun gun and electrocuted her to make sure she didn't, even by mistake, remember anything.

After some time, Misaka and others arrived and were worried for me. And after knowing the situation, they waited for Miho to wake up.

After she woke up, the same thing as Cannon happened. Saten teased her, and Miho fell in love with Saten.

____________________________________________________

"Yeah! that are a perfect, charming feature! I really like them. Pffftttttt ha haha ha, sorry, Saten-chan, but that was too funny. What a teasing line."

Saten's face became completely red because I was making fun of her.

"I think it's almost time; I should go to my room."

After saying goodbye, we all went to our dormitory. After entering my room, I started to work on my project to connect myself to the Esper network. I hope that Aleister doesn't have any other means of surveillance. But anyway, I gained the most important thing, which will help me against Aleister, because the void weapon is not only a manifestation of one personal realm but also a completely manifested form of personal realm, which means it is many times stronger than the Miho esper ability itself.
