A Certain Magical Index: My Reincarnated Girlfriend(s)

"Are you Mr. Nanaya? As per the directive of the Board of Directors, we have prepared the testing process for you."

Seeing someone come out, Kiryu stopped boasting to Enshuu.

He had to admit, boasting to the young loli felt amazing!

Seeing her unwavering belief and admiration for him, Kiryu felt energized...

...

"Yes, thanks a lot." Kiryu nodded.

He only gave the researcher a glance.

No interest at all in a middle-aged man, definitely not a beautiful girl.

Following the researcher, Kiryu and Enshuu walked into the research facility building. As soon as the door closed behind them, a mechanical sound was heard. The walls were filled with countless screens and machinery that were too numerous to count at a glance.

The endless machinery was constantly running, producing an annoying mechanical hum.

Kiryu had a fair understanding of the ability system in Academy City.

Based on the information he knew from his past life, abilities were divided into six levels.

Level 0 (No Ability): The ability is either unmeasurable or extremely weak, making up 60% of all students in Academy City.

Level 1 (Low Ability): Able to barely bend a spoon, has little to no application in daily life.

Level 2 (Weak Ability): Slightly more useful than Level 1.

Level 3 (Strong Ability): Useful in daily life, making things more convenient.

Level 4 (Great Ability): Has tactical value in a military context.

Level 5 (Super Ability): Rare, capable of single-handedly fighting an army.

Level 6 (Absolute Ability): A human who hears divine commands, a level no one has reached yet.

[Personal Reality]: The foundation of ability use... Through ability development, the subject's reality is 'separated' to achieve the ability. It's influenced by the user's mental state and AIM field, directly determining the strength of the ability.

[AIM Diffusion Field]: The field unconsciously emitted by ability users. Each user unconsciously releases an ability similar to their own, very weak and only detectable with precision instruments. It has a significant impact on the 'Personal Reality' of an ability user.

[Talent Scouting]: Secret data controlled by the upper levels of Academy City, indicating that everyone undergoing ability development has a fixed 'talent.' The potential of one's ability is predetermined. The idea that 'effort can evolve abilities' is a lie.

That's about it.

Kiryu had a general impression, but could not remember more details clearly.

As they reached a door, the researcher stopped, as the area beyond was not somewhere he could go. After he explained to Kiryu, Kiryu nodded, held Enshuu's hand, and went inside.

The first thing that caught his eye was the large computer in the center of the room.

Next was a woman working beneath the computer.

She looked to be in her twenties, with no makeup on her face.

Her attire was casual... Some faded old jeans and a worn-out T-shirt after countless washes.

She wore a clean, bright lab coat over it.

"Hello! You're the one who got a direct order from the Board of Directors, right?"

The woman turned and smiled at Kiryu and Enshuu. She had great patience with children, and while walking over, said, "Hello, I'm Yoshikawa Kikyou, and I'm responsible for your level test this time. Although there are quite a few Gemstone ability users in Academy City, this is my first encounter with one... Speaking of Gemstone, two years ago, a Gemstone user came to Academy City and was directly rated as a Level 5, but I wasn't the one in charge of that. What a pity."

'That should be Sogiita Gunha,' Kiryu thought.

But he still wondered when exactly the story was he and how close it was to the start of the original plot.

"I'm Nanaya Kiryu, and this is my little sister, she's here to observe, if that's okay?" Kiryu patted Enshuu's shoulder. He didn't want to mention her by name... since Yoshikawa Kikyou might know the surname 'Kihara'.

In Academy City, anyone with the surname Kihara was definitely part of the Kihara lineage.

Frankly, Kiryu had no grasp on the timeline of the events from the original plot, and never bothered to figure them out because there were just too many, and it was too intricate... Most people simply enjoy the plot instead of memorizing dates, right?

So he had no idea exactly what time period he was in now.

Have the Misaka sisters been created?

Has the Level 6 Shift Project started?

And all the other stuff...
