Everything felt natural and relaxed in front of Chinatsu, yet she couldn't get the hang of it at all with anyone else.
Hearing Mitsuko's answer, Chinatsu couldn't help but sigh, thinking that even with her paving the way, Mitsuko still had a long way to go on her journey to make friends.
The clock in the dorm ticked away, and before long, the two were fully prepared and left the dorm, walking to Tokiwadai for school.
The screens on the giant airships flying in the sky displayed the names of various schools; these were all the schools undergoing the unified [Physical Examination] today.
But while it was called a [Physical Examination], in a city of Espers like Academy City, it actually meant an [Ability Check].
Many professionals would visit the schools to test the students' powers based on different standards. The tests were far less precise than those in Research Institutes or Workshops, as they were primarily aimed at low-to-mid-tier Ability Users.
For example, if Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 Ability Users received an upgrade rating during the school's Physical Examination, they could obtain an official record of their advancement.
Inside Tokiwadai Middle School, students were undergoing their Ability Checks. For instance, Psychokinesis-type Ability Users were required to use their telekinesis to move the needles of precision instruments.
"Next, thirty-eight degrees."
The school teacher spoke calmly to the student sitting in front of them. The student then activated their Psychokinesis, quickly moving the needle.
"Error of 0.2 millimeters. Next."
The teacher reported quickly, and the Record Keeper beside them swiftly logged the results. The student then stood up from their seat with practiced ease to proceed to the next part of the evaluation.
As the two Espers at Tokiwadai with direct offensive capabilities, Chinatsu and Mikoto were assigned to the school pool for a standard destructive power test.
There were no precision instruments at school to test Mikoto's other abilities. If the large pool wasn't filled with water to act as a buffer, even a simple destructive power test would be impossible.
"Um, which of you will go first..."
The Record Keeper stood far away, terrified of being accidentally injured by the two Espers' attacks, so they chose to speak to Chinatsu and Mikoto through a remote speaker.
Chinatsu and Mikoto turned to look at each other, then both raised a hand and swung it toward the other, shouting in unison.
"Rock... Paper... Scissors!"
Mikoto's rock met Chinatsu's paper. The winner was clear and undisputed. Chinatsu made a "go ahead" gesture to Mikoto, who could only step forward, huffing in annoyance.
She fished an Arcade Coin out of her pocket and took a flicking stance toward the pool in front of her.
With a crackle of electricity converging at her fingertip, the Railgun—which shocked all the Record Keepers present—shot straight toward the pool.
Boom!!!
The water in the pool was instantly blasted into the sky as if an earthquake had occurred. Some freshmen were even so frightened they stumbled back and fell onto their butts.
But it wasn't over yet. One Railgun after another shot from Mikoto's fingertip, continuously blasting the pool water into the sky.
