Chapter 9

 * Mikoto/maids
 * Kii/Mei

Chapter 10

 * More information regarding the Relic
 * Continuation of attack

Tatsuki Mirei:
 * Ability nature
 * Attack send physical bullets every which way by having pass through objects, Gaouin injury - if pass through all - never harm, clothing unharmed though bloodstained, suggests human body only thing can't pass through, if did - esper body not survive - fall to pieces, bullet is esper herself, mystery attack - suicide rush by esper
 * Observe skeleton, flow of muscle, height/build, fat distribution, organ placement, draw accurate image of human body in mind to tear apart/dissect
 * Only supposed to break legs, bloodshed

Tatsuki's ability allows her to pass through non-living physical objects, and she can rush forward at a person at high speed like a bullet to injure them (without damaging their clothes). From observations of the attack and realization that it couldn't pass through the human body, Shokuhou speculated that if it did, the esper's body would not survive and fall to pieces. When using this attack against Shokuhou and Gaouin while showing herself, Tatsuki 'dived' and 'surfaced' from the floor or ceiling, with a circular portal on the surface around her as she did so.
 * Dive, hole, beam between floor and ceiling

Tatsuki has experience (and an obsession) with dissection, mostly on non-living specimens. When exposed and speaking with Shokuhou and Gaouin, she used time bought through conversation to observe their bodies (skeleton, muscle flow, height and build, fat distribution, organ placement etc) to draw up an accurate image of them in her mind, in order to aid her in tearing her targets apart.

Iori Mashiro:
 * Ability nature
 * Not listening - brief connection
 * Water balls not jelly dumplings
 * 0.9% saline, saline similar to human fluids - probably necessary part of power

Iori's ability allows her to control water balls (sometimes referred to as slimes, gel or jelly by others), both many small ones and one larger one. The water balls are 0.9% saline, something speculated by Shokuhou Misaki to be a necessary part of her power.

Mental Out:
 * Shokuhou claim saline water balls similar to human to barely take control - a lie, don't know how do it - a phenomenon won't be able to reproduce once connection breaks, maybe seeing blood, exception to rule
 * Multitool of psychological powers, many options make it complex, physical and mental state influences it a lot, not even Shokuhou knows how far influence can take it - need to use remote to control it, think like a chain that controls a monstrous power, don't know what happen - info ambiguous - only weapons are her words

Shokuhou/Tatsuki conversation:
 * Look like kind of person who would leave even if enemies say not joining forces


 * Can't stand Shokuhou and considers her too much like herself
 * Contacted something shouldn't have
 * Considers the Relic laughable

The Relic:
 * Student council president election's hidden rules, rumored secret win conditions found outside election itself
 * Sketchiest is a Relic said to be hidden in Tokiwadai and give each president a hidden power
 * Those relying on silly rumor called Diggers, worried just in case - how cautious
 * Never good sign when that sort of rumor comes to forefront, especially when same name as source of trouble being searched for, something wrong with school - hiding a terrible secret?

Relic, Draft Notes
{{Scroll box|
 * Update Offline Note Type-Up Pending (June 30th)

Etymology
In a religious sense, a (derived from the Latin reliquiae, meaning "remains") is an object or article of religious significance from the past, such as the physical remains or personal effects of a saint or other similarly venerated person, preserved for veneration as a tangible memorial. Relics are present in Christianity, Buddhism and various other religions. A shrine housing one or more religious relics is known as a reliquary.

The term can also refer to something which has survived the passage of time, such as an object or custom whose original culture has disappeared, as well as an object cherished for historical or memorial value (such as a keepsake or heirloom).

Principles
Tokiwadai Middle School also has a rumor concerning a "Relic", specifically rumored secret win condition for its student council presidential election, outside the election itself - a treasure hidden in Tokiwadai which is said to give each president a hidden power, with people relying on the rumor called Diggers.
 * There is supposedly a close connection to someone in Tokiwadai.

Previous Generation
Not much is known about the unnamed Level 5 behind the Relics. When communicating with Kouzaku, they claimed to be her "Senior" academically and the previous #1 Level 5. With Kokuchou, on taking over when Misaka Mikoto approached, they said a current Level 5 should stopped by the previous. They also expressed a wish for revenge and intent to bring down the hammer and destruction upon the city's law and its ruler.
 * Ch14 traits
 * Kokuchou

Background
The exact time frame which the past Level 5 and the "previous generation" were active, and the circumstances which led to their obscurity/downfall/disappearance and the creation of Relics, are currently unknown.

Tokiwadai's Student Council Election
Ch2 - Student Council Presidential Election (生徒会長選挙)

Candidates
8 candidates, 8 known

 * Shokuhou Misaki (The leader of Shokuhou clique, the largest clique in Tokiwadai)
 * Kamino (The leader of Kamino clique)
 * Kokuchou Mayui
 * Iori Mashiro

 * Tatsuki Mirei

"Senior"
The "Senior" is an unnamed mysterious character, appearing in Toaru Kagaku no Mental Out.

Appearance
Senior is shaped like a cube.

Background
Senior's background is largely unknown. Senior was Academy City's #1 Esper before Accelerator.

Tokiwadai Election Arc
While infiltrating a facility, Kouzaku Mitori encountered a cube that communicated through vibrations, claiming to be her "Senior" academically and the previous #1 Level 5.

Abilities
Senior's esper ability isn't named, but it involves manipulation of vibration. In a conversation with Kamijou Touma one year previously, Shokuhou had mentioned that there was once a Level 5 capable of spatial control, heralded by a chill in the affected area. It hasn't been fully confirmed whether or not they are the same individual as the Level 5 who had a spatial control ability.

One of the election candidates, Kamino, had square-shaped eyes and used a spatial control ability affecting a cube-shaped area, the usage of which provoked a feeling that reminded Shokuhou of the past Level 5. The exact connection between all of these subjects is currently unknown.

Tokiwadai Election Arc
Tokiwadai Election Arc

Background
Structural Possibility:
 * Relics

Around the time of Tokiwadai's student council election in October, (Ref) Shokuhou was investigating a "relic", something leaked from a now-defunct laboratory that supposedly had a close connection to someone at Tokiwadai. Although it had started as a simple investigation, Shokuhou ended up taking out a related institute, with individuals connected to the group involved attacking her in the days afterwards. The group in question was represented by two squares (actually two cubes). This group apparently sought the rumored Shadow Metal, said to exist in cubic crystals, and their activity had apparently increased after an incident in the Daihaseisai which created a large quantity of it.

Increased movement that day had also been seen with other individuals, connected to Academy City's "previous generation", said to be mysterious and rarely mentioned. This generation also apparently included the previous 1st-ranked Level 5 esper, before Accelerator assumed the position, apparently in a cubic form in the present.

 * Putting election stuff here for the time being?
 * Candidates, rules/sequence
 * Recent Events:
 * Daihaseisai (Kouzaku Mitori/Shadow Metal): During an incident on the second day of the Daihaseisai, a large quantity of Shadow Metal was produced, with the day marking an increase in activity by the previous generation and the group represented by two squares, the latter seeking the Shadow Metal, said to exist in the form of cubic crystals. In the same incident, Shokuhou Misaki encountered Kouzaku Mitori, another subject of Clone Dolly, and after a reunion with their mutual friend Dolly, Kouzaku came to carry out a number of investigations on Shokuhou's behalf.
 * Dream Ranker and Astral Buddy (Mitsuari Ayu/Yuuri Senya): Not long afterwards, Shokuhou was involved events surrounding Hokaze Junko's meeting with the disembodied Yuuri Senya and the distribution of Indian Poker, legacies of Clone Dolly's third lab Ideal, with another figure from Clone Dolly manipulating events in the background.
