Kamisato Faction

The Kamisato Faction (上里勢力) is a group centered around Kamisato Kakeru, similar yet different to the Kamijou Faction centered around Kamijou Touma.

Principles
The Kamisato Faction is similar to the Kamijou Faction in that it is an unofficial group made up of individuals from Magic, Science and Normal Sides, largely female, and centered around a high school boy with a unique power in their right hand, in this case Kamisato Kakeru, now the bearer of the World Rejecter, who helped them in the past.

However, unlike the Kamijou Faction, who are for the most part independent of Touma and living their own daily lives, the Kamisato Faction are quite dependent on Kamisato, following him, clinging to him and dragging him around with them. Readily offering their power to aid him and following him into battle, they are also more coordinated than the Kamijou Faction usually are.

Though Kamisato willingly makes use of the girls' abilities and lets them drag him around, he believes that this gathering of girls, their behaviour towards him and their abnormal natures, shouldn't logically happen, especially to a 'normal high school boy' such as himself. He believes that their actions are because the power that has been forced on him has somehow twisted them. As such, he dislikes the World Rejecter and hates the Magic Gods whose unconscious desires and wishes created it, considering them responsible for this situation.

Background
The exact time and circumstances in which faction was formed and grew are not fully known, however it is known that the Kamisato Faction was formed by girls who were saved by Kamisato Kakeru during various incidents, likely in November and early December, and subsequently gathered around him.

Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index
On December 3rd, the Kamisato Faction gathered in Academy City, as Kamisato Kakeru went after the Magic Gods he deemed the source of his problems. After he came into contact with Patricia Birdway as he was going after Nephthys, who had sought refuge with Kamijou Touma, and convinced her to let him help her, the faction assembled and moved to help their boss accomplish this goal. The assembled faction were present for his initial attempt at negotiation with Touma and the subsequent attack on the Kamijou Residence. Once Sample Shoggoth was dealt with and Patricia saved by Nephthys's sacrifice, the faction moved aside as the two boys fought each other.
