Principles
Academy City's largest shopping center is located in the school district. Facilities for things such as television and mass communication can be frequently found in the district. The price of land is the highest in all of the districts in Academy City.

The district is the center of fashions, and more people come to the district for fun than actually live in the district.

Christmas Eve Arc
Following the thwarted attempt to kidnap Last Order to use as a hostage against Accelerator's Operation Handcuffs and Director Neoka Norito's involvement being revealed, both Anti-Skill and a group consisting of Kamijou Touma, Index and Misaka Mikoto moved in on his home base. In response, Neoka set off an explosion and fire in his own home, with an escape helicopter ready on the roof, planning to fabricate injuries and have Anti-Skill take the blame so as to halt their investigation and buy time for him to have the incriminating evidence destroyed. However he was thwarted by Touma's group, who bypassed the elevators with Mikoto's ability, immobilized the helicopter and stopped him before he could fabricate the injuries. After a battle on the roof, Neoka was defeated and left to Anti-Skill as the group descended back to the streets where, after a brief encounter with an old ramen chef, Touma was ambushed by Anna Sprengel.

Christmas Day Arc
On Christmas Day, the district was the site of the second part of Misaka Mikoto and Shokuhou Misaki's battle against Anna Sprengel, as she made her way towards Heaven Canceller's Hospital where Kamijou Touma was hospitalized after she infected him with St. Germain.
