First Year Arc
She first appears strolling nearby a freshman Misaka Mikoto who just had her 10 000 yen eaten by a certain vending machine. After telling the level five that 'that thing has a history' and 'this is where she follows tradition', Rurikakesu performs a roundhouse kick to the vending machine while exclaiming 'CHASER!'. She hands Mikoto the tea that randomly came out of the machine. As they walk, she tells Mikoto that the machine accepts coins but not bills, and that it is a demonic vending machine. She jokingly teases Mikoto hoping that she'll get her money back, laughing at the fact that Mikoto fed the machine a whopping 10 000 yen. Mikoto asks that if she knows her name, in which Rurikakesu replies that she, of course, knows since Misaka Mikoto is one of the two level fives who transferred to Tokiwadai that year. She also tells her that Mikoto will find jealousy everywhere even at fancy school like theirs; and stronger powers just make their lives different. She wishes the freshman and level five good luck and leaves. Her name, Shinenkouji Rurikakesu, is revealed when Mikoto talks to another student who describes her as a 'free spirit who refuses to fit the mold and not even the teachers can control her'.
