Tokiwadai Middle School, Current Extract:

Factions
It is not known exactly how many factions there are in Tokiwadai, however, it is known that a Faction (派閥) is an organization that functions like a scholar club.

Factions are outlets for a group of students with similar goals to gather in school, to request for facilities and funding from the school’s board of directors, and to finally strike it big in a national event. Just by this definition alone, maybe a faction isn’t that much different from a school’s social club. Larger factions will get more contacts, funding, and inside information, so most of these outstanding students in their areas of specialties have a faction backing them; the more accomplished the faction is, the better the reputation the faction holds, which means that they have a higher influence and can gather greater power than other factions, even to the point where the strongest factions can have power and influence outside the school.

Shirai Kuroko pointed out that factions "protect" their own positions and thus if a powerful individual outside the school starts gathering members for some purpose, it's likely that a faction or several of them will try to hamper such act. The largest faction in Tokiwadai belongs to Shokuhou Misaki, who is even known as "the Queen of Tokiwadai".
 * Further reorganization will be needed but will just do tide-over measures for now
 * Paragraph regarding the big three: Start with overview, then in descending order

At the start of Mikoto and Shokuhou's first year at Tokiwadai, the school was dominated by the three cliques, the 'big three'. In order of descending size, they were the Sha Clique (沙派閥), the Mikagami Clique (水鏡派閥) and the Hasekura Clique (支倉派閥).

Tokiwadai, Factions TSP: At the start of Mikoto and Shokuhou's first year at Tokiwadai, the school was dominated by the three cliques, the 'big three'. In order of descending size, they were the Sha Clique (沙派閥), the Mikagami Clique (水鏡派閥) and the Hasekura Clique (支倉派閥).

The leader of the largest clique typically gets a nickname like "Queen" or "Empress". One coveted title, given to the leader of a clique that remains the largest for over a year and until her graduation, is Majesty. One who earns the title is said to be guaranteed a successful career, including a spot on the city's Board of Directors. At the time the two Level 5s entered the school, Sha Danshan was said to be closest to the title.

Shin'enkouji Rurikakesu, Chronology - For Thorough Cleaning:
 * 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'.

Academy City Board of Directors:
 * It has been said in Tokiwadai Middle School that a student who achieves the title of "Majesty", given to the leader of a clique that remains the largest for over a year and until her graduation, is guaranteed a successful career, including a spot on the board, though the veracity of this claim isn't clear.

Abilities TSP:
 * Given Tokiwadai's entry requirements, it can be assumed that...
 * Her esper ability is currently unknown, but as a student of Tokiwadai Middle School, it can be presumed to be at Level 3 or 4.
 * Natsumi/Andou: As a student of Tokiwadai Middle School, X can be assumed to be an esper with a Level of 3 or 4, though her ability isn't known.

V17 Notes
Mikagami Clique
 * Multiple previously unnamed characters named but lacking furigana

Urui Aika (閏井葵花) 3rd year A Level 4 esper who produces natural rubber. She can capture enemies or move at high speeds using rubber ropes. She can create rubber balloon barrier that can even fend off Mikoto. She wanted to form her own clique at first but decided to join the Mikagami Clique for health and beauty reasons.

Kazan'in Tsukasa (花山院つカさ) 3rd year A Level 4 esper who can use compressed air to cut, grind, and bind targets. Her ability's raw power is average, but thanks to the extreme precision, she is famous for being one of the best sculptors in the Academy City. She's a classist who has a disdain for Tokiwadai's admittance of plebeians.

Kadosaka Rina (角坂凛奈) 2nd year A Level 3 esper who can create Chitin exoskeleton like that of shrimps and crabs. She can make armor on par of that of battleships in theory, but in practice she can't move with an armor that thick.

Asakura Olivia Moa (朝倉＝オリビア＝萌亜) 3rd year A Level 3 esper who can modify keratin on the surface of her body. The horns and claws created by her power and her hardened skin are so tough that if a truck hits her it would be the truck that's damaged. She has no problem with her looks, and she joined the Mikagami Clique because of her friends.

Sukezawa Sena (助澤世菜) 2nd year A Level 3 esper who can reinforce her bones and teeth by taking calcium supplements and create weapons and armors with calcium in the soil. When she was a child, the lake at her family resort suffered a frog outbreak, which made her afraid of frogs. She also dislikes frog mascots.

Sha Clique

Ouyang Qian (欧陽茜) 1st year A Level 4 esper who can summon and control birds. The number of birds she can control is inverse proportional to the complexity of her order, which is over a hundred of them at the same time for simple orders. She can even share vision with birds, but it would make her terribly motion sick so she doesn't like to do it.

Lin Lihua (林麗華) 2nd year A Level 4 esper who can control the growth speed of plants, and she's particular good with the vines of climbing plants. Her special move is causing an explosive production of pollens to create a sandstorm-like pollen storm, but in order to stay inside the storm, she has to wear her specialized mask.

Hasekura Clique

Yasutoba Suika (安賭蜴吹禾) 3rd year A Level 3 esper who can freely change the pivot and load points of objects she touches with her hands. She idolizes Hasekura, but she's also a troublemaker who often does things without her permission. By the way, she is the tallest student in the school.

Enjou Kasumi (炎乗香炭) 2nd year A Level 3 esper who can control rope-like textiles. She can increase the strength of the material, but the strength is inverse proportional to the surface area. She is a decedent of a family of local gentry that had fallen in status a long time ago but made a comeback in the recent years due to a stoke of luck.

=Arc Article Draft= First Year Arc:

The First Year Arc is a story arc in the Toaru Kagaku no Railgun manga series, covering chapters 131 onwards.

The story focuses on events in Misaka Mikoto's past, specifically her first year at Tokiwadai Middle School, having just reached Level 5.

Background
Note: Start of school year in April

Tokiwadai Middle School
At the start of the school year, Tokiwadai Middle School was dominated by three main cliques, referred to as Tokiwadai's 'big three' cliques; in order from largest to smallest and first to last, they were the Sha Clique, the Mikagami Clique and the Hasekura Clique.

The largest clique was led by second year student Sha Danshan, said to be the closest to the title of "Majesty" at the time. Sha and her clique believed that the gifted had a duty to do volunteer work (such as buying and greening deserts) and its members were dedicated to service, earning them popularity and power. It was suggested that their efforts might have been to thank for Tokiwadai being considered one of the top five schools. It was also suggested that the secret to Sha's popularity might have been the protective desire inspired by her weakness and frailty, having a weak constitution and being nicknamed the Infirmary Empress.

The clique in second place was led by third year student Mikagami Nagisa and of the three, was said to be working the hardest to get results. The Mikagami Clique was apparently made up of students who were mostly drawn to her oil control ability and sought her to fulfill their own desires (such as manipulating fat in their body to enhance their bust or slim them down), with Mikagami only doing this for those who contributed the most to her clique. The clique in third place was led by third year student Hasekura Reiri, the oldest but overtaken by the other two (supposedly without intending to). It was described by one of its members as a carnivorous clique, with members willing to throw others under the bus to succeed.

One student whom Misaka Mikoto would encounter and interact with was Shin'enkouji Rurikakesu (Ruri for short), a second-year student noted to be a free spirit who refused to fit the mold and whom not even the teachers could control, and someone whom the three main cliques had an eye on. Another one was Kessai Kiyoshi, a first-year student who was her first roommate and a member of the Hasekura Clique, for whom she was monitoring Mikoto.

Level 5s
At the start of the new school year in April, two Level 5 espers entered Tokiwadai amongst the incoming first year students, Misaka Mikoto and Shokuhou Misaki, realizing the school's dream of having a Level 5, but also having some effects among some of the students. Among the big cliques, there was apparently a wish to avoid their competitors taking in a Level 5 but also a concern that the Level 5 would take attention away from the clique leader and disrupt the status quo within the clique if they took them in.

Misaka Mikoto achieved Level 5 around the time she entered Tokiwadai, but was apparently only just above the threshold from Level 4 and was at that point the weakest of the Level 5s.

Shokuhou Misaki entered the school from Clone Dolly as part of a deal she made with the Board member with authority over Tokiwadai to suspend support to Shundou Toshizou and Ideal. Shortly after the deal was made, the Board of Directors approved her promotion to Level 5. At the time, she was small and lacked the figure she had one year later, being described by people as looking like a doll.

May
One morning in May,
 * Vending Machine 7116, 10,000 yen bill, walk to school

Later that day following a swimming lesson, Mikoto talked with Kessai Kiyoshi about her earlier encounter, who subsequently explained about Ruri, the big three cliques and the circumstances brought about by the arrival of the Level 5s, as they left the pool and went through the showers and changing rooms. As Kessai departed for her club, Mikoto noticed she had left an accessory behind.

While walking along a corridor and trying to phone Kessai, Mikoto nearly bumped into Kirifu Megumi, who was leaving a room with two other students. As she was walking away, she overheard the trio making disparaging remarks behind her back and decided to respond. Using her powers to stand on the ceiling, she surprised the trio with a shout from behind as they had turned back to look in the direction where she had been before. (Responses), she suggested they could take things outside if they doubted her power, prompting the intimidated trio to flee.

After another failed attempt to phone Kessai, Mikoto was approached by Sha Danshan, initially speaking behind her panda doll, remarking on the accessory Mikoto had. As Mikoto introduced herself, the other two main clique leaders arrived and Mikoto found herself between all three of them.
