Talk:Misaka Mikoto/@comment-2600:6C50:437F:F86F:54F2:1EDF:3F2D:9F9A-20190210100225

'''Being dependable and willing to go the extra mile is quite important. Mikoto does this by being proactive, leaving AC, and "trying" to save Touma in WW3. However, in NT, she actually saves Touma several times by getting rid of his leftover emotional baggage from NT9 in NT10 as well as from Five-Overs, Kihara Yuiitsu, heatstroke, Elements, Show Business, fall damage in NT21, etc. In NT13, Touma mentioned to High Priest that Mikoto saved him by helping him relax, especially because she doesn't know magic. This is in comparison to NT12 where Touma quite nearly had a panic attack. In NT17 she even declared she wouldn't mind being a stepping stone, despite convulsing and bleeding from Aleister's redirected lightning curse, if it meant for Touma to complete his objective in returning things to normal. NT18, she wants to get closer to the world he is in and uses the remains of the AAA despite the damage it causes to an esper like her, which leads her to attack the windowless building once she finds out Touma is involved (she also calls him by name, "Kamijou Touma" but to Misaki, not Touma).'''

'''Not to mention, she is willing to throw away her pride, ask for assistance from people she doesn't get along with, and get stronger post-high priest encounter just to try to catch up to Touma, albeit to an obsessive amount where she almost slightly loses her sanity (NT15). If you remember what she said in the sisters arc in old testament, she wanted to protect him and his dream, which for her, means fighting beside him. But after hearing that she is a burden to Touma thanks to the High Priest's masterful trashtalk ability (NT13), she realized she has to seek more power and her previous plans of having Touma share his burdens with her (NT2/3) won’t be plausible anymore until she stands on the same stage as him. The dedication she shows is significant. '''

'''[At any rate, she really was Academy City’s #3. He felt as stable as if he had a lifeline around his waist. This was not just a simple issue of strength. He had not felt like this when working with Accelerator or Aleister. It kind of reminded him of how his understander, Magic God Othinus, felt a lot more reliable sitting on his shoulder than when she was a full-powered god who could destroy the entire world.] NT21'''
