A Certain Ordinary Life

Chap 7: The boy with Misfortune.

Academy City, Monday Morning. 8:30 AM. Somewhere around the school district...

Around the fairly busy school district, which was a district that was essentially a common area for all students that go to a school to gather, there was a spiky black-haired boy wandering around.

School was suspended for the day because of an incident with all the electrical power in each schools generators, this included their back-up generators. This was likely due to yesterdays thunderstorm.

"Ugh... electricity is out... I can't make any food for Index... all the food at the grocery stores are rotten because of the lack of electricity... SUCH MISFORTUNE UWAAAGH!"

Yelled out Kamijou Touma, the wielder of the Sacred Ability known as 'Imagine Breaker'. Due to this he is extremely unlucky, simply because he negates the blessings of gods or in more common words, he cancels luck.

Touma was wandering around the school district and heard some protesting, he wasn't about to get caught in that horde. Unless of course there was a problem that needed to be solved, even then he was getting tired of these situations he was put in.

He very carefully passed by the area and noticed that it was a protest about human cloning in Academy City, this made him think back to the Imouto's.

'Cloning huh... maybe somebody caught wind of the Imouto's? Nah, I doubt that, nothing for me to worry about though since that experiment finished long ago and Accelerator is different. Or maybe he isn't different and he might come kill me right now-'

He had a slightly paranoid look as his mind wandered off like that, he continued wandering through the streets, eventually coming to a vending machine.

Unluckily enough this was the same vending machine that kept stealing his money, no matter what it always would just eat up his money and never give him a drink.

"Please work please please please..."

The Machine made a clicking sound and Kamijou had a bright smile on his face, he jumped in excitement because of it. Though he also slapped the machine out of excitement, this made reverse the sound and eat his money.

"Wha- wait wait no no... NOOO!!! My money, that was the last of it..."

He had a super annoyed and distraught face as he suddenly heard a small laugh, he turned his head to see The Zapper he usually ran into here. He forgot this was where he met her, at least after he lost his memories that is.

"How many times do I have to tell you this machine doesn't work and isn't kind idiot? You just have to give it a little..."

She got the side of the machine before hopping up and down like a boxer, suddenly spinning in 360 degrees immediately kicking the Machine with enough force to make it rattle.

"UMPH!"

Out came Kamijou's change and the drink he wanted, he said a silent prayer to Mikoto's kicking skills as he grabbed the drink and his change.

"U-Um, how many times do I owe you for helping me with this machine?"

Mikoto looked slightly angry, mainly because of how he was being a bit too thoughtful about this.

"Uh, Misaka-"

He got interrupted as Misaka yelled out, electricity sparking from her forehead a bit.

"YOU DON'T OWE ME ANYTHING! I-I mean well, it's not like I won't complain if you give me anything but it's not my fault nor yours if the machine is broken. Why do you even go to it though?"

Touma sat down on the nearby bench, as did Mikoto. He opened his drink and began drinking it, he shrugged with an 'idk' mumble. Mikoto thought something as the two just sat across the bench from each other.
