Railgun Online Book 4: Alicization Beginning

Crimson Automaton Koloktos

The Song displayed is Ballad of the Goddess in it's Smash Bros format from Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword. It is the Master Sword's main theme in Railgun Online when performing Full Armament Control. And from looking at the picture included (if wattpad will show it) Guess whose coming back!!

"Sempai?" Mikoto wheezed. "I know this sounds like a childish question. But are we there yet?"

"Teehee!" Ashley looked back at Mikoto. "Getting tired already Misaka-chan?"

The master and student were currently traversing up a narrow ledge on the side of a cliff where tons of massive waterfalls were falling, leaving foam at billowing up at the bottom of the falls..

Mikoto was carrying both hers' and Ashley's packs on her back.

"You know.. this feels a lot like one of those mythic kung fu stories where the master saddles the student with all the work to make a point or something." said Mikoto. "This wouldn't happen to be one of those would it?"

"Well.... I'm not teaching you Kung Fu." said Ashley, sticking out her tongue playfully.

"That didn't answer my question." Mikoto wheezed impatiently.

"Come along Misaka-chan.. we're almost there." said Ashley. "There we go.. the entrance.."

They were standing on a large campsite.. overlooking a cliff.. there was a stone ceiling above the  cliff campsite.. and from the ceiling, fell a massive waterfall, which would conceal the campsite from those watching from afar. It was like a room with water for walls. On the far side of the campsite was a large dark cave.

The campsite itself had everything, sleeping bags, barrels full of supplies and a large burned out fire pit.

"It's a little tough to start fires in here because of the moisture from the waterfall, but with a little bit of Sacred Arts you can manage a good blaze." said Ashley as Mikoto groaned and dropped both packs.

"So.." Mikoto panted.. dropping to her knees, fatigued. "Sparring exercises? Getting reacquainted with Secret Sword Art initiation?"

"Shower!" said Ashley. "It's late, and you really exerted yourself. Go and refresh!"

Ashley pulled out a sleeping bag and unzipped it. "This one looks good.. you can just undress and wash yourself in the waterfall.. nobody knows about this place but us.. so no male peepers around!"

Mikoto did just that, undressing, and walking into the waterfall covering the cliff face, bathing in it's cool water before walking out and looking for her clothes.. she found that they were hanging from a piece of rock, high up in the edge of the ceiling.. she jumped, attempting to reach it.. but there was no way she could jump high enough. She frowned and attempted to wall run up the wall, but the rock was so slippery, she fell on her bare back painfully. "What!?"

"Step one of your training." said Ashley. "You'll have your clothes back when you learn Ocean Storm.. because knowing the combo will increase your jumping skill.."

Mikoto went pink. "You can't be excpecting me to train naked!?"

"Of course not!" said Ashley, she threw Mikoto a long white cotton shirt. Mikoto put it on.. finding it went down to her thighs. She also saw that Ashley had discarded her travel clothing and was wearing nothing but the cotton shirt too.

"This.. is still pretty exposing.." Mikoto muttered, not appreciating how breezy it felt in the outfit.

"Like I said, I'm the only one who knows about this place, along with you." said Ashley. "I used to live here.. a long time ago before I joined the Sword Master Academy."
