In Sakugawa Middle School:
Teacher: And from this, we can see that the most important thing in the ability developing curriculum of Academy City is "Personal Reality," or acquiring reality unto oneself. This is one and only basis for esper powers.
Saten wasn't focusing in class, when Uiharu wasn't here.

Flashback outside of school:
Saten was on the phone with Uiharu.
Saten: Huh? A cold?
Uiharu: Yes. I only have a slight fever, but it just won't seem to go down.
Saten: Oh. We'll get plenty of rest ok.
Saten ends the call.

End of flashback:
Teacher: Saten... Saten Ruiko!
Saten: Y-Yes?
Teacher: You look like you have this all down, huh? Would you explain simply the last point?
Saten: Y-Yes.
Saten looks through the book finding the answer.
Saten: Let's see... let's see...
Teacher: Never mind. Be sure to study up on Personal Reality next time. That's all for today.
After school, Saten was still studying in the
class.
Saten: (Who cares about theories and allegories? I wish they'd teach us some techniques to level up quickly.)

In Academy city:
Sonic, Misaka, and Kuroko were walking together.
Misaka: Sure is hot today, huh?
Sonic: I'm gonna sweat crazy if this keeps going.
Misaka turns around, as Kuroko was thinking about something.
Misaka: What's with the frown face?
Sonic: Huh?
Kuroko: I just can't believe it about Kaitabi Hatsuya being a Level 2.
Misaka: Kaitabi? Oh, the one behind those graviton attacks earlier.
Sonic: That's his name? Man I'm late.
Misaka: But all the destruction he caused was Level 4 class.
Kuroko: Yes, which means that it's... this is...
Sonic: You mean Level Upper?
Misaka, Kuroko: Huh?
Sonic: Misaka, don't you remember? Saten told us about Level Uppers, that can increase your esper power, no matter what level are you.
Misaka: Oh, I remember, but...
Kuroko: Theres no way that can be true. It's a myth.
Sonic: Yeah, but anything can be true. Just because it's a myth, doesn't mean it won't be like that forever.
Misaka: Hey, now, why don't we calm down and take a break, okay?
Sonic: Sure.
Kuroko: Okay.
The three went to a ice stand and waited for the waiter.
Misaka: What do you guys want?
Sonic: I'm getting the blueberry ice! I heard it makes you cool, which I've always been!
Misaka: Ha ha! All right. What about you, Kuroko?
Kuroko: The same thing that you're getting, sissy. It's is mystifying, is it not? When you hear a wind chime, it feels a little bit cooler.
Misaka: Yeah, it's called synesthesia.
Sonic, Kuroko: Synesthesia?
Waiter: Thank you for waiting.
The waiter brought in the blueberry ice, and two strawberries.
Waiter: Here, two strawberries and a blueberry.
Misaka: "The reception of multiple sensations from a single stimulus." We're paying separately, here.
Kuroko: Heh? Sissy, you're the one who offered...
Misaka: Huh? What's that?
Kuroko: Oh, nothing.
Sonic: He he.
Kuroko: Hmph!

In the bench:
Misaka: So anyway, when you see reddish colors, you feel warmer, and when you see bluish colors, you feel cooler, right?
Kuroko: They call them warm colors and cool colors.
Misaka: Right. And this shaved ice is strawberry red.
Kuroko: I get you. The red syrup adds to the fruity image of it.
Sonic: My shaved ice is blueberry blue. It's so good!
Misaka: Mmm. Cold.
Kuroko: Oh, sissy...!
Kuroko takes a bite as she got brain freeze.
Saten: Misaka! Sonic! Kuroko!
Misaka: Saten...
Sonic: Hey.
Saten: That sure looks good.

A few minutes later:
Saten was having a brain freeze.
Misaka: This is starting to become a summer tradition.
Saten: You still want to eat it, even knowing that's what will happen. Oh, Are yours strawberry and blueberry?
Sonic: Yep.
Misaka: Mmhmm. Would you like a spoonful?
Kuroko's expression changed.
Saten: Wow, you mean it? Don't mind if I do...
Saten takes a bite of Misaka's ice.
Saten: Mmm, delicious. Want to have some lemon in return?
Misaka: Thanks.
Kuroko started screaming.
Saten: I really wanna try the blueberry.
Misaka: Same here. (Wait, if I take a bite out of Sonic's... that's a indirect kiss! Well it's not like a real kiss or anything. I'm just getting a bite of it.
Saten: He he...
Saten: *Whisper* Sonic, now's your chance.
Sonic: W-What?!
Saten: He he.
Sonic: Uhh, anyway, sure you can have some.
Misaka and Saten takes a bite of Sonic's ice.
Saten: Mmmm. It's delicious.
Misaka: It really is good.
Sonic: I know right?
Saten: Now's our turn.
Misaka: Yeah. (I'm feeding him now... just calm down.)
Sonic: Sure.
Misaka and Saten gives Sonic both the strawberry and the lemon together as they both put it in his mouth.
Sonic: Mmmm amazing! The flavor with the strawberry and the lemon is delicious!
Kuroko: Ahhhhh! W-W-What... What are you doing?
Saten: Huh? Tasting each other's flavors.
Kuroko: Tasting each other's... each other's... each other's... (I could have done that! Kuroko, that's a good of a lifetime!)
Kuroko goes to give Misaka a bite.
Kuroko: W-Well then, you can third hand kis- I mean, taste my flavor, too.
Sonic: Don't you two got the same flavor?
Kuroko slams her head on the floor.
Kuroko: Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! Kuroko, how stupid!
