Chapter 2

I lay down on my bed right after getting home. Well, I called it home but it's just a run-down shop that the owner decided to take me in while i was sitting alone in the cold years back. thinking about what happened these past few days. I have been running away from people for years and having such a long conversation other than my neighbor, it feels strange. it's a feeling I forgot a long time ago. maybe i longed to have someone to talk to again... hmm what am i even talking about anymore, there is no such things as friends in this world....

a dim sunlight shone through my small window, i was sweating profusely as there is very little wind in the alleyway. When I tried to turn on the fan, creaking noises could be heard, its an old place after all,iits bound to break some day. its suffocating in here without any way to cool off The wooden floor would constantly creak whenever i walked around my small room, it was annoying as hell but i got used to it, its already part of my life.

Suddenly, a knock can be heard on the door and an old lady voice can be heard, "Katou, Can I talk with you for a moment"

"what is it, Owner lady" i said in a monotone voice

"i already said to not call me that, call me Shino, anyways can you pay me the monthly rent yet?"

I opened the door and i handed her half the money i got yesterday, i was still $75 short

"Katou, how long are you going to make me wait, not only youre late for your rent but you also disappear whenever its the end of the month. tell me, how did you earn this $125"... she looked me with a frown but I ignores her and tried went inside my room before being stopped by her

"Can you just listen for once, im not going to pray into your private life but you should get a better job than whatever you're doing now. Since you don't to go to school how bout help me in my shop?"

when she said that, smoke was coming out of my ears and bang the door shut. The owner lady is saying my name but i ignored it. i laid on my bed with my pillow covering my face. she was acting like she was my mother or something, its not like i chose not to go to school in the first place, i also want to live a normal life but life just never go the way you wanted to go...

While katou is reminiscing about his life, problems is stirring in another part of the city

.... In a rather dark and ominous looking room, being illuminated by magic books and spells. Papers scattered around the room making it look like a complete mess.

 "Can you stop lecturing me, Misaka I already said that I'm sorry for failing the mission" The young man said

" Our financial situation is tight already that we cannot even afford lighting and you give in so easily to that guy..."

" Misa you're been going at it for an hour already, How about giving him a break" An young girl suddenly interrupted the conversation with pink hair- Yuki Sakura

"My name is not Misa but Misaka, how many times do I need to tell you"

"But I like that name better" she pouted

"Guys, focus on our plan and stop arguing, we will never achieve our goals like this" Another young man joins in- Aiko inzune

"But takashi..."

He brings out a blueprint of an building out, " are we executing the plan or not"

Misaka said in an annoyed voice, "I'll let you off this time, stupid Takashi" he thanked Yuki before standing back up from the floor

"The Osta research Facility has been working on the New Anti-magic machine and we just got new information on where the secret facility is... it's at district 37 near the outskirts of the city... the plan was to go at Midnight but we decided to scrap that Idea"

"But wouldn't we less likely get caught going at night" Sakura asked

"

I'm getting to that part, In addition to the location, I got the blueprint of the Facility here... " A Imaginary blueprint can be seen floating on the desk "...see how the last and first floor is empty... we have no idea whats there. We are guessing there are lazer rooms and staff lounges at the top and bottom floor respectively . additionally, they release an Magic barrier at night and extra patrol guards with guns and watchtowers lights that if caught would lockdown the entire facility and we will be trap inside " yuki added

.... "If we are going in bright daylight aren't we also going to get caught?"

"And that's what we are discussing today, we have to delay the anti-magic machines being built if we want to our dreams to be achieve" Misaka smirks as Sakura while making an weird pose and everyone watches

... " I really wonder who's the real leader here, huh misaka, you let Aiko do all the work for..... ouch" Misaka steps on Takashi and points at him with every word she spoke

"Say one more word and I'll make you run all the errands for a week, you understand"

A chill runs down Takashi skin "yes, Madam can you please lift your leg up"

".... You just asking for trouble aren't you" Sakura is shaking her head while crossing arms

"guys, can you focus" Yuki glared at them. " The plan to destroy to giant deconstruction collider that is the main mechanism of the machine. We plan on going 3 days later which is A weekend where less guards would be present. The plan is.....

While Takashi, Sakura, Yuki and Misaka works on their plan throughout the day, Katou is talking to the Owner lady...
