School District 21

**School District 21** (第二一学区, *Dai Nijūichi Gakku*?) is the westernmost School District of Academy City. It is bordered to the east by School District 9, to the north by School District 17, to the south by School District 13, and to the west by Western Tokyo.

The district's primary use is for water storage, and in astronomical observation facilities.

## Principles

Unlike School District 23, which is flat due to its many runways, School District 21 is a mountainous area. The mountainous area holds many dams that act as the city's water source. The water is distributed to the whole of Academy City using pipes, from uses such as beverage service to industrial use. The stars in the night sky can be seen more clearly in the district than the rest in the city. Perhaps because of this, the district contains several astronomical observation facilities. The area is also the location of an experimental geothermal power station situated on the mountain's peak, and a large-scale meteorological observatory, which is also the base for the disaster recovery group Useful Spider.

The district also keeps wilds animals due to its mountainous area.

#### Sisters Arc

*Main article: Sisters Arc*
Tetsu and the others follow Hikoichi to an abandoned building where he said that the person who runs around town hiding cash cards in envelopes in alleyways, Nunotaba Shinobu.

He frisks Shinobu's body but cannot find cash cards on her. Here, upon seeing her calm and cool demeanor, he suspects her to be an esper, though his boss says to pay no heed to it as he searches for more in the vicinity. Later, when Satoshi is felled by Shinobu, Tetsu panics, pointing out that him touching her earlier, as her apparent "powers" work only those she has touched. As they are arguing, they are all felled by Shinobu through fear and shock in the dark.

In the anime adaptation, it is Hikoichi that touches her first, and is later touched by Shinobu in order for her to make her "powers" work on him as well, quickly panicking afterwards. The scene then plays out similarly with that of the manga.

He is later saved by Misaka Mikoto after Shinobu attempts to burn the building down.
School District 15

**School District 15** (第一五学区, *Dai Jūgo Gakku*?) is Academy City's major shopping district. It is bordered by School District 9 to the north, School District 21 to the northwest, School District 13 to the east, School District 2 to the south, and School District 7.

Not only does it contain shopping malls, but the district also holds facilities related to mass communication.

## Principles

Academy City's largest shopping center is located in the school district. Facilities for things such as television and mass communication can be frequently found in the district. The price of land is the highest in all of the districts in Academy City.

Even in Academy City, the fashion in School District 15 is in the cutting edge, having a different style compared to its neighbor School District 7. The district is the center of fashions, and more people come to the district for fun than actually live in the district. Despite being a district geared towards leisure and entertainment such as karaoke boxes, arcades, outdoor pools, bowling alleys, and parks, there are still located in the district, and is the origin of the gang known as the Disciplinary Guides.

The district has its own website that advertises it known as Entertainment Cursor.

The district's subway station is incorporated into the Dianoid.

In response, Neoka set off an explosion and fire in his own home, with an escape helicopter ready on the roof, planning to fabricate injuries and have Anti-Skill take the blame so as to halt their investigation and buy time for him to have the incriminating evidence destroyed. However he was thwarted by Touma's group, who bypassed the elevators with Mikoto's ability, immobilized the helicopter and stopped him before he could fabricate the injuries. After a battle on the roof, Neoka was defeated and left to Anti-Skill as the group descended back to the streets where, after a brief encounter with an old ramen chef, Touma was ambushed by Anna Sprengel.

Smartvery

* Anime
* Manga

**Smartvery** (スマートヴェリー, *Sumātoverī*?, Yen Press: **Smartveri**) is a character introduced in *Toaru Majutsu no Index*. She is a Witch that is stationed on the Coven Compass, and becomes embroiled against the Knights of England during the British Halloween.

## Appearance

In the anime, Smartvery has short, light brown hair. She wears a witch's hat and attire, mostly black with several white parts.

## Background

She is a witch of the Coven Compass, and seems to have some sort of authority as other witches defer to her opinion during the Battle of Islay. Due to the presence of St. Peter's anti-flight interception spell, she and the other witches of the Coven Compass are forced to fly low in order not to hurt themselves too much if the spell is used against them.

## Chronology

#### British Halloween

*Main article: British Halloween*

Smartvery was stationed on the mobile fortress Coven Compass, near Islay, when Carissa and the Knights of England initiated the coup d'état and with her fellow witches, launched to intercept the Knights' attack. When one of her fellow witches asked what they should do against the knights, Smartvery suggested that since the Curtana Original only provides them with power within the UK's borders, they should escape the country to lure the knights over the border and then wipe them out with the fortress's cannon. She then added that although that was the safest option it might be fun to wipe them out with an ocean control spell. They then clashed with the knights on the ocean.

Smartvery was also present when the witches prepared to fire on Buckingham Palace with the Coven Compass. While keeping an eye on the spell and listening, Smartvery thought about the shot they were making, over their supposed maximum range. She talked to another witch while waiting, mentioning how the third princess dealt with the formalities and supposing they should be thankful for that influence. As her comrade noted that Carissa was also a influential person, Smartvery supposed that they were similar in that regard but had shifted in different directions.

Smartvery brought her broom under control as the Coven Compass's firing sequence caused turbulence around the fortress. When another witch wondered if the knights would try to interfere, Smartvery said they might but if they had that courage they'd probably cross the border and attack together. Thinking that they would for Elizard or perhaps the Knight Leader, Smartvery noted the limitations of Carissa's violent approach. The Coven Compass then began firing.

## Abilities

Like many other witches, Smartvery is capable of using potions made from different magical plants. When used, it grants the objects it is applied on the ability of flight, things like clothes, broomsticks, and even the skin of the human body. Through this, Smartvery is able to fly. Smartvery can also apparently attack through her broomstick.

She can also use an communication spell, and apparently is able to use an ocean control spell.

## Quotes

* (During the firing of Coven Compass, from Index Volume 18): *"It seems this is the limitations of violence, new Queen Carissa."*
Spiritual Item

Relevant topics on**Magic**

A **Spiritual Item** (霊装, *Reisō*?, Yen Press: **Soul Arm**) is a special tool which is used by Magicians to aid in their execution of Magic.

## Principles

When magicians carry out precise ceremonies and spells, they often use specialized tools which correspond to the symbols and requirements for the spell in question, allowing Magic to be executed more efficiently and conveniently. An example of this would be using a spear when using Magic based on a story involving a legendary spear - the spear is not absolutely necessary, and certain items with the same shape and function can be used in its place (such as an umbrella), but details being closer to that of the intended item decrease the odds of the spell failing and makes it more effective.

Spiritual items are mostly nothing more than tools, with a few exceptions. When a magician holds a spiritual item, it becomes a part of their body and part of the magic power flowing through their blood vessel will circulate through it, enabling them to function. This power can also be provided remotely and for some items, magic power will continue to circulate for a little while after the magician lets go of it. Top tier spiritual items are said to have the equivalent power to a missile. Others have pseudo-personalities, essentially acting like loyal robots that carried out their users’ orders, but many are capable of more adaptive autonomous thought than modern AI.

In the past, destruction of a spiritual item would sever the circulation of magic power and damage the magician. Nowadays, safety devices are incorporated into them to prevent this.

### Symbolic Weapons

**Symbolic Weapons** (象徴武器（シンボリックウェポン）, *Shōchō Buki (Shinborikku Wepon)*?, lit. "Symbol Weapon", Yen Press: **Aspected Weapons**) are a representative example of spiritual items - produced, consecrated and only touched by the user, lest the circulation be interfered with and rendered incomplete.

### Conceptual Weapons

**Conceptual Weapons** (概念武装（コンセプチュアルウェポン）, *Gainen Busō (Konsepuchuaru Wepon)*?, lit. "Concept Weapon") are magical items that often have an accumulated history and cause more than physical interference as they execute a certain built-in "concept," a predetermined phenomenon. There are a variety of concepts that Conceptual Weapons can enforce, including "the negation of immortality with the concept of a natural life", "severing and binding", and "absolute defense against thrown weapons." Some are made to directly crush the soul with a concept. Formless things such as manifestations of laws or delusions are unable to be affected by physical interference, but Conceptual Weapons are able to damage them because beings born from concepts can only be killed by concepts.
Sigil

Relevant topics on**Magic**

A **Sigil** (シジル, *Shijiru*?) is a magic symbol used to represent certain subjects according to Idol Theory. Most often in Western magic, it represents an angel.

## Etymology

Sigil is derived from the Latin *sigillum*, meaning "seal."

## Principles

Sigils represent things from a special cross, to that of Hebrew alphabets. The lines used in a sigil are used to display a word. However, it is most often used to display a name of an angel in order to obtain Telesma. What the sigil draws out depends on the angel the sigil represents, like Archangel Gabriel representing the direction of south, which the spellcaster may use to tell others which direction to go.

What they represent seem to imply that they can also be used in magic circles, for when writing the name of the angel whom the spellcaster desires to borrow the from, among other functions, instead of regular alphabets.

As Silvia demonstrates, there is no reason for a sigil to be solely written on paper or on the ground - they can also be formed through various movements, like using a rope to signify the sigil of Archangel Gabriel.

A common tool used by both members of the Rosicrucian Order and the Golden Dawn is a rose cross medal, which acts as an all-purpose spiritual item that can mass-produce sigils, extracting the name of an angel or spirit by spelling it out in one stroke. Each of the rose's petals has one of the 22 Hebrew letters engraved on them.

Strange

The **Strange** (ストレンジ, *Sutorenji*?) is the term used to refer to an area located within School District 10, Area G of Academy City. It is an area where there is a high prevalence of gang-related activity especially Skill-Out gangs and is the stronghold of Big Spider.

## Appearance

It is notable for its vast urban decay, it previously looked like any other district in Academy City, like having wind turbines and cleaning robots, however it has fallen into disrepair. Trash and the remains of cleaning and security robots are scattered all around the streets of the area, its walls are also covered in various graffiti. Machines such as cameras and wind turbines have either stopped working or broken beyond repair. The area holds a large amount of old and abandoned buildings, some of which are currently being used by gangs.

## Demographics

A large number of level 0 espers reside within the area, many of these have formed gangs or joined Skill-Out. During Misaka Mikoto and Shirai Kuroko's visit to The Strange, one can clearly see many people sleeping and loitering on the streets, indicating that many people who reside here are in a destitute state.

School District 6

**School District 6** (第六学区, *Dai Roku Gakku*?) is a school district at the eastern part of Academy City. It is bordered by School District 19 to the north, School District 12 to the east, School District 23 to the south, School District 5 to the west, and School District 4 to the northwest.

The districts primary focus are recreational facilities, which also includes an amusement park.

## Principles

Whilst seemingly having the same purpose as School District 15, which focuses on leisure and entertainment through, the district focuses on recreational facilities as well as having an amusement park. The district apparently attracts tourists as well as swindlers who are attracted by their presence.

### Secret Residences

The park has luxury resort hotels, but there are also **Secret Residences** (シークレットレジデンス, *Shīkurettorejidensu*?), special luxury homes which rich people can rent along with a full year pass and at a high cost. The Secret Residences have various themes from around the world, based on the settings of movies and fairy tales.

One is a Japanese-style home, with theming based on an otherworldly train station, with gravel, a bamboo thicket, a teahouse bench, a large red umbrella, a dilapidated torii, a roofless station building, rusted train track buried by gravel and weeds, and a platform with a rusted sign saying “Otherworld Capital Station” (京異界駅, *Kyōikai-eki*?).

Another is a Western-style red brick mansion. At the time of the events of Operation Handcuffs, a number of tents were set up out the back behind the mansion, besides the metal fence surrounding the yard. With no guests having no business there and the rich having no reason to walk into the shadows behind their home, these were used by people associated with the city's dark side, such as the counterfeiter Perfect Film.

Sakugawa Middle School

**Sakugawa Middle School** (柵川中学校, *Sakugawa Chūgakukō*?) is a co-ed middle school in the *Toaru Majutsu no Index* universe. The school is located in School District 7, Academy City. First introduced in the *Toaru Kagaku no Railgun* sidestory, it is attended by Judgment member Uiharu Kazari and her friend, Saten Ruiko.

The school looks like a typical Japanese middle school, featuring a four-storeyed main building, connected to another building with an elevated hallway and likely has an accessible roof. In the manga the school also has a large clock on the outside.

## Chronology

### Toaru Kagaku no Railgun

Telekinesis

Relevant topics on**Science**

**Telekinesis** (念動力（テレキネシス）, *Nendōryoku (Terekineshisu)*?, lit. "Telekinetic Force") is the ability to move objects from a distance. It is among the most common types of esper abilities found in Academy City.

## Principles

Telekinesis is an esper power with various applications; one of its most common is the levitation of objects. Other applications include applying a "layer" of its influence onto objects, as well as its use to solidify the user's body, increasing their inertia.

It's effects are visibly similar to that of Awatsuki Maaya's **Float Dial** ability, which led to Baba Yoshio confusing it in his analysis. One can also "transfer" the ability to seemingly lift objects for a time, as Baba Yoshio did not find it suspicious that Maaya lessened Kongou Mitsuko's buoyancy to make her able to be carried by Saten Ruiko.

Many types of telekinetic abilities often take more exotic and specific forms, allowing their wielders to specialize in fantastic feats. Rearranging the quantum structure of matter, controlling fire, and bending light are examples of these abilities. Many telekinetics are unable to manifest the full strength and magnitude of their abilities beyond their specialty. Some espers may even have a telekinetic aura of a certain color.

The Columbus’ Egg test, which is an exam conducted by the Power Curriculum Program, is seemingly designed specifically for telekinetics. Telekinetics are also examined by moving scales in a certain angle.

## Known Subtypes

* **Side Arm** (気力絶縁 (サイドアーム) , *Kiryoku Zetsuen (Saido Āmu)*?, lit. "Energy Insulation"): A variation of Telekinesis that interferes with the motion of electrons, and thus allows the user to repel electric attacks.
* **Attention Power**: Ability Number 00483 as registered in the Bank; a potential unknown variation of Telekinesis, or an alternate name for it, as it is a potential translation of Telekinesis' kanji.

Synchrotron

**Synchrotron** (量子変速（シンクロトロン）, *Ryōshi Hensoku (Shinkurotoron)*?, lit. "Quantum Gear-Shift") is an esper ability that allows the user to manipulate the acceleration of quantum particles, making the ability similar to a particle accelerator.

Little is known about the ability, however, there is apparently a big difference between electron synchrotron, proton synchrotron, and heavy-ion synchrotron, indicating that there are many different kinds of synchrotron that specializes on a single particle, one of which is the acceleration of gravitons.

A high level user of Synchrotron with the ability to accelerate gravitons can apparently create a bomb using the ability through the acceleration of gravitons and use of aluminum as a base.

## Known Synchrotrons

* **Kaitabi Hatsuya** - Level 2 *Graviton accelerating-type*

The ROOD

**The\_ROOD** (ゴルゴダの十字架（The\_ROOD）, *Gorugoda no Jūjika*?, lit. "Cross of Golgotha") or **True Cross** refers to the physical remnants which, by a Christian tradition, are believed to be from the cross upon which Jesus was crucified.

## Etymology

The author uses the word "The ROOD" in English to refer to the artifact in the original light novel. Today it refers to the cross or crucifix that are at the entrance to the choir or chancel of a church. However, Rood was originally the only Old English word for the instrument of Jesus Christ's death.

## Principles

The letters INRI (short in Latin for *Iēsus Nazarēnus, Rēx Iūdaeōrum*) are believed to have been carved into the original cross.

## Chronology

### Toaru Majutsu no Index

Stonehenge

**Stonehenge** (ストーンヘンジ, *Sutōnhenji*?) is an ancient stone circle located on Salisbury Plain, England. It is both a world heritage site and a magical site with many possible uses, and as such is monitored by many factions, both magical and non-magical.

## Appearance

It consists of an outer ring of vertical sarsen standing stones, each around 13 feet (4.0 m) high, seven feet (2.1 m) wide, and weighing around 25 tons, topped by connecting horizontal lintel stones. Inside is a ring of smaller bluestones. Inside these are free-standing trilithons, two bulkier vertical sarsens joined by one lintel.

## Principles

There are various theories as to what Stonehenge may have originally been used for, though the actual reason for the stone circle is not known. Among these theories are ones that suggest the circle might perhaps be the grave of a powerful person, a site for sacrifices or an observatory to track the sun and stars, and with them the changing of the seasons. Even the Anglican Church, who still make use of Stonehenge for some ceremonies, don't know why it was originally constructed - as such they allow people to form their own opinions and gather ideas that some experts might overlook.

However, though the stone circle may have originally had only one use, due to the many theories and interpretations built up over the years that is no longer the case. Using these different theories, different magical symbols can be produced like the functions of a Swiss Army knife and hundreds of different types of Magic can be used.

### Surveillance

Due to the nature of Stonehenge as both a magic site and a world heritage site, various groups of different affiliations are present in the area around the site. These include the Highways Agency, which has a division specifically for dealing with trouble around Stonehenge, environmental protection groups, university geology research groups, city workers and souvenir shop owners who've formed a vigilante group. Magicians are mixed in among the various groups, all of whom are monitoring one another. This situation has been created so it would be hard to difficult where the real magicians were and any attempt to eliminate one group would alert the others to one's presence. However this set-up is ineffective if a group that is under attack is isolated, such that the other groups have no idea what is happening to it.

Having gathered a large number of ideas and interpretations, the Anglican Church has data on the many different kinds of Magic that could be used with Stonehenge and can detect attempts to use the circle in those ways. However they haven't necessarily covered all of the possibilities, meaning that a spell based on one they've missed can slip past their detection, like a brand new computer virus.
Takebayashi Yayoi

**Takebayashi Yayoi** (武林夜宵, *Takebayashi Yayoi*?) was a student of Tokiwadai Middle School who appears in *Toaru Kagaku no Railgun*. Four years prior to the main story, she was the head of Tokiwadai's biggest clique and top candidate for the Majesty title, as well as one of the adopted daughters of Takebayashi Family.

## Appearance

Not much is known about her appearance, but she has waist length hair and wears the Tokiwadai Middle School uniform.

## Personality

Not much is known about her personality, but she was willing to mount an attack on Tanrei Chemicals to save her abducted clique members and was said to have been well-liked by the younger adoptees.

## Background

At some point in the past, she was adopted by the Takebayashi Family alongside multiple others, to be sent to Academy City with the goal of at least one adoptee entering Tokiwadai and obtaining the school's Majesty title (and the alleged position on the Board of Directors it was supposed to promise). Takebayashi Yayoi was the only one to succeed in gaining admission to Tokiwadai.

Four year prior to the main story and three years prior to the arrival of Tokiwadai's Level 5s, she was the leader of the school's largest clique and having maintained that position over the course of a year, she was top candidate for the title of Majesty. However, members of her clique were abducted. Having obtained information that they were being held captive at Tanrei Chemicals, Takebayashi attacked the company, resulting in her arrest, with two dead and the abducted girls being recovered elsewhere (with Hasekura Reiri and Shin'enkouji Rurikakesu later discussing the possibility of Tanrei bribing Anti-Skill or having an esper falsify or eliminate evidence).

She lost her right to the Majesty title and was erased from Tokiwadai's records by the school's chair, who covered up the scandal, though her name wasn't publically revealed in association with the incident. She supposedly committed suicide in prison afterwards. Having heavily invested in her success, the Takebayashi family went bankrupt and the other adoptees were taken in by various branch families.

## Chronology

#### First Year Arc

*Main article: First Year Arc*
Three years after the covered-up scandal, Hasekura Reiri, who had also sought the Majesty title, mentioned what she knew of the case to Shin'enkouji Rurikakesu who had considered a connection to the cases of shady companies connected to esper development that had been brought down over the past year, Tanrei Chemicals first among them.

## Abilities

As a student of Tokiwadai Middle School, her ability can be presumed to have been at Level 3 or 4.
Switzerland

Flag of Switzerland

**Switzerland** (スイス, *Suisu*?), officially the **Swiss Confederation** is a country located in central Europe. Switzerland is a land-locked country and shares borders with five countries; Italy to the south, France to the west, Germany to the north, and Austria and Liechtenstein to the east.

## Background

Switzerland is recognized as permanently neutral country, with treaties stating that the country has abandoned the right to go to war, in exchange for the rest of the world helping to eliminate any threats if it is ever invaded. As such, it is also used as a place to arbitrate conflict between other countries, with Geneva being a site of such arbitration.

Divided into 26 cantons, Switzerland does not have a single unified language or official religion. Each of the cantons uses their preferred language, with some parts like Zurich using German and others using French, and the dominant religious culture differs between them, with some siding with the Roman Catholic Church and others obstructing them. The differences between cantons allow for a useful frontline base for the Anglican Church, with Zurich being the site of one.

Switzerland is famous not only for cheese fondue and mineral water, but also they’re known for their instant coffee and freeze-dried food. Switzerland is home to the world’s largest instant food company. Switzerland is also a country of banks and famous for their secret banks. There are plenty of tax havens that offered secret banks, but the rich are said to continue to choose Switzerland because they value the tradition and stability.

Presumably, the Zurich school of Alchemy, derived from Hermeticism, originated from Zurich.

The **Underground Shopping Center** (地下街, *Chikagai*?) or **Underground Mall** refers to the network of underground streets located underneath Academy City, specifically in this case, in School District 3, that operates as a shopping mall.

## Background

The mall is situated directly below a train station and unlike most shopping districts which stay open late into the night, closes when the last train leaves the station.

The mall is apparently a place which requires courage to step into, with regards to the contents of one's wallet.

## Chronology

It, along with Air Bag, is one of the group protection abilities.

A Tokiwadai Middle School student uses the ability in the Balloon Tossing game in the Daihaseisai against the boys of Minamikawa Middle School due to the destructive powers of her fellow teammates, allowing for those to get hit and blown away to be unharmed. Due to its presence in Tokiwadai Middle School, the power may have been at least Level 3.

## Chronology

### Toaru Majutsu to Kagaku no Ensemble

*Main article: Toaru Majutsu to Kagaku no Ensemble*
Fuuga is a character specifically written by Kamachi Kazuma for the game, and is set to appear in the Science (Hidden) Story of the game.

Saten Ruiko and Uiharu Kazari meet Sakurazaka Fuuga over the Academy City SNS Rondo Net. The three hit it off and make a promise to play together, but a sudden system error causes confusion throughout the city. According to Kuroko, Anti-Skill and Judgment's systems are unusable. Kazari realizes the system error is being caused by intentional hacking and begins searching for the hacker.

She discovers that the system error was a means of having a patch added to the computers which included a backdoor and that the backdoor was used to access Academy City's military central cloud. The hacker then used the military cloud to access the Australian Cooperative Institution and its Mass Driver. The hacker also used the backdoor to knock out all of the computers at Uiharu's Judgment branch after speaking to her through the computer.

Saten recognizes the reason the hacker gives for the hacking is identical to the one Fuuga gave about previously shoplifting a present for her and calls Fuuga to ask if it was her. Fuuga readily admits it and tells Saten to leave the city, but Saten vows to stop her. Uiharu tracks down Sakurazaka's location and Kuroko and Saten head there.

It is revealed that Fuuga had been doing it all for her father and she tries to kill herself to protect him but Saten convinces her not to and slaps her. She was arrested by Judgment afterwards. Before being transferred to the Reformatory, she said farewell to Saten and Uiharu.

## Abilities

Sakurazaka Fuuga's Level 1 esper power is known as **Malicious Fake** (認証穿刺（マリシャスフェイク）, *Ninshō Senshi (Marishasu Feiku)*?, lit. "Authentication Puncture"). It allows her to control computers directly without using any peripherals like a keyboard or mouse. Her power over computers despite its limitations is finely tuned.

## Quotes

* *"I have to do my best for father's sake."*
Student Keeper

**Student Keeper** (落第防止（スチューデントキーパー）, *Rakudai Bōshi (Suchūdento Kīpā)*?, lit. "Failure Prevention") is a position in Academy City whose main purpose is to prevent students from failing due to skipping classes.

## Principles

The Student Keeper was one of the safety measures of Academy City. The main aim was to send teachers to the dormitories of students to teach them and counsel them to prevent them from being unable to return to school life because they kept skipping class.

It can be assumed that Student Keepers still continue to perform other duties such as teaching and guidance of students in the schools themselves.
Skíðblaðnir

The **Skíðblaðnir** (大船の鞄（スキーズブラズニル）, *Oobune no Kaben (Sukīzuburazuniru)*?, lit. "Large Boat's Briefcase", Yen Press: **Skithblathnir**) are a series of spiritual items based on the legendary boat of the same name, capable of transporting objects between each other across great distances. It is created and used by New Light to transport Curtana Original to Carissa for her coup. There are five in total, with one in the care of the Knight Leader.

## Etymology

Skíðblaðnir is a legendary boat of Norse Mythology and is mentioned to be the finest to be of all ships. The boat was capable of holding all of the Æsir including Odin. It had the ability to be folded up and be kept inside one's bag.

## Appearance

It can take on the appearance of a traveler's suitcase for easier means of carrying it. It has a wooden mosaic-like structure on its surface. It is primarily made of oak, carved down to only a few millimeters thick and then exposed to steam until it would bend. No nails or screws were used in constructing the spiritual item, and it was made by hand similarly to the weaving of bamboo baskets or the creation of wooden mosaics.

It's true form however is that of a 10 meter long canoe made of wood, New Light, being experts in Norse Mythology, "folded up" in a regulated way much like origami in order to forcibly give it the shape of a case.

## Principles

Skíðblaðnir works such that when one puts something into one of the suitcases, it can be sent from its location to one of the other suitcases in relay. For example an object is passed from suitcase A to suitcase B, then from suitcase B to suitcase C, so on and so forth. It has an effective range of 100 kilometers. When opened, the case turns back to its original form, it becomes a 10 meter long canoe.

Aside from its ability of instantaneous transfer, Skíðblaðnir is quite durable as proven when Lessar accidentally used it as a shield against a fire spell by Oriana Thomson and in the training labyrinth of Necessarius where Bayloupe protected it to a degree from the traps.

When Agnese Forces investigated one of the hideouts of New Light they had found a prototype of it in the form of a case. This can interpreted either that the New Light group has knowledge on making replicas, or they were attempting to reshape it differently.
School District 18

**School District 18** (第一八学区, *Dai Jūhachi Gakku*?) is a school district found in Academy City. It is bordered by School District 7 to the west, School District 23 to the east, school districts 10, 11, and 22 to the south, and School District 5 to the north.

One of the larger school districts, it is a district where top schools in ability development are located.

## Principles

It is contains prestigious schools such as Nagatenjouki Academy and Kirigaoka Girls' Academy. It apparently uses a scholarship program that is separate from the one that is used in the rest of the city.

The district's structured in a logical manner, however, one gets the feeling that the life there is thin, where the widths of the roads are uniform, and the architecture is designed for the people to not stray from the rules. When Shirai Kuroko was investigating Grim Reaper Kakiko, she criticizes the district as a prison for children but a paradise for adults.
Senior

Redirect to:

* Relic#Previous Generation

The **"Senior"** (先輩（シニア）, *Senpai (Senia)*?) is an unnamed mysterious character, appearing in *Toaru Kagaku no Mental Out*.

## Background

Senior's background is largely unknown. Senior was Academy City's #1 Esper before Accelerator.

## Chronology

### Toaru Kagaku no Mental Out

#### Tokiwadai Election Arc

*Main article: Tokiwadai Election Arc*
While infiltrating a facility, Kouzaku Mitori encountered a cube that communicated through vibrations, claiming to be her "Senior" academically and the previous #1 Level 5.

## Abilities

Senior's esper ability isn't named, but it involves manipulation of vibration. In a conversation with Kamijou Touma one year previously, Shokuhou Misaki had mentioned that there was once a Level 5 capable of spatial control, heralded by a chill in the affected area. It hasn't been fully confirmed whether or not they are the same individual as the Level 5 who had a spatial control ability.

One of the Tokiwadai's Student Council Election candidates, Kamino, had square-shaped eyes and used a spatial control ability affecting a cube-shaped area, the usage of which provoked a feeling that reminded Shokuhou of the past Level 5. The exact connection between all of these subjects is currently unknown.
Slappar

**Slappar** (スラッパール, *Surappāru*?) is the manager of Brick Wharf, who appears in *Toaru Majutsu no Index SS: Kanzaki*.

## Appearance

Slappar is described as a young man with pale skin and a sickly look.

## Background

At some point, Slappar created Alfar from a fossil in order to overcome a defect which prevented him from casting spells above a certain level of complexity. Slappar communicated with Alfar behind thick glass and designated areas where she could and couldn't go in the building. However after seeing a cat named Bailey and wishing to be able to touch him, Alfar wandered outside of the areas he had told her to stay within. As a result, she found out about the effects she had on other living beings and the reason why Slappar created her, leading to her occupying Brick Wharf and driving Slappar out.

## Chronology

### Toaru Majutsu no Index SS: Kanzaki

*Main article: Toaru Majutsu no Index SS: Kanzaki*
Due to Alfar's occupation of Brick Wharf, Slappar is forced to get help from Necessarius. When Kanzaki Kaori and the Jeans Shop Owner arrive, he hides with them in a thicket near the complex and tells them about his problem and Alfar, withholding certain pieces of information. He tells Kanzaki not to kill Alfar, saying that she might have made modifications so that Brick Wharf will become unusable if she is killed.

Once Kanzaki is inside Brick Wharf, Slappar communicates with her further regarding Alfar. After the communication is cut off and the Jean Shop Owner prepares to enter the building himself, Slappar starts to refine his life force through breathing and proceeds to use Magic before the Jean Shop Owner can bring his guard up. At the same time, a tanker of liquid oxygen that he had ordered earlier arrives.

Using a huge quantity of supercooled water prepared from the tanker, Slappar melts the walls of Brick Wharf with a wave of acid, before stepping inside to confront Kanzaki and Alfar. He proceeds to explain his deception and his intentions to use Alfar to evolve himself to overcome his defect, regardless of the harm it would cause to the ecosystem for centuries to come.

As Kanzaki puts her hand on her sword, Slappar warns her not to try anything, pointing out the preparations that he had made - millions of microscopic runes formed using the mist from the supercooled water. Alfar then tells Kanzaki that the way to stop him was to kill, though Slappar remains confident that he can counter and overwhelm her. Kanzaki then proceeds to apparently kill Alfar before his eyes, secretly using her own blood to fake the injury. With his hope apparently gone, Slappar falls to his knees and ceases to resist.

## Abilities

Slappar is capable of using rune magic, though he is unable to perform spells with a certain level of complexity due to his defect. He is however capable of using millions of simple microscopic runes.
Simple Coconut

**Simple Coconut** (シンプルココナッツ, *Shinpuru Kokonattsu*?) is a café in New Honolulu International Airport in Oahu, Hawaii.

## Principles

Its location alone factors into four-fifths of the price of what it serves. The café sells a sweet coffee that Leivinia Birdway describes as having enough calories to rival an energy drink for a marathon runner as well as tapioca.

## Chronology

### Hawaii Invasion Arc

*Main article: Hawaii Invasion Arc*
The café is where Leivinia relates her plans to Accelerator regarding planting a bomb in the airport to draw out GREMLIN. Her actions directly result in the New Honolulu International Airport terrorist incident.
Valart Signal

**Valart Signal** (ヴァルアート・シグナル, *Varuāto Shigunaru*?) is a member of the Academy City Board of Directors, specializing in the field of construction.

## Appearance

Valart is described as a very large man, with the shape of a round barrel, and has a black beard with some gray peppered in.

## Personality

Valart is brave enough to confront Accelerator.

## Background

At some point in the past, his family's real estate had a sudden fall due to a "haunted room" rumor. Valart's family almost killed themselves because of bankruptcy, but they overcame the situation.

## Chronology

*Main article: Operation Handcuffs Arc*
After Anti-Skill sustained critical damage and was unable to continue Operation Handcuffs on December 25th, Valart went to confront Accelerator over the apparent failure of his operation and the damage it had caused to the city, only for Accelerator to confront him on his own ties to the dark side, having been waiting to see which of the Board would take the bait. He later realized that Accelerator never planning for Academy City to survive.
