Honey Queen Arc

## Chronology

The **Honey Queen Arc** is the second story arc of *Toaru Anbu no Item*. Taking place in early August, one year prior to the main story, it focuses on ITEM's battle with the data thieves Honey Queen, lead by the former head researcher of the Meltdowner research lab.

## Background

By August 4th, **Typhoon 11** (台風一一号, *Taifū Ichi Ichi-gō*?) had formed in the Pacific, and was on course to make landfall at eastern Tokyo then hit Academy City. During the events surrounding Item's battles with Honey Queen, the city would feel the meteorological effects of the approaching storm, with it finally arriving on August 6th and the eye passing over as the date changed to August 7th.

Around early August, Academy City was holding its high school girls baseball tournament.
Handy Antenna Service

**Handy Antenna Service** (ハンディアンテナサービス, *Handi Antena Sābisu*?) is a cellphone service found in Academy City that allows each individual cellphone to act in the place of a cellphone tower.

## Principles

The service had cell phones of everyone who is part of the network in the city act as a relay antenna. Even if there were no cell phone towers around, a person could connect via persons (or more appropriately, cellphones) who were part of it, relaying the signal until is able to eventually connect to a person who was near a cellphone tower. Basically, it connected using a route that went through several people in something like a net, ensuring that the connection would not be easily dropped, until the signal reached the person near the cellphone tower. The technology was apparently helped paid for by university to have it tested, as such, the service fees were supposed to be cheap.

However, not much has been done to ensure the sound quality when the method was used. Moreover, the minor system only works if its users all walk around with their cell phones constantly on to act as relay antennae. According to Kamijou Touma, he has heard that the service drains the battery power quickly, and that only a few people are signed up for it.

The technology was later used to have airships become part of an emergency air communications network through the use of the few antennae installed on them. The airships could be sent out when normal towers were brought down in a disaster.

## Chronology

### Toaru Majutsu no Index

#### Academy City Invasion Arc

*Main article: Academy City Invasion Arc*
Misaka Mikoto uses this as an excuse to coerce Touma into signing a couple pair contract for cellphones in order for her to attain Gekota goods. After some hesitation from Touma and an interruption from Shirai Kuroko, she is successful in her endeavors and managed to obtain her desired Gekota cellphone straps.

The service may have been helpful during Vento of the Front's invasion of Academy City, which likely crippled communication services.
Cleaning Robot

A **Cleaning Robot** (掃除ロボ, *Sōji Robo*?) is an automated cylindrical machine designed to clean the grounds of Academy City. It can be described as a mobile trashbin.

It can be found all over and only in Academy City. Like the Security robot, it is cylindrical in shape, and with it, it is one of the most noticeable features of the scientific advancement of the city. The cleaning robot is prominently used by Tsuchimikado Maika, who can often be found riding on top of one and controlling it.

## Appearance

It is cylindrical in appearance and is designed specifically to look like a metal container with rollers underneath for mobility. It has a small rectangular opening on its front for purposes unknown (probably for its camera and other input devices) and has exhaust vents on its back, which it uses for its small vacuum capability. Unlike the Security Robot, it is colored beige.

Other than the circular mop underneath, it has no other defining features, making it look relatively inconspicuous if standing still.

Unlike the security robots, it is rarely seen operating in small groups. Only five were deployed to A Certain High School men's dormitory.

The cylinder is 80 cm in length and 40 cm in diameter. The inside of cleaning robot is almost entirely hollow, providing enough space for a small child to fit while curled up.

## Principles

### Movement

Like the Security robot, the cleaning robot uses rollers underneath its body to move around. It has been shown to move around obstacles with ease, as it has a camera installed on it.

It is implied that the cleaning robot has similar features to that of the Security robot, such as climbing over difficult terrain and operate elevators using infrared signals.

The machine can also tilt slightly backwards, when trying to "consume" rubbish.

### Operation

Its main task is to clean the grounds of Academy City, though several can also be assigned to dormitories. It has mops underneath it; to presumably brush the ground underneath it. More importantly, it is shown having the ability to suck rubbish to draw it in closer to it, so it would be easier to "consume" it, which it presumably stores in a receptacle inside of its body.

It has also been shown to be quite relentless when cleaning, as shown when several cleaning robots in Kamijou Touma's dormitory building were trying to clean Index's blood after she was cut down by Kanzaki Kaori.
Echo Filter

The **Echo Filter** (立体反響（エコーフィルタ）, *Rittai Hankyō (Ekō Firuta)*?, lit. Solid Echo") is a technology used to see beyond obstacles using ultrasonic waves.

## Principles

It is similar to a the ultrasound that is used on pregnant women to look on the fetus inside a womb, however, the output was stronger.

Originally, the idea of using ultrasound to scan beyond obstacles was derived from research in applications dealing with counter-terrorist operations. However, since the images often end up vague as a result (making it difficult to tell who the person that the ultrasound revealed), it had gone for many years without becoming widely used.

The device can apparently be used in a smart phone.

## Chronology

### Baggage City Arc

*Main article: Baggage City Arc*
The Echo Filter is first used by Kihara Enshuu in order to figure out what's behind a certain room's contents. Here, she discovers that Ayles Bigant is behind the door, and later uses a remotely controlled crane to smash down on his hiding place, crushing him, though not killing him.

**Full Tuning** (ミサカ00000号（フルチューニング）, *(Furu Chūningu)*?, lit. "Misaka 00000") is Serial Number 00000 of the Sisters, designed by Amai Ao.

## Principles

Her details and whereabouts are unknown. However, according to her name, "Full Tuning", it can be speculated that she is not part of the network of clones and has been completely finished with a full personality.

## Chronology

### Toaru Majutsu no Index

#### Toaru Majutsu no Index SS2

During a conversation between four of the Sisters, Full Tuning was mentioned by Misaka 19090.

### Souyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index

*Main article: Los Angeles Arc*
Full Tuning was mentioned by Dion Fortune along with other Sisters.

## Abilities

While next to nothing has been shown of her abilities, it can be presumed that like all the Sisters, her esper ability is known as **Radio Noise** (欠陥電気（レディオノイズ）, *Kekkan Denki (Redio Noizu)*?, lit. "Flawed Electricity"), a subset of the **Electromaster** (電撃使い（エレクトロマスター）, *Dengeki Tsukai (Erekutoro Masutā)*?, lit. "Electricity User") ability.
Guild

*For the unnamed magician's guild dating from ancient Greece, see The Guild.*
A **Guild** (ギルド, *Girudo*?) is an organization which is a collection of individuals specializing in a particular field, gathering to advance their skills and the field in general.

## Principles

Similar to lodges and salons, the term guild typically refers to a collection of craftsmen or intellectuals with a certain specialty.

On the underside of society, guilds can be gathering points for workers who cannot openly advertise their services, such as an illicit manufacturing guild (skills and services might include procuring materials, manufacturing, shipping products, sales etc) or an assassination guild (skills and services might be include procuring weapons, carrying out a kill, disposing of bodies, making alibis etc). In this case, to avoid detection, guild members are supposed to remain as inconspicuous as possible, using greetings, handshakes, cards or meeting places which only other members would recognize, with the guild's base being the biggest secret. Being nondescript is considered the most notable signature of this type of guild.

Guild is described as being a fairly common term for those steeped in the magic side, a magician's guild being similar to normal ones but focused on magic and with distinct differences from a magic cabal. At present, only one magician's guild, actual name unknown and referred to just as "the Guild", has been shown.
Ironhide Institute of Aviation Technology

**Ironhide Institute of Aviation Technology** (鉄身航空技術研究所付属実験空港, *Tetsumi Kōkū Gijutsukenkyūsho Fuzoku Jikken Kūkō*?) is a subsidiary institute of the experimental airport located next to it in School District 23.

## Principles

Like many areas in the district, the institute is off limits to unauthorized personnel, and is heavily guarded, despite this, buses that lead to the experimental airport pass by the place, and are driven by people instead of being automated, probably to prevent any corporate spies from getting off the bus midway through. The institute specializes in the development of a short runway in Academy City.

The site is apparently surrounded by a 2-meter high, mesh wire fence.

## Chronology

### Toaru Majutsu no Index

#### Daihasei Festival Arc (Index)

*Main article: Daihasei Festival Arc (Index)*
The institute is the location from where Orsola Aquinas points out would be the most optimum place in Academy City to use the Croce di Pietro. However, it is soon revealed that Oriana Thomson had herself be used as bait in order for Lidvia Lorenzetti to use the spiritual item to conquer the city from outside its borders, as it is well beyond what Kamijou Touma, Stiyl Magnus, and Tsuchimikado Motoharu can reach.

The large open space inside the institute is the site of Touma and Stiyl's final battle against Oriana.
HsMCV-08

The **HsMCV-08**, also known as the **Predator Octopus** (プレデターオクトパス, *Puredetāokutopasu*?), is a mobile combat vehicle deployed by Academy City.

## Appearance

The HsMCV-08 is an eight-wheeled armored vehicle with a tank gun attached on top, 10m long, 2.8 wide and 3m tall, excluding its antennae.

## Principles

Classed as a next-generation mobile combat vehicle, designed to move quickly without damaging Academy City's road while using tank-class firepower to quickly eliminate dangerous elements in the city. It is operated by a crew of four but is capable of unmanned operation, either by remote control via its antennae or autonomously as a ground-based drone.

The Predator Octopus weighs 20 tons (excluding ammunition, fuel, crew and extra armor), has a top speed of 250km/h, and can climb slopes of 60 degrees depending on conditions. It is powered by a diesel engine with electrical assistance, with 4 and 8 wheel drive modes, the front four and rear four wheels capable of turning independently.

In terms of sensors, it has a multipurpose microwave radar (anti-personnel, anti-air and anti-vehicle), optimal imaging via drones or onboard cameras with the capacity for facial recognition and object searching, infrared and audio detection, and laser range finding, as well as detection and countermeasures for the locks of the same type. Its combined base-level C4I communication capability is equivalent to a front line comms base, with multiple methods including midrange ground radio, close-to-midrange infrared laser, close range ultrasound, and high-speed satellite comms.

The Predator Octopus's weaponry includes a 120mm tank gun, capable of firing various shells as well as launching anti-ground or anti-air drones, a 12.7mm heavy machine gun and a 40mm auto grenade launcher. Its defenses include a multipurpose smoke emitters, an anti-missile metal net launcher and a automatic attitude angling program meant to reduce damage when it is hit.

## Chronology

#### New Year's Arc

*Main article: New Year's Arc*
When martial law was declared in Academy City on January 3rd to deal with Anna Sprengel and the Bridge Builders Cabal, Predator Octopuses were among the forces deployed, with an unnamed group of them being the first to confront Anna Sprengel (with Kamijou Touma and Aradia, who were aiming to prevent a unilateral execution). Using data on Academy City's common OS stolen through R&C Occultics, Anna was able to hack one of them, which the group used as transportation throughout January 3rd and 4th.

## Trivia

* Going by the patterns for Academy City's weapon naming schemes, as well as how it is described, **HsMCV** stands for **Hard Science** **Mobile Combat Vehicle**, with **08** possibly referring to its eight-wheel configuration.
George Close

**George Close** (ジョージ・クローズ, *Jōji Kurōzu*?) was one of R&C Occultics' cooperators.

## Background

**Hishigata Hirumi** (菱形 蛭魅, *Hishigata Hirumi*?) is a character introduced in *Toaru Kagaku no Accelerator*, associated with the rogue Anti-Skill group DA, though she and Hishigata are merely using it for their own ends. Hirumi, however, was already dead by the start of the series, and was merely being possessed by the evil spirit Taowu.

## Appearance

Hirumi has long hair, styled into twin tails. In her first appearance, she had little on and was directly connected to a large number of wires and pipes. While she was alive, she wore the uniform of Seiin High School.

## Background

Hirumi and her associate Hishigata are part of DA, and are in search for the perfect mind and body. However, the two have their own plans and are just using DA for their own ends.

She was apparently a normal high school girl at the same time as Esther was tricked into becoming a supervisor in Hishigata's research into how esper powers reside in the human body. In spite of that Hirumi and Esther became friends. Hirumi later dies and Esther resurrects her, much to Hishigata's relief. However, she later discovers that Hirumi became possessed by the evil spirit Taowu.

Throughout Hirumi's entire appearance in the manga, she did not speak a single line of dialogue as her own person until near the end, though this is changed in the anime.

Greek Mythology

Relevant topics on**Magic**

**Greek Mythology** (ギリシャ神話, *Girisha Shinwa*?) is the mythology of the ancient Greeks. A large part of Roman mythology is derived from Greek mythology and it forms the foundation of what is known as **Classical Mythology**.

## Principles

As a mythology with a pantheon of gods, it operates similarly to Norse Mythology. As gods of polytheistic religion, they have emotions similar to those of humans such as love, justice, fear, and jealousy, and having doubts and failures like any one else. These gods aren't perfect, and such as when combined in a single group, complemented each other's weaknesses, creating a single flexible system, a sturdy defense system that could not be overcome by any foe.

Like a number of other mythologies, the primary deities, or *theoi* in Ancient Greek, of Greek mythology, the Olympians, are a younger generation of gods who fought against an older, more chaotic generation of gods, in this case the Titans, conquering them and taking their place as rulers of the cosmos.

There were a number of contemporary belief systems and sub-sets, some more connected to the main mythology than others, which were present around similar times and places (Orphism being one among them). These included cults whose practices and beliefs were only open to initiates, known as Mysteries.

## Background

In the past, as is often the case when people encounter other cultures and are faced with something they don't understand, the ancient Greeks, who had pride in their own intelligence and culture, and believed themselves to be the world standard, forcibly applied their own knowledge and preconceptions to interpreting other cultures, such as with the Egyptians and their mythology, resulting in interpretations of cultures which mixed in their own biases, misconceptions and preconceptions. These interpretations and other European misconceptions have resulted in a distorted imagining of Egyptian Mythology spreading and persisting to the present day.

As the Greek age led into the Roman age, Greek lands and culture were absorbed by Rome, resulting in Rome's indigenous mythology being overwritten in the process.

Though pure Greek mythology-based Magic isn't used much in the main story of *Toaru Majutsu no Index*, it has been mentioned as a potential magical format, and as one of the many religions and mythologies which have caused Phases to be created over the world.

Greek mythology was one of several fields which influenced the development of Hermeticism, which would become part of the foundation of the Golden Dawn.

## Chronology

### Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index

#### Choronzon Arc

*Main article: Choronzon Arc*
During the invasion of London by the Crowley's Hazards, the defenders deployed Divine Mixtures, capital defense spiritual items derived from interpretations of Egyptian Mythology distorted by the Greeks and based on combined divinities of the two mythologies.
Gaia Theory

The **Gaia Theory** (ガイア理論, *Gaia Riron*?) proposes that all organisms and their inorganic surroundings on Earth are closely integrated to form a single and self-regulating complex system, maintaining the conditions for life on the planet, making it as a form lifeform. It is a derivative of Holism.

In *Toaru Majutsu no Index*, the Gaia theory is mainly invoked when discussing the power that dwells in the earth and being used magicians.

## Principles

The Gaia Theory is predominantly related to the energy that flows within the world as evidence that the world is truly a living organism. The power is referenced as a pulse that forms all forces and flows in the world like the bloodstream in humans. It is also referenced as being similar to mana of humans when refined using Feng Shui or using a temple or shrine to draw out the planetary force.

## Chronology

### Toaru Majutsu no Index

#### Document of Constantine Arc

*Main article: Document of Constantine Arc*
Tsuchimikado Motoharu references the Gaia Theory to Kamijou Touma, when he explains Feng Shui to him, which he calls "a theory of treating the Earth as a lifeform."

### Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index

#### Baggage City Arc

*Main article: Baggage City Arc*
The Gaia Theory is referenced during the explanation on holism, stating its flaws, since the world is still affected by the influence of large phenomena, and cannot wholly be regarded as a singular self-sustaining complex system as it is part of the effects of the universe.
Hanayama Kamitsu

**Hanayama Kamitsu** (花山過蜜（はなやまかみつ）, *Hanayama Kamitsu*?) was a member of the "Item" running the Colosseum, one year prior to the main story.

Describing herself as the courier who delivers death, Hanayama sought and took pleasure in watching her contractors and the recipients of her deliveries being ruined by them, being described by Mugino in her research as a peeping tom who loved watching such ruin from distance.

## Background

In the past, while acting as a faithful courier on the surface, Hanayama brought many people to ruin through her deliveries, sometimes through a bomb or some other form of violence, but also seemingly beneficial items such as a first aid kit or gold bars, taking pleasure in watching as the recipients were always led into ruin by her deliveries. Among the results of her actions was an accident in a School District 7 apartment involving a quick-dried mummy.

## Chronology

### Toaru Anbu no Item

#### Enemy Item Arc

*Main article: Enemy Item Arc*
On July 7th, one year before the main story, Hanayama was with Ibotanokikouji Kaede's "Item" as they were watching over the night's Colosseum event. When they came into conflict with Mugino Shizuri's Item, who were targeting the Colosseum and its funds, Hanayama interrupted the Level 5's pursuit of Inoue Laspezia, who was fleeing with their cash, in the venue's planetarium. She attemped to kill Mugino with her Dragon Motor, taunting her along the way, but while Mugino was initially unable to catch her as she drove her scooter around the spherical planetarium's walls, ceiling and floor at high speed, the holes that random Meltdowner shots made in her road restricted Hanayama's course and allowed Mugino to predict her route for a kill-shot, the courier and scooter being blown away without a trace.

## Abilities

Hanayama rode a modified kick scooter known as the **Dragon Motor** (ドラゴンモーター, *Doragonmōtā*?), a proof-of-concept prototype capable of reaching 1100km/h without becoming airborne, though it is described as impractical and difficult to keep on the ground. Due to the high speeds, Hanayama needs a supply of oxygen and likely a generous application of gel to her skin.

Although it is mostly shaped like a skateboard with T-shaped handlebars like most kick scooters, The Dragon Motor has a large 3m long section on the rear of its board - this section has an enlarged cylinder resembling an unenclosed jet engine and likely a variety of other propulsion devices besides it. Several mechanical arms with sharp and heavy metal blades can spread out to the sides of the rear portion, like those of a spider. These can also shoot out slicing wires, which can be used to build a deadly 'spider web'. Both the blades and the wires are made from depleted uranium.
Isobe Bank

**Isobe Bank** (いそべ銀行, ***Isobe Bank***?) is a bank located in the **Fureai Plaza** (ふれあい広場, ***Fureai Plaza***?) on 7th street. It is located near Crepe Rablm.

## Chronology

### Toaru Kagaku no Railgun

#### Level Upper Arc

*Main article: Level Upper Arc*
On July 16, after buying crêpes from Crêpe Rablm and receiving a Gekota mascot, Misaka, Kuroko, Uiharu, and Saten gathered around a bench near the crêpe store. While eating and enjoying themselves, Uiharu noticed that the Isobe Bank across the street had its security shutters all closed. Shortly after she noticed this the shutters exploded open with flames. Kuroko had Uiharu immediately contact Anti-Skill and to check for any casualties. While doing this Uiharu and Kuroko both quickly put on their Judgment armbands and got ready to assist. Three men then came running out of blown out shutters of the bank carrying bags presumably filled with money. One unnamed robber was quickly defeated by Kuroko and Okahara Ryouta was taken out next. The final while trying to escape grabbed a nearby child to use as a hostage. Saten tried to grab the child from him and both were smacked away. Due to this Misaka intervened and the final robber was defeated by Misaka's railgun as he tried to ram her with a car. Afterward all three robbers were arrested and taken away by Anti-Skill. It was reported that nobody (except the perpetrators) were injured in the failed bank heist.

The manga adaptation features this scene slightly differently, as Ruiko does not appear until several chapters later. Also, since there were no children in danger, the reason why Mikoto involved herself against the robbers was because one of them bumped into her, causing the crêpe she was eating to fall into her uniform.
Judgment 177 Branch Office

**Judgment 177 Branch Office** (ジャッジメント第一七七支部, *Jajjimento Dai Ichi Nana Nana Shibu*?) is a branch office of Judgment where Shirai Kuroko and Uiharu Kazari currently work in, making it the most prominent Judgment branch in the storyline. The branch is currently headed by Konori Mii.

## Background

The office is originally located in the Sakugawa Middle School. Its name is written on a door with a signboard. In the anime adaptation, the office can be found on the second floor of a 5 story building; the office is filled with many boxes that are addressed to the office, as well as other miscellaneous objects, making it seem crowded, though the office can hold several people at the same time; it also holds a small kitchen, as well as waiting area for guests. Later, the location of the office in the *Toaru Kagaku no Railgun* manga and in the *Toaru Majutsu no Index* manga turned into the place that came out of the anime adaptation.

The building is large enough to have a conference room, for members of the branch to conduct meetings.

## Chronology

### Toaru Kagaku no Railgun

#### Level Upper Arc

*Main article: Level Upper Arc*
As the focus of the *Toaru Kagaku no Railgun* sidestory is on Misaka Mikoto and her friends' adventures, the branch office is featured prominently, and this is especially true in the anime adaptation. The office is first seen during Juufuku Miho's attacks on Tokiwadai students.
Freshmen Arc

## Chronology

### Light Novels

The **Freshmen Arc** is the first story arc of *Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index*.

This story arc takes place a few days after the World War III Arc, in early November of the story's first year. Following the war's conclusion and the disappearance of Kamijou Touma, Accelerator and Hamazura Shiage have returned to Academy City, having seemingly freed themselves from the city's dark side and hoping to live their daily lives in peace. However they soon find themselves involved in a battle to protect a young girl called Fremea Seivelun from a mysterious group known as the Freshmen.
Ibotanokikouji Kaede

**Ibotanokikouji Kaede** (女貞木小路楓（いぼたのきこうじかえで）, *Ibotanokikōji Kaede*?) was a student of Tokiwadai Middle School and leader of the "Item" running the Colosseum, one year prior to the main story.

## Appearance

Ibotanokikouji has fluffy blonde hair with a few decorative braids. As a Tokiwadai student, she wears the school's uniform.

## Personality

On the surface, Ibotanokikouji seems like a typical ojousama with a cheerful disposition. However, in actuality, she is a very rebellious, stubborn, bloodthirsty and cruel person with sadistic tendencies. She has no concerns about the people who die in the Colosseum, wanting to decorate herself with their deaths and misfortunes, and takes the initiative to throw herself into the darkness. Ibotanokikouji is described as a "girl who seeks impurities because she can't bear perfection and disconnects herself from the world." She also has shown to have no problem using the alias of 6th ranked Level 5 to intimidate others.

Ibotanokikouji also maintains an ambiguous and intimate relationship with her subordinates, but apart from feeling sadness after losing her subordinates, she will not avenge or risk her companions, but chooses to protect herself first.

## Background

Ibotanokikouji's background is currently unknown, however, she did encounter Misaka Mikoto in her first year at Tokiwadai and claimed she was the 6th ranked Level 5.

## Abilities

Ibotanokikouji Kaede's esper ability is **Killer Press** (殺傷圧撃（キラープレス）, *Sasshō Atsū (Kirā Puresu)*?, lit. "Lethal Blow"), which allows her to accumulate and focus pressure, narrowing it down and launching it at her target like an invisible spear. As a student of Tokiwadai Middle School, it can be assumed to be either Level 3 or 4.
Gleipnir

**Gleipnir** (グレイプニル, ***Gleipnir***?) is a set of spiritual items, crafted by Ellasone and based off the dwarven-forged chain which was used to bind Fenrir until Ragnarok in Norse mythology, which are used to protect St. Julian's Cathedral.

## Etymology

Gleipnir (Old Norse "open one") is the fetter which is used to bind the wolf Fenrir until Ragnarök. Commissioned by the gods after two previous chains failed to bind the wolf, it was forged the dwarves using six supposedly impossible materials; the sound of a cat's footfall, the beard of a woman, the roots of a mountain, the sinews of a bear, the breath of a fish and the spittle of a bird. Though thin as a silk ribbon, it was stronger than any iron chain and virtually impossible to break.

## Principles

Gleipnir is a set of over thirty autonomous spiritual items, which react to intruders and intercept them. They are made out of magically manufactured steel and crafted into a number of giant animal-related shapes, including snakes, octopuses and bats. The metal snakes are over 15cm thick and over 5m long, capable of crushing marble pillars when wrapped around them.

Freshmen

Leaders| * Kuroyoru Umidori *(Formerly)*

**Freshmen** (新入生, *Shin'nyusei*?, lit. "*First year students*" or "*Freshman*") is a dark organization of Academy City created to defeat the latest intruders in Academy City.

## Principles

Freshmen target intruders who use supernatural powers not developed by Academy City. Because of their relation to the dark side of Academy City, the members are produced and maintained in secret bases all over Academy City, which are blind spots to the City's advanced surveillance network. They hold a grudge against "graduates" from the Academy City's dark side, since the "freshmen" were originally deemed inferior to them.

## Chronology

### Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index

#### Freshmen Arc

*Main article: Freshmen Arc*
When Accelerator finished his fight in Russia, the higher ups decided to virtually "praise him" by conceding to his demands of dissolving the organizations involved with the dark side of Academy City. The Freshmen however, did not like the idea and decided that letting the situation alone like that would end up becoming big trouble and thus settled themselves in keeping their activities going even though they were released from their responsibilities.

#### Agitate Halation Arc

*Main article: Agitate Halation Arc*
Freshmen are later revealed to have been specifically chosen by Yakumi Hisako in her Agitate Halation Project to induce the values that would artificially input Agitate Halation into Fremea Seivelun, and to test on its effectiveness. Needless to say, since it summoned both Hamazura Shiage and Accelerator against them, they played the role perfectly.

## Known Members

* Kuroyoru Umidori
* Silvercross Alpha
Hard Taping

**Hard Taping** (発条包帯（ハードテーピング）, *Bane Hōtai (Hādo Tēpingu)*?, lit. "Spring Bandage") is a type of special military-use ultrasonic wave elastic taping which is used in Powered Suits.

## Principles

It is the portion of a Powered Suit which gives it its mobility. The taping gives a Powered Suit a higher mobility than a fully-equipped vehicle and allows it to move at speeds greater than 10 times what a vehicle can. While meant to be used in Powered Suits, it can also be used directly on the human body to enhance and reinforce the joints and muscles to increase its mobility and strength. When used this way the user can gain a dramatic speed increase while still allowing for the subtle and minute adjustments characteristic of a living being. However as it is not meant to be used like this it puts a heavy strain on the body of the one using it as they will not have any of the safety devices which a Powered Suit has.

## Chronology

### Toaru Majutsu no Index

#### Skill-Out Uprising Arc

*Main article: Skill-Out Uprising*
Komaba Ritoku had Hard Taping hidden on his body under his cloths during his battles with Musujime Awaki and Accelerator. It was installed throughout his body and mainly on his legs to increase his mobility and leg strength. This allowed him to defeat Awaki as he could move fast enough for her to not be able to use her Move Point accurately. Since it was not meant for humans it put a heavy strain on his body.

#### DRAGON Arc

*Main article: DRAGON Arc*
As Hamazura Shiage is being pursued by the remnants of the Hound Dogs, he saw them moving at speed beyond that of special training and realized that they must be use Hard Taping as it reminded him of Ritoku.

#### World War III Arc

*Main article: World War III Arc*
Hamazura Shiage realizes that the people he fights wearing the Equ.DarkMatter suits wear Hard Taping underneath the suits as unlike other Powered Suits they are designed for lightweight mobility, while also lacking the necessary mechanics that normally give the operator increased strength and mobility.

### Astral Buddy

#### Astral Buddy Arc

*Main article: Astral Buddy Arc*
During last battle with Hokaze Junko, Houjou Arei made use of **Hard Taping Custom** (発条包帯・改（ハードテーピング・カスタム）, *Bane Hōtai Kai (Hādo Tēpingu Kasutamu)*?) and an electric potential elastic suit to strengthen her physical abilities.

## Notable Users

* Komaba Ritoku
* Houjou Arei
* Unnamed Hound Dog Officers
Ignis

**Ignis** (イグニス, *Ignisu*?) is a presumably fake explosive gas made up by Frenda Seivelun. According to her, the gas isn't harmful to humans when breathed in and quickly fills the space it is filled in. It is apparently a highly explosive gas as Frenda boasts that an entire sealed room can make said room a large bomb and explode violently even if a small spark is created.

## Chronology

### Toaru Kagaku no Railgun

#### Sisters Arc

*Main article: Sisters Arc*
As Mikoto tries to take down the facility she is in that is involved with the Level 6 Shift, she comes upon Frenda who has set-up traps against her. Unable to contend against the sheer power Mikoto has, Frenda tries to level the playing field by using a bottle of explosive, to which the gas she states is Ignis and one small spark from Mikoto can kill them all.

In actuality, it was a bluff to stop Mikoto from using her powers. The gas filled the room quickly because Frenda mixed the air with nitrogen using the vents. Needless to say, after Frenda gets caught off guard and one of her explosive tapes accidentally explodes, Mikoto soon discovers that Frenda is lying.

It is unknown if such an explosive is truly available in Academy City.
