Misaka’s electro-manipulation abilities – and delightfully destructive Railgun projectile move – make her a rock star in Academy City. The techno-metropolis is packed with supernaturally powered students known as espers, including Misaka’s flirty friend and roommate, Kuroko. She uses her teleportation skills as a member of the Judgment law enforcement team, fighting crime alongside her fellow agent Uiharu. Joined by their friend Saten, a spunky Level 0 esper, Misaka, Kuroko, and Uiharu have a blast taking on danger whenever and wherever it arises.

Another series of outtakes and bizarre sketches.

Continuing after the Level Upper incident, another phenomenon torments Misaka. A phenomenon called "Someone's Watching," its effect feels like the electricity in one's body flow backwards. With the help of her friends, Misaka fights against the unknown enemy.

Ruiko uses her nose to smell if Mikoto's lunches have gone bad. Shinobu teaches Mikoto some English words and punishes her when she gets them wrong. Misaka 9982 jokingly plays a Kōan on Mikoto. Shinobu gives a Misaka clone expert gaming knowledge which ends up making her a hardcore gamer. Accelerator and Misaka 9982 discuss their voice acting careers since starting in 2006. Mikoto and the others failed to notice that Kazari is with them, due to the latter not wearing her flower headband.
