Saten Ruiko was having an inner conflict that was bothering her the most right now. Because she really didn't like the sight she was seeing, where she had to see the man she liked hugging another girl who was one of her best friends and taking selfies together.
Kamijou Touma, was the name of the boy she really liked. Saten first met Touma when she visited the judgment office where Uiharu Kazari worked, who was her best friend.
The impression she got when she first saw Touma, was that of a teenager boy with decent looks, a fairly tall and muscular body, plus Touma always looked sleepy like someone who didn't get enough sleep.
So she doesn't have a good impression of Touma, because he sees Touma as a lazy guy who doesn't have any good point.
Especially when she found out that Touma was a Level 0 Esper like herself, she became even more disappointed with the man named Kamijou Touma. Even though her little sister Kotori was a Level 4 Esper, Saten was confused as to why a brother and sister like the two of them could have such different abilities.
Flash back
But in the end, Saten's opinion about Touma changed one hundred percent when a level 4 Esper wanted to do bad things to her.
Because she refused the Esper's invitation to have intercourse. She couldn't fight that Level 4 Esper at all, because she was only a Level 0 Esper who didn't have any abilities. And when she was about to be raped, a big fire appeared and burned the level 4 Esper who wanted to rape her.
The level 4 esper rolled on the ground, as its burning body tried to put out the flames burning its body. Saten felt relieved that she was safe, and reflexively she immediately moved away from the evil man who had been trying to misbehave with her.

"Are you alright, Saten-san?" Asked Touma who was standing right behind Saten, at that time Touma was wearing the fire-producing gloves that he used to activate the Flame Alchemy that he used to help Saten. "He didn't have time to do anything to you did he?"
"H-He didn't have time to do anything because his body was already burnt before he could rape me," Saten replied with a face that had turned pale from the terrible incident she had just experienced. "Ka-Kamijou-kun w-were you the one who burned that Level 4 Esper who could control earth and rock?"
"Yeah, I just got back from buying snacks from the convenience store, and accidentally saw you being pulled by that Terakinesis Esper," Touma said. "And because I felt you needed help, that's why I followed you and helped you when he was about to rape you."
"I-I feel very grateful because you want to help me Kamijou-kun," Saten said who still looked pale but her body was no longer trembling. "But-but if I'm not mistaken you're a Level 0 Esper who doesn't have any great abilities except for the ability to neutralize another Esper's power when you touch it with your right hand, h-how can you burn that esper's body using fire."
"Hmm? Who said I was a Level 0 Esper? I'm a Level five Esper you know," Touma said casually. "And I'm the number 0 of a Level Five Esper, the name of my ability is Empathy Mimicry. I can permanently copy the abilities of other Espers around me. So my power isn't just Imagine Breaker which can neutralize other Esper's power. Regarding the fire that burned that loser, I didn't use any Esper powers at all. But I used something else I can't tell you about."

Ever since she was saved by Touma, at the time she was about to be raped. Saten immediately fell in love with Touma, because for Saten Touma was the prince on a white horse that she had been waiting for all this time.
It was just that Saten immediately felt disappointed when she found out that she had no chance of being Touma's girlfriend, because the boy she liked already had a girlfriend.
Moreover, Touma's girlfriend, Shizuka Kasagi was on a level far above her. Because in Saten Ruiko's eyes, Shizuka Kasagi was a very perfect Yamato Nadeshiko. So she didn't want to compare herself with Shizuka. But that didn't mean Saten would give up on being close to Touma, she probably wouldn't be able to date Touma.
But she can still be Touma's best friend and she will do anything to become one of Touma's closest friends.
It's just that Saten still didn't like it when Mikoto, who always called Touma an idiot, suddenly hugged Touma and took selfies together.
Saten didn't like what she was currently seeing and she couldn't let them cuddle like that any longer. That's why at this time, she wanted to separate Touma and Mikoto.
But before she could do that, Shirai Kuroko suddenly separated Mikoto and Touma by force and Kuroko even try to kick Touma's head.
But Touma easily dodged Kuroko's attack and reflexively Touma released all the joints in Kuroko's body from its path so that Kuroko had absolutely no second chance to kick Touma.
After Touma finished doing that to Kuroko, he excused himself to Mikoto and then he going inside the accessory shop.
Once again Saten was amazed by Touma's abilities. She knew that Touma had martial arts abilities, but she didn't know that Touma's martial arts skills could be that great.

Saten who was relieved, when she saw that Touma was no longer hugging Mikoto, immediately moved closer to Mikoto and immediately greeted her;
"Hey, Misaka-san, what are you doing here, and what happened to Shirai-san?
"Ah, Saten-san, I'm here to buy Gekota accessories, and when it comes to Kuroko, she got like that because of her own stupidity. So let's just leave her there for a while," Mikoto replied, giving a half-honest answer to Saten. "Oh yeah, because I want to take the Gekota accessory I ordered. So could you please look after Kuroko for a bit?"
"Okay no problem, I'll take care of this friend of ours who's a bit mental problem," Saten said in words that clearly insulted Kuroko.
Mikoto broke out in cold sweat when she heard Saten's words, and Kuroko who couldn't speak because the joint in her jaw loosened looked irritated because of Saten's words.
Mikoto then entered the accessory shop, while Saten crouched down and looked at Kuroko.
"My goodness Shirai-san, you should already know that Kamijou Kotori's older brother who is your superior is the strongest Esper in this Academy City," Saten said with a sigh. "For Kamijou-kun defeating you is not a difficult matter, and if he wanted he could even kill you before you even realized that you were killed, but you stupidly attacked Kamijou-kun."
Shirai Kuroko felt scared when she heard Saten's words which sounded so cold and cruel. She didn't know why Saten could say that to herself, but she realized one thing, that was as if she had done something to make the usually cheerful Saten Ruiko turn into a cold-blooded person.
