(This is a non-Naruto CYOA that I'll be irregularly updating. The main universe is based on Index/Railgun, however, I'm also making it extremely interconnected with other universes. So, no real need to know about this universe, and what you do need to know, I'll explain.)
Bam
You roll off your bed, landing on the ground with a large thud. Life's natural, but very unpleasant, way of waking you up... You stagger upwards and look out of the window, causing light to fill your eyes. Already morning, huh? You let out a soft yawn and stretch your body... Normally, you're already woken up at this point of time, but a conflict you got into yesterday... had left you pretty much exhausted. Your right arm still feels numb from everything!
Oh well, it was a free day. You had no appointments today until later, with a few friends... They made the appointment for you, but still...
You take the chance to sit back into your bed, and remove the bandages from your arm. The deep cut in your arm has mostly already healed, and it didn't even leave behind a scar! Wasn't the power of (Magic/Science) amazing? Before you ended up here, you would've most likely ended up in the hospital for years. The (Church/Power of Heaven's Cancellor) was downright amazing, when it came to healing.
However, even that couldn't stop the fact that your arm felt basically paralyzed. It felt like that if you ran a knife across it, you wouldn't even notice! Sure, it sounded awesome if you got in another fight, but for every day activities...?
Boo.
Well, no time to think about that. You're glad the thing is still attached at the very least. Hell, you're rather glad you didn't die yesterday from what happened! Softly, you twiddle your fingers around, before moving to the door and carefully opening it. Since it was a free day, you weren't in (the Church/your dorm), and the instant your door opened, a wave of light greeted you. Along with (a small village, with a giant church in the middle/a vast city, filled with almost impossible futuristic technology). A cheerful atmosphere filled the air around you, it was almost enough to just make you feel better...
But...
What are you?
A: A Magician, with weaker, but more wide powers.
B: An Esper, with specific, but extremely powerful powers.
(A is the first in all brackets, B is the second.
Magicians are followers of God, with powers that can literally endlessly varied unless you're a Saint. They're pretty standard, while Espers are inhabitants of Academy City, having taken a special program to awaken their powers, while some are mysteriously born with them.
Generally, Espers have more specific powers, but they can be used in very, very creative ways, while Magicians can just learn whatever the hell they want given enough time)

B. Limitations are nice, because wizards can end up doing anything.
And if they can't, you're doing wizards wrong.
Wizards don't like that.

The light of the day, as well as various machines running amock in the city are what cause this extreme brightness. From how dark it was in your house, you have to squint your eyes for a few moments to not be blinded! "Uuh...rgh..." you softly mutter as your eyes get used to the bright light... You've been in Academy City for about a week or two now, and you still can't get used to the... technology here. There's robot-like cleaners everywhere to clean every single piece of dirt, there's a giant TV screen on most buildings taller than a few stories... Everything is connected to everything.
Hell, you used to be happy that your phone had wireless internet. The phone you have now is one of the worst in the market, and comparable to the strongest computer you've ever had!
Science is a fun thing.
Science... is a weird thing.
You were invited over to Academy City for a very obvious reason. You let out an almost disturbing amount of AIM. While this had no effect on anything beforehand, when you took the Power Curriculum Program, you got informed of a 'staggering' potential in ESP. You always thought that ESP was just a simple thing... however, there's Espers that can fry anything connected to the Internet with a simple flick of the wrists. There are Espers that can control the vectors of something to the tiniest part. There are Espers who can create an unknown matter, not just a matter science hadn't seen before... But a matter that could not, and would not exist until the Power User had simply willed it into existance with their AIM.
You don't really get what AIM is, other than that it's an invisible energy field created by your... Personal Reality, was it? From what you understand, it's basically the power of your mind brought into reality. There's probably some deeper, scientific explanation, but it hurts just to think about it.
Anyway, out of the people on this planet, only an estimated 60 million have the potential to awaken their powers, out of those, 57 million wouldn't even be able to advance beyond level 1!
You are in the remaining 3 million. While the Academy City doesn't have nearly that many Espers, having only 2.3 million inhabitants, and out of those, only 1.1 million have a potential for power. Out of those, only 200000 have reached Level 3, the level you are at now. There are 800 more at Level 4, and only seven at level five. As a Level 3... you are at about 1/20000th the potential of what you could be at Level 5.
It was kind of depressing to hear that, really. You're basically in the top grade, and still not worth a damn!
...
That is, until you heard about your potential.
The diagram your AIM gave was apparently suspiciously similar to current Level 5s, an example, some girl named 'Misaka Mikoto' was given, a Level 5 Electromaster. She showed the same energy diagram as you did, and reached Level 5. So did the six others. That was a bit of a pick up. You are one of the only hundred with that power, in a population of 2.3 million, you are in the top 100. Go you!
Even if worldwide experiments were to be conducted, it's extremely unlikely that they would find more people with the potential to reach Level 5. After all, every person with a field like that is immediately traced down and invited over to Academy City...
The chance to live in a city 30 years ahead of the rest of the world, without any worries whatsoever, who would say no to that? Especially with the ability to gain these cool powers that nobody else could have!
From what you heard, that Mikoto girl, for example, had a boundless control over electricity. The least fearsome of her powers is the ability to create 5 billion volts of electricity! Your powers would eventually reach that level, too, wouldn't they?
With a smile on your face, you happily continue onwards into the city...
Lets hope to not run into a fight again. Yesterday, when you fought that person... You ended up tearing open your arm on a spiked fence... You got a bit arrogant, and ended up blown away. Ack...
Your first and primary destination is that of your friends, the dorm of the-
A: Tokiwadai High School, the girls only school you attend to. You ended up in the same school as that Mikoto girl, and the same class as her younger sister (?), Kuroko. (Female)
B: Nagatenjouki Academy. There's actually no Level 5s in your school anymore, but it was the highest ranking school that would accept a boy. (Male)
Now... About your powers. They were most certainly powerful... But they weren't quite developed yet, and you had some problems in controlling them. You've heard that as long as they fall in that category, they're virtually limitless! That Mikoto girl, for example, has a limitless degree of control over machines, and can hack your brain in real time, as long as she can touch your head.
1: Metamorphisis. Currently, you can only effect yourself and random, smaller objects, and your basic skeletal structure has to remain, however, at Level 5, you'd be able to effect anyone and everything with a simple touch!
2: Electromaster. Like Mikoto, your control over electricity is potentially limitless. But, for now, you're restricted to simple magnetism and shocking opponents.
3: Move-Point. While it needs a large amount of concentration, you are capable of teleporting anything in your sight that weights less than 75 kilograms into a radius of 40 meters around yourself. Constant teleports are extremely tiring, however, and you cannot perfectly teleport yourself yet.
4: Aero-Hand. Control over wind itself. As simple as it sounds, it means total control. Even now, you can create powerful soundwaves. You wonder what you can do at level 5...
5: Radiation Bend. Control over every type of radiation. For now, you're limited to simple light and heat... but eventually...?
6: Kinetic Hand. Control over every type of movement. It's a bit hard to use now, you can't do too much more than keep something constantly flying at an equal speed, or accelerating something, or accelerating yourself. But the potential...?
7: Other. remember to give a wide basis to not restrict yourself too much!
(Believe me, in the end, each of these powers are equally broken, it's like a rule in Index. 'No matter how simple the power, expect it to be batshit insane at Level 5'.
You can suggest a power yourself as well, with 7, but please, keep it a bit... in tone, and at least a BIT sciency for now. And make it a category, not simply 'I shoot lasers'.)

Gender will have an impact on stuff, by the way. In the more obvious ways (You know people in the school you go to.) and more... obscure ways.

A1, pseudo reality warping hax go. Also epic lulz by turning people into embarrassing things by touching them. Also, would probably give us regeneration and healing powers<_<b
Seriously, think of just the mundane utilities. Pulling 5 star gourmet meals out of thin air, making gold with the snap of our fingers, making an awesome house by touching the ground, rewriting minds with a tap to the head and subtle morphing of their brain structure.
All of this and more could be ours if we pick Metamorphosis<_<

You guys make me sad with your fiendish wishes to be male again. We're male in almost every CYOA. No, I won't force yuri on you guys, seeing as every canon girl is straight, bar one who is more of a fangirl than a lesbian.

Is it wrong to be male?

Why do you guys want a power we already have in another CYOA? What is the point of coming into a new CYOA if we are going to pick the exact same power we have in moonlight?

Because we can do Kinetic Hand even better in this CYOA!

Because Mizu asked me to post:
Touching something does not mean you need to poke it. It means you need to indirectly touch it. If there's a rock on the ground you can manipulate, and you're standing on the ground, and you're say, at level 3, ten meters away from it, you can manipulate it.
Anyway, the 'ultimate power' you're getting lateron is going to be something hulk smash for the male, and something wide and varied for the girl. I'm not revealing anything more on it though

I have a plan for electromaster that will give us control over plasma and electricity to a certain extent and with those powers we should be able to indirectly control weather somehow!
As good as option 1 sounds I doubt that Umetal will allow us to become that powerful. When has Umetal ever allowed Shikoro, a person that can freely manipulate KE to truly use her powers to its maximum potential?

Shikoro has the ability to kick someone and reject their ability to create kinetic energy temporarily (e.g. move) and has... Well, I didn't even know what I did with Earthrender but it was ridiculous and can really kill any and everything.
Her parents have shown even more ridiculous versions of the above.
Believe me, especially in an universe in To aru, you need to be as ridiculous as you can get when the 40th strongest character has the power to instantly conjure 5 billion volt on your face.
