Shokuhou notices that whoever framed Junko wanted Shokuhou to notice. Blatantly Senya the Astral Projector to those who’ve read Astral Buddy…
1 of the 2 other Factions are revealed here: The guys attacking Shokuhou are apparently interested in the Shadow Metal AKA the Philosopher’s Stone(as anyone who has read the A Certain Magical Index Novels would know as only the Philosopher’s Stone has the powers demonstrated by Shadow Metal)…
The Philosopher’s Stone is Alchemy and Alchemy is Magic Side and apparently Magic was developed out of jealousy against Gemstone Espers… In otherwords the Magic Side’s oldest Artifacts where they get their Magic Power from were forged from Shadow Metal resulting from powerful Gemstones clashing against one another.
The fact that Senya got Junko in trouble deliberately(just as she has done in the past) implies that she is possessing members from all the Students in the Election… I’m sure even the Student Council Vice President didn’t even notice Senya using her to send out a threat to disband the Cliques!
The girl Spying on Shokuhou might even have been possessed by Senya the whole time she was doing so.
