THE STORY:

Ivy was told she had to go on a mission to find this Miki Yamada chick, so off she went to Miki’s college. She met with her, said she was looking for a roommate, and commented on the ESP book she was reading. Ivy listened to her gab for a long time and then offered her own knowledge on the subject, which intrigued Miki (of course). They made a date to have Ivy show her the house. Later, the date came through, and Miki learned all about Ivy’s roommates and agreed to live there. In Book 3, had some of the house members participate in a grad student’s experimental administering of some tests as a side plot.
