A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 1072 Lin Wuming in Greenland

"You mean, Mumei went to Europe?" Kamijou Touma asked in surprise.

"Well, who knows?" Tsuchimikado Motoharu spread his hands and shrugged, then added, "Hey, Ue, stop overthinking things. It's a rare sports festival, can't we just enjoy the games?"

"You bastard..." Touma Kamijou clenched his fists, "Who on earth keeps bringing trouble into my peaceful daily life?"

"Is it my fault?" Tsuchimikado Motoharu pushed up his sunglasses. "This is the path of hell you chose yourself."

"Okay, okay." Thinking of Index, who was staying at his house, Touma Kamijou sighed helplessly—this was indeed the path he had chosen himself. "I was just complaining casually."

“Well, I understand your worries, that’s why I’m telling you to take advantage of this opportunity and enjoy the sports festival,” Tsuchimikado Motoharu said. “After all… no one knows when another unexpected event might happen.”

As a multi-talented spy, Tsuchimikado Motoharu was extremely well-informed, so he knew that the incident Lin Wuming had urgently set off to deal with today would most likely have fallen to him and Kamijou Touma if it weren't for Lin Wuming.

From this perspective, they are indeed able to enjoy a normal campus life here thanks to Lin Wuming's dedication.

Upon arriving at the competition venue, enthusiastic cheers and applause erupted from the stands—the parents and their friends, who were all in place, were even more passionate than the students on the field.

Moreover, it wasn't just the school's cheerleading team; the number of people in the stands who came to watch and cheer for the game was far greater than expected.

Students from many other schools also gathered there. Clearly, people were very curious about this dark horse high school.

Shiori Haru mingled among the audience, holding her phone while looking around as if searching for something.

"As expected, none of them came—Misaka, Shokuhou, and Tora-senpai," said Uiharu Kazari. "Shirai-san didn't show up either."

“Of course, since the Nameless Senior didn’t participate, why would they go to watch the competition?” Saten Ruiko replied on the other end of the phone. “I already told you, the Nameless Senior is no longer in Academy City.”

"Your urban legends are particularly accurate when it comes to things like this," Haru Shiori retorted.

“Of course!” Saten Ruiko said proudly. “The nameless senior said that all urban legends have real-life counterparts. This is a way for Academy City to manipulate public opinion—so, urban legends really exist!”

“Yes, yes,” Haru Shiori replied somewhat helplessly. “So, have you found the ‘non-metal’?”

“We’re looking for them,” Saten Ruiko said. “I just barely managed to break through the blockade… It’s terrible, the whole neighborhood is in ruins. Yesterday’s fighting was really intense!”

"Blockade? Saten-kun, don't do anything dangerous!" Uiharu Kazari couldn't help but worry.

“Don’t worry, this place is safe now,” Saten Ruiko said. “Besides, I got a special pass from Kumokawa Maria, so even if we run into the guards, we won’t have any problems!”

The so-called "special pass" is a document issued in Lin Wuming's name, which in most cases represents the authority granted by the "overall council member".

Saten Ruiko and Uiharu Kazari are also members of the "Nameless Force," so it's perfectly normal for them to have such privileges.

“Hey, Saten-san,” Uiharu Kazari’s tone suddenly lowered, “I feel like…we’ve been subtly excluded.” “Hahaha,” Saten Ruiko’s hearty laughter came from the other end of the phone, “Look at you, we’re not just ‘subtly,’ we’ve been openly excluded!”

"..."

Saten Ruiko continued, "It's not surprising that things turned out this way, after all, we're participating in the 'Nameless Force,' not the 'Nameless Senior's Harem.'"

Saten Ruiko was prepared for this outcome, so she had no complaints.

Compared to "love", Saten Ruiko values ​​"friendship" more; and her purpose in joining the "nameless forces" is also very simple, which is to witness the birth of urban legends and even become a part of the legends!

Nothing could be more exciting for an urban legend enthusiast!
While talking on the phone with her friend, Saten Ruiko searched around.

Suddenly her eyes lit up; literally, she was dazzled by a bright reflection.

The battlefield where two... no, three Level 5s, along with numerous Level 4s and Level 3s, clashed last night is now covered with silvery-white crystal clusters, like some kind of special crystal, refracting dazzling light under the sunlight.

“Ah, I found it…” Saten Ruiko murmured to herself, “Not in metal—it really does exist after all.”

"You really found it?" Hearing her friend's laughter, Shiori Uiharu exclaimed softly, "It's actually true... Urban legends do have real-life counterparts."

"Wow, that's amazing, Nameless Senior!" Saten Ruiko exclaimed as she pulled out the small hammer she had brought with her and started smashing the stone. "Another urban legend has come true!"

Since there was no one she knew in the stadium or the audience, Shiori Haru simply left early and went to a quieter place to concentrate on making a phone call.

"By the way, was what you found really 'non-metallic'?"

“It definitely will!” Saten Ruiko said. “I’ll send some samples to Kumokawa Maria and ask her to help analyze them… If I’m lucky, I’ll be rich!”

“Whatever makes you happy…” Haru Shiori said, “But let me remind you first, that battlefield area has been fully entrusted to the Foundation of the Nameless Senior for repair and reconstruction. Theoretically, those non-metals also belong to the Foundation.”

Saten Ruiko is also a formal member of the "Nameless Force," so theoretically she can directly possess a portion of the "Non-Metal."

"..." The tapping on the other end of the phone stopped, followed by a heavy sigh from Saten Ruiko. "Suddenly, I feel so unmotivated. But urban legends are definitely more interesting when you explore them yourself!"

After knocking off two non-metallic crystals, Saten Ruiko stopped—two crystals were enough as souvenirs and a gift for Uiharu Shiori.

“By the way,” Saten Ruiko sat down on the ground and placed her phone on the crystal cluster beside her, “where did the nameless senior go?”

As Haru Shiori operated her handheld computer with one hand, she replied, "Greenland, if the flight information is correct."
