Chapter 760 Preparations
Tokiwadai Middle School's annual open day event – ​​the Midsummer Festival.

The annual "Summer Festival" is a highly anticipated and important event, both for Tokiwadai Junior High School itself and for citizens who want to participate in the event.

Therefore, preparations for the event began well in advance.

Tokiwadai Middle School is located within the Gakusha-no-en (Gakusha Garden), a "land of women" where boys are generally not allowed to enter except in very rare cases.

Therefore, the "Seventh District Student Dormitory" located outside the school dormitory became the best venue for open day activities.

As for the other four schools in the Gakusha-no-Yuan area, they cannot hold the same open day activities because they do not have such convenient facilities.

Over time, it inevitably fell further and further behind Tokiwadai Middle School in terms of reputation.

“The Midsummer Festival…” Lin Wuming recalled, stroking his chin.

At this time last year... because he had just finished dealing with the "Fantasy Master" incident, Lin Wuming was recuperating and also went into seclusion to cultivate, so he completely missed the "Midsummer Festival".

Moreover, Tokiwadai Middle School was also in chaos and turmoil due to the sudden dissolution of the Sa faction.

Although the "Midsummer Festival" was ultimately held successfully, the event itself did not have a high profile.

Perhaps in an effort to "avenge their previous humiliation," Tokiwadai Middle School placed great importance on this year's "Summer Festival," even having all the students in the "Seventh District Student Dormitory" dress up as "maids" to entertain visitors.

In addition, "professional maids" were specially invited to provide training and assistance.

As an outstanding student representative of the Ryouran Housekeeping Girls' School, Yun Chuanju was naturally chosen as one of the representatives to go and help.

That's why she needed to ask Lin Wuming for leave and remind Misaka Mikoto and Shirai Kuroko to go back for training.

Misaka Mikoto seemed uninterested and listless because she found it troublesome.

However, she quickly cheered up: "By the way, Nameless Senior, you happen to be free this year, you must come to the Summer Festival!"

"Of course!" Lin Wuming nodded; he was indeed very interested. "I will definitely go."

"Alright!" Clenching her fist, Misaka Mikoto finally mustered her energy. "I finally have motivation!"

“We’ll be visiting too, so remember to treat us well,” Misaki Shokuhou said with a smile.

Only students from the Seventh School District's dormitory are required to play the role of "maids." As for students in the dormitories inside the school's grounds, they are not required to participate in the "Summer Festival" activities and can even visit as visitors.

"That's too cunning," Misaka Mikoto complained. "Since we're all students from Tokiwadai Middle School, come and help me out!"

In Misaka Mikoto's opinion, it was one thing for Shokuhou Misaki not to help entertain the guests, but for her to have to entertain her instead was really annoying.

—It's even more despicable that they would interfere with my entertaining of an unknown senior.

Misaki Shokuhou looked at Misaka Mikoto with a smile, as if she were joking, but she also seemed to be serious.

In short, Misaka Mikoto needs to prepare for the "Summer Festival" in the days to come, so she can no longer spend all day outside like before.

What reassured her was that Misaki Shokuhou didn't seem to take the opportunity to do anything.

Lin Wuming and Misaki Shokuhou seem to be serious about joining forces with Theristina to deal with Kihara Gensei.

This new alliance did indeed take action, beginning a comprehensive investigation into intelligence regarding the "Kihara." Of course, such an almost blatant investigation could not escape the eyes of the "Kihara clan."

In fact, on the very day they began their investigation, they were noticed by the members of the Kihara clan. After all, Academy City was essentially a giant laboratory for the Kiharas, their domain.

However, despite sharing the same name, the "Kihara clan" is not a single entity.

Lin Wuming and Theristina made it clear that their operation was solely aimed at Kihara Gensei.

Under these circumstances, the other Kihara members were mostly just watching the show, and some even took the opportunity to kick him while he was down. Therefore, Lin Wuming and his group did not need to worry about provoking the entire Kihara clan, and the pressure was immediately reduced.

Kihara Gensei himself didn't care about this, because he knew that his granddaughter couldn't provide any valuable information.

Having been away from Academy City and the Kihara clan for far too long, the information Theristina can provide now is merely "child's play."

The only real threat is Lin Wuming.

Kihara Gensei was the first person to start paying attention to and studying Lin Wuming, so there was no need for him to do anything extra at this point. He only needed to maintain the original pace and execute the plan as scheduled.

Therefore, Kihara Gensei was extremely calm.

……

“That woman Theristina is completely unreliable. We can only rely on ourselves to deal with Kihara Gensei,” said Misaki Shokuhou.

“Of course I know that,” Lin Wuming said. “Don’t worry, I never placed my hopes on Theristina from the beginning.”

This so-called "alliance" is more of a move in line with the prevailing trend.

For Lin Wuming, it was simply a matter of seizing the opportunity presented by Theristina to bring his conflict with Kihara Gensei to the forefront.

Lin Wuming... Strictly speaking, it should be that Misaki Shokuhou and Gensei Kihara have an irreconcilable conflict—the backdoor program of the "external brain" is still in Gensei Kihara's hands, which is equivalent to having a "hostage" in the other party's hands.

Unlike in the original work, considering practical needs, Misaki Shokuhou does not intend to destroy the "External Brain," but rather wants to completely master this exclusive equipment to enhance her strength.

In this situation, if one wants to completely control the "external brain," a conflict with Kihara Gensei is inevitable.

Moreover, Kihara Gensei has conducted numerous illegal experiments, so it's only natural that "hero" Lin Wuming would take action against him once he has a clue.

Coincidentally, Mr. Kiyama Harumi's experience at this time provided a suitable reason, making everything seem logical and natural...

Most importantly, Lin Wuming believed that his strength was now sufficient—he could now declare war on Kihara Gensei head-on.

Whether it's power, influence, influence, or direct combat ability, Lin Wuming has now reached the corresponding level and no longer needs to be as cautious as he was at the beginning of his transmigration.

In short – the time is ripe, there's no need to wait any longer.

Furthermore, according to the original storyline, Kihara Gensei will be causing trouble for Misaka Mikoto during the Daihasei Festival shortly after the start of the next semester.

Although it's unknown whether he will take the same actions as in the original story in reality, Lin Wuming doesn't want to see that kind of development again, so he has to prepare for the worst in advance.
