A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 923 Demonstrating Will
"I am!" Hearing Shirai Kuroko's spirited declaration, Misaka Mikoto's voice also rose a few notches. "No matter who my opponent is, I will not admit defeat. The nameless senior will definitely choose me in the end! No, I will make him choose me!"

"That's what I wanted to say too!" Shirai Kuroko raised her voice as well, but it wasn't an argument; rather, it was more like she was expressing her feelings and attitude. "Even though I'm a newcomer, I will do my best to make the nameless senior choose me!"

boom!
Just as the two were passionately declaring their stances to each other, the dormitory door was once again forcefully pushed open by the dormitory supervisor.

"Shut up!" the teacher snapped angrily, pushing up her glasses with an impatient look. "What time is it? Turn off the lights and go to bed right now!"

It's no wonder the teacher was angry. As the dormitory supervisor, she has the responsibility to patrol and manage the entire dormitory.

For a conscientious and responsible dormitory supervisor, she cannot return to her own room to rest until she has confirmed that all students have turned off their lights and gone to bed. This means that the dormitory supervisor is often the last person in the entire dormitory building to go to bed.

It's one thing if a student occasionally stays up late, but as long as it's not too outrageous, the dormitory supervisor won't really investigate.

However, Misaka Mikoto and Shirai Kuroko are repeat offenders, and with all the trouble they caused today, they have long been the focus of the dormitory supervisor's attention.

Therefore, she naturally heard everything that happened in the dormitory.

Influenced by the teacher's "bloodline suppression" of the students, the two girls, who were originally quite enthusiastic, suddenly fell silent and quickly stood up, bowing to the teacher at a ninety-degree angle.

"I'm so sorry, we're going to bed now!"

"Don't let me hear any more noise from this room! And if you dare to be late tomorrow morning, you're all doomed!" the dormitory supervisor threatened without any politeness.

"Yes...yes! We definitely won't be late!"

Pushing up her glasses, the dormitory supervisor let out a silent sigh, then said, "Besides... I didn't really want to meddle, but—how old are you? And you're already fighting over men! What kind of behavior is this! Don't forget you're supposed to be ladies of Tokiwadai!"

"Steal...steal a man?" Misaka Mikoto blushed instantly. Although the meaning was roughly the same, this way of speaking was a bit too vulgar.

Shirai Kuroko, however, was not to be outdone and bravely confronted the dormitory supervisor, retorting: "This has nothing to do with age or whether someone is a lady. We also have the right to pursue love!"

The dormitory supervisor scoffed, "The right to pursue love... you certainly have that right."

Suddenly, the teacher raised his hand and slammed it on the door, making a loud noise.

"Then get to work! What's the point of hiding in the dorm and arguing?" the dorm supervisor snapped. "Can Lin Wuming hear you? Can he feel your sincerity?"

Seemingly reminded of some unpleasant memories, the dormitory supervisor became increasingly agitated, showing signs of losing control and going berserk.

But she still remembered that she was a teacher. After taking a deep breath and trying to calm herself down, she continued, "Little girls, let me give you some advice: take action! Take action! So-called love is not something you can obtain by shouting slogans or being moved by your own feelings! Don't underestimate love, you kids!"

After saying that, the dormitory supervisor slammed the door and left.

The two middle school girls in the dormitory were completely terrified by her ghostly aura, and it took them a long time to recover. They looked at each other, speechless.

"What the teacher said...makes a good point," Misaka Mikoto said with a wry smile. "What's the point of arguing here?"

This wasn't the only time; she had similar "arguments" with Misaki Shokuhou and Toumi Tohkabe before.

Thinking about it carefully, it really is just as the dormitory supervisor said, all they do is make empty declarations and assert their dominance when the nameless seniors are not around.

It was less of a "confession" and more of a mutual intimidation among their rivals.

Shirai Kuroko pinched her brow: "The teacher is right, but I finally understand the concerns and dilemmas you had before, Onee-sama... because it seems that the nameless senior isn't interested in us."

Love is a two-way street; if only one side is putting in effort, it's called unrequited love, and it's unlikely to have a happy ending.

Since Lin Wuming hasn't given any feedback, the girls are now stuck in internal competition.

“Yes,” Misaka Mikoto sighed helplessly at the mention of this, “Even you feel the same way, Kuroko? I thought Mumei-senpai would have a better opinion of you. After all, you two spent so much time alone together today…”

“Big sister…” Shirai Kuroko looked at her speechlessly, “You still care about me, huh? But there really wasn’t anything special between me and the nameless senior. We were just taking a normal walk. And the route was directly from the windowless building to the hospital. We didn’t go anywhere else.”

Shirai Kuroko explained, "Because it relies on walking, the speed is slow, and it takes longer, that's all..."

“I know, no need to explain.” Misaka Mikoto waved her hand. “I can see your movement route.”

"Huh?" Shirai Kuroko immediately realized, "The nameless senior's phone? A location tracking program?"

Misaka Mikoto didn't try to hide anything: "Because of the battles, the nameless senior's phone is often damaged and replaced, so the location tracking program isn't very useful."

"No denial...did they really pretend?" Shirai Kuroko retorted.

“This is quite common, isn’t it?” Misaka Mikoto didn’t see anything wrong with it. “Couples locating each other’s information—similar packages are quite popular.”

“However, I directly locked onto the nameless senior’s cell phone signal,” Misaka Mikoto said. “After all, the cell phone keeps changing, but the nameless senior’s personal number has never changed, so the accuracy of the location is very high.”

"You can actually do something like that?" Shirai Kuroko asked in surprise.

“What’s so surprising?” Misaka Mikoto retorted. “I’m a Level 5! Tracking and locating someone’s cell phone signal isn’t difficult. Besides, I’m only at this level. You know, Shokuhou can even communicate telepathically with the Nameless-senpai without regard to distance!”

—This is unacceptable! What are these two Level 5s doing with their precious superpowers?!

Shirai Kuroko knew all along that the competition for the "unknown senior" was fierce, but she never expected it to develop to this extent!
As expected of Level 5, their actions are incredibly diverse, bold, and unrestrained!
