A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 933 Declaring War on a Certain High School!
"I do know something about that student, Lin Wuming," the head of the Physical Education Department suddenly said. "He was probably influenced by Ms. Huang Quanchuan Aisui, which is why he enrolled in that high school, right? After all, Ms. Huang Quanchuan is his guardian."

"What a lucky high school..." The teachers around couldn't help but sigh. This seemingly nonsensical reason seemed quite appropriate for Level 5.

"But then again, isn't this also lucky for us?" the dean of students calmly analyzed. "It's better for Lin Wuming and Accelerator to enter a high school than for our school to go to a computer academy for a while."

“Ahem,” the head of the teaching department coughed, “It may be inappropriate for an educator to say such things, but I am indeed glad that they did not choose the best school.”

Since Lin Wuming and Accelerator are both still first-year students, no matter how great their influence is, it is impossible for them to immediately translate into the school's strength.

The positive impact of Level 5 will not be apparent until the next academic year when new students enroll.

In other words, at next year's Daihasei Festival, a certain high school may very well become a dark horse with the potential to challenge for the "first place" title.

To put it pessimistically, this year may be Tokiwadai Middle School's best and last chance to win "first place".

"...In short, this is the overall strategy for this year's Daihasei Festival."

After some discussion, the teachers present finally came up with a set of strategies and tactics.

"Our goal is clear: to be number one in the school's rankings. So we only have one opponent—Changdian Shangji Academy!" The headmistress looked at Chairman Haiyuan, and seeing that he had no objection, she continued, "As for that certain high school, the only ones they should be concerned about are Accelerator and Lin Wuming, both Level 5s. We need to avoid their sharp edge and not waste our own strength on pointless battles."

Because one school is a junior high and the other a senior high, and they are separate for boys and girls, Tokiwadai Junior High and the other high school basically have no chance to compete head-to-head, except for team events and fun events; however…

At this point, someone said, "I've checked the competition events from previous years, and in some team events, our two schools might indeed run into each other."

This is not surprising, since Tokiwadai Middle School has some students who are all at Level 3 or above, and in order to maintain a certain level of fairness, they are often grouped with high school or even university students in team projects.

"I remember that Misaka Mikoto was very competitive. I remember telling her not to get carried away and go to duel with the Level 5 on the other side!"

"Ms. Kawai, your information is really outdated," Misaka Mikoto's homeroom teacher, Mikinari, said with a wry smile. "Misaka and Lin Wuming are a couple, how could they possibly be fighting? And with Lin Wuming around, they wouldn't let Accelerator fight Misaka, would they?"

"Huh? Is that so?" Kawai Hagoromo-sensei exclaimed in surprise. "But as far as I know, shouldn't Lin Wuming's lover be Shokuhou-kun from our class?"

As the two confronted each other, the teachers around them became interested and began to whisper among themselves, exchanging the gossip they knew.

"Enough!" The head of student affairs slammed his fist on the table. "You're teachers, yet you're here gossiping about students. What kind of behavior is this!"

"I remember there's also Hu Feng Tou Mi, she's Lin Wuming's childhood sweetheart..." someone whispered below.

"I've said enough! Stop going off-topic!" the head of the teaching department shouted sternly.

"Alright, alright, everyone calm down. Don't forget the topic of this meeting." The principal quickly stepped in and brought the topic back on track. "In short, no matter who Lin Wuming's lover is, we can be sure that there will be no Level 5 conflict between us and that high school, and that's enough."

Seeing that the principal had personally made the decision, the teachers below didn't say anything more.

As for the students' romantic relationships, the teachers present didn't really care; at most, they would just gossip about it.

As the former president of the Haiyuan Foundation just said, their students are excellent enough; therefore, as teachers, they have no right to meddle.

……

When the meeting was adjourned, the lunch break was almost over.

So the teachers left the meeting room and headed straight to their respective classrooms to begin the afternoon classes. Kawai Hagoromo and Mikinari happened to be going the same way, and they wanted to take the opportunity to chat and finish sharing the gossip they hadn't had a chance to share earlier.

Just then, several students who were also rushing to their classrooms passed by them.

After stopping to greet the teacher, the students continued walking briskly.

"...Have you heard?" The faint voices of the departing girls could be heard as they talked, "The Queen and Misaka-sama have decided to declare war on a certain high school!"

"Huh? Really? Why? Isn't that high school where Senior Lin Wuming studied? Why would we declare war on them..."

"Yeah, why did we declare war on Lin Wuming?"

Because the students had walked away, the two teachers didn't hear what happened next and stood there looking at each other in bewilderment.

It would be understandable if it were a battle between Misaka Mikoto and Shokuhou Misaki—after all, they both fell for the same guy.

But what's the deal with the two of them challenging the boys together?
Moreover, it was just decided at the meeting that we should avoid direct confrontation with two Level 5 students from a certain high school in order to conserve our strength to strive for the top spot on the leaderboard.

As soon as they came out, they heard this news...

"Students in front, please wait a moment!" The two teachers, disregarding their image, hurriedly ran forward to catch up with the students who had spread the message.

After some investigation, the two teachers finally understood the cause and effect of the matter.

It turns out that during the lunch break, Her Majesty the Queen—that is, Misaki Shokuhou—also held a tea party and specially invited Misaka Mikoto.

Because it was a small, private tea party, even members of the Shokuhou faction did not enter.

But the more this is the case, the more curious people become. These inquisitive girls are also incredibly proactive, especially when they possess various superpowers.

The details are omitted, but in the end, someone did indeed obtain "insider information" from the tea party.

Among them is content about two aces preparing to declare war on an "unknown senior"!

The news caused a huge stir, and spread rapidly among the students.

Unlike the teachers who were relatively out of touch with the news, the students of the same age were very familiar with the grudges and rivalries between the level 5 and level 4 students.

That's why the news that Misaka Mikoto and Shokuhou Misaki were going to declare war on Lin Wuming was so explosive!

"This……"

Teachers Mikinari and Kawai Hagoromo exchanged glances, unsure whether to continue teaching or immediately turn back and inform the principal and head teacher of the news.

Just as the two were caught in a dilemma, they happened to see Misaki Shokuhou and Misaka Mikoto, the two parties involved, walking from the other end of the corridor behind them.

"Huh? Declaring war on an unknown senior?" Upon hearing the two teachers' direct question, Misaka Mikoto exclaimed in surprise, "Why would we do something like that?"
