A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 938 Candidates
Tsukuyomi Komoe and Yomikawa Aiho know Lin Wuming, but the principal and other teachers do not. If Yomikawa Aiho, as his guardian, were to speak, she might be more convincing, but Tsukuyomi Komoe's words are really hard to convince everyone.

That's why the school specifically asked her to confirm with Lin Wuming himself.

"Please rest assured, the school fully supports any decision you make," said Ms. Tsukuyomi Komoe.

Her purpose in coming here was less to persuade Lin Wuming to take on the student representative task, and more to worry that "Lin Wuming himself actually wanted to be the representative, but was directly rejected by them"—she didn't want to cause such a misunderstanding.

The school understands this clearly. They know that the school is still in the accumulation phase. Although two Level 5 superpowered individuals have joined, it will take at least until the next academic year to transform their influence into the school's strength.

Before that, the most important thing is to absolutely not offend these two "living advertisements".

Ms. Tsukuyomi said, "Mimei, please don't have any worries. Time is on our side. All we need to do this year is give it our all at the Daihasei Festival. Our school does have ambitions to reach the top of the points rankings, but that's something for next year or the year after."

According to the high school's plan, the best time would be the year after next, when Lin Wuming and Yifatong will be in their third year.

Because at that time, both Level 5 students from Tokiwadai Middle School had already graduated, which would inevitably reduce their competitiveness.

Furthermore, considering the relationship between Misaka Mikoto and Shokuhou Misaki and Lin Wuming, it's not impossible to persuade them to attend a certain high school after graduation.

In fact, the possibility is quite high!

With four Level 5 students, wouldn't it be easy for their high school to take off?
However, there's no need to tell Lin Wuming about these "insidious schemes of adults."

As she drove, Ms. Tsukuyomi glanced at Lin Wuming beside her.

—Thank goodness it's not Misaki Shokuhou here, otherwise she would definitely be able to see through my thoughts, right? But Misaki Shokuhou probably wouldn't refuse to enter a certain high school.

Although Tsukuyomi Komoe was not particularly supportive of the decision to "use" Lin Wuming, she did not directly oppose it during the meeting.

Regardless, the high school was ultimately at a disadvantage when facing these Level 5 superpowered individuals. Unless Lin Wuming and the others involved were willing to comply, the school was essentially powerless to do anything about it.

Therefore, it is less a "calculation" and more a "beautiful expectation".

To put it bluntly, it's nothing more than wishful thinking and a "daydream."

Fortunately, Wuming is an easy-going child and shouldn't get angry over these things.

Ms. Tsukuyomi smiled wryly to herself. It was just a case of "the customer bullying the shopkeeper." Their ordinary high school couldn't accommodate two top talents like Level 5!

In fact, it wasn't just an ordinary high school; even Tokiwadai High School, which wasn't exactly ordinary, was extremely cautious in dealing with its two Level 5 aces.

It's understandable to manage some minor, insignificant matters—such as dormitory and campus discipline—but when it comes to truly major events, Tokiwadai Middle School pretends to be unaware and completely avoids interfering in the "private affairs" of Level 5 students.

For example, last night, "several girls wearing Tokiwadai Middle School uniforms fought a mysterious enemy outside the castle"; and then there are the Dolly and Dolly sisters, who are openly active on campus and have recently stopped pretending at all...

Tokiwadai Middle School is not unaware of many things, but simply chooses to ignore them.

"...So, how should we respond to the Operations Committee's request?"

After school in the afternoon, the teachers of Tokiwadai Middle School gathered again in the conference room to discuss new issues. "Due to various considerations, it is impossible for all the student representatives for the Daihasei Festival opening ceremony to be students from our school," the head of academic affairs said. "Therefore, we can only choose one between Misaka-san and Shokuhou-san."

"Before discussing this candidate, shouldn't we ask Misaka and Shokuhou for their opinions first?" Kawai Hagoromo-sensei said.

“That’s right,” said the teacher in charge of liaising with the Daihasei Festival’s operations committee. “According to the committee, they have also extended an invitation to a certain high school. If nothing unexpected happens, the other student representative should be confirmed—it’s that Lin Wuming student.”

The teachers present were not surprised by this news. Since the student representatives were limited to choosing from Level 5, there would only be eight people at most.

Among them, the second and fourth are not "students" in the normal sense—they are just nominally affiliated with a certain school—unless there are really no other candidates, they would not be considered.

The sixth person has also disappeared, or rather, there are so many people claiming to be the sixth person that almost no one knows where the real sixth person is.

The seventh person's situation is much better, but he gives the impression of being more of a chivalrous "wandering knight" than a "student"; and considering his personality, asking him to be a student and give an oath seems like it would lead to unexpected developments...

Therefore, in the end, the most suitable candidates were selected from four students currently enrolled at a certain high school and Tokiwadai Middle School.

And among these, Accelerator's personality is no secret. Anyone who knows a little about the inside story knows that the number one psychic wouldn't like this kind of thing.

Therefore, the final choice is clear—Lin Wuming, who has the title of "hero".

From the perspective of both personal reputation and ability, there is no one more suitable than him.

So here's the question: if a certain high school sends out Lin Wuming, which ace player should Tokiwadai Middle School send out?

"If the other student representative is confirmed to be Lin Wuming..."

Kawai Hagoromo and Mikinari exchanged a glance.

"Of course our school will send Misaka (Shokuhou) as our representative!" the two said in unison.

Then look at the other person again.

"That's the problem," the head of student affairs said with a wry smile, "considering the complicated relationship between them..."

After a pause, the head of student affairs continued, "I don't want our school's ace student to start an internal war prematurely because of a student from a rival school!"

Although this sounds absurd, you can tell from the reactions of Miki Nari and Kawai Hagoromo – even the teachers are divided into factions, so if you really had to choose between Misaka Mikoto and Shokuhou Misaki… wouldn’t they really fight?

While feeling a bit overwhelmed, the teachers suddenly thought that if the rumor about "declaring war on Lin Wuming" that they heard this afternoon was true, it might not be so bad.

It's really infuriating that a boy from another school is causing them so much trouble here!
Just as the meeting reached a stalemate, Ms. Kawai blinked and suggested, "Dragging it out like this isn't a solution. We can't hide it forever. Besides, we can't make decisions for them directly, so why don't we just ask the parties involved for their opinions... What do you think, Ms. Miki?"

"Is this the only way?" Ms. Mikinari looked at the principal and the head of the teaching department. Seeing that they did not object, she took out her phone and dialed Misaka Mikoto's number.
