A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 963 Lin Wuming's Fighting Spirit
Staring intently at her colleagues who were looking at her expectantly, Aiho Huangquanchuan said, "We can talk about it tomorrow! Mumei, I'll take you home."

At times like these, of course we should unconditionally stand on the side of our own people!
Lin Wuming also learned about the "summary meeting" from Misaki Shokuhou. He wasn't too averse to it. Under normal circumstances, he wouldn't mind giving her face—after all, the guards had indeed provided him with a lot of help during this operation.

Putting everything else aside, at least the hardware facilities of this command center were all provided by the guards.

However, due to his low spirits, Lin Wuming had no desire to attend any meetings at this moment...

"Thank you all for your cooperation," Lin Wuming said, bowing to everyone from his wheelchair without getting up. "The success of this operation is due to the combined efforts of all of us..."

Because the image of Lin Wuming in a wheelchair is so deeply ingrained in people's minds, no one thought there was anything wrong with his actions at this moment.

Although Lin Wuming walked in on foot today and was sitting in an office chair instead of a wheelchair, no one thought there was anything wrong with it. People seemed to have automatically recognized the office chair he was sitting in as a wheelchair.

"I..." Lin Wuming glanced at the girls around him, "I'm a little tired right now, so please allow me to go home and rest for a while. As for the follow-up matters, I'll come back tomorrow. Let's postpone the debriefing meeting until tomorrow."

She had just told Kofumi Miwa that she wasn't tired, just bored. Now she's abruptly changed her tune...

Of course, Kofumi and the others won't expose him.

……

"They said they would personally handle the aftermath tomorrow," Misaki Shokuhou complained after watching Lin Wuming and Huangquanchuan Aisui leave, "but in the end, they still dumped the mess on us."

Because she wanted to keep her distance from Lin Wuming, Misaki Shokuhou did not accompany him to the Family Side this time.

Because of her example, or rather, her restraint, Misaka Mikoto and Shirai Kuroko were too embarrassed to follow and stayed behind on their own.

Of course, they weren't idle. As Misaki Shokuhou said, the action part of this incident was over, but the cleanup was just beginning.

This was also a complex and large-scale battle.

When giving instructions and directing operations, Lin Wuming personally guaranteed that the bounty paid to the armed group of powerless individuals would be paid out of his own pocket—this part alone would require a considerable amount of work to verify properly.

Not only them, but also Yun Chuan Juya, the de facto accounting secretary of the "Nameless Foundation," was called in for an emergency overtime work session...

"They're really reliable, Shokuhou and the others." Aiho Yomikawa said while driving. "My colleagues at headquarters told me that Shokuhou and Misaka are already handling the follow-up matters, which has saved you a lot of trouble."

“Yes…we really have to thank them,” Lin Wuming said. “But if I had known it would turn out like this, I wouldn’t have made things so complicated…”

If Lin Wuming had known beforehand that there wouldn't be a major boss asking him to take action, he wouldn't have gone through all this trouble.

If it weren't for setting up this command center myself, and unexpectedly assembling such a large-scale operation...

"Who knew the enemy was really just a bunch of scattered, disorganized soldiers?" Lin Wuming couldn't help but complain. "I even had high hopes for them."

"Eh~" Yomikawa Aiho drawled, observing the road conditions while also glancing at the boy beside her. "How rare, Mumei. Are you craving a fight? This isn't like you at all."

Because they had spent three years together, Aiho Huangquanchuan understood Lin Wuming very well and knew that he was not such a warlike person.

It could even be said that, compared to the girls around him, Lin Wuming was a rather mild pacifist.

That's why it was all the more surprising when Lin Wuming showed signs of wanting to fight. "That's normal, isn't it?" Lin Wuming said. "I'm a level 5, after all."

In fact, it was yesterday's battle with the waters of the rear that completely ignited Lin Wuming's fighting spirit and will to fight.

Lin Wuming was not satisfied with yesterday's battle, or rather, he was not pleased with it.

Strictly speaking, Lin Wuming didn't believe he won the battle on his own. Too many people assisted him, participating in the fight together. Therefore, the Water from the Rear was actually defeated by everyone working together.

In terms of the outcome of the battle, defeating the enemy is certainly a good thing, but from the perspective of a duel between strong individuals, such an result is obviously not satisfactory.

As Lin Wuming calmed down and reviewed yesterday's battle, the more he reflected on it, the more dissatisfied he became.

If possible, Lin Wuming would even like to start over and have another fair and just fight with Houfang Zhishui!
Of course, it's obvious that such a thing is impossible.

Therefore, Lin Wuming settled for second best and sought satisfaction from other battlefields.

This is why Lin Wuming is so eager to find a big boss in today's big commotion.

“Nameless,” Aiho Yomikawa said, “you mustn’t do anything dangerous.”

“I know,” Lin Wuming said. “Don’t worry, Teacher Huang Quanchuan.”

"Under normal circumstances, Mumei, you're really reliable," Aiho Huangquanchuan said with a wry smile. "But when special situations arise, your performance is really hard to trust!"

Seeing that Lin Wuming had actually changed his usual behavior and chosen to sit in the rear command center to issue orders, Huang Quanchuan Aihui felt very gratified.

In Yomikawa Aiho's view, it is definitely better to command others to fight than to go into battle herself.

—Since the summer vacation began, Lin Wuming has been to the hospital far too many times!

Of course, this does not prevent Aiho Yomikawa from being enthusiastic about charging into battle on the front lines.

Lin Wuming didn't argue with her, but instead asked, "Teacher Huang Quanchuan, what were your special feelings during your frontline operations today? Or, what do you think were the reasons for today's success?"

"Is this a test for me?" Aiho Huangquanchuan said with a smile. "Of course, it's all thanks to your command and coordination, Nameless! No matter how you look at it, you deserve the most credit!"

"Don't joke around, I'm asking seriously," Lin Wuming said, shaking his head.

“I’m answering you very seriously, Nameless,” said Aiho Yomikawa. “Your biggest problem is your indifference to what’s going on in the outside world. You know, your fame and popularity have reached an outrageous level, and it’s foreseeable that this is just the beginning.”

"Prepare yourself, Nameless," Aiho Yomikawa remarked. "You're a true celebrity now, and not just within Academy City."

“...None of those things matter.” Lin Wuming thought for a moment and realized that these things didn’t seem to have any impact on him. He was already a celebrity with the title of “hero.”

"More than that, what I want to know is..."

“I know what you mean.” Aiho Huangquan interrupted him, her expression thoughtful. “If I had to say… in today’s frontline operation, those secret organizations provided us with a lot of help.”
