Temperature Control in Academy City

As long as you are in Academy City, you must wear school uniforms whether you are at school or on vacation. Among the five famous schools in Academy City, only Tokiwadai has such an annoying school rule.

Perhaps you can take this opportunity to propose something, such as only wearing school uniform when you are at school.

As he was thinking, Natsume fell into a state of divergent thoughts.

"Natsume-san, don't be so nervous. The chairman is a nice guy."

Teacher Da Gu saw someone with a strange expression and couldn't help but say comfortingly.

"Hey, Mr. Da Gu, I'm fine."

Having his train of thought interrupted, Natsume immediately shook his head in response.

This is the second time that Natsume has walked into the club activity room of the Urban Legend Investigation Club this school year.

Normally, the club activity room should be the place where students spend the most time, but Natsume's lazy club does the opposite.

As expected, even at the beginning of the new semester, the activity room was empty as everyone went out to carry out club activities, such as shopping.

If the school workers didn't clean it regularly, the activity room would be full of cobwebs.

After blowing away the dust in the activity room, Natsume found a seat and sat down with satisfaction. She came here to write a letter of advice.

It has been decided that this time she will hand it over to the chairman personally.

After sitting in the club activity room for a while, I put the suggestion letter, which had been revised many times, into my schoolbag.

Natsume took out his cell phone and checked the time. It was almost time to go to the chairman's office.

It’s similar to the feeling of an ordinary student going to the teacher’s office. There is always a strong sense of psychological oppression.

Although Natsume is a helpful, academically excellent, hardworking and diligent student, he is sometimes no exception.

After hesitating for a while in front of the chairman's office, Natsume Sonoko took a deep breath and then knocked on the office door.

"Please come in."

A powerful voice came from behind the door.

As Natsume opened the door, an old man in a suit appeared in front of Natsume Sonoko.

Opposite the door is a three-foot-wide desk with a large number of documents stacked on it, but they are all neatly classified and arranged.

"Good afternoon, Chairman." Natsume Sonoko greeted seriously.

The original nervousness disappeared the moment I stepped into the office, and I became more focused.

"You must be Natsume-san, good afternoon."

The chairman raised his head, took a close look at Natsume Sonoko and said.

After finishing speaking, he stood up and pulled out a document from the nearby information.

Natsume Sonoko was sitting on the sofa in the office, opposite her was the chairman of the board of directors of Tokiwadai Junior High School, and in front of her was a document.

"Natsume-san, the Academy City Council has issued the eighth assessment document. If there is nothing wrong with this document, our Tokiwadai Middle School will soon have a third level 5. As for matters related to level 5, I think I need to have some preliminary discussions with you."

Chapter 173 Special Credits

Natsume Sonoko sat upright, looking a little restrained, but her mind was still thinking about the document that the chairman had just handed to her.

Rather than a document, it is more like a special agreement, and it is also the main reason why the chairman asked me to come here this time.

As mentioned before, transferring schools is not prohibited in Academy City.

For example, Shigefuku is preparing to transfer to Tokiwadai Junior High School.

After these days, Chongfu passed the qualification assessment and two re-examinations, and his results were quite good.

According to Tokiwadai's admission rules, you only need to go through one more round of interviews to successfully transfer to Tokiwadai.

Although these exams and interviews seem difficult, the most critical one is actually the first round of qualification assessment.

In Tokiwadai, a school that emphasizes ability development, level 3 is only the minimum admission requirement.

In the food chain of schools at all levels in Academy City, Tokiwadai Junior High School is naturally the pinnacle of junior high school, but it is not immune to competitors.

In order to avoid being poached by others, students receive high subsidies from the school every month.

Especially for the star students in the school, such as the two level 5 students, Tokiwadai Junior High School will give them great preferential treatment and convenience to ensure that there will be no transfer or the like.

"Natsume-san, the school welcomes the appearance of people with superpowers. Every time a superpower appears, it reflects the excellent teaching quality of our Tokiwadai Middle School."

"What do you think about the contents of this agreement, Natsume-san?"

The chairman of the board had a smile on his face and looked very happy. This was one of the best news that Tokiwadai Junior High School had received in the past year.

"Have second-year students Misaka-senpai and Shokuhou-senpai also signed such an agreement?"

Natsume Sonoko reviewed the terms in the agreement. Basically, all the clauses were favorable to the psychic. The only requirement was to stay in Tokiwadai Middle School, and at most, a permission for external publicity was given.

"I really miss these two classmates. They are already in the second year in the blink of an eye. And you have misunderstood, Natsume-san. This agreement does not need to be signed. As long as you stay in Tokiwadai Middle School, it will automatically take effect. It is not a so-called contract."

The chairman sighed a little, as if thinking of the other two students in his school. He immediately responded to Natsume Sonoko's doubts.

"Is that so?"

Natsume nodded, a look of realization on his face.

"According to the agreement, the school will provide a level 5 scholarship subsidy every month, and will help students obtain resources from the Academy City Council."

"In addition, due to the special nature of level 5 students, the school will also provide five to ten special credits that can be used as normal credits."

The chairman continued, his expression becoming more focused.

Natsume paid a brief attention to the terms of this special credit, and inexplicably thought of a certain railgun that had been missing for the whole day after class.

No wonder Misaka-senpai doesn’t have to participate in club activities and her grades aren’t affected.

The credits deducted for not participating in club activities can be replenished with this special credit.

But this one is actually not a big deal. Our club is very quiet and there aren't any activities on weekdays. It all depends on the self-consciousness of the members. Natsume actually feels very comfortable.

A new semester brings a new beginning. This month's club activities are about to begin. Natsume is thinking about the system again... and discovered some urban legend.

As for quitting the club after getting this special credit, forget it. After all, everyone is pretty nice and I really like being in it.

"The school has some arrangements for Natsume, as well as an electronic version of the agreement. Natsume can check the email himself."

"As for the level 5 assessment, I believe your dorm supervisor should have introduced it to you. The relevant research institute's assessment notice will probably be released today or tomorrow. By the way, here is a data analysis of Misaka's abilities. Natsume can take it back and have a look. Misaka's abilities are the most typical at level 5, and may be of some help to your assessment."

After the chairman finished speaking, he put away the agreement and nodded to Natsume Sonoko, indicating that she could leave.

However, Natsume just sat there quietly, and after a while he shyly took out a letter from his schoolbag.

Seeing the chairman's surprised expression, Natsume trotted a few steps and then solemnly handed it to the chairman.

"Mr. Chairman, this is my suggestion for the school. I hope you can take some time to read it."

Natsume-san's face was full of seriousness, and he spoke seriously. Natsume-san had already filled up an entire sheet of letter paper with complaints about the school uniform.

"Okay, I'll take a look."

The chairman was slightly stunned, then replied with a smile. He couldn't help but feel a little emotional, it seems that he is really a good student who cares about the school.

Natsume had a blank expression on his face after walking out of the chairman's office, but he relaxed immediately after.

In her hand was a medical examination report of Misaka-senpai, the date on it was probably June, and Misaka-senpai's headshot on the report was particularly eye-catching.

I don't know what to say. I have been with Misaka-senpai for such a long time, and Natsume-san has long known the power of Misaka-senpai's railgun. All she needs is a head-on shot.

Natsume Sonoko took a quick look and found that the data on the physical examination form was quite ordinary.

At least it is not up to the normal level of Misaka-senpai, the destructive power is average, the firing speed is very slow, and only the accuracy is normal. But overall, the results are far beyond the level of lv4 students.

From this, we can infer that in that physical test, Misaka-senpai did not actually use much of her strength and seemed more like she was just being lazy.

As if she had learned something, Natsume Sonoko's face looked thoughtful.

"As expected of Misaka-senpai, she actually knows how to hide herself." Natsume exclaimed inexplicably.

After sighing for a while, Natsume became a little distressed again.

The physical examination will be done immediately after the second semester begins, and Natsume is actually a little hesitant now.

The dorm supervisor had mentioned two testing methods before, but Natsume Sonoko has not yet decided which method to use.

One is the assessment of moves, and the other is the degree of ability development detection, represented by the A Certain Scientific Railgun and Mind Control.

Strictly speaking, Natsume is actually more inclined to test the degree of development of her abilities. After all, her abilities are universal, and she is as versatile as a Swiss Army knife when it comes to heat.

As for the assessment of moves, Natsume's most proud shock therapy is probably not suitable for use during physical tests.

Although it looks ordinary, in terms of the degree of danger, it is no less than atomic destruction and a certain electromagnetic gun.

This is a deadly move that can leave no grass growing within a radius of 100 meters.

But more importantly, including shock therapy, his ice control and atmosphere control are mediocre, more like a derivative use of his own abilities, which can be classified as ability development.

Thinking about it this way, the second assessment method is actually the most suitable for Natsume-san.

...

After leaving Tokiwadai Junior High School and checking out of the school garden, Natsume came to the Discipline Committee 177th Branch.

I just received a call from Chuchun, saying that senior Gufa Meiwei wanted to see me about something.

Since it was senior sister Gufa Meiwei who came to find him, Natsume immediately thought of the discipline committee training.

Although I don't plan to participate, I still have to explain it to my senior.

However, in addition to the matter of Senior Gufa, Natsume also plans to ask Hatsuharu to investigate those guys who are causing trouble for him.

This is definitely not out of revenge, it is just a reasonable way to solve the problem. After all, everyone is very busy.

"Is this true? I heard from Shirai-san that Natsume-san is actually the eighth person who will appear in Academy City."

As soon as she walked into the gate, Natsume Sonoko was caught off guard by Uiharu-san. At this time, Uiharu-san blinked curiously and asked with special concern.

"It's not certain yet. We'll know for sure in a few days."

With a slightly red face, Natsume Sonoko said a little embarrassedly.

Chapter 174: My club activities are quite busy

Natsume held his chin with his hands on the side of Hatsuharu's desk, and stared at Hatsuharu's fingers dancing on the keyboard like butterflies in a trance.

"Hatsuharu-san, I'm really sorry to bother you."

Natsume Sonoko said in a daze, her pupils slightly dilated.

"No, I'm already very happy to be able to help Natsume-san."

Although I already knew that Hatsuharu-san was very good with computers, seeing it in person was even more impressive.

It felt so effortless, even the expression on Hatsuharu's face didn't change, and she managed to solve the problem that Natsume-san thought was very troublesome while drinking tea and eating snacks.

It only took a few minutes to find what Natsume wanted from the vast ocean of the Internet.

Just like entering keywords into the search bar, Hatsuharu-san feels similarly to this.

As various information related to the Absolute Ability Evolution Plan was intercepted, the information of each researcher was continuously and automatically compared with the intercepted data. Rows of suspicious people appeared on the computer screen, and the number was constantly increasing.

Judging from the intercepted information, there is very little information before the end of the Absolute Ability Project.

But after it was abolished, all kinds of information began to circulate on the Internet, and many researchers discussed it publicly.

Of course, this disclosure is only within the researchers.

However, as this list came out, Natsume Sonoko became hesitant again because the list was too complete.

To put it simply, there are too many people involved in the above. There are at least more than thirty research institutes and nearly five or six hundred people who have more or less participated in the Absolute Ability Evolution Plan.

Moreover, these are just a few words circulating on the Internet, and no one can be sure whether there are deeper people behind it.

As a result, the list has little practical value.

While Utsukuni was talking to Sonoko, a page with a red alert popped up, but Utsukuni just pressed a few buttons and the red alert was immediately eliminated.

Unless he is not connected to the Internet, Hatsuharu can enter almost any place in Academy City where the Internet can extend. He is known as the "guardian angel" of Academy City.

"I ran into some trouble. It seems that everyone has updated the system recently."
