Temperature Control in Academy City

As expected, another stone giant over four meters tall appeared in Natsume's eyes. Index fell weakly on the ground, muttering something, while Misaka-senpai and Shirai-san were not there, perhaps they were still helping to maintain order in the underground street.

At this time, Feng Zhan Binghua, who looked very petite and weak, used both hands to press against one of the stone giant's fists, firmly restricting the stone man's movements in place.

The struggle between the two sides seemed to have reached a stalemate. Judging from the situation on the scene, Feng Zhan even had a slight advantage.

Natsume Sonoko's eyes widened slightly. Classmate Fuzan is really strong.

However, Natsume was not slow to act, and quickly used his ability to pull Kazezan and Index apart. Then an incredibly fierce gust of wind appeared, sweeping around the stone man and lifting him directly into the air.

Natsume also flew into the air with the stone man. When they reached a height of about two or three hundred meters, Natsume changed the direction of the wind, and a strong air pressure suddenly burst out behind the stone man.

Under the force of gravity and the thrust created by Natsume, the stone man fell faster and faster, and finally landed on an uninhabited open space nearby, creating a large hole more than one meter deep.

The Earth-casting tactic was equally successful.

Natsume Sonoko looked at the stone man that had completely fallen apart, and felt inexplicably proud.

Chapter 194: Sphinx

Steadily suspended in the air, Natsume's eyes were piercing as he watched this magical creation break into many pieces.

After enduring a huge impact, the stone giant lost its vitality as expected, perhaps its core was shattered, or perhaps it exceeded its recovery limit.

Even magical creations cannot ignore physical attacks, it's just that the methods of destruction are more special and more thorough.

Changing the direction of the wings, Natsume Sonoko's figure began to move in the opposite direction

Without even looking at the stone fragments on the ground, Natsume fully demonstrated his fine style of waving his sleeves without taking away a single cloud.

Sure enough, utilizing the power of gravity would undoubtedly be much easier.

It is possible to create airflow that can lift several tons of stone, and even a level 4 air user can do it easily. But if it is a stone man that can move and struggle, then the difficulty will be greatly increased, but it is still within the ability of Natsume Sonoko.

On the other side, Index sat on the side of the road, looking somewhat weak.

Index's condition wasn't too bad, but she had a worried expression on her face, and was talking to Feng Zhan, a classmate beside her.

"Really, Feng Zhan, you were too reckless just now. What if you get hurt?"

Index pouted and checked Feng Zhan's injuries with some concern.

Index was just shocked, but Feng Zhan actually rushed forward to resist the attack of the stone man.

However, Index soon breathed a sigh of relief, as Feng Zhan-san was not seriously injured.

"It's okay, don't worry about me Index."

"That classmate just now, um, Natsume-san, I hope she's okay."

He said that he was not injured. At this time, Feng Zhan Binghua inexplicably worried about Natsume Sonoko.

Feng Zhan Binghua wanted to help, but Natsume was too mobile and he and the stone man disappeared long ago.

"If it's the garden, there will be no problem."

Index looked hesitant at first, but soon became determined.

"As long as the ciphertext is destroyed or more than 90% of the components are destroyed in a short period of time, this human-shaped virtual image created by the Kabbalah ritual can be destroyed."

Index said affirmatively. The magician who used the spell came from the Puritan Church of Great Britain, so Index naturally had the corresponding records here.

"And Touma said that Sonoko seems to have become something like level 5 now. She's very famous like those TV stars. Maybe she can even get endorsement fees, a % discount on train rides, etc. She should have no problem dealing with a half-finished magical creation like this."

Although Index doesn't care about the so-called ability users, Touma seems to be at level 0. Sonoko should be even more powerful if you think about it this way, Index said seriously while counting on her fingers.

"That's it."

Feng Zhan Binghua's shy face showed some realization, and then he nodded.

She had no idea about secret codes, Kabbalah rituals, and magic, and couldn't understand why becoming famous could defeat magical creatures, but she still knew the meaning of level 5. After all, the place where she stayed was equivalent to a mirage in Academy City.

During the conversation, the ground shook violently again, exactly when the stone man fell to the ground and created a big hole.

When the shaking stopped and Index and the others came to their senses, they found that the girl with the bun had returned.

The wings on its back turned into dust in the air, and after a violent explosion of air pressure, a girl slowly landed on the ground. Her bun was swaying left and right in the wind.

With the discipline committee armband on her shoulder and a serious look on her face, Natsume Sonoko imitated Shirai and pulled the armband shield on her shoulder, then stretched the shoulder with the armband forward.

"This is the Discipline Committee. The stone man has been dealt with successfully. Do you need any help?"

After coughing a little, Natsume Sonoko said seriously, with a hint of pride on her face.

"It's Sonoko, so handsome. I also want to be a discipline committee member."

Index opened her eyes wide, stood up and jumped on Natsume-san, as if she was surprised by someone's appearance.

"That won't do. Not only do Judgment Committee members need to have a heart of justice to maintain the law and order of Academy City, but they also have very strict requirements. They need to go through a long period of training and intensive training, and they also have to pass a lot of adaptability tests. You definitely can't hold on, Index."

Natsume Sonoko said seriously, righteously rejecting a certain Index.

I thought Shirai-san's move was very cool at the beginning, and I tried it today and it felt really good.

By the way, Index doesn't seem to have a student ID yet, so she can't participate in the discipline committee assessment. In the supermarket where Index works part-time, no one cares about this.

"I'm sorry to bother you all the time."

Feng Zhan Binghua walked forward, bowed slightly in thanks, and appeared very polite.

"It's okay. Index and Fuzhan are both my friends. It's my duty to help my friends."

Natsume Sonoko was a little stunned. It turned out that Feng Zhan, like herself, liked to thank people everywhere. However, it seemed that there was no need to thank them because everyone was too polite.

He took off the discipline committee member's armband and handed it to Index, who was a year or two older than him.

"You can only wear it for a while, and return it to me quickly." Natsume Sonoko said in a low voice.

I looked around and didn't see Shirai-san, so I finally felt relieved. Shirai-san was a guy who was particularly concerned about things like this.

Really, Index, could you be more mature like me?

At this time, Natsume Sonoko frowned slightly, as if she had overlooked something again.

"By the way, why don't you see Touma?"

Index also put on the shield mark of the Judgment Committee, but not long after, she looked up with a strange look and asked.

"I remember Kamijou-san was supposed to be following us."

Feng Zhan Binghua thought for a moment and looked in the direction of the underground tunnel in a daze.

“So I overlooked Kamijou-senpai.”

Natsume Sonoko nodded silently and muttered, and she immediately understood it with just a little reminder.

"Then let's go back and look for him. I hope Touma isn't in any trouble."

Index said anxiously, and quickly returned the shield armband to Natsume Sonoko.

The three people realized the problem and started walking back, but before they reached the underground tunnel, they saw a hedgehog-headed high school student running very fast.

"Touma, you're taking so long."

Index looked very excited and trotted towards Kamijou Touma, then bit him on the head and waited for a while before coming down.

"Sorry, Index, I'm late."

Without explaining anything, even though he had a lot of wounds on his body, Kamijou Touma just scratched the back of his head and gave an apologetic smile.

A guy with a bun-like hair who knew the inside story couldn't help but look sideways. This senior Kamijou is really reliable.

"Natsume-san and Fuuzan-san, thank you for taking care of Index just now." Kamijou Touma pulled Index in front of the two people.

It was the routine thanks and you're welcome, and Natsume looked at Kamijou Touma thoughtfully.

“As expected, I still can’t directly sense the heat on Kamijou-senpai’s body surface.”

Natsume Sonoko has tried many times. Senior Kamijou is a black hole of ability. His ability cannot act directly on the human body, but he can observe the heat flowing out of the body surface.

But there was an exception in the case of Kamijou-senpai. It was not that the heat disappeared, but that he could no longer observe it.

Perhaps it was because his observation was all-round, covering Kamijou-senpai's right hand, that caused his ability to fail.

However, once the scattered heat leaves Kamijou Touma's body surface, it becomes observable again. After all, heat is an objective existence.

So, in Natsume's mind, Kamijou's calorie map became very vague.

"I almost forgot, Natsume-san, Misaka just asked me if I saw you."

Kamijou Touma finally relaxed after finding Index, and suddenly remembered something.

"Misaka?"

Tilting her head, Natsume Sonoko thought she was talking about Misaka-senpai. If we really want to talk about the Misakas in Academy City, there are probably more than 10,000 of them.

"It's Misaka Mikoto. Misaka Mikoto from Tokiwadai."

Kamijou Touma said hurriedly. He also knew about the Misaka sisters and reacted at this time.

"She seemed to know you were coming, and she was still looking for you until the underground street was closed, but she should have been teleported away by the discipline committee member named Shirai."

"By the way, Natsume-san, when did you become the Discipline Committee member?"

Natsume Sonoko was still holding the Disciplinary Committee's armband, Kamijou Touma said in surprise.

About five or six minutes later, some security guards who stayed outside the underground mall noticed Natsume's exaggerated movements and rushed over.

Kamijou Touma also informed the security guards of the location of the illegal intruder at this time, but when the security guards arrived, the place was empty.

"It's Sphinx. Why are you here from home?"

While walking on the road, a kitten ran up to Index. She half squatted down and held the kitten in her arms.

Sphinx, what a strange name. Does it refer to a monster with a lion's body and a human face?

However, this kitten has three colors all over its body, which makes the girl with a bun feel a little familiar.

Natsume Sonoko turned around and thought, isn't this the calico cat that followed the black cat to her dormitory last time to eat and drink?

Recently, the frequency of the black cat coming to my dormitory to eat and drink has decreased significantly. Perhaps it has been adopted by someone like this calico cat.

Thinking of this, Natsume Sonoko touched Sphinx's head unconsciously.

Sphinx showed a comfortable expression and couldn't help licking Natsume's hand.

"Sonoko, Sphinx seems to like you very much." Index said with some surprise.

Chapter 195 'Unknown identity'

Although cats are cute, the girl with the ball head has never thought about adopting a pet.

Raising a pet is like raising a child. You have to take time out and put in some effort every day. Natsume, who has been entrusted with the task of becoming Reiko's guardian, feels deeply about this.

Don't be fooled by Natsume's relaxed appearance throughout the day, he is actually very attentive in taking care of Reiko.

Speaking of Reiko, Natsume Sonoko not only has to take care of Reiko's meals, going to the toilet and taking a bath every day, but is also responsible for learning survival skills such as walking.

Reiko's roommates, Misaka No. 9982 and the others, have now accepted Reiko's somewhat strange lifestyle. On weekdays, she likes to lie on a wool blanket and sleep and daydream, and sit in her seat on time when it's time to eat.

Perhaps it is because of the presence of Natsume Sonoko, a serious and responsible guardian, and the fact that the muscles throughout the body are fully developed, that Reiko is now learning very quickly.

Inhale~~Exhale~~

Suddenly feeling a little itchy, Natsume Sonoko couldn't help but wrinkle her nose.

It was not until he found a few cat hairs of different colors on the tip of his nose that he looked at Sphinx helplessly.

By the way, Sphinx, you have been losing hair recently, and it’s quite serious.

However, Natsume also discovered at this time that after finding senior Kamijou Touma, the classmate Fuzan who was originally following him disappeared quietly.

"There's something wrong with classmate Feng Zhan." Natsume Sonoko couldn't help but feel a little worried.

The speed that Kazezan-san burst out was as amazing as her strength. In addition, she seemed to be intentionally avoiding Index and the others, which was completely beyond the limit of ordinary humans. In the blink of an eye, she disappeared from someone's radar map.

Feng Zhan is very special and is not a human being in the normal sense.

Beneath the skin was a strange crystal, hollow yet filled with a strange light.

Maybe it is the core of something, or maybe it is some condensed energy body, but it has emotions and thoughts that are no different from humans.

Although Feng Zhan has many differences, the feelings he brings to Natsume are no different from those of a normal human being. He has a heart as stupid as that of a human being, and is definitely not a monster.

Just when I was about to tell Kamijou-senpai and the others about Fuzan's disappearance, I noticed Index looking around.
