Temperature Control in Academy City

"The 'Biochemical Intelligence' project, and the biochemical human experiment subject codenamed 'Jenny'."

After discovering something from the chaotic stream of data, Senior Misaka suddenly stopped what she was doing and her face became solemn.

Disciplinary Committee Branch 177, many people have gathered here.

"My father is finally willing to provide information. Judging from the quantity shipped by various drive armor parts companies to 'study C--', it is enough to produce more than 20,000 drive armors."

"The reason for the order is to produce unmanned armor for the security guards to use on daily patrols."

There was a hint of anxiety in the tone of the married senior.

Although it was not clear why such a large number of drive armors were produced, when she thought of what Fu Chunshu, the director of this company, said, she had a bad feeling after marriage.

"With 20,000 drive armors, is there such a huge shortage of guards?"

Saten-san held her chin in her hand and began to think.

"In fact, the number of power armors that this company has deployed in the security team is only about 500, and most of them are now distributed around the venue of the Academic Association."

"And in order to test the actual performance of these drive armors, the guards originally assigned there were withdrawn, and the security of the academic council was replaced by unmanned drive armors." Hatsuharu continued.

"Testing the practical performance of the drive armor? How unappreciated would this scholar be?" Shirai-san couldn't help but grin.

"I think it might be an attempt to launch a large-scale terrorist attack."

At this time, Misaka-senpai had already pushed open the door of the Discipline Committee, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

Natsume-san also followed slowly behind Misaka-senpai, nodding vigorously in coordination.

"Natsume and I just went to that unmanned factory and found information about the neutralizer there. In addition, there were some other things." Senior Misaka said breathlessly.

"Misaka-senpai, it's great that you found the information on the neutralizer."

Upon hearing this, Saten immediately smiled, and the others breathed a sigh of relief, except for Phoebe, who tilted her head in confusion.

Misaka-senpai nodded, took out her phone, and transferred the neutralizer information she had just obtained to Uiharu's computer.

"Hatsuharu, can we make it in time?"

After taking a breath, Misaka-senpai suddenly said with some worry.

"Some of the raw materials here are not common, but we should be able to find them if we investigate Academy City's logistics network."

Hatsuharu hesitated for a moment, then quickly started typing on the keyboard with both hands.

"That's good." Senior Misaka nodded.

"There is also the terrorist attack I just mentioned. We found out that Fuchunshu and his team created Jenny and Phibre, whose abilities are 'Phantom Diffusion'."

"It can materialize the illusion of the aim's diffusion position, and through the medium it can fill and control the drive armor. The purpose is to cause large-scale chaos in the Academy City. This thing is the medium."

As soon as Misaka-senpai finished speaking, she pulled out a familiar purple container from her pocket.

"Since Toharuki and his people are controlling more than 20,000 powered armors, the terrorist attack that Misaka-san mentioned is possible."

Senior Gufa sorted out the information everyone had discovered and spoke thoughtfully.

"The guards were transferred from the Scholars' Council. Fuchunshu and others withdrew from this year's Scholars' Council selection. In addition, Phibbery was attacked there."

"If you look at it together, then the place where the terrorist attack was launched is very likely the venue of the Academic Society."

Shirai-san reasoned with a frown on his face.

"But if it's really the Gakuen Society, how did they hide the huge Drive Armor?" asked Misaka-senpai.

"I remember that the last time we went to the Academic Association for a meeting, the vehicles transporting containers of sponsorship items seemed to be particularly frequent." Chuchun seemed to have thought of something and spoke immediately.

"Hatsuharu, quickly investigate the number of those sponsorship containers and the sponsoring companies." Shirai nodded in agreement.

"I found it."

As soon as Shirai-san finished speaking, Uiharu-san immediately got the result.

"There are records showing that personnel from the 'study C--' company moved a large number of containers of sponsorship items into the venue of the Academic Society."

“Move the container into the venue?”

"Well, because there were multiple power outages at that time, the staff's records were just a passing mention."

"And judging by the number of these sponsorship containers and their capacity, it just happens to match the number of 20,000 drive armors proposed by the senior sister after marriage." Hatsuharu said in one breath.

Chapter 213: Flood Drive Armor

There are suspected to be 20,000 powered armors in the academic conference hall?

Natsume-san and Phibre were sitting on the sofa together, both of them blinking in confusion and listening to Misaka-san and the others' discussion with their ears perked up.

Although Natsume wanted to join in the conversation, he was a little confused because he had never been to a research society meeting before.

However, if 20,000 driving armors are needed, 20,000 hairs will be needed. Thinking about it this way, Jenny's situation seems a little bad.

"In that case, we can investigate and dispose of the power armors in the venue before a possible attack begins." Shirai raised his head and said seriously.

"But we don't have the right to open the container and deal with these drive armors." Senior Sister Gufa answered hesitantly.

"That's true. Even if the cargo in these containers is indeed powered armor, it has entered the venue through the formal procedures of Academy City. Before a possible terrorist attack is launched, it is still a protected asset. The Academic Council will not agree to it."

Hatsuharu turned around and said with some concern.

"If we choose to get rid of these drive armors by force, perhaps even the security guards will not stand on our side, and we may even be arrested." Hatsuharu's tone became hesitant, and he couldn't help feeling a little discouraged.

“Although my father has contacts with the Scholarly Society, he cannot influence its decisions.” The married senior sister also shook her head.

“Then before the other party launches an attack, we can hardly do anything and can only wait passively.” Senior Sister Gufa bit her lip and said unwillingly.

The discussion among the discipline committee members became more serious and formal, and everyone was at a loss as to what to do with the new news brought by Misaka-senpai.

"It's not that there is no way. According to the information found in the unmanned factory, Phibeley can actually sense Jenny's location."

"However, the prerequisite is that Jenny needs to activate her ability."

Senior Misaka squatted down and ruffled Phoebe's long hair, speaking word by word with a complicated and depressed expression on her face.

“In that case, we still have to wait until the day they launch an attack.” Senior Gufa sighed.

"In fact, there is no need to be so pessimistic. Although we cannot prevent it in advance, I think as long as we are prepared in advance, there must be a way to solve the problem."

Chuchun consoled her with some encouragement.

"That's true. It's foolish to feel sorry for yourself here. I will continue to ask my father to find a solution."

After the marriage, the senior sister opened the fan, covering half of her face, and said in a very imposing manner.

"Then I'll help too. I'm serious about this." Saten clenched her fists tightly.

"Onee-sama and Kuroko will also do their best."

I don't know when Shirai-san came to Misaka-san's side.

Shirai-san, who has entered a serious state, seems to have lost the perverted feeling she had in the past.

"I want to help Phoebe, and I want to save Jenny and Futsuka Toshinori, and I want to protect everyone in Academy City. It's a little funny to say, and I want a happy ending that makes everyone smile."

"I have always wanted everyone not to be involved in danger, but now I am very grateful that everyone can join this matter regardless of their own safety."

Senior Misaka's originally gloomy expression began to fade, with obvious apology and sincerity on her face. She walked in front of everyone and spoke with her heart open.

"Misaka-san, this is the duty of the Judgment Committee. Protecting Phimbley and Academy City is not just your job. In fact, this time the Judgment Committee relied on everyone's help."

"Natsume-san, as the discipline committee member, I may need your help this time."

Gufa Meiwei walked up to a dazed temperature control, bent down and pinched Natsume's face.

"It's okay. I won't lose to anyone." Natsume nodded vigorously.

Being watched by several pairs of eyes, Natsume felt inexplicably nervous, but after all, she had seen big scenes before, so she quickly adjusted her mood.

Whether for Phoebe or for Shirai and the others who have joined in on this incident, Natsume will not stay out of it.

"Like what Misaka-senpai said, I also want a happy ending. Academy City may have many problems, but it is where we live. How can we just let it be destroyed so easily?"

Natsume Sonoko stood up and clenched her fists in an imposing manner, which immediately attracted the curious gaze of Phibreigh.

"And this time I have thought of a way to deal with the drive armor hidden in the Academy."

Natsume-san said in a serious tone, having become the focus without realizing it.

"Natsume-san, have you come up with a solution?"

Misaka-senpai looked a little surprised and asked hurriedly.

"Could it be that they transported the stone into the sky and then disguised it as a meteorite to destroy the Gakuen Association in one fell swoop? If they dropped it from a high enough height and combined with Natsume-san's ability to reduce atmospheric friction, perhaps that would be a solution."

Shirai-san held his chin in his hand and muttered thoughtfully.

Although what Shirai said was a bit unreasonable, it was unexpectedly a solution, but no one would really consider it.

Natsume Sonoko looked at Shirai-san in some confusion, but still subconsciously calculated the method that Shirai-san mentioned.

It doesn't seem feasible.

The venue at the Academy is quite large. In order to provide this level of impact, the height needs to be at least...many meters.

Although his ability can shield the impact of the atmosphere on rocks, as long as the rocks are accelerated to a certain degree, he will be completely unable to catch up, and will eventually be rubbed into particles by the atmosphere.

"Shirai, just listen to what Natsume-san says." Senior Gufa said helplessly.

"Actually, my idea is the water-driven armor."

Natsume-san raised the volume slightly so that everyone could hear it.

"In the entire Academy City, the terrain of the Seventh District is generally higher, but the area where the Academic Council is located seems to be lower."

Although he had never been to the Academy, Natsume knew its approximate location.

Natsume spoke out the thoughts in his head, but as soon as he said it, he was met with a wave of blank looks.

No one quite understood what Natsume-san meant, but they thought it was pretty impressive.

"I understand. If the scholar is submerged in water, the driving armor inside will naturally not be able to work." Saten said with sudden enlightenment.

"No, even if the Scholars' Association is located at a lower level, it cannot do this."

"I think what Natsume-san meant is to use the flood to force the Academy to move the sponsorship containers. We can then use that time to take out the ability medium inside the drive armor." Senior Gufa said thoughtfully.

Chapter 214 Drainage System

The water here naturally refers to rainwater.

No matter how heavy the rainstorm is and how much impact it causes, it is still just a common natural phenomenon.

Under the cover of this common natural phenomenon, Natsume's plan has room to be implemented.

At least before the waterlogging problem becomes serious, there will not be any extreme reactions within Academy City.

But if you want to make this fantastic plan achieve the desired effect, it is not possible to do it just by relying on the low terrain of the Gakuen meeting place as Natsume-san said.

"As expected of you, Natsume-san. The idea of ​​using water-driven armor reminds me of ancient military tactics."

After marriage, the senior sister lowered the fan that was blocking her body slightly, revealing a delicate face.

"Natsume-san knows a lot about the art of war."

Hatsuharu blinked and looked at Natsume-san curiously, which made the girl with the bun-haired hairstyle reveal a slightly smug look.

However, the scene before him was somewhat serious, and Natsume quickly restrained his expression and showed a focused look.

"The more difficult part of this plan is to generate enough rainwater and have it fall exactly where the Academy is."

"But leave this to me. The ability to control temperature is very suitable for changing the weather. This is not difficult for me."

Natsume-san's words were powerful and he seemed to be taking on too much responsibility.

Natsume plans to make use of the low-level clouds. Any one of them would be enough to keep the rain going for more than ten minutes. The clouds themselves are made up of small water droplets or ice crystals.

If you gather seven of them, you can summon a dragon.

However, the amount of water in ordinary clouds is still a bit small, so Natsume-san will prepare some larger ones when the time comes.
