Temperature Control in Academy City

"Staff at the venue are preparing to evacuate."

Shirai looked down at the ground. Although it was difficult to see clearly through the layers of rain, he could still grasp the real-time movements through the headphones.

"Did they agree that the Discipline Committee members could help?"

Natsume-san asked with some concern.

"It has been agreed. Senior Gufa and the others are now heading straight to their respective targets. On the one hand, they are cleaning out the energy media in the driving armor, and on the other hand, they are also dealing with foreign objects in the drainage system."

Shirai-san continued.

"I understand. I'll keep the water level down."

Natsume-san nodded and said.

As water gradually accumulated in various parts of the venue and gradually submerged the halls of many buildings, the power supply of the academic conference venue was immediately cut off by the staff.

These buildings do not have the luxury of waterproofing their interior walls, so it would be dangerous if there was an electric leak.

And once the power supply was cut off, the abnormality here could no longer be concealed from the outside world. It was just unknown how much time the arrangements of the Discipline Committee members could buy.

That Anbu has spent so much time and effort on the Scholars' Association. Once they understand what is happening, they will never give up easily and will most likely launch an attack in advance.

In order to deal with this kind of emergency, Natsume actually made a plan.

Thinking about the endless waves in the venue and some of the driving armor being soaked in water, it is hard to say who will attack whom at that time.

Only a small number of these sponsorship containers containing drive armor are placed inside the building, and most of them are placed in the open air.

"Everyone follow the plan. We now have the authorization from the Academic Council and can deal with those drive armors."

Staying under the rain, even the voices of people face to face were difficult to hear clearly, and we could only communicate through the headphones we carried with us.

The discipline committee members began to divide into several teams and started to act according to the divided areas.

The green shield armband was instantly wet by the rain, and even the raincoat was immediately stuck to the school uniform, and the vision was blurred by the rain.

The action had just begun and everyone looked particularly embarrassed.

At a location designated as Area C, Saten and a few others opened a dusty container with some difficulty.

And the moment the container was opened, a whole row of brand new drive armors came into everyone's sight.

There are various colors, and some of the driving armor's mechanical arms are equipped with offensive weapons that look like hockey sticks.

Chapter 218: Processing the Drive Armor

The rain curtain is like a translucent partition, blocking the extension of vision.

Water droplets kept falling from the sharp corners of the raincoat hood, and the bangs of hair were wet and stuck to the skin. Several people looked at each other, and seemed to be able to detect the unrest in each other's eyes.

At a close distance, the driving armor was hit by the rain, making a dense ding-dong sound.

In the natural dance music that was like stepping on the beat, Saten-san walked to one of the drive armors with a disassembly tool - a crowbar.

“These big things are meant to be opened like this!”

Saten climbed up and thrust the crowbar into the head of the drive armor, where the entrance to the cockpit was.

He jumped up and pushed hard, using all his strength, but Saten-san failed and was hung on it.

"Student, wait a moment."

The discipline committee member next to him was about to open his mouth to remind him, but found that he couldn't hear clearly in this environment.

Although the drive armor can be opened from the outside like a car door, it requires specific radio waves to unlock it.

The discipline committee members naturally did not have radio waves to unlock the system, but they had alternative tools.

This tool can be traced back to a certain thermostatic death god.

These drive armors are said to be unmanned models developed by the 'study C--' company. In fact, they are no different from a drive armor called HsPS-15 model. They just use the ability of psionic diffusion for remote control.

Under this premise, Hatsuharu found a company that provided the corresponding control system, and took advantage of some loopholes in the control system to create a small tool that could invade the drive armor.

However, this tool is ineffective against the drive armor when it is controlled by the "Psionic Diffusion" ability.

With a series of neat mechanical collision sounds, the drive armor cockpits that were originally tightly closed were opened.

Caught off guard, Saten stumbled to the ground and was quickly supported by the discipline committee member nearby.

And the moment it was turned on, the lighting equipment inside the cockpit started up at the same time.

These drive armors all have electrical systems inside, and are not the special versions originally prepared to deal with Misaka-senpai.

"found it."

After climbing into the cockpit, Saten picked up a purple container, which contained a golden hair.

"It is true. We need to speed up."

Saten wiped the water stains off her goggles and suddenly became a little nervous.

The cleanup work in various areas is proceeding in an orderly manner. Even though it is difficult to move in the accumulated water, no one dares to slack off.

Due to lack of manpower, we can only start cleaning from the higher areas first, and at the same time remove foreign objects in the drainage pipes so that the water level can drop smoothly.

The only two people who seemed relatively leisurely were staring nervously at the movements on the ground from the sky.

"The water level is starting to recede."

Shirai-san reminded that it was not to ask Natsume-san to increase the rainfall again, but to ask someone to pay attention to the amount of rainfall.

Of course, Natsume is also very clear about the specific steps of this plan.

After I came up with this idea, we discussed it together and came up with the final version of the plan.

Once again, he gave Shirai-san an OK gesture. The water on Natsume-san's head... Rain Cloud had been almost half removed, but the remaining amount was still very sufficient.

According to Natsume's estimation, the rainwater he brought with him was enough to sustain the process until the 20,000 drive armors were dealt with, even if part of the drainage system had been restored to operation.

However, the scene before him made Natsume's thoughts diverge.

Such a familiar feeling.

A guy with a bun on his head suddenly remembered a weird math problem about filling and pumping water into a bathtub. This can be considered as applying theory to practice.

"It looks like half the area has been cleared."

Natsume muttered to himself as he roughly grasped the points where the water level dropped.

All in all, there are only about two hundred people including Natsume.

In just twenty minutes, nearly ten thousand drive armors were cleaned up, almost fifty per person, which was undoubtedly a huge workload.

And this is only half of the total workload; we may have to face counterattacks from our opponents next.

"According to the time, those Anbu organizations will probably react soon."

Natsume was thinking about something silently, with a serious look on his face.

The weather today is particularly weird. From a long distance you can see a strangely shaped dark cloud running around.

It was raining heavily as it floated, and I didn't know where it ended up.

A hedgehog-haired high school student was throwing broken eggshells into the trash can. Looking at the half egg left in his hand, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Almost his entire body, including his hair, was soaked by the rain, and even the comic book he bought for Index was turned into an abstract painting.

When the young man named Kamijou Touma thought about being bitten on the head by Index when he returned, a confused and melancholy look appeared on his face.

"It's unfortunate. Can anyone tell me why this happened on a sunny day?"

Throwing aside the frustration in your heart, you wave your fist hard, as if you are punching the world.

Go to your world!

Just as he was venting his dissatisfaction, Kamijou Touma suddenly showed a look of surprise on his face, because a familiar figure jumped down from the wall of the building opposite.

The figure landed steadily along a parabola, bringing up a faint fragrant breeze.

The strong visual impact caused Kamijou Touma's hands to loosen.

At this time, the other half of the intact egg in Kamijou Touma's hand also fell to the ground, completely extinguishing the idea of ​​having a fried egg as a snack.

"Sorry, I have something urgent to do."

The girl named Misaka Mikoto showed an apologetic look, and only had time to say hello to Kamijou Touma before running away angrily.

"Mikoto, this way, this way."

Febree licked a lollipop in his mouth, put his hands around Misaka-senpai's neck, stretched out a finger and pointed towards the end of the road.

Ever since Phibre was rescued from the Research Council, the relationship between Phibre and Senior Misaka has become very harmonious.

"I understand, Phibre, let's go find 'Jenny' together."

Senior Misaka nodded, her eyes full of determination and resoluteness, she had her own things to do.

Holding Phibreigh tightly behind her, the electric light under Misaka-senpai's feet began to flash. The electromagnetic force provided a huge acceleration, and she disappeared at the end of the road in an instant.

Chapter 219: 'Spread of Psionic Energy'

Is this where 'Jenny' is located?

He asked Phibre, who was carried on his back, the collar of his school uniform was soaked with sweat.

After a long run, the girl with superpowers was only slightly out of breath. Her physical fitness far exceeded that of an ordinary junior high school student and she jumped down from a building that was a hundred meters high.

Before she knew it, following Phoebe's guidance, she had arrived at the 18th school district.

The other party had activated the ability of 'Psionic Diffusion' more than ten minutes ago. Misaka-senpai was actually very worried about the situation at the Gakuen meeting place.

But the more worried she became, the calmer Misaka-senpai became.

With the help of the earth's ubiquitous magnetic field and the countless iron objects contained between the skyscrapers, Misaka-senpai can temporarily stay in mid-air.

The interaction between her own magnetic field and the earth's neutralized the pulling feeling brought by gravity, and just as she landed, Senior Misaka stabilized her body.

If she continues to improve at this rate, Misaka-senpai will sooner or later become a new ace pilot who can fly freely in the sky relying only on the earth's magnetic field.

By that time, the maximum speed that can be achieved will definitely be far beyond that of a certain meatball head, because conventional power is obviously not as good as electromagnetic catapult.

Continuing forward towards the location pointed by Phibbere, the scene here is surprising.

Senior Misaka's pupils shrank into thorns, and she looked at the unexpected source of the 'diffusion of psionic energy' in front of her with some surprise.

It’s different from the heavily guarded research institute one might imagine, or rather, it’s not a research institute at all.

Even the patrolling security robots were nowhere to be seen at the door, making the place completely defenseless.

This is just an ordinary-looking large football field, and it seems to be temporarily closed.

Speaking of which, Misaka-senpai is somewhat familiar with this football field. It was chosen as the main venue for the Daihastari Festival last year.

This year, the operating committee of the Daiha Star Festival used this place as an ordinary venue and placed the main venue for the opening ceremony in the seventh school district.

"Then just rush in at once. Hang on tight, Phibre."

Misaka-senpai said softly to the person behind her.

She looked back at Phoebe, who was getting a little nervous, and took the time to tidy up her messy hair before walking to the tightly closed gate of the football field.

The piercing sound of electricity echoed all around, and the dazzling blue light illuminated everything.

The huge electric current kept changing according to the user's wishes, and it was like several extra arms, firmly holding both sides of the door.

Amid a sharp wailing sound like metallic hissing, accompanied by the creaking sound of the door, the dust on the ground was immediately lured by Misaka-senpai's high voltage current, and in an instant the sky was covered with dust.

Boom.

There was another loud noise that made the eardrums hurt.

It did not cause a dust explosion, but the gate of the football field, which could barely be opened, collapsed and turned into several tons of recyclable garbage.

In this gorgeous and eye-catching movement, Misaka-senpai quickly walked out of the smoke and dust, with an aggressive and sharp aura.

Today I must not let everyone’s efforts go to waste and will not miss this opportunity created by everyone.

Senior Misaka exhaled the foul air in her chest, and under the watchful eyes of the secret surveillance camera, she resolutely stepped onto the road covered with green grass.
