Temperature Control in Academy City

...

Turning my gaze away from Misaka-senpai, the scene returns to more than ten minutes ago.

My luck today was so bad that even the plan that I had carefully prepared for a year had huge flaws.

Inside the football field found by Senior Misaka, there is a large-scale underground research facility.

It was already the day before the opening of the academic council, and the members of the Anbu organization 'study' had already moved the corresponding equipment and personnel here, because this place would serve as their base for commanding the attacks of the powered armor.

"I got a call from Saito, saying that the reason why the power outage at the meeting place of the Gakuen Association happened suddenly was because it rained heavily there and the venue was flooded."

You Fuchunshu turned off the phone in his hand, his face full of uncertainty.

Suddenly he threw his cell phone to the ground and pounded the table with his hands, attracting the attention of all the researchers present.

"We can't proceed as planned. I propose that we start now."

Fuchunshu seemed to be stimulated by something and his voice became a little hoarse.

"If it just flooded the venue, it wouldn't be a big deal. Maybe it was just an accident."

A researcher sitting at the end spoke hesitantly, seemingly disagreeing with Fu Chunshu's opinion.

Tomorrow is the scheduled time. We have been preparing for so long just for the opening day of the academic conference. How can we change the plan on the last day?

"Look, this is the surveillance footage fed back from the Scholars Association before the power outage."

The female researcher in the crowd turned her computer screen towards everyone, which showed a clear sky.

As long as you think about the actual situation at the venue, you can tell that it has been changed artificially.

"And if we want to cause enough water to accumulate that we have to cut off the power supply, we have to destroy the underground drainage system of the Academy. Everything is clear. The other party's target is us." The female researcher continued.

"So we can't have any more lucky thoughts. The other side has declared war on us. If we don't fight back now, then all our efforts over the past year will be in vain."

You Fuchunshu tried to calm himself down, raised his head and looked around at everyone's eyes.

"Then let's vote now." You Fuchunshu said without hesitation.

The voting results did not cause any waves. Even the well-mannered researchers could show extraordinary courage at moments that they thought were important.

In this case, perhaps only by launching the plan in advance can there be some chance of a turnaround.

Almost everyone raised their hands in agreement, except for Butsuko Toshinori who kept his head down and said nothing.

"Ms. Bushu, now we need you to do something to get 'Jenny' moving."

You Fuchunshu stood up and looked at Butsuko Toshinori in a commanding tone.

"I understand."

Butsuko Toshinori nodded slightly and did not refuse, but there was a hint of strange emotion on his face.

Inside this research institute, there is a culture tank that emits a light purple light.

Looking inside, you can see a girl who looks exactly like Phoebe sleeping quietly there.

The only difference between this girl and Phibre is that this girl has only one drooping hair on her head, while Phibre has two.

Butsuko Toshin visited here in a white coat, took a deep look at the sleeping 'Jenny', and controlled all the drive armors loaded with ability media according to Tomiharuki's request.

"Damn it, more than half of it is destroyed."

The corresponding data was quickly fed back here through the ability of "psionic diffusion", and the computer connected to the culture tank was filled with all kinds of dense data.

Originally, the Anbu organization 'study' prepared more than 20,000 drive armors, but now only more than 8,000 can be connected, and the number is still decreasing.

At this time, the meeting place of the Academic Association was in chaos.

With the use of 'Psionic Diffusion', the aim diffusion field generated through the ability medium suddenly changed and filled the drive armor like a substance.

The drive armor, which had been standing still like a sculpture, suddenly made the common sound of mechanical gears rubbing against each other.

The cockpit that was opened by the gadget was slammed shut, trapping some of the discipline committee members who didn't have time to leave.

"Bird of prey."

The girl wearing the Judgment Officer's armband cried out in shock as she watched her companion fall into the Drive Armor.

And just after a very short time, these driving armors seemed to be monsters awakened from sleep, their lowered heads suddenly raised, and all the joints in their bodies started to move.

A huge airflow erupted from one point, enough to overturn a truck.

A powerful pressure emerged from the interior of the drive armor, blowing the entire cockpit away. The married senior sister walked out of the damaged drive armor in a somewhat embarrassed manner.

"Is everything okay?"

Wannei hurried over and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Guangzi was safe and sound after her marriage.

The rain curtain in the sky has now become thinner. Although it is still a bit noisy, it no longer affects normal communication.

However, at this time, several activated drive armors raised steel hockey sticks and were moving towards this side at high speed.

But suddenly, it was as if gravity was lost. The center of gravity of several drive armors became unstable, and they fell collectively into the water while moving at high speed. Then, they were immediately controlled by the water flow of the students in the bay and firmly pressed into the water.

It’s classmate Puff.

Looking not far away, Puff Wanbin was panting and leaning weakly on his knees, with a reassuring smile on his face.

"Then let me deliver a spectacular blow."

After getting married, the senior sister raised the folding fan that was wet by the rain and officially announced the enemy's death sentence. With the explosion of several sky-high air currents, several drive armors disintegrated in the air in an instant.

"Is that Natsume-san over there?"

Finally, they had time to take a short break. After getting married, the three senior sisters suddenly felt a chill.

Looking back suddenly, somewhere dozens of meters away has turned into a white snow country, and large pieces of drive armor are frozen in place and unable to move.

"It seems that there is also Shirai-san." Wannei Kinubo said uncertainly.

As imperceptible mysterious cracks appeared in space, the two girls slowly fell to the ground due to inertia, surrounded by countless ferocious armored monsters.

One of the girls glared suddenly, and countless driven armors were instantly frozen into sculptures.

With another wave of his hand, pieces of drive armor turned into scattered parts all over the sky, and in the process saved the heroes who were swallowed by the monster.

Chapter 220: The Will of the Disciplinary Committee

When using abilities, there is no need to perform any unnecessary actions such as glaring, but some sense of ritual is always needed in life.

Compared to the legendary skill of making anyone pregnant by glaring at them, Natsume's gaze actually seems much gentler.

Things happened very quickly, and by the time the two people leisurely in the sky discovered that something was wrong, things had already become serious.

Fortunately, everyone was not an ordinary student. Most of them were active personnel who had received discipline committee training. There were no casualties, but some minor injuries were inevitable.

"Natsume-san, you can still hold on, right?"

Shirai-san couldn't help but become concerned.

Natsume hasn't rested since she started fetching water, and she is really worried about the situation of a certain girl with a bun.

Based on his close observation of the A Certain Scientific Railgun over the years and his summary of various aspects, Shirai-san actually has a good understanding of the class of people with psychics.

Taking the elder sister as an example, if she used her ability for such a long time, she would basically say goodbye to bicycles, but Natsume-sama seemed to be particularly persistent.

"I'm fine, just a little tired."

Natsume-san tilted his head, thought carefully for a moment, and then answered.

The loss of computing power is completely within the tolerable range, except that the movements just now consumed excess physical strength.

Plus, using one's abilities naturally consumes the body's energy, so he was indeed a little tired.

Fortunately, Shirai-san is leading the way, so Natsume-san is in much better condition than others imagine.

"But now is not the time to rest, there are still many places that need our help."

Natsume suddenly raised her head and looked at Shirai seriously. She was quite worried about everyone's situation.

And this was his own idea, and if something happened to anyone, Natsume wouldn't be able to accept it.

However, his words seemed to have an unexpected effect.

Shirai was silent for a second, and the way he looked at Natsume Sonoko was a little different.

Natsume, who is usually lazy and likes to eat and do nothing, is actually more suitable to be a discipline committee member than he thought.

Please be a little nicer to Natsume-san from now on.

Of course, there is absolutely no way I would give up on my elder sister.

After figuring out some things, Shirai nodded solemnly, which made a certain bun-haired girl who was always a step behind a little confused.

Holding Shirai's arm, Natsume had long been accustomed to the feeling of switching scenes like a slide show when moving in space.

Just like flying, you may feel nauseous at first, but you will get used to it and even feel it is not bad.

As long as he notices a change in his position, Natsume will immediately use his ability, and with his own heat map, he doesn't have to worry about accidentally hurting his own people.

I've never worked with Shirai-san before, but this time we were much more in sync than expected.

After moving several times, the range covered half of the academic meeting place, almost turning it into a miniature ice age, with Natsume's masterpieces everywhere.

After a while, Natsume grasped a pattern.

It is much easier to stop the driving armor from moving than to destroy it directly.

At first, I was thinking about disassembling the drive armor into parts, and then basically freezing the limbs. This saves time and effort, and is very efficient.

At the same time, it can also be preserved as evidence of the riot.

But no matter how efficient Natsume and her friends are, the enemy they face is still a terrifying number of powered armored troops.

In the face of huge numbers, powerful individuals don't seem to be as useful as imagined, even Natsume-san who has a huge attack range.

The 20,000 drive armors in the venue have been reduced to 8,000, and in the initial confrontation, the number was suppressed to less than 7,000.

Some were eliminated, but new drive armors continued to join the attacking team.

The discipline committee members, who were already exhausted, gradually could no longer hold back the powered armored troops that were rushing out of the venue.

The discipline committee members were never the first target of the driver armor, they just happened to be blocking their way.

After these powered armors break out of the gates of the Academy and wreak havoc on the streets, the dark organization called 'study' will hack into the network of the Academy City and announce that this is their latest achievement.

If you think about it this way, it is really just a large-scale public experiment plus a results presentation.

"We must guard the gate now and not let these driver armors get out."

Senior Gufa was in a very miserable state, with a wound of a medium size on her head, and bright red blood was flowing down from her forehead uncontrollably.

Senior Gufa hurriedly took out emergency medicine to stop the bleeding, while notifying all members through headsets and other communication facilities.

This is a tube-shaped medicine that has the effects of disinfection, hemostasis and wound healing.

It can also remove scars so as not to leave ugly marks on the face. It is a special version made by the Ghost Chaser Doctor for the Discipline Committee members.

According to prior intelligence, there are five gates leading to the outside world from the Academic Conference venue.

Since some areas had been cleared, the number of drive armors heading towards each gate showed a clear differentiation.

However, there was no time to assign staff at this time, and all the discipline committee members could only be responsible for the area nearby.

At this time, a large number of cleaning robots appeared one after another at one of the exits of the Academy.

The girl known as the Constant Temperature Grim Reaper was wearing a thin raincoat, holding a three-flowered axe... a handheld computer, with some stubbornness on her face, facing the drive armor that seemed to have no end.

"Gate number three is in place, now I'm in charge."

His fingers were like the most nimble butterflies, taking advantage of loopholes in the control systems of cleaning robots, and hundreds of cleaning robots around him were hacked in an instant.

By utilizing the several signal towers in the Seventh District of Academy City, it is possible to continuously summon nearby cleaning robots, just like what the cleaning robot company did when it recalled cleaning robots on a large scale.

As long as Hatsuharu is given the time and authority, she can build an army of cleaning robots and even police robots.

Of course, the premise is that there is a network signal.

"This is the Discipline Committee. I will never allow you to take a single step outside."

As she was talking to the emotionless machine like the Drive Armor, there was a hint of determination in Hatsuharu's eyes.

Pulling the shield armband on her shoulder vigorously, Hatsuharu Shikiri fulfilled the oath she made when she joined the Discipline Committee.

Almost all the discipline committee members have gone through months of intensive training and study, as well as various adaptability tests. No one can underestimate their will.
