Temperature Control in Academy City

There was a hint of triumph on his face, but he still looked dazed, and Natsume-san's expression seemed a little dull.

From the family restaurant, we followed the car all the way to the leisure promenade, which is a place for tourists to rest and cool off, with dense pavilions and trees everywhere.

Of course, there are many students and tourists at this time. Since the battle ended so quickly, they didn't seem to notice anything happening here.

The pilot Natsume Sonoko landed steadily on the grass, with her hands on her hips, looking very proud, and looked at the three unconscious girls stacked together with some curiosity.

This girl group seems to be relatively young, and their clothes are so strange, just like magical girls.

Oh yeah, if it's a magical girl.

As if she had thought of something, Natsume Sonoko took out the pendant of the third-generation magical girl Kanami from her pocket.

He frowned and walked around the three girls a few times, nodded secretly, and compared them. There were indeed some similarities.

The witch-like coat and hat were also very suspicious. One of the girls was holding a broom in her hand. Most people would not dress like this.

As expected, art comes from reality, and Magical Girl Kana is true to me.

Although Index and Kanzaki Kaori are also magical girls, they don't quite fit the image that Natsume imagines.

"She should be a magician, and a magical girl."

A guy with a bun on his head nodded silently, and used a clumsy way to classify the three people in front of him as people on the magic side.

Even though he is a magician, as long as he is still a human being, Natsume has a chance of winning. He is an expert at sneak attacks.

However, it can only deal with magicians, not magic itself.

When Natsume thought of the magic circle that could change time and even change people's cognition, he felt uncomfortable.

She had no idea how that stuff worked; science was too deeply ingrained in her head.

If she hadn't met Kamijou Kaori, the most likely scenario was that she would be rescued by her father's people and killed. She had even read the script.

The case of a girl with special abilities being murdered in a closed room or something like that.

But if these people are magicians, then why are they coming to Academy City? Could it be that the mastermind that Shokuhou-senpai mentioned is actually from the magic side?

As she was thinking, Natsume Sonoko heard the voices of Misaka-senpai and the others.

Natsume acted so quickly that only twenty or thirty seconds after the attack, he rushed forward and killed all the attackers.

This also resulted in everything being over when Misaka-senpai caught up, and she only saw the trio of magical girls lying on the ground from afar.

Standing on the ground and revealing his figure, Natsume-san waved vigorously towards Misaka-senpai.

"Misaka-senpai, I'm here."

I feel more and more like a giant of light. Every time after defeating a small monster, he would suddenly appear and say hello to my teammates.

After walking a few steps in the direction of Misaka-senpai and the others, Natsume glanced at a nearby electric pole with some surprise. A card with a strange symbol on it had been posted on it at some point.

That location? Come to think of it, it seems that there were indeed tourists passing by just now.

At this moment, Natsume's mouth suddenly froze, because she found an extremely hot breath suddenly appeared behind her.

It seemed like a ball of twisted flame.

It appeared out of nowhere, without any warning, as if it had used space teleportation.

But it is different from spatial movement, but I can’t tell the difference at the moment.

There was no time for regret. Various plans flashed through my mind, and then I chose the most convenient one.

A stream of air behind her instantly provided a huge reaction force, pushing Natsume Sonoko more than ten meters into the air, and instantly away from her current location.

At this moment, a bright blue-white beam of light suddenly passed by Natsume. The light was very fast, carrying a huge amount of heat and kinetic energy, and it just passed by Natsume's body.

Knowing that it was Misaka-senpai who launched the railgun, Natsume Sonoko did not activate the restrictions on the shells, but let the railgun pass smoothly.

Although the speed of the railgun is very fast, due to its high heat, Natsume may be able to capture it.

But if it is at the same level of temperature as the human body, coupled with a high speed of twice the speed of sound, it will become a very blurry shadow in Natsume's radar map.

After stabilizing his body in the air for a while, Natsume realized that he had gotten rid of the thing that suddenly appeared behind him, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he didn't break out in a cold sweat, Natsume was still a little frightened. Is this what it feels like to be attacked by a surprise attack?

Turning back to see what happened, Natsume immediately had a look of surprise on his face.

There is a strange heat body in my heat map that I can't see clearly.

But when you look at it visually, it turns into a tall, twisted creature covered in burning flames. Let's just describe it as a creature.

With the precise hit of the electromagnetic cannon, the body of the flame creature was instantly cut in half, and most of the body above the waist disappeared.

Chapter 259 Multiple Constant Temperature Layers

The air was filled with extremely high heat, and waves of high-temperature air currents continued to spread outward along the body of the fire monster.

Enveloped by this high temperature, the surrounding pavilions and trees were in danger of being ignited, and the oncoming hot air flow could even easily burn people's skin.

The surrounding space immediately became chaotic, and the distorted scene caused by the refraction of light made people feel very unreal.

At this time, the smart classmate Natsume also understood.

The monster looked very strange and distorted, like staring at the dancing flame of a candle, except that the visual changes were caused by the change in air density.

After figuring out some unimportant questions, Natsume stared at the big hole in the monster's chest with some seriousness.

Flames were born from an unknown source, refilling the hollow shell left by the electromagnetic cannon.

The flame doll recovered very quickly. In just a blink of an eye, the body above the waist that was taken away by the powerful kinetic energy of the electromagnetic cannon was restored.

It is somewhat similar to some of the things I have encountered before. How much does this world like fighting methods like rebirth and recovery?

After just a quick observation, Natsume knew clearly that the body temperature of the fire creature in front of him had reached a level that was far beyond the reach of the bun-headed guy.

It is at least 3,000 degrees Celsius, and there are slight temperature variations in different parts.

Natsume rarely comes into contact with this level of intensity, and usually just plays around within the scope of his ability.

The fire creature in front of her made Natsume curious, because she also wanted to create this level of high temperature. Who doesn't want to treat fire as their own toy?

But her ability seems to be stuck, and is highly dependent on the current environment or the temperature of the object, or at a microscopic level, the speed of movement between molecules.

Within the scope of his existing abilities, Natsume can change the temperature of the current environment by 100 degrees Celsius, which means he can interfere with the movement of molecules to a certain extent.

However, the growth rate of this interference amount was getting slower and slower, and at one point Natsume even felt that it had almost reached its limit.

Natsume is not quite sure about the reason. Perhaps it is because there is some bottleneck in his personal reality, or maybe he has not found a more effective way to explore.

However, Natsume is not satisfied with the movement between molecules. She begins to explore the world of atoms, wanting to release and control the energy of the atomic world. Personal reality is her vanguard.

It is with the interference of personal reality that the concept of people with abilities comes into being.

Coming back to his senses, Natsume looked at the flaming creature in front of him quietly.

As the ambient temperature around him was affected by high temperatures, the speed of molecular movement changed greatly, so Natsume had to correct the formula again to ensure his accuracy.

The difficulty is not much different from just having a thought.

Although Natsume has distanced himself from the fire creature, he is still facing this huge heat.

The constant temperature layer on Natsume's body started working, trying to stabilize the airflow around his body, and instantly blocked the huge amount of heat airflow.

But the airflow is only part of the threat. The huge amount of heat contained in it invades Natsume's constant temperature layer through air conduction, which makes a certain ball-headed boy feel a little worried.

Its own constant temperature layer is closely related to its ability limit, which means that it can only lower the temperature by about 100 degrees Celsius.

And if he accidentally comes into close contact with a monster with a temperature over 3,000 degrees Celsius, even Natsume's constant temperature layer will be overloaded.

In order to deal with this situation, Natsume naturally has a plan.

She is a girl who always thinks about what to do when a crisis occurs, and she even has a plan to just turn around and leave when she sees Accelerator.

Just by changing the way the formula works, Natsume-san's constant temperature layer covering his body was reorganized.

The temperature inside the constant temperature layer is comfortable and pleasant, so just divide the air inside the constant temperature layer to form a shape like a Russian doll.

The temperature is continuously reduced by layers of constant temperature, creating a new ambient temperature, and eventually reaching an acceptable level.

Because of this complex operation, the constant temperature layer around the body naturally cannot only cover the surface of the body as before, but continuously expands outward along the body to form a transparent sphere with a diameter of about one meter.

This is equivalent to using the heat conduction between the nesting dolls to create a temperature-isolating barrier.

However, if this method is used to continuously increase the temperature, the efficiency is too low, and it takes a very long time just to wait for the heat to be transferred.

As the multiple constant temperature layers on his body came online, Natsume felt relieved immediately.

Now, even if Natsume stands in front of that monster, he doesn't have to worry.

"Miraculous Senior, please retreat quickly."

Seeing that a certain bun-haired girl was safe and sound, Misaka-senpai was also relieved.

When she saw the flaming creature suddenly appear behind Natsume, she immediately took out the coins from her pocket.

The scene before her also surprised her a little, because she saw that the fire creature that she had pierced through the abdomen had returned to normal.

This also made Senior Misaka give up the idea of ​​continuing to use the railgun and choose to use other methods instead.

"Misaka-san, please be careful."

Feeling that she could not help much, Senior Minghu hurriedly ran to a distance and began to contact the security guards, looking worriedly at the two psychics who were caught in a standoff.

Lightning began to flash, and large amounts of iron sand continuously gushed out from all over the ground. The black liquid continued to flow upward along the legs, and then attached to Misaka-senpai's body like armor, blocking the oncoming hot air flow.

There were only a few seconds left before the creature appeared in front of them, and both of them were ready to deal with it.

But just the next second, the fire creature began to move, and its target was Misaka-senpai who was still on the ground.

This action made a certain girl with a bun-haired head more and more convinced that these people's target was Senior Misaka.

I saw Misaka-senpai's arms start to wave, and the iron sand turned into a rope dozens of meters long, which directly tied up the enemy not far away.

It seems that this fire creature actually has a physical body, and is not simply an incarnation of fire.

The iron rope instantly turned red hot and began to melt in just a few seconds.

However, Senior Misaka didn't care and followed with a large amount of iron sand, which quickly submerged the fire creatures in the iron sand.

As the iron sand burned redder and redder, the fire creature was trapped by the almost liquid iron sand and could not move. It struggled continuously, waving its body.

At the same time, a water pipe under the fire creature's butt began to burst, and a large amount of water vapor gushed out.

As soon as the water vapor came into contact with the liquefied iron sand, a huge sound like an explosion was instantly emitted.

The surroundings suddenly turned white, the water vapor instantly turned into steam, and the originally red iron sand also became solid and firm, temporarily trapping the fire creature inside.

Chapter 260: Ineffective Attack

The underground pipeline network of Academy City was accidentally destroyed again, but the fair face of a certain bun-haired guy still looked calm and composed.

Water bubbled out from the gap, forming a fountain-like scene, continuously lowering the temperature around the iron cage.

Although there was a small problem, in order to maintain the law and order of the Academy City, it was very normal to damage some flowers, plants, pipes, circuits, etc.

The super-powered girl never cared about details when fighting.

As the liquid iron sand continued to hover between the two states of melting and solidifying, the iron cage began to vibrate, and a large number of clearly visible limbs and facial outlines formed on the surface.

The fire monster kept trying to break through the cage, but its whole body was firmly blocked by magnetic iron sand. Even if it broke through the current cage, it would be covered with new iron sand and cooled and hardened again.

The size of the iron cage began to increase, and the iron sand wrapped around it became denser and denser. In just a few seconds, it was piled up into a small hill by Senior Misaka.

But even so, the fire creature was still moving slowly. Countless iron sands could not completely trap it, and it was only a matter of time before it burned through the iron sand mountain.

The water droplets sprayed from the underground water pipes penetrated into the gaps between the iron sand, and then a pile of boiling hot steam came out from the other side.

The narrow nozzle amplified the internal pressure, and the ejected gas blew the leaves of the surrounding trees into pieces, and even the remaining leaves began to slowly turn yellow.

The power of the steam alone is enough to make people retreat.

The temperature on its surface was simply too high, and the energy reserves in its body seemed endless; it did not become weakened by the continuous release of high heat.

Fortunately, it was wrapped in iron sand, causing the temperature around it to actually drop.
