Temperature Control in Academy City

The scene in front of her made Natsume Sonoko open her eyes wide. If this monster was used to generate electricity, it would definitely be a very clean energy source, and its efficiency would be obviously much higher than the wind power used in Academy City.

Although his thoughts are scattered throughout his head, in reality, Natsume's attention is always on the flame creature.

I don't know when it started, but Natsume started fighting with all kinds of strange creatures one after another, which also cultivated Natsume's current strong receptive ability.

Before she knew it, Misaka-senpai's movements were getting bigger and bigger.

The iron sand mountain was constantly squeezed and deformed under the influence of a powerful magnetic force. Due to its huge size, it did not have to worry about being melted by the high temperature for a while. Instead, it generated enormous pressure that instantly crushed the flame creatures from all directions into sparks of similar size, and then was completely filled with molten iron.

It was similar to what Natsume had thought of. Last time, she used a water jet to cut the stone man that would continue to recover into pieces.

But the situation this time seemed a little different. The molten iron that had filled all the space began to boil again, and the fiery man recovered.

When she tried again the second time, a stronger electric current came out of Misaka-senpai's body, but the result was still the same as before.

They could only use the huge iron sand mountain to once again confine the fire creatures inside, but at this time, Natsume and his classmate had no better idea.

Even if it is cut into pieces, it can be restored again. This is simply a foul ability.

Instead of falling from the air, Natsume's gaze was focused again on the three magical girls who had been knocked unconscious by him.

Although it is not clear why this fire creature appeared, it is definitely related to them.

"It seems there is a problem again."

A certain guy with a bun on his head was suddenly stunned for a moment, as if he had discovered something.

She couldn't even feel the heat from the three girls.

All living things will release heat unconsciously, just like a person with special abilities releases an aim to spread heat. There is no living person who does not release heat.

Natsume is very confident in his abilities, and after checking himself, he found no problems, so there must have been some unexpected problems.

After hesitating for just a second, Natsume waved his arms and controlled a strong wind blowing from the ground, rushing towards the three people.

The wind and waves came in an instant, but there was no obstruction at all. Instead, like broken slides, the bodies of the three girls were instantly blown into pieces by the wind and waves.

This is certainly not the case where a certain guy with a ball head killed people to cover up his act of destroying an underground water pipe, but just a few shadows were left there.

The people who did this also used changes in the density of the air to cause refraction of light, thus creating these false images, commonly known as mirages.

Regarding this, a colleague who did not want to reveal his identity said that he was very familiar with it, and even concentrated the refracted light into tiny invisible dots to achieve the purpose of invisibility.

But when was it replaced?

Natsume Sonoko thought about it carefully and realized that it was most likely when the fire monster had just appeared and she was only able to use the jet to fly away from the scene.

Just a moment of negligence allowed the other party to take away three people.

"Similar skills appeared."

Looking at the shadow that shattered into air, Natsume Sonoko felt a deep sense of surprise. This was exactly the method she often used.

Could it be that someone was imitating me?

No, it should be that great minds think alike. Natsume-san doesn't think he can develop these moves on his own.

While the fire creature was trapped, Natsume's radar scanned an area of ​​200 meters.

According to Natsume's current thinking, since he can't deal with the fire creatures, then he will deal with the people who use this magic.

She only had a vague understanding of magic, and she did not have Kamijou's right hand that could offset some of the fantasy abilities, so her methods of dealing with the problem were still those simple and crude ways.

Misaka-senpai's physical attack had no effect, which made her feel that she should change the target.

If the opponent's target is one of the three of them, then the opponent might still be nearby. This is very simple logic.

But there were students watching the fun everywhere, as well as tourists taking pictures with their mobile phones. The noise was so loud that many people gathered around.

Living in Academy City, you can’t enjoy the excitement without a big heart.

"Really? Why are there so many people here all of a sudden?"

Natsume Sonoko counted the people around her and wondered if she had attracted everyone around her, because there were obviously not many passers-by when others were fighting.

Most people were standing outside the white fog, which was just formed by the evaporation of water vapor, and the straight-line distance from the fire creature was less than a few dozen meters.

However, because of the fog, Natsume and the other two did not have to worry about appearing on gossip websites and becoming urban legends or headlines.

"Should we start evacuating the crowd?"

Misaka-senpai frowned, obviously influenced by some spatial movement.

But even as he was speaking, the fire creature that had been pounding the cage suddenly became quiet, as if it had become a docile sheep.

After a quick observation, the careful Natsume discovered that the fire creature trapped inside had completely disappeared.

Disappeared?

Natsume was a little dazed and couldn't react for a moment.

"There's someone behind, and it's right next to Naruto-senpai."

But after a while, a certain bun-haired girl showed a slight change on her face, and she warned in the direction of Misaka-senpai.

An invisible wind wall several meters high appeared out of nowhere, as if trying to blow away the person who suddenly appeared, and then collided with several rotating tongues of fire without warning.

When the two touched, rolling air waves instantly formed on both sides, even tearing the thick fog in half.

Looking towards the place where the fog was torn apart, a tall man dressed in black as a priest and with red shoulder-length hair suddenly appeared next to Senior Minghu, and grabbed Senior Minghu's shoulder with one hand without any hesitation.

The man wore thick silver rings on all ten fingers of both hands, and seemed to have ornaments such as earrings on his ears. There was a barcode-like tattoo under his right eye.

Senior Ming Hu wanted to struggle, but she was no match for the tall man's strength. She was so flustered that she fell to the ground.

Chapter 261: Sonoko's Ability to Get Angry

There was a loud bang, and the strong airflow made it impossible for people to open their eyes.

As the huge amount of heat was dissipated, the nearby onlookers were immediately driven away, resulting in no one else being seen within a radius of dozens of meters.

It folded its invisible wings, and the swirling air turned into turbulent airflow.

As his two feet stepped on the thick ground, Natsume's face showed a hint of realization.

This magician who suddenly appeared, can his magic control fire?

It is understandable that he uses the high temperature of flames to form mirages, and the flame creatures should also be his masterpieces.

Natsume Sonoko has had many impressive exchanges with magicians. Different magicians have their own specialties of magic, which seems to be somewhat similar to people with special abilities.

The scene in front of him was like meeting a colleague from the magic world, but unlike a certain bun-haired guy, the other party used serious fire magic instead of just temperature.

Although the practicality of the opponent's magic is not as good as his own magic that can cool down or heat up, the flames exceeding thousands of degrees Celsius are enough to cause a natural suppression on the ability of the ball head.

Not only does it seriously affect Natsume's control of airflow, but it can also easily change the ambient temperature, causing Natsume's ability to fail to achieve the expected effect.

The thick wind wall can block the passage of large trucks, and a large amount of kinetic energy will be consumed by rifle bullets at the moment of passing through, but they are instantly disintegrated by a few fire snakes. This is because the high temperature destroyed Natsume's control over the wind wall.

But it’s not a big deal for Natsume. It can only be said that it has an impact. After all, Natsume is not good at fighting.

Even if he really couldn't win, he could still snatch Senior Minghu and run away. A certain girl with a bun had her own way of running away. The girl who was obviously very strong in the eyes of others seemed to have a different perception of herself.

The only ability that bothers Natsume is probably the girl with a lazy look in the "Tool" organization, whose name seems to be Takitsubo Rikou or something.

The high fever continued, and Natsume's thermal radar kept sending out warnings. Fortunately, the multiple constant temperature layers with a diameter of about one meter around him kept protecting him.

In the sight, a bright red light ignited in the hands of the black-clothed, red-haired magician, and the heat released made Senior Minghu's face red.

As if worried that the overheated temperature would harm Senior Minghu, the red-haired magician took a step forward, but the flames stayed with him from beginning to end.

The burning flames were somewhat frightening, and Natsume frowned subconsciously.

Speaking of fire-related abilities, in Academy City it should be called pyrotechnic abilities, but the temperature of the flame from the pyrotechnic abilities is far lower than the one controlled by the person opposite.

His temperature control and pyrotechnic abilities are classified by Academy City as a user of thermal system abilities.

Theoretically, it is possible to develop the ability to control fire like a fire-generating ability user. For example, Natsume has already mastered the ability of an ice-controlling ability user in the same system. It will be a natural thing for him to do so without any difficulty.

However, although Natsume is very enthusiastic about the ability to get angry, the reality is very bleak.

People with the ability to generate fire can generate fire freely, which is a change brought to them by personal reality, but she cannot, and can only use some indirect methods.

However, the ignition capability developed was not that easy to use, at least not as convenient as controlling airflow and ice, and was at the same level as the power generation attempted before.

On the one hand, it is because Natsume's ability cannot reach the ignition point of flammable substances in the air, including hydrogen, methane, and propane.

On the other hand, even if you work hard to collect enough air to burn for a period of time, you still need to use air friction to create high temperature for ignition, and the efficiency is far less than normal heating and cooling.

However, Natsume actually has another idea for producing flames, which is much more efficient than igniting flammable gases, but the difficulty of developing it increases sharply.

The essence of flame is actually an exothermic reaction.

The air molecules around the reaction area move at high speed due to heating, resulting in the luminescence phenomenon.

As long as the heat released is great enough to make the air glow with a fiery glow, the so-called flame is complete.

Just like the moment a nuclear bomb explodes, the released blackbody radiation heats the air and all nearby matter to plasma temperature, forming a bright white initial fireball.

However, to achieve this, we still have to use the energy inside atoms, which is the so-called atomic energy, so in the final analysis, we still have to continue to develop atoms. (It’s a headache to write this, I’m not good at physics.)

Natsume Sonoko's inextricable bond with atoms has just begun, and she is working hard towards a more microscopic world.

After coming to her senses, a certain bun-haired girl no longer thought about whether the other party's target was Misaka-senpai or Naruto-senpai.

Because no matter which senior it is, Natsume cannot pretend not to see it, because she is a superpower girl who carries the title of Discipline Committee Member (enthusiastic citizen).

Thinking too much about these things can easily make people confused, so it is better to focus on dealing with the weird magician first.

However, the barcode on the other person's face was particularly eye-catching. Natsume seemed to have heard someone mention it somewhere.

Natsume took a step forward, and the fog around him settled down again, condensing into small water droplets on the ground.

Water is the best cooling material. I heard that nuclear power plants also use water for cooling, but it is pure water.

If there was a river nearby, Natsume wouldn't have to worry about the fire magician in front of him at all.

A certain scientific guy was using her common sense to think about magic again, but as of now, there wasn't any big problem.

In fact, it’s similar in cities, but the impact seems to be a little worse.

She was determined to rescue Senior Minghu safely, even if it meant putting the Seventh School District into a water outage crisis again.

By the way, I'd like to take revenge on her for disturbing her dinner and causing her to be hungry now.

Natsume's face suddenly became serious, and he looked at Misaka-senpai beside him, and the two of them nodded at the same time.

By gathering these water flows together, a flowing water dragon appeared beside Natsume. The bigger the water dragon grew, the more it was held in the air by pairs of invisible air hands.

It looks fierce and particularly ferocious.

Misaka-senpai also took back the mountain of iron sand that she had used to trap the fire creatures, and the iron sand on her body became thicker and heavier.

Under the control of magnetic force, the air is unknowingly filled with various fine iron sands.

However, the opponent seemed to be well prepared. The iron sand was melted into liquid by the high temperature flames when it approached.

"Unfortunately, my disciples took it upon themselves to attack you in order to impress me, forcing me to start the operation early."

The red-haired magician raised his head and lit a cigarette with the flame in his hand. Then he blew out a white circle with satisfaction. The smell of nicotine and tar seemed to emanate from his whole body.

"What is your purpose?"

The other party finally spoke, and Natsume, who was wrapped in water dragons all over his body, asked seriously.

"Fortis931."

Suddenly speaking something ambiguous made a certain person with a ball head startled, wondering what it meant, but he soon realized

This seems to be the name of some magic. She has heard Miss Kamijou Kaori and Index mention it.

However, there is another saying that mentioning the name of a magic spell seems to mean using magic, and the other party doesn't seem to have any intention of explaining it to you.

"Although Jane and her friends encountered a major setback in their first mission, it may be a good thing for their growth in life. It can help them correct their bad habits of underestimating the enemy."

Muttering something, the fireball in the red-haired magician's hand began to expand dramatically, covering an area of ​​three meters above his head.

The high temperature of the fireball caused the surrounding air to twist and roll, and Natsume's air control around the red-haired magician completely failed.

"Misaka-senpai, be careful."

Natsume hurriedly reminded Misaka-senpai beside her that people who start fighting in the middle of a conversation are really annoying.

I originally wanted to create an illusory image, but the tiny ice prisms are difficult to preserve for a long time under such high temperatures, and the refraction of light becomes difficult to control.
