Temperature Control in Academy City

After thinking of some fallback plans, Tsuchimikado Motoharu calmed down a little.

In order to allow him to concentrate on studying these patterns, the impact of the 'Achilles' heel' was shared by the other three people.

Although Senior Misaka couldn't get a word in, she still nodded vigorously and agreed to the magicians' plan.

But at this moment, a white and crystal clear little hand passed between the four people and gently grasped the glowing wooden bow.

There was a small magical girl pendant on the wrist of this hand, which was obviously the gift that Index had given to a girl with a bun.

"When did Natsume-san come here?"

Senior Misaka was immediately surprised, she did not expect that Natsume would suddenly walk into the range of magic.

Just when I was about to stop him, I saw Natsume's arm already touching the wooden bow.

"Be careful."

Kamiya Kaori said anxiously.

However, as soon as everyone finished talking, the wooden bow was taken in the hands of a guy with a bun on his head without any hindrance.

It's as if it was supposed to be this way.

The imagined counterattack did not occur, and even the light beams around it began to stabilize. The light from the outside returned to the wooden bow as if time was flowing backwards.

Without the wooden bow's energy source, the magic attached to the space elevator immediately changed.

At this time, the halo that had already left Neon and invaded a more distant place suddenly stopped.

Looking from the sky above the universe, a huge circular spot of light seems to appear in a certain part of the northern hemisphere.

The broadcasting room that was originally filled with light suddenly returned to normal, and the cold light from the outside world invaded here again at this time.

Fortunately, Natsume, who was holding the wooden bow, was immune to the intrusion of these cold lights, but he looked a little dazed.

"I succeeded."

Natsume was a little confused. He just wanted to give it a try, but he didn't expect to actually succeed.

Sure enough, this wooden bow was really made by myself in my previous life.

The style of the painting suddenly seemed to change to, as if I was the mastermind behind all this.

Chapter 294: The Formed Arrow

It is important for the mastermind to cultivate himself.

So, even if this kind of situation happens, you still need to maintain at least some composure, and it’s best to have a smile on your face.

Well, this seems a lot more normal.

A girl with an inexplicable glow shrouded her body turned around to look at the stunned crowd and rubbed her head embarrassedly.

"Don't look at me, I don't really know what happened."

A girl with a bun on her head blinked her innocent eyes and exerted a little force on the wooden bow.

She hasn't figured out how to explain it to everyone yet. In fact, she doesn't know how to explain it at all.

She wasn't ready to tell anyone about her past life, especially with some weird guys present.

"Natsume-san, that's great."

Senior Misaka breathed a sigh of relief, and when she saw that her classmate with the ball-head hairstyle was safe and sound, a smile appeared on her face.

She didn't care why Natsume was able to pick up the wooden bow. Even a high school student's right hand was not surprising. The current situation was finally moving in a better direction.

"Tsuchimikado, you must have made a mistake."

The cigarette butt in Stiyl's hand fell to the ground, and he frowned as he looked at Tsuchimikado Motoharu who looked stunned.

Just now, Tsuchimikado Motoharu was explaining that the patterns on the wooden bow were extremely difficult to remove, but the next second it was taken off by someone. It was just like the plot in some novels.

"It's impossible to be mistaken."

"The current situation may be that the 'Achilles' heel' accidentally destroyed some important lines, or she may be carrying something that can suppress the spiritual equipment."

There was a sudden silence, and Tsuchimikado Motoharu looked at a certain bun-head a few more times.

She was wearing an ordinary Tokiwadai school uniform, the magical girl pendant on her wrist was also ordinary, and there seemed to be a magical amulet hanging around her neck, but it definitely couldn't do that.

Moreover, if he had not properly understood the information of this Tokiwadai girl, Tsuchimikado Motoharu might have thought that she was some kind of special saint.

Most saints have similar abilities, such as extraordinary physical fitness, extremely fast movement speed, senses far beyond ordinary people, etc.

But there is also the blood of saints that can be used for treatment, and Elisa is also suspected to be one of the saints because of the power in her singing.

It is possible, then, that saints could exist who could suppress rituals by touch.

However, a very important point is that saints can use magic and stigmata from birth. The magic power in their bodies far exceeds that of ordinary magicians. Allowing such beings to develop superpowers is simply a waste of resources.

Basically, once it is developed, it will be infinitely weakened, not to mention that it can be developed into a person with super powers, which is almost impossible.

After Steele ruled out the option of saint, he ruled out several other options one after another.

Not everyone knew Natsume-san's past, and not everyone could guess that a person with super powers would be related to the magic-side spiritual outfit.

Both are obviously insulators, and even if you get them, you can't use them without magic power.

The spoils that Natsume Sonoko confiscated from several magical girls could only be used as normal fans and brooms.

"Natsume-san, can you show me your spirit suit?"

Kamiya Kaori's face was also full of surprise, and it took her a while to accept this fact.

According to her understanding, this was a performance that completely suppressed the spiritual outfit. She immediately thought of the aspect of the saint, and then came to a similar conclusion as Tsuchimikado and the others.

"So this thing is called a spirit suit."

Natsume nodded and handed over the wooden bow in his hand.

And as the bow was released, the dissipated light energy reappeared, and these energies were once again attracted by the magic circle in the space elevator, scaring the guy with a bun-like head so much that he hurriedly grabbed the wooden bow.

"It seems that this wooden bow can be suppressed entirely because of her," said Steele.

At this time, Natsume, who was holding the wooden bow, looked at the magicians around him nervously, fearing that he would be discovered to be the mastermind behind the incident.

As for the fact that the wooden bow would glow when it left him, Natsume was not too worried. After leaving the space elevator, he could just go directly to Kamijou for help.

Natsume has no psychological barriers to asking others for help. It is normal for everyone to help each other.

She is not the type of person like Misaka-senpai who keeps things to herself, although sometimes she does hide things from everyone.

This wooden bow seemed to be made in my previous life. It would be better if it disappeared cleanly.

"Although the problem of the wooden bow has been solved for the time being, the magic on the space elevator must be solved immediately."

Tsuchimikado Motoharu did not dwell on Natsume Sonoko's abnormality, but set about solving the remaining problems.

As mentioned before, he is very inclined to dismantle the space elevator.

However, during the period before demolition, he also wanted to study this huge magic carefully.

Although the light wheel outside has stopped, the coverage area has reached an astonishing level. Even if this matter can be solved smoothly, various subsequent troubles are inevitable.

Fortunately, magicians don’t have to worry about these things.

As the cold light covered the surroundings again, a bunch of inexplicable guys appeared around me without knowing when.

A strong-willed young man who had failed to get the phone number before, a villain with white hair and full of hostility but still rushed over, and it seemed that there was also a strange animal.

Natsume-san tilted her head. She seemed to have caught something strange in her head, like a dog, and it seemed to be wearing some kind of equipment.

It’s so strange, is there anyone who brings a dog to the space station?

Although dogs are humans’ friends, they are really confusing.

"Natsume-san, are they your friends?"

Kamiya Kaori said with some concern, her eyes slightly focused.

Although she was not specifically targeted, she could sense the strong anger and madness from a certain guy.

"Not very familiar."

Natsume shook his head. He could barely be considered to know the tough boy with a cloth tied on his head.

Although Natsume knew the guy with white hair, he thought it would be better if he didn't know him.

However, the opposite happened. They both looked around and their eyes were focused on a girl with a bun.

Accelerator also looked at Misaka-senpai. He naturally knew this third person in Academy City. They were so close that they even demolished a building together.

"You are the...who from last time."

Sogiita Gunba scratched his head, as if he had seen it somewhere before, but he couldn't remember where.

It seems that just like forgetting the phone number before, he can’t remember the girl with the bun.

Normally, Natsume would have shown a dissatisfied expression, but at this moment, he was too late to pay attention to other people's reactions.

With the voices of the crowd lingering in his ears, Natsume was surprised to find that the arm holding the wooden bow became slightly heavy.

This wooden bow has reached the critical point of breaking and can no longer withstand the huge force inside.

Not long after Natsume-san took it in his hand, the magical energy inside began to become chaotic.

Some light began to flow out from between Natsume's fingers, and obvious cracks began to appear around the wooden bow.

After all, it was a disposable spiritual weapon, and it had not considered the possibility of being maliciously destroyed. Even if it was appeased by the master who created it, it still reached its limit.

"This is terrible. We must not let the spiritual equipment be destroyed here."

Tsuchimikado Motoharu was the first to react.

However, before he finished speaking, the pressure began to materialize and spread in all directions.

Natsume felt his body become light, as if a familiar force was gathering in his hands.

Although the wooden bow that served as the carrier was on the verge of destruction, the power inside it fell into Natsume Sonoko's hands intact.

It seems that just by gently pulling the invisible bowstring, the overwhelming force can be released.

"That power is back?!"

"You promised, you promised."

Letili stood up excitedly, ignoring the eager eyes around her, and staggered forward, finally falling powerlessly in front of Natsume.

At the same time, the light wheel that originally extended to all parts of the earth also changed.

The bright beam of light appeared again, but this time it did not absorb energy from the wooden bow, but continued to gather in Natsume's hands.

The energy taken away from the wooden bow can be taken back by its owner before the arrow is launched.

As the light in his hands grew brighter, the cold light from the outside world became thinner.

From the Pacific Ocean back to Neon, from Neon back to Academy City, and then from Academy City back to the space elevator, more light has gathered in Natsume's hands.

This arrow has been formed and it is time to launch it.

This huge energy was firmly controlled in the hands of Natsume Sonoko, completely free from the attraction of the space elevator.

Chapter 295: Gentle Weapon

There is a popular theory that light has no rest mass because objects with mass cannot reach the speed of light.

In fact, there is no way to make light stop.

But this time, Natsume seemed to have felt the weight of the still light, at least on the surface.

As a large amount of light gathered on Natsume's palm, or to be more precise, the wooden bow in his hand, the heavy feeling became stronger and stronger.

This is an impossible situation for science, but it is true for magic. The gap between magic and science seems particularly vast.

As if taking Natsume's arm strength into consideration, the heavy feeling in his hands slowly reached its limit, and then entered a state of readiness.

This state has nothing to do with the user's will, but is a normal reaction when the carrier reaches its limit.

No matter what kind of impact this energy will cause, at this moment it is like a docile sheep, intimately surrounding the hands of a girl with a bun.

Such a familiar feeling.

Natsume-san's feeling grew stronger.
