Temperature Control in Academy City

Even her hair was combed up into a pair of ponytails, and she wore a white sun hat on her head.

"Good morning."

With a faint smile and tilted head, the lady seemed to be in a good mood

"Sonoko, don't you need to wear sportswear today? You don't even need to change your shoes."

The two of them were sitting opposite each other in the hotel restaurant. Miss Tomoyo held her chin and looked at Natsume quietly, and asked with some curiosity.

Natsume-san was still wearing the Tokiwadai school uniform and a pair of small leather shoes, even though today was the day of the sports meet.

The Daihasei Festival is one of the few times when Tokiwadai students don't have to wear school uniforms when going out.

"My sportswear. I left it at school. I have to go get it later."

Natsume raised his head, blinked his eyes and said obediently.

When Natsume is in good boy mode, he is always so harmless.

In fact, her sportswear was always stuffed in her locker at school and she never took it back to the dormitory.

When I returned to the student dormitory with my new teddy bear and comic book, I ran into Misaka-senpai and Shirai-san who had just woken up.

Shirai-san was sitting in a wheelchair, discussing the evening parade with Misaka-san, and was somewhat surprised to see a girl with a bun coming back from outside.

"Sister, what happened to that guy today? He got up earlier than us."

With a thoughtful look on his face, Shirai-san couldn't help but mutter in confusion.

"Natsume-san's mother is here."

"Huh? No wonder."

Shirai originally planned to interrogate the guy in front of him, but suddenly he no longer had the mind to do so.

I ran to Tokiwadai Junior High School and changed into sportswear. As long as it was during normal time periods, students from Tokiwadai could enter the school, and many people came to the school library to read books on weekends.

By the time all preparations were ready, Natsume was already dressed neatly and standing in the first row of the Tokiwadai formation at the main venue of the opening ceremony.

The opening ceremony of the Daiba Star Festival is held in the seventh school district. This main venue can accommodate more than 30,000 people. Looking around, it is crowded with people, which is quite spectacular.

Standing in the crowd, Natsume's thermal sensor scanned the people around her unscrupulously, and dense heat information was spread all over her head.

In this situation, Natsume can only barely grasp the movement trajectories of the people around him, letting fixed formulas replace his brain's ability to distinguish and select the threat levels of various targets around him.

Natsume always lacks a sense of security, and whenever he is around a lot of people, he can't help but take various preventive measures.

But Natsume was obviously overthinking it. At least no one would do something bad in the highly anticipated opening ceremony.

I listened to the boring speeches of the principals. Most of these principals are also the chairmen of the boards of directors of the schools. Their speeches made me sleepy and lasted for a long time.

At first, Natsume was still able to cheer up, but later he became completely listless.

He tried hard to stand in the team, but he looked so exhausted that Natsume's eyes were about to close.

Under normal circumstances, she should be outside with Saten and the others, wandering around the various stalls, eating delicious takoyaki or oden, and waiting comfortably for her first game to begin, instead of standing here as a background board.

"Natsume-san, cheer up, it will be our turn soon."

Arisugawa, the flag bearer of the Tokiwadai formation, turned her head stealthily and poked the arm of a distracted guy with her finger.

Even though Natsume-san is a person with super powers, he still needs to treat him well at times like this and not be so lazy.

However, a spherical piece of photographic equipment suddenly floated over their heads, making a whistling sound.

It just hovered in the air for a few seconds, but it shocked many people in the Tokiwadai formation. Arisugawa was also startled and immediately turned around and tried to stand up straight.

Oh no, I hope this wasn’t captured on camera.

As if she remembered her own little action, her expression suddenly became nervous and her face turned red.

Among the first-year students at Tokiwadai, this student is famous for being serious and meticulous.

This is also the reason why I was chosen by the teacher at first sight and became the flag bearer.

"Are you worried about those cameras?"

A girl with a bun on her head opened her eyes wide and showed a beautiful smile.

"Actually, I've already adjusted the lighting around you, so the camera probably won't be able to capture it clearly, so it's okay. Arisugawa-san, just stay relaxed."

Noticing the other person's change, Natsume thought for a few seconds before speaking with some comfort.

"really?"

After a moment of silence, Arisugawa did not turn around, but whispered to Natsume behind him:

"Yeah." Natsume also answered in a low voice.

"Thank you so much."

It seemed as if something had been wrong from the very beginning. The student couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then showed a grateful look.

As expected of a person with super powers, he is so reliable.

Chapter 323: Shokuhou-senpai Loses Her Dream

There are many reliable people with super powers, and Natsume is honored to become one of them and an outstanding representative among the students of Tokiwadai.

"It's not that good actually. I just paid more attention."

A certain guy with a bun on his head had a shy smile on his face and seemed a little happy.

In fact, it can’t be considered an emotion like vanity, it’s just that I simply have no resistance to compliments.

Natsume-san is very popular among the first-year students in Tokiwadai because everyone knows this side of Natsume-san's personality. He is calm, easy to communicate with, and very polite.

It is really hard to imagine that for such a girl, there are rumors circulating on the Internet that she has a twisted and extremely cruel personality.

Of course, if you see another side of Natsume, your impression might be very different, but it is definitely not as outrageous as what people say on the Internet.

"Ah."

The figure in front nodded slightly and responded quietly, still carrying out the flag bearer's task seriously.

Although the truth of the matter is a little different from what Arisugawa-san thought, it is enough to achieve a similar effect.

Just as he had told his mother before, Natsume carried out his plan without any surprise.

By changing the refraction angle of the light around you, it affects the shooting and use of the camera, which has a similar effect to putting water mist on the camera lens.

However, the degree of light change is not outrageous. The camera at a distance is more affected, but for the Tokiwadai students who are in close contact with it, the impact is relatively limited. At most, they will feel that Natsume's face seems a little unreal.

Fortunately, everyone was busy with the square formation and had no time to look at others carefully, so no one noticed this.

In order to prevent unnecessary problems, Natsume used his ability on himself from the beginning of the opening ceremony.

Natsume is a unique girl who has taken all kinds of safety measures as a normal part of her life, so anything she does is not surprising.

Focusing on the development of defense and escape skills, the attitude towards attack skills seems much more casual, so the combat effectiveness is always erratic.

But when it comes to the weak, Natsume-san can always have the final say.

Whether he is a magician or a person with psychic powers, Natsume-san is quite threatening.

If it was his senior who was an idiot in sports, Natsume would be able to do it within three seconds. Of course, the premise was that she couldn't find out. This was restraint in a sense.

The same goes for people with spatial mobility abilities like Shirai-san. When they suddenly appear, Shokuhou-senpai has a hard time dealing with them.

Come to think of it, Natsume doesn't know the limit of Shokuhou-senpai's ability, but it should be much farther than his own radius of more than 100 meters.

However, Shokuhou-senpai needs to use a remote control to control it, which adds another restriction.

Academy City does not have the strongest special ability user. As long as there is enough intelligence and information, even Accelerator can be defeated.

The way Natsume defeated Accelerator last time was based on the most basic information that Accelerator was a human. Therefore, Natsume is very concerned about protecting his own information.

After calming down for a while, the opening ceremony of the Daiba Star Festival was almost over.

One by one, the columns began to march, and Natsume even saw Senior Minghu in the column of Private Hope's Peak.

I originally planned to say hello, but the current situation is a bit special, and Natsume doesn't want to attract too much attention.

"Next up is the group of students from Tokiwadai Private Junior High School..."

The sound of the broadcast lingered in my ears. As the Kirigaoka group left, the host began to introduce the group from Tokiwadai Junior High School.

Not long after the Tokiwadai formation set off, the attention of the audience at the main venue and all kinds of photographic equipment were involuntarily focused on them.

As a prestigious school in Academy City, the only one with three students with super powers, and one of the five favorites for the Daihastari Festival, Tokiwadai Junior High School is incredibly popular.

This lively atmosphere made the flag bearer Arisugawa blush. After a lot of effort, he calmed down and led the Tokiwadai group into the designated parade area.

"here we go."

Natsume-san also perked up a little and caught up with Arisugawa-san in front of him.

...

He has a strength beyond that of ordinary people. Even if a bone is broken, he can use his strength to grow it back. He possesses an unimaginable powerful ability.

This rough guy named Sogiita Gunba seemed to have a memory problem. After trying to recall the oath without success, he successfully messed up the opening ceremony of the Daihaxing Festival.

He gave an impromptu speech about backbone, then raised his arms aggressively. The colorful smoke that gushed out from behind him covered the entire swearing-in platform, sweeping in his temporary teammate Shokuhou Misaki who was not far away.

It is clearly the final stage of the Daihasei Festival, but the biggest problem has occurred with the Oath-taker, which is truly an unexpected development.

"It...happened."

Suddenly, there was a sense of déjà vu. Natsume, who had already finished the square parade, was instantly shocked by this scene. At the same time, he looked at Shokuhou-senpai, who had lost her dream, with some sympathy.

At the same time, there seemed to be some memories in her soul that were constantly connected, and happened to be connected with the scene before her eyes.

Natsume was slightly dazed, and his thoughts couldn't help but wander.

If the person who swore to team up with Sogiita Gunha-san wasn't Shokuhou-senpai, if she had a bit more bad temper, they would have probably been fighting by now. That would probably be the real disaster for the Daihastarai.

Natsume was fine. After being shocked, he actually felt that it was normal. After all, the guy’s memory was really not that good.

"Shouhouhou-senpai, are you okay?"

“It’s great that there are no injuries.”

In a lounge area somewhere in the main venue, Natsume-san asked with some concern, a hint of worry on his face.

The members of Shokuhou-senpai’s faction had also arrived, but they were all waiting quietly not far away, watching the conversation between the two level 5s.

It was the opening ceremony of the Daihasei Festival, but it seemed like a terrorist attack, and the entire venue became filled with smoke.

Various colorful air molecules are scattered around, making the surrounding environment a little strange.

No matter how hard you try, you would never have imagined that the seemingly ordinary guy Sogiban Gunba actually has such a terrifying smoke skill that dyes the air with multiple colors.

"I am fine."

He looked somewhat weak, with his hands drooping by his knees.

A certain blonde girl gave a forced smile and said while looking into Natsume's eyes.

I had originally made up my mind to attract everyone's attention, but in the end the limelight was stolen by that young man. Fortunately, the intended goal was probably achieved.

"I've actually always been curious, why did Shokuhou-senpai agree to become the sworn brother?"

Seeing that Shokuhou-senpai was in good condition, Natsume Sonoko hesitated for a while before speaking. She had wanted to ask this question for a long time.

As she spoke, Natsume silently calculated her time. She still had about twenty minutes to arrive at the venue before the first game started, and after the game it would be lunch time.

The first race is a one-kilometer run, which is not difficult for Natsume as long as he can use his abilities.

But the most annoying rule is that both feet must be in contact with the ground, otherwise the score will not be counted.

"Of course it's to attract everyone's attention. I'm preparing for the oath of the Daihaxing Festival, so those attacks on the Anbu bases naturally have nothing to do with me."

Shokuhou-senpai leaned against the wall, took out the remote control and controlled the faction members around her, saying this as if it was a matter of course.

"But Natsume-san probably didn't tell Misaka-san about our plan. If she acts on her own, it will cause me a lot of trouble."

After answering Natsume-san's question, the blonde girl rested the remote control on her chin and spoke thoughtfully.

"Of course not."

Natsume-san muttered quietly, even though there was a time when she really wanted to tell Misaka-san.

She looked at the faction members around her who were being controlled with some concern, knowing that this was because Shokuhou-senpai didn't want them to know about these things.
