Temperature Control in Academy City

If there was anyone at Tokiwadai Junior High School who really cared about the psychological control of the one who kept strangers away, this third-year girl with purple princess curls should be one of them.

"She said she would be back on time for the competition in the afternoon, but now she is nowhere to be found. Not only is the phone and internet unavailable, but there is no sign of her in the school or the student dormitory. Even with surveillance cameras, there is no sign of the queen."

The uneasiness gradually disappeared, and her expression finally became calm. Senior Fanfeng began to tell Natsume the whole story.

As expected of the second-in-command of the Queen's faction, he made what he thought was the best choice in just a few seconds.

If the Queen really encountered any problems, then seeking help from several super-powered people in the same school would undoubtedly be the best choice.

It's not clear whether Misaka-san is willing to help, but this eighth person who has a good relationship with her queen will definitely be easy to deal with.

This morning, she heard the two of them talking and laughing about a certain railgun that liked childish cartoon underwear.

Of course, this must be a false memory implanted by a blonde girl.

"Natsume-san, are you okay?"

It seemed that she noticed that a certain girl with a bun-haired look had fallen into a state of stagnation, and Senior Sister Fanfeng called out to her softly with some concern.

It seems that this junior schoolmate really knows something.

"Sorry, I was a little distracted."

"I know about Shokuhou-senpai's situation. I will help you find her."

Natsume couldn't help but take a deep breath and felt his heart tremble suddenly.

Maybe something really went wrong with Shokuhou-senpai.

If things have the possibility of going bad, no matter how small the possibility is, it will always happen. A certain law suddenly popped up in Natsume's mind.

"Is there anything we can do to help, as long as we can?"

With a hint of hesitation on her face, Senior Fanfeng lowered her head slightly to look at someone and asked in a low voice.

“Not for now. I think I already know where Shokuhou-senpai went.”

Natsume-san forced a smile and shook his head.

From the beginning, there was only one place that Shokuhou-senpai went to, and that was the Juvenile Reformatory in the Tenth District.

If there is a problem, it must be in that position.

A good girl like Natsume Sonoko naturally had never been to that kind of place. Fortunately, there have been all kinds of rumors about it on the Internet, so she is not completely unfamiliar with the place.

Driven armor used to suppress criminals, various armed mercenaries, sniffer mechanical dogs, sonic weapons, etc. are just basic configurations.

And the fact that Shokuhou-senpai is unable to establish any connection with her means that she must be facing a big problem.

Otherwise, even if Shokuhou-senpai's phone was damaged, she could just control a passerby to make a call.

In this situation where we don't know the specific situation, we naturally can't just invite Senior Sister Fanfeng and the others in casually.

This is also the reason why Shokuhou-senpai wants to avoid Hokaze Junko and the others.

However, Natsume Sonoko did not say anything definite. After all, asking people for help is one of her regular tactics, although Natsume always considers many things.

"Really? That's great."

The members of the Queen's faction immediately breathed a sigh of relief. The Eighth was so reliable, completely different from the rumors.

"Speaking of which, Natsume-san has to participate in the competition this afternoon, so let us do it for him."

Hofeng Runzi adjusted her sportswear and said seriously.

The eighth person in front of them had no intention of letting them get involved, and the queen also deliberately concealed some things, which Fanfeng Junzi soon realized.

"Hey, is this okay?"

Tilting his head, Natsume suddenly felt a little surprised. It turns out that someone can be found to take his place in the Daihasei Festival.

"This is the normal rule of the competition. Once a player is injured or unable to attend, if the school does not forfeit, other free students can temporarily replace him." said Junko Fanfeng.

"I understand, but I'll be back before the game."

Natsume-san insisted.

Chapter 328: Half South

Being able to travel quickly between two places, paying attention to saving time and maximizing efficiency, can be said to be Natsume's specialty.

Although his flying speed is far lower than that of various technologically advanced flying equipment, he can be called a little whirlwind in Academy City in his personal field.

Little Tornado watched the members of the Queen's Faction leave, lowering his head, wondering what he was thinking about.

Things seemed to be getting troublesome, and it was the kind of trouble that came out of nowhere.

However, at this moment, a six-wing aircraft flew across the sky. It seemed that another turmoil worthy of Academy City's attention had occurred somewhere.

This special equipment of Academy City is not only equipped with a large number of advanced weapons, but also has a maximum speed of 2.5 Mach. Such a speed cannot be achieved by propellers alone. The main reason is the two powerful jet engines behind it.

Due to this insane anti-human design, the six feathers are basically unmanned, otherwise the inertia and noise of instantaneous acceleration alone would be enough to kill the driver.

This is not a conventional helicopter at all. It is more like an air combat weapon with rapid maneuverability.

"As expected, I should have acted together with Shokuhou-senpai."

Biting her lip, Natsume felt that she was indeed a little lax because her attention was perfectly distracted, otherwise she would definitely follow Shokuhou-senpai.

You stay where you are and wait for information from others with peace of mind, trying to handle everything perfectly without giving up anything you want. This is the little arrogance of the master of time management.

But reality is reality. Natsume's good luck doesn't seem to extend to others, or it's not enough for herself.

Then, as a real revenge, a series of unexpected events will occur, completely making Natsume's various calculations ineffective.

"What should I do? Go to juvenile detention center now?"

Looking at Miss Tomoyo not far away, Natsume suddenly felt a little hesitant, but hesitation is like soap bubbles, which soon disappeared without a trace.

No matter what, the most important thing is to confirm the safety of the senior.

Shokuhou-senpai looks strong, but she also has obvious weaknesses.

Natsume is very clear about this, but she chooses to ignore it because she feels that the psychological control is really powerful, so powerful that she cannot resist it.

After all, no matter how developed his brain is, it can capture the movement of matter in the outside world in microseconds. Even when Senior Misaka raises her hand, she can simulate the trajectory of the shell in advance at the moment of releasing heat. A brain comparable to that of a supercomputer is enough to make ordinary people feel despair.

But a certain bun-head has no control over the inside of his brain.

However, since the brains of people with super powers are very developed, the difficulty of invasion will naturally increase sharply. The amount of data that needs to be processed in a short period of time is enough to overwhelm some ordinary people with great mental control abilities.

Natsume, whose mental defense basically relies on brute force, blindly worships the blonde senior who has maxed out her mental phenomena points.

"And the juvenile detention center is in the 10th District, just south of our school district."

Natsume Sonoko raised her head slightly, looking at the six feathers passing by in the sky, leaving two long air waves behind her buttocks.

The direction of the six-feathered aircraft also seemed to be south.

Chapter 329 Juvenile Reformatory

It is unclear what the inevitable connection is between this six-winged aircraft and the juvenile reformatory, but Natsume knows that today's Academy City is still filled with the smell of nuclear war.

Fortunately, an incident like last time that affected the entire Academy City did not happen, otherwise the Daihastari Festival that most people were looking forward to would have been ruined.

The lively scenes around him seemed like a rapidly changing kaleidoscope. Natsume felt a little out of place. Perhaps his feeling was right from the beginning. The Daihasei Festival was really not suitable for him.

"Xiao Yuanzi, are those students also your friends?"

"By the way, it's rare to find someone who's suitable for princess curls."

Miss Tomoyo's voice came from behind me. Her soft tone was always so obvious. She held her chin with one hand, thinking about something.

"They are senior students. They want to ask me for something. Probably to help find someone or something."

She turned around suddenly, her expression became dull, and Natsume managed to suppress the unnecessary expression.

I need to explain everything to mom first, then go find Shokuhou-senpai and try to get everything done within an hour.

Even though the problem Shokuhou-senpai was facing was difficult, Natsume-san could easily do it if he just had to take that senior away from the dangerous area.

"Is that so? I found a spot over there. Do you want to come over?"

Ms. Tomoyo said in a low voice, and suddenly reached out and rubbed Natsume-san's head.

"Mom, I suddenly have something very urgent to do."

"Actually, I joined Academy City's Judgment Committee because everyone wanted to ask me for help. After all, the Judgment Committee's job is to help everyone."

Natsume was a little hesitant and couldn't find a good way to put it. Her vocabulary seemed to be in the opposite direction to her calculation ability.

She didn't really want to talk about the real problems she encountered. Any normal parent would never allow their child to be involved in such things.

I have basically never told my parents about any of the dangerous things I have encountered. Many incidents only remain in the memories of the participants, and at most are accompanied by a few urban legends.

"Yes, Xiao Yuanzi is already a discipline committee member." A lady paused, looking thoughtful.

"The symbol is a green shield armband. I saw it in the promotional video on the Academy City website. But if I have to be on duty today, this job is really hard."

With her brows slightly furrowed, the lady spoke with some emotion, as if she had a special understanding of the discipline committee member.

"But if there is something you want to do, then go ahead and do it. For me, if I don't have something important to do, I won't be able to sleep at night."

"Bad sleep is the beginning of a bad life. I don't want my garden to be unhappy."

A certain lady said with her head lowered, the smile still on her face, but she tried hard to open her eyes wide and look serious.

And next to these big eyes, there seem to be some traces of dark circles, but they are covered up by makeup.

"Is this okay?"

Seemingly a little hesitant, Natsume-san also tried to open his eyes wide.

"Of course, I didn't come to Academy City to cause trouble. I came to bring strength to you, Sonoko."

Ms. Tomoyo raised her arms gently, without any muscles like Natsume-san.

But it seems that girls don’t need muscles or anything.

"strength?"

“It actually means encouragement.”

"Oh."

...

While still thinking about his mother's words, Natsume-san was already standing high in the sky.

Her body is slightly leaning forward, maintaining a posture similar to sleeping in the air. Natsume can actually fly while standing, but she prefers lying down.

His whole body was buried in the light, and he was like the most common violent waves, wandering in this extremely divided city.

The six-feathered plane had left long ago, and the air here had returned to calm, but the small whirlwind of Academy City that followed immediately broke this peaceful environment.

The radar system is activated, the target locking program is started, and all attack weapons are loaded.

As soon as he set out on the road to the juvenile reformatory, a guy with a bun haircut armed himself fully.

Natsume entered his combat state by default. The power of his brain increased a lot compared to usual, but the consumption of computing power was still at an extremely low level.

Only when there is a fierce conflict will the consumption of computing power be less than the replenishment, or even become a complete consumption.

Fortunately, after Natsume got rid of that kind of high-intensity usage, his computing power would not be out of control and would plummet. Even in the last second before his computing power was exhausted, he could still maintain a relatively stable output.

This is almost the key problem that all super-powered people have to solve. Stability is an important indicator of becoming a super-powered person, even more important than the amount of calculation.

The Tenth School District is located south of the Seventh School District, and the Juvenile Detention Center is located in the central area of ​​the Tenth School District.

Natsume-san from the 10th District has been here many times, and the first time he came here was when he followed the dorm supervisor to the Garden of Hope.

The warden is a truly good person, and he is serious and strict in his work.

Although I failed miserably in Shirai's love plan, I still come here every week to volunteer.

Natsume-san was much worse. Sometimes he would ask the dorm supervisor to bring some things over, but if you think about it carefully, he didn't come very often.

By the way, these abandoned children living in the "Garden of Hope", like their younger sisters, cannot participate in the Daibaxing Festival. In order to prevent these young students from getting lost, they are not even allowed to leave these care facilities.

Natsume crossed mountains and seas, and also flew over crowds of people.
