Temperature Control in Academy City

I did hear Banri and Harukami mention that Kiyama Haruo had changed his original monotonous white coat into a more business-oriented women's suit.

Although Mr. Kiyama is not qualified to be a teacher and cannot obtain the relevant certificates, he has transformed himself into a special figure in the education industry through donations and is a new director of Zhachuan Junior High School.

Education is a lucrative business in this city.

However, the school does not earn tuition fees from students. A large amount of funds comes from the major financial groups and official forces behind it, and donations from ordinary individuals and companies are even more common.

Even his own toy company, before it was kicked out of Academy City, held shares in an ordinary and unknown high school.

It is easy to guess the purpose of part of these funds. It is nothing more than taking advantage of the school's ability to directly collect various information of people with special abilities, and to directly contact them, making it easier to reverse-infer their abilities into various scientific and technological achievements.

"Although Mr. Kiyama is no longer a teacher, I've gotten used to calling him that."

As if he had thought of something random, Natsume jumped down from the roof of a building with his chin in his hand as if no one was around, and he was struggling for a while about the issue of address.

She is not Haruo Kiyama's student, and Haruo Kiyama is not a teacher now. She didn't think it was a big deal before, but it still seems a little weird when she thinks about it now.

"Hmm---, that's right. I can ask about Lingzi's problem. I feel like Lingzi seems to be growing too fast lately."

The wind was whistling in my ears and the scenery was receding behind me.

A guy with a ball-shaped haircut had his feet in the air, his sportswear stuck tightly to his body, and his face still had a fearless (dull) look.

Reiko is growing a little too fast, and Natsume thinks it's because he often leaves some things in Reiko's brain, and some of his own ideas often affect Reiko.

In some aspects, Lingzi is becoming more and more like himself, for example, he likes to eat snacks, hates sports, and doesn't like to move after eating.

Maybe one day I will understand Natsume's weird idea that the meaning of life is meaningless and that people are just trying to muddle through every day.

But there is no way around it. The transfer of thoughts will inevitably bring some memories.

Most of them are ability formulas and the little thoughts in his head when he is free every day. Natsume doesn't have any psychological control, so naturally he has no way to regularly clean up the memories left in Zero's head.

Natsume doesn't know whether this phenomenon is good or bad. When she meets Mr. Kiyama later, she can ask him all the doubts in her heart.

A certain bun-head was a little worried whether it would affect the normal growth of Lingzi's thinking.

After all, Reiko's situation is somewhat special, and it's also Natsume's first time taking care of someone.

"Is this the place? Banri said that Mr. Kiyama opened a new company here."

"It seems that Mr. Kiyama's living standard has improved since he left the institute."

The air pressure dispersed, stirring up the nearby dust. The ace pilot landed steadily, and the ball-head finally arrived at his destination.

I had called Mr. Kiyama but failed to get through, so I thought of contacting Banri first. Fortunately, Banri answered the phone quickly.

What surprised Natsume was that Mr. Kiyama not only became a director of Zhachuan Junior High School, but also recently opened a new company as his base.

Being a director is just a status, not a job, and there is no fixed work location, so Mr. Kiyama often stays in the company.

"Mushan Pharmaceutical??"

Looking up at the Kiyama Pharmaceutical sign printed on the main entrance, Natsume-san's face showed a hint of suspicion as soon as he finished speaking.

Although it doesn't necessarily have to be related to education, Natsume is still confused by the sudden opening of a pharmaceutical company.

Moreover, the pharmaceutical industry in Academy City has long been dominated by several companies such as Higuchi Pharmaceutical and Yinhe Pharmaceutical. Is it really promising to open a pharmaceutical company here? Natsume couldn't help but express his concerns about this.

But none of this matters, Natsume-san is not here for a business meeting.

This is a five-story office building. It is unclear what it was used for originally, but it has now been bought by a wealthy teacher.

There are more and more rich women around him, so Natsume is no longer surprised.

After obtaining the access permission from Kiyama Pharmaceutical, Natsume took the transparent elevator upstairs. It seemed that elevators had become standard equipment no matter where you were.

She had no time to observe the scenery outside. As the elevator door opened, someone grabbed Natsume's fair little hand and took her to one of the offices.

"Sister Sonoko, it's me."

"I just received a call from Sonoko-sama, and I was wondering if the teacher had lost her phone somewhere again. She was so confused that it was really worrying. I happened to be nearby, so I came over to see the teacher first."

She wore a new pink headband, revealing her smooth white forehead, and was wearing an ordinary Kagawa Junior High School uniform. The girl named Edaseki Banri raised her head with some joy, revealing her beautiful fangs.

On the way, Natsume also found some scattered junior high school textbooks. She naturally had some too, but the ones from Tokiwadai Middle School were different.

Banri and the others are behind normal junior high school students in all basic aspects, so Mr. Kiyama sometimes gives them extra lessons, but only a few well-behaved girls come obediently.

"Banri, didn't you attend the Daihastari Festival today?"

Natsume Sonoko raised her head slightly and asked curiously.

Banri is taller than his sister Sonoko. After waking up, Banri seems to have grown taller.

"Yes, there are games tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. There are baseball games and frog jumps."

Banri turned around and said seriously while counting on his fingers.

There are a lot of students in Zhachuan Middle School, so there is no need to arrange a large number of competitions for each person.

This cashmere sofa feels very good, and you will feel relaxed when you sit on it.

A certain girl who liked to sleep on the sofa commented secretly, and then her eyes were fixed on the lady in a suit opposite her.

Mr. Kiyama's dark circles have not disappeared yet, but they have become much lighter, and his health condition has finally returned to that of an average person.

"Long time no see, Natsume-san."

The familiar lazy style was evident as soon as he opened his mouth. Kimura Haruo's eyes were calm yet with a hint of satisfaction.

He wore his suit meticulously, and it looked like he had gotten over his bad habit of taking off his clothes so casually.

Once upon a time, an action to purify social atmosphere seemed to be very successful.

Chapter 351 Smart One

With a hint of curiosity in his eyes, Natsume carefully observed the steaming teacup in front of him.

Edaseki Banri, who was acting as a babysitter, smiled beautifully and put two large pieces of sugar into the teacup and stirred it continuously. As the sugar melted into the liquid, white bubbles appeared one by one.

"Is this Mr. Kiyama's product? A drug that can stimulate brain function and thus improve computing power."

His pupils couldn't help but dilate slightly, and Natsume even forgot the purpose of his visit for a moment.

I looked at the liquid with some interest. It looked no different from ordinary milk tea and it seemed to smell good too.

After thinking about it carefully, Natsume could no longer suppress the expression of surprise on his face.

It turns out that Mr. Kiyama is going to enter the brain drug industry, which is in line with Mr. Kiyama's expertise, as he is an expert in brain physiology research.

"It's just a mental stimulant. It can slightly focus your mind and improve your brain's working efficiency. And for a period of time after drinking it, no matter what you do, it will increase the speed at which your brain's computing power is consumed. If an ordinary person who has not had his brain developed drinks it, he will immediately become listless."

Kimura Haruo said calmly.

There are many ways to improve computing power. The most common one is to use it more often to stimulate the potential of the brain.

In fact, this method does not need to use up all the computing power. As long as you continue to exercise your brain, you can get some growth.

Of course, the effect is not as obvious as if all the energy is consumed, provided that the individual's computing power limit is not reached.

Although this product has not yet been launched on the market, the related research and development work has been completed long ago, probably dating back to the time when Kimura Haruki was trying every means to awaken Banri and the others. The next step was to package it into various ability-assisting potions and supply them to schools and individuals.

"But if you just want to concentrate your mind and improve efficiency, ordinary coffee can easily do that. And auxiliary potions that actively consume computing power are not without competitors."

Edasaki Banri looked quite serious and said with some concern.

She had only been here for a few days, but she already knew a lot about the company run by her teacher, and even did some homework to help her teacher.

“But it tastes really good.”

Natsume hesitated for a moment, picked it up and took a sip, his eyes suddenly lit up.

It has a very strange taste, and it is unique among the many strange drinks in Academy City.

How should I put it, it's like lemon juice with chocolate and milk, and maybe some Wong Lo Kat.

Natsume tried to take another sip, and then drank it all in one breath. It didn't matter if she consumed some computing power, because she had so much of it anyway.

"As long as Natsume-san likes it, I also like this taste."

A smile appeared on Kimura Haruo's face and he stretched hard. His original dignified look was gone and he looked a little lazy instead.

"Don't worry about the market. This medicine has an irresistible advantage, which is that it has a long-lasting and stable effect. As long as you take it once a day in the morning, noon and evening, the effect can last for eighteen hours."

Kiyama Haruki said while looking at Banri with a smile, a hint of doting on his face.

"But Mr. Kiyama, why do you suddenly want to start a company?"

Natsume could feel his cerebral cortex starting to get excited, but the consumption of computing power was still minimal. Under such a huge base, it had no effect on the superpowers.

But it tastes delicious.

"I want to sponsor several nursing homes and schools for a long time, which requires a lot of funds, so I opened a company in this unused building. In addition, Academy City has recently significantly reduced funding for public servants, and even the nursing facilities for 'abandoned children' outside the system have been affected. Academy City seems to be in a state of financial strain."

"I have also chosen a name for this product, it is called Smart One..."

Haruo Kiyama did not hide anything and told everyone his plan.

After leaving her identity as a researcher and solving the problems with Banri and the others, this mature woman who had failed in her attempt to become a teacher finally had something she wanted to do.

This also made Natsume somewhat happy. It must be a good thing that Mr. Kiyama could live a good life and find new goals.

Although the name of this product is very similar to the brain-boosting health supplements that some merchants praised in my previous life.

"Well, I would recommend it to everyone at Tokiwadai."

Natsume nodded very seriously, and it was obvious that he meant it from the bottom of his heart.

Although it has no use for her, it is still effective for students with strong ability levels.

By the way, what am I doing here?

"Teacher Kiyama, I came here this time to ask a question to someone named Kihara Gensei."

After slapping his forehead hard, Natsume finally remembered something very important. Fortunately, only a few minutes had passed.

"My mentor?"

Before Natsume could continue speaking, Kiyama Haruo suddenly looked a little surprised.

"That's right." Natsume nodded quickly.

"Natsume-san, if possible, I hope you will never get involved with Kihara Gensei. I don't know when he started to become more and more extreme. He has become a person who will do anything to achieve his experimental goals. He is also a very dangerous person."

After a moment of silence, Kimura Haruo spoke up and said that there were some very bad fragments in her memory.

Ever since she learned the truth about the experiment, she and Kihara Gensei had completely broken up, but there was no doubt that she was still one of the people who knew Kihara Gensei best.

"I don't want to get involved with that bad old man. He was the one who caused trouble for us first. Not only did he secretly investigate the Misaka sisters, but he also sent people to attack my friends."

As she spoke, Natsume-san became angry.

Because of a certain bun, Teacher Kimura also knows about the existence of the younger sisters.

This is not the first time he has caused trouble.

Banri and the others are in deep sleep, and with the Absolute Escapist Plan, it seems that Thereseina, who hired the Anbu to attack the Hades Soul Chasing Hospital, is also his granddaughter. Maybe there is something that Natsume doesn't know.

This Kihara Gensei has been haunting Natsume and is one of the biggest culprits that interferes with Natsume's daily life.

Being angry cannot completely vent Natsume's inner emotions. She has an urge to grit her teeth, but her reason holds her back, allowing her to maintain her appearance.

Natsume knows very well that the best way to solve a problem is to get rid of the person who created the problem, so she agrees with Shokuhou-senpai's suggestion of confronting the problem head-on. This person must be eliminated.

After three rounds of tea, Natsume had a good impression of this new drink.

Gently looking up at Kimura Haruo who was right in front of her, Natsume-san had almost explained everything to Kimura-sensei, even explaining a little about their current situation.

Natsume has his own unique views on trusting others.

"Natsume-san, you should know one thing. The principle of developing my Fantasy Hand comes from the brainwave frequency modulation that Kihara Gensei taught me."

"If Kihara Gensei really has so many helpers at his disposal, and has taken away many people with special abilities from the Juvenile Reformatory, then Natsume-san and the rest of you may have to face a multi-talented person next."

Mr. Kiyama thought for a moment and said.

Chapter 352: Multi-talented Person

Multi-talented people are a genius idea and represent a possibility for the development of talented people.
