Temperature Control in Academy City

Hatsuharu screamed in the crowd, instantly affecting Banri, Harukami and the others beside her.

"Yeah, it feels like I'm watching an old movie. Natsume-san is really interesting."

Trying to open his eyes wide, Edasaki Banri suddenly laughed and couldn't help but say.

"Don't worry about her. She may be suffering from some inexplicable paranoia, or she may just think this is convenient."

Shirai-san made a grand appearance in a wheelchair, with one hand on the wheelchair supporting his chin, and spoke with a somewhat lame expression.

Because she was separated from Misaka-senpai, this space-moving lady was undoubtedly in a bad mood, and even her voice seemed weak.

And if she hadn't heard that someone's competition was nearby, she wouldn't have been in the mood to come and watch Natsume's game.

By the way, where is Saten-san?

Raising his head, Shirai Kuroko looked around with some concern, and then he found that Saten was rushing over here with a bunch of soda.

At this moment, at the starting point of the three-legged race, the mosaic girl has modified some parameters of light refraction so that she does not look like she has no head. This is a lesson learned from the last race.

She just pretended not to notice the strange looks from all around her. After all, Daihasei was allowed to use her abilities, and she didn't break any rules.

Adhering to certain self-protection measures, Natsume stands with his head held high in this turbulent world, enduring the misunderstandings of the world from time to time.

"Natsume-san, our opponents actually include the high school department of Hope's Peak."

He carefully poked Natsume Sonoko's arm, instantly interrupting someone's distracted thoughts. Teammate Hanakaiin Mei said nervously that in her eyes, the bun was still the same normal old one.

Although she has people with super powers on her side, the age difference also makes her feel a little stressed.

The operating committee of the Daihasesai Festival not only needs to coordinate the players from hundreds of schools, but also has to take into account various emergencies. This also causes the competitions of the Daihasesai Festival to change at any time, and all the competitors cannot be determined until the moment it starts.

Moreover, the score gap between Tokiwadai Junior High School and Nagaden Jyouki Academy is not very large now, and it is very likely that a single failure will lead to a reversal in the rankings. This is also something that a certain Hanakaiin student with a strong sense of responsibility is very concerned about.

"Don't worry, our tactics are foolproof."

"It doesn't matter what kind of opponent it is."

With a serious expression on his face, Natsume turned his shoulders vigorously, doing the final warm-up exercises in a very professional manner.

The girl's head was filled with the psychic's inflated self-confidence, and she seemed to be confident about this competition.

According to the so-called tactics, Hua Kaiyuan was responsible for collecting real-time information of other opponents, while she led Hua Kaiyuan to the finish line in one breath.

Just as expected, Natsume himself was also subject to some restrictions of the competition.

However, these restrictions are mostly to avoid affecting the surrounding spectators, or simply to protect other contestants. The impact on Natsume is just to suppress the scope and intensity of the ability used.

The waiting time is usually longer than the actual game, and the long warm-up exercises are also uninspiring.

And when the game officially started, even Natsume couldn't help but straighten his expression.

However, Natsume's movements are always a beat slower than others. His brain is the first to react when he hears the starting gun, but by the time his body starts to move, he is much slower.

Fortunately, her teammates were strong and a great force was transmitted from her small body. As the left and right legs of the two people were tied tightly together, Miss Ball Hair was dragged forward by her teammates and barely ranked first in the race.

"Here we go, just around the corner ahead. Someone is planning to use their abilities there."

Not long after the game started, Hanakaiin noticed something strange about his opponent and reminded Natsume Sonoko beside him.

"I understand, Team Hanakaiin."

With a solemn look on his face, Natsume has restrained some of his perception and chooses to hand over this part of the work to the girl next to him.

Natsume could easily lift two people and half-fly and half-run all the way to the finish line of the race, but there was no point in doing so.

What a certain bun-haired girl cares about is the time spent training with Hanakaiin, rather than the so-called competition results, otherwise she would not have rejected the previous proposal of the dormitory supervisor to ask for leave.

So once he gets down to earth, Natsume-san starts to seem ordinary.

Chapter 406 Two People and Three Legs

No matter how slow you are on the ground, as long as you have a set goal, you will eventually reach the end.

Keeping this in mind, the ordinary girl maintained a rare enthusiasm and tried her best to move her short and slender legs, trying to keep up with the speed of Hanakaiin.

Not quite like someone who always runs last in gym class.

As the captain of the Kendo Club, Hanakaiin's athletic talent far exceeds that of ordinary people, which is in sharp contrast to her petite figure.

However, after many rounds of cooperative training, the two of them were able to maintain a constant pace, and there was no result that one side was too lagging behind.

Soon after the race started, at the first corner, a strange pull suddenly occurred, and the group running in the front was caught off guard and fell to the ground while turning.

At this time, the group with telekinetic powers appeared leisurely and surpassed their opponents, then glanced at the Tokiwadai duo who were walking slowly behind them with great concern.

I heard that Natsume Sonoko of Tokiwadai is a terrifying character with a strong desire for revenge, and she has a terrifying record of defeating the first place. But now it is a competition after all, as long as the rules allow, it is not impossible to defeat the superpower.

However, before they could start attacking the Tokiwadai team, they discovered that the two people who had just fallen had returned to the game.

The ground under my feet became difficult to walk on. It turned out that the sneakers and the ground were attracted together by a force, and my movements suddenly became slow.

"Luckily, the other party's target is not us."

After running around the corner without any danger, Hua Kaiyuan breathed a sigh of relief and said.

Although I'm not worried about meeting the other party, I'm also worried about being targeted by everyone from the beginning. It seems that Natsume-san still has some deterrent power.

However, a girl with a bun on the side was having a lot of fun. A blush of embarrassment began to appear on her face, but she seemed to be enjoying it.

Sure enough, destroying things openly is different. Apart from being a bit tiring and busy, the Daiba Star Festival is actually quite interesting.

In the high-definition video footage from a flying camera, a certain filtered girl's fair arms were slightly raised, and her clenched hands looked quite aggressive.

At the same time, the girl from Suzuki Junior High School three meters away slowed down her pace. The lenses of her glasses were suddenly covered with a thick layer of frost, making it difficult for her to see the road ahead.

The sudden change made the girl with glasses next door panic. Then, with two screams, the girl with glasses and her teammates stumbled and fell on a ball of soft air.

"It hurts, no...it's so soft."

There was no pain for a long time, and the confused girl from Suzuki Junior High School finally climbed up with her head in her hands, and touched the air flow that caught them with some curiosity.

However, he discovered that the straps around his feet had just loosened, and he had lost his qualification for the competition. He then accepted the fact of his elimination with a bitter face.

"Hehe, let's just make a grand exit like this."

His frown relaxed and the girl with a bun-haired hairstyle who was passing by muttered something inaudibly, with a look of excitement on her face.

The classmate Hanakaiin beside him widened his eyes in strangeness, as if he realized for the first time that someone had the tendency of chuunibyou, but his age was quite consistent, and he also liked to read comics and so on.

"Hanakaiin-san, let's finish off Hope's Peak in one fell swoop."

It seems that he has been completely immersed in it. Natsume-san fully demonstrates his love of joining in the fun and starts looking for his next target with blinking eyes.

Not long after the three-legged race started, three groups of players were disqualified.

Even the high school group from Hope's Peak was eliminated, and of course Natsume had contributed to this.

However, the fewer the participating members are, the more clashes between various abilities there are, and Natsume's group is receiving more attention.

After all, there are people with super powers there, so even if they hadn't communicated with them in advance, the remaining teams couldn't help but turn their attention to Tokiwadai Middle School.

One, two, one, left, left, left, I silently counted the order of my legs in my mind.

Finally, two breathless girls ran out from the last bend of the finish line.

Not far behind them, two teams were still chasing each other. Their sportswear looked a little messy, and it seemed that the competition between them had become fierce.

"Isn't it too noisy? It won't be a foul, right?"

Hanakaiin-san said with some concern while controlling his speed so as not to let teammates with less stamina fall behind.

Seeing that they were overtaken by the other two teams by more than ten meters, a guy with a bun made full use of his strengths, created an eight-force gale on the track, and then overtook all opponents with a slight advantage.

"It doesn't matter. The two-legged race allows interference with the opponent."

"And I have controlled the range and strength. As long as the weight is 80 kilograms, I won't be blown away. And the two of us together weigh at least 160 kilograms."

Natsume Sonoko nodded in affirmation and said with a righteous look on her face. She had already read the rules of the competition and collected some weight data of her opponents.

Not only will it not hurt anyone, even the strong winds will be firmly fixed to the stadium and will not affect the surrounding spectators.

In fact, no matter how much restrictions are imposed, it is actually quite difficult to make a superpower like Natsume lose in the competition.

"Be careful, watch your step." This is the voice of Hua Kaiyuan classmate.

With his dazed eyes flickering slightly, Natsume quickly understood what his teammate meant.

He just managed to control the air around him, and a thick wall of ice suddenly rose up under his feet, and he got rid of the opponent's gravity in an instant.

But before he could gain a foothold, a new round of attacks came.

The ice under their feet suddenly collapsed, and the water molecules inside moved violently and turned into liquid. The liquid immediately climbed up and prepared to wrap around their ankles. This was probably someone with the ability to control water.

However, this did not interfere with the actions of Natsume Sonoko and the others at all. With a thought, they dispersed the gathering of water flow, stepped on the air flow again and ran to a safe area.

The road ahead immediately became smooth. As long as they could keep a distance from the people with special abilities, the threat would drop sharply. It was obvious that Natsume's competitors were not strong enough.

"Natsume-san, we won."

“Finally finished the run.”

Although the words and phrases used are different, the meaning sounds similar.

The Tokiwadai team broke through the red line at the finish line and had a gap of nearly 30 meters between them and the second place team, winning the race with an overwhelming advantage.

At this time, a large number of flying cameras began to gather above the heads of Natsume and Sonoko.

As expected, the close-up shots of faces that looked like they were blurred out looked pretty weird.

Chapter 407 Game

On the last day of the Daiba Star Festival, there were few people in the Discipline Committee 177, but one could still faintly hear the sound of objects colliding and falling to the ground.

If we consider that this is one of the bases of the Discipline Committee and there is an extremely brutal space mover who does his side job here all year round, then the guys coming here are very questionable.

All traces of the magician's last visit have completely disappeared, and even the walls and floors have been renovated and replaced with a strong home style.

The newly built small balcony extends a little outside the wall. In order not to affect the general structure of the building, the extended length is only about one step. There are also several pots of newly bought green plants on the table. Chuchun said that they were gifts from the senior schoolmate named Yanagi Bimei.

Although that senior was also a member of the Discipline Committee here, she was always busy dating and enjoying her life as a couple and basically never came to branch activities. Even Shirai had only seen her a few times.

Busy footsteps echoed throughout the room, and occasionally one could hear the girl mumbling to herself, probably thinking about a difficult problem.

The bookshelf that originally contained various documents and files had been inexplicably stuffed with a bunch of comic books, and even the camping grill and iron pot with rings were neatly placed near the coat rack near the window.

Around the black tea and desserts that the wreath girl had spent a lot of money on, there were somehow a lot of canned instant foods and various seasonings. It seemed that someone had moved his entire camping suit here.

It seemed that the space was still not big enough. A certain girl held her chin and tried to think of a solution. Then she looked at the largest storage cabinet in the room with sudden realization.

As long as we squeeze Shirai-san's things into the corner and put Gufa-san's Musashi no milk here, the remaining space can be used to place more things.

"Luckily I wasn't chosen to attend the closing ceremony, otherwise I wouldn't be able to stand all the chatter. But suddenly I feel it's a pity that the Daihastar Festival is going to end like this. I feel like it's just beginning."

"Hehe, Saten-san should accept the reality. Besides, there's still the bonfire party today, and it's not completely over yet."

"That's true, but whenever I think about the classes and the series of ability development, I lose all motivation."

The sound of chatting came from the door. It seems that the sound insulation here is not good enough.

Chuchun bent down and looked at the miniature camera on the gate of Branch 177, and the gate with iris recognition function opened with a bang.

As the two groups stared at each other, Natsume put down the things in his hands and couldn't help but smile shyly.

"Hey, Natsume-san wants to bring something to the branch office!?"

Chuchun glanced suspiciously at the various canned instant foods and seasonings near the black tea. She always felt that these things were somewhat different from the image of a young lady in her mind, although a certain spatial movement had almost destroyed them.

Young ladies are supposed to do nothing like in girls' comics, just drink tea and eat snacks every day, and then be dressed up in neat and gorgeous evening gowns by maids to attend various balls.

But this is probably just Hatsuharu's wishful thinking. In reality, the hard life of the young ladies of Tokiwadai is unknown to outsiders. In addition to normal studies, they have to deal with everything from flower arrangement and tea ceremony to cooking.

The more comprehensive the learning, the more you can take care of students with different needs and adapt to the development of different types of abilities. However, for Natsume, he has now unlocked a lot of additional life skills.

In fact, the "eldest lady of Tokiwadai" is just a nickname and does not refer to the eldest lady of a wealthy family in the true sense. Otherwise, Tokiwadai Middle School would not need to use generous scholarships to attract students.

The hard requirement to enter Tokiwadai is to reach the level of a strong ability user, not the so-called family or identity. Before, the application of a foreign royal family was rejected. It's just that girls who have reached the level of strong ability are too rare in Academy City, so they are given the title of eldest lady.

Of course, there are quite a few real rich ladies in Tokiwadai Middle School, including the married senior and Shirai classmate, and even Natsume Sonoko herself can be considered one of them.

"Well, there's too much room in the dorm for some of it, but I can't bear to throw it away. But I already told Senior Gufa before I came here."
