Temperature Control in Academy City

With just a slight sigh, Senior Sister from Yaouin regained her momentum.

"Perhaps we can invite that temperature controller to join the election management committee to oversee the election process. This is a job that the discipline committee members are good at, and they are usually selected from students without factions."

"This way, we can prevent the Shokuhou faction from cheating and neutralize the influence of the eighth place."

The maid suggested that this was part of the existing election rules and was not considered a violation.

Chapter 421: Capture Grenade

With the student council election on his mind, Natsume now has more things to shoulder.

I'm sorry for not supporting that senior from Masaoin. Natsume Sonoko has always been a very biased and willful girl. When you ask her to consider or participate in something, she usually does it from her own perspective.

It is of course a good thing if everyone is happy, but she cares more about her friends and partners.

Everything that Kihara Gensei had done before was, to some extent, for the purpose of exploring the future of people with special abilities and opening up unknown areas of science and technology. It was also beneficial to the entire class of people with special abilities. However, Natsume would never allow his senior to become a victim of technological development, and he would stop it if necessary.

Although there are more and more things in my mind, it does not affect someone's self-willedness at all. If you calculate the time carefully, there is not even a shadow of the election now, so let's talk about it when the time comes.

Doing things at the right time is the motto of the eighth place.

However, Natsume Sonoko is already looking forward to Shokuhou-senpai serving as the student council president.

In addition to wearing Tokiwadai's school uniform, she also has some insights into the layout of dishes in the restaurant.

Maids who are doing field training like to limit the number of desserts in the restaurant.

This is probably to prevent the young ladies of Tokiwadai from consuming too much sugar, which would cause them to become fat and white. For a specific counterexample, you can refer to Shokuhou-senpai herself.

But is this really reasonable? Letting everyone work hard to lose weight is part of youth, and supplementing enough sugar can help people thrive. A certain classmate with a ball head who never gets fat holds her chin up seriously, thinking seriously about her own crooked ways. She really likes to give all kinds of suggestions.

There were a lot of inexplicable thoughts in his mind, but the most important thing now was to rush to the next class. Natsume had clearly heard the bell for class before.

Her brain was emptied in an instant, and Natsume Sonoko raised her feet and rushed to another teaching building. She absolutely could not waste time.

"Natsume-san, even if you are going to be late for class, you can't just step on the floor I just mopped."

"We must respect the fruits of others' labor and be considerate of their hard work."

Tsuchimika Tsuchimika was holding a bucket and a mop, standing near the restaurant door with a righteous look on her face, and she ruthlessly blocked a girl with a bun who was trying to take a shortcut inside the restaurant.

"I'm sorry, Tsuchimikado."

Being caught on the spot, a guy with a bun hairstyle who was stopped said without any momentum.

Even though the ground is meant for people to step on, Tsuchimikado-san looks so majestic.

As expected, she is the future personal maid that he has set his eyes on. He must take Tsuchimikado-san home in the future. Natsume-san, who has strange thoughts in his mind, becomes even more dejected.

.....

In the afternoon, the Discipline Committee 003 activity branch.

This classroom, located in the club activity building within Tokiwadai Junior High School, seemed to be busier than usual.

From time to time, one could hear some unusual pulling sounds and the sound of heavy objects colliding, as well as the tit-for-tat conversations between two young girls who were members of the Discipline Committee.

"I know, you just don't want to give it to me."

"Hehe. Shirai-san, you have the ability to get things, and you have the ability to raise funds."

The constant chirping sounds seriously disturbed the girl with a bun-head hairstyle who was quietly basking in the sun not far away, although the weather was a little cloudy today.

Standing at the gate with an expressionless face, Natsume Sonoko tried to remain calm, but a strong sense of embarrassment surged in her heart.

Several girls who were participating in club activities passed by me one after another. They looked around with curious eyes, glanced at a girl with a bun, checked what was going on in the branch, and then quickly left this place of trouble.

Although she didn't want to face the strange looks from her classmates, Natsume Sonoko was even more embarrassed to walk into the activity branch in front of her. She could only wait patiently for the battle inside to enter a white-hot stage.

This was probably one of the few times that Natsume had come to the branch in her school since she joined the discipline committee. As a discipline committee member who was motivated by interest, Natsume didn't belong to any so-called activity branch, and she didn't even have daily tasks.

Anyway, how did it all happen?

Even though she rushed out of the school as soon as the class was over and took a path that she didn't usually take, she was still caught by some space movement at the entrance and exit. She had the superior information that the girl with the bun would not be invisible in the school garden, especially near the entrance and exit.

"Even though I promised to cooperate in solving the attack case, Shirai-san really doesn't trust others."

"Think about it this way, people like Senior from Yaouin are rare. They choose to be honest with each other as soon as they meet."

There was a hint of unhappiness on her face. Natsume was always unhappy with her twin-tailed classmate. But after all, she was raised by her own family, and there was no place to change her. She could only swallow her anger and bear the pain.

Would she be the kind of person who would give up halfway, throw all the things she doesn't want to do to others, and then just find a place to bask in the sun and enjoy the breeze and spend the whole afternoon leisurely?

Really, Natsume Sonoko's mood suddenly became bad.

After catching Natsume at the entrance, this space mover, in order to fully utilize the advantages of equipment and connections, prepared to go to the Discipline Committee Branch 003 to get something.

Well, let's just take it, anyway, Makigami Komaki across from me seems a little unhappy. (In the novel, Shirai Kuroko is from Branch 003, but in the Toaru Kagaku no Sokaku anime, she is now Branch 117, and the settings of this book are all based on the Toaru Kagaku no Sokaku anime. This is a headache, so I simply set it up as being nominally from the Tokiwadai branch, but actually actively requested to be active in the Zhagawa Junior High School branch because of her partnership with Hatsuharu.)

"Twenty entrapment grenades is absolutely impossible. The branch doesn't even have that much in stock."

"Also, the drone swarms all have the real-time location of the security guard teachers. You definitely can't take them out of the school garden."

Mu Shang Xiao Mu put his hands on his hips and angrily criticized the movement of space in front of him.

If the security teacher knew that these drone swarms were used for other purposes, he would have to write a letter of apology.

As a junior who had been directly taught by Shirai, she had long been aware of the reckless behavior of this twin-tailed guy, and she did not want to be involved in various incidents outside of school.

"I won't take the bait."

Shirai frowned slightly, realizing that this junior seemed to be getting more and more difficult to deal with. Is this the disadvantage of growing up?

"Then we have no choice but..." Shirai-san muttered to himself.

As a senior with great prestige, how could he allow a mere junior to put pressure on him?

As the door was slammed shut, a space mobile covered in dust was thrown out of the classroom, holding five small oval metal cans in its hands.

After activation, it can automatically identify the surrounding life forms, and at the same time release a high-tech prop made of titanium ropes to bind the opponent's entire body, which is enough to subdue most people with special abilities in an instant.

This kind of prop can only be used as a conventional weapon by the Discipline Committee 003 Branch, which is wealthy and supported by the Queen's faction. The conventional weapons of the slightly more ordinary Discipline Committee branches are just explosion-proof shields and explosion-proof helmets.

"With this thing, even a lone powerless person can subdue the attacker in an instant."

"Is this for those armed powerless groups?"

Natsume Sonoko said with some surprise that she also knew this kind of device, but had never held it.

However, this device is specifically used to restrict the ability of people with special abilities to move. For someone like her who can fly, it won't be affected much even if she is tied up.

"These are not for armed groups. It would be too dangerous if they got their hands on them. And every time we use one, we have to report it to the security guards and recycle the remains after use. How can we just give it to others?"

"In fact, as long as we equip these grenades on the flying camera and build a simple mechanism, Hatsuharu will be able to help us."

After looking at someone who was watching him make a fool of himself the whole time with great dissatisfaction, Shirai-san spoke.

Chapter 422 Eliminating the Influence

If the weak want to defeat the strong, they not only need to conduct thorough intelligence investigations in advance, but also develop a practical combat plan.

If the situation is reversed, the best way is to crush them head-on.

But for the discipline committee members who attach great importance to the formality of law enforcement, it is more important to have evidence of the other party's violation of the law than strong strength itself.

The two girls skillfully swiped their ID cards at the entrance of the school garden and left. They walked together through the forest of towering buildings, and the scenery around them was visibly receding rapidly.

The bad weather prevented the penetration of light and everything looked gloomy, but to some extent it greatly increased the fighting potential of a certain bun-head.

"Shirai-san, are we still going to review the attack location today?"

A soft voice within a stable airflow asked uncertainly.

Although she is the initiator of this action and has established a dominant position in front of the armed group of disabled people, Natsume is not as decisive as the armed group believes, and is currently in the status of a follower.

Speaking of which, Natsume is thinking about whether he should take back the leadership from Shirai. However, when he thought about how troublesome it would be to do so, and that he might have to deal with various subsequent matters, Natsume gave up a little.

In fact, according to the original plan of a certain bun-head, after contacting the armed group, she let Shirai take charge, which was in line with expectations.

However, the only difference was that Shirai insisted on dragging me along, and even blocked me at the entrance, causing all my plans to fall through.

Shirai-san usually always finds fault with me, but now he has suddenly become inseparable from me, which makes people wonder what the hell is going on.

"No, we confirmed enough attack locations yesterday."

"There are quite a few gray areas within the Seventh School District, and many small places are only known to armed groups. With the help of these people, we should be able to better understand the attackers' activity areas."

Silently watching his personal driver and tool man, Shirai-san fully utilized his own advantages and made rational use of all available resources.

Not only can it solve incidents more conveniently, but it can also prevent some bun-headed kid from harassing his elder sister after having nothing to do after eating.

The negotiations with the armed disabled people actually ended very early yesterday, and the time that followed was probably spent on confirming the identity of the attackers.

The armed disabled people have obviously collected more information than the discipline committee members, and have even obtained a list of some of the attackers. This is a very great achievement.

However, this list of attackers obviously did not satisfy Shirai, and he spent the entire afternoon trying to understand the intelligence held by the armed disabled people. He not only visited some of the victims, but also confirmed the locations where they were attacked, and then compiled a map of the areas where the attackers were active.

"The list I got from Komaba Reid can only be used as a reference. We must investigate it carefully to confirm whether it is credible."

"So since yesterday, Hatsuharu has been investigating the people on the list in the library and on the Internet. So far, we have found some descriptions of them participating in games that attack people with disabilities from their social records, which basically confirms the credibility of the list."

"And from these people's social records and related friends, Hatsuharu has already found some other people who are equally suspicious."

After a pause, Shirai Kuroko said with some concern.

We already know the names of some of the people involved and the places they frequent, so it is easy to get evidence of the other party's attack. However, these social records cannot be used as direct evidence, otherwise the incident may be resolved faster.

"I understand. As long as these suspects are close to areas where attacks often occur, we can predict in advance whether the other party is going to launch an attack."

"Although there are no cameras or satellite surveillance in the gray area, there are no such restrictions outside the gray area. Surveillance and satellites can be used as effective tools to monitor the other party's actions. In this way, we can save a lot of useless time and make corresponding preparations in advance."

Natsume nodded thoughtfully, and a serious look immediately appeared on his face.

They can also check the relevant surveillance records near the time of the attack. With the location and time of the attack, they can further confirm the identity of the attacker.

Shirai-san is really capable and deserves to be the most vicious discipline committee member.

Although it was just a simple trick, it was surprisingly useful. So in order to prevent them from running out of manpower, they prepared the grenade in advance.

As for the monitoring and satellite permissions, they are probably the easiest to solve. With the super hacker Hatsuharu around, it is not a problem.

"Because of the Daihastari Festival, Academy City has increased its security level, and attacks on people with no abilities have been curbed."

"But with the Daiha Sei Festival over and classes starting normally, the security level has returned to normal, and those attackers are sure to become active again, especially after school and club activities are over."

Shirai frowned slightly, as if he had thought of something.

"But there is another problem here. Because of the intervention of 'Skill Out', the enemy may avoid the areas where 'Skill Out' members are active and choose more hidden corners to attack."

"Then in order to dispel the concerns of these attackers, it is necessary to first take several important figures of the armed group back to the security building or somewhere else for isolation for a few days, and also have the group announce that it will no longer protect disabled students who are attacked."

Shirai-san spoke quietly, with a serious look on her little face.

There is no doubt that this well-organized armed group has great hidden dangers. The more disciplined the organization is, the more exclusive and stubborn it is, and sooner or later it will become a headache for the discipline committee and security guards.

Most of them are bad boys, many of whom have criminal records. Once they lose control, they are likely to go to extremes. Even with their help, Shirai's opinion of them has not changed much.

Therefore, while solving the case of attacking the disabled, Shirai Kuroko can also try to eliminate this hidden danger at the same time. The simplest way is to cut off the other party's way of making moves.

Without a steady stream of students seeking asylum from them, their influence and threat would naturally become much smaller.

"Eh?"

Chapter 423: Expectation

The work of the Discipline Committee is hard, but it definitely does not include dealing with hidden dangers of all sizes hidden deep within the city.

However, once some things are connected to each other, dealing with only one part of them can cause a chain reaction and easily eliminate some foreseeable dangers.

After thinking for a moment, Natsume nodded silently. She did not reject her teammate's decision.

Although Shirai-san's idea is a bit strong, it is not incomprehensible.

Considering that the case can be solved as soon as possible, Natsume Sonoko also felt that the members of the armed group could no longer be allowed to cause trouble. The discipline committee member intervened, so the methods and approaches must be changed.

Violent means caused by venting emotions and normal law enforcement by the discipline committee are two mutually exclusive things.

However, even though the two methods are very different, both sides seem to be trying to uphold a certain kind of justice in their hearts.
