Temperature Control in Academy City

"Hey, why didn't I think of it before?"

Some faint moonlight shone in through the window. Natsume Sonoko tossed and turned, and her whole body sank into the middle of the sofa, like a poor girl swallowed by quicksand.

If I ask Misaka-senpai for help, I can definitely develop some electromagnetic skill trees, and maybe even learn Misaka-senpai's signature move, the A Certain Scientific Railgun.

However, Natsume does not have much need for the railgun, as she already has alternatives such as atomic collapse for similar attack methods.

As for the special skills of the other esper users, except for the unknown principle of the seventh and the unknown identity of the sixth, Natsume is particularly concerned about Accelerator's vector manipulation and reflection abilities.

Since Academy City can use technology to simulate similar reflection technology, it can create cutting-edge products such as vector operation calculation suits.

This means that this ability still conforms to the physical rules of this real universe and can be understood and analyzed, so there is a possibility that Natsume can imitate this ability.

Chapter 427: Using Kuatai to control Misaka

If you want to simulate the ability of the first person and get an effect similar to vector operation, in addition to microscopic observation methods, figuring out how the opponent's ability works is the most important thing.

If it was just a simple matter of changing the direction of things, Natsume Sonoko could have achieved it indirectly by interfering with the movement of particles through her own personal reality, even though such means seemed very crude.

The actual operation of vector operations is definitely similar to Natsume's control of particles to a certain extent, but due to the differences in personal realities, the interference methods are strange and varied, and completely different types of abilities are derived from this.

It’s a pity that the vector operation and calculation suit that Kihara Gensei wore before was not kept.

I heard from Shokuhou-senpai that the thing has been recovered as an important asset of Academy City.

Otherwise, Natsume Sonoko would have new materials to use as references. Also recycled might be an old man who is unable to think normally and an artificially enlarged brain that was destroyed in advance.

Judging from Academy City's familiarity with the ability of Vector Manipulation, it is very likely that they have conducted a lot of research and reverse engineering on Accelerator's way of thinking, and perhaps there are a lot of shameful secret experiments similar to the Absolute Ability Project going on in secret.

If this information can be obtained, Natsume's development of vector operation capabilities will not be nonsense, and at least he can obtain some of the opponent's reflection characteristics.

Just like usual, a row of alarm clocks that disturb people's dreams are frozen, and someone is always in a bad mood when waking up in the morning.

Fortunately, I had excellent self-management skills and the sword of Damocles from the dorm supervisor, so I jumped off the sofa reluctantly even though I didn't want to get up.

It’s so hard, I don’t want to go to school.

When Shokuhou-senpai takes control of the student union, we must have a good talk with the school and the dorm supervisor about the wake-up time. It would be best if classes can be scheduled until nine o'clock or something, and the rule of having to get up early on weekends can also be abolished.

Ignoring some unrealistic dreams, Natsume's spirits have improved a little, and it seems that he has found the goal for the next stage.

"Ah."

In front of the familiar mirror, Natsume carefully showed off her clean teeth. Keeping them clean is the most important etiquette for ladies.

In addition to keeping it clean, paying attention to skin care is also of utmost importance.

Today is a sunny day. Natsume even put on the sunscreen provided by the school, and his little face was flushed.

When everything was ready, I opened the door and met Shigefuku who was already waiting at the door.

"Good morning."

Smiles appeared on their faces and the two girls greeted each other eagerly.

"Have you noticed that Shirai-san looks very strange today?"

Shigefuku Shohan poked the girl with a bun-like head who was queuing for food in the restaurant with some concern and said in a strange tone.

"Hey, I guess I was locked out of the student dormitory again last night."

After a slight pause, Natsume turned his gaze suspiciously to Shirai Kuroko, who was dining side by side with Misaka-senpai not far away, and said uncertainly.

She had too many thoughts last night and didn't pay attention to what was happening with Shirai.

"Has Shirai always been so brave?"

A look of surprise appeared on Chongfu Shengfan's face at the right moment.

It has been nearly a month since Shigefuku entered Tokiwadai Junior High School, and he has gradually become familiar with life in the Tokiwadai student dormitory.

They also had a general understanding of the dormitory supervisor's style. As long as they didn't make any mistakes, they wouldn't be punished. But if they made a mistake, the consequences would be very serious. Even the two people with super powers were trembling with fear and kept their heads down.

...

I saw Shirai-san who had lost her dream in the student dormitory restaurant early in the morning. This was in stark contrast to her usual perverted appearance.

Senior Misaka didn't seem to be in a good condition either. She was eating while gritting her teeth and thinking about something, with a strange aura emanating from her whole body.

After taking a strange look at the abnormal duo, Natsume and the others took their plates and sat down next to them.

Perhaps Natsume is the only one who can sit next to the A Certain Scientific Railgun who is in a bad mood without any pressure, Shigefuku Shoho thought to himself.

Although she is acquainted with the Railgun, his identity as a psychic still has a significant impact on her.

“This is a complete nightmare.”

With both hands on the dining table, Misaka-senpai stood there with great momentum, attracting a lot of puzzled looks.

"terribly sorry."

Her face suddenly turned red, and Miss A Certain Scientific Railgun, who had finally recovered from her morning grumpiness, reacted instantly and spoke to the classmates around her in an awkward manner.

"So, Misaka-senpai, you used an Indian card called Quata Paradise, and ended up being coerced by the cute Quata and had to disguise yourself as a maid to serve Shokuhou-senpai."

His ears perked up slightly as he finally figured out what happened from Misaka-senpai's side.

Natsume was not unfamiliar with the term Indian poker. On the contrary, he had formed some conditioned reflexes because he had seen this term too many times last night. He put down the cutlery in his hand and summarized.

Can you use Quata to control Misaka?

It seems that Misaka-senpai has gotten over her previous sad mood, which is good news.

However, the dream actually showed a scene of becoming a maid to serve Shokuhou-senpai, and it was also classified as an orange dream card representing a sweet dream. So the original owner of this dream must be very strange, and at least in some aspects he or she has the potential to become another Shirai-classmate.

This is so scary. There are so many hidden talents in Academy City. I really want to know who created Quata Park.

At this time, senior Junko Hokaze, who was eating in another restaurant in the Tokiwadai student dormitory, sneezed loudly.

Do you have a cold? You need to get treatment immediately, or you can’t infect the Queen, a senior with purple-haired princess curls thought seriously.

"As expected, Misaka-senpai also used this kind of thing."

The next second, Natsume Sonoko's head started to work.

So many people are using it, and it doesn't seem to cause any consequences other than being grouchy when waking up. Am I making a big deal out of nothing?

"Also, what happened to Shirai-san?"

Pointing to the mechanical space that moved breakfast into the stomach, Natsume Sonoko raised her question.

If Shirai loses motivation, who will do all the work of the discipline committee?

Are we going to let the frail Chuchun handle so much work alone?

This is a more serious crisis than Indian Poker. Natsume subconsciously ignored the fact that he is also a member of the Discipline Committee.

"I'm not sure. I woke up early in the morning and saw her like this."

Frowning, Misaka-senpai said in confusion.

When he opened his eyes, he saw Shirai Kuroko half-kneeling beside his bed. He felt like a salted fish and had lost his dreams. Could it be that he was talking in his sleep?

Holding her chin, Misaka-senpai unconsciously pursed her lips.

It took a long time to come to any useful conclusion, and finally it was concluded that Shirai reflected on his past abnormal behaviors and finally felt guilty.

Chapter 428: The Light of Righteousness

Although I can't find out why Shirai-san suddenly became autistic, life must go on after all.

At breakfast, you should pay attention to balanced nutrition, so supplementing protein and carbohydrates for breakfast is the best solution that the maids consider for Tokiwadai students.

After taking a small bite of the fried egg, leaving the yolk that he didn't like for last, Natsume thought of something important in his mind.

"Misaka-senpai, have you solved your discharge problem?"

Looking up, Natsume-san started asking something.

She remembered that Misaka-senpai was still worried about the abnormal electrical discharge in her body, and a certain space shifter had come up with an idea that sounded good.

A field is constructed on the body surface that can interfere with the body's internal structure. This is the so-called bioelectric interference formula, which is used to monitor discharge phenomena and strengthen various body functions.

"Not yet. It will probably take some time."

"Originally, I asked Hokaze-senpai for help after school yesterday, but the 'ghost' prank incident happened unexpectedly. Since most of the people who were attacked were members of Shokuhou Misaki's faction, Hokaze-senpai was too busy."

"As for first-year student Arisugawa, I didn't run into her yesterday."

The depressed expression on her face became more and more obvious, and Misaka Mikoto then realized that she still had a huge hidden danger.

Hokaze Junko is a third-year senior, and Arisugawa is a first-year student. Apart from occasionally meeting each other in physical education and life classes, they don't have much interaction with each other.

Just like Natsume-san, she hangs around in the first-year circle and rarely comes into contact with second-year students Misaka-san and Shigefuku-san during class time. Instead, she meets Shirai-san from time to time.

However, because she had something to ask for, Misaka Mikoto took the initiative to go up and talk to her during the physical education class yesterday. In the process, she also got the Indian playing card that gave her the nightmare from that senior.

"Is this so?"

Natsume Sonoko nodded slightly.

"By the way, I actually have something to ask of you, Senior."

"I want to ask Senior about some abilities."

After hesitating for a while, Natsume remembered something he had considered last night and spoke.

"Questions about ability?"

A look of confusion suddenly appeared on Misaka Mikoto's face.

If she was asking for help with study problems, it would be normal. After all, she was a sophomore and her grades were among the best.

But when it comes to abilities, she is at a loss. It seems that she and Natsume have no similar abilities at all.

Natsume's ability is heat-related, which has nothing to do with people with power generation abilities. Could it be a problem of some derivative effects?

"Wait a minute."

The recognizable voice was coldly sandwiched between the two superpowers, attracting the attention of Shigefuku who was sitting opposite.

"Onee-sama, Kuroko also has questions about his abilities that he would like to ask you."

With his hands on the table, the indifferent expression on Shirai's face finally disappeared, replaced by an extremely dissatisfied and angry face, looking directly at the bun-haired man who suddenly made a strange request.

Even though my elder sister treated my feelings so rudely, she is still my elder sister, and I must not let irrelevant people get close to her.

Thinking of this, Shirai felt a pang in his heart.

He made a passionate confession for several minutes beside his elder sister's bed, admired her beautiful face while she slept as if it were a daily activity, and even stretched out his arms to prepare a loving good morning hug in advance.

But my elder sister said something so hurtful as "Only a devil would do that".

Although my elder sister was still asleep at that time, and perhaps was in a state of unwillingness and coercion, the feeling still lingered.

Wake up, Shirai Kuroko.

There is no time to be sad now, you must take action and get rid of that bun-head. Shaking her head which was not very bright, a girl with twin ponytails encouraged herself.

"Go away."

"I want to ask you about any ability you have in space movement."

With dissatisfaction on his face, Natsume-san retorted without any hesitation.

The feeling of confusion became stronger and stronger, and she could no longer keep up with Shirai's train of thought.

"Natsume-san."

Noticing the subtle changes in the situation, Shigefuku pulled the sleeve of a girl's school uniform with some concern.

Why did they suddenly start arguing?

Also, Misaka-san is really popular.

Nothing worrying happened, nor did it turn into a peak showdown between the girls, such as finding an empty intersection and dancing the cha-cha while picking on each other.

In the end, Misaka-senpai agreed to both of her juniors' requests for advice, even though Shirai was just looking for trouble.

As usual, Natsume and her classmates did not take the school bus. After breakfast, they chose to walk to school.

Classmate Chongfu stammered and said that he wanted to lose weight recently, so he joined a few people in the walking team to go to school, and one point was added to the walking team.

Since the Daihasei Festival wasn’t over that long ago, we could still see slogans from that time along the way.
