Temperature Control in Academy City

"How should I put it? By the way, for example, cover your mouth secretly and say something to yourself."

Sitting in a ladylike posture, Natsume's small leather shoes stepped on an invisible layer of air flow, holding her light yellow mobile phone in her hand and typing text seriously.

Although there have been convenient methods such as voice input for a long time, Natsume always feels that he can't get to the essence of sending text messages and emails.

In order to avoid attracting too much attention, such situations can be assumed to be that someone has turned on invisible mode.

On the other end of the phone was a blonde girl who was gaining weight due to laziness and excessive sugar intake.

I heard that the girl has started trying to lose weight through exercise, and even ordered some weight loss products by mail a few days ago. Her determination is really amazing.

Putting aside Shokuhou-senpai's sudden weight loss plan, Natsume-san is obviously more concerned about Hokaze-senpai. Shokuhou-senpai will definitely give up in the end anyway, and maybe she bought it just to comfort herself, to understand the other person as well as she understands herself.

However, Natsume was thinking about how to explain the abnormality of Senior Fanfeng. She had no evidence that the aim field on Senior Fanfeng's body was disturbed, so after thinking about it, she decided to use something visible.

Senior Fanfeng was very cautious today and even covered her mouth when she talked to herself. However, for some people, this action had no effect at all and instead added some weirdness.

But in order to protect Senior Fanfeng's self-esteem, she and Senior Misaka pretended not to see it.

"So you discovered the garden too."

"The changes in Fanfeng are very special. I have been hesitating whether to intervene."

"Speaking of which, Fanfeng violated the school rules yesterday, which was rare. She came to attack me in the middle of the night after lights out. Especially since she was wearing an off-shoulder evening dress and heavy makeup. She said she wanted me to see her, which really scared me."

Inside the inner dormitory of the Gakusha Garden, Shokuhou-senpai had just made a cup of super sweet black tea that was high in sugar and calories. She glanced at the yoga mat that had arrived earlier, then drank it with a clear conscience and a gentle smile appeared on her face.

It is better to wait until the evening to start working on losing weight. Now it is just an ordinary afternoon tea for the young lady. Don’t disturb your afternoon for such a small matter.

"Well, this is really surprising."

After a slight pause, Natsume silently sent the message, obviously feeling that he really didn't know that senior student well enough.

She obviously looks so dignified and beautiful, and is a very good young lady, but she didn't expect her behavior to be so bold.

Running out after lights out, wearing clothes other than school uniform, putting on makeup, and attacking classmates at night directly violated a lot of school rules. Of course, it doesn't count as a violation of school rules as long as you don't get caught.

However, this also made Natsume suddenly silent, and a pair of brown twin ponytails fluttering in the wind suddenly came to his mind.

Is this an inevitable fate?

"Sonoko, it's not what you think."

"There's something about Fanfeng. She's usually a good student like Sonoko. But that girl is sometimes very stubborn and just as tsundere. But she's not as capable as Sonoko, which makes people worry."

Squinting her eyes to input text, Shokuhou-senpai obviously doesn't like voice input. However, unlike Natsume-san, Shokuhou-senpai is relatively backward in tinkering with electrical appliances.

As an old hand at peeking into other people's memories, Shokuhou-senpai had apparently also peeked into Hokaze Junko's head. This was her way of caring for her friends.

For people with special abilities, ordinary moral concepts are no longer applicable. After all, it is impossible to stop using abilities just because others oppose them. This is completely inconsistent with the logic of people with special abilities.

Once they give up using their abilities, many people with these abilities will be in a very dangerous situation.

Then, moral concepts unique to those with abilities are born, but the biggest difference is whether they can stick to the bottom line, rather than caring about other people's opinions on the ability itself.

"If I were to explain it in a way that even Misaka-san can understand, it would be that Hokaze encountered some kind of ghost-like existence. This ghost is the kind of ghost we often talk about, at least that's what Hokaze thinks."

"From some of the signs we got from Fanfeng's memory, we can currently infer that the other party has the ability to possess and control the body. He has not shown any signs of hostility or danger, and is suspected to have a great liking for Fanfeng."

"And Fanfeng has been busy trying to find the identity of Miss Ghost recently, and it seems like she has made some friends. So, Natsume-san doesn't need to worry too much, but I feel a little uneasy just leaving it alone."

Shokuhou-senpai continued typing, sharing some of the information she had obtained with Natsume-san.

However, the speed of sending messages seemed to have slowed down. It seemed that typing so many words at once was also a big challenge for the senior student.

The matter of Indian Poker has not been clarified yet, and there are some confusing things, which are related to members of their own faction.

"So should we try to knock out Senior Fanfeng?"

On the other side, a girl with a bun on her head was trying to come up with ideas, and she thought of the way the senior student changed the subject.

At this time, she also understood what the ghost that Senior Fanfeng had mentioned before was. She didn't expect that the aim force field would appear in front of Senior Fanfeng in the form of a ghost.

So, actually, the aim force field can be used to rely on people's thoughts.

Strange knowledge increased.

"Are you going to torture me after I knocked him out? I didn't expect you to be such a strange character, Sonoko."

"Anyway, the other party's expertise seems to be psychological. I'll take care of that."

Sighing, Shokuhou-senpai felt that her junior's thoughts were becoming more and more unpredictable.

After calming down a certain bun-haired girl who was ready to make trouble, Shokuhou-senpai had no intention of letting others deal with issues within the faction. This was her job as the queen of the faction.

And she also needs to find an opportunity to have a good talk with Fanfeng.

If the other party took the initiative to come to her and explain the situation, maybe she could just leave it alone. But the more Fanfeng wanted to solve the problem by himself, the more she started to worry.

Chapter 440: Half Completed

In fact, Shokuhou-senpai was almost certain that her tsundere and stubborn companion had no intention of coming to her for help.

Just as she rarely interferes in the affairs of the faction, the faction members rarely bother the Queen with their own affairs, and the two sides maintain a strange balance.

If everyone could rely on her more like Natsume-san, then she wouldn't have to be torn because of worrying about the other person's feelings.

"How could I not know what Fanfeng is thinking? But this is what bothers me."

"And that washboard with muscle brain, how can such a guy compare to my sailing wind. I really don't know what he thinks about all day long."

Muttering to herself a little irritably, Shokuhou-senpai reluctantly put down her phone.

She knew not only about Miss Ghost, but also about Junko Hokaze's attempt to bring her and Misaka Mikoto together.

Since he felt that there was no power to protect me, he took the initiative to look for a stronger power that could protect me, and ended up setting his sights on Misaka Mikoto.

It's really laughable. When did the fifth-ranked person in Academy City become so fragile that he needs protection from others?

She, Shokuhou Misaki, will find time to take revenge on those who made decisions without her consent, those who secretly said that she was cuter because she had gained some weight, and those who acted clumsily during the night raid last night.

By the way, I’ll punish Fanfeng by making him eat a hundred super spicy and numb puffs. But before that, I have to hide all the water and drinks in the pie.

Just like her own junior schoolmate with a bun-like head, Shokuhou-senpai also cherishes other people's kindness very much, so she often pretends to know nothing.

'The best actress in Academy City' Shokuhou Misaki looked at the blue sky outside the window with complicated thoughts. She originally just wanted to be an idol, but her strength did not allow it.

The more she knows, the more she needs to pretend to be ignorant, so that she can protect the place where she lives and maintain the fragile social circle of people with psychological control abilities.

But pretending to be confused doesn't mean being really confused. Shokuhou-senpai's little tricks are also very cute.

If the mountain doesn't come towards me, I will walk towards the mountain.

Driving the white cylinder up the steep slope at a sixty-degree angle, Natsume's vision suddenly became clear, and then he hurriedly turned away before almost hitting a passerby.

I have to say that the recognition performance of the cleaning robot is so excellent that Natsume doesn't need to worry about it at all.

Only in this way can Tsuchimikado-san give me the title of the best means of transportation in Academy City.

"By the way, Misaka-senpai's formula is really easy to understand. It is an efficient version that has been simplified many times."

Sitting on the cleaning robot, Natsume felt traces of electric current on his hands, and the beeping sound kept coming.

As these electric currents flowed in an orderly manner in a specific direction, some magnetic fields unconsciously appeared on Natsume's fair palms.

I just slightly modified a few basic electric current formulas I got from my senior, and tried to use the perspective of the microscopic world to replace some of the ability interference differences caused by personal reality.

After reducing the efficiency of some of the formulas, the electric current formula that she could use safely was almost complete.

Chapter 441: Date

At first, she just wanted to get some knowledge about electromagnetic barriers from her senior, but what she gained later was beyond Natsume Sonoko's expectations.

From the basic electric current formula to the method of creating a magnetic field, Senior Misaka explained it carelessly for most of the day, and then earnestly warned her junior to pay attention to safety and not to easily try unfamiliar derivative abilities.

However, due to some reasons that were inconvenient for her to tell others, the girl with the ball head did not shrink back like she had done before when she was exposed to high-risk derivative abilities. Instead, she quickly mastered the basics, which was of great help to her in perfecting the electromagnetic barrier.

“So we’re already here.”

When he came to his senses, Natsume found himself in a bustling downtown area.

The closer you get to the building without doors and windows, the busier it becomes. There are no schools around here, only a large number of shopping streets and office buildings. Even the number of adults is more than in other places.

The cleaning robot is spinning in circles and seems to have encountered some problems.

The pseudo-ghost girl, who was thinking about something important, looked up and found that the road ahead was already occupied by a crowded crowd. Even an advanced robot with automatic path-finding function would probably not be able to pass through such a dense flow of people.

At this time, the electric current raging in Natsume Sonoko's body also calmed down, preventing accidental injury to innocent onlookers.

"He must be a fanatic fan, to do something so horrible."

“I didn’t expect that the person who was attacked would be Alyssa.”

“Alyssa, is that the singer who has become famous recently?”

There were some obvious discussions in the crowd. What was happening here had attracted quite a few people who loved to join in the fun.

Walking through the crowd, you can find a familiar discipline committee lady who is firmly suppressing a teenager with an excited face and red pupils. Next to her are some scattered records and overturned speakers. The pink-haired girl wearing a white newsboy cap is obviously a little dazed because of the sudden incident.

Speaking of which, this was not the first time that Minghu Alyssa had encountered an emergency, so she was not too panicked. It was just the first time that she encountered an incident while performing on the street.

But just like usual, apart from knocking over some things, no one around was injured without exception. It has to be said that this was another miracle of some magnitude.

"Shirai-san, are you okay?"

Looking at a certain discipline committee member who was hit by the materialized sound waves of the ability user but only fell down in the end, Minghu Arisa asked with some concern.

She knew this discipline committee member, a friend of Misaka-san and Natsume-san, but she didn't expect him to show up so soon.

As soon as the attacker, who was suspected to be a fanatical fan, appeared, Shirai Kuroko seemed to have been lying in ambush and appeared here precisely.

"I am fine."

"Behave yourself, you criminal."

Shirai Kuroko, who was a little dusty after falling, smiled like a lady. Even though she looked a little embarrassed now, she couldn't lose her elegance and grace.

As he spoke, he used both hands to press down the opponent's struggling arms. Some common techniques used by the Discipline Committee members were very suitable for the opponent who had already surrendered.

"Sure enough, he also had Indian poker on him."

Shirai Kuroko suddenly thought of something, and she touched the other person's pocket lightly with her hands, and a few poker cards with strange glow appeared in her hands.

"Is this the kind of thing that caused the chaos?"

Frowning slightly, Minghu Alyssa didn't quite understand what Shirai-san meant, but she could guess the general meaning.

She had also heard of this kind of card, but her mind was on music and she had no interest in making wishes come true through dreams.

"There is no substantial evidence to prove this, but there have been some unusual cases recently, which may be related to Indian Poker."

The words were a bit vague as Shirai Kuroko didn't want to reveal too much information to irrelevant people.

In fact, she didn't know much, and most of it was learned from the older unmarried female teacher who had been hanging out in the Discipline Committee Branch 177 a few days ago.

"I see, but are you nearby, Shirai-san?"

After coming back to her senses, Senior Sister Minghu asked in some surprise. She felt that the other party came too fast from the beginning.

Although the Discipline Committee members often appear at places where incidents occur, it is still a bit surprising that they appear as soon as the case happens.

"It's just a coincidence, don't take it to heart."

A smirk suddenly appeared on his face, and Shirai waved his hands hesitantly.

However, when Shirai Kuroko tried to end the topic, an uninvited guest stood among the crowd and walked into the accident area with the discipline committee armband on his arm.

One good thing about being a discipline committee member is that after an incident occurs, they will not be treated as irrelevant persons and blocked from entering.

Of course, this does not apply to certain security teachers who are very strict with rules.

"Namigo-senpai."

Without even looking at the dusty Shirai Kuroko standing aside, a girl with a bun on her head was smilingly greeting Naruto and Alyssa.

Come to think of it, apart from the last time I saw her at the night parade of the Daihastari Festival, I haven't had any chance to see this senior who loves to perform everywhere.

Out of love for this senior, Natsume Sonoko, who never chases stars, even changed her cell phone ringtone to Alyssa's new song.

"It's Natsume."

With the corners of her mouth raised, Senior Minghu revealed a beautiful smile, and she also had a great liking for this junior.
