Temperature Control in Academy City

The right to speak that a person with super powers should have seems to be completely absent from Natsume.

Therefore, in order to protect students like Natsume who are honest and like to give advice, and to make their thoughts understood by adults, it is definitely necessary to have a strong student union organization. This is also the reason why someone is very keen on the student union election in the future.

Although it was a pre-training for physical examination, the degree of interference in the use of abilities was limited. According to the teacher, it was to improve students' ability in fine manipulation and accuracy. As a result, most of the drills turned into serious physical training, and only a few students could use this level of ability to reduce their own consumption.

Natsume was naturally included in this group of students, but his physical fitness was not up to par and he still maintained his embarrassing grades on a daily basis.

It's a pity that we can't eliminate our opponents like we did in the Daihasheng Festival, otherwise Natsume-san might be able to get a top few places or something.

By the way, Natsume put down his numb arm, opened his school's forum and took a look for a while, and roughly knew what happened in the school.

The students of the Shokuhou faction seem to be tracking a monkey who stole Shokuhou-senpai's expensive bag. Surrounded by a group of people with special abilities, the countdown for the monkey's capture has begun.

Mr. Monkey, who is being hunted by the young ladies, seems to be a pet monkey raised by someone. It's really amazing.

"Do monkeys like shiny things? That would make sense."

Biting his lip, Natsume tried to imagine the course of events, and thought of a blonde girl with sparkling hair all over her body.

However, Natsume does not have a deep understanding of small animals, and there are only a few people in the school who can communicate with animals and focus on learning this kind of knowledge.

As for the fact that some strange animals can sneak into the school garden, which strictly restricts entry to unauthorized persons, Natsume said that he is no longer surprised.

In addition to the experimental animals purchased by the laboratories in the school garden, there is no telling how many pets students secretly keep in their dormitories.

The little Catherine that the senior kept in the dormitory after marriage was a big snake that was much taller than Natsume. It was obviously one of the dangerous animals controlled by the security teachers.

It is clearly not allowed to keep pets in the dormitory. Thinking of this, Natsume couldn't help but sigh.

Thinking of my overly strict dorm warden, perhaps I should have lived in the student dormitory in the school garden from the beginning.

However, if I really lived in the School Garden at that time, I might not have the privilege of having my own dormitory. The internal dormitories of the School Garden are obviously more popular than the external dormitories.

With the entry of two people with super powers into the external dormitory, the popularity has tended to reverse.

Furthermore, due to the successive appearance of three people with super powers within two years, the reputation of Tokiwadai Private School completely overwhelmed all the junior high schools in Academy City, and incidentally increased the value of the Academy Garden.

Then the number of students admitted to Tokiwadai Junior High School in previous years can no longer be used as a reference. The school board will definitely consider expanding the number of admissions, admitting more students based on merit, and then obtaining more social funding.

Even if the third-year seniors graduate and leave next year, Natsume Sonoko will most likely face the situation of sharing a dormitory with others. After all, there are two beds in her dormitory.

As a result, Natsume, whose head is filled with all kinds of burdens, not only can't continue to lie on the sofa comfortably without any worries, but also has to take turns using the bathroom like Misaka-senpai and her roommates in the dormitory, and has to consider other people's feelings every day.

This is something that is difficult for Natsume to accept as she has always lived alone. She has lived alone since elementary school.

“I don’t accept that kind of future.”

Ignoring a certain vicious superpower person who wanted to occupy the dormitory forever, the lively scene outside finally calmed down a little.

Chapter 452: Disappearing for a while

A fully armed modern army cannot deal with a super-powered person, but a monkey can take on the entire Shokuhou faction.

The huge restraining effect between the two characters is enough to achieve a typical effect of the inferior overcoming the superior.

Shokuhou-senpai is unable to cope with the monkey's superhuman agility, and her own abilities are ineffective against animals other than humans, or even machines. Although she seems to have awe-inspiring psychological control, she is actually a relatively easy person to deal with.

In other words, people like Natsume who like to focus their skills on escape and concealment, and who pay attention to protecting their own information and ability intelligence, have fewer obvious weaknesses.

Especially after using the electromagnetic barrier to make up for her biggest weakness, Natsume is able to face most situations in the Academy City. Even if she encounters a weird guy like a magician, she has powerful enough countermeasures.

In other words, the number of compatible abilities that can restrain Natsume-san is becoming increasingly fewer.

Mr. Monkey, who had caused chaos in Tokiwadai, ran past the teaching building chattering.

They kicked over several overflowing trash cans along the way and rushed to the gymnasium, instantly disrupting the club activities there.

Because they were far away from the teaching building, the girl with the bun hair who was sitting on the Diaoyutai felt quiet for a while.

"Excuse me, are you Natsume-san?"

The girl stood in front of the window with her eyes slightly narrowed and a longbow half a person's height on her back. She was wearing a black and white archery uniform with a waist-binding structure and asked inquiringly in her tone.

However, the bangs on the right side of his face were too long, even covering the entire right eye socket, making the facial proportions somewhat disproportionate.

"Hey, it's Archery-senpai."

Suddenly coming to her senses, Natsume noticed that she was being approached again, by a senior whom she knew.

Why do I say again? Maybe it’s because people with super powers are really too popular.

Faced with this kind of social trouble that he has to deal with from time to time, Natsume is still not used to it, but being polite is basic.

By the way, the senior in front of me is the captain of the school's archery club, Yujian Iruka, who has won the championship in various archery competitions many times. I have seen this senior shooting arrows before.

What made Natsume pay more attention to her was that the other person was the younger sister of his Anbu friend, Senior Archer Hunter Tiger.

At the beginning, the relationship between Natsume and Archery Hunter was actually quite ordinary.

For some reason, the senior student had been avoiding him most of the time, which made Natsume feel a little unhappy.

However, after my mother invited the other party to dinner, the two of them developed into a normal friendship and contacted each other on the phone from time to time.

It's just that unlike before when he would send some inexplicable messages to Shigefuku, such as "Have you eaten?", it's just a very ordinary communication. In this way, Natsume-san has also grown.

As for the identity of ANBU, Natsume really hates it from the bottom of her heart. This is directly related to the fact that she has dealt with many incidents related to ANBU.

These guys who are incompatible with the surface world have invaded Natsume's life many times. It would be strange if she could have a good attitude towards them.

But after the identity of Anbu was removed, some people were able to communicate and interact normally. They only joined the Anbu for various reasons. Natsume often thought of taking Archery Hunter Tiger away from the Anbu.

Natsume still has some different opinions about the girl who saved him to some extent, had meals with him several times, and occasionally greeted him in the school garden.

Having said that, apart from the fact that they had not really met each other yet, the two people in the classroom had already known about each other's existence through various channels.

Especially a certain first-year with a great reputation as a new esper, who was already a common knowledge figure in Tokiwadai Junior High School.

"This is Guata's makeup bag. It turns out that senior is also a fan of Guata."

After a slight pause, Natsume saw a small cosmetic bag dangling from the waist of the senior student, hanging on the side of the archery uniform, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

If you want to get closer to someone, you have to start from what the other person is interested in.

However, Natsume obviously did not think that far. He was just sighing at the wide range of Guatai's audience and finding some topics to talk about.

Our own magical girl Kanami still has a long way to go before she can dominate kindergarten, elementary school, and junior high school.

"Yes, and I just won it from a Kyudo competition. It's a very rare limited edition Kwata product."

"Come to think of it, I really did meet an exciting opponent."

Suddenly, she covered her right eye, and a strange blush appeared on Senior Yujian Iruka's face, looking a little strange.

"Is the opponent strong?"

Tilting his head, Natsume-san asked with some concern.

In her mind, this senior student's archery skills were already very good.

“It’s certainly exciting to be able to consider the eighth place as the first opponent.”

Yujian Rulu looked directly at the girl with a bun on her head who hadn't reacted yet, and said expressionlessly.

The next second, several strong flashes of light instantly filled the entire classroom.

However, the biggest light source came from right in front of her, shining directly into Natsume's eyes. This was the reason why she had taken the initiative to talk to the eighth person.

Not long ago, she had carefully investigated the information about the eighth person and set up devices around the classroom that could emit strong light instantly.

She even took advantage of some of the habits of No. 8, such as resting for a while longer in the classroom after physical education class, even though he was not very good in physical fitness.

And at the moment he chose to launch the attack and attack the eighth one, a gorgeous figure appeared in Gongjian Rulu's mind, a real noble lady with purple princess curls.

In the life of the talented workshop, the girl who supported her through the dark times was the object of her admiration.

After using some Indian pokers, the strong emotions in Gongjian Rulu's heart could no longer be suppressed, or she didn't want to suppress them at all.

For the sake of the girl she admires, she is about to carry out a crazy plan to kidnap Shokuhou Misaki.

And the eighth one in front of him had reached a point where he had to be cleared out, hindering the most critical part of the plan.

As long as the eighth person is there, if Shokuhou Misaki is kidnapped, Hokaze will definitely ask him for help.

This was a situation that could be clearly foreseen, and there was a precedent during the Daihasei Festival.

If that were the case, she wouldn't be able to see Fanfeng giving his all. It was ridiculous for Fanfeng to rely on the power of a psychic, since he obviously had that kind of power.

Likewise, she could no longer prove to Fanfeng that she had enough power to protect others, and she could not prove to everyone that the Fanfeng Junzi she admired was a truly strong person.

Therefore, before launching the plan, she had to find a way to deal with the problem of the eighth person, and her companion who was ready to act with her also agreed to this.

After all, they can't avoid the Eighth Place. As long as someone from the Shokuhou faction makes a phone call, the Eighth Place, who is a tool won over and controlled by Shokuhou Misaki, will intervene in the incident. It is better to strike first.

All the rumors in the school about the conflict between the Fifth and Eighth were completely unreliable to Yumen Iruka, who knew the movements of the Shokuhou faction accurately. She could even get first-hand information from Hokaze Junko.

In order to prevent the news from leaking, the operations to kidnap the fifth and deal with the eighth started almost at the same time.

Although it is extremely difficult to deal with two people with super powers at the same time, this plan was a mad move from the very beginning, as it was tantamount to provoking the entire Tokiwadai Junior High School and the member of the governing board behind the school.

The reason why the eighth person was able to take the position so smoothly was because of the support from the member who oversees the board of directors.

"Will it succeed?" Gongjian Rulu couldn't help but think.

These lights are enough to blind a person temporarily, and can even make people who are sensitive to light fall into a coma instantly, but they are far from enough for the eighth person.

This is also the way she chose to deal with Shokuhou Misaki, but the method is slightly different.

However, she once obtained a very important piece of information from the space mover, which was that the eighth person would always try his best to avoid using his abilities in school. As long as he took the opponent by surprise, he could defeat the opponent in an instant in the school.

She didn't want to capture or kidnap the Eighth, she just wanted him to disappear for a while.

Chapter 453: Arrow Shoots into Deer

Even if it is not possible to cause a person to become unconscious through a photosensitive attack, for people with keen senses, this instantaneous high-intensity light stimulation can cause dizziness or even unconsciousness.

The dazzling light flashing around quickly faded with time. After releasing a high load of light in an instant, the machines originally installed around the classroom immediately ran out of energy.

A painful scream instantly resounded throughout the classroom. Caught off guard, the bun-haired girl who was staring directly at the dazzling light suffered severe damage and was even unable to control her vocal cords.

The heat brought by the light is absorbed by the constant temperature layer on the body surface, but the light that penetrates the eyes is unavoidable. It enters the brain through the retinal nerves and affects a large number of photoreceptor cells in the eyes in an instant.

It is no less than being hit by several flash grenades, except that the high-decibel noise that can cause deafening noise is missing. This non-lethal weapon can instantly paralyze resistance.

Even for so-called superpowers, the fragility of the flesh is an irreparable flaw. Even though Natsume Sonoko is slightly better than Shokuhou Misaki in terms of physique, it does not affect her being one of the last few in physical tests. For example, Accelerator's all-round defense is too rare.

Moreover, Natsume has hardly ever been able to prevent this kind of attack. If he could set some settings in the constant temperature layer on his body surface in advance, and automatically activate light refraction once it senses excessive brightness, perhaps he could simulate some of Accelerator's abilities.

The homework in the classroom was scattered all over the floor, and the black backpack was also pushed to the ground in the panic, revealing neatly arranged textbooks and a small pencil case.

Unable to bear the pain, the girl stood there with difficulty, grabbing her desk with one hand and covering her eyes with the other, finally suppressing her wailing.

Natsume's highly developed brain could not have anticipated this attack without warning, nor did he expect the senior schoolmate he had just met to be so decisive. He could only passively accept the move that was enough to kill most people with special abilities. A great feeling of dizziness filled his brain, and the inability to adapt to the blindness caused him to fall into a temporary cognitive impairment.

The two red eyeballs were shedding tears continuously. Due to the overly strong light, the black outline of the pupil was enlarged to the limit, and a large amount of hideous red blood vessels climbed up the white of the eye.

"Do people with super powers wail, too?"

"This fragile look is really sympathetic. After all, he is just a lucky kid."

The moment the dazzling light faded away, a laser pen appeared in Gongjian Rulu's hand, and he attacked the girl with a bun not far away without hesitation.

She can freely control the "waves" of light and sound, but she cannot attack when the light shines, because controlling too much light exceeds her ability limit. Once she inserts herself into it, she will block part of the light that would originally enter the eighth eye socket.

Then, we must try our best to expand our advantage and narrow the huge gap between ourselves and the super-powered people before the other party can react.

Once upon a time, I dreamed of becoming a person with super powers and imagined that kind of future with a few friends, but in the end it was still an unattainable dream.

It had nothing to do with effort or belief, it was something that had been decided from the beginning. As the remnant of the talent room, it was ridiculous to think about how I insisted on developing my abilities despite the serious side effects.

People with talent will be stronger than those without talent, and people with resources can suppress those without resources. This world of people with ability is so blatantly unfair.

The girl in front of her, who was not even as tall as her shoulders, was the one she would always look up to.

In this city where people with super powers exist, other people are as dim as fireflies and can only look up at them from above.

"Everyone wants to become a superpowered person. But I have long lost the qualifications to become one. Now I just want to see what that person looks like. I want others to know how dazzling that person was and how close he was to becoming a superpowered person."

"For this idea, what's wrong with giving up everything?"

Paranoid thoughts kept turning around in her head, and the powerful obsession suppressed her own reason. The girl named Yujian Iruka was not afraid of the powerful and vicious superpower person.
