Temperature Control in Academy City

Since there is a possibility of being controlled, Natsume also needs to consider the feelings of these seniors and classmates.

Chapter 456: Miss Greenhouse

Try to consider other people's feelings and use a gentler way to end the battle, which will inevitably increase the difficulty of the battle for Natsume.

Even Natsume has become a little nervous under so many constraints. After all, the dominance of people with super powers often lies in their high destructiveness and unstoppable nature.

Fortunately, Natsume also has a good advantage.

That is to understand the types of abilities and ways of releasing the girls of the same grade as her. This also allows Natsume to limit or hinder the other party's use of abilities through relatively simple methods.

As for the senior students who have a lower level of intelligence gathering and whom Natsume hardly knows, even the gentlest means are bound to lead to some accidents.

It is entirely possible that a person with great abilities who does not understand the details may break through some of his own limitations, so some extraordinary measures must be considered.

Once these seniors use abilities that can threaten themselves or others, Natsume will definitely change his attitude and suppress them immediately to prevent their abilities from getting out of control or hurting others due to emotional excitement.

In other words, Natsume's gentleness is a more flexible kind of gentleness, not an absolute mercy.

Natsume, the vicious psychic, has roughly formulated a response strategy, reserving the possibility of striking hard at senior students who pose a higher threat, and showing mercy to classmates who pose no threat to him.

As for the archery master who called herself a hunter and held a dangerous 'hunting bow', Natsume treated her as an object that needed to be controlled and dealt with quickly.

"When faced with prey of varying sizes, a single hunter becomes powerless, so the simplest solution is to set traps and call on companions."

"But even with so many companions with special abilities behind me, I still couldn't get rid of the strong pressure that made it difficult to breathe. I knew that as long as there were special abilities that I couldn't deal with immediately, the little resistance that remained would have the potential to defeat all my arrangements."

"But none of that matters now. Are you ready to be hunted by the unattainable sacred being in this city?"

He raised his head suddenly. The arm holding the hunting bow was still shaking slightly. There was some excitement in his tone, and the blood in his body seemed to be boiling.

After all, she and her sister are the same kind of people, and this has nothing to do with their abilities.

Even in the face of a huge gap, in the end there was no thought of retreating or escaping, but instead he chose to face the situation that was gradually getting out of his control.

This was not the paranoid emotion caused by Indian Poker, but the hunting instinct that had always been hidden deep in the blood, which finally broke out when facing strong pressure.

"I've already told you that villains should be very frugal with words. Senior, have you really never read the comics?"

"You know, this is the best time for our righteous friends to kill with one strike. And you know, I'm still angry now, so don't say something that makes people angry for no reason."

A girl with a bun-like hair who was in a hurry to go to the infirmary responded quickly. She didn't want to continue wasting precious treatment time here.

You have to know that her eyes are getting more and more painful, and she is still shedding tears. Natsume is worried that if she delays for too long, it might affect her eyesight.

This is somewhat contrary to the tactical plan of treating classmates as gently as possible, but there is no solution that can have the best of both worlds.

As soon as the words fell, the battle seemed to be about to break out.

Natsume has already caught the movements of the girls from Tokiwadai around him, and knows what is going to happen in the next second.

In an instant, a variety of abilities that coordinated with the chaos but stimulated the proximity of time began to appear, and the surroundings immediately became chaotic.

The user of telekinetic ability, who already had practical use, suddenly rolled up the desk in front of Natsume, messing up the things that a certain bun-haired girl had stuffed inside.

At the same time, a muscular girl with a body enhancement system, her skirt fluttering and her rosy skin showing her increased strength, rushed forward and went straight to confront a girl with a bun who was standing still, but ended up blocking the control route of the telekinetic user.

This chaotic use of abilities made Natsume speechless. They looked like a complete mob with no coordination.

It seemed that I had made a wrong assessment due to the excellent performance of Archery Iruka-senpai. In fact, the time required to end the battle might be less than I thought.

The hunter and her companions are actually a bunch of hothouse girls. Their level of cooperation is simply too poor. Natsume, who was a little confused, still managed to concentrate and couldn't help but comment on his classmates.

She couldn't even use her abilities in sequence, so what was the point of attacking all at once? It wasn't like she was bombarding the ground with missiles, so she didn't need a saturation attack. She wasn't a big, strong person, so she could only attack a few suitable points in one round.

Moreover, during the battle, they didn't know how to separate and move. Didn't they know that their opponent was an extremely powerful person with super powers?

From this point of view, being short and skinny seems to have some combat advantages, at least it passively reduces the range of attack. However, Natsume just can't be happy, she would rather not have this combat advantage.

The cooperation between him and Accelerator before was much better than this, although Natsume's understanding of cooperation was that each of them fought each other and then successfully achieved the goal.

Now we can completely reduce some concerns, and defeating them one by one is the most effective way.

The materialized fist instantly hit Natsume's body, and was accompanied by the laser beam fired by the archery senior sister not far away. However, after the hit, only a burst of illusory broken light and shadow was left on the spot, and Natsume's cute face could still be vaguely seen.

In fact, Natsume had no intention of moving the battlefield. He just used light to create a fake body of himself and tried to set a trap to capture the person with special abilities.

Senior Archer Iruka said she wanted to hunt him, but Natsume thought it should be the other way around. If she hadn't been caught off guard and blinded by the strong light, causing her condition to be very bad, Natsume felt that she wouldn't have to go through so much trouble.

And just relying on this trick of changing the angle of light over a large range is enough to deal with most people with special abilities.

However, what surprised Natsume was that she originally thought that this archery senior might be able to see some problems with the light. After all, she guessed that the other party's ability might be to control light.

But it seems that the other party has not developed the ability to refract or reflect light, or she cannot control the light in the natural space, but needs the help of specific props.

At this moment, the person with the ability who hit Natsume's body immediately encountered some unexpected events.

At the place where Natsume's body was hit, a high-speed air flow suddenly appeared and firmly sucked the entire arm into it. Soon, the arm was suspended in the air by this air flow.

As long as those with the ability to strengthen their bodies cannot touch the ground, they will have no place to borrow strength.

Chapter 456 Half Belief

There are many factors that determine victory or defeat, but mastering overwhelming power is definitely a crucial one.

Maintaining an almost overwhelming momentum, Natsume, hidden under the light, began to gradually clear out the Tokiwadai girls who were in an abnormal state.

After deciding on the response tactics, Natsume's actions became extremely decisive, and his strong execution ability broke out at this time, and he could even handle battles in multiple locations at the same time.

Taking a slight step forward, the nimble Natsume dodged the telekinetic desk that was so close to him.

For a telekinetic user who cannot find his position, he is simply a decoration without any threat. Or in other words, the girls in front of him do not have the ability to resist Natsume-san.

Even so, Natsume will still keep a certain distance from everyone to prevent any unexpected situations from occurring.

Because he had just been severely frightened, Natsume became more cautious and spared no effort in terms of his own safety.

A white arm subconsciously raised up, facing the girls in front of Natsume. Then the moisture in the air began to change rapidly, and a noticeable low temperature began to appear around everyone.

In the blink of an eye, a thin layer of ice appeared under the feet of several girls. The biting cold kept climbing up their calves, blocking most of the ground in the classroom and even the corridor for a short time.

"I'm stuck with ice."

A girl from Tokiwadai noticed the change in the ground and immediately tried to pull her feet out from under the ice.

However, she was obviously a step too slow. The solid layer of ice that stuck to her leather shoes was difficult to break free of in an instant, and had even wrapped around her ankles. A bone-chilling breath instantly rushed straight into her body.

"Step back quickly."

Reacting immediately, another girl with twin ponytails grabbed her teammate next to her who had not been affected yet, and the two of them hurriedly retreated into the distance.

But just as she stepped back, she realized that she had missed a step. Two people fell down the stairs one after another, and were then wrapped by a soft airflow, making their bodies unable to move.

Gradually dealing with the situation around her, Natsume finally had a general grasp of the chaotic situation. She was using the gentlest means possible to deal with the fights and frictions between students.

And she would not choose to resist the attack of the ability user head-on, that was Accelerator's specialty. As long as she played to her own unique advantages, she could quickly calm the situation.

With such a huge range of interference, Natsume seems to be surrounded, but in fact she is surrounding everyone.

"Senior."

"I'm very curious now, what exactly do you want to do? If you just want to attack me, you would have succeeded when you set the trap just now."

After successfully dragging senior sister Yujian Rulu into the low-oxygen environment, looking at a senior sister who was gradually gasping for breath, the voice of a certain bun-haired girl appeared again.

"But the senior must be controlled, so she has no choice."

“I can relate to that.”

Shaking her head, the girl with a bun-haired hairstyle muttered softly that she still believed in her own judgment.

Chapter 457 Chaos

Twelve years old, with a unique perspective on school fights.

Natsume, who encountered this kind of problem for the first time in school, was just as quick in taking action, which fully demonstrated the subjective initiative of a person with super powers.

Anyway, when his surging computing power gradually calmed down, the guy with a bun restrained his exaggerated arm movements, and everything seemed to have returned to the original quiet and peaceful learning environment.

This teaching building, which represents the advanced educational power of Tokiwadai, has a floor whose originally smooth and clean floor is densely covered with small potholes. A large amount of broken glass is scattered near the corridor. In Natsume's classroom, only the water dispenser next to the podium remains structurally intact.

If we take into account the mess of tables, chairs, benches and various teaching facilities in the classroom, then this classroom will have to be suspended for at least several days.

However, Natsume will not be coming here for classes for the next week, and as a victim of the incident, she does not need to worry about the troublesome aftermath, so the impact on her is not that great.

When I think about how the school handles such vicious incidents, my classmates who participated in fights and may be controlled will face a series of investigations and restrictions.

Shaking her still confused head, Natsume didn't want to comment too much on this. She just felt very tired.

Even though the intense stimulation in her eyes had gradually lessened over time, her vision had not recovered, and when she opened her eyes, everything was gray.

"Speaking of which, given the huge commotion in the teaching building, why was the school's response so slow?"

There was a hint of confusion on his face, but Natsume knew very well how stubborn his school was in certain aspects.

The human and material resources invested in security are top-notch in the school. Even the student dormitories outside are filled with security robots. However, the speed of action this time is a little too slow.

According to what Natsume knows, once a vicious incident such as a fight occurs in school, the school council will dispatch a special security team to deal with it. Even some of the teachers in the school are regular members of the security system.

"Then there are only two possibilities. Either this action was tacitly approved by the school, or someone has tied up the school's security forces."

Natsume, who rubbed his eyes and had tears falling, immediately ruled out the first guess.

The people on the school board looked old-fashioned, but they were not prone to self-destruction. After all, they were the school's board members, so they must have known the impact of such an incident on Tokiwadai.

Although Natsume Sonoko is just an ordinary student, she carries the title of a person with super powers. She is a top student that her school cannot give up, and she is also a huge support for steadily increasing the school's income and influence.

The school itself can barely protect itself, let alone do something this horrible.

This can be seen from the fact that right after I was promoted to a super-powered person, the school chairman hurriedly signed a bunch of agreements with me. Those guys in the school board of directors value me very much.

Even if one day, Natsume accidentally did something that violated the superficial rules of Academy City, she felt that her school would do its best to protect her, unless there was some force that was really impossible to resist and launched a dimensionality reduction attack.

Her troublesome senior Misaka demolished so many laboratories, damaged so much public property, and caused traffic jams and large-scale power outages many times, but she is still safe and sound until now. It is definitely impossible that the school did not contribute.

Even Natsume's ability to become a person with super powers was inseparable from the help of the interest groups behind the private Tokiwadai School.

These interest groups may be the vested interests of Tokiwadai Junior High School, technology or pharmaceutical companies that cooperate with the school, or simply the parents of the students.

Stepping on the ground covered with broken glass, Natsume fumbled to pick up his schoolbag and textbooks, and reached out to brush off the dust on them. He still felt it was very inconvenient without eyesight.

Fortunately, everyone had a tacit understanding when fighting, and no one would deliberately step on these important props that carry knowledge. They still maintained awe of knowledge, otherwise there would be a few more footprints on Natsume's textbooks.

Around them were the Tokiwadai girls whose movements were restricted in various ways, staring with wide eyes at the only girl in the field who could move freely.

Even senior Yujian Iruka was trapped in the corner of the classroom at this time. The girl in the severe oxygen-deficient environment seemed to have some altitude sickness. When the brain was not supplied with enough oxygen, it could not release the supply capacity normally.

In fact, for people who exercise regularly or are obese, when the surrounding oxygen environment suddenly decreases, the situation is often much more serious than that of an ordinary skinny girl.

The laser pen carried by Yujian Iruka was knocked to the ground, and there was an unused military flashlight placed in the lining of the Kyudo uniform, but it lost its function because it could not lock onto the opponent.

Only by avoiding direct confrontation can Natsume-san's fighting power be fully demonstrated. Even if the opponent is exhausted, he may not be able to lock on to Natsume-san's position.

“So that’s what happened.”

With his head full of confusion about the current situation, Natsume is eager to figure out the current situation of the school.

After temporarily dealing with the attack in front of him, Natsume thought for a moment and then released his perception, allowing his perception to cover the entire Tokiwadai Middle School. The noises happening everywhere began to fill Natsume's mind.

This ability to sense every detail consumes a lot of Natsume's energy, but after blurring and selectively ignoring, only the part that Natsume wants to know will be analyzed by computing power into understandable information.

Suddenly, he sensed a display screen standing at the entrance of the teaching building, which was playing a notification message about a temporary inspection of the teaching building's circuits. Natsume probably understood why no students had approached for so long.

Because there have been many incidents of unprovoked power outages or voltage instability, the school occasionally inspects circuits and transformers in various locations after normal teaching activities are completed.

Natsume, who left a little later, was almost the last person left in the teaching building. It was already after afternoon classes, and most students should go to participate in club activities.

However, this does not seem to be the main reason why there are few people in the teaching building. Natsume discovered that many people seemed to be attracted by other things, which led to their failure to pay attention to the teaching building.

"I wasn't the only one who was attacked."

Natsume-san reacted immediately after noticing the commotion in the gymnasium and the faction building.

At this time, the Shokuhou faction members who were locked in the gymnasium were trying to break the window, but they were trapped and unable to leave quickly.

Inside the faction building, several Tokiwadai girls who have fallen into abnormality are fighting with the remaining Shokuhou faction. A purple-haired girl named Hokaze Junko, holding the unconscious queen in her arms, is fighting against multiple people with special abilities.

Of course, there are also the security personnel sent by the school, who seem to be caught up in a weird internal struggle.

In short, Tokiwadai seemed to be in complete chaos.
