Temperature Control in Academy City
Page 268
Obvious fist marks appeared on the wall in the middle of the faction building, and a hardwood classroom door was kicked apart. These were the aftermath of a certain young lady's ability that was accidentally caused.
The purple-haired girl with princess curls, who was holding Shokuhou-senpai in one hand and waving her fist with the other, had a passion for destruction on her face, and she seemed to be venting her inner dissatisfaction and impulse with all her strength.
Chapter 460: Emotions
Including restricting the activities of discipline committee members and increasing the number of security robots in public places, Academy City has intentionally or unintentionally introduced a series of rules to restrain and control the behavior of people with special abilities.
Ultimately, these actions also have the consideration of weakening the actual combat capabilities of those with special abilities, which can reduce their potential desire to fight.
But even so, people with special abilities who can fight can still be found everywhere in Academy City.
Not to mention that several representative people with super powers are professionals in fighting, even in Tokiwa Taichung, where young ladies are everywhere, there are many students who can fight in a very professional manner.
One of the leaders of the attackers stood out from the crowd, and her face was obviously a little uneasy. Just now, she had lost the feedback from the bow and arrow entering the deer, so she might face a strong counterattack from another superpower.
As a good friend of Yujian Iruka, she was very clear about his abilities, but she completely lost news from that side shortly after the plan began, which also meant that their plan to contain the eighth person was likely to have run into problems.
As long as it was a plan, there was no way that it would definitely succeed. She knew very well how risky it was to face two people with super powers at the same time.
She kept a respectful distance from both the fifth and the newly promoted eighth, but this time she took the risk and was determined to completely anger both of them, just because she had reasons to do so.
"After this, there is no place for me in Tokiwadai anymore. Neither the members of the Shokuhou faction nor the followers of the Eighth Place will allow me to stay here any longer."
"But for my brother, it's all worth it."
Take a deep breath so that you can devote yourself wholeheartedly to the next battle.
The third-year junior high school girl named Hojo Ayane suppressed her emotions and tried her best to look calm.
The next moment, she stepped hard on the floor with her left leg. The force generated made her shoes creak. Along with a huge thrust, she began to face the man in a frenzy right in front of her.
She had to kidnap Shokuhou Misaki before possible reinforcements arrived and complete that person's order. Although Hojo Ayane didn't know what the feud between that person and Shokuhou Misaki was, it had nothing to do with her. It was just a mission and a transaction.
Whether it was the unknown eighth person or the school security forces, neither he nor the young ladies around him who were bewitched by Indian Poker could fight against them.
It is not clear whether the condition of the eighth person has reached the expected level. However, judging by normal thinking, as long as the eighth person loses his eyesight temporarily as planned, even a super-powered person will fall into a state of perceptual fog.
And this foggy state might be enough to support me in completing this kidnapping operation.
"What a heavy fist."
"The power has increased so much."
At the moment of the collision, a dazed look unconsciously appeared on Hojo Ayane's face, and her body was thrown out. Her wrist began to bend unnaturally due to the impact of the force, and she finally managed to stabilize her body.
At the same time, she felt a strong sense of oppression.
Under the ordinary Tokiwadai school uniform, he was wearing a physical enhancement item similar to the one used by Komaba Reito before, but it was not the outdated version with great side effects like the other one, but a new version that had been specially improved.
However, although it is a modified clockwork bandage, the huge squeezing feeling is still impacting the bones and muscles of the body. This is the price of gaining physical strength far beyond that of ordinary people.
Only in this way can a low-level ability user like her be sure to fight against a superior.
However, no matter how strong the opponent is, people with physical enhancement abilities have too obvious weaknesses. The simplest way is to get the opponent off the ground.
An elephant on land, a shark in the sea, is nothing if removed from the environment that gives it its power.
Of course, this does not apply to those who can step on their right foot with their left foot and fly into the sky.
"Hey, it would be rude to be distracted during a battle."
Across from them, Hokaze Junko frowned. She had almost cleared a way out. Now all she had to do was suppress all the attackers in one fell swoop and lead everyone out of the faction building first.
But in just a moment, Fanfeng Runzi's body fell forward uncontrollably with a look of surprise on her face.
The forward force that was originally concentrated on the feet now produced a headache-inducing inertia, and the whole person fell to the ground unexpectedly.
Falling on flat ground is too outrageous. This is not a comic book plot.
“The coefficient of friction is changed.”
"Among the attackers, there is someone with the ability to change the coefficient of friction."
An idea immediately popped up in Fanfeng Junzi's mind, but her body involuntarily hugged the Queen tightly, allowing herself to turn sideways to bear the impact of the fall.
Looking at the Queen's safe and sound profile, Fanfeng Runzi felt relieved for a moment, but then she felt nervous again. She was still too careless.
Although he dispersed the attackers, he also found himself in another kind of encirclement.
"Xiaorun, they are so cunning."
"I've waited until now to use this ability."
The extremely angry Miss Ghost appeared above Fanfeng Runzi's head again. Her face was immediately puffed up with dissatisfaction, and she looked at the situation in front of her anxiously.
It was clear that we were about to see Xiaorun slaughtering everyone and venting his destructive impulses, but in the end, the plan was ruined by someone.
I wanted to try to control the attacker from the opposite side, but it was not as simple and convenient as invading Xiaorun. Instead, I encountered obstacles immediately.
Miss Ghost wasn't quite sure what factors determined the difficulty of her invasion, but it was apparently rare for someone like Xiaorun to have a certain bully blonde girl go in and out of his head all year round.
"Head hurts."
Shokuhou-senpai, who was disturbed by the series of big movements, also regained some consciousness. In simple terms, she was shaken awake. However, she was still confused because she had read the memory that could cause mental pollution.
"Queen, are you okay?"
Senior Sister Fanfeng, who was temporarily unable to gain support, lay on the ground on her side. She couldn't help but glance at the Queen who was mumbling in her arms.
"Coming, in the back."
Hojo Cailing, who was standing not far away, suddenly had a frosty expression. She controlled her left leg and swept it backwards with force, and a group of violent air currents were dispersed by one kick.
She felt the dissatisfaction and hostility lingering around when the other party chose to take action.
She can sense the other person's emotions, but she cannot capture the timing and means of the other person's attack.
After barely noticing the abnormality in the air behind him, he responded instantly with his superhuman reaction speed.
But what surprised her was that what was originally just a subconscious self-defense action actually worked.
Chapter 461: Same as Misaka-san
Just as reliable as ability is the instinct rooted in the body, which is something lacking in some guys who rely too much on ability.
For example, a typical student with a bun-like haircut, facing a similar attack, would not be able to react relying on his body's instinct. The most likely thing is that his body would only realize what happened after being knocked down.
With a slightly raised eyebrow, Natsume observed a senior from junior high school who easily dodged his attack, and a thoughtful expression immediately appeared on his face.
From the information returned by Natsume's perception, the other person's blue hair was very eye-catching, and even his pupils were a rare bright red. Such rare features stood out very much in the school, and even Natsume had a vague impression of them.
"I remember that the other party seemed to be a third-year technical exchange student."
"To some extent, this senior student is not considered a student admitted through the normal admission channel of Tokiwadai."
Natsume tilted her head slightly, and the bun on her head swayed with her movements. She always knew some gossip in the school.
Among the first-year students at Tokiwadai, she was a very popular beautiful girl with a network of contacts comparable to that of the Shokuhou faction. Chatting about all kinds of gossip and rumors with her classmates had gradually become a part of her daily life.
I don't know when this habit started, but I was probably very interested in the love-hate relationship between the two senior sisters with super powers at the beginning, and now it has evolved into an important topic of conversation after dinner.
Gossiping in school is like having a tea party or drinking afternoon tea, but Natsume prefers to save time and usually finishes the gossip in class.
However, she couldn't remember the name of this third-year senior, after all, she only had a vague impression of her. But that pair of special red eyes should be the only one in Tokiwadai Middle School.
Having said that, Tokiwadai only accepts students with strong abilities or above. This condition has always been a hard and fast requirement of the school, with almost no room for negotiation.
However, among the group of students who are normally enrolled in Tokiwadai, there is also a special group of people, that is, students who are on exchange from other schools.
Usually, some non-staff students are recruited from other schools under the pretext of technology exchange, joint training, rare abilities, etc. These students are also required to reach the level of strong abilities, which is lv3.
The so-called technical exchange students at Tokiwadai Junior High School are a name for students who make up for their insufficient ability levels through technical means and ability application.
Even though his basic ability data does not reach the level of a person with strong abilities as considered by Academy City, in the evaluation system of Tokiwadai Junior High School, his actual ability application is already at the level of a person with strong abilities.
However, this kind of exchange is almost always one-way, only from other schools to Tokiwadai Junior High School, and rarely from Tokiwadai Junior High School to other schools. In any case, Natsume has not heard of it yet.
“It’s a bit strange.”
There was some hesitation in Natsume's brows, and she vaguely felt that something was wrong.
Although she was very proud of her invisibility ability, and so far she had only encountered someone with the ability of the AIM system who could see through it directly, the reaction speed of the senior student not far away was still somewhat unexpected.
Even if it can be attributed to the fact that people's physical constitutions cannot be generalized, the time from Natsume-san launching the attack to the opponent's reaction is really too short, as if it could be predicted in advance.
"But even if it was predicted, it wouldn't have much impact on me."
After gathering his messy thoughts, Natsume still maintained a strong sense of confidence in himself, as if he was not the one who was attacked just now.
For a certain girl with a bun, she doesn't care about the title of a superpower, but only cares about whether she has the ability to solve the problem. And the current situation, except for being caught off guard at the beginning, is actually still in Natsume's comfort zone.
Inside the faction building.
After the attacking girls changed the friction coefficient of the floor, Hokaze Junko's offensive was instantly reversed, and the pressure was back on the Shokuhou faction.
The attacker girls who were originally repelled by Hokaze Junko gathered together again at this time and surrounded the remaining members of the Shokuhou faction.
Even though the princess-curled girl's fighting style was very violent and heroic, the damage she caused was not serious. The girls were not beaten black and blue, but they did suffer some injuries. To some extent, Senior Fanfeng was quite restrained.
Only when she noticed the hostility lingering around her did she realize that the situation was about to collapse quickly. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart. With just a slight contact, she knew that the guy around her was most likely the eighth in the school.
This was not a guess or intuition, but something obvious. In Tokiwadai Middle School, the one who was most skilled in controlling the atmosphere was not an aerodynamicist like Photon after marriage, but a certain harmless temperature controller.
If you only infer the other party's ability based on the four words "temperature control", then the conclusion you reach will definitely be extremely biased.
Although Natsume-san is not very active in school and there is only some specious information on the Internet, the most credible source of information about his abilities so far is probably the mid-air brawl with Accelerator during the summer vacation.
It was after that fight that the eighth was officially recognized by the Unified Council, so many people believed that the intelligence was valid, and the intelligence that was passed on all pointed to the other party being a person with special abilities that specialized in atmosphere control.
It's just that a certain girl with a bun hairstyle has remained silent when faced with such rumors, pretending to be stupid and trying to get away with it, and has remained extremely resistant to such rumors.
It's so infuriating. Why do they keep spreading rumors about her fighting with others on the streets? She is obviously just a gentle and elegant young lady.
When Natsume thought of all the disgusting rumors on the Internet, such as the fact that the eighth person had violent tendencies, a twisted personality, and poor development, he had an urge to simply destroy the world.
Fortunately, Natsume has always been rational and knows how to look at problems and things from a dialectical perspective in an all-round, multi-angle and hierarchical manner, which is why he did not fall into the dark abyss of the city.
However, just as Hojo Cailing was immersed in the news that the eighth person was right beside her, a thin layer of electrons appeared on Hokaze Junko's body surface again. This was a by-product emitted when controlling the cell's current signal.
Under the high-intensity use of Fanfeng Junko's abilities, the originally intact Tokiwadai school uniform was gradually affected by the extreme high temperatures occasionally formed by surface electrons due to various factors, and obvious holes were formed after burning. Fortunately, they were all girls, so it was no big deal.
Thanks to Hokaze Junko's deliberate protection, the burning did not spread to Shokuhou Misaki's body.
"It's too early for you to defeat me like this."
With a look of determination on her face, Hofeng Runzi gritted her teeth and slowly stood up, seemingly ignoring the sudden loss of the coefficient of friction.
The blood vessels in her brain began to tighten, and even with the help of Miss Ghost, she seemed to be under a lot of pressure. The clothes that were overflowing from her body and the steel bars buried under the floor attracted each other, and the magnetic force generated firmly fixed her legs to the floor.
When Misaka was explaining electromagnetism to Natsume, she also listened carefully. Don't underestimate her learning ability.
Although she is considered by many to be a physical enhancement type, in fact, the nature of her abilities is the same as Misaka's. She is also an electromagnetic ability user, but she is not focused on developing this aspect.
Chapter 462: Full of Protection
Fanfeng Runzi stood up and looked stubbornly at the attackers who were gradually approaching her.
Even if the effect similar to that of a magnet is achieved with the help of the dissipated cellular current, the computing power consumed is far beyond the normal capacity.
At this time, the key is to quickly escape from the area where the friction coefficient has been changed.
However, what made Fanfeng Runzi a little hesitant was that she couldn't tell which attacker was the original owner of this ability. Otherwise, even if she left the area, she would fall into crisis again.
The members of the Shokuhou faction next to him were also almost at their limit. Most of them were not good at fighting, and it didn't take long for them to be forced into a narrow corner by the attackers who had an absolute advantage in numbers. However, due to the intervention of a person with psychic powers, the situation did not collapse to the extreme.
"There are too many people who need to be restricted, and we also have to consider the situation of the Shokuhou faction."
"If we all use optical illusions or change the environment to divide and defeat the enemy, the biggest possibility is that it will cause unpredictable chaos and accidental injuries. After all, everyone's emotions and thoughts are very abnormal right now, and they will release their abilities recklessly."
“Unless it is possible to restrict everyone at once, any moderate move will cause foreseeable trouble and delay.”
Not far away, Natsume had a helpless look on her face, and she also noticed some difficulties.
Because the number of people who needed to be controlled increased significantly, it was impossible to accurately control everyone's actions as before. This was what Natsume was most hesitant about. She was still thinking about how to end the fight peacefully, and she was very troubled by observing the students fighting.
In fact, it is most convenient to use atomic destruction and air pressure cannon to clear the field, and don’t worry too much about the accuracy. It is undoubtedly suitable for dealing with people with weak abilities.
But Natsume-san naturally couldn't do that. She had never killed a chicken since she was a child. She was a typical hothouse girl. A certain bun-haired girl would only use this kind of high-damage move against guys who were at the same level or more powerful than her.
As for a certain girl with a bun on her head, she has never appeared or been killed, because the characteristics of her ability never require her to engage in close combat, or even to show up and reveal her identity. It is enough for her to sneak around and shoot arrows.
