Temperature Control in Academy City

She was indeed a discipline committee member, not a member of a criminal group who pretended to be one by simply finding a green armband. This was also the main reason why she stepped forward to help.

In fact, she belongs to the 49th branch of the Discipline Committee, which is a subordinate branch of the Advanced Education Bureau-Special Corporation RFO.

However, this school has ceased to officially operate a few years ago, and even the Advanced Education Bureau itself is almost disappearing.

So, although she has the status of a student, she does not need to go to school until she transfers to junior high school.

And just like her appearance, she is actually just an elementary school student.

It is quite rare to see someone like Natsume who should be in elementary school but is actually in junior high school.

Having said that, Mr. Kihara can also choose to continue staying in this school which is only in name, because this institution has all the certificates for running schools from elementary school to high school.

"Is she the Sonoko-san that Banri-san mentioned? She's the same age as me."

"The person with great abilities who accidentally broke into Banri-sister's world and rescued them has now become a superpower like a shining star high above Academy City."

"She is even more legendary than Misaka Mikoto. She is a legendary figure who truly ascended from a person without abilities to a person with super abilities, completing the six steps. You have to know that the Railgun was also at the level of a person with low abilities when it first developed its abilities."

Kihara Nayuta took a deep breath silently, feeling a bit complicated. A lot of information about the girl in front of her flashed through her mind, and she even ignored Index who was trying to continue communicating with her.

Many people will ignore Natsume Sonoko's past and only see her dazzling appearance now, but for many researchers hiding in the dark, her past has long been unearthed and exposed to some people's eyes.

Natsume can easily empathize with people with lower-level abilities or even those without abilities, because she was once a part of them. This is also the reason why she always has an inexplicable sense of oppression.

Obviously everyone worked very hard, drank bitter medicine together, had electrodes inserted in their heads together, and were tortured to death together, but only she made it to this point.

It is difficult to understand what it's like to work hard with everyone and finally find that you are the only one who achieves your dream, especially for a girl as emotional as Natsume.

"It looks like this Tokiwadai student fainted suddenly."

Coming back to her senses, Kihara Nayuta slowly put down her schoolbag from behind and took out a medical kit distributed by the Discipline Committee.

Chapter 495: The Confidence of a Superpower

For a Kihara, consuming experimental subjects as if they were non-durable equipment was simply a birthright.

Then, Kihara Nayuta, who had reserved her opinion on this and tried to carry out the so-called 'perfect experiment' that even took the safety of the experimental subjects into consideration, became a 'defective product' and an incompetent person who didn't fit in among the Kihara clan.

Even though he has research talent and inquisitive spirit that surpasses ordinary Muyuan, this miserable situation of being isolated has not changed, which has also resulted in his slightly eccentric but extremely paranoid personality towards certain things.

And this "defective" lady is currently trying hard to save a girl with a bun who is in a special state, because this is her duty as a discipline committee member.

"I actually thought about rescuing the eighth one. What an arrogant idea."

"People like the eighth one should know exactly what they are doing. If you want to make the brain of a superpower perform high-intensity calculations, you can only do it if you have such an idea."

It is impossible to measure the other person's body temperature through the skin, and even some simple data collection is difficult to do. The constant temperature layer of Natsume Sonoko lingering on the body surface instantly caused some trouble for Kihara Nayuta.

Although classmate Kihara has no interest in studying people with psychics at the moment, she is still overwhelmed by simple measurements in medical work.

Just as many researchers of the Kihara clan said, in the area covered by the vigilance of the Eighth, even Accelerator cannot have a decisive impact on it, and the stalemate between the two will most likely end in nothing.

But in fact, as long as you target the opponent's psychological weaknesses, even an ordinary passerby can be killed with one blow.

The collective atmosphere and exaggerated safety measures deliberately created by the Academy City environment can paralyze many lazy and naive guys.

However, what makes many researchers feel frustrated is that after the recent attack on Natsume Sonoko in the school garden, it has become much more difficult to collect some additional data on the eighth place through there.

As long as the eighth person is not hopelessly naive, it is conceivable that he will inevitably increase his own level of protection.

Experimental subjects like the eighth one are extremely rare even in the Kihara clan. The attributes of the other party's abilities alone mean that they are of extremely high research value.

"But I didn't expect that I could come into contact with the eighth person so easily this time. It was obviously just a simple patrol."

"Compared to that railgun sister who wanders around and blatantly destroys public facilities, it's not easy to find the eighth one even if you deliberately wait on the road between the school garden and the Tokiwadai student dormitory."

Kihara Nayuta's heart moved, and she recalled her several failed searches.

She seemed to have some strange emotions about the eighth one.

Moreover, let alone a member like her who is almost isolated in the Kihara clan, even some Kiharas with higher authority find it difficult to keep track of the whereabouts of the Eighth at all times, unless they contact the Anbu and send out an AIM system ability user like Sister Takitsubo.

Her ability, to some extent, is just a degraded version of that of the big sister Takitsubo, and cannot be used to search for targets over a large area.

"She is not only a discipline committee member, but also a psychic. She also worked with Mr. Kiyama to wake Banri and the others from their slumber. She fulfilled everyone's dreams, as well as mine."

"He's such an enviable guy that I want to cry, but I can't cry no matter what, because having an eighth person like him to wake up Banri and the others is the best outcome I could have ever imagined."

As she tightly grasped the unconscious No. 8 in her hand, strange emotions welled up in her heart and Nayuta Kihara couldn't help but lose consciousness.

She works at the Advanced Education Bureau - Special Corporation RFO, which is the school where Banri Edase and the others used to be, and was one of Mr. Kiyama's students.

But Nayuta Kihara did not participate in the original experiment because she was a researcher rather than a test subject.

She also chose to respect the wishes of Banri and the others, but at that time no one knew that the experiment was doomed to fail.

[We are the ‘abandoned children’ abandoned by our parents, the ‘elders’ who were left with nothing’, and it was Academy City that took us in.]

[If we become people with great abilities or super powers, we can repay Mr. Kiyama and Academy City! ]

[As expected, the first thing to do is to become a member of the Judgment Committee and get rid of the bad guys in Academy City.]

[Then let everyone become psychics, become discipline committee members, and protect Academy City]

[However, can we, who are called defective products by others, really do it? ]

"It certainly can."

Kihara Nayuta recalled what she had said to Banri and the others, and stared blankly at the distance that was gradually becoming empty.

"Nayuta-chan, it's okay to call me that, right?"

"She seems to be in great pain."

Index on the side said anxiously that she had no experience in curing diseases and saving lives.

"It's okay. It's probably a stress response from the stomach muscles. Let her lie down first. I'll give her an emergency chest and abdomen massage."

Kihara Nayuta spoke seriously.

Not only was it the discipline committee member's responsibility, but she had almost no ill feelings towards the eighth person. She just felt very unwilling that the person in front of her had realized all of her and Banri's dreams.

The reason why I wanted to try to contact him was probably because I wanted to see what kind of person this lucky guy was.

At the same time, Natsume's attention was diverted to Reiko, and in this situation, he couldn't even control his own body.

However, under Natsume's observation coverage, what happened on both sides could not escape Natsume's "eyes".

However, her attention was completely focused on Feng Zhan and organizing the data, so she didn't react much to the discipline committee member who suddenly appeared.

After all, she still trusted Index and the discipline committee members.

"What a strange person. Most of her body is made up of metal prosthetics."

"The last guy who looked similar was probably that Kihara Gensei. And her name also has Kihara in it, so maybe they're a relative."

Sound is a form of vibration and can also be observed by her.

It's just that Natsume Sonoko felt a little strange in her heart, but she didn't feel any hostility. However, it was inevitable for her to remain vigilant.

No matter what the other party was going to do, she was sure that she could return to her original body immediately, but in that case she would not be able to take care of the data changes on Feng Zhan's side.

As for observing the AIM force field energy emitted by the opponent, he should also be able to reach the level of a super-powered person, but based on the confidence of the super-powered person, suppressing the opponent is only a matter of breathing.

That is to say, she can barely fight back in terms of releasing special effects, but as long as she gets serious, she can defeat the opponent in an instant.

Appears in the official fan fiction "Proof of the Existence of a Certain Vending Machine". Mentioned by Kihara Enshuu in Volume 4 of "The New Testament".

A member of the Discipline Committee of the Advanced Education Bureau and Special Corporation RFO, a girl with a red children's school bag and golden twin ponytails.

A member of the "Kihara Clan", the lone member of the clan, known as a "defective product".

He met Edasaki Banri and others, and agreed to become a discipline committee member and a psychic user.

In order to reduce the number of children who become "experimental subjects", he volunteered to become a subject of the "Explosion Experiment for Analyzing the Laws of Runaway Ability (Ability Body Crystallization Experiment)", resulting in 70% of his body being replaced by artificial prostheses.

Chapter 495: Semi-Table of Contents

The 1.45-meter-tall girl lay flat on the soft grass, with gauze wrapped tightly on her face, hiding the dense blood-red threads on her eyes and the bulging blue blood vessels around them.

The muscles on both sides of the eye sockets also bulged high at the same time, instantly destroying the softness of the entire face.

Every time I try my best to maintain the connection with Lingzi, I will immediately become this ugly and scary appearance.

However, if this change is seen as the price of gaining power, it seems cheap and convenient.

As a gentle force continued to press on various parts of Natsume Sonoko's body, the increasingly strong body instinctive reactions were gradually suppressed, so she didn't really suffer from vomiting or spitting out acid due to nausea, which would have made a certain Miss Tokiwadai lose face.

People of Natsume Sonoko's age probably care most about their own glorious image, especially when they have friends around them.

"She looks much better, Sonoko."

Index sat slouched on the lawn, watching the series of actions of the discipline committee member beside her with worry. It was not until Sonoko's body slowly returned to normal that she revealed a beautiful smile.

Even Kihara Nayuta herself couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

She just followed the method taught in the discipline committee training, and she didn't expect the effect to be so good. In the work of saving classmates and protecting the academy city, the efforts made by the discipline committee members were no less than those of the security teachers.

Just like the difference on the armbands, the discipline committee members represent shields, while the guards represent tridents, which represents the different attitudes of Academy City towards the two.

All in all, Kihara Nayuta would feel happy in her heart when she could help others out of trouble.

This emotion is probably different from Shirai Kuroko's overflowing sense of justice, but they are all for the purpose of protecting Academy City.

"Yeah. But I can't guarantee whether the situation will continue to deteriorate."

"It all depends on the student's own choice. Although I don't know what she is calculating, if you can't make a choice about some things, you will only get hurt in the end."

While talking to Index absentmindedly, Kihara Nayuta had a thoughtful expression on her face.

If she had enough equipment and time, she could have found a way to analyze the abnormal behavior of the eighth person. But she didn't have the conditions or ideas to do so. She just stayed quietly aside, silently paying attention to the changes in the eighth person's body.

As if she had thought of something, she took out a strawberry-flavored hard lollipop from her red schoolbag and handed it to Index, as if she wanted to comfort this somewhat strange little nun.

Although she is obviously younger, this discipline committee member always seems to like pretending to be more mature.

"By the way, I don't know your name yet."

Sitting side by side with Index, the small red schoolbag next to her feet, and the eighth person lying dead one meter away.

The girl named Kihara Nayuta said subconsciously, her golden twin ponytails swaying gently in the breeze.

The eighth one and this little nun seemed to be very good friends, which was really the most common friendship in Academy City.

Chapter 496: Looking at Each Other

The simple conversation between Kihara Nayuta and Index is just part of the endless information disturbance around Natsume Sonoko.

You are at an infinitely high place, free from the narrow vision of your body and even that of a person with special abilities. As long as you try to look at the world from an observer's perspective, it's as if you have stepped into another wonderful world.

It's a pity that Natsume is just an ordinary human being after all.

No matter how special it looks, as long as its own computing power is insufficient and the brain cannot bear it, it will immediately return to its original form and return to the closed and inefficient old senses.

The simplest and most radical way to get rid of this limitation of computing power is to let others do the calculations for you.

Whether it was the previous Fantasy Hand incident or the Feng Zhan Bing Hua in front of him, they were actually following a similar path.

Although there is no concrete evidence, the fact that Fuzan can now think and live normally should be due to the help of the brains of all the people with special abilities in Academy City, just like Mr. Kimiya Haruo in the Fantasy Hand incident.

However, according to the impact caused by the previous Fantasy Hand incident, the calculation power that Feng Zhan can exert with the entire imaginary area behind him is definitely hundreds or thousands of times greater than the previous one. (From now on, the phase of the aim force field will be expressed in imaginary areas)

After all, the entire Academy City has a population of more than two million, and the Fantasy Hand incident at the time only affected about ten thousand people, most of whom were people without special abilities or people with low-level special abilities.

However, judging from Feng Zhan's current performance, she is not even qualified to be called a normal person with special abilities. She is even regarded as a platform for releasing the "formula" by the people behind the scenes.

"To put it in a less appropriate way, Feng Zhan-san is incomplete right now."

"Although it looks like the core of the force field in the imaginary number zone, connected to the nearly infinite AIM force field energy inside, in fact, there are too many restricted places."

After being slightly relieved from the hard work of recording the path's 'starting point' data, Natsume Sonoko finally had the energy to think about more things.

As the amount of recorded data increased, Natsume became more and more puzzled, as if he had an inexplicable sense of déjà vu.

The guy hiding behind the scenes and inputting formulas always seemed to be giving Natsume Sonoko some time to breathe, allowing her time to adjust her state.
