Temperature Control in Academy City

The scenery at high altitude was just as simple as that on the ground, except for the high temperature caused by the flames. In this environment where normal people could not live, Natsume Sonoko was quite relaxed and even felt a warm feeling like spring.

The roar and thunder of dust explosions continued to come to my ears, the bright red flames shot up into the pale sky, and a beautiful girl with disheveled hair stood quietly in the middle of the ruins, just like a horror movie in the midnight show.

"Thank goodness, no victims were found."

Chapter 578: Better

Reiko and Dolly were taking care of their sisters who were sleeping in the apartment, Last Order was sleeping soundly on the TV cabinet, and Accelerator was casually abandoned in a center for lost children on the side of the road.

Shirai-san and Hatsuharu were both unconscious, leaning against each other's shoulders in the Discipline Committee. The instant noodles that were served as dinner were already soaked and white on the table. Misaka-san, who was following the Indian poker suspect, fell in some corner. The stray cat that occasionally passed by gave a disdainful look and then quickly ran away into the night.

In the Academy City illuminated by white light, time seemed to have stopped. Only the discipline girl who was working overtime was still busy on the front line of street fights, chattering so much that it made people's ears hurt.

No one cares about what the disheveled girl with super powers is muttering. There is basically nothing useful in her mumbling sentences. It can probably be understood as the whining of an adolescent girl.

But the deterrent power from the opponent cannot be underestimated. She exudes a dangerous aura all over her body, and her tenacious fighting will allows her to maintain a strong desire for victory.

Just like before when her body was controlled by the program, Natsume Sonoko now also longs for victory. Her desire to end the incident is almost dissipating into the air. She wants to get everything back on track. This is the fundamental reason why she gritted her teeth and refused to retreat.

By the way, isn't there anyone awake in Academy City who can come and help?

With her thoughts in a mess, Natsume Sonoko first thought of the familiar hedgehog-headed high school senior. That right hand would definitely be able to resist this kind of spell that would make people sleepy.

However, unless someone deliberately guides the way or there is a huge movement that can be noticed from a very far distance, it is actually difficult for Kamijou, who has the Imagine Breaker, to arrive at every scene in time.

In fact, even if the fire in this building was fierce, only a little reddish glow and smoke could be seen in the distance, and the time when the building was burning violently was only a few minutes ago.

Shaking her head again in an attempt to stay awake, Natsume Sonoko's brain gradually became unable to sustain it. The pain and swelling were gradually replaced by increasingly intense feelings of mental confusion and dizziness.

Fighting while in a negative state is really not her style, so naturally she needs to find a way to solve the problem.

The next second, she reconnected to Zero's computing power to share the enormous pressure she was currently under. However, the transfer of a small part of her thoughts did not have the expected effect this time.

This surprised Natsume Sonoko, and she was once again puzzled by the abnormal speed of her improvement during her coma. The speed and consumption of her running the formula had changed unprecedentedly.

When one reaches the level of a person with super powers, even the slightest improvement will result in a huge change in one's abilities.

She hadn't had any intuitive feeling before, and hadn't had time to carefully examine her changes. She didn't even care about the increase in the radius of her radar map. But after a quick comparison with the control group, Natsume Sonoko felt a deep sense of confusion.

The consumption when running some of my own formulas and the computing power required when communicating with Zero gradually became equal.

It is related to the computing power and demand required to maintain contact between the two parties and transmit information to each other. Basically, the transmission of each formula and thought is an information exchange, and the transfer of consciousness is also based on information exchange. The cost is naturally the consumption of computing power.

Even if the demand is huge, this consumption is insignificant compared to Natsume Sonoko's computing power, and it can be said to be very rare.

However, this consumption is like a constant expenditure and will not decrease due to brain progress or formula improvement, because this is not the ability itself, but a special state that is interconnected with the help of aim force fields and abnormal technology.

At the beginning, the cost of using zero-calculation formulas is much lower than using your own brain to calculate the formulas.

Later, as her brain developed faster, the cost of running the formula on Natsume Sonoko's side decreased, but it still met the goal of saving computing power.

But now some accidents have happened. Unless some more complicated formulas such as atomic collapse and thermal conversion are used, otherwise just passing a series of relatively simple formulas, the benefits of connecting to the zero side are basically equal to the cost or only slightly beneficial.

Most of his abilities were actually repetitive calculations of simple formulas. Even the air tornado was just the result of a series of temperature control formulas. He divided the complex formulas into small parts and gave them to Zero to calculate, and then copied the answers back to me for my own inheritance.

To get back to the point, before the formula itself is completely updated, this smooth feeling is like a comprehensive upgrade of the computer's CPU, and the running software will no longer be stuck.

She had heard a series of rumors about ability development, such as some powerful guys becoming high-level ability users once they completed their development, and low-level ability users making rapid progress after a certain stage, but her own progress still violated Natsume Sonoko's understanding of ability users.

She was not scientific at all. Natsume Sonoko's hands trembled slightly, and it seemed that this was a big blow to her.

However, Natsume Sonoko can easily accept this setting to a certain extent. Her current confidence in this bizarre world is basically based on the fact that science is real, and she also believes that people with special abilities are legitimate products of science.

Although you care in your heart, you can choose not to show it and you can also come up with reasons to comfort yourself.

Yes, she is a time traveler and had a "previous life" as a witch. As long as she accepts her own unscientificness, she will be invincible.

And I have made progress this time, which is a good thing no matter how you think about it.

After all, she would not spend too much energy on things that she could not figure out or lacked information about. As long as she could read the veins of the universe, no traces would escape the eyes of the future girl.

"It seems there is no reason to keep hanging on to Zero."

"Although I am the older sister, I seem to rely on Reiko more than anyone else. No matter how you think about it, I feel a little lacking in authority. And Reiko has started to grow up recently and knows how to eat by herself. With Misaka 9982 by her side, I am no longer useful as the older sister."

Natsume Sonoko leaned weakly against the broken wall of the building and couldn't help but sigh. She suddenly became a little worried.

The scene seemed to appear in my mind: Reiko and Misaka No. 9982 were snuggling together happily, while the elder sister and majestic dormitory supervisor knelt at the door of the dormitory, crying silently.

Ignoring the abnormal images that appeared in her head, the superpower girl always focused on the wind in front of her.

At this time, the magical girl who was lying on the ground and spitting blood also stood up again.

Her body was surrounded by a mass of air that was squeezed to the point of almost solidifying, but it was not as heavy as the previous beam of light.

The condition of Feng Qian was worse than expected, and he didn't even have the strength to recover.

As long as the Angelic Rituals still exist in her body, even if she does not use them, she will continue to be attacked and disturbed by the imaginary number areas spread throughout the air until the rituals that constitute the Angelic Rituals in her body are completely destroyed.

"You don't seem to understand the situation. This can be called a war anyway."

"It's the kind of thing where it's a fight to the death and only one person can stand up."

The Wind in Front supported its body with the help of the hammer and responded to the mumbling of a certain scientific girl with a hoarse voice.

"This kind of thing is better left in movies and comics."

After a moment of silence, Natsume Sonoko finally spoke.

Chapter 578: Half-Expressionless

War is too far away from the lives of the young ladies, just like the stars in the sky, it exists but seems out of reach.

Natsume Sonoko felt that the magical girl in front of her was just talking big.

He is clearly just an intruder, and he has been beaten like this, yet he still wants to confuse people with incomprehensible words.

If demolishing a few houses and destroying some public property can be called war, then she is already the number one criminal in Academy City.

"Nice to meet you, Natsume Sonoko."

"I am the Wind Ahead, a magician."

A faint smile appeared on the charred face of Feng in front of him, but it looked a little scary at this time.

Beneath the broken scars is a lush mass of new flesh and blood, tender and transparent, with no trace of the previous disgusting look of heavy makeup.

It seems that all I need to do is take a good rest for a while and I will basically be back to normal.

"Do you want to know what happened to you? You were in a coma and were being used by others the whole time."

"I was manipulated as a pathetic tool to fight against me. Until now, I still don't understand my situation."

"You are more shocking than my injuries."

Leaning on the hammer, she walked forward a few steps. The Wind in Front could not lock onto the opponent's position with her vision, but the power of the angel spell was always surrounding her, allowing the caster to sense the hostility of others.

The girl was now in the midst of a blazing sea of ​​fire and ruins, emitting a hostility so strong that it almost covered the sky.

The desire to kill me was extremely strong, but there was no murderous intent, and there seemed to be a little hesitation and concern.

Complex emotions seem to be squeezed out from every pore, and the ever-changing psychological activities cannot see through her true heart. To sum it up, she is just a self-suppressing and contradictory girl.

If she can't get what she wants and can't satisfy her own desires, this girl will sooner or later become a madman in disguise of rationality.

"Hey, something must have happened when I was unconscious before. Was it that fat cat who did it?"

"But then again, it's better than falling asleep in mid-air for no apparent reason and nearly falling to death."

The girl who was preparing to give the invader a love storm hammer was slightly stunned, and the chaotic memories before she fainted were gradually connected together with the wind in front.

However, Natsume Sonoko had no interest in responding. She would investigate what happened on her own and make a judgment instead of listening to what a stranger said here.

The movement in his head did not stop at all. The storm group composed of air rose up along the surface of the ground, and the huge impact force instantly hit the hands of the wind in front holding the weapon.

Natsume Sonoko doesn't have much time left, she has to kill the other party before she can't hold on any longer. Although she can barely maintain her calculation ability under severe pain, the price she needs to pay is increasing every minute and every second, and sooner or later she will break through a new threshold.

Chapter 578: Back Attack

They were fighting each other even though they didn't know each other. They wanted to decide the winner even if their bones were broken or their brains were damaged. The heavy things they were carrying made the girls glare at each other.

After all, there is no world that satisfies everyone. Everyone is just a prisoner living in a small circle. Deep-rooted prejudices and intrigues constitute a collection of contradictions in the human world.

The hostility and even broader malice that arise from this have become the best tools for some people to exercise their cosmic authority.

The girl who was a member of the Judgment Committee and who could live happily in the Academy City without any feeling towards this raised her head high. She was an excellent representative of prejudice and ego, and all her actions could be attributed to protecting her own interests.

There is a clear distinction between what she hates and what she likes. Her attitude towards others can be both bad and warm. All changes depend on her different attitudes.

Although she cannot become a hero who protects others, she can do what she believes in without regret. Every time she swings her fist, her will is carried out. She will be the best trump card for Academy City to run rampant.

"You're talking about something inexplicable. Are you affected by my previous lines?"

"By the way, I said the lines of the Discipline Committee not because I like them, but because a girl named Shirai Kuroko asked me to do it. She said it was called the law enforcement procedure."

"It always seems troublesome to memorize Academy City's rules. Actually, I just made them up."

Natsume Sonoko muttered something hoarsely. It was rare for the enemy to be more talkative than she was. Because usually she could resolve the battle the moment she encountered it, as the guys who were sent to the security building in groups could attest.

Strictly speaking, I am quite introverted. I always need to give gifts to make friends and get closer to them. I always feel nervous when I go to my friends' dormitories.

She clenched her hands slightly, and subconsciously formed a strange handprint. The other party seemed to have introduced himself as if it was their first meeting, so in response, she had to be more proactive and let the guy from outside see the enthusiasm of our Academy City.

The huge silhouette of Guatai appeared above the wind ahead, completely blocking out the sky that could be seen when looking up.

The body of Guatai is filled with white light and bright red flames. At first glance, it has a wonderful sense of refinement. It is a unique high-end toy in the figurine industry.

The next second, the sharp teeth made of ice bit hard on the body of Feng in front of it. Frogs are omnivorous creatures, so it is normal for them to bite people.

Holding the hammer tightly, she faced the wind in front of her fearlessly. But after just a slight contact, she found that she did not encounter any substantial blocking force, but her movements became slower.

The cold air spreading from the fangs froze the air into fine ice chips, and the entire sky began to snow. The white frost engulfed the body of the Wind in Front, and every part of it was contaminated with the extreme cold that absorbed heat.

The white frost began to cover the hands and feet and continued to cover upwards. The white ice layer was like tentacles, blocking the movement speed of the wind in front from all positions.

The temperature control range of Natsume Garden is still maintained at around 100 degrees.

Chapter 579 The Right Path

Looking down at Zhifeng's almost life-threatening attack from the front, Natsume Sonoko's fair face suddenly became inexplicably irritated. So she just couldn't stand some extreme guys, and there had to be a limit to causing trouble for others.

If you are unable to deal with the other party in time, then you will become a fool if you try to be soft-hearted.

"Do you want to increase the intensity of the attack a little?"

"It shouldn't be a problem. I remember that the doctor of the Underworld Soul Chaser should have superb medical skills."

After a more sober assessment of her poor condition, Natsume Sonoko gritted her teeth and stared at the wind in front of her with dissatisfaction. Strong hostility and disgust continued to linger around the girl, but in the end she did not become a beast or monster driven by negative emotions.

If it were possible, she would have stopped fighting a long time ago. Her dignity as a young lady was completely lost today, and she felt so wronged that she even wanted to cry.

But he still had to take back important things from the invader, and his sisters and everyone in Academy City were still in danger, so there was almost no option of giving up halfway.

It looks like this guy called Wind Ahead will be hated by the petty-minded superpower girl for a long time.

Obviously, Natsume doesn't care about the reason why the other party launched the invasion, nor does he have time to understand the other party's inner world. He only cares about what the other party did.

No matter what the reason is, as long as you stand in front of her as an enemy, don't expect to get a good response.

The atmospheric vacuum area created by swinging the hammer only lasted for a moment and was not enough to dispel Natsume Sonoko's ability projections all around.

The next second, the area was filled with cyclones coming from all directions. The girl who was a part-time air user was never inferior to others in the fight for air authority.

The air currents that followed like shadows formed walls that gradually converged on four sides, and the suffocating feeling of oppression squeezed the whole body of Feng in front from all directions.

His feet, trying hard to move, stepped heavily on the ground. Every step he took required almost all his strength. His bones made unnatural creaking sounds, and the unhealed scars began to crack.

A large amount of hot air was involuntarily poured into the nose and mouth of Feng Qian, and the cross pendant that came out of her mouth was already stained with blood. Sticky blood lines fell from the end to the ground, and the bloody foam dyed the place where she walked red.

However, facing the opponent's endless air control, Qian Qianfeng was unable to lift the hammer in his hand that was used in conjunction with the pendant.

Under the concentrated illumination of the AIM diffusion field, there was no problem of insufficient power when the imaginary number area was deployed in the seventh school district, and it even reached the level of overload operation.

This means that every time the Wind Ahead uses magic, it has to pay a huge price, until its body self-destructs because it can no longer bear the cost.

The ground beneath his feet would collapse from time to time, and the dilapidated road surface could no longer bear heavy objects. However, every time he sank to the ground, he would stand up again and continue moving forward without looking back. Qianfeng no longer cared about his injuries.

After a while, the genuine magical girl's consciousness became fuzzy.

The new skin under the scars on his face has turned bloodless. The cost of forcing a fight is much greater than that of Natsume Sonoko on the other side. After all, even his own existence is being rejected by this city.
