Temperature Control in Academy City

Staring at Shirai Kuroko with eyes wide open, a girl with a bun on her head said in an exasperated tone.

I was seen through at once, and my mood suddenly became bad.

If we need to deal with more predicted events in the future, it would be enough to have Shirai-san around. There would be no need for me to get involved. At most, she would come to help when the problem could not be solved.

"We'll take care of Miyama-san, and Natsume-san will take care of this one."

"We're waiting for you outside, so be sure to pay attention to your safety."

Senior sister Gufa smiled and squeezed in between the two people, skillfully posing as a senior member of the Discipline Committee, and immediately shocked the chattering Space Mobile.

"Then we'll go first."

Shirai Kuroko pursed his lips and seemed a little unwilling, but he didn't say much as he looked at the increasingly fierce flames below.

With one hand around Pero and the other holding onto Senior Gufa's arm, Shirai Kuroko stared at a girl with a bun with her big, piercing eyes, and then disappeared into the air in an instant.

In a crowded area outside the park, the white mist has spread here, and the overwhelming pure white air flow is sweeping across the sky like an open steamer.

From a distance you can see the huge scene of a water dragon pouring water into the park. The water level in the lake not far away keeps dropping, and soon it reaches the boom-bust line.

"Miyama-san, the operation went smoothly."

"Pero, it seems to be frightened, but fortunately there are no injuries on its body."

Just when a girl with a bun-like head was making a big noise, Shirai Kuroko had already brought the stray dog ​​Pero to the vicinity of a certain elementary school student.

Because he ran away from the hospital halfway, he was wearing the same hospital gown as Natsume Sonoko.

The moment Miyama Xieying hugged the puppy Pero, tears of excitement kept flowing from his eyes. He wanted to say something, but when the words came out, his voice turned into sobs.

The powerlessness and despair in the face of an inevitable fate seemed to have ended completely at this moment.

"Hey, are you still a crybaby? You should be happy at a time like this."

The girl with the ball head was busy putting out the fire and muttering something in boredom. Part of her attention had long been distracted.

Firefighting is really a very boring job, but fortunately, I am efficient enough and I only need to increase my power to handle it in a few minutes.

As for the cause of the fire, everyone actually knew it, and Natsume Sonoko was almost the first to react.

The culprit that caused the trees to burn rapidly and even explode was in the park, deep under the ground and blending into the trees as they absorbed nutrients from the outside world.

Then there is only one possibility, that is the nutrients absorbed by the trees themselves.

There is certainly no problem with nutrients in nature, so the problem lies with man-made things.

Chapter 641: Too Enthusiastic

Natsume Sonoko skillfully threw the discipline committee armband on her shoulder into her bag, and walked out of the park gate in her small leather shoes. Naturally, she didn't need to worry about the subsequent troublesome work.

Whether it was contacting the security teachers or preparing the investigation report on the cause of the fire, they were all completed by Shirai and her classmates. She just had to pack up and leave.

"Sister Sonoko, is it really okay to leave like this?"

"Hatsuharu and the others are still busy maintaining order, and the security guards haven't arrived yet."

Edasaki Banri held Natsume Sonoko's arm with one hand and said with a hint of hesitation on his face.

The fire had been largely extinguished, with sporadic flames quickly disappearing under the cover of the water vapor layer. However, looking at the pitch-black column of smoke, which was a sign that the hot air cyclone was still rising, one knew that the incident was not yet completely over.

"Hey, Banri, you made a mistake."

"Disciplinary committee members are not responsible for off-campus events. Strictly speaking, we are now doing voluntary labor, so there is no such thing as completion or non-completion."

"In fact, this is an act that is forbidden by the security teachers. It would be best to sneak away now before the teachers arrive, so that you don't have to write a self-review report."

With a serious expression on her face, Natsume Sonoko was spreading some inexplicable experiences to the girls who admired and loved her.

Although putting out the fire and rescuing people is a good thing, the rules of Academy City are like that, and the discipline committee members are actually overstepping their authority, especially when so many people are acting together in a blatant manner wearing armbands.

“Such rules really make people feel uncomfortable.”

"Even if there is no encouragement, it should not be criticized. After all, everyone is working so hard to help others."

Walking behind Natsume and the other person, Kihara Nayuta was muttering something, and next to her was Harukami Kimie, who looked naive.

As a discipline committee member who has no school to go to, Kihara Nayuta's range of activities has actually always been the entire Academy City. In addition to the twin ponytails on her head, this seems to be very similar to a certain spatial movement.

Therefore, Kihara Nayuya also felt very empathetic towards these unfriendly rules.

Of course, she definitely didn't need to write a self-criticism. People related to the Kihara clan were the focus of attention in the security department. As long as they didn't cause any major trouble, the security teachers would turn a blind eye.

This is not a so-called privilege, but the Kihara clan is classified as an Anbu organization, and the security department cannot control them under normal circumstances. Obviously, the Kihara clan has a much higher priority than the discipline committee members.

However, the Kihara clan's Anbu organization is not as clearly separated from the surface world. Many Kiharas work openly in the surface world of Academy City and can participate in various seminars and publish papers, which is completely different from the Anbu used for combat purposes.

"Nayuta's view is not correct."

Turning around and smiling at the indignant Kihara Nayuta, Edasaki Banri stretched out a finger and shook it.

"Sister Sonoko once said that this is the best rule."

"There must be limits on how the discipline committee members handle incidents outside the school. Not everyone can adapt to the dangers outside the school, and it will also squeeze everyone's normal life and study time. If we take it for granted based on individual cases, it will definitely not work."

"Besides, incidents outside the school are also the responsibility of the security teachers. Students only need to do their own work well, and they are already helping Academy City a lot."

Edasaki Banri was recalling something, and suddenly spoke in a serious tone.

Her own sister Sonoko is both smart and reliable. She speaks in a logical and pleasant way. Banri feels that her words make sense after listening to her many times.

The work of protecting Academy City cannot be accomplished overnight, and everyone's actual situation must be taken into consideration.

“That’s a good point.”

Holding a crepe that she had bought from somewhere, Harukami Kimi, who had been silent the whole time, nodded in agreement.

"That's right. Not everyone wants to be so busy every day."

"But I hate being punished to write a self-review, so I can only leave early."

As she was talking, the girl with a bun on the side couldn't help but fall into thought. She seemed to have avoided writing apologies many times without realizing it.

This can be considered a good thing.

"what?"

Looking at the three girls who suddenly reached an agreement, Kihara Nayuta couldn't help but feel a little strange on her face.

The eighth one seemed to be a little different from what he had imagined, and Banri and the others' thoughts seemed to be being led astray.

But then again, there is nothing wrong with the opinion raised by the eighth person, but it always feels a bit inconsistent.

He actively participates in various dangerous incidents time and time again, but he is a lazy person.

Are the discipline committee members who are motivated by interest just guiding their actions based on their own interests?

"But, although I don't agree with discipline committee members working outside the school, I don't object to it either."

"Everyone wants to have more people to rely on sometimes, whether it's on campus or outside of campus."

Thinking of a certain spatial movement, Natsume Sonoko muttered softly.

If someone is willing to do this, she thinks it's a good idea. Shirai is the real hero, and she is at best just an enthusiastic spectator.

As long as I think of Shirai-san working hard, Natsume Sonoko can hide in the student dormitory and read comics with peace of mind. When I think of this, life suddenly becomes beautiful.

By the way, if there is a way to strengthen Shirai-san's combat capabilities and professional level, then wouldn't the future of Academy City be more peaceful and tranquil?

After a slight pause, Natsume Sonoko's brows gradually relaxed.

Why didn’t I think of such a constructive idea before?

But how can we strengthen Shirai-san? She doesn't understand anything about the eleventh dimension.

"That's right."

Kihara Nayuta nodded silently, and a sudden enlightenment arose in her heart.

Someone you can rely on? The eighth self, I guess.

I see. The eighth one was just worried that the members of the Discipline Committee might get hurt, so he took the initiative to handle the case outside the school. He is really a gentle person.

In fact, it was almost the same. The off-campus incidents that Natsume Sonoko had handled so far could be piled up into a small mountain in some files. Because she was a member of the Kihara clan, Kihara Nayuta could always get much more information than people from the outside world.

Looking at her classmate Kihara Nayuta, who had a look of sudden enlightenment and excitement, Natsume Sonoko suddenly showed some hesitation.

This girl whom I have just met is really a little weird. He has always been too enthusiastic towards her and seems to have some unrealistic expectations of her.

When I invited him to deal with the predicted events together, he agreed without hesitation. Not long ago, he took the initiative to hand over the information about Indian Poker to me. No matter how I think about it, it's beyond the scope of new friends. It's as if he has known me for a long time.

Maybe it’s because of the relationship with Banri and the others. After all, they were classmates once. Natsume Sonoko couldn’t help but think about something.

Chapter 642: A View of the Sacrifice

The burning smell caused by the fire was no longer tangible. Just turning a corner, it was back to that bustling big city.

I originally planned to go back to the student dormitory and wait for the restaurant to open, then lie comfortably on the sofa to start my daily formula deduction and search for the trace of Feng Zhan.

However, after Banri and the others' suggestion, Natsume Sonoko instantly showed an interested look, and the four of them set off towards Mr. Kiyama Haruo's company in a mighty manner.

How should I put it? Mr. Kiyama's place is really suitable for me.

Not only are there unlimited snacks and drinks available, but you don't have to do any labor yourself, so it's basically impossible for you to be captured as a soldier if you're not careful.

Unlike Natsume Sonoko who was there just to get some free money, Banri and Harukami would go to Mr. Kiyama's place for a while almost every day, and now they have started to help with some simple documents.

And Nayuta Kihara is still helping Mr. Kiyama with product development.

I heard that the follow-up research and development work of "Smart One" has also entered the regular stage, and most of the content so far has been completed by her and Mr. Kiyama.

I have to say that Kihara Nayuta fits Natsume Sonoko's impression of a genius scientific research girl very well.

“Hey, is this true?”

"I didn't expect that Ms. Kiyama's products would be included in the ability development supplies series of Zhachuan Middle School so quickly."

A look of surprise appeared on her face. Natsume Sonoko remembered that it had only been a few days since Mr. Kiyama proposed the product launch plan.

"Mr. Mushan's products are definitely the best. It seems to have passed the school's review easily."

Feeling the warmth on the other side of his palm, Edasakibanri raised his head and spoke seriously.

Edasaki Banri always believed that you should trust Kiyama-sensei at all times. And Kiyama-sensei's products tasted sour and sweet, just like the strange-tasting drinks you can find everywhere.

"That's right, but the real situation is a little more complicated."

"Of course, it also has something to do with the fact that Mr. Kiyama is a member of the board of directors of Zhachuan Middle School."

Walking a few steps behind the two of them, Kihara Nayuta continued what Edasaki Banri said.

She was just as concerned about the eighth person's question as Banri, but she obviously knew more.

"Is it because of the Ichidanran Festival? The school has been busy preparing for it recently."

Harukami Jinyi, whose mouth was full of cream and whose face was filled with happiness, tilted her head and asked.

The delicious food and the leisurely conversations among friends blend naturally together, creating a pleasant feeling that complements each other.

"more or less."

"In order to attract more students next year and increase the school's application rate, the board of directors of Zhachuan Middle School also needs to come up with some technological products that can attract everyone at this time, and the proposal given by Mr. Mushan is his own product."

"It has been evaluated as worthy of a try in the certification of relevant research institutions. It seems to be much better than most of the brain drugs used for ability development in Zhachuan Middle School. If we can gain something from the first end of the review, it will also be beneficial for subsequent promotion."

"But it would be best if we could come up with a second-generation product before then. Compared with some big companies, our first-generation products are still not competitive enough."

A serious look flashed across her face, and Kihara Nayuta subconsciously lifted up her red schoolbag before explaining in a serious tone.

Although she is only Mr. Kiyama's assistant in research, she has her own experience in many aspects and even understands the operation of Academy City better than Mr. Kiyama. In fact, this is also her suggestion to Mr. Kiyama.

"A festival for Yiduanlan? It turns out that it is almost that time."

"I remember it was held in mid-November last year, so there's only a little over a month left."

Natsume Sonoko thought for a while, and a feeling of time passing by suddenly appeared on her face. Before she knew it, a year had passed, and she was now a junior high school student.

She would be very happy every time she encountered the Iduanlan Festival, and her whole person would immediately become cheerful, which was completely different from the Daibaxing Festival.

Academy City's Daihasei Festival is basically a sports meet for people with special abilities. Although abilities can be used in the events, it is still as tiring as a normal sports meet. The only advantage is that parents can enter Academy City.

The Yiduan Festival is a bit like an oversized cultural festival within the entire Academy City. It is not open to people outside the Academy City, but only to the internal student groups.

Students from other schools can choose to visit different schools, and they can also participate in the garden projects prepared by students on campus or watch student performances. By the way, they can also experience enrollment for a period of time.
