Temperature Control in Academy City

"As expected of Sister Sha."

Jiezai Xuezi, who was sitting on the right side of Shadanshan, close to Natsume and Sonoko, twitched her lips. She saw the strange attitude of the eighth place clearly.

Although I have heard that people with super powers are not normal, there are probably not many people who can be fooled by such a thing. It turns out that the more powerful the person is, the greater his obsession is in certain aspects.

By the way, I remember that Misaka seemed to be the same, and could be easily bribed by Quata. At the beginning, she only used the Quata stickers obtained in the lottery to successfully gain his favor.

As if she remembered her previous experience of living together with Misaka, a faint smile suddenly appeared on Jiezai Xuezi's face. It was obvious that the two of them had a good relationship, but now she was no longer his roommate.

However, the eighth person's question seems to be even more...weird than Misaka-san's love for Quata.

He is obviously a person with powerful superpowers, but he is firmly bound by school rules. He writes various letters of advice to the school all day long. No one knows what is going on in his head.

Another psychic in their school, Shokuhou Misaki, hardly takes the school rules to heart.

"Really? Senior Sha also thinks these school rules are wrong, right?"

"But the teachers at school don't really approve of it, and the seniors around me don't really care about this kind of thing..."

Natsume Sonoko's interest suddenly waned, as if she thought of her miserable past experiences.

Apart from eating, drinking and lazing around every day, Natsume Sonoko usually thinks about how to eat, drink and laze around more properly.

And she is not really lazy, she just seems to be free every day because of her quick hands and feet. For example, she has already completed the homework for a month later in class.

The same goes for club activities. Every month, she would create... ahem... investigate a new urban legend, and write a research paper at the same time. She also does her job as a discipline committee member seriously. All the little hooligans and bad boys in the neighborhood have heard of her name, Natsume Sonoko. It can be said that her name is well-known.

“In fact, many school rules are necessary.”

"Only some of them need to be changed. After all, students' duty is to study. But some regulations that have nothing to do with study are not included in this list."

Sha Danshan smiled slightly, and the panda in his hand seemed to be speaking for the other person.

Although it continues to produce various high-tech products, Tokiwadai is still filled with a deep aristocratic atmosphere in its bones and is a well-deserved conservative among many schools.

Even though most of the school rules can be explained by regulating students' behavior, just like the strong atmosphere of eldest lady etiquette in the school, it is just to maintain a kind of lofty decency.

At this time, she took a sip of black tea casually like the girls around her, but she inserted her fingers very roughly into the ring of the teacup, instead of tapping it with three fingers like the girls around her.

She hated everything about Tokiwadai.

The girls of the Sand Clan were not surprised by this. In their opinion, their leader lacked a lot of basic common sense and was just an idiot. And because of the panda in front of him, except for Natsume Sonoko who was using the radar map, probably no one else could have noticed it.

However, Natsume Sonoko probably wouldn't care about such a small matter as the posture of holding the teacup. She just kept nodding in agreement. She found that she and this senior sister Sha really had a common language.

"But it must be difficult to change the minds of the adults in the school. Even Natsume-san's opinions were not accepted or heeded."

"It turns out that the acquisition strategy is the most appropriate."

With a look of interest flashing across her face, the married senior came over and said that it was the first time she knew that Natsume Sonoko had written so many letters of advice.

This kind of perseverance makes her worthy of being a friend recognized by Guangzi after her marriage.

"Even if we try our best to buy enough shares of Tokiwadai, we may not be able to do so even if we start a post-marriage airline."

Wu Lili on the side interrupted.

The window of the ward was open, but the strong smell of black tea quickly spread throughout the ward.

The white curtains in the ward fluttered, and fresh breezes blew on the cheeks of many girls. The exquisite Victorian-style teacups added a touch of charm.

There was no longer any sense of strangeness as if they had just met. The girl with the bun who was quite outgoing had almost forgotten that they had only met for ten minutes. Even the married senior schoolmate felt quite happy. It was really interesting to communicate with the senior schoolmates.

"It's hard to change adults' minds, but it's much easier to change students' minds."

"As long as more than half of the girls in Tokiwadai agree to change the school rules, this pressure will be able to influence the school board."

"The Shokuhou faction accounts for 41% of the students in Tokiwadai. If someone can unite with the Shokuhou faction and win over 9% or more of the girls, it will be enough to negotiate with the school to a certain extent if the majority of people support it."

At this time, Sha Danshan's voice continued.

Chapter 731: Disbanding Factions and Weak Areas of Governance

Students are not necessarily able to shake the school's decision, which is determined by the positions of both parties.

However, the girls in Tokiwadai are not normal students, and they are not even close to being normal. From the level 3 students at the bottom to the superpowers at the top, every one of them is a dangerous and restless person. And getting them to agree is as difficult as brainwashing the entire school.

Once the opinions of the majority are unified, the situation will be reversed, and it will not be inconceivable that they will take the initiative to leave the school and work alone.

This is something that young ladies would definitely do. There are many people who violate school rules in private. The difference is whether they do it openly or not.

"Hehe, this seems to be true."

"It's so exciting to think about everyone breaking school rules together."

After a slight pause, the originally ambitious girl suddenly became thoughtful. She knew very well what the senior in front of her meant.

The easiest way to get the school to make concessions is to show enough weight.

The students’ attitudes are enough to influence the adults’ thinking, but no one has been able to organize the students on a large scale before. This is probably because any such behavior will be nipped in the bud by the adults in the bud, or the adults are actually controlling the risks at all times.

Fortunately, if it was just one school, there wouldn't be so many concerns. Now, there was even a huge student organization called the Shokuhou Faction in Tokiwadai. It was obvious that the school council had already become riddled with holes, and risk management was facing major difficulties.

Although given Shokuhou-senpai's situation, she probably wouldn't choose to insert her own people into the school council, but it is indeed a sign of incompetence on the part of the adults to sit back and watch the Shokuhou faction become what it is now.

Or maybe controlling a person with a psychological control system has exceeded the limit of adults. After all, we can't take any super-restrictive measures. Shokuhou-senpai is strictly speaking an important signboard of Tokiwadai.

The reason why both sides can still live in peace is thanks to the powerful backer behind Tokiwadai and the fact that Shokuhou-senpai is a character who is too rational and can weigh the pros and cons.

However, this overly explicit plan still made Natsume Sonoko feel a little stressed.

Obviously, she still wanted to be a good student, and the plan of openly defying the adults was still too... trendy for her.

In fact, Natsume Sonoko is probably not a serious moderate. She often has the impulsive idea of ​​organizing a large student union. Fortunately, no one will erase her because of this idea.

"Well...but what Senior Sister Sha thinks is not very appropriate. This method will embarrass many irrelevant people, and there are many good adults in the school."

"I actually have a plan, too. That's to make Shokuhou-senpai the student council president. That's great, right? If we add the Shokuhou faction to the student council, the total number of people we can get together will definitely exceed 50%. If we communicate with the school through the student council, it won't embarrass irrelevant people, and it will become a normal matter of the school."

Natsume Sonoko suddenly became excited, and her little face was full of seriousness.

The girl with the bun always has her own opinions, which are things she has thought about seriously for a long time. Although she is often influenced and changed by others, the premise is that they are in line with her ideas.

This was the first time she shared her ambitions with others, although it sounded like playing house. In fact, including the fights between factions, it was all playing house. There were less than 200 people in the entire Tokiwadai Middle School, so maybe it could be called a game of house for people with special abilities.

Having said that, the 50 percent mentioned earlier probably included the number of votes she could get, and she felt that she could at least get five or six votes for Shokuhou-senpai.

In order to achieve her ideal Tokiwadai and eliminate some school rules that hinder her happy life, Natsume Sonoko suddenly became full of energy, and her laziness disappeared. It seemed that she had achieved her true will.

No matter what kind of enemies or opponents she faces, as long as it can make her life easier, she will never let it go. This is her ninja way.

"Running for the student council, but given Shokuhou-san's personality, would she really participate in such an event?"

"When I was at Tokiwadai, the student union had no presence at all. The only role it had left was probably to allocate club funds and to liaise with other schools. It might also have done hard work like setting up event venues, cleaning up classroom rubbish, and organizing weeding. In fact, the student union had no say in the allocation of club funds. If it was too little, it would be easy for everyone to come and cause trouble, so basically it was allocated according to the number of club members."

The panda doll in Senior Sister Sha's hand made a gesture of spreading her hands in confusion. In her eyes, the student council president of Tokiwadai was a nobody in the school.

Moreover, she knew Shokuhou Misaki better than many people, and knew that she probably wouldn't do such a thankless task. If she tried to take the rights that the student union should have from the school council, it would definitely intensify the conflict between Shokuhou Misaki and the school.

"Hey! I'm sure of this. Shokuhou-senpai will definitely participate in the election."

Without any hesitation, Natsume Sonoko spoke seriously, she had already been sure of this.

"Is it because of that classmate from the Yaou Academy?"

"I heard that her campaign slogan is to disband all factions, and this naturally includes the Shokuhou faction. Although I don't quite agree with this, if I can cause trouble for Shokuhou Misaki, I think many people in the school will be interested."

Putting down the teacup in her hand, Jie Zhai Xue Zi paused and replied.

Even she was a little moved and decided to vote for the classmate from Yawangyuan to encourage him in his magnificent act of throwing himself into a flame.

"By the way, does the student union really have the right to disband factions?"

Senior Minato at the side asked, and the scene suddenly became a little quiet.

Although I don't know much about the Student Union, from past experience, usually only small factions with no ambitions for development will choose to run for the Student Union.

After all, once you are burdened with the many chores and work of the student union, there will be no chance for factions to develop. Wouldn't it be nice to drink tea and go shopping? Why go to a place that has no sense of existence and is hard?

"In theory, yes. The existence of factions is a student affair. To some extent, the student union is a whole formed by students giving up some of their rights and signing a contract with the school."

"However, due to the existence of factions, most of the power has been dispersed. Even the remaining power of the student union is mostly limited to the elected factions and non-factional students. Strictly speaking, it is a good idea, but in practice it does not work."

"But... I mean but. If the Shokuhou faction is elected, it will be different. The Shokuhou faction plus the non-faction students will be equivalent to half of the school."

Wu Lili on the side spoke up.

She still hopes to see the development of the student union, but after all, she was once a member of a faction, and ultimately she has a stronger sense of belonging to the faction.

However, if a strong student union really appeared in Tokiwadai, she would be unable to resist joining the Shokuhou faction.

"Eh, it turns out everyone knows it."

Natsume Sonoko said this a little embarrassedly, but then became confident again.

A strong student union, what a bright future, a future where she doesn't have to wear a school uniform after school seems to be waving at her.

What she couldn't stand the most was the rule of having to wear school uniform after school, and she occasionally wanted to wear something different.

"That student from Yaouin has been handing out campaign flyers everywhere, and recently invited many people to a tea party. By the way, he also bought a lot of limited edition desserts, and it seems that he has gained a lot of favor."

Wu Lili, a third-grader, continued, saying that she had been invited once.

The classmate from Masaoin was mainly trying to win over the first years in Tokiwadai, as the Shokuhou faction's control was relatively weak there, but some non-factional people in the second and third years were also his targets.

Chapter 732: Age and developers who like magical girls

The senior from Yaou Academy is not tall, and her body shape is that of a normal junior high school student, but her ambition to stir up trouble is no less than those former faction leaders.

I heard that he is currently the vice president of the student union. Under the influence of the heavy and hard work of the student union, he has still developed his faction into the second largest faction after the Shokuhou faction, and its number of members accounts for about 10% of the entire school.

Even in the past when factions were fighting each other, the Yawangyuan faction was no longer considered a small faction, and it even had the qualifications to compete for the title of Eternal Princess.

However, under the ruthless pressure of a certain golden girl, even the presence of the second faction was too weak, which resulted in almost no new members being recruited from the first grade this year.

"Even if limited edition desserts are provided, the number of people willing to vote for that Yawang College student will not increase much. However, with the original supporters of the Yawang College faction, it is not a big deal to win a normal student union election that is not taken seriously."

"But if we target the Shokuhou faction, then these efforts won't be enough. We need to at least get the support of a psychic."

Senior Sister Sha had a smile in her eyes. She raised her hand to adjust her asymmetrical glasses, as if she was quite interested in the junior named Yaouinji.

Disbanding the factions is a really good idea. If it succeeds, the adults in Tokiwadai will definitely be in a state of panic.

By dividing up the many girls with huge military power into smaller organizations, many unpredictable situations can be avoided. This is much more difficult to deal with than simply dealing with the Shokuhou faction.

You know, in order to deal with its students with special abilities, Academy City has produced a series of suppressive weapons. Not all the people buried in the cemetery of the Tenth School District are students who died of natural causes. Her former sister Wulin Yexiao is buried there.

Even those with super powers have corresponding elimination measures, and many Anbu teams are on standby at all times, with the main focus on a lack of mutual trust.

The big and the small are restrained, and different opinions are mixed together. Senior Sister Sha has a lot of knowledge about ancient countries in her head, and she is very familiar with this kind of thing.

"The support of the superpowered person? That senior did come to me."

“But I didn’t agree.”

Tilting her head slightly, Natsume Sonoko said as she recalled.

She had a deep impression of Senior from Masaoin, because she was the one who reminded her that there was still a way to support Senior from Shokuhou in being elected as the student council president.

I remember that at that time, a certain bun-haired boy first ruled out the idea of ​​forming his own faction to run for the student union, and his mind was full of thoughts on how to rely on his senior schoolmate to bully others in school.

"Then the only target left for Masaoin-san is Misaka-san."

As soon as the words fell, the girl named Wu Lili responded with a smile. She seemed to be more certain of the rumor that the eighth person was brainwashed by Shokuhou Misaki.

If they want to deal with Misaka-san, it would be best to start with the Quata strategy, which is also the method they used to infiltrate Misaka-san.

However, in order to eliminate unnecessary risks, Natsume Sonoko, the third person with super powers, will definitely be deliberately targeted. Wu Lili has already thought of many plans to prevent the eighth person from participating in the election.

The simplest way is to let the eighth place go abroad during the various ability demonstration activities that Tokiwadai often holds. Not only do they not have to go to school during the ability demonstration period, but they can also travel abroad for free. For students who cannot leave Academy City, most people will not refuse.

The second thing is to set up an election committee and then nominate an eighth person who is non-factional. Then he will not be allowed to make remarks that favor any one party.

There are many corresponding methods, and the prerequisite is probably that the eighth person is willing.

However, the eighth person doesn't seem to be as smart as Shokuhou-san, so it's possible that he was fooled into agreeing.

"Misaka-san."

Jie Zhai Xue Zi on the side said with a strange expression.

She seemed to be able to think of some things that might happen in the future.

By the way, Misaka-san is already fourteen years old, is it really okay for her to still like Quata so much at this age?
