Temperature Control in Academy City
Page 402
Several young ladies with different thoughts surrounded a girl with a bun on her head and a silly smile on her face and walked towards the top floor of the building. Every floor of the abandoned building was filled with a complex smell of metal and dust.
Since the elevator had been so magnificently dismantled, Shokuhou-senpai's exercise volume had obviously increased significantly these days.
"Shokuhou-senpai, are you okay?"
I was soon left at the center of the crowd and fell behind. While climbing the stairs, I felt an inexplicable strong sense of frustration, a feeling that usually only occurred in physical education classes at school.
After adjusting her breathing a little, Natsume Sonoko wiped her sweat-free forehead. She felt that her physical strength seemed to have declined again. She turned around to look at Shokuhou-senpai, who was left three or four steps behind her, and said with concern.
Although the young ladies have some relationships such as subordination or personal coercion, there is no distinction between superiors and subordinates, and naturally there is no such thing as accommodating in everything.
"Sonoko, ask them to wait. Really, it's just climbing stairs, can't you go a little slower?"
Shokuhou-senpai lowered her head, placed one hand on the stairs, and showed a miserable smile.
"How about I take my senior up with me?" Natsume Sonoko said hesitantly. It would only take a moment to use her ability. "Besides, it's really troublesome that the elevator has been dismantled."
"No need for that. I don't know what Mitsuari-san would think if I did that."
Shokuhou-senpai's face froze slightly, as if she was thinking about the conversation she had when she first came to this building last night.
That guy openly set the trap in the elevator, knowing full well that she would take the elevator upstairs in her lair. The strong mockery emanating from his bones made Shokuhou Misaki very unhappy.
She didn't know how long the other party had been investigating her in secret and had analyzed her character and abilities from all aspects. Shokuhou Misaki felt that she must take revenge and let the other party know the consequences of angering her.
From now on, all errands in school will be done by Mitsuari, and the job of cleaning the faction classroom can also be given to her. Every time during meal time, she will be ordered to fetch dishes back and forth in a domineering manner... But the most important thing is not to let her have too much private time. Shokuhou Misaki is very clear about the ability of people with psychological system abilities like them to take advantage of loopholes.
As for how long she would keep Mitsuari Aiyu under her care, Shokuhou Misaki didn't have any specific plans at the moment. At least until she graduated from junior high school, she felt it was necessary to keep her under supervision to prevent her from causing trouble again.
It’s really tiring to think about it this way, but this is indeed one of the best solutions to manage risks. This is completely different from a certain girl with a bun who likes to throw all follow-up issues to the security teacher.
Shokuhou Misaki has currently supervised or punished many people in the school who cause trouble and harm, and most of them have become obedient.
For example, the former Tokiwadai Junior High School was actually full of serious problems of discrimination based on family background, which was more serious than the difference in ability levels.
Famous families, prominent families, nobles, wealthy families, chaebols... Tokiwadai's students are filled with a large number of girls from upper-class families, and girls from ordinary families account for more than half.
With such a huge disparity in family background, even though they all have one common point in that they are people with high-level abilities, conflicts and contradictions between the two sides continue to occur frequently. Many of the previous fights between the three major factions were also related to this.
However, after Shokuhou Misaki took over Tokiwadai Junior High School, this conflict became less acute.
The main reason is naturally that Shokuhou Misaki herself is too strong, and real young ladies also have to live according to the "Queen's" mood.
For example, the eldest daughter of the Hōjō airline, Hōjō Mitsuko, is obviously the successor to a huge chaebol, but she can't even form a faction in school; and senior Misaka seems to be even more miserable, as she endures double harassment from the overbearing classmates in the school and the perverted schoolmate in the dormitory every day.
"By the way, did Sonoko go to the hospital today?"
Shokuhou Misaki stood there for a while before looking up in the direction of her junior.
Ever since Natsume Sonoko put on that strange prop around her neck, she naturally knew about the abnormality of her junior schoolmate, and had even thought about going to the hospital to inquire about her condition.
But this time, it seems that Natsume-san is not going to see a doctor himself.
"Well, this is a senior whom I met by chance during the invasion. She has almost recovered, so I am here to pick her up from the hospital. By the way, it turns out that senior also graduated from Tokiwadai."
"And among the people who came to visit were quite a few students who had graduated from Tokiwadai Junior High School, and there was also a senior who liked to talk while holding a panda doll, and she looked very strange."
Natsume Sonoko slowed down and said as she recalled the past.
"A senior who has already graduated and is holding a panda doll?" Shokuhou Misaki was a little surprised, and the outline of a sickly girl suddenly appeared in her head.
"Yes, that senior sister's name is Sha Danshan."
As if she remembered that senior sister Sha agreed with her letter of suggestion, Natsume Sonoko smiled a little embarrassedly.
However, the other party seemed to be the school that his own sister Shokuhou forcibly kicked out, and for a moment he became hesitant again.
"Shadan fan?"
"Just talking about what he did, that person is much worse than Mitsuari-san."
Shokuhou Misaki commented weakly, remembering something.
Chapter 739: Wake up
Guys who blatantly do bad things can be seen everywhere, and their number can almost fill up the entire security building, but those who know how to disguise themselves as harmless and hide in the dark to do some horrific things are much rarer in comparison.
Having said that, the main gathering place for such people is probably the Anbu in Academy City, and many Anbu members have two very different faces all year round.
Franda, who likes to make doll bombs and doesn't take other people's lives seriously, is actually an optimist with great popularity in the normal world; the same goes for Archer Tiger Hunter, who is a sniper who is good at assassination, but in reality he dreams of becoming a campus idol and becoming popular.
However, the girl named Sadasan naturally did not need to maintain two faces because of her work in the Anbu. In Shokuhou Misaki's opinion, this person exudes a bad aura of someone who would do anything to achieve her goals.
This is somewhat similar to Mitsuari, who also did a lot of bad things to achieve her goals.
But there is one thing that is completely different. Even if Mitsuari Aiyu wants to do something, she can only hide in a dark corner. However, Shadanshan is openly under the gaze of everyone, unscrupulously taking advantage of others' trust in her superficial identity, constantly driving and inducing various events to happen.
And often in the end, she is the one who can stay out of it and even gain the favor of others.
Simply put, he is a guy who truly enjoys playing with people's hearts but has no bottom line.
Maybe he has something in common with a starry-eyed girl who is also good at playing with people's hearts, but if you look closely, they are definitely not the same type of people.
"He is the leader of the largest faction in school, leading 23% of the students. Outside of school, he runs a large charity covering the entire Academy City. He has donation agreements with many orphanages and childcare institutions, and carries out a large number of unrewarded public welfare projects. No matter how you look at it, he is the perfect student leader who will help consolidate the reputation of the five prestigious schools in Tokiwadai."
"But in reality, he is a bad person who secretly planned and provoked many conflicts among students, and he never tired of doing so. Not only that, many inexplicable incidents against Tokiwadai Middle School actually had the shadow of that person behind them."
"He planned conflicts between factions, secretly launched a campaign to ostracize people with superpowers, and intensified conflicts between students from different backgrounds... How much does that guy hate Tokiwadai?"
Many things suddenly came to her mind, and Shokuhou Misaki subconsciously rubbed her old waist.
Taking advantage of the time when his schoolmate stopped to watch, he took a few more steps forward and finally reached a level that was almost the same.
Although she has absolutely no competitive spirit in this regard, and she remained calm even when she came in last in the obstacle race during the Daihastari Festival, sometimes she still wants to try her best to keep up with her junior and maintain her delicate dignity as a senior.
The reason why Shokuhou Misaki was able to detect the true identity of Senior Sand was not because she had read her memory. The other party's ability "Residual Thoughts" could indirectly resist her psychological control.
To be more precise, it was more like a kind of same-sex attraction. In addition, Shokuhou Misaki herself had also been involved in a lot of things at school, and the various behaviors of both parties were involved with each other, and unsurprisingly they had intersections with each other.
Even though Sadafusa can use force to erase all traces she thinks need to be erased, Shokuhou Misaki can still detect problems from the memories of passers-by and the parties involved, and she does not need conclusive evidence like solving a case, just a guess is enough to initiate an investigation.
"It is because we have seen so many people whose appearances are completely different from their inner thoughts that we feel that everything external cannot be trusted."
Standing still, Shokuhou Misaki thought for a moment, and became more and more certain of her ideas.
For someone who has not read minds, no matter how kind and decent someone appears, it is not enough to make her truly accept and let down her guard.
Language and expressions can be deceptive, and even actions can be disguised. Only memories and feelings from the heart cannot be easily hidden.
When it comes to trusting others, the golden girl is like a stress patient who has suffered too much similar destruction and torture, and will never change the way she looks at the world.
She likes girls like her schoolmate with a bun-like hairstyle, whose appearance and inner self are almost exactly the same. She looks a little silly on the outside, but in fact, she is not very smart.
"Hey, did that senior do a lot of bad things?"
The scene changed, and the pupils of a girl with a bun-like hair dilated slightly, and she was obviously shocked by the words of her senior.
In her opinion, Senior Sister Sha was probably one of the very few people who had a common language with her, and the only one who showed enough kindness to her letter of advice, which made her feel a little disappointed.
She also thought about discussing the change of school rules with the other party another day, and before leaving, she specifically exchanged phone numbers instead of just giving out her email address.
"Ah, do you care about this, little garden?"
"As expected, when it comes to human hearts, even I have to admit that Senior Sister Sha is better than me. Even without using the power of the psychological system, she can do things that ordinary people can hardly do."
Taking a deep breath to calm her heaving chest, Shokuhou Misaki smiled playfully as she whispered in the ear of her adorably silly schoolmate.
It is really easy to see through the thoughts of my junior schoolmate. Even if I deliberately keep an expressionless face sometimes, some subtle movements can still betray her.
"This...that...I can't say I care much."
Natsume Sonoko answered hesitantly.
"Hehe, Xiao Yuanzi is still as cute when she lies."
"If you are not good at disguising your thoughts, then it might be better to express them openly. Otherwise, people will think you are disguising yourself."
"In fact, that senior didn't do anything serious, and Sonoko didn't need to be so embarrassed. If I had to describe it, that senior was actually a rebel against the adults, but her methods were so dirty that even I, a person with the ability to control psychology, felt they were dirty enough to be compared to some adults."
Blowing gently in Natsume Sonoko's ear, one hand subconsciously wrapped around the girl's shoulders opposite, Shokuhou Misaki whispered in a joking tone.
It seemed that because the two people were too close, Natsume Sonoko's expression suddenly became a little awkward, and even the skin on her face became redder.
Fortunately, the girl with the ball-head hair looked a little relieved when she saw that the god who was lying on her shoulder and almost being crushed by the big hand just looked at her senior sister with a faint gaze and did not use means such as "existence reduction" to fight back.
In the eyes of that great god, it might be equivalent to being almost hit by a rock.
"At first I thought I had met a tough opponent, but later I found out that he was just a poor guy who was blinded by hatred and became hysterical."
"So, in order to help the other party sober up a little, I can only ask that senior to leave Tokiwadai and calm down."
Shokuhou Misaki suddenly sighed and spoke in a calm tone.
Chapter 740: Wulin Midnight Snack
Tokiwadai Junior High School is simply too small to accommodate two girls who both want to do something behind the scenes.
Especially since the interests and values of both parties are not consistent, and their views on the school and their classmates are very different. As long as Shokuhou Misaki doesn't want to experience chaos from within the school every now and then, making her environment full of uncertainty, then expelling her from the school is undoubtedly the best solution.
In fact, it is difficult for Shokuhou Misaki to keep Mitsuari by her side and supervise her like she does with her. She still maintains a good reputation and a very high social status in normal society, and is surrounded by a large number of fans. She is far from being comparable to a failed girl like Mitsuari Ayu who can only hide in the dark.
In addition, Senior Sister Sha already has the title of Eternal Princess, and is a reserve member of the General Council, that is, a substitute director.
Although this kind of reserve force itself does not have much value, the number of substitute directors is far more than imagined. The Eiyaro princesses of Tokiwadai are not even in the top 20 in the substitute sequence. However, as long as things like the previous invasion by the magic side and the killing of several directors happen a few more times, then there may be a chance to become a regular member.
But after all, she is a person with official endorsement. If there is no reason to take action, Shokuhou Misaki is not willing to be too high-profile.
"Leaving school will help you become more sober?"
"Is there any conflict between that Senior Sister Sha and the school?"
Natsume Sonoko looked a little surprised. She took Shokuhou-senpai's chubby arm with one hand and continued to climb the stairs while talking.
Senior Fanfeng and the others have already climbed to the fifth floor, and they can’t continue wasting time on the stairs.
"As expected of Xiaoyuanzi, he got the point right away."
"Speaking of conflicts, this involves something that happened a few years ago. Strictly speaking, it was a tragedy caused by jealousy or interests."
Shokuhou Misaki had a sigh on her face, and her body subconsciously followed her schoolmate's movements and walked upwards.
"Before the Sha faction was established, the largest faction in the school was actually the Wulin faction. As for the leader, I remember it was a girl named Wulin Yexiao."
"It is said that because a member of the faction was kidnapped, the martial arts senior sister tracked down the traces and took the initiative to attack the kidnapper, but it caused a major accident in which two people died."
Shokuhou Misaki struggled to take steps and recalled with a frown.
"Hey, did that senior abuse her ability... and go berserk!?"
"That's too careless."
Natsume Sonoko's expression froze and she said in disbelief.
It is rare for girls in Tokiwadai to abuse their abilities. This is not because they are all good and obedient students, but because the comfortable environment leads to a lack of need for violence.
Although bloody conflicts and attacks on classmates occasionally occur, they will never escalate to the point of murder.
As a result, Natsume Sonoko immediately thought of letting her ability run wild.
After all, it is not too outrageous to treat people with special abilities as human weapons. Many practical abilities have the ability to take away lives easily, and once they go out of control, they can indeed cause big problems.
Just like Natsume Sonoko rarely uses certain undeveloped formulas to prevent unexpected troublesome situations such as runaway, she doesn't want to be a visitor to a juvenile reformatory.
"Maybe."
"But that senior was only arrested by the security guards at first, and she would most likely be convicted of self-defense. But later, a lot of unfavorable evidence unexpectedly emerged, which led to her being sentenced to prison."
"And the people who submitted sufficient evidence to the juvenile court seem to be the members of those martial arts factions back then."
Shokuhou Misaki said this lightly, with an ambiguous expression on her face, and a strong smell of conspiracy instantly came to her face.
As long as you connect the things that happened before and after, many doubts will be dispelled immediately.
"And the final result was that the martial arts senior died in the juvenile reformatory shortly after being imprisoned. At least that's what the file describes."
"At the same time, after the dust settled, the adults in the school who were slow to realize the incident seemed to have realized something. Perhaps in order to protect the reputation of the school, or because they felt that the matter was irreversible, they not only quickly erased the record of the senior sister, but also took back the "Eternal Princess" badge that should have been issued, and completely blocked the news. Even now, the senior sister still bears the reputation of a murderer."
Shokuhou Misaki turned her head to look at the girl with the bun-haired look who had a shocked expression on her face, and continued speaking.
The adults in the school are not necessarily bad people. They are just too realistic. They consider things more from their own perspective and choose the way that causes the least harm to themselves. It cannot even be said that their choice is wrong.
Because the attack by the martial arts senior sister did cause casualties, it is impossible to determine whether it was self-defense. The kidnapping of faction members was only one-sided statement made by the senior sister after the transcript.
In fact, for example, in the recent assault at school, if she and Sonoko had not both chosen to give up their right to prosecute and deliberately misled the nature of the incident, then according to the normal school practice, the girls involved in the incident would basically have been expelled or even arrested by the security guards.
