Temperature Control in Academy City

"And the reason why Shadanshan is hostile to Tokiwadai is naturally because of this Wulin-senpai. Both Shadanshan and Wulin-senpai are adopted daughters sent to Academy City by famous martial arts families outside of Academy City. They can be said to have a sisterly relationship."

"Because of the incident involving Senior Wulin, the Wulin family was also greatly affected. All of the adopted daughters changed their surnames. Senior Sha Danshan's original name was actually Wulin Danshan."

Shokuhou Misaki stood at the middle corner and looked at the end of the stairs and breathed a sigh of relief. She was finally about to climb to the fifth floor.

By this time, Hokaze Junko had already been waiting at the stairs, looking at her breathless queen with a smile on her face.

Mitsuari-san stood in a nearby corner without saying a word, looking at the two esper users who were holding hands and seemed to be too close with a puzzled expression.

"But... um... how can you do this?"

Natsume Sonoko suddenly found it hard to accept.

If that was the case, Natsume Sonoko would have immediately understood the conflict between Senior Sha and the school.

In order to cover up the extremely vicious incident in which students deliberately framed each other and even caused death, Tokiwadai Junior High School chose to completely abandon an innocent student in order to maintain the dignity of the school for young ladies.

As for the reason for the deliberate frame-up, it was naturally the title of Yongdai Jijun. After all, the largest faction at that time was the Wulin faction.

There was also the ugly behavior of classmates deliberately framing each other, which immediately made Natsume Sonoko feel uncomfortable all over. Is the title of Eidai-hime really that important?

Even if it was given to her for free, she might not want it.

"Don't be too angry. Although those adults are too selfish, they also know the seriousness of the problem. Many girls who participated in the frame-up were ordered to transfer schools even if they did not receive substantial punishment, and no one was awarded the title of Eternal Princess that year."

"Some teachers in the school also tried to change Senior Sister Wulin's situation and collected evidence to appeal, but her death came too suddenly."

Shokuhou-senpai's face showed no expression, but she spoke in a comforting tone.

She lacked sufficient sympathy for the martial arts senior's experience and trusted people she shouldn't have trusted, which led to this crisis. In short, she was a girl who was incompetent and too naive.

As for the other party's experience of dying in a juvenile reformatory, Shokuhou Misaki felt that there might be some problems.

After all, the Anbu likes to recruit people from juvenile reformatory the most, and the ability of that senior sister happens to be at the level of a powerful ability user.

"Queen, Natsume-san, what are you talking about?"

With her hands clasped in front of her, Hokaze Junko maintained her ladylike demeanor and spoke with concern in the direction of the two of them.

Seeing that her queen could climb five flights of stairs smoothly made Hokaze Junko very excited.

However, Natsume's expression looked a little strange. Did something happen?

"It's nothing important."

"Sonoko made a new friend today. She is a former senior from the Sapai clan."

Chapter 741: Too Enthusiastic

Feeling a little dizzy, Natsume Sonoko lowered her head and followed her senior schoolmates towards the makeshift laboratory.

The little bun swayed from side to side with the movement, and her hands were stiffly pressed on both sides of her skirt, making her look very absent-minded.

"So that Senior Sister Sha has such a past."

"But if you do a lot of excessive things because of this, it will be really embarrassing."

Natsume Sonoko thought about it for a while and suddenly an idea came to her mind.

Just like when Misaka-senpai was promoted to level 6, her heart was filled with the memories of her sisters' deaths, and she became irrational and crazy, but Natsume Sonoko would not sit idly by and watch her make an irreparable mistake. Shokuhou-senpai probably did something similar.

There are too many twisted and hysterical people with special abilities in this city, and they tend to become more extreme as time goes by.

Everyone has their own reasons for being determined and doing what they think is right. But apart from this, many people are actually good people.

Then the one who decides the future direction of these events is definitely not the guy standing on a high position and pointing fingers, but the person who has enough strength to make the other party wake up, or the person who makes the other party unable to continue and admit defeat.

The death of her elder sister was indeed unacceptable, and the desire to take revenge on the school was understandable. However, apart from the adults, everyone in the school would definitely not let Senior Sister Sha do this.

Even Natsume Sonoko is the same. She will not allow anyone to destroy the place where she lives. Her persistence in this regard is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

However, rather than saying it is persistence, it is better to say that it is self-centered. To some extent, the girl with the bun hair judges everything according to her own values.

"Come to think of it, maybe that's why that Sha-senpai talked to me about changing the Tokiwadai school rules, hoping that Tokiwadai could be changed in a gentler way."

"Shokuhou-senpai's calming treatment may have worked. That Sand-senpai has become less evil."

"When it comes to changing school rules, the key factor is actually a strong student union."

Natsume Sonoko's pupils lit up slightly, as if she had thought of something. The rapid change in expression made the girls around her look at her twice in surprise.

Although she had long known that her school was not as innocent as she had imagined, and that it usually cooperated with many large corporate groups to collect DNA information of students and privately established and funded a large number of research institutions, and that various school rules seemed inhumane, she was still greatly affected by suddenly learning about some extremely vicious incidents that had occurred in the past.

Since she doesn't know much about that martial arts senior sister, she naturally can't put herself in the shoes of the senior sister Sha. Natsume Sonoko's bad mood mostly comes from her dissatisfaction with the school.

She felt that the biggest problem in the school was that the adults had the final say, which made Natsume Sonoko's campus life less fun and caused many bad consequences.

If there had been a student union that could have a more equal dialogue with the school when the school was about to give up on Senior Wulin, then perhaps the situation would have been different.

And it would have been okay even if there was a strong girl like Shokuhou-senpai at the time. In Natsume Sonoko's opinion, although her senior was a little overbearing in school, she was still very principled. Such big news in the school would inevitably be investigated, and with psychological awareness, it would be easy for her to discover the problems.

But strictly speaking, Tokiwadai Junior High School was only a passive responder, and the people who created the incident should be the seniors from the martial arts factions.

Whether it is out of jealousy or the temptation of interests, the intrigues among the young ladies are really not decent.

It’s just that due to the long time passed and the fact that the characters have long been separated, there is probably not much chance to trace the past except using some unconventional means.

Even the information that Shokuhou Misaki has now is not the original first-hand intelligence. It is just the outline of events that was accidentally pieced together from the memories of some people. As for the truth, probably only the parties involved know it.

"Sonoko, it's dangerous to trust others too easily."

"Whether it's Senior Sister Sha or anyone else, they are all the same. Don't think that everyone in the school is trustworthy and worthy of care."

Walking closer to the back, Shokuhou-senpai glanced at her junior who had a strange expression on her face, and then spoke softly.

As a senior whom the other party trusts, she feels that she needs to change her junior's mind a little. It is easy to be deceived if you believe what others say without thinking. She is really worried about Sonoko's future.

But then again, it seemed like she relied on this point to build a close relationship with Sonoko.

As long as she was a little nice to Sonoko, the girl with a bun would happily come to her side. Shokuhou Misaki couldn't help but recall something.

"I see."

"But you are exaggerating a bit, Senior."

Natsume Sonoko pinched her fingers awkwardly, not knowing whether she had heard it or not.

Her senior schoolmate still lacks trust in others as always, and always uses malicious intent to speculate on anyone who hasn't read her mind. Natsume Sonoko has long been accustomed to this.

She doesn't have the same good psychological control ability as Shokuhou-senpai. If she keeps doubting each other every day, she will feel exhausted after just a little thought.

And according to her thinking, judging a person by his actions is enough.

How should I put it? It probably means that we should focus on the actions rather than the heart.

The makeshift laboratory has not been completed yet, with various instruments and equipment scattered all over the floor, but the general outline has been completed for the most part.

The technologically-charged laboratory made Natsume Sonoko excited, perfectly matching the girl's peculiar aesthetic, except that the messy environment slightly detracted from the experience.

Pale lights lit up from the ceiling, and busy staff were everywhere in sight. Mr. Kiyama and Nayuya Kihara, both wearing white coats, had been working for the entire day.

"Here here."

As if she saw the girl with a bun hair behind the crowd, Kihara Nayuta waved happily towards the distance.

This made Haruo Kiyama speechless. No matter how he looked at it, his student seemed to be too enthusiastic towards Natsume.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Kiyama, Mr. Kihara."

Still looking at the completely different environment around her, Natsume Sonoko was slightly stunned before she quickly responded.

"Are you ready for preliminary experimental testing?"

“This will be of great help to the progress of subsequent experiments.”

Teacher Kiyama walked up and spoke to Shokuhou Misaki and Natsume Sonoko.

Chapter 742: Second Grade

This time, the experiment adopted the "Fantasy Hand" plan with different levels. Shokuhou-senpai is the mastermind of the "Brain Wave Synchronization Experiment", so naturally she needs to participate in this test to collect data.

The main content is to initially test the stability and output power of brain wave synchronization, the information scale during data exchange, the reliability of the instrument, and the degree of synchronization in the experiment. Of course, there is also the assessment and control of risks.

Having said that, in addition to Natsume Sonoko, the deputy brain, there are two other people with great abilities participating in this experiment, but Natsume Sonoko alone is enough for the test.

Even the contingency plan for the formal experiment will be based on the results obtained from Natsume Sonoko's test this time, and will not deliberately take into account the increase in the number of two people with great abilities.

After all, according to the original experimental design, the task of the two powerful people was to help Natsume Sonoko share the pressure, not to actively increase the output power of the 'multi-ability calculation mode'.

"Hey, Mr. Kiyama is still so serious."

"Can't you give me a break? It's really tiring to climb the stairs just now."

Natsume Sonoko secretly stuck out her tongue, with a hint of sarcasm in her tone, but she nodded immediately without any hesitation.

Mr. Kiyama is undoubtedly a man of action and swiftness. Whether he was spreading the Fantasy Hand or starting a company to produce drugs now, his actions are so fast that it's hard to keep up.

Natsume Sonoko didn't really dislike this, but she thought it would be best if there was a little space left for people to rest.

However, in comparison, the new medicines produced by Mr. Kiyama to improve the current situation of students have already been used in Zhachuan Middle School, and the second-generation medicines are also being developed with all their efforts. However, Natsume Sonoko is still at the stage of writing letters of advice, and her ability to act is completely not on the same level.

"Hehe, Natsume-san, the teacher is just that kind of person."

"Because of the excessive focus on actual efficiency, people often lack the ability to interact with others and daily life. When working, they even think that sleep is unnecessary. I heard that they used to take off their clothes on the street without any scruples, thinking that wasting extra time looking for a dressing room is an inefficient thing."

"According to the teacher, if you want to conduct an experiment that even ensures the safety of the test subjects, you must pay more attention to efficiency and work harder than others. I agree with this, but I can't go to such an extreme extent."

Coming close to Natsume Sonoko, Kihara Nayuta whispered softly in the girl's ear.

The height difference between the two people is not much, both are stable at about 1.4 meters. When they get together, they look like two elementary school girls whispering.

And it seems that due to the recent high frequency of email exchanges, the relationship between the two has already surpassed the stage of initial acquaintance. Not only have they exchanged phone numbers, they even know the location of each other's dormitories.

However, what made Natsume Sonoko feel a little envious was that because the school where Kihara Nayuta was studying was closed down, she was the only one living in the entire dormitory building.

Although there is no student cafeteria like Tokiwadai, there is no shortage of water, electricity, and daily dormitory management, and the living conditions are already extremely superior.

If students could only live in the dormitories under their own school, she would have wanted to move in and live with the school.

However, Kihara Nayuta did not have the same idea as Natsume Sonoko. In her opinion, it was the source of her inner uneasiness. It was not until Banri and the others woke up that the uneasiness of being the only one left finally disappeared.

"Of course I know that."

"Also, Kihara-san, thank you so much for coming to help."

An embarrassed expression appeared on Natsume Sonoko's face, as if she had asked the other party for help many times without realizing it.

It was the same this time. Natsume Sonoko felt that Kihara-san might be able to help, so she naturally asked him for help. The previous connection between her and Reiko was cut off by Kihara Nayuta and Kiyama-sensei together.

Obviously, the two of them had just met for a short time, but the other party never refused every time, which made Natsume Sonoko, a shameless little expert who liked to ask others for help, blush.

Thinking about it this way, it was really irrational for me to compare Shirai and the other person just because they had some similarities.

She also has twin ponytails, is also a member of the Discipline Committee, and is also overly enthusiastic, but it is obvious that she is a very different person from Shirai.

"No need to thank me."

"I am actually happy that Natsume-san thought of me."

The girl with golden twin ponytails suddenly became nervous, clutching her white coat with one hand, and spoke in a coy manner.

By the way, should I tell Natsume-san that I have applied for the position of director of the Daidoji Group's experimental institute?

Although she did not expect to get the job with just a resume, she was still quite confident about entering the interview. After all, she listed her work experience in five or six well-known research institutions on her resume.

If she could get that job, she would be able to spend time with Natsume-san on a regular basis.

In fact, her opinion of Natsume-san has always been in a somewhat weird state.

The Natsume Sonoko in front of her not only saved Banri and the others from their slumber, fulfilling all the things she had fantasized about in her heart, but also joined the Discipline Committee like herself to protect the city.

As long as she pays attention to the other person, she seems to be able to see the person she most desires to become.

She really cared about him and wanted to know more about the girl in front of her. Kihara Nayuta's heart was beating wildly.

But after hesitating for a while, Kihara Nayuta decided to keep it secret for the time being and wait until he officially got the job.

"Eh."

Natsume Sonoko smiled awkwardly, and then a sense of inexplicable pressure suddenly surged in her heart.

Was my thanks rejected? And why was there this heavy pressure?

Taking a deep breath to get rid of the strange feeling from her head, Natsume Sonoko tried to stay calm, thinking that this was probably some kind of overly humble polite expression.
