Temperature Control in Academy City

Although the other party is unlikely to seek death in this situation, as someone who has read the other party's memory, Shokuhou Misaki still chose to be on the safe side.

Not knowing how to express her inner feelings and filled with regret for the experiment, the annoying adult who had doted on Mitsuari Aiyu unconditionally for the past period of time, no one knew whether the other party would do something unexpected.

However, before the other party could react, the stars in the middle-aged woman's eyes suddenly disappeared, leaving only an ordinary adult standing there in a daze, unable to understand the situation.

"You're leaving just like that?"

Shaking his head in silence, Hojo Shizugo suddenly felt that this was a bit absurd.

As a person who has been controlled and kidnapped in the strict sense, is it really okay to just leave him in front of the hospital?

However, Hojo Shizugo had a strong sense of self-management and quickly adapted to the reality of being abandoned at the hospital door.

In order to maintain the setting where she falls into Shokuhou Misaki's hands, she can no longer use her original mobile phone number and place of residence, and she also has to give up her job at a university hospital.

I'm so sorry, Dr. Ghost.

Even my younger sister Cai Ling cannot be contacted for the time being, for fear that the little Mi Yi who is at school will find out something is wrong.

People with psychological abilities like Mi Yi are extremely sensitive in this regard. At least they will simulate the real feeling of being kidnapped in any situation that can be associated with themselves.

"Just think of it as a rare moment of willfulness from a useless adult like me."

Hojo Shizugo touched the exaggerated scar that spanned half of his face. His face, which could hardly express emotions, remained calm. Then, without hesitation, he walked into the shadow of a nearby alley.

"Ah sneeze~~"

"If you secretly lock someone up somewhere without going through proper procedures, it is illegal in this city."

“Only those who don’t know me would secretly imagine me as a lawless and shady character.”

Staying at the edge of the playground, Shokuhou Misaki, who had successfully skipped class, rubbed her nose, staring at the youthful sports scenes in the distance, and muttered to herself helplessly.

Although she did keep watch over quite a few noteworthy people, secret room confinement was simply not her style.

Moreover, rather than calling it supervision, it is more accurate to say it is monitoring and preventing, just to prevent those young ladies from doing anything troublesome again.

Of course, this kind of supervision is divided into different levels. Those who need to be kept close to their side, such as Mitsuari Aiyu, are probably at the highest level. Most people only pay attention to her occasionally.

However, this did bring about some unexpected benefits, namely, making the Tokiwadai campus much more harmonious and peaceful.

At least until we are sure of defeating Shokuhou Misaki, minor conflicts will be suppressed to an extremely low level.

...

Today, Tokiwadai Junior High School is as peaceful as ever.

First-year student Natsume Sonoko isolated the girl who had just skipped class and returned to school in class, and the queen of the school got a new follower with chocolate-brown hair.

If we consider that the two things mentioned above are about the same person, some inexplicable gossip may spread in the school again.

"I didn't expect you to take the initiative to get into a conflict with others at school. This is probably the first time since you started school."

"Besides skipping classes, is there anything else that's different about that girl?"

The last class in the afternoon is over, and it’s almost time for club activities.

Shirai Kuroko, who was already wearing the discipline committee armband, stuffed all the textbooks on the table into her schoolbag, then raised her head and looked at the girl next to her.

The weight of the books combined with the strong material that is strong enough to withstand bullets, Tokiwadai's standard school bags can sometimes be used as a powerful weapon to punish criminals. It is completely different from those flashy brand-name bags.

"Where...what's the difference?"

"Besides, skipping classes is already a serious matter and it's not good. She's a bad girl, a bad girl."

Natsume Sonoko's hands holding the textbook trembled slightly, and she finally managed a not-so-pretty smile.

It was obviously only the first time that he "bullied" a classmate, but he immediately felt unprecedented psychological pressure, and his smiling face became increasingly stiff.

I just did something slightly different from usual, and everyone around me started to pay attention to it. This is probably the side effect of being popular.

Although it is far from reaching the terrifying level of "The eighth one turns out to be a girl who likes to bully others", if the target is a bad girl, this feeling will be greatly weakened, but it has at least reached the point where it makes people's heart beat faster.

"really?"

Shirai Kuroko narrowed his eyes and took a few steps forward, looking up and down at the girl with the bun suspiciously.

No matter how you look at it, Natsume-san doesn't seem like the type of guy who would worry about bad girls.

Chapter 760 Management Committee

The perfect image of being well-behaved and obedient encountered some setbacks, which made the bun-haired girl, who always carried a certain idol burden, breathe heavily. She still cared a lot about her image in everyone's eyes.

The air near the nasal cavity forms a colorless vortex under the crazy squeezing of the lung muscles, just like the girl's mood, which is ups and downs and makes people at a loss.

"what?"

Puffing up her cheeks and uttering the universal word she had just learned, Natsume Sonoko tilted her head an octave to the left.

Although I'm still not very good at lying, pretending to be stupid is undoubtedly much easier.

As long as you try to use the invisible power of expressions and interjections to replace your clumsy speeches, you will be able to handle the hell ahead with ease.

Just like a mackerel girl who likes to bang her head and stick out her tongue, she is so cute that she will definitely be forgiven if she does anything wrong.

"Huh? What's your reaction?"

"Sure enough, there must be some shameful secret."

Shirai-san immediately showed an expression of "as expected", with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he put his little hand close to the girl's ear, deliberately covering his voice.

too weird.

Today, Natsume is like a turtle running to the beach to lay eggs, full of tension about the possibility of being hunted by natural enemies.

This kind of tension obviously shouldn't appear in a person with super powers, so there is only one reason: the second-year girl who returned to school has more problems. This is the intuition of the discipline committee member.

Of course, the discipline committee member's intuition doesn't always work, and she has no way of understanding her elder sister's thoughts.

Recently, my elder sister started to go out secretly again, and she only returned to her normal state a day or two ago.

Although Shirai is really worried about her elder sister, she will not hinder her actions. From beginning to end, she will unconditionally choose to support her elder sister.

In contrast, she doesn't pay much attention to the movements of the girl next door with a bun. Instead, she is happy that the other party doesn't have time to harass her elder sister.

However, if the other party really encountered any trouble, she would not shirk responsibility.

"....Anyway, Shirai-san, don't worry about this."

"Don't you have work to do at the weapons exhibition? Teacher Huang Quanchuan specifically asked you to be there on time. If you are late, the teachers will be angry."

The expression on her face became more and more embarrassed, and Natsume Sonoko shook her head hurriedly.

Then he seemed to have thought of a good idea, and pushed Shirai Kuroko's back with both hands, staggering and trying to push the other person out of the classroom.

"Although what you said is quite right, these are two completely different things."

Shirai Kuroko felt a strong push on his back from behind and spoke in doubt while thinking.

"By the way, did Shirai-san go out with that Misaka Misuzu auntie yesterday? I think Misaka-san was there too."

"I didn't see you when I came back in the evening."

Natsume Sonoko forced a smile and immediately continued.

If you don't want to get entangled with Shirai-san, bringing up Misaka-senpai is definitely the best way.

As one of the girls who knows Shirai best, Natsume Sonoko knows the weakness of brown-haired twintails best.

"Of course, I spent a wonderful day with my elder sister and mother."

"It's too late for you to interfere."

An unusual blush suddenly appeared on her innocent face. Shirai stretched out a few fingers and shyly tucked up her drooping hair. After a while, she proudly raised her head in front of the girl.

Even if I am a person with super powers like my elder sister, I am definitely the one who is recognized by my mother.

As long as he can control the heart of his mother, his elder sister will be in his grasp.

Moreover, in order to plan yesterday's event, she did not sleep well the whole night. Staying up late is the second biggest enemy for ladies after fat.

"Ah, I almost forgot that Onee-sama is still waiting for me."

"Kuroko has made an appointment with Onee-sama to go to the weapons exhibition together."

"How could you be so lax! Let onee-sama wander around alone in a place full of people and teenage hormones!"

Her expression suddenly became anxious, and she paced around for a while, then rubbed her big head with some regret.

A pair of big eyes then glared at the expressionless girl with a bun, and not wanting to waste any more time, he waved at her and disappeared on the spot.

"Mother-in-law?"

Natsume Sonoko's eyelids twitched slightly as she repeated the word that Shirai-san had just blurted out.

Misaka-senpai's situation seems to be getting worse. Has it developed to the point where she is harassing her family members?

Fortunately, she doesn't have such troubles at all. Except for Shirai, her friends are undoubtedly much more normal.

If you think about it this way, she's living a pretty happy life.

"Sorry, sorry, is this Natsume-san?"

"I just saw you chatting with Shirai-san, so I came over to interrupt you."

Just as Natsume Sonoko was standing there blankly, a strange girl wearing glasses suddenly walked over from not far away.

"Senior, what's the matter?"

Natsume Sonoko was slightly stunned and spoke after a while.

The other party should be a senior in the second or third year.

"Nice to meet you. I'm Nozomi Ichijo from the third year. I'm here to discuss the student council election."

"According to the election rules provided by the school council, the school's discipline committee members and some non-factional students will form the school's election management committee. I saw Natsume-san and Shirai-san chatting before, and I wondered if they were about joining the election committee."

Ichijo Xi pushed the frame of his glasses nervously. Many people seemed unable to remain calm when facing people with super powers.

"Hey, has Shirai-san joined?"

Natsume Sonoko asked in surprise.

Although she had been paying attention to the election, she had no idea what the management committee was.

But it’s not surprising that Shirai-san joined, as he is probably the type of person who wants to uphold fairness and justice the most.

"In fact, Shirai-san is a key member of this election management committee. Usually, the previous student council directly delegates this to the discipline committee."

"However, since many discipline committee members also belong to factions, students who are both discipline committee members and non-factional members are naturally the main choice."

The senior student organized her words carefully for a while before she began to speak.

However, there have been cases in the past where all members of the Discipline Committee have joined a faction, so there will be a tendency to select committee members from the faction members who did not participate in the election.

If this point is not met, the candidates will be selected from students without faction.

Chapter 761: Reasons for Losing

In Tokiwadai, the election management committee usually has three to seven people.

The exact number of people is not fixed, the only requirement is to keep it an odd number to prevent bad situations like tie votes in case of disagreement.

However, we cannot expect these girls who were put together in a hurry to have high manners. Many of those invited are not even clear about the specific rules, and even the discipline committee members are the type who are forced to do things without any preparation.

The only thing that all of them have in common is that they are not affiliated with any faction. Whether or not they have been secretly wooed by a faction is not actually taken into consideration.

The actual role of this management committee is very clear. It exists to allow the various factions to exert their influence. The Tokiwadai Student Union election, which is like playing house, is actually just a game between factions to compete for the hearts and minds of the people.

Of course, this influence is neither good nor bad.

Since factional activities are very frequent in Tokiwadai School, one can come into contact with all kinds of faction members almost every day, which also leads to the faction's image being mixed in the minds of most non-factional students.

As long as the sampling range of those invited to the management committee is expanded to include the entire school, there will rarely be unanimous opinions, and a balance will be maintained overall.

Simply put, the Election Management Committee is, to some extent, a platform for those invited to express their likes and dislikes, and deliberately targeting or actively defending a certain faction is actually allowed.

Just like the biggest faction in the school, the Shokuhou faction, they have an utterly negative impression in the minds of most students without factions, but occasionally there will be someone like the girl with the bun who is different and wholeheartedly supports her own Shokuhou-senpai.

However, we cannot judge things based solely on the likes and dislikes of students.

Even if the invited students are not clear about the specific rules, rules still exist. Any targeted likes and dislikes need to be within fixed rules to be truly implemented and affect the student union election.

This is the specialty of the Discipline Committee members, who carry out their activities almost every day under the rules of Academy City.
