Temperature Control in Academy City

Making a big cross with both hands in front of him, a certain space movement immediately rejected Natsume Sonoko's request, with a hint of unquestionable attitude on his face.

"Every discipline committee member must have the determination to fight against the evil in Academy City and the perseverance to protect the safety of all students day after day." Shirai said seriously.

This made a certain temperature control that he took for granted hesitate, and suddenly he was choked and speechless.

I wonder if some ignorant civilian students are referring to me? Shirai-san is really rude. However, Misaka-senpai's actions also seem a little shy.

Natsume Sonoko's plan encountered a huge setback before it even began, but sometimes, Natsume Sonoko doesn't give up so easily.

"Shirai-san's words don't count. We should ask for Gufa Meiwei-senpai's opinion."

Natsume Sonoko thought of a senior of Shirai's class. Senior Gufa was much easier to talk to than Shirai, and just happened to be able to suppress Shirai.

"Oh, that's not impossible. Sometimes we will invite students to experience being a member of the Discipline Committee. This is also a way for the public to get to know the Discipline Committee better."

Senior sister Gufa Meiwei on the other end of the phone was wearing a facial mask and soaking in the public bath with a comfortable look on her face. Her hands were resting on the edge of the bathhouse, and her whole body was in a relaxed state. Not far away, there was a full can of Musashi milk.

"Eh, this is the first time I've heard of this kind of activity?" Hatsuharu asked with some confusion on her face.

"Yes, Hatsuharu, look here." Natsume Sonoko pointed to a few photos she had found. These were photos of the Discipline Committee Activity Day of a certain elementary school.

"There is indeed such an activity, but it is for elementary school students, and Natsume is already a junior high school student, and the purpose is to recruit new discipline committee members." Shirai held his forehead.

"But Senior Gufa has already agreed." Natsume Sonoko said

"But you can only experience being a discipline committee member when you don't have time in early spring, and you have to listen to me, your senior, during these days." Shirai said reluctantly.

"Okay, okay, Shirai-san, I'll listen to you." Natsume Sonoko smiled shyly, and then stared blankly at the sky.

"Well, Natsume-san, you better do your best." Hatsuharu encouraged with a smile, saying that Natsume-san might be very suitable to be a discipline committee member.

.....

Early in the morning, after finishing his own housework, Natsume put on the discipline committee armband and got on the express train to the discipline committee branch 177.

Even though Natsume Sonoko is only a trial discipline committee member, she still has the right to wear the discipline committee member's shield armband. This is Shirai's spare armband, which is temporarily lent to Natsume Sonoko for use.

"Here we are."

After a not-too-long period of space movement, Shirai let go of Natsume Sonoko's arm and patted someone who seemed a little absent-minded.

“So this is what it feels like to wear an armband.”

Natsume Sonoko stroked the shield armband on her arm with some care. The feeling seemed to be quite good.

"Natsume-san, the first requirement of being a discipline committee member is that as long as you wear this armband, you are always on duty, no matter where you are or what you are doing."

"So, there is no such thing as non-working time for the Discipline Committee members. We must start working seriously from now on."

Shirai-san pulled Natsume Sonoko over to Uiharu's desk and pointed at the discipline committee member's office computer.

After Natsume Sonoko sat down, Shirai-san opened the map software of the entire Academy City. There was not only a version for discipline committee members, but also a version for security guards.

"Natsume-san, part of your job is to answer reports of crimes and check various emails."

"If a case occurs, you must tell me the location and specific circumstances of the crime through wireless communication, and classify the case information and make a backup afterward. At the same time, you will also be responsible for observation and monitoring to ensure the safety of more than 200 public areas near Zhachuan Middle School." Shirai carefully explained Hatsuharu's work content.

She was very confident in letting Hatsuharu handle these tasks, but she was not so confident about a girl with a bun who looked a little silly.

With this in mind, Shirai explained it again in detail, explaining every detail.

"I'm going to start patrolling. After the holidays start, the work of the discipline committee becomes very complicated. Natsume-san, you have to work hard too. If you encounter any problems, you can ask Senior Gufa. She will be here soon."

Shirai-san gave a few more instructions, just like a parent who keeps giving instructions on various things before leaving.

"I will carry a positioning device with me. Natsume-san can confirm my location through the red dot on the map, and this headset can communicate with me in real time. It has a microphone and communication equipment on it."

"Okay, I got it. Don't worry, Shirai-san." Nodding vigorously, Natsume Sonoko vowed to do a good job.

Just after Shirai-san went out and the door closed, Natsume Sonoko felt an inexplicable sense of novelty in her heart.

Leaning back comfortably in her seat, Natsume Sonoko looked a little excited. She carefully put on her headphones, turned on the switch, and tried to adjust the volume of the microphone.

"Hello, Shirai-san, can you hear me?" Natsume Sonoko said curiously.

"Is the case coming so soon? Where is the specific address? How many criminals are there?" Shirai's voice came from the headset. At this time, Shirai had left the Discipline Committee Branch 177 and came to the nearby commercial street.

"Ah, um, I was just adjusting the volume." Natsume Sonoko said a little embarrassedly.

"..."

Clicking the mouse, Natsume Sonoko switched the images of various surveillance cameras. There were dense groups of students everywhere, and various monitors everywhere.

Natsume Sonoko silently memorized the locations of these monitors and compared them with the corresponding locations of each monitor.

After about half an hour, Natsume Sonoko could easily identify the location of each camera without having to look at the corresponding location of the camera every time she switched.

As always, Natsume Sonoko gets the hang of things quickly, worthy of me.

Chapter 121: Report Phone

Zhachuan Middle School is located on the edge of the 7th School District and very close to the 18th School District.

Both school districts have a good academic atmosphere and are densely populated with educational institutions. In addition, the branch of the Security Guard's Seventh School District is located nearby, so the public security at Zhachuan Middle School is not bad.

After switching the positions of more than 200 cameras, he did not find his target from the huge data stream, and even failed to discover any of the common crimes in Academy City. It can be said that there was no other unexpected gain during this time.

The camera was switched to automatic mode and began to rotate between more than two hundred positions. Natsume Sonoko half leaned back in her seat somewhat bored, staring at the computer screen as if she was watching a slide show.

Is this her job on weekdays in early spring? Natsume Sonoko seemed inexplicably absent-minded.

The work of the discipline committee member is really a bit boring. I don’t know how Shirai-san is doing, but it must be much more tiring to work outside than to sit in the branch office.

Natsume Sonoko stretched secretly and sat up, waiting in front of the computer with her chin on her hand out of curiosity, and casually opened the page of the Seventh School District's global surveillance system.

The scope of monitoring of the discipline committee is usually the area in charge, but they can also log in to the monitoring page of other branches in the seventh school district. However, they need the secret key of each branch, but it seems that Hatsuharu has them all...

However, the several discipline committee branches and monitoring systems of the Seventh District School Garden seem to be independently formed and are not included in this system.

Someone exited the surveillance page of Zhachuan Middle School, then clicked into the surveillance area of ​​Guansuo Middle School, switching between the cameras of various schools.

"Hello, this is the Discipline Committee 177th Branch."

Natsume Sonoko took a break from her busy work and answered the phone ringing beside her.

"Are you the Discipline Committee member? I saw a group of bad boys attacking a junior high school student."

"Okay, can you tell me the number of criminals and their specific addresses? I will immediately call the nearby discipline committee member to come and deal with it." Natsume Sonoko suddenly became alert and answered her first report call seriously.

"I know. The incident happened on the overpass near the Seventh District Exchange Plaza. The victim was a junior high school student with brown hair. There were about ten perpetrators."

"Copy that. Overpass near the Communication Plaza?"

A high school student with brown hair, could it be Misaka-senpai? But we can't be so absolute, maybe it's someone else, after all, brown hair is very common in Academy City.

Natsume Sonoko quickly checked the address, and it seemed that it was not within the scope of Sagawa Middle School, but near a high school called the private Sakura Academy, which was a relatively rare high school in the Seventh School District.

As for why she received the report call from there, Natsume Sonoko felt that it should be the credit of Shirai and Hatsuharu and the others. After all, Shirai seemed to be running around the Seventh School District, and occasionally he would act across districts.

Connected to the cameras near the overpass, Natsume Sonoko cut these cameras to the screen at the same time, showing the scene of the overpass from various angles.

"It's not Misaka-senpai, it's someone else, and it looks like the other person is in danger."

After hanging up the call, Natsume Sonoko immediately contacted Shirai-san on the other end of the line. Shirai-san sounded a little out of breath, as if he had just solved some incidents.

"Hello, is this Shirai-san? This is Natsume Sonoko." Natsume Sonoko put the microphone to her lips and said.

"Natsume-san, if there is nothing going on, don't call me casually. It will distract me." Shirai-san's impolite voice came from the other side.

At this time, Shirai was handing the balloon in his hand to an elementary school student with a hint of helplessness on his face.

"Be sure to hold it carefully next time." Shirai half-knelt down and said in a friendly manner.

"Thank you, sis. I understand." The elementary school student with pigtails nodded vigorously and ran back to her friends.

"Mr. Shirai, a vicious incident has occurred on the overpass near the Communication Plaza. There are ten culprits and we need to deal with them immediately." Natsume Sonoko recalled how Hatsuharu handled the case before, and said with a serious face.

As if hearing Natsume Sonoko's serious tone, Shirai was stunned for a moment, then started running.

Following a spatial fluctuation, Shirai-san stepped into another dimension.

"Natsume-san, where are you on the overpass?" Shirai-san pushed her headphones inward so that she could hear what Natsume Sonoko was saying more clearly.

In order to save communication time, Shirai did not waste a moment. When he connected with Shirai again, the red dot of Shirai on the map had moved thousands of meters away.

"Excuse me, let me check." Natsume Sonoko was a little flustered and hurriedly checked the surveillance camera.

"It's probably in the center of the overpass, about three hundred meters away from the entrance on the communication square side. There is a seven or eight meter high warning sign nearby that says be careful of slippery ground." Natsume Sonoko estimated the approximate distance. Natsume Sonoko often went to this place and knew the approximate length of the overpass.

"I understand." Shirai said.

Natsume Sonoko only heard a gust of wind blowing through the other end of the headphones, and it seemed that Shirai-san was high in the sky. Then she heard Shirai-san's familiar catchphrase.

"Please stop for a moment."

"This is the Discipline Committee."

At this moment, on the monitor, a discipline committee member wearing a short skirt and shaking twin ponytails appeared out of nowhere and stepped on the head of a bad boy with both feet, making him unable to stand up.

The bad boy seemed to want to resist, but Shirai teleported him and threw him onto a signboard several meters high, where he was hung up.

"Someone with the ability to move across space?"

"I remember now. There is a member of the Judgment Committee who, after catching a criminal, will torture the criminal physically and mentally until he can never recover. He is known as the most vicious and terrifying spatial teleportation user in the entire Academy City."

A bad boy was so scared when he saw Shirai appear that he immediately fell to the ground with a terrified expression on his face and screamed loudly.

"Is there such a legend?"

"I've heard that, Boss. It's absolutely true. Let's run away quickly."

Less than ten seconds after Shirai-san appeared on the stage, these bad boys immediately stopped paying attention to the brown-haired girl. Instead, they looked desperate and staggered towards the exit at the other end of the overpass, not even caring about their own companions.

"Mr. Shirai, I didn't expect you to be so famous." Natsume Sonoko on the other side obviously also heard the conversation between these bad boys and almost sprayed a mouthful of salt soda onto the computer. Fortunately, there were no drinks nearby.

"are you OK."

Shirai ignored the girl with the bun who was making sarcastic remarks and started to show concern for the brown-haired girl who had just been surrounded.

"Thank you very much."

The brown-haired girl stood there calmly, holding a camera in her hand, filming exactly what happened when Shirai scared away the bad boy.

Chapter 122 Journalists

The two middle school students, who both had brown hair, looked at each other, and there was suddenly an inexplicable awkwardness in the air.

"Um, are you also from Tokiwadai Middle School?" Shirai looked at the girl in front of her. The girl was wearing the school uniform of Tokiwadai Middle School and her back was full of rare photographic equipment.

"Nice to meet you. My name is Ranko Hata. I'm a journalist and a second-year student at Tokiwadai Junior High School."

The girl named Hata Ranko bent forward slightly and nodded, and her brown hair suddenly began to fall down.

"Don't be nervous, classmate. As I just said, I am a journalist. I use this wig to hide my identity. It makes sense, right?"

The girl named Ranko Hata took off the brown wig on her head, revealing her short light green hair.

Shirai-san and Natsume Sonoko on the other side of the surveillance camera both showed surprised expressions, and their faces looked a little strange.

"That makes sense." Shirai nodded with some difficulty, looking at her senior with some surprise.

"So who were those bad boys just now..." asked Shirai.

"I was just filming some things at their secret base, and they blocked me here just as I came out." Hata Ranko shrugged with an innocent look.

"Really? You are really dedicated."

"Of course. As a journalist, I have to let the public know the truth about Academy City." Hata Ranko's face was illuminated by the sunlight, full of the light of justice.

After getting the delinquent boy down from the high warning sign and handing the only caught delinquent boy over to the nearby security guards, Shirai-san left.

After Shirai left, the green-haired Tokiwadai girl suddenly laughed and carefully checked the contents of her camera.

Feeling as if she had seen this green-haired girl somewhere before, Natsume Sonoko was suddenly stunned and opened a small group of an urban legend investigation club.

I clicked on the avatar of 'Miss Balance Beam', which was a close-up photo from the front. Looking closely, she was indeed a bit similar to the girl with green hair, but some parts seemed different.

According to senior Amakusa You and the others, this senior is proficient in makeup, disguise, photography and sketching. She can hang upside down on the eaves of a building a hundred meters in the air without any protection and remain calm while filming content that she thinks is valuable.

At the same time, this senior is also a level 4 vector system user, but she can only change the direction of gravity, which is not very comprehensive. However, she can also walk on the glass walls of various buildings as if they were walking on flat ground.

Sometimes he can even walk upside down on the ceiling, and even fly with ease, but it is not clear whether he can change the gravity of others.
