Temperature Control in Academy City

"Third place, don't be too proud too early. I didn't lose to you." Mai Ye Shenli said disdainfully.

"I understand. Next, I will defeat you thoroughly." Senior Misaka's face became more serious.

"Mugi, there's a call from above."

At this time, Franda walked carefully to Mai Ye Shen Li's side and handed the mobile phone to Mai Ye Shen Li.

"No time, let them stay aside."

"It's about Takitsubo and Kinuhata. Something happened to them." Frenda continued.

At this time, Mai Ye Shenli calmed down a little, picked up the phone and started talking to the person on the other end.

"Let's go." After hanging up the phone, Mai Ye Shenli took a deep breath and said to Flanda.

Flanda threw several powerful bombs from her hands, and suddenly the container yard was filled with smoke and dust. When the smoke and dust dissipated, the two "props" had disappeared.

“He actually left.”

The iron sand wrapped around Misaka-senpai's body began to disperse, and she looked at the duo of "tools" who suddenly left in some confusion.

However, Senior Misaka was not careless at all, because there was a monster next to her. Although it had fought alongside her before, it was still untrustworthy.

"Who the hell are you?" Senior Misaka looked towards the monster nearby.

"Hello, Misaka-san." The monster began to speak in an unpleasant tone.

In the research institute, Kimura Haruo's eyes finally returned to normal, turning from blood red back to their original black eyes.

He closed his eyes gently and regained his consciousness a little, then slowly stood up and staggered down the laboratory, just in time to meet Natsume Sonoko at the stairs.

"Teacher Kiyama, are you okay?" Natsume Sonoko said with some concern while holding Kiyama Haruo.

"Banri and the others were taken away." Kiyama Haruki said weakly, but his hands were firmly grasping Natsume Sonoko's shoulders.

"Mr. Kiyama, Banri and the others are fine now. They will be back soon."

Natsume Sonoko hurriedly explained and told Kiyama Haruo what had just happened.

Upon hearing the news that Banri and the others were rescued, Kiyama Haruki finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his originally tense expression relaxed.

About ten minutes later, an armored vehicle drove to a place not far from the institute.

Security guard Yoizumikawa-sensei specially sent back the kidnapped Banri and the others.

As soon as the door opened, Shirai jumped out of the armored vehicle and looked around for any trace of Misaka-senpai.

At this time, Senior Misaka also returned to the research institute and kept apologizing to Doctor Hades because she made the research institute a mess.

"Misaka-san, you don't need to apologize for this. Instead, you have done a lot for everyone." The Soul Chaser smiled kindly and shook his head to reject Misaka-san's apology.

"Really? Dr. Quata." Senior Misaka seemed a little anxious and accidentally blurted out what was in her mind.

As soon as I finished speaking, Misaka-senpai immediately realized something, her face flushed and she wanted to say something.

Just when Misaka-senpai was at a loss, Shirai-senpai suddenly appeared and hugged Misaka-senpai, rubbing her head against Misaka-senpai's neck.

"Sister, Heizi is worried sick about you."

"Kuroko! Come down here quickly." Senior Misaka exclaimed hurriedly.

.....

The kidnapping incident at the research institute came to an end. Banri and the others returned to the research institute safely, and the Tokiwadai trio also returned to the dormitory safely before lights out.

However, early the next morning, Natsume Sonoko had to go to the security building to make case records, along with Shirai and Uiharu, but Misaka-senpai didn't need to go.

"Natsume-san, you're saying that you learned about the kidnapping after receiving a call from your friend Uiharu."

Tetsujo Zuiri asked seriously, sitting opposite Natsume Sonoko and the others. Her expression was serious, and she was typing what Natsume Sonoko and the others said into the computer.

"That's right, I was just coming out of the Discipline Committee Branch when I received the call." Natsume Sonoko nodded, recalling the scene.

"Sorry, wait a moment, there is something wrong with my record just now." Teacher Tetsujo Zuiri, who was sitting opposite, suddenly became flustered, as if he found that he had filled in the record in the wrong place.

It took more than an hour for several people to finally complete the recording.

After coming out of the security building, Natsume Sonoko sighed secretly. A whole morning was wasted like this. Wasting time is equal to wasting money. When she thought about it this way, her loss was actually quite huge.

And because of the need to record cases, the discipline committee members of Branch 177 and the temporary discipline committee members both skipped half a day today.

"Natsume-san, Banri and the others will undergo the suppression procedure tomorrow at noon, right?" Shirai-san suddenly asked.

"Well, the suppression procedure has been completed, but the equipment still needs some time to repair." Natsume Sonoko said after thinking for a while.

"Then everyone come tomorrow at noon. I will prepare a large table of food to celebrate Banri and the others' recovery." Hatsuharu said with a smile.

Chapter 130: Let’s patrol!

District 10, Juvenile Detention Center.

Less than ten minutes’ drive from here, there are seven or eight high-risk research institutes. In some places, you can still see huge ruins left over from certain experiments. There is even the only cemetery in Academy City nearby.

At first glance, it looks no different from an ordinary prison. The Juvenile Reformatory is the equivalent of a special prison in Academy City.

Due to the large lakes nearby, the climate here is very pleasant and comfortable, and you can occasionally see birds roosting there.

At this time, several armed guards opened an iron gate and escorted the two girls to the interrogation room in the reformatory.

Due to the special nature of the prisoners here, the guards here are all professionals specially hired from outside by Academy City.

A few personnel have even participated in high-intensity wars and are adapted to fighting various enemies, and can fully cope with various emergencies in the juvenile reformatory.

I'm so tired, so alone

'Tool' member Takitsubo Rikou was walking in front, and behind her was Kinuhata Shuai who was yawning.

Unlike ordinary students, they did not feel depressed or uncomfortable because of the environment here. Instead, they felt like they were home.

Takitsubo Rikou suddenly looked up and sensed a familiar figure the moment she stepped into the interrogation room.

"Mugi, you're finally here."

At first glance, Kinuaki saw Mai Ye Shen Li sitting on the chair in the interrogation room, with a middle-aged man in a suit next to her.

"Number four, the parole work for Kinuhata Saiai and Takitsubo Rikou has been completed. Since it involves the superficial law enforcement departments of Academy City, we cannot release them directly." The middle-aged man bowed slightly, appearing a little humble.

"I understand." Mai Ye Shenli stood up, patted the non-existent layer of dust on his body, and looked at the middle-aged man with some disgust.

"If you have any further questions, you can contact me directly." As soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, he slowly took a few steps back, then turned around and left the interrogation room.

"These guys on the council are still as annoying as ever." Juanqi Zuiai glanced at the middle-aged man and suddenly spoke.

Although he behaved respectfully, the arrogance in his eyes could not be shaken off, as if he was a two-faced person.

"I'm sorry, Mugino, because of our relationship, I have caused so much trouble to everyone." Takitsubo Riko looked apologetic, her eyes slightly half closed, as if she hadn't woken up yet.

"It has nothing to do with you. I didn't expect there would be so many people messing around, but they should all be from the Railgun."

"That young lady from the greenhouse actually dared to cause trouble for me."

As Mai Ye Shenli spoke, his face immediately turned gloomy, his emotions showing on his face, and one could tell what he was thinking at a glance.

"Yes, those guys who attacked us were also from Tokiwadai." Kinuhata nodded slightly in agreement.

"What should we do next? Should we go and cause trouble for the Railgun and the others?"

"This is a personal grudge between me and the Railgun. I will go and solve it myself." Mai Ye Shenli said with a sigh.

"Mugi, I have great confidence in you."

...

There are more than ten instruments that look like life support chambers placed in front of me. These instruments are sealed and produce breathing gas through the internal oxygen production system.

The interior of the chamber is equipped with a sophisticated brain wave conversion device that can convert electrical signals and brain waves into one and achieve unity, and connect to the human brain through some devices similar to electrode patches.

All these instruments are controlled by the central computer in the laboratory, and even have access to some of the computing power of a supercomputer.

More than a dozen people including Edaseki Banri were already lying in these life support chambers, with brain wave converters on their heads. Before they knew it, about two hours had passed since the awakening procedure began.

Standing outside the glass wall, Natsume Sonoko raised her head and looked at the movement inside, with the shield armband of the discipline committee member on her shoulder, and her face became a little anxious as time passed.

Next to her were two official discipline committee members, Shirai and Hatsuharu, who were also leaning against the window to watch what was going on inside.

As for Misaka-senpai, she was using her abilities to ensure the stability of the supercomputer's operations on the first floor.

The circuits of the research institute have not been completely repaired yet, and the power consumption of the supercomputer has increased significantly after the repair. In order to ensure the smooth awakening, Senior Misaka volunteered to act as a generator.

Everyone was getting a little anxious waiting. The process that should have taken about a few dozen minutes to complete now took significantly longer.

However, the problem was not with the suppression program developed, but with the brain wave conversion device. These instruments were affected in yesterday's battle, and the efficiency of transmitting information dropped significantly, which also led to the current almost slow-motion awakening process.

"Hmm, so comfortable."

Just like taking a nap, Edaseki Banri stretched out his body inside the warehouse. Just when he was about to stand up, his head hit the outer wall of the warehouse, and a small bump immediately appeared on his head.

Edaseki Banri touched the bump on his head, and a faint blush immediately appeared on his face, as if he noticed a group of people smiling at him not far away.

The outer wall made of tempered glass opened quickly, and the fresh air from the outside rushed in at once. Edaseki Banri sat up again and skillfully dismantled the replacement device on his head.

"teacher."

Seeing Kiyama Haruo walking into the experimental area, Edasaki Banri immediately showed a happy expression, slowed down his hand movements, and waved to Kiyama Haruo from afar.

Haruo Kimura looked a little tired. She hadn't slept for several days in preparation for this moment.

Kiyama Haruo half-knelt beside Edasaki Banri, helping to remove the various wires and electrode patches on Banri's head. Unexpectedly, just after removing half of them, he hugged Banri's shoulders and sobbed quietly.

"Teacher, what's wrong with you?" Edaseki Banri was a little at a loss, and gently stroked Kiyama Haruo's back with both hands.

"Banri, the teacher is fine, I was just a little too happy." Kimiya Haruki stood up again and suppressed the emotions on his face.

"Ah, it's Sonoko-san, as well as Shirai-san and Misaka-san." Edaseki Banri looked behind Kiyama Haruki and saw Natsume Sonoko and others who had just opened the door of the laboratory and entered.

"Why does Banri only call you sister?" Shirai complained again.

"Banri, there's me too."

Utsuharu, who was walking at the end, pouted her lips slightly and rubbed Edasaki Banri's head, looking a little unhappy.

"Hehe, of course there's also Uiharu-san. I like Uiharu-san's cooking the best."

Edasaki Banri suddenly swallowed as if he remembered something, and his stomach also made a gurgling sound.

Banri's face turned even redder. He took off the device on his head and put on a headband, revealing his smooth forehead, which looked like a huge red apple.

At this time, Edaseki Banri also began to look around, as if he was looking for someone, and soon he found the trace of Harukami Kimie.

Harukami was pushing a small cart with a huge fruit cake on it, which was even bigger than the one that Natsume Sonoko had brought before.

This cake was made by Harukami himself. It took him many days of learning from Hatsuharu to successfully complete it. It looks very good.

As expected, everyone has the skill to bake cakes, so I just need to be responsible for eating it. When I thought about this, my mood suddenly became good.

A certain Natsume Sonoko stood in the crowd, thinking silently about something in her head, her eyes constantly looking at Harukami Kimie.

"I'm starting."

Misaka-senpai was in charge of cutting the cake. Her superb precision was also reflected in the way the cake was divided. Each cut was made at just the right place, resulting in each piece looking almost the same size. Even the fruits on top looked the same amount.

After eating the cake, everyone felt a little unsatisfied, but fortunately, there was a big dinner prepared by Chuchun, which made people inexplicably look forward to it.

After lunch, Natsume Sonoko touched her stomach with some distress, as she seemed to have eaten too much.

A girl with a ball of meatball hair, who was constantly deciding between taking a walk to digest her food after a meal or staying still and waiting for her stomach to digest the food automatically, discovered a mad scientist named Haruo Kiyama, who was sitting on the windowsill in a daze.

"Mr. Kiyama, are you thinking about Banri and the others? Since Banri and the others have recovered, I think you should go to the hospital for a check-up. The dark circles under your eyes are almost as big as a panda's."

Natsume Sonoko, who always likes to meddle in other people's business or to be more helpful, walked to the side of Kimura Haruo. She also had dark circles under her eyes, but Kimura's were a bit exaggerated.

"Going to the hospital? Maybe we should find another time." Kimiya Haruo came back to his senses and looked at Natsume Sonoko, wondering what he was thinking.

"Um, Mr. Kiyama, will Banri and the others be able to be discharged from the hospital soon?" asked Natsume Sonoko.

"We need to observe them for a while. If there are no abnormal reactions within three days, Banri and the others will be able to integrate into normal life smoothly. When we find a school that is willing to accept them, they can all go to school."

Kimura Haruo spoke, gently brushing away the floating hair in front of his forehead.

We left the institute around one or two in the afternoon.

Hatsuharu stayed in the research institute. She still needed to take care of Banri and the others for a few days, but after three days, Hatsuharu would be able to return to her normal life.

This also put Natsume Sonoko, who had only worked as a discipline committee member for two or three days, at risk of unemployment. Her plan to find someone seemed to be facing failure as soon as it began.
