Living your daily life in a shonen anime seems to be wrong.

"No no no..."

She blushed and shook her head, as if to merge into one with something...

"Big sister, you've been soaking for a long time, aren't you dizzy?"

No, no.

Shirai Kuroko's voice came from outside, and Misaka Mikoto quickly shook her head in denial.

Get up, dry yourself, and put on your pajamas.

After leaving the bathroom, I sat down at the vanity and started drying my hair with a hairdryer, still lost in thought.

merge into one...

In addition to the natural energy that Qiye mentioned...

Do we become one with nature?

Maybe.

a long time.

Misaka Mikoto, having dried her hair, lay on the bed.

"To merge into one...to sense and absorb things..."

I think I understand now.

Close your eyes and let your breathing gradually become steady.

Chapter 235: Seeing...

Natural energy.

A kind of ubiquitous, magical energy.

It is an invisible, intangible, and undetectable energy that can only be perceived and absorbed through sensory perception.

In short, it is an unscientific force.

There are still too many secrets about natural energy that Qi Ye has not fully understood. What he knows is only the tip of the iceberg.

But so far, he is the one who understands natural energy the most.

Natural energy can significantly enhance various basic human qualities, such as hearing, vision, speed, strength, perception, and recovery ability.

Even lifespan.

However, this point is still questionable. After all, in the ninja world, Jiraiya and Naruto Uzumaki can use natural energy, but their lifespan is not much different from that of ordinary people.

Perhaps it's because they haven't truly mastered natural energy?

It only senses and absorbs energy when needed; when not needed, there is no natural energy in the body.

For Shichiya, natural energy is like chakra is to a ninja—it's fundamental.

Let's leave that aside for now.

Although her face was flushed and she was very shy.

But after taking a few deep breaths, Saten Ruiko still took off her outer shrine maiden outfit and covered her private parts with her hands.

She felt very shy, her face turning as red as if it were about to bleed.

However, Shichiya felt nothing at all.

Once in research mode, Nanaya is a competent scientist, and the naked girl has no effect on him whatsoever.

These are the basic qualities of a researcher.

Otherwise, if someone has all sorts of ideas when they see a woman's body during research, they are a novice, an immature researcher, or even a completely unqualified individual.

Science must be rigorous.

If you let your mind wander while doing an experiment, how can you possibly do it well?

"Relax, go inside, remember not to think about anything, just sit in meditation, carefully sense, and leave the rest to me."

Qi Ye patted the girl's head.

However, the girl was not the same as he used to be; she wouldn't feel at ease just because someone touched her head, but instead blushed even more.

But thinking about my ideals, I decided to adjust my mood.

Then he nodded firmly.

"I see."

"Alright, let's go in."

"Yes."

……

Natural energy is everywhere.

At least Shichiya has not yet discovered a place where natural energy does not exist, whether it is the original world, the ninja world, or this world.

In the beginning of the world, he was the only one with the ability.

Since no other ability users have been discovered, it's unknown whether those ability users can also use natural energy like him.

In the ninja world, it could be used.

However, compared to Qiye, it is a very rudimentary method of application, and there is no need to pay too much attention to it.

In this world, no one uses natural energy anymore. Not only can those who develop their abilities not use it, but even those who awaken their Primal Stone abilities naturally cannot use it.

There isn't even a concept of natural energy.

But are people in this world truly unable to utilize natural energy?

No, that's not true.

Humans are a peculiar race, with endless mysteries surrounding their bodies.

More importantly, it's about mental strength.

Based on Qiye's observations and speculations, even if they are not ability users, everyone can use their mental power to some extent, even ordinary people.

Needless to say, those with various abilities...

Mental strength is something everyone possesses, so theoretically, as long as mental strength can continue to grow, everyone can become a mental ability user.

Although it's just theory.

However, it is certain that the stronger a person is, the stronger their perception will be, and the higher their resistance to various mental skills will be.

Unless you destroy your own spirit and soul like Orochimaru did.

Let's leave that aside for now.

Misaka Mikoto is very strong, after all, she is the third in Level 5, and her potential is not limited to that.

Although according to Academy City's research, Accelerator is the most likely to become a Level 6, that is only the most likely, and it does not mean that others cannot.

It's just that compared to Accelerator, the hope is even slimmer.

however……

Nanaya has a very high opinion of Misaka Mikoto.

Regardless of whether Misaka Mikoto can actually harm him, in Nanaya's opinion, she is the only Level 5 who can pose a threat to him.

The other seven nights didn't care.

Accelerator was beaten so badly he couldn't fight back, and Misaki Shokuhou was completely overwhelmed by his mental strength. The rest of them weren't worth watching.

All this is to prove Misaka Mikoto's special status.

Because of her special circumstances, Qi Ye sometimes doesn't mind telling her some concepts.

For example, natural energy.

Sensing, absorption.

These are the two most crucial points. If you can't sense it, you can't absorb it; if you can sense it, but your body and natural energy are not in harmony enough to absorb it, then it's all for nothing.

As for forgetting oneself and the world, and becoming one with nature.

That's just a state of being.

A state that some people may never reach, while others can enter it with ease.

In reality, for people with strong enough perception and a high enough degree of harmony with natural energy, whether or not they enter this state is not a big deal.

For example, Seven Nights.

What Qiye wanted to prove was simply whether the ability users in this world could absorb natural energy and thus become ability users like him.

As it turns out, it is possible.

However, it was not this point that Wannai Kinuho proved, nor that point that Saten Ruiko proved, nor that point that anyone else did.

It's Misaka Mikoto.

Ordinary people cannot perceive it and are completely unaware of the abnormal movement of natural energy.

Nanaya noticed.

At first, I thought it was Saten Ruiko who succeeded.

But not.

I thought that Kiwanai Kinuho had finally succeeded, but upon closer inspection, I realized that the center of the natural energy anomaly was not the Tokiwadai dormitory in the Academy Garden, but the dormitory where Misaka Mikoto was located.

"Oh my god?!"

Upon realizing this, Nanaya's eyes widened.

"Could it be my little niece?"

No.
