"Do you usually make a living by betting on the odds in Academy City?"

The eldest brother nodded and said:

"Yes, this is Academy City after all, and interesting things happen from time to time. I can open a market every day if I want."

"So how is your income?" Misaka Mikoto asked again.

"Not very good." The eldest brother shook his head.

"Because most of the profits have to be handed over to the gang boss, I only earn hard-earned money. And I have to worry about the security guards and discipline committee members raiding me all the time. If I get caught by them, not only will I lose ten days or half a month's income, but I will also have to stay in the detention center for a few days."

"It seems like it's very hard." Misaka Mikoto sighed and said:

"By the way, if you want to change your career, do you have any options?"

"What choice is there?" the eldest brother said helplessly:

"Academy City is full of robots. They don't even need street sweepers. What kind of jobs can people like us with no special abilities find? To be honest, it's just that I don't have any special abilities. Otherwise, I would also like to rob a bank. As long as I can rob a lot of money, I won't have to worry about food and drink for several years. This is much more profitable than opening a market."

"So, in Academy City right now, apart from committing crimes, most of the graduates actually have nowhere to go?"

"Yeah, there's nothing we can do about it! After all, superpowers look great, but they actually bring too many social problems! The outside world can't accept people with special abilities, and Academy City can't provide so many jobs. What else can we do except cheat?" As he said this, the eldest brother looked at Misaka Mikoto's uniform with envy and said:

"But what we've been through has nothing to do with you, the eldest lady of Tokiwadai. After all, young ladies like you don't need to find a job. Your family should have arranged everything for you! Oh, I wish I was also the eldest lady of Tokiwadai!"

Chapter 226 Becoming a Discipline Committee Member

After the bank robbery, Misaka Mikoto returned to her dormitory. Not long after, Shokuhou Misaki also came back. But compared to Misaka Mikoto, Shokuhou Misaki looked very tired. Obviously, whether it was preparing for the operation for Kamijou Touma or investigating the Absolute Esper incident, Shokuhou Misaki had put in a lot of effort.

So the next day, Misaka Mikoto went to class as usual, and then studied the knowledge of the world in class. However, during the lunch break, Misaka Mikoto's homeroom teacher invited her to the office and asked a question:

"Misaka-san, you were involved in a bank robbery yesterday, right?"

Misaka Mikoto nodded, and then she heard the teacher continue:

"To be honest, I personally don't really want my students to get involved in dangerous things. But I heard from the security guards and discipline committee members that you performed very well in the bank robbery. Especially the two discipline committee members, they reported in detail your performance when facing the robbers and gave you high praise."

Misaka Mikoto was puzzled when she heard her homeroom teacher talking about her performance. According to common sense, the homeroom teacher should have criticized her for her impulsiveness in the robbery and asked her to be more careful in the future.

Just as Misaka Mikoto was puzzled, the homeroom teacher finally said:

"So, Misaka-san, since you're showing this, are you interested in becoming a discipline committee member?"

Disciplinary committee member?

Hearing this proposal, Misaka Mikoto just shook her head. She already had enough things to do and really had no interest in being a discipline committee member. At the same time, Misaka Mikoto was secretly wondering in her heart, could this be the work of Shirai Kuroko?

This guy couldn't wait to enroll in Tokiwadai and wanted to be by my side right now. That's why he applied to the higher-ups to get me on the team of the Discipline Committee. This way...

Thinking of this, even Misaka Mikoto got goose bumps all over her body.

"What do you think about this?" the head teacher continued to ask.

"I'm sorry, teacher." Misaka Mikoto clearly chose to refuse the homeroom teacher's suggestion.

"I knew you would say that!" The homeroom teacher seemed to have anticipated Misaka Mikoto's refusal:

"I'm not saying anything, Misaka-san, this is an opportunity! Especially for you, you have to seize it!"

"Although your grades are good, your physical fitness and home economics are so-so, and your ability is mediocre at Level 3. And your personality is not good either, you are too withdrawn. Tell me, how many friends do you have in our school? What are you going to do in the future?"

"You don't have outstanding abilities and you can't handle interpersonal relationships well. You won't have a future like this! You need to practice the ways of the world. For example, being a discipline committee member is a good training for you! At least make some friends and expand your network! You know, it's not easy to find a job in Academy City now!"

The head teacher spoke earnestly, but Misaka Mikoto's expression remained calm.

"Don't look so nonchalant!" Seeing Misaka Mikoto's expression, the homeroom teacher said in dissatisfaction:

"I'm telling you, this isn't just my opinion. I've already contacted your parents. Your mom is very worried about your situation! I'll call your mom right now and ask her to give you some advice!"

Hearing that the homeroom teacher was actually going to call the parents, Misaka Mikoto's originally calm face finally showed some changes. After all, in the entire Academy City, besides Shirai Kuroko, only her mother Misaka Misuzu could not handle her.

After a while, the call was connected, and Misaka Misuzu's familiar voice came from the homeroom teacher's phone.

"Mikoto-chan~"

After not seeing her for many days, my mother's voice is still so cheerful and lively.

“Puff!”

When Misaka Misuzu heard her voice, the homeroom teacher opposite Misaka Mikoto laughed rudely. Obviously, the contrast between the calm Misaka Mikoto and the cheerful and lively mother was really great.

"Mom, what's going on?"

Misaka Mikoto's voice was still as calm as ever, although there was a hint of indescribable emotion in this calmness.

"I heard everything from your homeroom teacher."

"What did she say?"

"She said my little Mikoto is so pitiful at school! She has no friends to play with, and no friends to play with. She feels empty and lonely. It makes people feel sorry for her."

Is this me? When did I become as pitiful as a widow?

"So I hope you can become a discipline committee member and make more friends! Even better, you can catch a handsome guy and go on a youthful date with him, ah..."

Mom, you want to have a date with your youth, right? If you really feel lonely, why don't you go to London to find your dad? Why bother me? Besides, I don't want to be a discipline committee member at all.

"Mom, I don't want to be a discipline committee member."

Even though her mother had spoken, Misaka Mikoto still refused to become a discipline committee member.

"Mikoto-chan, stop it! Either, either, either..."

Mom, you are so old now, please stop acting like a spoiled child so easily, okay?

Do you know how embarrassed I am? The head teacher sitting opposite me couldn't hold it back any longer, okay!

"I said, I don't want it!" Misaka Mikoto continued to refuse, but her tone was not as firm as before.

“Yes, yes, yes…”

You're being unreasonable again! The last time you asked me to take the Tokiwadai exam, you did the same thing.

But she is my mother after all!

Although Misaka Mikoto's soul has merged with Uchiha Izumi, she still has deep feelings for her parents. It can even be said that Misaka Mikoto wants to continue her life at the cost of losing herself because she doesn't want her parents to worry. So when faced with her mother's request, Misaka Mikoto will only choose to accept it even if she is dissatisfied.

"Teacher." Without hanging up the phone, Misaka Mikoto directly said to the homeroom teacher on the other side:

"I agreed to be the Discipline Committee member."

"Great! My little Mikoto is going to be a cool Judgment Committee member!"

After Misaka Mikoto finished speaking, she heard her mother's cheering voice through the phone.

The homeroom teacher opposite was also very happy. Only Misaka Mikoto secretly complained in her heart:

I never expected that I would become a sandwiched girl!

I just hope that I will never be assigned to 177 in the future!

After all, Shirai Kuroko is in that branch! I don't want to work with her at all.

It shouldn't be that unlucky, right?

……

With all kinds of complicated emotions, Misaka Mikoto left the homeroom teacher's office and continued to slack off in class. After school, she continued to walk along the street to the dormitory. At this time, the weather had turned from cold to gloomy. The sky was gray and hazy, making people feel depressed and dull.

With Misaka Mikoto's ability, she naturally didn't have to worry about keeping warm. But in order to hide her appearance, Misaka Mikoto still put on a sweater, wrapped herself in a scarf, and then put on a pair of thick tights. After all, although the school uniforms of Tokiwadai Junior High School are beautiful and safe, the guy who designed the clothes obviously didn't consider the temperature.

The summer clothes that should be worn in the hot summer are actually covered with a sweater, which is not breathable at all. The slightest exercise will make you sweat profusely. Now that winter is approaching, the winter suit jacket is not warm at all, and the wind will make you feel cold! But the school requires that you must wear skirts, so the young ladies of Tokiwadai are freezing cold in winter.

Just like that, Misaka Mikoto returned to the dormitory while mumbling to herself. However, she didn't expect that as soon as she opened the door of the dormitory, a warm breeze hit her face.

Huh? Is the heating on? Did that guy come home so early today?

As expected, as soon as Misaka Mikoto entered the door, she saw Shokuhou Misaki.

At this time, she was wearing a pink lace nightgown, and her voluptuous and graceful figure was faintly visible through the silk screen. I think she had just taken a shower after returning to the dormitory, and her body was still steaming. Her originally smooth and delicate skin was now as pink as a peach, quite attractive.

Misaka Mikoto couldn't help but look over there.

Bigger again???

This development is too fast, could it be that he really used his ability?

Misaka Mikoto naturally wouldn't care about this kind of thing, because if she wanted, she could easily become bigger than Shokuhou Misaki in a short period of time. What really worries Misaka Mikoto is Shokuhou Misaki's body. Her physical fitness is not good to begin with, and if her endocrine system is disrupted, Misaka Mikoto is really worried that she will end up in the hospital one day.

If there is time, why don't I teach him the physical training! The physical training of the ninja world, the breathing method of the demon world, and the physical fitness of the people in the magic world are different from those in other worlds. Shokuhou Misaki should be able to have a level 4 physical fitness through her own training.

Thinking of this, Misaka Mikoto was about to discuss this matter with Shokuhou Misaki. After all, many of the things Shokuhou Misaki was doing now were very dangerous, and with a stronger physical fitness, she could also ensure her own safety.

In the end, Misaka Mikoto didn't really dislike Shokuhou Misaki, because Shokuhou Misaki was a very strong person and a good person. She was kind and had once been troubled by her flat chest like an ordinary girl. Except for the fact that she always liked to play little pranks, which made Misaka Mikoto a little unhappy, she was very good in other aspects.

Moreover, as a Level 5 esper, Shokuhou Misaki often has to take a lot of pills and use various devices to stimulate her body. After all, developing Level 5 abilities is never an easy task. And it is said that she is also related to many dark sides of Academy City. Although she is just a junior high school student, she is tougher than adults in many aspects.

Really, should I say she is amazing, or should I feel sorry for her?

Many students in Academy City are a little too mature and too strong.

As if she noticed Misaka Mikoto's gaze, Shokuhou Misaki slowly raised her head, gave Misaka Mikoto a perfect smile, and said:

"Hey, Misaka-san. I heard that you're going to be a Judgment Committee member, right?"

In response to Shokuhou Misaki's question, Misaka Mikoto did not respond immediately, but nodded.

"That's great. Come to think of it, I've always thought that Misaka-san is very suitable to be a discipline committee member because you look like someone with a strong sense of justice. In comparison, I can't do that..."

Shokuhou Misaki was stunned for a moment, then said:

"Um, Misaka-san, can I ask you a question? If, I mean if, I did something wrong, would you arrest me as the Discipline Committee member?"

At this moment, Shokuhou Misaki's eyes were more serious than ever. Looking at Shokuhou Misaki like this, Misaka Mikoto said calmly without hesitation:

"I believe in you, Shokuhou Misaki, and I'm not a conservative person. Don't forget, I was the one who helped you get the school's electronic records when you were away from school these days."

Misaka Mikoto's tone was still calm, but there was an indescribable trust in that calmness. This trust made Shokuhou Misaki feel good, because there were not many people who trusted her in Academy City.

Yes, Misaka Mikoto is not a conservative person. She often skipped classes at school, but the reason she was not discovered was not only because of her psychic ability, but also because of Misaka Mikoto's electronic hacking ability. And with this guy's electronic hacking ability, he should have known the dark side of Academy City a long time ago.

So, although Misaka looks serious, his moral standards are actually quite flexible.

However, just as Shokuhou Misaki was impressed by Misaka Mikoto's flexible moral bottom line, Misaka Mikoto said:

"Shokuhou-san, don't you think you're more suitable to be a Judgment Committee member than me?"

What, me, the discipline committee member?

After hearing Misaka Mikoto's suggestion, Shokuhou Misaki was stunned.

However, Misaka Mikoto thought that since I have been dragged into the water, I cannot let Shokuhou Misaki stand on the dry shore, and continued:

"Compared to me, Shokuhou-san is the one with a true sense of justice! After all, although I know a lot about the dark side of Academy City, I have never thought about changing it. And Shokuhou-san has been changing everything around her in various ways since she entered the school. Aren't you more suitable to be a discipline committee member than me?"

“No, Misaka-san, you really think too highly of me!” Shokuhou Misaki evaded.

"Besides, I have a lot of things to do right now. Just for you, Misaka-san, I have to investigate the Absolute Escapist Project. And I also have to prepare for the surgery... I really don't have time to be a discipline committee member anymore!"

Hearing this, Misaka Mikoto didn't force it. She was just joking.

However, although she did not force Shokuhou Misaki to become a member of the Judgment Committee, Misaka Mikoto said:

"Whether you want to be a discipline committee member or not, Shokuhou-san, I think you need to exercise. After all, I remember that you used to skip classes on your own during physical education class! And look at your waist and thighs, there's already fat there! If you don't want to become a fat ball in the future, Shokuhou-san has to work hard!"

Chapter 227 I'll trade with him first

As a roommate, Misaka Mikoto really cares about Shokuhou Misaki's health.

After all, as a junior high school student, Shokuhou Misaki's physical fitness is really poor!

In the original animation, she was out of breath after running a few steps, and now she is no less exhausted, basically a weak woman who can't carry anything on her shoulders or lift anything with her hands. If she didn't have superpowers, any elementary school student could probably beat her up.

But obviously, Shokuhou Misaki had no plans to exercise at this time.

On the one hand, it was because she was really busy, and on the other hand, it was because Shokuhou Misaki didn't like exercise. After all, lying down was so comfortable, and running and jumping was so tiring! Especially now that Shokuhou Misaki had two burdens on her body, it was even more inconvenient for her to move around.

Seeing this, Misaka Mikoto did not force it. Because Misaka Mikoto knew that Shokuhou Misaki would choose to work hard one day. After all, the mere Level 5 psychological control was not enough to guarantee her safety, nor could it allow her to protect important people.

Especially since she fell in love with that hedgehog-head, her Level 5 ability is even more inadequate. After all, in the original work, Misaka Mikoto's ability is stronger than Shokuhou Misaki, and she often feels powerless around the hedgehog-head.
