Academy City Temperature Control

"I always feel a little uncomfortable. I probably want to do something."

"But if you get involved, there will be one more trouble to deal with..."

Natsume-san felt the changes in his emotions, as if he was facing his own heart, and his thoughts couldn't help but become complicated.

Mingming and Misaka-senpai talked about a lot of great truths, but the one who didn't understand was actually me.

Once she faced her own heart, many things she was unwilling to think about or ignored came to the surface. Natsume-san was just a slow character who hesitated and didn't work hard.

Those who have nothing to do with interests or oneself, do not consider good or evil, have a true moral outlook that only belongs to the individual, and act purely according to their hearts, may be truly free.

It sounds simple, but there are only a few people who can actually practice it. If they really exist, they may be the real protagonists of this world.

"Speaking of which, has Natsume-san's mother left Academy City?"

The topic unknowingly turned to something else. Saten-san asked with some concern, interrupting someone's troubled thoughts.

Because it was the last day of the Academy City Daihasei Festival, the parents who came here also began to leave, and Academy City became the city of students again.

The closed space elevator has still not resumed operation, which makes many people a little disappointed, including Natsume-san of course.

"I left this morning with Aunt Misaka."

After a slight nod, Natsume-san came back to his senses and said.

She has long adapted to living alone and can quickly pick up her mood.

It's just that until now, she hasn't seen her father who seems to be in Academy City, which makes her a little worried.

Chapter 4 Fengmin Cooperation

Information conveyed visually is limited.

The sum total of all human perceptions does not extend beyond an insignificant part.The situation of ability users may be slightly better, but they still have huge limitations.

Just sitting on the sofa in the branch slightly calmly, Natsume-san's mood is not restricted by the body at all, and the pictures in his head are constantly alternating between the normal world and the bizarre world.

In this world roughly called the Magic Forbidden City, countless phases are like paintbrushes stained with paint. They can be smeared on the physical world at will, making everything colorful but elusive.

Even Natsume-san has been exposed to the light of those magical things. As long as he focuses on the lightless phase, he can change his observation position by moving the relative coordinates.

In fact, it's like you can choose which phase to observe, but this time the range has been narrowed, and you can just move freely within the phase.

If Natsume-san had enough computing power to digest the entire phase information, it would undoubtedly be simpler to just use that perception to fill the phase.

"I found it. It feels like I have become a satellite."

"The consumption of computing power is still within an acceptable range. Even if I don't transfer this consumption to Zero, I can still persist for more than half an hour."

"Hey, I didn't expect to arrive in Tokyo so soon. Mom moved really fast."

While chatting with Saten-san, a certain guy's mind changed and he inexplicably observed his mother's way home.

Although Natsume-san always manages her expression very well and looks calm and relaxed, she still cares about her mother returning home.

Fortunately, according to the progress of negotiations between my mother and Academy City, I will probably be able to get the pass smoothly at the beginning of October. My efforts these days have not been in vain. I just hope that nothing, such as a world war, will happen in the next period. It's better to have trouble.

But no matter how you think about it, it won't be as serious as a world war.

Haha, right, I still worry too much, a certain meathead thought confidently.

The topic changed and returned to phase. As long as Natsume-san calculated the speed and movement time and drew a rough circle outside Academy City, she would be sure to intercept her mother on her way home.

In fact, Natsume-san only needs to keep moving forward along a few major highways in the right direction, and the above steps can be completely omitted.

By blurring some unnecessary scenery and selectively ignoring useless information, the microscopic angle can be completely ignored, and she can scan a large area more easily.

As long as air vibrations are added to the scope of interpretation, Natsume-san can clearly interpret various sounds, and even lip reading does not need to be learned.

However, her attention only stayed on her mother for a while, and then she suddenly changed her observation position.

We arrived at the location of the armed incompetent group called "Skill Out".

With the emergence of this new perception ability, the means of obtaining information that Natsume was lacking in the past has finally undergone subversive growth, which can be regarded as making up for another shortcoming outside the electromagnetic barrier.

For things that were difficult to investigate before, she can find the truth in her own way.

In other words, from the moment Natsume realized that she could still do this, she had become Academy City's most pervasive intelligence officer.

"If it cooperates with my new perception ability, maybe this matter won't be so troublesome."

As if some idea had occurred to him, Natsume's face was thoughtful, and his eyes couldn't help but stare at the Discipline Committee armband on Uiharu's shoulder.

The hesitant thoughts are still lingering in my head. If I want to make Natsume-san become a diligent discipline committee member like Shirai-san, I can only do it in the world of Tsukuyomi. The morning exercises that I have persisted in for a few days are a good example. .

And Natsume-san is a very gentle and kind person, and she also feels that she needs to do something, which means that the only thing that restrains her from taking action is the lazy character she has developed over a long period of time.

In the final analysis, it is still a struggle between a lazy personality and one's own will. Interests and the like are not ranked high. Perhaps it would be more vivid to add animated patterns of demons and angels on both sides of the shoulders.

Once you completely break free from the shackles of yourself and the environment, you will almost be on a certain path called true will.

However, this time the wrestling seems to be almost decided, and Natsume-san seems to have found a less troublesome way.If the operation is good, maybe this so-called game can be solved quickly.

All kinds of specious thoughts were swirling in her head. Natsume's eyes lit up slightly, and she finally figured out a certain joint.

Yes, why would you want to solve this kind of trouble alone? The inflated self-confidence of superpowers is not used in this kind of place.

Even if Natsume-san can fight alone, how many people can she deal with? What's more, this is a long-standing and difficult problem of student bullying.

Then as long as you change your mind, it may be more appropriate to take a roundabout approach.

This game has attracted the attention of the disciplinary committee and security officers. The reason why it has not been solved is that the attacks occurred in dark corners.

The students who were attacked either couldn't even report the crime, or they didn't expect the disciplinary committee members and security guards to come to help.

Once the attacker leaves in time, there will be no solid evidence.

It falls into a gray area where security guards and disciplinary committee members cannot easily handle the case without receiving a report or collecting evidence. This is true for both incompetent and capable assault cases.

Strictly speaking, groups of armed incompetents can and depend on this gray area.

However, Natsume-san found that she had overlooked an important fact. It seemed that the perpetrator could not be punished, but in fact it was more of a problem of mutual distrust between the disciplinary committee and the incompetent people involved in the incident.

As long as both parties could cooperate with each other and work closely together, maybe the situation would have improved a long time ago.

In the final analysis, cooperation between the people is the right way to solve problems.

It doesn't matter if there is no evidence. You can simply seize the stolen goods or bring a camera. Fishing law enforcement is not a new method.

If you want to gain the trust of incompetent people, it is very effective to use your own perception ability to capture a few people first.With the cooperation of the incompetent person, it will be much easier for Shirai-san to deal with it. Anyway, she can rush to the scene immediately.

After thinking about it, Natsume-san found a job to help move some space.

As for those who are more suitable to act together with the Disciplinary Committee, the group of armed incompetent people being observed by Natsume-san in front of them is good.

Natsume-san found that this group was surprisingly orderly. Judging from their conversations, it seemed that they also took in many incompetent people who had been attacked.

"Early spring, I thought of it."

"If we could work with 'Skill Out,' maybe we could solve the problem with that game."

"By the way, there are also those flying orb cameras used in the Daihasei Festival."

After coming back to his senses, Natsume-san stood up with some fuss. His expression was serious and extremely excited. He blinked and looked at the confused Sagawa Middle School duo.

In fact, there is no need to force herself. If it is a group activity of the disciplinary committee, she is still happy to participate in this kind of team building.

Chapter 4 Humanoid Battery

If you look at things from the perspective of team building, then the feeling will be completely different.

In order to strengthen the connection between the disciplinary committee and the student body, create a harmonious public environment, and improve the increasingly serious student bullying incidents in the academic capital.

With the 177th branch of the Discipline Committee as the core, and the interested Discipline Committee Natsume Sonoko as the main planner, the two parties conducted many consultations and exchanges on this type of incident, trying to reach a feasible team-building plan.

"Is this still my lazy, idle Natsume-san?"

Saten Ruiko's eyes flashed with curiosity, as if she was not used to the sonorous and powerful speech of the girl opposite.

I have to say that Natsume-san is really different when she is serious, especially when she widens her eyes to make herself look serious, her style suddenly becomes crooked.

Although a certain meathead has been hanging around in the Disciplinary Committee branch, the most common things she does are either secretly drinking Musashino milk from Senior Sister Gufa or helping Uiharu make black tea. It once made people think that she was actually here to beat the autumn wind.

Well, ignoring Natsume-san’s many unreliable daily routines as a disciplinary committee member, you can still occasionally find a few bright spots.And now Natsume-san looks like his whole body is glowing.

"Working with that 'Skill Out' guy?"

Manually lowering the overly bright lights in the office so that someone's forehead finally no longer reflected light, the expression on Uiharu's face became more and more confused.

The disciplinary committee still has a relatively negative view of the armed incompetent group, and has to deal with cases related to them from time to time.

Even Misaka-senpai maintains a similar view on this point. Every now and then, a delinquent boy who fails to find trouble is electrocuted until he smokes.

But Uiharu is a delicate girl after all.

Looking at his little friend yelling and screaming, he knew that it was not unintentional. It seemed that he had really thought of a solution.

As for the fact that she suddenly became diligent, Uiharu was not surprised at all. This was the Natsume classmate she knew.

That girl who will take action no matter how hard and dangerous it is, as long as she has something she can't let go of.

From dispelling Illusion Controller to rescuing Edasen Tori, from treating Febri to participating in two absolute ability user projects.

Whether it was Accelerator, coordinate movement or Kihara Gensei, Natsume-san struggled to drag his lazy body to fight to the end, fully embodying the saying that a young lady's body is destined to work hard.

It's just that this time the target has become someone who has no connection or lack of interaction with Natsume-san.From Chuchun's perspective, there is no difference at all.

"Well, I think the root of it all lies in the word trust. Most incompetent people are attacked in narrow alleys or near old buildings, and that is usually where armed groups of incompetent people operate. . In other words, the incompetent people who were attacked actually included these armed incompetent people.”

"Then if we can get the help of these groups of armed incompetent people, it will definitely be much better than being like headless flies. The scope of this game is currently only in the Seventh School District, but I think it will spread sooner or later, so it must You have to react in advance.”

Nodding her head firmly, Natsume said in a serious tone. When she was serious, she was exactly like a disciplinary committee member.

"But wasn't it mentioned in early spring that these attackers will avoid the members of 'Skill Out'. There is no need for them to worry about attacks."

Saten-san interjected, also paying special attention to this matter.

"Don't worry about this. This group has taken the initiative to take in some people who have been attacked."

"And with the people being attacked joining them, they must know who is attacking the incompetent."

After thinking for a while, Natsume-san finally spoke.

As soon as he finished speaking, the two girls on the side were in a daze.Although I didn’t get this information from the guard’s database, it sounded like it was true when Natsume-san said it.

"If that's the case, we can figure out how to track those people and then film evidence of them assaulting someone else."

"Or just catch them right there."

Saten-san suddenly became interested, his eyes lit up and he said excitedly.

This kind of thing affects the entire group of incompetent people, especially the students in the [-]th School District. Saten-san is actually one of the possible victims.

"Speaking of which, can you find a way to borrow that ball camera?"

When the topic changed, Natsume-san said with some concern.

If there was such a thing, there would be no need to go there by yourself after discovering the incident. It was really an expected laziness.

"If it's the kind used in the Daiha Star Festival, I happen to know where to find it."

The door was suddenly opened, and Shirai walked into the disciplinary committee branch with a dejected look on his face, followed by a certain railgun.

I finally waited until onee-sama came back, but for some reason, the original gentle and considerate onee-sama was gone forever.

Even though I just hugged onee-sama from behind, I used one hundred thousand volts without hesitation. Does it mean that onee-sama doesn't love me anymore?

Thinking of this, Shirai-san vaguely pictured his gloriously retired wheelchair in front of his eyes.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with being in a wheelchair. At least I can see my gentle sister.

"Actually, we were helping out at an electronic magazine company yesterday, and they had flying photography equipment available."

After thinking about it, Misaka-senpai said.

...

"You actually want those bad boys to cooperate with us. I don't know how you came up with this idea."

"It's really naive. We and them are mortal enemies in a sense."

Walking on the busy street, Shirai-san couldn't help but mutter, as if he was a little unconvinced by someone's method.

Among the incompetent persons or delinquents, Shirai-san has a very bad reputation, which cannot be described as cruel.
