Academy City Temperature Control

"No." Misaka-senpai, who was walking at the front, said depressedly.Even though he caused so much damage by not paying attention, he still couldn't find any clues, which made Misaka-senpai a little sulky.

"As for your question Natsume, I have already thought of it. Even if those guys carry the audio of the Phantom Master, I am afraid it will be destroyed by onee-sama's discharge."

Shirai-san reasoned, and it was so reasonable that it was impossible to argue with it.

This time the power outage also affected the student dormitory of Tokiwadai School District No. [-], and everything was pitch black.

Before I walked through the door, I saw the light of several flashlights waving in the distance.

The three people took a closer look and found that the dormitory master and several staff members were starting the backup generator set in the dormitory.

After Natsume Sonoko returned to the dormitory, not long after, the lights of the Tokiwadai dormitory came back on. This should be regarded as the first batch of buildings to recover from the power outage.

.......

The power outage caused considerable trouble to the entire Seventh School District. The next day, trams on some lines in the school district were out of service, and a large number of schools were closed for the day.

But Tokiwadai Middle School still goes its own way, and there are no changes to the normal classes.

"There is physical education class today, why don't we have a holiday!"

Sitting on the campus bus, a certain classmate Natsume Sonoko couldn't help but think a little uneasily.

Ordinary courses are not very difficult for someone, but courses that test physical fitness such as physical education are a constant problem.

The crowd on the street was a bit dense, probably because the circuits had not been repaired properly, and because many schools were on holiday, there were more students on the road.

Looking at the free faces outside the window, Natsume Sonoko couldn't help but have mixed feelings. Why should I still go to school when everyone is on vacation?

Due to the large flow of people on the road, the campus bus also slowed down and drove hard on the road.

"What's going on outside?"

Through the window of the campus bus, Natsume Sonoko could see the armored vehicles of the security guards roaring past in the distance.

And after those armored vehicles passed by, there were actually a dozen huge driving armors following behind them, like a dozen tall robots, quickly passing through the densely populated streets.

"MAR, Advanced Conditions Rescue Team."

These drive armors are all spray-painted with the MAR logo, and Natsume Sonoko also knows a little about this logo.

MAR is a branch of security officers, but its equipment is much more advanced than ordinary security officers, and its staffing is larger than that of ordinary school district security officers.

Tokiwadai Middle School playground.

"Get ready, run."

With the sound of a gunshot from the physical education teacher, eight students in sportswear started from the starting line at the same time.

Among them, Shirai-san made an outstanding performance, surpassing No. 2 by more than ten meters. The playground was filled with bursts of youthful atmosphere.

There are students from multiple grades scattered on the playground. Not only Natsume Sonoko is a first grader, but even second and third grade seniors are mixed into the team and are doing preparatory exercises at the request of the same physical education teacher.

Natsume Sonoko on the side watched the eight people starting, and her heart beat a little faster. Just after Shirai-san's group finished the two-kilometer long-distance run, it was Natsume Sonoko's turn to start running.

This feeling was like a needle prick, Natsume Sonoko had a nervous look on her face, and she felt a little uneasy where she was.

"If there is really no other way, then I can only have a rain on the playground, or a strong wind for half a day." Natsume Sonoko is a bit cranky, and if she can't solve the problem, she will fix the person who caused the problem.

When they see rain or strong wind on the playground, the physical education teacher may stop running the two kilometers.

The range of the playground is larger than the temperature control range of Natsume Sonoko, but there is no problem if it rains heavily near the track.

Of course, these are just random thoughts in Natsume Sonoko's head, so don't take them seriously.

Just when someone was thinking about secretly disrupting the teaching order and letting this abominable long-distance run go to waste, Natsume Sonoko heard a familiar voice in her ears.

"Huh~huh~huh~."

"I am Mitsuko, the married woman of Tokiwadai. This time, I am the No.1."

In Natsume Sonoko's sight, she gently opened the gorgeous folding fan in her hand, and the arrogant-looking Mitsuko senior sister came into her eyes.

After getting married, the senior sister is really full of energy and seems to be eyeing the No. 1 in the next group.

After nearly two weeks, the traces on my senior sister’s brow have faded and she can finally go to school and participate in various activities normally.

"It seems that my senior sister and I are in the same group after marriage." Natsume Sonoko suddenly thought.

"Natsume-san, you and I are on the same team, so don't expect me to let you off."

The senior sister who was working hard to prepare for the marriage also noticed Natsume Sonoko's gaze and couldn't help but said energetically.

You can tell at a glance that he is a hard worker, which is in sharp contrast to a guy who is weak and does all the preparations for exercise.

"On your marks, get ready, run!"

Natsume Sonoko finally gave up the idea of ​​letting the heavy rain wash away everything, and stood on the runway reluctantly.

When Natsume Sonoko heard the sound of the starting gun and was still struggling to start, the others in this group had already run four or five meters away, and suddenly the gap with someone was widened.

The person running at the front was the third-year senior Junko Hokaze, and behind her was the married senior. The two were running closely together from the beginning, with only about one height difference.

The two sides were chasing after each other, and the competition was very fierce. They quickly left the students behind them behind, forming three obvious echelons.

"Senior, please show your skills, but I am Tokiwadai's post-marriage Mitsuko."

After the marriage, Senior Mitsuko ran hard, holding the folding fan tightly in her hand, looking at Senior Junko Hofeng not far in front of her and said, with a hint of eagerness on her face.

"In this case, I will speed up."

As if she heard the words of the married senior, Junko Hokaze turned her head and showed a warm smile. She suddenly started to speed up and gradually distanced herself from the married senior.

Natsume Sonoko fell behind the team at this time. Although it was a bit embarrassing, someone said that she was used to it and chased No. 100 7 meters away with difficult steps.

"This classmate, you have to work hard."

As if blown by a gust of wind, a girl with purple curly hair ran past Natsume Sonoko.

Natsume Sonoko was too tired to raise her head. She could only barely glance at the gorgeous purple hair, and then the figure disappeared from sight.

"Damn it, you ran so fast. I will never admit defeat."

With firm steps and a fire that refused to admit defeat in her eyes, Mitsuko-senpai overtook Natsume Sonoko at a corner of the runway.

With one lap behind, Natsume Sonoko gave full play to her indomitable and hard-working spirit, running tremblingly at the end of the team, sweating profusely, as if she had been fished out of the water.

Under such extreme conditions, Natsume Sonoko even gave up on maintaining a constant temperature layer on the surface of her body, and directly entered a state of self-destruction, emptying her mind and walking like a zombie.

The two-kilometer long run finally came to an end. Under the encouraging eyes of the physical education teacher, Natsume Sonoko finally crossed the white line representing the end point. She was panting and pressing her knees and could no longer walk.

"It's really surprising. I thought you would give up halfway."

Shirai-san came over, handed Natsume Sonoko a bottle of water, and said a little surprised.

Chapter 52 Coma appears one after another

In the scorching sun, Natsume Sonoko sipped the water handed over by Shirai-san.

I was sitting on a bench in the school garden to rest out of boredom, looking at the sky and wondering what I was thinking.

Because the chest was really burning, and the muscles all over his body began to cramp involuntarily, the whole person looked listless.

"Natsume-kun, are you exaggerating a bit? You didn't recover for half an hour?"

Shirai-san's familiar brown twintails appeared in Natsume Sonoko's sight, and she looked helplessly at the body of someone lying on the bench.

"Shirai-san, people's physiques cannot be generalized. Leave me alone and let me melt under the blue sky."

Natsume Sonoko said feebly, with a sickly look on her face, as if she had seen through this ordinary and boring life.

"But I really didn't expect that you actually managed to run two kilometers. Normally you would be too tired to walk after running 500 meters."

Shirai-san stretched his arms to stretch his muscles, and then leaned comfortably on the bench.

"Hehe, this shows that my recent exercise is effective."

Natsume Sonoko suddenly raised her head and said thoughtfully, her heart couldn't help but become active.

That seems to be the case. I've been running around a lot recently and my physical fitness seems to have increased a bit.

Ignoring the fact that he finished last, but being able to persevere until the end is a great achievement for someone.

"Do you call that exercise? Why do you eat sweets every time I see you?" Shirai-san had a suspicious look on his face and couldn't help but look Natsume Sonoko up and down.

Due to the power outage in the Seventh School District, the traffic lights at the intersection were out of service, and the entire traffic was jammed and semi-paralyzed.

At this time, classmate Shirai was wearing the armband of the Disciplinary Committee and standing at the traffic platform in the center of the road directing the flow of traffic.

She has a whistle hanging around her neck and uses hand gestures to guide the normal movement of the vehicle.

Since it is still the time for club activities, the campus bus between Tokiwadai dormitory and the school has not yet started operating, so Natsume Sonoko can only walk back.

"The Disciplinary Committee is really all-powerful."

Natsume Sonoko, who was sore all over, walked hard on the way back. When she was passing by the road, she saw Shirai-san who was directing traffic.Not only Shirai-san, but also disciplinary committee members were arranged at other intersections to help direct traffic.

I was exhausted from the last physical education class, so I’d better put aside today’s club interviews and recover my body first.

However, fortunately, there was Misaka-senpai, a member of the returning club, by his side, so the journey was not so boring. The two sides had friendly exchanges and negotiations on the Guita issue.

"Misaka-senpai, do you know that a large number of security guards were dispatched this morning?"

As she walked, Natsume Sonoko thought of the large-scale deployment of security guards in the morning. Although she didn't pay much attention to it at the time, now that she thought about it, something big might have happened.

"I do know a little bit. Kuroko told me this morning that there seems to be some problem at the Aim Analysis Institute." Misaka-senpai, who put her schoolbag on her shoulders and looked a little carefree and boyish, turned around and said.

"There is something wrong with the research institute again. Could it be that the same weirdo as last time appeared again?"

Natsume Sonoko was a little surprised. Ever since the weirdo appeared last time, every large-scale mobilization of security guards made her a little nervous.

"I don't know that."

Misaka-senpai's walking speed slowed down a lot, allowing Natsume Sonoko to keep up. The two of them walked slowly and leisurely on the road, stopping to buy some snacks from time to time.

"Kuroko?"

Moving in space is really convenient, Shirai-san will always appear everywhere without anyone noticing.

Suddenly she felt that there was someone else around her. Misaka-senpai was holding a takoyaki in one hand while looking at Shirai Kuroko-san who fell from the air with confusion.

"Onee-sama, there is a problem. Hatsumi suddenly fainted during the interrogation by the security guards, and is still unconscious." Shirai-san said anxiously as soon as he fell down.

"Jielu Hatsuko, the criminal in the void explosion case?" Misaka-senpai asked.

Natsume Sonoko immediately became a little nervous. Has things finally reached this point?

"Moreover, the same is true for the girl from Sekisho Middle School who was involved in the Tokiwadai attack last time. In recent days, many unconscious prisoners have been sent to the hospital one after another." Shirai-san continued.

"Is this Shigefuku Shoho-san?" Natsume Sonoko suddenly asked.

Although classmate Shoho Shigefuku has a bit of an eccentric personality, after a period of communication, Natsume Sonoko also became familiar with her.

Even though she knew that using the Phantasm Controller would cause side effects, after it actually happened, Natsume Sonoko felt a little at a loss.

"Then let's go to the hospital quickly. Natsume-san, you go back to the dormitory first."

Misaka-senpai is overly enthusiastic. I don’t know whether it’s because of Shirai-san’s influence or because of her nature. Recently, she has become obsessed with the incident of Fantasy Mitsuru.

"No, I want to go too." Natsume Sonoko shook her head resolutely. Although it was a little difficult to walk and she didn't have much strength, how could she let it go when she saw something happened to her friend.

"Okay, Kuroko, just take Natsume and leave." Misaka-senpai glanced at Natsume Sonoko in surprise, nodded in agreement and said.

"Really, you are the one who will cause trouble for others." With a trace of reluctance on his face, Shirai-san stretched out his hand to pull Natsume Sonoko's sleeve, and the two of them disappeared in an instant.

Seeing this scene, Misaka-senpai also increased her power and began to sprint forward at a speed like an electromagnetic ejection, and there were waves of wind and waves along the way.

Shuishui Institutional Hospital seems to be extremely busy today, with students in coma being sent here one after another for treatment.

Although there was a power outage outside, the normal operation of the hospital was not affected at all due to the backup power supply in the hospital.

"This is it, we're here."

Two figures suddenly appeared in the space. Natsume Sonoko didn't have much time to think before she was led through the space again and again by Shirai-san. It didn't take long to arrive near the Mizuho Institutional Hospital.

The feeling of traveling through space is very strange. Before the brain can react, the sight suddenly shifts to another place, just like watching TV, the scene is constantly switching.

"Onee-sama will be here soon. Let's wait outside." Putting down the phone, Shirai-san said.

In a park somewhere, Saten Ruiko's classmate was sitting on a swing.

Holding the amulet in one hand and leaning on the iron chain of the swing with the other, Saten-san's eyes were in trance and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Mingmei, what's wrong with you?"

Akemi, who was using her ability to levitate a cleaning robot in mid-air, suddenly fainted, causing an uproar among the nearby crowd.
