Academy City Temperature Control

Natsume Sonoko was arranged by her teacher to rest on a stone bench near the playground. At this time, the playground was already in full swing.

After only staying on the playground for a while, Natsume Sonoko stepped out and walked outside. Instead of returning to the teaching building, she walked to the school library.

The library in Tokiwadai is very large, much more spectacular than the teaching building, and the books in it are all-encompassing, from basic teaching reference books to various highly professional papers and works.

And as time goes by, the school will continue to update the books here.

Even a top student like Misaka-senpai often comes here to study and recharge, and is even sometimes called simple-minded by some people.

There are many smart people in Academy City. Even Natsume Sonoko thinks she has worked very hard, but at most she is judged as someone with good understanding.

"I remember the book about losing control of abilities is here."

When she was not scrupulous about output, Natsume Sonoko found that her computing power was consumed too quickly. This situation is very common among ability users. Although I don’t know whether it can be regarded as a loss of ability, it should be able to provide some support. .

But because this situation of losing control of abilities is limited to Natsume Sonoko's head, it will not have any impact on the outside world. The root cause is that the formula is out of date, so we need to study more, think more, eat less snacks and sleep more. .

In fact, Natsume Sonoko doesn't come to the library that often. Most of the time she just comes to solve some difficult problems assigned by the teacher, but she is still familiar with the general layout of the library.

Finally finding some related books and papers from a bookshelf, Natsume jumped to the reading room on the first floor of the library holding a few books.

Since classes were still in session, the library was empty at this time. Natsume Sonoko liked such a quiet environment and had some difficulty reading these obscure books.

"Oh, here is something for reference." Natsume Sonoko frowned and finally found the part she needed among the many messy contents.

"What an extreme statement. The value derived from the loss of ability. Is this really feasible?"

I put down a daunting paper. There weren't many useful things in it. It was more like the beginning of a series of papers. However, Tokiwadai's library did not store the subsequent content.

Natsume Sonoko looked at the author above, and it was a person named Kihara Gensei.

So familiar?I seem to have heard of it somewhere, and it sounds so familiar that he must be a villain.

There seem to be a lot of people with the surname Kihara in Academy City, and their names are also all kinds of weird. Natsume Sonoko is also a little confused.

Continuing to read the rest of the content, Natsume Sonoko kept frowning. Sometimes, some things had to be done, such as solving a bug in the formula.

And this kind of problem similar to the loss of ability is not only present in the icing formula, but may also be the same in other aspects of the formula, but the problem has not been discovered yet.

As the saying goes, if you solve the problem of the icing formula, everything else will be much easier to handle.

"Hey, it's Natsume-san."

Just when the paper was lost in thought, someone suddenly patted him behind him. Natsume Sonoko just turned around and seemed to have hit a cushion.

I smelled a faint fragrance on the tip of my nose. I raised my head and saw a blond senior who didn't look like a junior high school student. This senior had stars in her pupils and looked a bit special. She was raped by Natsume Sonoko. He hit the ground and took several steps back.

In addition to the Tokiwadai school uniform, this senior also wore white stockings with a spider web pattern, pure white gloves on her hands, and a women's shoulder bag.

"Shouhou-senpai! I'm sorry, I didn't know you were behind me just now."

Natsume Sonoko stood up in a hurry, her face looked a little embarrassed, and she hesitated and didn't know what to say.

"It's okay, I'm not that stingy kind of person. But what Natsume-san is watching is very concerning."

Picking up a paper from Natsume Sonoko's hand, it was the same one that Kihara Gensei had just written.

"Is it similar to the problem of out-of-control abilities? It is indeed a very troublesome thing. I have also been troubled by this, but it is just because my ability is too powerful and it is difficult to use." Shokuhou Misaki-senpai's face showed He smiled playfully but spoke in a serious tone.

"Oh, you are indeed Shokuhou-senpai." Natsume Sonoko said with considerable approval. Others may have said that she was bragging, but if it was this senior, it should be the truth.

"And it's best not to read this paper. Thinking about the old man who wrote this paper makes you feel uncomfortable." Shokuhou-senpai sat across from Natsume Sonoko and said, stretching her waist and lying down lazily. on the desktop.

"----OK"

"Shou Shokuhou-senpai, don't you have to go to class?" Natsume Sonoko looked at the lazy Shokuhou-senpai in front of her and asked after a while. She would feel restrained unconsciously when talking to her senior, especially this kind of thing. A super awesome senior.

"Just like you, I'm in physical education class, but I just skipped class." Shokuhou Misaki said, holding her head and looking at the ceiling unconsciously.

"That's it." Natsume Sonoko nodded, with a hint of understanding in her eyes, indicating that she fully agreed with Shokuhou Misaki-senpai's approach.

Chapter 65 The idea of ​​becoming lv5

Recalling the previous physical education classes, although there were some time differences between the first-year and second-year physical education classes, it seemed that Natsume Sonoko had indeed never seen Shokuhou Misaki-senpai in the physical education class.

The atmosphere in the library is very harmonious. There are a lot of books stacked in front of Natsume Sonoko. She is thinking hard under the pile of books. She doesn't know when she got a notebook at hand to record some key information fragments. stand up.

Shokuhou Misaki, the senior student opposite, was holding a tablet computer provided by the library. She was holding her cheek with one hand and gently stroking with her fingers on the other hand, circling the virtual library on the tablet. bought some books.

These books include not only studies on Academy City, but also many foreign papers and works. However, according to the standards of most Tokiwadai Middle School students, knowing a few foreign languages ​​can be said to be normal.

"These books are also useful and are very suitable for your ability development."

Shokuhou Misaki-senpai wanted to continue picking out some books, but found that Natsume Sonoko's body was already piled with various books. Then she put down her tablet thoughtfully and began to read without saying a word. Natsume Sonoko-san in the distance.

As if she was a little embarrassed by this gaze, Natsume Sonoko raised her head and met the eyes of Shokuhou Misaki-senpai.

"Natsume-san, you have to study hard. Once you understand these books, you will become stronger." Shokuhou Misaki said elegantly, then crossed her fingers with her hands and put her head on the circle formed by her hands. On the bridge, he stared at Natsume Sonoko with keen eyes, like a strict teacher.

"Shouhou Shokuhou, have you read all these books?" Natsume Sonoko asked curiously at this time.

"It's just a bit involved. It's always good to study more." Shokuhou-senpai said calmly, the stars in her eyes kept twinkling, making it impossible to guess what she was thinking.

Natsume Sonoko completely read through a paper on the three-state transformation of gas, liquid, and solid. There was a lot of complicated content in it, but because of someone's good understanding ability, she digested most of it in one gulp. Unknowingly, she was in physical education class. More than half of the time has passed.

"Natsume-san, have you found a solution to the problem of out-of-control abilities?" Shokuhou Misaki asked with concern, holding her chin and a warm smile on her face.

"Not yet, it seems there is still a long way to go."

Natsume Sonoko said distressedly that there were inspirations in many places, but she still couldn't find the right one.

And maybe because they have been together for a long time, Natsume Sonoko's reserved feeling when facing Shokuhou Misaki-senpai has weakened a bit.

"Well, after you finish reading these books, I will help you find other information." Shokuhou Misaki-senpai said.

Natsume Sonoko was just about to refuse. Being able to help find books in the library was already a great help, but Shokuhou Misaki-senpai said.

"Natsume-san, you are very different."

"??"

"I wonder if Natsume-san has any idea of ​​becoming level 5?" Shokuhou Misaki-senpai's tone became more serious, and her eyes were full of solemnity.

"Ah, of course this exists."

Although she didn't know why Shokuhou Misaki-senpai suddenly asked these questions and was a little surprised, Natsume Sonoko still answered seriously.

"Well, speaking of it, Natsume-san still has the possibility of becoming level 5, in terms of talent." Senior Shokuhou Misaki said analytically, clasping one hand and speaking matter-of-factly.

"But just talent is not enough. As far as I know, even if some people have the talent to become superpowers, due to their addiction to games and comics, lack of effort, or simply lack of intelligence, they can't even reach level 3 now. Unable to break through.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a certain Natsume Sonoko's face showed an inexplicable blush, but at this time Natsume Sonoko also noticed a word said by Shokuhou Misaki-senpai.

"The gift of becoming a superpower."

Natsume Sonoko murmured to herself curiously. This was different from the propaganda in Academy City that you could become a person with super powers as long as you worked hard, but she still knew a little bit about the inside story.

"Just like a water cup, the water inside has a fixed content. Some people's abilities are developed to level 3, but when the water cup is full, they will not be able to improve throughout their lives, while some people can rely on themselves even if they are only level 1. Become a superpower step by step." Shokuhou Misaki said.

This example of gradually rising to the level of a superpower is obviously Misaka Mikoto-senpai. Natsume Sonoko nodded in agreement.

"Natsume-kun is very different. Not only is he talented enough, but he is also a hard-working person. The only thing he lacks is the investment of resources. Not only the deduction of various formulas, but also the horizontal development of abilities and the improvement of accuracy. They are all time-consuming projects. Just having lv5 level computing power cannot be called lv5."

"Talent is very important, but without the investment of resources, it is almost impossible to become a lv5 that Academy City can be proud of." Shokuhou Misaki-senpai continued, her eyes lingering on Natsume Sonoko's face.

Natsume Sonoko was a little confused, and she unconsciously dropped the paper in her hand. She looked at Shokuhou Misaki-senpai in confusion.

"So, Natsume-san, you have to work hard. If you really feel desperate one day, you can ask me for help. After all, I have a crush on you." Shokuhou Misaki's face showed a playful smile again, He stretched and said.

The bell rang for the end of get out of class, Shokuhou Misaki-senpai left the library, and Junko Hokaze with purple curly hair appeared behind her.

"Queen, do you want to draw her into our faction?" Senior Sister Junko Hokaze said hesitantly.

"Maybe."

"By the way, Fengfan, what's dessert today?" Shokuhou-senpai asked expectantly as she licked her tongue.

"Queen, there are no sweets today. Since you always skip gym class and eat sweets, you have fat on your thighs and belly. You must supervise the queen's dietary intake." Senior Junko Hokaze showed a serious expression. He looked at Shokuhou Misaki-senpai with a slumped face and said.

Watching Shokuhou Misaki-senpai leave, Natsume Sonoko still had a blank expression on her face and her head was a little confused.

"Just now Shokuhou-senpai said that I have enough talent, the only thing I lack is enough resources." Natsume Sonoko also thinks so, no wonder she hasn't become lv5 yet.

Even if she is willing to participate in various perverted experiments in Academy City, Natsume Sonoko's research on heat does not seem to be the first candidate.

For example, there is a level 4 user at Changdian Upper School with the ability to control heat transfer. For example, Shokuhou Misaki also has a competitor called Mitsui Aiyu.

Natsume Sonoko turned on her mobile phone to check the price of renting a supercomputer in Academy City, and was immediately shocked by the price. Sure enough, she really needed various resources.

He seemed to feel that his path to level 5 was a bit bleak, but in the blink of an eye he deleted all these depressing thoughts and stood up to continue reading the books and papers in his hands.

Don't panic, there are still 10 minutes until the next class. Natsume Sonoko feels that she can study some more.

Study seriously when you study, and rest seriously when you rest. This is Natsume Sonoko's way of tolerance.

After writing down all the book titles and putting them in the return desk, Natsume Sonoko left the library.Although I yearn to become lv5, there is no point in being anxious.

....Ordinary dividing lines....

In the small Western-style garden of Tokiwadai Middle School.

It happened to be lunch time, and many students did not stay in the school cafeteria to eat, but came to the Western-style garden near the cafeteria to eat.

Misaka-senpai, Shirai-san and Natsume Sonoko were sitting around the leisure table in the garden, and the air was filled with the smell of food.

In front of Natsume Sonoko was a lunch box, the dishes inside were enhanced versions of the familiar Tsuchimikado-san, while Misaka-senpai and Shirai-san only got a sandwich and a glass of juice.

"Today's sun is really dazzling. Just staying outside for a while makes me feel very uncomfortable." Misaka-senpai sighed and kept fanning the wind with her hands.

"That's right. Fortunately, there is a convenient guy here now." Classmate Shirai said. Sometimes, tools and people actually transform into each other.

The temperature around the three people immediately began to drop a bit, and even the sunlight seemed less dazzling.

Chapter 66 The little maid’s robot mount

Taking a nap at noon is always so pleasant, and coupled with the suitable environment, it makes people want to stay on the stool without getting up.

It took some time to finish the lunch in a leisurely manner. Natsume Sonoko stretched out comfortably and released her inner anxiety, with a satisfied smile on her face.

Tsuchimikado’s bento is really delicious, and it is a specially prepared nutritious meal that is rich in vitamins ABCD.

I have decided that if I have a chance in the future, I will definitely kidnap Tsuchimikado-san and invite her to be my personal maid!

Natsume Sonoko silently made some lofty ambitions in her heart, and a certain classmate Tsuchimikado Maixia, who didn't know why, suddenly felt a cold wind blowing behind her, and she couldn't help but shrink her neck.

"Strange, the cold wind is blowing there? The temperature is obviously very high today."

After finishing the work at noon, Tsuchimikado, who was enjoying his private time, thought in confusion as he sat on a cleaning robot, spinning around like a joyride.

"Speaking of which, I have been concerned about whether Natsume-san is too quiet today." Shirai-san bit his straw and looked at Natsume Sonoko with some concern.

Although Natsume-san doesn't talk much on weekdays, it's rare for her to keep her head down while eating like today, and she looks like she's absent-minded at first glance.

"Really? I think Natsume-san is no different from usual." Misaka-senpai put down the sandwich in her hand and replied with some surprise.

"That's because onee-sama's nerves are too thick." Shirai-san muttered with her lips curled up.

"Honestly, why are you so depressed today?" Shirai-san asked with a hint of scrutiny as he put his face in front of Natsume-san's gaze.

"Hey, I look depressed." Natsume Sonoko was a little surprised, did she show it so obviously?

"It's very suspicious, and your vision is always erratic today. Even when you eat, your speed is [-]% slower than before." Shirai-san said, twirling his fingers.

"That's true. Natsume-san's eating speed has indeed dropped a lot today." Misaka-senpai replied with some hindsight.

"It's really nothing. I just met Shokuhou-senpai when I went to the library today." Natsume Sonoko said honestly.

"Did that guy do something to you?!" Misaka-senpai stood up immediately, with a trace of sullenness on her face.

"No, Misaka-senpai, don't overthink it." Natsume Sonoko hurriedly grabbed Misaka-senpai and waved her hands repeatedly.

The time for the club activities came as scheduled, and someone did not step out of the school gate as usual, but stayed in a seat in the school cafeteria a little bored, next to his classmate Tsuchimikado sitting on the cleaning robot.

"Oh, so, Natsume-san, you are worried about how to return to the dormitory?" Tsuchimikado-san said with a leisurely tone and a calm smile on his face.

Misaka-senpai and Shirai-san both became swimsuit models due to invitations from Kanuchi-san and Aofu-san from the swimming club.

"Actually, that's not the case. Shirai-san said she would come back to pick me up." Natsume-san said blankly, shaking her legs.

"Natsume-san, you can't always rely on others like this. You must know how to solve problems by yourself, otherwise you will cause trouble to others."

Tsuchimikado Maika suddenly showed a serious expression and spoke in a serious manner, although her leisurely tone was really not intimidating.

"Hey, but Tsuchimikado-san, it's not yet the operating hours of the campus bus."
