Academy City Temperature Control

"Can anyone explain why the door of the dormitory was abandoned in the corridor? What happened to the door of your dormitory?" The dormitory master raised his black-rimmed glasses slightly with one hand, revealing the smile of a top predator.

"Housemaster-sama." Several girls showed expressions of extreme fear, especially Misaka Mikoto-senpai. The expression on her face was richer than that of Natsume Sonoko and Shirai Kuroko combined.

Yes, after all, she is a second-year junior high school senior. Compared to the two of them, she has had a full year to get to know and get familiar with the dormitory. As expected of senior Misaka Mikoto, she did not resist and made the decision right away. The most correct choice.

"According to Article [-] of the dormitory regulations, it is strictly prohibited to use abilities in the dormitory. You should not forget it, Misaka." The dormitory master said slowly and calmly in a cold and intellectual voice.

"There is a reason why I just used my ability. Look at this guy, she is my new roommate, I can explain it." A difficult smile appeared on Misaka Mikoto's face, and she pulled Shirai Kuroko in front of her, Ignoring Heizi's desperate look, he hesitated to explain what had just happened.

"Oh, did you think you were a perverted thief, so you used your powers, and then demolished the doors of four dormitories at once?" The dormitory master looked at Misaka Mikoto from the corner of his eye, and Misaka Mikoto nodded with some difficulty.

"The purpose of making house rules is not to make people find excuses to avoid punishment. Otherwise, there would be no need to make house rules. Those who violate the rules must be punished. Do you think so, Misaka-san, Shirai-san, and Natsume who pretended to be stunned at the back? Classmate." The dormitory master showed his wild beast-like eyes, looking at the trembling trio in front of him.

"Yes." With a hint of crying, Misaka-senpai agreed bravely.

"The penalty for those who didn't hear it was doubled."

"Yes." Two neat answers rang out in the corridor at the same time.

Even though the process was full of twists and turns, Shirai Kuroko still successfully moved into dormitory 208, but the result of the punishment came out. Although the scholarship was not deducted, he was punished to clean the school playground and clean up the weeds and garbage there.

Natsume-san's goal of being the eldest daughter also suffered a huge setback in the first week of school, and she accidentally violated the house rules.

Natsume Sonoko stood blankly under the scorching sun, seeming to be thinking about something.

Misaka-senpai on the side seemed to be in a bad mood, sitting on the grass holding her head.

Even on hot days, you can feel the coolness of autumn, especially when Natsume creates a low-pressure area through the principle of thermal expansion and contraction, and the cold wind blows almost everyone.

In this suitable temperature, it is really suitable for taking a nap.

However, Shirai didn't show any signs of sleepiness at all. Instead, he was pulling weeds in the corner of the playground conscientiously and carefully, with many weeds piled up around him.

Sure enough, the Shirai-san who has entered a fanatical fan state and the ordinary Shirai-san are two people, Natsume Sonoko thought to herself.

Chapter 7 Natsume Sonoko’s new moves

"According to the principle of thermal expansion and contraction, when air is heated, its volume will expand and its density will decrease; when it is cooled, its volume will shrink and its density will increase."

"When the air density decreases, it rises to form a low-pressure area, and when the density increases, it forms a high-pressure area. Due to the pressure difference, the air in the high-pressure area will move to the low-pressure area, forming natural wind."

Misaka-senpai was sitting on the grass in the playground, her face still a little gloomy. While secretly glancing at Shirai-san who was seriously pulling weeds, she patiently taught some simple knowledge to Natsume Sonoko, who had just entered the first grade of junior high school.

"Oh, I see."

Natsume Sonoko looked serious and listened to Misaka-senpai's teachings carefully.

Although she didn't take any notes, Natsume Sonoko said that the knowledge was actually not difficult at all, even if she had just entered junior high school.

Natsume Sonoko has long understood thermal expansion, contraction, and air circulation, but she has never thought of using it in the development of abilities. Her main focus is on controlling temperature in her old profession. Controlling the atmosphere should be aerodynamic. The development direction is correct.

After all, you have to learn to walk first before you can learn to run, right? Natsume Sonoko secretly excused herself.

Misaka-senpai is indeed a being who can develop a railgun with her fragile hands. Not only is she super powerful in calculations, but she is also very knowledgeable.

As for the development of her own temperature control ability, Natsume Sonoko has made some ideas, but she has not thought about it in depth.

Natsume-san recalled some of the principles and knowledge mentioned by Misaka-senpai for a while, and her brain began to speed up. Sparks of calculation power flew in the girl's head, and the personal reality that only belonged to Natsume Sonoko was fully released.

After a while, the originally relatively normal temperature around me suddenly became abnormal.

Extreme cold and extreme heat exist alternately, and the surrounding air begins to flow regularly.

Seeing that the strong wind caused by the pressure difference blew away the sweat from Shirai's face not far away, without any major mistakes, Natsume Sonoko suddenly showed a smile.

Can I now work part-time as an aeronaut?

It seems that many level 5 people can do part-time jobs, and I indeed have this talent! !

Thinking of this, Natsume, who has divergent thinking, immediately took advantage of his ability to draw inferences from one example.

Natsume Sonoko alternates between high and low temperatures near her palms, and constantly uses her ability to change the air pressure near her palms. The difficulty is similar to how she made the Ice Guata not long ago.

Not long after, a miniature cyclone gradually formed on Natsume's hand. After relaxing a little, the cyclone dissipated, and a wave of miniature air flowed out to the surroundings.

After several attempts, a small cyclone finally appeared on Natsume Sonoko's hand.

Natsume Sonoko blinked, seemingly full of curiosity about discovering a new toy.

"Compared to purely controlling the temperature, affecting the air pressure through temperature changes is much less expensive. As long as the temperature is maintained for a short period of time, wonderful effects can be achieved with the help of the pressure difference." Natsume tilted his head with a pleased look on his face. Yuanzi thought to himself.

Wind, heed my call!

Judging from the temperature range that I can control at this stage, as long as my calculation speed is fast enough, I can form a small whirlwind by constantly changing the nearby air pressure.

Under this premise, Natsume Sonoko can of course freely control the movement direction of the cyclone.

However, if you want to form a large-scale cyclone or even a tornado, the general operations required are not fundamentally different from forming a cyclone on your hands.

But the computing power required is thousands of times different, and it is very likely that Natsume Sonoko's brain will be burned out in an instant.

"Natsume-san is really smart." Misaka-senpai suddenly felt a little emotional.She just gave some suggestions, but she didn't expect Natsume-kun to be so bright and able to draw inferences so quickly.

"No, actually I'm not very good at controlling it. I'm just trying to change the temperature several times in a row." After being praised like this by Misaka-senpai, Natsume Sonoko suddenly had an embarrassed smile on her face.

Having said that, Misaka-senpai is really nice.

She just casually said that she was a little worried about the regular test next week and hoped that she could be promoted to a level 4 powerful person recognized by Academy City. Misaka-senpai started to give her some advice.

"Sister-sama, Natsume-san's computing power must be level 4, as long as it meets the test requirements." Kuroko Shirai stopped what he was doing and placed weeds on the haystack that had formed a hill.

Shirai-san subconsciously rubbed his sore shoulders, and then walked in the direction of onee-sama and the others not far away.

"Comprehensive regular testing is what we often call physical testing. It is an inspection activity that systematizes abilities and makes simple judgments based on established standards."

"Each school will consider various aspects such as the accuracy, intensity, speed, distance and duration of students' ability release. Because as the level gets higher, the scope of its application becomes wider, so its assessment items also become correspondingly Complicated and multi-faceted." Kuroko Shirai said slowly, smoothing her skirt casually, and her eyes couldn't help but fall on the empty seat next to Misaka-senpai.

Seeing that Misaka-senpai had no intention of refusing, Shirai Kuroko sat down happily, and a happy smile immediately appeared on his face.But what's rare is not just a weird smile, but sitting quite honestly next to Misaka-senpai.

Natsume Sonoko didn't think that Shirai-san had changed her temper, but she might have changed her strategy. She couldn't help but think with some suspicion in her heart.

"Different abilities have different assessment methods, but as far as I know, all abilities are generally divided into two categories. The first category is the extrasensory perception system, and the second category is the telekinesis system. The extrasensory perception system is in the body. The test will be divided into many different sections, while telekinesis is only divided into one section: telekinesis."

Shirai Kuroko stretched out a finger and saw that Misaka-senpai was also listening attentively, and a proud smile appeared on the girl's lips.

"For example, my spatial movement, Natsume-san's temperature control, and onee-sama's electric shocks all belong to the telekinesis system. Although they are all of the same category, they have different emphasis on detection methods."

"As for my spatial movement, it is determined that it contains three elements, that is, the size (mass) of the object when moving, distance and accuracy."

"If Natsume-san wants to advance to level 4, the easiest way is to work on several evaluation factors of temperature control, namely the limit value of temperature change, the changeable range, and the accuracy of the change. As for onee-sama's idea, At most, it can only be regarded as an application of ability, and it cannot be calculated into the results of the physical examination."

Shirai-san rubbed his chin and thought for a while, then carefully helped Natsume-san analyze the information.

On the side, there was a hint of blush on Misaka-senpai's face. She hugged her knees with her hands and smiled awkwardly.

"But if the air pressure difference can be developed into a railgun similar to onee-sama, then maybe the school will develop a special judging standard for Natsume-san. As far as I know, every lv5 superpower user , there will be a dedicated research team." Shirai added.

"By the way, comprehensive and regular inspections are such a cliché. Elementary school habits are starting to change, Natsume-san." Kuroko Shirai held her forehead and said. It seemed that she rarely heard such clichés. Say it.

Natsume Sonoko's face was a little red. This was indeed a habit she brought from elementary school, although there was no difference between the two.

The sun gradually lowered from the center, and time passed little by little.

The hot weather did not dampen people's enthusiasm for work.

In the playground, three figures were bending over to clear weeds. The students from Tokiwadai Middle School who were passing by looked at these three struggling figures with some curiosity.

I don’t know when, Misaka-senpai and Natsume Sonoko joined the weeding team, and the relationship between them became closer without knowing it.

Misaka-senpai was bending over to pull weeds, and beside her was Shirai-san who was working harder. Natsume Sonoko fell at the end of the team and looked a little out of breath, even though she was only responsible for putting the weeds into garbage bags.

"it is finally over."

After Natsume Sonoko picked up the last few weeds in sight with trembling palms, she couldn't help but sit down on the playground, her whole body almost falling apart.

Misaka-senpai was in much better condition. She even went to the school vending machine to buy three bottles of drinks, which Shirai-san happily accepted immediately.

"Strawberry soda?" Natsume Sonoko picked up the drink bought by Misaka-senpai and discovered that it was a rare strawberry-flavored soda.

"Onee-sama, Natsume-san, there is still patrol duty at the Discipline Committee, I'm going to leave first." After Shirai Kuroko gulped down a bottle of soda, he reluctantly glanced at Misaka-senpai before he said.

As soon as he finished speaking, Shirai-san disappeared without a trace. His spatial movement was truly enviable.

"This guy is really busy." Misaka-senpai murmured while lying on the grass while taking a sip of her drink.

"Natsume-san, I have a question that I have always wanted to ask you. Don't you need to participate in club activities?" Misaka-senpai on the side turned her head and looked curiously at Natsume Sonoko, who was also resting comfortably on the grass.

"Don't worry, Misaka-senpai. I'm from the Urban Legend Investigation Club. There's no such thing as a mobile classroom. Lying here can actually be regarded as investigating urban legends." Natsume Sonoko opened one eye and looked at Misaka-senpai, her head Li didn't know what he was thinking.

[When the wind turbine blades of wind power generators rotate in reverse, strange changes will occur on the street] Misaka Mikoto, the subject of this urban legend, showed a look of surprise for a moment, as if she was lamenting that there is such a club in Tokiwadai Middle School that lets its members do nothing. exist.

"That's a really special club." Misaka-senpai said with emotion.

"It's really special." Natsume Sonoko, who thought she was investigating urban legends in a sense, nodded seriously and said with approval.

Chapter 8 Keep getting up early, Natsume-san

The night faded, and the morning sun shone on the student dormitory of Tokiwadai Middle School District No. [-].

In a certain 210 dormitory, the alarm bells rang one after another, as if a thousand chattering dormitory adults were talking, giving no time for rest.

But there's nothing you can do about it, after all, it's not someone else who sets the alarm time.

As if awakened by the noisy sound, a yawning figure slowly climbed up from the sofa and glanced helplessly at the alarm clock not far away.

Thin frost suddenly stained the apple-shaped alarm clock, and then the noisy sound gradually became quieter until it could no longer make any sound.

The small copper bell on the alarm clock was now frozen on the firing pin.The other parts of the alarm clock are still running normally. You can see from the alarm clock that the time is almost ten past seven.

With a burst of feeble grumbling, Natsume-san buried her head on the sofa again, hugging the big bear beside her and continued to sleep.

I'm so sleepy, why does it have to be dawn? --Complaints from Natsume-san.

He moved his eyes away from Natsume. At this time, in dormitory 210, there were two beds neatly placed in the middle. However, it was rare to see no quilts or pillows. There were only two white and clean beds. What brand of Simmons?

During any dormitory hygiene inspection, Natsume-san always won the award for the cleanest bed because there was almost nothing on her bed.

Ever since he developed the ability to control temperature, and also after he realized that a layer of constant temperature is attached to the body that lasts all year round (the brain is still running after sleeping).Things like beds are no longer necessary for Natsume-san.

As long as the place is clean, Natsume-san said that she can sleep comfortably.

On the contrary, the bottom of the bed was stuffed with all kinds of her treasures.

Ignore the mess under the bed.

There were sounds of walking and playing in twos and threes in the corridor outside the dormitory. There were sounds of people rushing back to the dormitory to get things, and there were also sounds of collisions when too many things were dropped on the ground. There might also be occasional sounds of some big sisters and you bastards. Sounds of unknown meaning.

It's so annoying. Natsume, who was woken up again, was still standing up. She was so messed up that she didn't want to think about anything. The only thing she wanted to do was complain about Tokiwadai Middle School's extremely strict schedule.

起床7：00--7：30；早饭7：30--8：00；

The first class at Tokiwadai Middle School starts at 8:30, and the remaining time is enough for the students to rush from the dormitory to school.

Natsume Sonoko seems to be a little unaccustomed to the routine she started in junior high school. After all, Natsume Sonoko went to an ordinary elementary school before, and there were no strict regulations like Tokiwadai Middle School.

I usually sleep until 10 minutes before class, then I slowly tidy up my appearance and arrive at the classroom 10 minutes early.

Just a few days after joining Tokiwadai, Natsume Sonoko encountered some troubles. While she needed to adapt to junior high school life, she was also preparing for the physical examination.

The whole person was in a state of sleep deprivation, and he even had two extra panda eyes on his face.

The flow of time will not be disturbed by human will at all. Natsume, who desperately wanted to pause time, had to make a difficult decision.

He opened his eyes in a daze, got off the sofa like a puppet, found Tokiwadai's school uniform from the box under the bed and put it on.

Wearing a beige knitted sweater with a V-neckline, a white short-sleeved shirt, and a gray pleated skirt, Natsume Sonoko changed out of her pajamas and put them in a box, then put the school uniform on her body skillfully.

Tokiwadai's school uniforms are all tailor-made. Natsume-san didn't feel the slightest discomfort. Instead, she looked much more energetic after wearing the uniform. Of course, it was best to ignore those sleepy panda eyes.

Natsume Sonoko subconsciously glanced at the time on the alarm clock. Now the frozen copper bell on the alarm clock had thawed, and the time was almost 25:[-].

"Fortunately, it's not too late." Natsume Sonoko's expression softened. It was much better than getting up at 29:[-] one day and almost being caught by the dormitory master.

At this time, the dormitory master should be checking the dormitory everywhere.Thinking of this, Natsume-san didn't dare to stay in the dormitory to wash up leisurely, and hurriedly walked towards the public bathroom of the students' dormitory. It was better to move quickly.

I must get up earlier next time and try to keep up with everyone!Don't get caught by the dormitory master!Natsume-san thought silently.

By the way, is there some strange oath mixed in?

However, Natsume-san also found that he was becoming more and more sleepy. Could this be a sign that he had entered a period of growth?Are you going to grow taller?

Not only does the student dormitory of Tokiwadai Middle School have independent bathrooms, but for the convenience of students, a public bathroom and washroom are also set up in the seventh school district student dormitory.Although it is still within the dormitory master's sphere of influence, there should be no chance of encountering the dormitory master until the inspection is completed.

When Natsume Sonoko went out, there was almost no one in the corridor, but she finally escaped the clutches of the dormitory master.When Natsume Sonoko arrived near the public washroom, she only saw one classmate who had finished washing and was about to go to the cafeteria for breakfast.
