Academy City Temperature Control

"Yes, today is still the day for the physical examination." Misaka-senpai nodded thoughtfully, remembering that today is indeed the day for the physical examination.

"Work hard, Natsume-san. As long as you perform normally, it will be easy for you to pass the exam." Misaka-senpai said encouragingly to Natsume Sonoko.

The physical examination started at eleven o'clock, but Natsume Sonoko still took the campus bus and rushed to school early. After all, it was the first physical examination of a junior high school, and it was necessary to familiarize herself with the venue in advance.

Misaka-senpai should be wandering the streets now, and by the way, she will deal with some unscrupulous young people who want to cause trouble with the railgun, and conduct a brutal attack on a certain vending machine numbered 7-1165 to get a bottle of drink.

Perhaps when Misaka-senpai is kicking the vending machine at 90 degrees, she will encounter Kuroko who deliberately squats down to peek, and then she is disappointed to find a pair of safety pants.

These things only remained in Natsume Sonoko's mind for a second, and then she looked at the scenery outside the car window with some boredom, her black handbag on her knees, one hand on the edge of the car window and the other holding her head.

The car windows are fully sealed. Even if you want to open the windows to get some air, you can only stare at the dense crowd outside the window in a daze.

Obviously I have done this kind of physical examination countless times, and the test time is only 10 minutes at most, not including queuing, so I just need to stay calm.

When we arrived at Tokiwadai Middle School, there were only a few students on campus. Instead, various staff and teachers were busy setting up various instruments for testing.

A team of seven or eight people is setting up something in the school swimming pool. Various wire probes are placed in the swimming pool. Several people wearing glasses and white coats are debugging the machine.

Natsume's ability is a remote telekinesis ability, which requires not only basic telekinesis checks, but also related remote operation assessments in the playground.

【...】

At the entrance of the first teaching building of Tokiwadai School, an ultra-thin display screen as tall as one person was erected there. Natsume Sonoko looked at the content above to find the location for the physical examination.

It's not yet time for the test to start, so Natsume Sonoko feels a little nervous but also a little expectant, idly watching the busy teachers setting up various test equipment.

After walking around in the garden of Tokiwadai for a few times and buying a bottle of drink from the school vending machine, all the emotions in my heart were calmed down. I went to the teacher in charge to get the physical examination form and settled down. Feel free to go and wait in line outside classroom No. 15 of the first teaching building.

Alas, I was not the first one. Natsume Sonoko felt a little surprised. There was already a student from Tokiwadai waiting at the door of the basic examination of nen power.

There is still half an hour before the test starts, so Misaka-senpai and Kuroko-san are just starting to rush to school.

"It's Mitsuko after marriage." Natsume Sonoko recognized the other party as Mitsuko after marriage, a person with great ability at Tokiwadai lv4.

Her ability is to use her hands to hit objects or people, and the material will produce a jet of air, thus generating huge kinetic energy. She is a well-deserved air user.

My senior student just transferred from another school after getting married and is now a second-year student in Tokiwadai. She always carries a gorgeous folding fan in her hand. I heard that some of her are difficult to get along with and she doesn’t have many friends at all.

Touching the air with air is naturally within the scope of the post-marriage senior's abilities. In other words, the post-marriage photon senior is a powerful being who can create air cannons with the palm of her hand.

Don't underestimate her just because she is known as "First Blood After Marriage" in the super cannon anime. Her strength is undoubted. In her own words, there is nothing she can't shoot.

Natsume Sonoko sat quietly in her seat, and Mitsuko-senpai seemed to have no intention of communicating.

It was just that after the marriage, Mitsuko-senpai kept fanning herself with a fan, and occasionally turned around to look at Natsume Sonoko, who was holding the medical examination sheet and looking at it seriously. She glanced at her again and again, causing Natsume Sonoko to almost I have to bury my head in the physical examination form.

"This is the first time we meet, I am Natsume Sonoko, a first-year student." It seemed that she couldn't bear the awkward atmosphere. In order to break the deadlock, Natsume Sonoko spoke to the married senior Mitsuko who was sitting not far away.

"Huh~huh~huh~." After the wedding, Senior Sister Mitsuko held the folding fan to her mouth. The folding fan slowly opened to cover most of her face, accompanied by a somewhat arrogant laugh.

"Are you the one talking to me? Don't you know that I am Mitsuko, the post-marriage student of Tokiwadai Middle School?" Revealing her eyes from the folding fan, Mitsuko the post-marriage senior raised her head slightly, looking condescendingly to the side. Natsume Sonoko’s classmate seems to be deliberately pretending that I am great.

"Oh, yes, married senior, I am Natsume Sonoko, a first-year student." The words in Natsume Sonoko's mouth suddenly stopped, as if she was choked by something, so she had to introduce herself again, feeling that she took the initiative. It was indeed a bit reckless to talk to him.

Although I knew that Mitsuko-senpai was a bit domineering after marriage but she didn't have any malicious personality, it was strange to be uncomfortable when I first came into contact with her. Why did she feel so familiar with the domineering and arrogant Venomous Snake lady?

"Since you introduced yourself so sincerely, you must have been attracted by my excellence. Then I can only reluctantly invite you to visit my Western dolls. There will be a tea party in my dormitory at nine o'clock tomorrow. The lady has specifically approved your participation." After the wedding, Mitsuko folded the folding fan, with an arrogant look on his face, but the expectation and joy in his eyes could not be concealed.

"I'll think about this." Natsume Sonoko was completely taken aback. For this kind of out-of-the-box thinking, Natsume Sonoko said that she was not mentally prepared at all.

"Anyway, the tea party will start whether you come or not, but don't think that I care too much." After the wedding, Mitsuko raised his head to reveal his smooth neck, like a proud white swan, and once again looked down at the man with a ball head on his side. of someone.

"Huh." Natsume Sonoko suddenly felt even more embarrassed and embarrassed. It was obviously just the first time we met and we said hello. Is this how seniors make friends with others after marriage?

Mitsuko, who was beside her after marriage, paid no attention to Natsume Sonoko's thoughts. She sat in her seat and began to close her eyes and meditate, as if she didn't care about Natsume Sonoko's decision at all.

Chapter 11 Comprehensive evaluation, lv4

There was a fragrance from her long, silky black hair, and the gorgeous folding fan in her hand was folded gently. After the marriage, Senior Sister Guangzi tidied her messy hair for a while, then stood up and walked into the examination classroom at the teacher's call.

After getting married, the senior sister was the first, and Natsume Sonoko was naturally the second after her.

The team at this time was already small in size. Behind Natsume Sonoko, seven or eight people had gathered one after another.It's already eleven o'clock.

Natsume Sonoko tilted her head slightly and looked towards the classroom where the physical examination was held. There was no gauze curtain blocking the view. After marriage, senior Mitsuko was sitting opposite the teacher, holding a fan.

Natsume Sonoko's heart tightened for no reason, as if she was worried that this senior would do something weird or say something strange.

However, Natsume Sonoko's worries were unnecessary. The senior just put a fan in front of her cheek, and then started the test normally, and it only took 2 minutes to finish according to the teacher's request.

The test of the married senior was very interesting. The teacher actually took out a small triangle and asked the married senior to use her abilities to play a melody.

The melody played by the senior sister after marriage is also very familiar. It is the Tokiwadai class bell that Natsume Sonoko is most familiar with. The end of the ringing also means that Natsume Sonoko's test is about to begin.

After getting married, the senior sister took back the physical examination form from the teacher and walked out of the class. She looked at the many students waiting outside the door and looked at her, with a proud look on her face.

"It's really disappointing that there is only this level of testing. Are you fascinated by my music?"

“…”

"next."

The teacher's voice came from the class. Natsume Sonoko didn't care to talk to her married senior sister, so she hurriedly walked into the classroom and saw that the teacher had taken back the small triangle.

"First grade Natsume Sonoko, her ability is temperature control." The testing teacher picked up Natsume Sonoko's physical examination sheet, then raised her head and glanced at Natsume Sonoko who was sitting in her seat.

"Then please, Natsume-san, please lower the temperature of this glass of water. Ice water will do." The inspection teacher took a glass of water from the water dispenser on the side and looked at Natsume Sonoko with a smile.

"Okay, I'm fine." Natsume Sonoko nodded towards the teacher, glanced at the water glass, and then the surface of the water naturally began to freeze.

Natsume Sonoko's test went very smoothly, one minute faster than her married senior sister.

But when Natsume Sonoko walked out of the classroom, her senior sister had disappeared.

After looking at the word "passed" on the physical examination form, Natsume Sonoko also walked straight towards the playground. The basic test of telekinesis was more like a display of ability.

In fact, the remote operation assessment of the telekinesis system is the test that truly reflects the level of the ability user. As long as the ability user's level exceeds a certain rating standard, then the ability user's rating can naturally be improved.

Arriving at the Tokiwadai playground, Natsume Sonoko passed by the open-air swimming pool again. There were still no students from the swimming club inside, only a bunch of machines and equipment for testing. There were guards near the gate of the swimming pool, and it seemed that no one was allowed to enter. .

"It's Misaka-senpai." Natsume Sonoko's eyes widened a bit. Misaka-senpai was already standing in front of the swimming pool, looking a little bored. Beside her were several men and women who were waiting in full formation. They should be specialized testers responsible for level 5.

Misaka-senpai was holding a few coin-like objects in her hand and tossing them back and forth. These were naturally the railgun's shells.

"Okay, the instrument is debugged. Misaka-san, we can start testing." The leading researcher waved to Misaka-senpai and several people operating the instrument, indicating that the test can begin.

The area near the swimming pool has been blocked off, and Natsume Sonoko can only watch the testing situation at the swimming pool from a distance.

boom.

Dazzling beams of light streaked across the calm sky, and blue-white electric lights flashed over the swimming pool.

The impact of the blue-white light column and the water surface sounded, like a sudden thunder in the daytime. A huge water column of 50 meters high rose into the sky, and the powerful vibration spread almost throughout most of the campus.

Even though the power of the railgun was buffered by the pool, it still had great kinetic energy. Someone who had made some simple preparations and was waiting quietly to watch the railgun launch was directly knocked to the ground.

Natsume Sonoko, who was obviously underprepared, let go of the sapling she was holding casually under the influence of the huge kinetic energy. She could only fall to the ground and feel the aftermath of the continuous shock, and then struggled to stand up.

boom.

Once again, a huge column of water rose into the sky, and Natsume Sonoko stumbled to the ground again.

After eight consecutive huge impacts, and after waiting for more than ten seconds without hearing the sound of the shells hitting the water, Natsume Sonoko finally stood up from the ground cautiously, looking at the stained ground with some tears. Earthy pleated skirt.

"Record, the muzzle velocity of the shell is 1030m per second, the burst capability is eight rounds per minute, the impact point distribution is 18.9mm, and the comprehensive evaluation is lv5."

The radio in the swimming pool sounded in the distance. At this time, Natsume Sonoko was patting the dirt and dust on her skirt in distress.

"As expected of Misaka-senpai." Natsume Sonoko finally patted the dirt off, and after hearing Misaka-senpai's results, she couldn't help but feel a little more emotional.

Especially Misaka-senpai's eight consecutive shots, the distribution distance of the bullet points was only 18.9 millimeters. This kind of super electromagnetic gun that can be accurate to the millimeter level is the greatest expression of Misaka-senpai's dominance.

Misaka-senpai's test has come to an end, and Natsume Sonoko will naturally not forget her remote operation test. After all, today is a critical moment for her to be promoted to level 4.

Natsume Sonoko said hello to Misaka-senpai who had finished the test from afar, and then walked towards the changing room near the playground.

You need to put on Tokiwadai's gymnastics uniforms when doing activities on the playground, even if it's just a short physical examination. This was also the case when I was pulling weeds near the playground with Misaka-senpai Kuroko-san a few days ago.

Tokiwadai's gymnastics uniform is a sleeveless round-neck shirt with red stripes on the cuffs. There are two red stripes, a round collar and a V-neck, superimposed on the collar. There is Tokiwadai's school emblem on the left chest.

Natsume Sonoko's gymnastics clothes have been stored in the school's changing room. After changing into clothes, Natsume Sonoko asked the teacher to start testing her abilities.

On the road, I saw traces of my married senior sister from a distance. She was having a heated conversation with Kuroko, and the atmosphere between them didn't seem to be very harmonious.

Thinking about it, the senior sister is indeed not an easy person to get along with after marriage, and Kuroko-san is also a bit strong on weekdays.

It took 5 minutes to find the testing location, and Natsume Sonoko came to a corner of the playground.

This is a straight sand runway, with a starting point set by a white line, and temperature detection targets set every 20 meters in the middle. The farthest one is 140 meters away from the starting point.

There are also some computers placed around, which should be connected to these large targets.

At the same time, there are a lot of fire-fighting equipment and teachers holding fire extinguishers near this monitoring point, as if they don't have much confidence in Natsume Sonoko's temperature-related abilities.

There is another student at the testing point, a person with the ability to generate anger.In fact, this detection point was originally built for people with the ability to generate fire.His own temperature control and even detection were all influenced by people with the same ability. .

In the eyes of Natsume Sonoko in amazement, the opponent was using his hands to roll a [-] cm diameter flame ball in the air, and controlled it to hit the fourth target, but it ended up falling near the target.

Because it didn't deviate too far, it still landed on the sand. The flames quickly extinguished, leaving a black mark on the ground.The teacher holding the fire extinguisher on the side breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the result of the previous classmate was a bit unsatisfactory, it did not shake Natsume Sonoko's confidence.

Just when Natsume Sonoko submitted the medical examination form, several teachers were obviously relieved, as long as they were not people with the ability to get into trouble easily.

"Natsume Sonoko-kun, let's start the first step of the test."

"Use your ability to influence these detection targets as much as possible. After reaching the limit, maintain the temperature of the farthest target at fifty degrees Celsius." The teacher on the side said, asking Natsume Sonoko to start remote detection.

"Yes." Natsume Sonoko nodded towards the teachers.

Natsume Sonoko didn't need to use the movements of her hands like the previous fire-generating users, and seemed to just stand there blankly.

Amidst the puzzled expressions of several teachers, the first temperature target received feedback data, followed by the second, third, and fourth targets, and it ended with the fifth target.

A teacher put on a simple protective suit and held a handheld thermometer. He hurriedly ran to the fifth temperature target and drew a white line at the farthest point where the temperature change was felt.

The first test was completed, but Natsume Sonoko's test was not over yet.

At the teacher's request, Natsume Sonoko began to unleash her full power on the nearest target, either raising or lowering the temperature.

The temperature near the target began to rise very quickly, as if the air was becoming scorched.

The surrounding temperature also began to increase, waves of heat hit the surrounding crowd, and sweat began to flow down uncontrollably.

"It's so hot." Someone among the teachers couldn't help shouting.

"It's almost done. Natsume Sonoko, you can end the test." The teacher who was doing the test carefully checked the changes in the data in the computer while enduring the scorching heat.

Seeing that the curve had become flat and the position of the highest point had been determined, he immediately spoke and ended Natsume Sonoko's detection.

In fact, the Far Beyond Operational Assessment only selects a few intuitive aspects of ability for testing, and is only used to determine the ability level of the ability user. After all, this is not a professional research institute.

"It's finally over." Several teachers felt like they were surviving a disaster. It was just the impact of their abilities, but the temperature around them was about to reach over 50 degrees Celsius.

Natsume Sonoko withdrew her ability, and there was a trace of nervousness on her face while waiting for results, but there were no traces of being invaded by the high temperature on her face.The more Natsume-san tries his best to use his abilities, the more the thermostatic layer on his body will not come down.

"Is this level 4? I'm a little nervous." Natsume Sonoko's heartbeat began to accelerate.

"Record, the temperature control limit range is 103.56m, the temperature change limit is 101.33 degrees Celsius, and the temperature deviation is 6.51 degrees Celsius. Comprehensive evaluation lv4."

Chapter 12 A date battle that ends before it even begins

On the corner of Tokiwadai Middle School playground.

The remnants of the high temperature were still spreading around. Without someone's control, the high temperature gathered around the temperature target formed waves of manic hot wind. The heat spread out in all directions, scaring several teachers and quickly backed away.

Air waves of nearly [-] degrees Celsius can easily burn human skin

Natsume Sonoko was immersed in the joy of being promoted to level 4. The nervousness in her heart was swept away, replaced by a sense of satisfaction that filled her chest. The smile on her face had bloomed, like a blooming flower.

At the same time, what makes Natsume even more happy is that this month’s scholarship is not only supported by subsidies from Tokiwadai Middle School, but also a scholarship for becoming lv4.
