Temperature Control in Academy City

Could it be that someone called again?

That hedgehog-haired boy, or Natsume-san?

"Heizi, this is my mother."

"My mother is going to the Cliff University in Academy City to look up some information needed for a university project. She originally only opened a temporary pass for a few hours tonight."

"But this time, I met a friend I made during the Daiha Star Festival on the road again. He also had something to do in Academy City, so after an additional application, Academy City adjusted the pass for both of us to about one day."

Misaka Mikoto's tone was quite happy, and she even looked a little beaming.

It has been many days since the Daihastar Festival, and Misaka-senpai finally got rid of her dependence on her parents. I remember that during the days when she was haunted by the memories of the deaths of the Misaka sisters, Misaka-senpai was almost always around her mother.

With the encouragement of her mother and friends, she finally regained her spirits.

But then again, tomorrow is still a weekday and classes at school have to go on as normal, so this is a very big problem.

This means that the day cannot be utilized well at all, and most of the time has to be spent on other things.

All in all, the time we have available is only from the club activity tomorrow to the evening.

"What a shame, I wish I had known this earlier."

"You can't do anything during the club activities."

Suddenly I have a headache again, Misaka-senpai said with an unwilling look on her face, crossing her arms across her chest and looking a little irritated.

It is too late to ask for leave now, and I have to wait until tomorrow to complete the leave application process at Tokiwadai.

As for skipping classes, there is even less hope. It is impossible for a girl who likes Bilibili to skip classes blatantly in front of her mother.

"Ah, it's Mother."

Shirai Kuroko was suddenly shocked and his body couldn't help but tremble.

A larger version of her elder sister instantly appeared in her head, and her tone became excited.

Just thinking about my elder sister and her mother makes my breathing quicken.

She didn't seize the opportunity during the last Daihaxing Festival. If she could get her mother's approval, there would be hope for her and her elder sister to live a happy life.

"Heizi! You should call me auntie."

"And what's that expression on your face? You look more excited than I am."

A black line appeared near her forehead, and Senior Misaka immediately used a Hell-killing Hand Knife.

It seemed that because she was in a very good mood, Misaka Mikoto became a little gentle in controlling her strength, leaving only a shallow red spot on Shirai's head.

"But then again, the friend my mom met at the Daihastar Festival couldn't be Natsume-san's parents, could it be?"

Silently recalling something, Misaka-senpai held up her chin with one hand, a thoughtful expression on her face.

The more I think about it, the more possible it seems. Speaking of which, the new friend Ms. Meiling made at the Daihasei Festival probably doesn't have any other people.

However, it is also concerning that Natsume's parents came to Academy City at this time. In addition to the war, it may also be related to some business dealings.

"Since Onee-sama's mother is coming, I will be your tour guide tomorrow."

"Even if it's only during this period of time after the club activities, I will definitely be able to satisfy Auntie and Sister."

"During the Daihastar Festival, many important areas were closed, so it was impossible to appreciate the full scenery of Academy City. I know many restricted areas that ordinary people don't know about."

Holding his head with both hands and looking aggrieved, Shirai Kuroko quickly recovered and immediately spoke confidently.

"Is this okay?"

There was a sudden hesitation on Misaka-senpai's face.

If you ask Heizi to help, you can save a lot of time. After all, Heizi is always reassuring when it comes to serious matters.

"No, Misaka-senpai."

"Tomorrow is the media open day for the 'Intercept Weapons Show'. According to the security teacher's request, the discipline committee of District 7 will be specially convened after school to maintain order. When it comes to the public open day on the weekend, it will be convened for a whole day."

"Due to Shirai-san's performance so far, Mr. Yomizumi specifically requested that she be present."

At this moment, Hatsuharu's soft voice came from the headset, immediately interrupting the idea of ​​moving through space to perform well in front of Misaka-senpai's parents.

This is also one of the rare occasions when the security teachers need to call for support.

Because the personnel operating the intercepting weapons in the show were all security teachers, there were naturally not enough people to maintain order in the surrounding area.

"Hatsuharu, I know this without you telling me."

"Why not just add the 'Interceptor Weapons Show' as a place to go?"

There was a slight embarrassment on Shirai Kuroko's face, and she spoke rather impolitely in the direction of her elder sister.

Because of the electric shock she received from her elder sister, the headset used to communicate with Hatsuharu is still on her.

"'Interceptor Weapon Show'? The show that displays tanks and drive armor. It's happening these days."

Misaka-senpai said thoughtfully, clearly lacking sufficient interest in this performance.

Some of the weapons in Academy City that she had dismantled could probably fill the entire venue.

Chapter 712: Bow and Arrow Tiger Hunting and New Vehicles

There was no cleaning robot to find on the street, and no extra change to take the tram or other means of transportation. The girl suddenly lost several means of transportation and felt as if she had been abandoned by the whole world.

As for the behavior of using one's ability to travel no matter what, probably only a guy like Shirai who lacks fun can do it. In fact, Natsume Sonoko cares more about a sense of ritual in life.

At this time, on a bus heading to the Seventh School District, a girl with a serious face stood condescendingly on the edge of the roof.

The hem of her school uniform was rustling in the strong wind, the bun on her head was shaking left and right, and one hand was holding a mobile phone with the screen turned off, and it seemed that she had just been browsing something.

The next second, a traffic light at an intersection passed right above the girl's head.

Fortunately, since I am too short, I don’t have to worry about being hit by something on the road when standing on the roof of the car. So everything has its pros and cons.

In this academy city, there seem to be many things like cleaning robots that can be seen everywhere and can automatically find their way. A smart girl found a new target at the first time.

As long as you memorize the bus route map well, you can achieve a similar effect as a cleaning robot.

It's just that buses can't go to alleys and back streets, and they stop at stations from time to time, which makes them less convenient than cleaning robots. But considering that bus routes are fixed and public, there is no possibility that someone can easily know your movements.

At the same time, because the light around her is refracted, she will not be captured by the traffic cameras along the way.

"What a strange feeling. Am I considered evading the ticket?"

"Well...it shouldn't be considered as evading the ticket, after all, I don't have a seat to sit on."

With a slightly uncomfortable expression, Natsume Sonoko muttered to herself.

Although the view on the roof of the bus was nice, it didn't quite fit Natsume Sonoko's definition of an excellent young lady.

Even an ordinary young lady would not casually appear on the roof of a bus.

But there is no good solution now. She is trying her best to live under the difficult conditions.

When she has money in the future, Natsume Sonoko will replace the bicycle she parked in the small garden of the student dormitory with a high-tech skateboard with six speeds sold on TV shopping. In short, everything will be fine.

As the bus under my feet quickly passed by one stop after another, it quickly traveled half the distance of Academy City.

Natsume Sonoko also gradually adapted to the rhythm of the bus, at least in terms of speed, which far exceeded that of the cleaning robot.

However, they encountered some accidents halfway through the journey. Many security vehicles began to gather on the road that was originally driving normally, causing a slight traffic congestion here.

"Hey, so this is the venue for the 'Interceptor Weapon Show'."

Natsume Sonoko was slightly stunned, and saw a temporary venue for the "Interceptor Weapon Show" from a distance. She remembered that this should have been a children's park not long ago.

It seems that this venue undoubtedly took a lot of thought from the Academy City officials.

Signs and advertisements introducing the performances can be seen from far away, and even the location is in the prime area of ​​the Seventh School District, almost in the center of several major roads.

Natsume Sonoko also had some impression of this performance. Her classmate Makumi from school came to tell her about the open day of the venue.

Although it was mentioned that the discipline committee members would come to act as guards, Natsume Sonoko was definitely not happy to go. She had only participated in such collective activities of the discipline committee members a few times, and it seemed that every time there was a big commotion, either flooding the venue or burning the park.

Even Teacher Huang Quanchuan only asked her to eat well and grow up quickly.

Hatsuharu and the others have even lower requirements; it is enough for Natsume-san to remember that he is a discipline committee member.

"It's a weapon that will be used in war in the future."

This thought popped into Natsume Sonoko's mind the first time, and her originally good mood suddenly became not so good.

Having said that, Natsume Sonoko can be considered an avid technology fan.

However, what she is keen on is the technology that can bring convenience or add fun to life. Something that can take away life at will is naturally not within Natsume Sonoko's interest.

Street fights among students were mostly conducted with restraint and mercy, but wars among adults became horrific scenes of death and destruction.

Of course, she also knew that there would be no shortage of weapons, and even the ability users themselves could be considered a weapon.

The usual description of these people with super powers in Academy City includes phrases such as "capable of facing off against a modern army."

Natsume Sonoko still agrees with this point.

Just taking herself as an example, she doesn't think that a modern army can threaten her at all. Her ability is naturally able to restrain most ordinary people who need to breathe.

"By the way, is that person Senior Archer Tiger Hunter?"

At this time, Natsume Sonoko couldn't help but tilt her head and said with some concern.

The view standing on the roof is very wide, and you can see clearly even without a radar map.

A young girl with a violin case on her back stood quietly around the venue. She was not wearing the school uniform of the private Shidare Sakura School, but only a slim-fitting women's shirt.

She had a calm smile on her face, looking into the venue like an ordinary person, blending perfectly into the environment. It was as if her presence became inexplicably weak as long as she was in the crowd.

If Natsume Sonoko was not very familiar with this senior, the two of them would occasionally communicate with each other and might have missed each other.

Even though the other person is a real beauty in appearance and her figure exceeds that of an average junior high school student, in reality she lacks enough attention.

This trait seems to be very suitable for being an Anbu member, but in a sense it feels a bit pitiful.

And since the venue of the weapons show has not been officially opened, only some internal staff or permitted people can enter, and many people can only wait outside the venue.

As the crowd grew, the presence of that senior student was almost diminishing to the point of disappearing.

"Is it some kind of ANBU mission? Preventing someone from coming to the venue and causing trouble or something."

"The atmosphere is so tense right now that it's easy for some guys to come out and cause trouble."

Natsume Sonoko immediately thought of the other party's job, and was not surprised that the other party would appear here.

Compared to jobs involving killing or assaulting, this kind of guarding job might be better.

However, Natsume Sonoko still dislikes the existence of the Anbu as always, but she is much more tolerant when it comes to some individuals.

"In addition to the eye-catching drive armor and tanks, this interception weapon exhibition will also display many new types of sniper equipment, and many of the exhibited equipment are on display for the first time."

"Media open days and public open days are not suitable for careful observation of performance, so we can only choose occasions like this where there are not many people."

At this time, around the venue, Archer Hunter was holding a certificate forged by the Anbu in his hand, ready to enter when the guards were away.

Although the certificate in her hand was forged, it did not mean that it was unusable. She could pass through the security measures of the venue normally. Avoiding the security guards was just a professional habit she had developed.

In order to better complete the work of the Anbu, the archer Hunter Tiger, who is a person without super powers, tries to improve his strength through various means. The simplest way is to constantly understand and transform the hunting bow in his hand.

She is also very interested in various modern weapons, and thinks that this is a way to make up for the talents of people with special abilities. This is completely different from a certain girl with a bun.

"Archer-senpai, are you working?"

At this moment, a small hand suddenly climbed onto the bow and arrow tiger hunter's shoulder.

The next second, it was like a cat with its fur standing on end.

The girl, whose presence was weak, froze all over, gritted her teeth, turned around instantly, and subconsciously raised the sniper rifle hidden in her arm.

Chapter 713: Strange Characters and Interests

Someone approached me silently, and I didn't notice the other person until he got close.

For a sniper like the Archer Hunter who needs to hide herself, this is almost a fatal mistake, and it also means that she no longer has any room for error.

Her head felt like an exploding watermelon. The nervous Anbu girl had no time to think about who was behind her. Her body twisted as if by instinct, ready to find an opportunity to create some distance at the cost of an arm.

It is obvious that she can blend into the environment almost perfectly and can even accurately detect her own people in this situation. She must be a difficult person to deal with.

But her body stopped abruptly when she was halfway through the series of bow and arrow tiger hunting actions, and a cheap ice cream cone with some fruit pieces on it almost hit her face.
