Temperature Control in Academy City

"..."

"that..."

"Mugi seems a bit busy."

With some disdain, she took the phone several dozen centimeters away from her ear. The sound of Mugino's anger was too harsh. Kinuhata loved to stick out her tongue, and felt that it was just as hard to describe as Mugino's laughter.

For the Anbu, having a heroic voice is a nice plus, but femininity still needs to be improved in some obvious ways. Kinuhata thought she was probably the most feminine of the 'tools', until she accidentally lowered her head and saw her barren chest.

Fortunately, there is still Flanda and I... Never mind, at least she is much stronger than the former rookie who was blown to pieces a year ago in "Props". At least the other party will never be able to develop again.

By the way, what’s the name of the new guy?

Kinuhata didn't like to recall the information about the dead. It seemed that the person was called Hanano Chaomei, and he died in a battle to besiege a "prop" enemy force.

By the way, the leader of the hostile force that besieged us at the time seemed to be a real lady from Tokiwadai.

Although she appears to be a gentle, dignified and respectable lady, she secretly organizes an underground fighting competition called "Arena". Not only has she caused a series of casualties just for her interest, but she has also earned more than 80 billion yen through the death insurance of the players.

The ending is naturally the entry of the "props", the opponent is unable to escape Takitsubo's pursuit, is blocked by Mugino and then chopped into pieces.

Because Mugino was so ruthless, the victim's body has not been found in Academy City until now. Only the blood-stained school uniform fragments were discarded as waste in a nearby trash can.

However, unlike the Tokiwadai lady who was cut into pieces by Maito, the eighth one in front of her is also a terrifying character of the wild beast type among the many greenhouse ladies. Her record of fighting against the first one is still very intimidating to most of the Anbu.

And Mai Ye really cares about the eighth place, at least she cares more than she does who just wants to get back at someone.

After all, the eighth one has a record of using similar atomic collapse moves in public many times, which makes a certain genuine high school girl feel unbearable, and she has to find the other party to have a good communication.

The most important thing is that Mai Ye feels that she may not lose.

In fact, they have been looking for the eighth person for a long time. There is a similar reason why Kinuhata's favorite appeared on the road from Tokiwadai Student Dormitory to the School Garden. All members of "Tool" are looking for information about the eighth person at the request of Maizono Shenli.

Among the many things that "Props" currently has to do, finding an opportunity to block a certain bun-haired girl on the way to and from school has become the most important thing.

However, until today, no trace of the other party had been captured, and the only information found was that he had taken the Tokiwadai school bus several times.

Of course, they would definitely not choose to target the school bus. As of now, anyone who chooses to target the Xueshe Garden school bus will die easily, and the intermediary will definitely sell them out first.

Just as Kinuaki Zuiai thought, after calling the middleman and venting his anger, Maiye Shenli immediately came to his senses and continued to ask Kinuaki Zuiai for information.

"Is that junior high school kid still there? Kinuhata, pay attention to tracking her location." Mai Ye Shenli said.

"That's no problem, but Mugino won't be able to catch up if he wants to. The next kilometer is all downhill, and the distance to the school garden is only a little over two kilometers. The eighth place has already picked up the bicycle and is ready to speed up."

Kinuhata recalled the next route and thought for a while before speaking.

"But this afternoon after school should be a good opportunity, and maybe I can meet the eighth one tomorrow morning."

Kinuhata took a sip of her hot chocolate drink with satisfaction, finishing her breakfast time comfortably, and then said this in a serious tone.

It's not a big deal to pick on some junior high school girls on the street, as long as you don't do anything to irritate some important people.

However, Kinuhata's favorite suddenly became worried about Mugino and themselves. Even if they brought all the members of the Anbu's "tools", could they really suppress the current eighth place?

The eighth number's battle record in the Anbu has long been more than just the battle with Accelerator. It would be very embarrassing if he were to be taught a lesson by a junior high school girl.

But looking at Mai Ye's confident look, I think he can still be trusted.

Chapter 756: Eight Factions

"Name?"

"Hama...Hamazura Shiage"

"age?"

"About sixteen."

"The things I love?"

"Well, it should be said that it is the surging breasts and the bunny girl."

"...I see."

The high school girl squatted on the ground obediently, with her hands folded and hugging the inside of her knees, and with a face full of nonsense, she tilted her head and looked at the strange yellow-haired boy who was unable to move on the ground.

Among the many bad boys who fell to the ground, the yellow-haired boy in front of him was probably one of the most eye-catching guys. The only one who could be compared to him was another big guy who was as strong as a gorilla.

At this time, there was a large sticky note that could be bought anywhere stuck on the forehead of the yellow-haired boy, and a nose ring that looked like it had just been put in was embedded in the middle of his nose. His hair was messy and disordered because he hadn't taken care of it for a long time.

The body lying on the ground formed a "big" shape, and one side of the head was unwillingly pressed to the ground, struggling on the spot with all its might.

However, his eyes never left the high school girl in front of him, and he kept trying to look up along her legs.

He didn't have any other ideas. Hamazura Shiage could hardly move his eyes. He could only observe the movements around him with great difficulty, and at the same time wanted to see who the guys in front of them were.

“Is this a tracksuit?”

"I wasn't sent to a school gymnasium, was I?"

Hamazura Shiage opened his eyes wide, and finally saw the pink loose-fitting sportswear at the ankles of the figure in front of him, thinking in amazement.

His memory stopped at the time when he confronted a group of armed men, and he was filled with righteous indignation and wanted to face the difficulties together with Komaba.

In fact, instead of confronting those guys of unknown origin head-on, he was more inclined to run away with Komaba and the others, as long as he could create a little noise and attract those people's attention... But before he could make any move, he appeared here in the blink of an eye, leaving him no room to move.

As for the questions raised by the girl in sportswear, he just said whatever he wanted to say and tried his best to meet the other party's needs.

On the one hand, it was to delay time, and on the other hand, he probably wanted to figure out the current situation. It was great to find someone who was willing to talk to him.

"Don't move, there are traps on the floor."

"Although it has been mostly destroyed by the people who sent you here, there might still be some that are functioning normally."

The faceless high school girl thought for a while before reminding him belatedly.

As a backup safe house for "props", a series of security measures are naturally indispensable. Due to the cruel nature of the dark activities, high-tech weapons and traps with lethality are installed.

This safe house was responsible for delaying and blocking the enemy, and it was surprising that it could handle all of this without alerting them.

That's why Mugino was so unhappy. It seemed that the strange ANBU was the type who was good at dealing with technological products, which meant that the safe house they were currently using was not safe enough.

"Forehead?"

Cold sweat immediately appeared on his cheeks. Hamazura Shiage, who had been in a state of restlessness, finally froze all over. He suddenly smelled a dangerous scent.

It turns out that it can trigger a mechanism. Where have they been sent to?

But then again, what was the purpose of those armed men who kidnapped them before?

Could it be that he packaged them and sold them to the girls in front of him?

"Takitsubo, inform Frenda that there is work this afternoon."

“Let her take everything she needs.”

Mai Ye Shenli, who was sitting on the sofa, opened his eyes and said in an unquestionable tone.

"I see."

Takitsubo Rikou nodded obediently and shifted her gaze to Mugino.

In the Anbu, following the leader's orders is almost instinctive.

She almost never disobeys Mai Ye's orders, and seems to have no opinions of her own no matter what they do, as if she always has an expressionless face.

"Mugito, it looks like the members of this lower level organization have woken up."

Takitsubo Rikou pointed at Hamazura Shiage and warned him.

"Um? Can you tell me what happened?"

Hamazura Shiage's expression was a little forced, and he swallowed and spoke hesitantly.

......

Natsume Sonoko naturally had no idea that she might be blocked by bad girls in the future after school. She hadn't even decided which route to take after school.

According to Natsume Sonoko's usual lifestyle, it is almost unrealistic not to stroll around the streets for a few hours after school, and she may not necessarily take the fixed route to school.

However, as long as we hack into the surveillance video near the school garden, we might be able to find any traces of the bun-haired girl's movements.

The school garden is still as lively as before today. A girl pushing a bicycle quickly swiped her card and entered the school along with the crowd.

There are almost no girls like Natsume Sonoko who ride bicycles to school in the school garden, which also means that there are no parking sheds for bicycles.

However, this was not a problem at all for Natsume Sonoko. Even the bun-haired girl who had just entered Tokiwadai could find a solution. She just had to leave the car at the restaurant on Tokiwadai campus.

And then I'll ask Tsuchimikado-san, who is always so easy to talk to, to keep it for me.

"ended."

Leaving the restaurant's storage room, Natsume Sonoko waved goodbye to Tsuchimikado.

Apart from a few minor issues on the road, everything seemed to go smoothly on my first day back on the bike.

While passing by the faction building of Tokiwadai, Natsume Sonoko paid attention to it for a while.

As the student union election draws closer, tensions between factions seem to be growing.

For many leaders of small factions, even if they cannot compete for the title of "Eternal Princess", having the resume of the president of the Tokiwadai Student Union is also a good choice, which is enough to gain considerable benefits in high school and college.

But up to now, the largest faction has not participated in the student union election.

Although the friction between the remaining small factions became more intense, it was still at a controllable level and did not develop into a factional war at all.

There are so many people early in the morning.

The radar map is on 24/7. Natsume Sonoko sensed the traces of humans near the faction building and thought with some emotion.

In Tokiwadai, students without factions only accounted for 21% of the total number of students, the Shokuhou faction accounted for 41%, and the remaining 38% was divided up by the other seven factions.

As of now, there are only eight factions and leaders in the entire Tokiwadai Junior High School.

In addition to Shokuhou-senpai and Masaoin Tsukasa-senpai from the Masaoin faction, there are also Kamino-senpai from the Kamino faction, Kokucho-senpai Maiyu-senpai from the Kokucho faction, Haiori Mashiro-senpai from the Haiori faction, Inubushi-senpai from the Inubushi faction, Tatsuki Miri-senpai from the Tatsuki faction, and Kumamori Tetsuna from the Kumamori faction.

Most of the factions were established by second- and third-year seniors. Of course, there were also factions formed by girls in the same grade as Natsume Sonoko, but they were basically at the tail end of the list.

The leader of the largest faction gets the position of 'Eternal Princess', while the hard-working position of student council president is usually given to several other factions. If they want to take it all, it will undoubtedly lead to counterattacks from all the factions.

Chapter 757 New Classmate

A striking silver bag was slung across her waist, and her signature cute bun was swaying in the air.

From the faction building, we went to the club activity building not far away. As long as it wasn't club activity time, there were basically no people here. In the activity room of her own club, she took out the textbooks that were stored there. Natsume Sonoko hadn't had the habit of carrying textbooks to and from school for a long time.

If it weren't for objective reasons such as respecting the teacher, the girl, who had already mastered the textbook knowledge, wouldn't even bother to make this trip.

Once you get used to Tokiwadai's current teaching pace, the courses that seemed complicated and difficult at first will soon become easy.

The courses designed according to the strength of ordinary level 3 ability users are not suitable for the learning needs of superpower users at all. Natsume has no awareness of raising his level of ability, and his life becomes more and more comfortable and lazy.

Of course, there are so-called poor students, and there are actually quite a few girls who cannot keep up with the intensity of study and find it difficult to collect enough credits.

The reason why factional activities are so popular in Tokiwadai School is probably because factions can often provide a larger platform. Some extracurricular activities of a public welfare or commercial nature can often provide a lot of extra credits.

Based on this reasoning, students without factions seem to be generally better at studying.

The activity classroom of the Urban Legend Investigation Society is located in the corner of the second floor. Next to it is the storage room for cleaning tools, which is obviously not very good in terms of feng shui.

However, it is qualified to be Natsume Sonoko's personal secret base. As long as the door is locked, it basically belongs to her territory.

The seniors in the club haven't been here for more than half a month, but unexpectedly, she is the one who comes most diligently.

Taking out the nutrient solution prepared by the Ghost Chaser doctor from her bag, Natsume Sonoko skillfully replaced the consumed part of the watch-type therapeutic device, and then subconsciously checked the battery level of the electrode collar on her neck. The girl heaved a sigh of relief after completing all the preparations.

Although I have to do some extra things every day, I always feel more at ease.

The ghost-chasing doctor from the underworld had threatened her before, saying that if she didn't behave herself, the warden would supervise her every day. It made her scalp tingle just thinking about it.

"I remember the first class was a language class. The textbook should be there."

After rummaging through the cabinet where the club's information was stored for a while, Natsume Sonoko half-knelt down and muttered something.

"Right, right, that must be the most popular love secret right now."

"what? What?"

"It's 'aiue o'. This is a winning trick passed down from a senior. I heard that it can increase your cuteness by at least 20%."

"I don't quite understand, what does it mean?"

"Well, it's actually 'Huh? Eh? Hmm? Eh? Oh?' It can be used in all contexts, from surprise to anger. It's really a universal word."
