Chapter 70

Senior Shokuhou Misaki’s Gift

Natsume Enako listened quietly to Senior Misaka and Shirai-san’s heated discussion, her mind wandering.

“There are two weeks before the holiday. What are everyone’s plans for the holiday?” Senior Misaka finally stopped thinking about the incident and talked about the upcoming holiday with great interest.

Students in Academy City usually have three holidays, namely spring break, summer break and winter break, with some small holidays in between.

The specific time of these holidays is different from that in Japan, and the time of opening and remedial classes also varies according to the different schools in Academy City.

It is the end of summer now, and the holiday will come soon. In this way, including exams and remedial classes, there is almost a month left.

Although Tokiwadai Middle School arranges the exam time in the first few days of the holiday, the only comforting thing is that there is basically no remedial class in their own school. It won’t take up too much of the students’ vacation time.

“If you calculate it this way, it’s indeed vacation time.” Natsume Enako nodded in agreement.

It’s very different from when she was in school in my previous life. Vacations in Academy City always come and go very quickly.

Spring break may be longer, but other vacations are only about 20 days at most, and the vacations have to exclude things like exam tutoring, which makes them even shorter.

“During the vacation, I will be even busier. On weekdays, I only need to be on duty for a few hours after class, but during the vacation, it’s a whole day.” Shirai-san sighed and said, maybe this is the fate of Judgment.

“If I can, I will choose to go home.” Natsume Enako frowned and thought, and calculated carefully. It has been three years since the last time she left Academy City to go home.

“Hey, but will the academy approve it?” Senior Misaka said with a hint of uncertainty in her tone.

“As far as I know, if you want to get approval to leave Academy City, Not only do you need to apply to the school, Security Personnel and the board of directors at the same time, you also need to implant a traceable transmitter in your body.” Shirai-san thought for a moment and then explained the necessary conditions.

“Almost, but what Shirai-san said is not complete. In fact, you still need a guarantor.” Natsume Enako supplemented what Shirai-san said.

“It sounds troublesome. Has Natsume Enako ever gone out before?” Senior Misaka asked with curiosity. Since entering Academy City, Senior Misaka has never gone out.

“I did it once three years ago, but my applications for the previous two years were rejected. In fact, I don’t have much confidence that I can pass this year.” Natsume Enako said with a look of discouragement. Filling out the application form is very simple, but the so-called bigwigs on the board of directors are difficult.

….Dividing line…

Club activity time, a small alley.

Natsume Enako, who only took a ride for a while, jumped off a struggling white cylinder and watched the Cleaning Robot flee in panic as if nothing had happened.

Just after getting off the white cylinder, the optical phenomenon covering the body began to disappear, and a short figure appeared soon.

After a period of research on optical formulas, the situation of the phantom running around a few days ago has disappeared. Instead, there is a twisting shadow on the ground. Although the problem has not been fundamentally solved, But at least it is much more normal.

In addition, after consulting some information, if you don’t refract the light from the outside world, but only refract your own shadow, you can already create a self-image around you. According to the ability level, this is already a level 3 optical ability.

If you can control this shadow like a normal person and walk and move normally, then it can be almost indistinguishable from the real thing.

At the same time, Natsume Enako is also thinking about how to reduce the range of temperature change when using these derivative or lateral abilities, so that the temperature change is limited to your side, so that every time you use similar abilities, it will not be sensed by a lot of people.

“Why did Senior Shokuhou Misaki ask me to come here?” At the entrance of the alley, Natsume Enako looked up at the sign not far away. That’s right, this is the place.

Natsume Enako, who was standing there in a daze, suddenly heard footsteps, and a strange student with star pupils in her eyes appeared beside her.

“Natsume-san, please follow the instructions.” The strange student said in a low voice, Pointing to a location not far away.

“Thank you.” Although she knew what was going on, Natsume Enako still nodded politely and thanked her.

Just arrived at that location, an office worker stopped this time, the star pattern in her pupils was very conspicuous, and pointed to a direction for Natsume Enako without saying a word.

“Thank you.”

Next came the Judgement on duty, the supermarket salesperson, the urban beauty with a dog, the Middle-aged Man with a briefcase, the students of Misawajuku cram school…

With many thanks, Natsume Enako wandered around like a headless fly for a while, and finally arrived in front of an old five-story building. Standing at the door was a female researcher in a white coat.

“This is it, welcome to Academy City Fourth Thermal Energy Research Institute, Natsume-san.” The white coat researcher had a smile on her face, and the familiar star logo was still in her pupils.

Following the researcher into the interior, unlike the relatively simple appearance outside, the equipment inside is rare and high-end. Researchers are busy in the Research Institute. A huge projection screen appears on the wall, on which are all Natsume Enako’s various materials and information.

“Senior Shokuhou, what exactly is this place?” Natsume Enako’s eyes widened, and she finally came back to her senses from all the information she had, and she couldn’t help but look at the white-coated researcher beside her.

“Isn’t this obvious? A Research Institute specially prepared for you.” The white-coated researcher’s face showed a faint smile, revealing a trace of inexplicable spirit.

“For me? I don’t quite understand.” Natsume Enako suddenly felt a little confused.

“It’s very simple. The original value of this Research Institute was for a student named Ito, but she obviously failed the expectations of Academy City, so this Research Institute has also reached the time to be abandoned, unless she restart the plan.” Senior Shokuhou Misaki was talking to Natsume Enako in someone else’s body, but there was no sense of disobedience at all.

“I think so, instead of letting the information inside go to waste and be buried underground, and the professionals are scattered and lost to other places, it is better to hand it over to you, Natsume-san. The purpose of this Research Institute itself is to create a level 5.”

The real Senior Shokuhou Misaki was sitting in the school library at this time, which was the place where she spent the longest time in school.

She held a book in her hands, smiled and muttered something to herself.

“Queen, this is the freshly brewed tea.” Senior Hokaze Junko came over with a cup of steaming tea.

“Why is there no taste at all? Fanfeng, did you forget to add sugar?” Senior Shokuhou Misaki disconnected the other side, put down the book and looked at the curls in front of her angrily.

“No, Queen, this is the correct taste of tea.”

Natsume Enako looked at the stuck white coat researcher with some curiosity, but the stars in her eyes did not disappear, indicating that she was still under the control of Senior Shokuhou.

“Sorry, something happened on my side. I am really not a very cute subordinate.” After a while, the female researcher, whose face became a little helpless, continued to speak.

“It doesn’t matter.”

Natsume Enako’s acceptance and understanding ability are very strong. From Senior Shokuhou Misaki’s words, she naturally understood the plan of this senior sister.

“Senior Shokuhou Misaki, Do you want me to become LV5?” Natsume Enako was a little confused, but she still said what was in her heart. She was the kind of person who was particularly sensitive to other people’s kindness.

“Hope is the most empty thing, and it is impossible to reach LV5 with this little thing. This can only be said to be a gift and investment, and the council will intervene to abandon this place and transfer the data in half a month at most. Natsume-san, you must seize the opportunity.”

Showing a playful smile, Senior Shokuhou Misaki’s words stopped abruptly.

The white coat researcher trembled, and the stars in the pupils suddenly disappeared, and the whole person returned to normal.

Just when Natsume Enako was a little scared when she saw the stars in the female researcher’s pupils disappear, she was grabbed by the palm of her hand by this researcher before she could say more.

“Ito, you came a little late today?” Revealing a majestic look, the white coat researcher said to Natsume Enako seriously.

“Ito, are you talking about me?” Natsume Enako said uncertainly.

“What nonsense are you talking about?”

Although she is no longer under the control of Senior Shokuhou Misaki, it seems that her memory has been modified. This is a very convenient and scary ability.
