["Mizuho Institute of Pathological Analysis" recently announced that it will cooperate with "Yinhe Pharmaceutical", and the market is expected to gain new development. ]
In the sky above a wind turbine blade in the "Seventh School District", an airship with a huge screen embedded in the belly of the ship was rolling and drifting slowly with recent characteristics.
It is said that this is a high-tech hot air balloon specially launched by the "General Council" to let students know more about current events.
…
(...ahhh...)
(Today is the last day of summer vacation...)
She half-squinted her eyes and looked at the spaceship in the sky that was broadcasting scientific research news and weather forecasts. The idle junior high school girl, Miss Shokuhou Misaki, was sitting on a bench in the park with a bored look on her face.
Because of the strict school rules of Tokiwadai Middle School, students must wear school uniforms even outside the school, in the dormitory, and during winter and summer vacations, so she had to continue wearing the summer thin sweater and gray sweatshirt when she went out today.
pleated skirt.
My original plan to go to a dessert shop was rejected due to my recent weight gain.
(ha……)
(…I’m really…bored…)
To be honest, it's far more terrible than that.
As one of the only "super geniuses" among the 00,000 people in "Academy City", she certainly cannot be worried about "mundane things" like summer homework.
Rather, it is due to certain chain reactions that her own 'existence' will inevitably trigger.
The bait released by scientists who want to study "psychological mastery", the conspiracy secretly planned by the higher-ups that will affect her, etc., are all sources of depriving her of freedom and leisure.
Unlike a certain 'naive' third person, Shokuhou Misaki clearly understands the 'value' of Level 5.
It seemed that not long ago, there was a juvenile criminal gang that targeted her.
The reason is even more nonsense.
Although she only received the notice from the school to pay attention to safety after the arrested guys confessed.
And thanks to their actions, there have been a lot of annoying 'flies' around her recently, and it took her a lot of effort to deal with those guys who wanted to perform surveillance duties in the name of protection.
Shokuhou was really fed up with the intrigues that happened around her every day.
So.
Want to compromise?
She asked herself as she reached out and took out a remote control from her handbag.
With just a tap on herself, her 'world' can be 'reset' and she can start a new life without worries.
It's that simple.
But after raising her hand and going back and forth three times, this young girl with the strongest spiritual power still couldn't give up everything.
After all, some memories cannot be let go easily.
(...Forget it, even if you really want to use your ability on yourself, wait until you go to see the sea once.)
That was an agreement she made with a girl named Dolly.
As if she had found some reason to feel at ease, in order to announce to the world that she was out of the decadent period, the starry-eyed girl stood up from her seat, faced the empty front and made a horizontal V-shaped victory gesture at the corner of her eyes.
"...Hey☆"
Then.
It was really the moment she just made this move.
A girl with long curly blond hair who was rushing here to look for her after receiving an urgent notice appeared opposite her.
"..."
"..."
What expression should I make at this time?
Anyway...
The blushing Shokuhou-sama couldn't help but smile.
In a coffee restaurant called 'Joseph's' next to the park, in front of a certain disciplinary committee member who had helped her, Shokuhou Misaki finally recovered from the awkward reunion just now and sighed deeply.
Although she knew that the general police force was indeed useless, letting the captured suspects escape really underestimated their incompetence.
"Well... so far we only know that the other party escaped from the temporary detention center hospital in the "Fourth School District", and it seems that he has learned the lesson from last time and avoided the surveillance cameras, and does not appear to be going home."
Helplessly leaning on the table while stirring the steaming coffee, Flanda didn't know how to express her opinions tactfully.
She and Shokuhou should have the same dissatisfaction.
The missing person is the former leader of "DEADLOCK" and the main culprit who proposed the attack on people with mental abilities.
So after this man escaped, the police headquarters immediately notified the "Discipline Committee" and also contacted the school management of "Academy House".
Because one thing is almost certain, that is, the other party has not given up on its goal of revenge.
But Shokuhou happened to not be in the dormitory at this time, and he couldn't reach her on the phone, so he had to call in human resources.
However, now that the notice has arrived, the young lady seems to have no intention of going back.
After all, the girl named Shokuhou Misaki is also a Level 5, and she also has the awareness and pride she deserves.
Seeing the starry-eyed girl in front of her who was showing off her "young lady's reserve", Flanda could only "risk her life to accompany the gentleman".
Just when Frenda and Shokuhou Misaki met, two documents that did not come from the "library" appeared in the office of the director of the "Kihara Research Institute" affiliated with the "Advanced Education Bureau".
Focusing on the report in his hand, the old man with stripes on his forehead touched his chin, looking very interested.
"Well...well...this is really interesting."
Although he was talking to himself and seemed to be in a good mood, the researcher who was standing in front of his desk to deliver the report had cold sweat on his palms and did not dare to take a deep breath.
Kihara Gensei, this is the name of the director of this "Kihara Research Institute".
On the surface, he looks like an ordinary kind old man, but since he is named "Kihara" in this city, he definitely cannot be known by common sense.
With many researcher titles, he is an important member of the "Kihara Clan" who has developed countless "ANBU". He is also a dangerous person who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals, causing many people with abilities and research institutions to disappear.
As an advocate of the "Absolute Ability User Evolution Plan", Gensei Kihara should have been following up on the plan that had finally made progress during this period. However, a data analysis submitted by a subordinate organization made him continue to study it.
He became interested in the "Crystal of Ability Body".
"Such a stable "AIM diffusion field"... and the ability values that seem to be "fixed"... Hmm..."
The half-opened eyes gradually widened, and an extremely evil smile appeared on Kihara Gensheng's face.
The darkness from the deepest part of "Academy City" seems to have found its next prey.
