With the departure of Teacher Da Yuan, a wordless silence enveloped a certain class in "Zhachuan Middle School".
"...The day has finally arrived."
Walking up to the podium, the boy who was probably the monitor whispered.
"...Ah, it's finally about to begin."
The girl, who was probably the strongest superpower in the class except for one person, nodded in agreement as she leaned against her glasses.
The two looked at each other, and the solemn air continued to spread, as if some storm was brewing.
Then.
This tense scene only lasted five seconds...
It turned into long-suppressed cheers and screams from the entire audience.
"oh oh--!!!"
"..."
Sitting in the second-to-last seat by the window, Flanders did not participate in the shameful interactions in front of her, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It's great that the work of the operating committee and the ethics committee conflict.
She was extremely grateful for this.
…
***********
Due to its special nature, "Academy City" basically adopts a no-development policy.
But that doesn't mean that others can't come in at all.
"Daha Star Festival".
This is one of the only times a year you have the opportunity to step into this land.
To put it simply, it is a large-scale superpower sports meeting that is open to the public for seven days.
…
"...Hey, do you want me to take the volunteer students with me to patrol?"
In the 177th branch of the Discipline Committee, Flanda, who was preparing for tomorrow, stopped sorting documents and looked at Gufa Meiwei who was leaning at the desk with some strangeness.
She remembered that this senior had already done similar work before. Wasn't it over yet?
"Well, you also know that starting tomorrow is the period of the Daiha Star Festival. There are only two people in our branch, so we won't be able to be busy at all."
Looking through the report in his hand, Gufameiwei shrugged with a look of helplessness.
Okay, has someone’s identity of only working in the field finally been ‘fixed’...
Thinking of the senior who could use "Hey Hey" to fool around and rarely come to the branch to report, Flanda had no choice but to smile bitterly and wipe her "brilliant" image from her mind.
"So I submitted another personnel application report to the headquarters, and the response this time was surprisingly fast."
Moving his body back to sit on the chair, Gufa Meiwei also looked quite emotional.
Their place is not a key school district or a large branch responsible for prestigious schools. She originally had the mentality of giving it a try, but she did not expect that someone would actually be willing to come here to study.
The impulsive elementary school girl last time was designated by the headquarters to coach, and this time the volunteer seemed to be an elementary school student. I heard that she signed up immediately after seeing the news in the newbie training system.
It's a good thing to be motivated, but when Gufameiwei looked at her results during the training period...
"Anyway, I'll send her information to you first. The volunteer students around me still need training, so I'll leave this child to you."
Not knowing how to express it, Gu Famewei lowered his head in front of the computer screen with a guilty conscience.
Although the opponent's comprehensive evaluation is below the overall value and her ability is not high, since she was selected as a candidate for the Disciplinary Committee, she must have something special about her.
Gufameiwei is still convinced of this.
"……All right."
After all, the other party is also here to help, so it is naturally a good thing to be able to share some of your work.
Flanda didn't mind too much while receiving the information sent from the system.
After all, when it comes to guidance, well, she is quite experienced.
After opening the file casually, rows of data were quickly presented in front of Frenda.
At this time, her expression became slightly surprised.
Not for the opponent's poor physical score, but for the photo and name.
Shown above is a little girl wearing a wreath on her head.
The name is Shiri Uiharu.
…
the next day.
The crackling sound of salutes kept ringing in the sky.
Just as the supercomputer on the satellite predicted, today is a sunny day that will take away fatigue.
Although it was only after seven o'clock in the morning, the flow of people everywhere in Academy City was already several times that of usual.
Parents looking for their children, tourists taking pictures of the scenery, student maids wandering among the crowd, and people with super powers who are eager to try... It can be said that there are all kinds of wonderful scenes gathered together.
On September 19th, the "Daha Star Festival" officially kicked off.
…
************
On the big booth, the last principal finished his speech.
Following the guidance of the on-site personnel, the 'exhausted' crowd swayed towards the outside of the venue.
The three-hour opening speech finally ended.
Except for the first few speeches made by the principal, there were still people listening. Presumably those who appeared later came on stage in the sight of the students wailing.
Flanda, who was freed from her work as a disciplinary committee member, thought so more than once as she looked at the big live broadcast screens everywhere.
It is now 10:40 in the morning, and the ‘multi-school joint talent tour’ on the section she is responsible for is about to begin.
Although they say they are 'responsible', in fact, anti-skill officers have already set up a cordon near the road, and the request made to the discipline committee member, who is also a student, is mostly just to 'report the situation immediately upon discovery'.
At least the 'Mobile Garland Little Sister' beside Frenda is already fully enjoying this event.
Compared to how she looked during the training camp a few months ago, Uiharu Shiori is a little more mature in terms of height and body shape.
Although I was a little shy when we first met, I was able to smile and say hello properly.
I saw that she was holding the apple candy she just bought at the stall in one hand, and she was still operating the portable information processor for communication in the other hand.
"...Want a drink?"
"Ah, thank you."
A considerate greeting came to her ears, and Uiharu, who couldn't multitask because her hands were busy, subconsciously took the straw with her mouth.
But soon, she reacted.
She is currently patrolling with her seniors, so wouldn't the person who handed her a drink...
"Eh-oh-yes, I'm sorry!"
Taking two steps back like a frightened rabbit, Uiharu blushed and hurriedly lowered his head and apologized.
Even the half-eaten candy apple fell to the ground.
"Really... don't be so nervous, don't worry, I bought two cups."
Looking at the dusty food with regret, Flanda stretched out her other hand to signal.
That’s not the problem!
Chu Chun, who was about to turn red to the ears, waved his hands and spoke a little incoherently.
She felt embarrassed to have her respected senior do such a thing.
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore... there's still some time before the tour passes us, so let's go back to where we were and rest."
Seeing the flustered Chuchun who had not yet recovered, Flanda couldn't help laughing and had no choice but to try to change the topic.
Originally, I just wanted to tell her that it was okay to relax in the support work today, but now it seems that it has the opposite effect.
If my 'memory' is correct, there is nothing special about 'this year's Daiha Star Festival...
‘Emergency contact! Suspected spiritual culturalists are carrying out bombing activities in the student arena located in Section 44! Please rush to the nearby disciplinary committee for support immediately! Repeat it! Located in...'
An 'annoying' message rang out in my pocket 'at the right time'.
(…)
Ah, that's exactly what happened.
Anyway, there is someone who is determined to make things difficult for her!
"...let's go."
Resisting the urge to destroy the walkie-talkie in her hand, Flanda said to Uiharu with a smile.
