A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 103 Kiyama Haruo
"Teacher, this is the information you requested." A young woman in a professional suit knocked on the door and came in, holding a file bag in her hand.

"Ah, it's Kiyama-kun. Thank you for all your hard work." Kihara Gensei turned from the lab table and looked over. "I asked you to make this special trip."

"No, it's just a small favor," Kiyama Haruo said quickly. "Besides, I have an experiment planned for today, so I had to come to the institute anyway."

"You're so hardworking, Kiyama-kun." Kihara Gensei looked at his favorite student with a smile, like a kind old professor. "You have a job now, so you don't have to be so serious about the research institute."

Kiyama Haruo said seriously, "My profession is a researcher first and an elementary school teacher second, so I can't slack off on my research."

"You're so serious," Kihara Gensei said, smiling as he took the briefcase. "But it's not a bad thing for young people to be driven. Of all the newcomers, I'm particularly optimistic about you, Kiyama-kun. You possess unparalleled talent, and you'll achieve more than anyone else!"

"!" Because of excitement, Kimura Haruo's face turned red, "I, I will try my best!"

Kihara Gensei is an iconic figure in Academy City's scientific research field. He enjoys a very high reputation in the scientific and academic communities and is the person most admired by Kiyama Haruo, who aspires to become a scientist.

Receiving personal praise from Kihara Gensei was enough to make Kiyama Haruki happily change her personality, from a gloomy and depressed person to a beautiful woman with a bright smile.

After her mood changed, Haruo Kiyama was in the mood to think about other things. She noticed the file bag she brought with her, and her curiosity as a researcher took over.

"Teacher, is this some important research report? Why are you so anxious that you want me to get it personally?"

"No, it's not a research report." Kihara Gensei opened the file bag. "It's just an ability test report."

"Level 5 test report?"

"No, it's just a level 3 'telepath'." Kihara Gensei began to look through the test report.

"Huh? Just level 3? And a telekinetic user?" Kimiya Haruo was surprised.

In her impression, teacher Kihara Gensei seemed to be only interested in level 5. Kihara Gensei was a top expert in the field of "ability development", and only level 5 superpowers, or even the higher level level 6 "absolute power", could attract his attention.

However, he didn't expect that the document he had to go out and get today was just a level 3 ability test report.

"This has nothing to do with research; it's just my personal interest," Kihara Gensei said, waving his hand with a smile. "So I can only ask Kiyama-kun to do it privately."

I see…Kiyama Haruo frowned, not believing it was that simple. “What’s so special about this person with super powers that even you, teacher, are paying so much attention to him?”

Kihara Gensei chuckled, handed the information in his hand to her, and gestured for her to read it herself.

"Huh? Is this really possible?"

"Although there is a certain level of confidentiality, Mu Shanjun is my lab assistant and has teaching qualifications. He is of sufficient level to be read."

After taking the document, Haruo Kiyama quickly read through it.

"... Turns out he's actually an ordinary level 3..." Then he muttered in surprise, "Just ordinary, average. Aside from his ability activating very quickly, there's nothing special about him. Why is he so interested, teacher?"

Kihara Gensei smiled and explained, "What I'm interested in is not his Nen ability, but the person with the ability himself."

Haruo Kiyama looked at the beginning of the test report, which contained the tester's identity information.

"Lin Wuming, male, 14 years old..." He looks like just an ordinary boy.

"I feel like I've heard this name somewhere..." Kimiya Haruo frowned and thought about it.

"Kiyama-kun," Kihara Gensei said with a kind smile, "Besides work and research, you should occasionally pay attention to things around you and in society. Being too tense will affect your brain's activity."

"Yes, teacher!" Mu Shanchun responded subconsciously, and then suddenly shouted, "I remember! Lin Wuming is the young hero who suddenly became popular recently!"

"That's him," Kihara Gensei nodded. "Since Mushan-kun is a member of my research institute, I'm sure you've heard the rumors about Lin Wuming, right?"

"Are you referring to the incident that happened in the basement of Black Moon Technology, the news of which was blocked by the security forces?" Kimura Haruo didn't like chatting about gossip and had no interest in urban legends, but since there were so many people discussing it around him, he had heard about it more or less.

Now, seeing Kihara Gensei bring up this matter, Kiyama Haruo immediately realized, "I never thought the legend was true."

"Yes, it's true," Kihara Gensei nodded, "This Wuming-kun's ability level doesn't match his actual strength, so that's why I'm interested in him."

"However, the ability test report doesn't show anything unusual," said Kiyama Haruo. "He's just an ordinary level 3 telekinetic user."

"You're right." Kihara Gensei said with a smile.

“Could it be that the aptitude test wasn’t comprehensive enough?”

"This is a test specifically conducted by the Guard Force, and its professionalism is beyond doubt."

"But why..." Kimiya Haruo frowned and fell into deep thought.

Kihara Gensei walked to the side and found a chair to sit down. "Kiyama-kun, you need to open your mind and not be constrained by inertial thinking."

"Yes, teacher!" After answering habitually, Kiyama Haruo came back to his senses, "Don't be restrained?"

"You and the guards have all had your 'superpowers' restrict your thinking," Kihara Gensei said with a sagacious glint in his eyes. "Compared to ordinary humans, Academy City's superpowers are indeed a special and more powerful force; however, the possibilities of humans are far more than just 'superpowers'..."

As he spoke, Kihara Gensei brought Kiyama Haruo to the computer and showed her more information about Lin Wuming.

The key point is the video that is less than 30 seconds long.

Thirty-second video clips played repeatedly on the screen, along with slow-motion close-ups played frame by frame.

Haruo Kiyama felt that this was a test given to him by the teacher, so he stared at the screen with all his attention.

"What do you think, Mr. Kiyama? What do you think?" asked Kihara Gensei with a smile.

"I think..." Kiyama Haruo said cautiously, "Lin Wuming's reaction speed is very fast."

After saying that, she immediately added: "I don't know much about Nen ability, so this is just my subjective impression..."
