A Scientific Urban Detective.

Chapter 151 Kihara Gensei's Judgment

The top brass of Academy City are urgently gathering information about the newly promoted Level 5 Shokuhou Misaki, and are even trying to get a few words from Kakine Teiguro.

The reason why these bigwigs who are usually high and mighty care so much about Shokuhou Misaki and try their best to obtain her information is not only because she is level 5, but more importantly, they are making an assessment - assessing the potential, application value, and threat level of the superpower of "mental control".

This assessment will determine how they respond to this new superpower - to win her over or to guard against her? And how much resources are worth investing in dealing with her?

However, they did not expect that the Tokiwadai Group had already taken the initiative and recruited this valuable level 5.

In addition, what these bigwigs would never have thought of was that the report submitted by the Anbu "school" actually attracted the attention of a real "bigwig".

Kihara Gensei, from the very beginning, the focus of this old man who was also quite famous in the Kihara clan was on Lin Wuming.

It was he who suggested to Shunzo Toshizo that he hire the Anbu organization to guard against Lin Wuming's attack, and it was also he who recommended the Anbu "school".

And before the "school" accepted the commission, it was Kihara Gensei who revealed the information that "Shokuhou Misaki was suspected to be level 5" to Kakine Teiguro.

It can be said that this head-on confrontation between the Anbu "school" and Lin Wuming and his group was actually secretly promoted by Kihara Gensei behind the scenes.

Of course, his method was very clever. He just said a few words at a few key points and revealed some information or rumors... Strictly speaking, this cannot even be considered "behind-the-scenes manipulation."

But the development of events was basically in line with his expectations. He successfully provoked a fight between the two telepaths and saw detailed first-hand intelligence from the report.

Moreover, this report is based on the first-hand perspective of Yuwen Wanhua, the most outstanding telekinetic user at present, and his conclusions are drawn through personal experience - in terms of the practical application of telekinesis, no one is more authoritative than him.

Therefore, unlike others, Kihara Gensei was very satisfied with the report.

After all, this is almost exactly what he wanted.

As for Shokuhou Misaki... Kihara Gensei didn't care, because in the entire Academy City, he was probably the person who knew the most about "psychological control"; to a certain extent, he even knew more about it than Shokuhou Misaki herself.

"Extremely calm, quick reactions, precise control..." Kihara Gensei examined the report before him, then, combining it with the intelligence he had gathered, he said thoughtfully, "Taking it all together, his neural reaction speed is clearly different from that of an average person... No, to be more precise, it's more like there's something wrong with his subjective flow of time!"

Kihara Gensei's eyes lit up, as if he had seen something that interested him: "Ah, so it really exists—a time-related superpower!"

But he immediately frowned again. "But if that's the case, then he possesses two superpowers simultaneously, which is impossible—at least not at this stage. In other words, his ability isn't traditional telekinesis, but some kind of composite superpower."

Like a child who sees a toy that interests him, Kihara Gensei made a deduction with great interest, but quickly regained his composure.

As a top researcher, maintaining curiosity is certainly a good quality, but being completely dominated by curiosity and then developing delusions is too foolish.

"Well, let's keep the possibility of inference and continue to observe." Kihara Gensei's expression became calm again, and he locked the report in a drawer. "After all, Wuming-kun is only a Level 3 esper right now. Even if he really has time-related special abilities, it's not worth studying for me until he reaches Level 5."

……

Lin Wuming didn't know that his trump card "Bullet Time" was almost guessed clearly by Kihara Gensei.

At this moment, he was running laps around a standard track. This was one of the "entry assessment" items for the Discipline Committee members - a 5,000-meter long-distance run.

After all, being a discipline committee member is a job that requires very high physical strength and endurance.

After all, under certain circumstances, they would also cooperate with the guard forces to carry out the task of "arresting criminals", so there must be no flaws in their physical fitness.

Lin Wuming had just had his plaster removed and was no longer in a wheelchair for a day, so his physical fitness was far from recovered enough to allow him to do long-distance running.

Being able to complete a 5,000-meter run is considered a miracle.

Fortunately, the final test for the Discipline Committee does not prohibit the use of superpowers - after all, it is used to test the comprehensive strength of students, so of course there are no taboos and all means should be used.

In this way, the difficulty of the test for Lin Wuming was greatly reduced. If he didn't want to go too far, Lin Wuming could even use his telekinesis to directly "fly close to the ground" for five thousand meters.

Overall, Lin Wuming managed to get through the first half of the test with his own physical strength, but he was really powerless in the second half and had to use his telekinesis to give himself more strength.

The discipline committee member in charge of the test of course noticed this immediately, but he just nodded and wrote a sentence on the form in his hand.

As the rules state - the test does not exclude the use of super powers.

The biggest feature of the Discipline Committee is that it contains a large number of high-level superpowers.

The ability to flexibly utilize various superpowers to handle various incidents is the greatest advantage of the Discipline Committee. It is precisely because of this that they can stand shoulder to shoulder with the Guard Corps and become one of the two major law enforcement agencies in Academy City.

What's more, asking an untrained 14-year-old boy to run the entire 5,000 meters is a bit too much.

In their opinion, Lin Wuming's performance was good enough. After all, physical fitness can be developed through acquired training.

But an indomitable will and the flexible use of superpowers cannot be achieved through hard work and awareness alone.

After finishing the race, Lin Wuming walked towards the "referee" location.

From a distance, Tiger Bee Toumi had already come over and threw the kettle towards Lin Wuming.

He subconsciously used his telekinesis to catch the kettle, then Lin Wuming came to his senses, remembered Mingtu Zhuihun's instructions, and quickly reached out to catch the kettle.

"Student Lin Wuming," the discipline committee member in charge of record-keeping came over just as Lin Wuming was drinking water. "Your assessments are all complete. Well, welcome to become one of us!"

"So fast?" Lin Wuming was stunned.

The various assessments for the Discipline Committee were numerous and demanding, and Lin Wuming was prepared to spend a day or two on them.

Who would have thought that I would pass the test today just by running 5,000 meters?
