The ability user training program is crucial to the development of the shelter for Takahashi Yu in the coming period, so it is naturally of paramount importance.

"Alright, let's go find our place with Hayasaka Ai and get ready to start our new life."

Takahashi Yu patted Kihara Awaki behind him and gave her a few words of encouragement. Kihara Awaki nodded in response and then walked over to Hayasaka Ai.

A few minutes later, after watching Kihara Ayase leave under Hayasaka Ai's guidance, Takahashi Yu touched his chin, and after confirming that everything was alright, he simply went back to rest.

On the other side, looking at the person next to her, she was wearing a school uniform-like coat on her upper body and a short skirt on her lower body, with only a white cloth wrapped around her chest.

To be honest, even Hayasaka Ai thought this outfit was a bit daring. Such a revealing style of clothing would probably make a conservative girl like Shinomiya faint.

"that..."

After thinking about it, although it might be a bit impolite, Hayasaka Ai decided to remind the other person.

"Huh? You mean my clothes?"

Upon hearing Hayasaka Ai's question, Kihara Ayaki blushed.

"This isn't what I wanted, but if I wear too many clothes, the friction will affect my calculations when activating my abilities, so I can only try to wear as little as possible..."

"So there's another way to say it."

After listening to Kihara Ayaki's explanation, Hayasaka Ai nodded in understanding.

......

Two weeks have passed in the blink of an eye.

Over the past two weeks, Kihara Ayaki, under the arrangement of Takahashi Yu, has been incorporated into the containment facility's system. With her ability to teleport, she easily became an investigator and has now integrated into the containment facility.

As for Yukari Yakumo, Takahashi Yu hasn't assigned her any tasks. She's been behaving herself lately, staying in her room most of the time. Nobody knows what she's planning in secret.

"Director, the research institute has news regarding the technology for cultivating ability users."

On this day, a staff member came to report, and Takahashi Yu, who was looking for the answer, immediately went to the research department.

Upon entering the research department, the first thing that appeared before Takahashi Yu was rows of large capsule-like incubation chambers.

According to Aleister, the improved ability user training technology uses special methods to help people in this world guide their own AT Field, thereby gaining control of their personal reality.

What makes this place special is the rows and rows of cultivation chambers in front of us.

I don't know how Aleister designed it, but it actually allows people in the real world to awaken superpowers.

"The design of these incubation chambers is very ingenious; to be honest, there are many parts that even I don't understand."

Upon seeing Takahashi Yu arrive, Dr. Genus walked up to her and said with some regret.

Takahashi Yu nodded in response, unsurprised.

Putting aside the difficulty of deciphering what Aleister himself created, given the unique nature of the A Certain Magical Index world where science equals magic, it would be truly surprising if the designs there could be fully understood in the real world.

"After research, the cultivation technology that the director sent two weeks ago can indeed awaken different abilities in ordinary people. However, after a lot of trial and error, we found that the younger the individual, the higher the probability of awakening the ability."

At this moment, Dr. Kusno, who was not far away, also put down his work and came over, talking as he walked.

Yes, this ability-cultivation technology is not 100% effective in cultivating ability users. Depending on the individual's aptitude and age, the probability of awakening their abilities will vary.

Summarizing the patterns of these increases or decreases in probability has been the main source of information for the research institute over the past two weeks.

As for the incubation chamber, the blueprints were provided directly by Aleister, requiring no research whatsoever. Genus and others only analyzed the principles behind the blueprints out of personal research interest.

"According to the summary, individuals between the ages of twelve and eighteen have the highest probability of awakening superpowers after training, and the deviation caused by the difference is subject to the influence of different aptitudes."

After listening to the research summary on cultivation techniques, Takahashi Yu stroked his chin.

"Ages between twelve and eighteen?"

Currently, the majority of the main members of the shelter are between twenty and forty years old. If the probability presented by the research results is true, then this breeding technology is undoubtedly unsuitable for the current main members of the shelter.

So, in order not to waste this technology, should we recruit another batch of new members?

Chapter 130: Establishing Academy City, Powerful Building Insects

People aged 12 to 16 have the highest probability of awakening superpowers, while the majority of people in Takahashi Yu's shelter are now over 25 years old.

Therefore, if we don't want to waste this technology, the shelter must expand again and recruit a batch of fresh blood.

The average age is twelve to sixteen years old, which is roughly the age of junior high to high school students. People in this age group are basically students, and the place they spend the most time in is the school.

In other words, if you want to recruit people in this age group, then choosing a school, a place where 90% of teenagers go, is naturally the most suitable option.

Considering the desire to cultivate as many powerful individuals as possible with limited resources, it is natural to cast a wide net and search for high-quality seeds. Therefore, cooperation with organizations like schools naturally requires the backing of government officials.

Fortunately, given the shelter's current control over the Japanese government, getting the school to cooperate is not difficult.

What really bothered Takahashi Yu was his other plan.

He plans to replicate an Academy City in this world as well.

It's the kind of organization specifically used to train people with special abilities, supplementing the human resources of the internment center; it's like a logistics support system.

Such an idea would be nothing short of wishful thinking under normal circumstances, given that Academy City in the original work covers a vast area with numerous buildings and is home to millions of people year-round.

Even if you brought together the world's best architects and construction teams, it would still take a long time to build such a city in a short period of time.

However, that only applies to ordinary people.

There is nothing that is absolutely impossible for containment facilities, and even for the various strange and bizarre objects contained within them.

"Mobilize the containment materials, detach two million building insects, and construct a city in this area."

Takahashi Yu pulled up a map, marked an area, and gave instructions to his subordinates.

Construction bugs are special insects from another world. They are small in size and have extremely strong destructive power and construction capabilities for various buildings.

With sufficient building materials, an average of one thousand building insects can build a fifty-meter-tall building in less than an hour. Moreover, building insects feed on various building materials, and after consuming them, they secrete a special substance that, when infused into normal building materials, can strengthen the original building. It is quite amazing.

On average, there is one queen bug for every million building bugs. Once you control the queen bug, you can give orders to the building bugs at will.

Currently, there are five female Builder Bugs in the shelter, raising nearly five million Builder Bugs.

When the building bugs were first discovered in the containment facility, millions of them lingered in the mountains for a full week before being contained.

Fortunately, it landed in the mountains. If these millions of building insects had descended on the city, it would have been a disaster without any control.

After all, if millions of building insects can work together to build a city in a short time, they can also demolish a city in a short time, and even faster.

Although Takahashi Yu intends to recreate Academy City, she doesn't require it to be exactly the same as the original. After all, Takahashi Yu doesn't need a large city that can accommodate millions of people; a small city that can accommodate less than a million people would be enough.

As for its location, it was directly above the current site of the shelter.

This was also part of Takahashi Yu's plan: the Academy City on the ground would continuously receive outstanding individuals from all over the world, nurture them after their abilities awaken, and finally have them join the incubation center.

The underground shelters, on the other hand, bury everything that should not be known deep underground, keeping order under constant protection.

As for how to solve the problem of needing such a large area of ​​land to build a city? That's simple, just get approval from the Japanese government.

To reiterate, Japan is now almost entirely under the control of the containment center. Under these circumstances, it would be extremely easy for Takahashi Yu to do anything within Japan if she wanted to.

......

a few days later.

Countless black beetles moved together, carrying building materials and quickly constructing a structure under the control of the mother beetle.

At a speed almost visible to the naked eye, a tall building rose from the ground, and at the same time, a neat road surface was paved on the ground. After some building insects ate the building materials, the special substances they secreted seeped into the road, making the road surface even more durable.

From a distance, this place, located outside of Tokyo, has already taken the shape of a city, with countless high-rise buildings standing tall. Although it is now deserted, probably no one would have imagined that just a few days ago it was an undeveloped wasteland.

"It is expected to be completed in another week."

Looking at this spectacular scene, Takahashi Yu, who had come to the site to supervise the construction, silently did some calculations and said...

In less than half a month, a small city capable of accommodating millions of people could be built out of thin air. If one did not see it with their own eyes, probably few people would believe it.

"Besides the city being nearing completion, the plan for cultivating and selecting individuals should also be starting soon, right?"

All that could be heard was Takahashi Yu muttering to herself.

Meanwhile, in Tokyo, at Shuchiin Academy.

It has been almost a month since summer vacation ended. Since summer vacation in Japan is very short, schools have already reopened.

It was lunch break time, and the boys and girls in black school uniforms gathered in twos and threes, sharing their interesting stories.

"Have you heard? The college is suddenly planning to conduct another physical examination for all students."

"Huh? But didn't we just have a physical exam when school started?"

"I don't know, but my dad seems to be taking this physical exam very seriously. He hasn't allowed me to eat any junk food lately."

Something feels off...

Walking down the corridor, listening to the constant chatter around her, Kaguya Shinomiya didn't stop for a moment, heading straight to the student council office.

"What a coincidence, Kaguya-san, you also came here during your lunch break?"

Pushing open the door, I was greeted by Fujiwara Chika's goofy grin, and Ishigami Yu, as always, engrossed in his game, and...

"Shinomiya-senpai."

Miko Iino is a new member who joined the student council shortly after the start of the new semester.

Recalling the information about the chestnut-haired, earnest-looking girl in front of her, Kaguya Shinomiya smiled and nodded.

"Hello, Iino-san."

By this time, almost all the student council members had arrived, except...

"The president didn't come today either."

Looking at the seat reserved for the student council president at the deepest part of the student council building, Kaguya Shinomiya said with a hint of disappointment.

"The president didn't come today either."

Looking at the seat reserved for the student council president at the deepest part of the student council building, Kaguya Shinomiya said with a hint of disappointment.

"There's nothing we can do about it."

"After all, it involves managing conglomerates and such."
