Temperature Control in Academy City

"What? It turns out it's nothing big."

"There are so many people in Academy City using Indian Poker. It's almost impossible for there to be a person with the ability to stably receive such a huge AIM force field and maintain his existence."

"Or in other words, how can a human become a god?"

With a raised eyebrow, the dull expression of a guy with a bun on his head showed some lively life.

He made a careful deduction based on the information he had, mainly because he had gained many similar experiences when facing the Fantasy Hand before.

When encountering a similar situation again, Natsume easily connected the two things together and came to a conclusion that might be accurate or might be pure guess.

But overall, a carefree girl with a bun on her head is optimistic about this and feels that her imagination is too rich.

How could a force field core suddenly appear out of nowhere and turn everyone into tools without them noticing?

You have to know that something like a force field core must have been born with the emergence of force field aggregates. Each one has its own place, and there are no extras.

Chapter 449: Science Girl

The dull expression was projected through the window into the dark and silent world, and occasionally there was the slight sound of the wheels turning from a passing security robot.

The little black cat and its friends haven't been by the window for a long time. All that's left is an empty feeding bowl made from a can.

After coming to his senses, Natsume sorted the things on the table into categories, then buried his head on his soft sofa, with his eyes open, thinking about something.

After getting some specious information and guesses, the girl, whose head was still a mess, fell into silence.

Although his ability to collect intelligence has made some very significant progress, his level of summarizing clues from complex intelligence is also quite good.

However, Natsume seemed to be a little unsure about the conclusions he had drawn, and he always liked to think about the loopholes in them. These loopholes that could not be filled for the time being naturally overturned most of his own conclusions, and in the end he optimistically found that the problem was not serious.

Unlike the discipline committee friends and senior students with super powers she knew, once they had a generally acceptable inference, or just felt that there were some possibilities, they would start looking for clues to prove the accuracy of their own conclusions. Their ability to act was obviously greater than that of a hesitant girl with a bun.

When Natsume is asked to take charge of the overall situation alone and needs to consider and judge the situation on his own, he will become anxious and worried.

This psychological problem of being worried about gains and losses and lacking confidence in one's own reasoning and decision-making abilities may be traced back to a certain spatial movement that always likes to find fault and most of the time can find the right ones.

After being repeatedly instructed and educated by a senior discipline committee member who was considered a pervert, the timid new discipline committee member was successfully led astray.

"What a hassle! Is this something an ordinary middle school student like me should consider?"

"There are so many adults in Academy City, the security guards and teachers are very reliable, and my seniors and teammates are also working hard."

"The most important thing now is to get a good night's sleep and ensure that you have enough energy for tomorrow. If you can't get up in the morning, you will definitely be scolded by the dorm supervisor again."

Putting aside all the distracting thoughts in her head, Natsume yawned loudly. She was really a little sleepy.

She would only yawn in such an unladylike manner when she was in the dormitory. When she was outside the dormitory, she had to be elegant even when walking and smiling.

The biggest difference between her and Shirai is that when there are other people to rely on, Natsume doesn't like to take on things on her own initiative. Instead, she has a special liking for teamwork, unless she is determined to do something.

This is also one of the reasons why she particularly respects some security teachers. She eagerly hopes that the security teachers can kill gods and Buddhas, and it would be best if she never has to go on the field.

What is the highest realm of martial arts (superpowers)? It is not to kill (not to take action), but to watch everyone solve all the problems with a smile.

Once you can no longer rely on official power, and even your friends around you are worried and in crisis, that's probably when Natsume will lose sleep, but it's obviously not that urgent now.

If you want to deal with Natsume Sonoko's weak character, the method of boiling a frog in warm water will most likely be successful.

Back to the point, since the truth is unclear, Natsume no longer insists. The main reason why she tried to spy on other people's aim fields is just because she can do it and is willing to give it a try.

The description of a discipline committee girl who does things out of interest is really apt.

After closing her eyes, Natsume relaxed her whole body, but her brain was still working at a certain frequency.

"By the way, if this is a dream, would there also be a phase?"

"Everything you dream about at night actually ends up in another place?"

Confused thoughts arose involuntarily, and Natsume was thinking slowly in a confused state. Recently, I have been exposed to some things about dreams, which has caused half of my head to be filled with such thoughts.

The AIM force field energy that he was familiar with had a specific phase for carrying it. Before the lightless phase, maybe it was also a gathering place for some kind of force or something else. So this idea actually had traces to follow.

In fact, the aspects of this world of Magical Index all come from various myths and religious beliefs that have existed. To put it in a more fashionable way, they are the products of the will of all living beings and high-end works of world miracles. As dreams are something that humans come into contact with every day, it is natural for them to accumulate some related myths and legends.

Time slowly slipped away, and part of my senses, in this confused thought, transcended my body and even jumped out of the real universe, staring at the countless huge phase seas. Only at this time, the insignificance of an individual would appear extremely real, and superpowers were just insects parasitic on the world.

If someone says that there are some creatures in this world that can easily explode this magnificent universe, then Natsume, who feels deeply the vastness of the universe, will definitely think that the other person is thinking too much, and may even earnestly warn the other person to watch less anime and read less novels, and think more about the relationship between people and society.

If there is really someone who can easily explode the universe, then the energy level of the other party must be higher than the entire universe. In this case, what else can support the existence of the other party? Is this a completely false proposition?

Of course, what we are saying here is that there is nothing outside the universe. If there is a surreal setting like there is chaos outside the universe, then that is another matter.

Although she, Natsume Sonoko, has seen magicians, wonders of the world such as the space elevator, and time travelers, she is still a staunch materialist fighter.

Even superpowers are the most legitimate science in her eyes.

Holding high the banner of science, using mobile phones, computers, washing machines and hair dryers, we happily live in this technological age where food and clothing are readily available.

The scientific girl, who is controlled by the customized prototype, always has simple thoughts.

Natsume, who is now in a state of confusion, is still thinking about how to find the part about dreams in the phase ocean. However, if he tries to find the part about dreams one by one in such a huge phase ocean, he doesn't know how long it will take.

However, looking for the so-called dream phase was just a sudden thought. After he could no longer resist the sleepiness, Natsume fell into a deep sleep.

Maybe if you want to find the phase of the dream, it might be more convenient after falling asleep.

Chapter 450 Ancient People (Thanks to Xiong Nu Ren for the golden treasure chest)

What do you dream about when you sleep?

Do human dreams represent another brand new journey?

Natsume Sonoko, who had a dreamless night, said it was difficult for her to answer such a question, but the sleepy look on her face showed that she did not sleep very well last night.

Sure enough, things that I couldn't understand when I was awake, I could find out when I was sleepy that they were definitely lies to children. The truth was that I had completely forgotten about such things when I woke up in the morning.

The girl with special abilities, who couldn't even understand the real world, obviously had no interest in such a challenging hobby as exploring phases. At most, she just regarded it as a trivial diversion in her daily life.

However, something like phase can bring some visible conveniences to her life. The lightless phase and aim force field phase have solved many of her troubles. This is what drives the lazy girl to pay attention to this perception ability from time to time.

Having said that, Natsume is very concerned about the feeling of disgust that comes from the lightless phase from time to time, which causes her to pay much more attention to this phase than the other phases.

In order to figure out this problem, Natsume actually tried to observe the lightless phase itself many nights, and even tried to infer the power that this phase originally corresponded to.

In the absence of sufficient information, Natsume Sonoko's understanding of phases is still based on guesswork. She has no idea how this thing is produced and what it represents to the world.

But just based on the disgust that came from the depths of his soul, Natsume knew one thing clearly.

In one of his previous lives, the shrine maiden whose name has not yet been revealed was most likely the originator of this feeling of disgust.

Ever since he accepted the bizarre setting that he had more than one previous life, Natsume has been able to face many things calmly, and can talk about the girl in his previous life whom he had never met without any burden.

"What on earth does she hate?"

"Except that the physical laws are very similar to the real world, this phase is completely dark."

Natsume Sonoko, who had some aftereffects of waking up, thought with a little confusion that as soon as she used this lightless phase to open up her microscopic perspective, she would be accompanied by the unavoidable feeling of disgust.

Sometimes she also wanted to ask a Gothic Lolita who was a little shorter than herself, the former president of Stargate, Letilly Tanglod, to learn more about her past life.

He also removed a large stone from her body, which is currently stuffed somewhere in a box under the bed in the dormitory.

I didn't even ask for any surgery fees.

It’s just that no one knows where the Gothic Lolita has been hidden by the Unified Council since the Space Elevator Incident. Even the Star Gate Society went bankrupt and reorganized, and Natsume, who was staring blankly, couldn’t find her whereabouts at all.

An ordinary girl with super powers, even trying to find someone is so pitiful.

"But speaking of it, I did find some traces of buildings in it. They look like they should be from ancient Neon. There really is some connection between the phase and the real universe."

"Then think about it, the miko who is entangled with a strong feeling of disgust in the lightless phase may also be a person from ancient times, perhaps a hundred years ago, or even longer."

"And if she knows that Gothic girl Letilie who has lived for who knows how long, this possibility is even higher."

Looking at the slightly thin figure in the mirror, Natsume Sonoko, who was carefully applying sunscreen, thought thoughtfully. She was guessing something based on the information she already knew.

Not only is it a sunny day today, but we also have physical education classes. If we are not careful, we might be pulled by the physical education teacher to do an ability test or a physical fitness test, so it is necessary to apply sunscreen.

Back to the point, the profession of shrine maiden is really too old, so old that it is completely out of fashion in modern society. Except for some cosplay enthusiasts, there is basically no room for this profession to survive.

When Natsume saw senior Himegami Aisa in her shrine maiden costume, it was like he had discovered a new world.

However, I heard that the original duty of the shrine maiden seemed to be to worship some so-called gods, but with the development of science and technology, that kind of thing has long been falsified.

Things like gods and Takama-ga-hara, the abode of gods, are all made up by charlatans and witches to deceive people, or are simply false rumors and fabricated stories. No one who has received a complete elementary school education will believe them.

According to the current secular concept, if the main job of the shrine maiden before was to worship these inexplicable things, then Natsume has no intention of exploring the dregs of that ignorant era.

Thinking of this, Natsume felt a little overwhelmed. She suddenly felt that there might be a huge generation gap between her and the shrine maiden in her previous life.

The thing she hates can’t be technology. Those two people are really destined to be enemies.

Natsume, an avid technology fan, must have talked about his other self. He must have a pair of eyes that can see the essence through the fog and not let his brain thinking be constrained by inexplicable urban legends.

In Natsume's mind, perhaps gods and urban legends are similar things.

On second thought, Natsume felt that her previous thoughts were a bit redundant. She did not find any technological products in this lightless phase at all.

There are only some typical ancient neon buildings here. Although there is no light, the scenery is quite unique. However, a closer look reveals that they still lack connotation.

Natsume also has a guess that if the soul is unique, then only when the miko dies and he inherits the soul, will he appear in the world.

From this point of view, my birth and the death of the miko should be in a coherent state, unless in this world there is a saying that one has to wait in line to be reborn.

So although Miss Miko is an ancient person, it is very likely that she has lived into modern society, so she is naturally not unfamiliar with the existence of technology.

After a slight pause, an image of an old shrine maiden emerged in Natsume's mind. She was sitting peacefully on a recliner, holding a cell phone and wearing an earphone, rocking slowly.

The sense of substitution immediately rose, this is clearly the daily life that Natsume-san is most looking forward to. Of course, this is just the one-sided imagination of a certain bun-head.

Shaking his head violently, Natsume threw aside all the thoughts in his head. They were becoming more and more unrealistic.

Fortunately, she had completed all the preparations before going out and turned into a pretty young lady from Tokiwadai again. It was time to welcome a new day.

"Sister, did you have a nightmare again last night?"

"Really? There is such an interesting place in Academy City."

"Hehe, don't be late for the club activity today."

"..."

I heard some girls whispering in my ears. After waiting for Shigefuku in the next dormitory, Natsume Sonoko, who was feeling proud of getting up early, joined the huge group of young ladies.

Chapter 451: Dormitory Building

The daily lives of the young ladies are always so monotonous, and all kinds of behaviors are arranged clearly. Never expect those rigid and conservative school board members to become reasonable.

Only when an accident happens will some waves be stirred up in Gu Bo's peaceful school life.

There were some textbooks filled with densely printed words spread out on the table. Natsume raised his head and looked out the window at the bustling scene of people coming and going, and a look of curiosity appeared on his face.

"He's a member of Shokuhou-senpai's faction."

"The last time we made this kind of noise was yesterday. Everyone is really energetic."

Schools seem to be getting more lively recently, giving the superpower girl who likes to watch the fun some inexplicable new experiences.

I turned around and looked around the empty classroom. The only person sitting there was a girl with a rosy bun on her face.

Just by watching her tapping her knees and rubbing her shoulders from time to time, you can tell that she is facing a serious problem of lactic acid accumulation, which should be a temporary symptom caused by acute strain of the leg muscles.

Because the last class was physical education, Natsume, who had successfully completed a series of exercises including long-distance running, has not yet recovered and can only stay in his seat and have a good rest.

After all, the situation that Natsume was most worried about did happen. The sunscreen she applied just in case did work. Murphy's Law is so annoying.

Although it can have a sun protection effect by just slightly refracting the light, a certain girl with a bun has the psychological burden of not using her ability casually in school.

This was probably the subtle influence of a certain dorm supervisor, and it extended to the school and the school. Unless he could guarantee that he would not be discovered, Natsume was very restrained in this regard.

Of course, as for the blonde girl who was so openly holding the remote control and pressing it everywhere in school, that is another story. It is rare to find a superpower who is as honest as Natsume.

October is almost here, and the next comprehensive physical examination of Academy City is about to begin.

A physical education teacher with a strong sense of responsibility conducted a new round of surprise simulation drills and intensive training for a group of young ladies under the pretext of caring about students' growth and future development.

Faced with this sudden bad news, the well-behaved Miss Natsume could not say a word of objection and could only stammer and be forced to run around the playground again and again.
