Evolution of a Girl

"You don't want to sneak away!"

Orimura Ichika felt like a sheep among wolves, sitting there shivering.

Next to him, Xiao Zhizhi Zhu stood up silently.

She and Ichika Orimura were childhood sweethearts, but when she was in the fourth grade of elementary school, she was forced to transfer schools because her sister developed IS.

And today, she and Yixia finally reunited!

She walked over, feeling excited.

Then--

A girl took Ichika Orimura's hand.

The movement was incredibly smooth, just like holding a lover's hand.

Xiao Zhizhi's broom next to him was stunned for a moment.

——Why are you so skilled!

"Hello, Orimura-san, can I call you Ichika?"

In an instant, the whole class fell silent.

Not only the class, but the people watching outside also fell silent.

"that is……"

"Hoshino Amane, the first one when she entered school."

"She knows Orimara-san?!"

Because Tianyin was so skilled and natural, everyone else thought that the two of them... knew each other?

No, no, no, holding hands with the opposite sex so naturally, this is more than just knowing each other!

Orimura Ichika was also stunned.

He didn't know Hoshino Amane, but it would be a lie to say he had no impression of her. After all, besides his childhood sweetheart, Xiao Zhizhi Zhu, she was the one who left the deepest impression on him among his classmates.

After all, she is the most beautiful girl in the class. It would be strange if I didn't have an impression of her.

"Sure...Hoshino-san." Orimura Ichika was a little at a loss.

"Just call me Tianyin! Come with me!" After Tianyin said that, she directly pulled up Ichika Orimura and left the classroom with the whole class watching.

“Ehhhhhhh!?!!”

After a long silence, the class erupted in loud noises.

Xiao Zhizhi Zhuo, who was about to strike up a conversation but was intercepted, looked at the door helplessly.

"Yixia..." Her body trembled slightly, and the green hairband behind her head seemed to tremble along with it, as if she had lost something important...

"It must be hard for Ichika, a boy, to study in a girls' school." Tianyin pulled Ichika Orimura to the rooftop.

"Well... getting along with each other is indeed a bit subtle..." Orimura Ichika nodded vaguely.

Faced with such a soft and cute girl who can turn a man into a dog, it is hard for a man to refuse.

"So I'm going to tell Ichika the secret to getting along with girls first."

Well, since I am the only male classmate, I should be more friendly.

——It’s not like I don’t understand people’s hearts!

"Ah, that's really helpful. Thank you very much!" Orimura Ichika breathed a sigh of relief.

Being a boy in this school is really stressful.

Especially after the school rules were adjusted.

In the past, although this was a boarding school, at least we could go out on weekends.

But after the reform, even if you want to go out during holidays, you must get approval from the school. You are not allowed to leave the school without a formal reason.

Of course, as compensation, the school is already building a shopping street specifically for students, right on campus.

But... Orimura Ichika is a boy.

If I can leave school on weekends, I can have fun with other male friends.

But if the school rules are adjusted, it will be really embarrassing.

After all, he is a boy.

At this time, there is really no position.

"This is for you." Tianyin handed Orimura Ichika a notebook.

"This is……"

Orimara Ichika glanced at his notes.

There was a pleasant fragrance on the notes, and just the smell made him feel a little dizzy.

"Code of Conduct. I wrote it for Ichika during the previous class meeting. Girls don't need vulgar boys, so here are some things you need to pay attention to."

"Ah—thank you so much. I'm a bit slow with girls, so this is really great!"

Written specifically for myself!

And the handwriting is beautiful!

Awesome!

"Yeah, then after class, Ichika and I will go shopping together."

"...Huh?! Shopping? What are we going to buy?"

"Nursing products!" Tianyin said seriously.

"Huh?" Do I, a boy, need that?

However, Tianyin seemed to have misunderstood: "Don't worry, the care products are free. You can pick them up for free at the school's shopping street!"

No...that's not what I'm talking about...

Orimara Ichika was at a loss for words, but still couldn't refuse Tianyin's kindness...

……

Yes, that’s right, Xiaozhizhizhu’s headband is indeed green!

Chapter 318 Neural Patterns

Orimura Ichika was in a good mood. Not only did he become friends with the prettiest girl in the class, he also made an appointment to go shopping together.

With a girl like this to help me, it will be easy for me to integrate into this group!

He is full of confidence.

Tianyin, I will never forget your help!

And at this moment, he was blocked again.

It's the Shinobi broom with a green headband.

Then he was taken away again.

But when pulling Ichika Orimara away, Shinono no Broom looked at Tianyin with a strange look, which made Tianyin a little confused.

"What did you say to him?" After Tianyin came back, Cecilia came over curiously.

"Help the only boy in the class integrate into the class." Tianyin said.

"Really? By the way, Onee-sama..." Cecilia paused when she said "Onee-sama," as if she was a little confused and her brain was short-circuiting, but she immediately came to her senses. "Onee-sama said there's a test for me and asked me to come over during lunch break."

After all, school has just started and there are no classes in the afternoon.

"Yeah, I'll be there when I finish my work."

“…” Cecilia frowned. She felt that the other party’s behavior was a little suspicious, but she could not disobey her elder sister’s order.

The bell rang soon and Cecilia quickly returned to her seat.

It was not until lunch break that Cecilia arrived at the chairman's office building with trepidation.

"Ah, you're here, Cecilia. The upgrade and modification of Blue_Tears is complete!"

"So fast?!"

Cecilia's IS was being modified at Liuli's place, but she hadn't expected the modification to be completed so quickly.

"Modular transformation is our forte!" Liuli smiled. "It's just a third-generation aircraft, so of course the transformation is quick."

Liuli handed Cecilia something that looked like a ring.

"The storage status has also changed..."

Originally, it should have been earrings when it was stored.

"It's not a ring~" Seeing Cecilia's confused look, Liuli was very happy, "Of course, you can wear it like a ring."

After finishing speaking, Liuli stood up and said, "But that's not what I want to talk about. It's that our machine uses a neural cross-sensing control system. This system makes the control of the IS more flexible, but the driver himself needs to make certain preparations first."

"Prepare?"

"Yes, you need to brand your body with... ahem, I mean, holy patterns. Ah, holy patterns are the 'nerve patterns' used for control. This pattern is automatically formed on the body surface based on the nerves, but because the pattern is very beautiful, similar to the stigmata, we gave it this name."

After saying that, Liuli showed a picture.

On the picture was a pink triangle. The shape was very abstract and the lines were complicated. Cecilia looked at it for a while and found that it vaguely resembled a hollow peach heart, but if she had to say it, there seemed to be a big difference.

"This is the neural pattern that can be imprinted on the user, allowing us to more skillfully control the IS through our own brains, just as if it were our own body."

This technology exists.

When Liuli was researching the core of his own IS, he thought about the role of human brain replacement.

If this technology is applied to the original IS that already has an IS core, the IS can be more closely matched to the user.

The downside is that these nerve lines are very sensitive, and even the slightest touch can feel like a tickle, and it's very intense. Therefore, if a new uniform is to be developed for users with these nerve lines, it would need to be specially designed with hollowed-out fabric to completely isolate the nerve lines from contact with clothing.

There is nothing we can do about it.

Of course, as for the color and shape, this is actually Liuli's personal preference. This graphic is actually a pattern in "Dark Gospel".

"We will promote it to all students in the future, but Cecilia, you are special, so I allow you to use it first!" Liuli smiled.

“But the brand is on my body, maybe it can’t be washed off…” Cecilia was a little worried.

"It's okay, because these are nerve patterns, not tattoos or anything." Liuli frowned.

If it was Tianyin, she would not raise such questions.

But then Liuli thought again: "Cecilia, you are the first user. If you are the first to master the neural patterns, you might be able to surpass Xiao Tianyin!"

"Surpass... Tianyin... Well, I must try it!" Cecilia clenched her fists, her eyes full of fighting spirit.

"Well, let's go try out your new IS first. I'll help you put it on."

"……Um."

Cecilia felt something was wrong.

But as soon as she thought "not right", she felt her head drifting, as if she had returned to last night, lying in that warm ocean. Not long after, the strange thought disappeared...

Although testing is necessary, the neural patterns must be installed first. The neural pattern imprinting device is a very special mechanism, somewhat similar to the ultrasonic lithotripter used to treat urinary stones and kidney stones. Cecilia lay on it, and after a sound similar to ultrasound, the neural patterns were imprinted on her body.

"Ah?"

However, just after the neural patterns were imprinted, Cecilia suddenly felt a "boom" rushing to her forehead.

It's an incredible feeling.

It seems that I can still see things with my eyes closed, and can still hear sounds with my ears covered.

The five senses were enhanced to the extreme, and the whole person seemed to have an incredible feeling surging in his heart.

"How is this going?"
