A Scientific Urban Detective

The test paper that Lin Wuming filled out casually in his spare time convinced Izumi Kawakawa that Lin Wuming was a genius not only in combat and superpowers but also in academics.

That's why she's hesitating now, whether to let Lin Wuming go directly to a better school to study starting next year in the third grade of middle school.

"There's no need for that. I think Sakugawa Middle School is pretty good," Lin Wuming refused Izumi Kawakawa's more ambitious suggestion.

Not only because he refused to participate in the rat race, but also because, in the original work, Kazari Uiharu and Ruiko Saten, two important characters, would also enroll in Sakugawa Middle School—assuming that the plot in this regard has not changed.

Because he didn't know much about it, Lin Wuming didn't care which middle school he attended.

Of course, he preferred to choose a school that he "knew."

However, in the original plot, there were not many schools with names and surnames, and middle schools were even rarer.

Apart from the private Tokiwadai Middle School, the only school that Lin Wuming had an impression of was Sakugawa Middle School, where Kazari Uiharu and Ruiko Saten studied.

In addition, he also has the identity of a disciplinary committee member, so he should also join the 177th branch of the disciplinary committee at that time, right?

Seeing that Lin Wuming's opinion was firm, Izumi Kawakawa no longer insisted. Anyway, with Lin Wuming's strength, it should not be a problem for him to enter Nagatenjōki Academy in high school.

...

Early in the morning, Misaki Shokuhou woke up entangled in limbs.

"It's so hot..." she murmured, struggling a bit, but failed to break free.

"..." Under the effect of her superpower, the sleepiness in her brain quickly receded, and Misaki Shokuhou became completely awake, "Jun... Junko-nee, let me go!"

She felt a crisis—a danger of suffocation.

Unlike Misaki Shokuhou, who was not good at physical activities, Junko Hanekaze, even without the effect of her superpower, was a super athletic girl. Her arm strength was like an iron hoop to Misaki Shokuhou, immovable.

At this time, Misaki Shokuhou's body had not yet developed, and her appearance was just a petite and cute girl. She was being treated as a doll or a pillow by Junko Hanekaze, who was still asleep, and held tightly in her arms.

She couldn't move.

"Re... Remote control..." Misaki Shokuhou frantically looked around, but unfortunately, her remote control was not within reach.

"Damn it... I knew I should have shared a room with Dolly!" Misaki Shokuhou wailed, and she wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she felt the bones in her body were making creaking sounds.

—It would be too tragic if she was hugged and fractured by Junko-nee in her sleep!

Perhaps it was because Misaki Shokuhou had specially helped Junko Hanekaze with a mental cleansing before going to bed last night to relieve the side effects of "Heavenly Garment."

The effect was very good, and Junko Hanekaze slept very soundly. She even had a tendency not to wake up.

"There's no other way, don't blame me for being ruthless!" Misaki Shokuhou raised her head and pushed upward with all her strength, hitting Junko Hanekaze's chin.

"Ouch!"

Half an hour later, Misaki Shokuhou was still rubbing her red forehead, teary-eyed, even after sitting down at the huge dining table.

As for the person who was hit, thanks to the effect of "Heavenly Garment," not even a trace of pain remained.

Junko Hanekaze looked at Misaki Shokuhou with great guilt: "Are you okay, Queen?"

"I really want to say I'm okay..."

"I'm really very sorry!" Junko Hanekaze repeatedly bowed in apology.

"What are you two doing so early in the morning?" Mayuri Mitsuari said with a yawn, looking very lazy.

Junko Hanekaze turned her head away awkwardly, obviously feeling embarrassed by what happened when she woke up in the morning.

Almost hurting the Queen—that was something she felt very guilty about.

"Sigh," said Teacher Eri Harumine with a sigh, troubled, "Is it still too crowded after all?"

Ten people living in one apartment, even if it's a 4LDK with an area of over 150 square meters, it would still feel a bit cramped to squeeze so many people in at once.

Because there were only four bedrooms in total, even if the sofa bed in the living room was included, they could only divide it into five rooms at most.

Therefore, everyone had to be divided into groups, with two to three people sharing a room.

During the grouping process, Misaki Shokuhou chose her most trusted and reliable subordinate and partner (future), which greatly disappointed Iruka Yumiya, who also admired Junko Hanekaze.

Of course, there was also the intention of helping Junko Hanekaze overcome the side effects of her superpower.

But she didn't expect...

"The apartment manager told me yesterday that we can use one more apartment," said Teacher Eri Harumine, "It will be fine in a couple of days when the room is ready. Everyone, please be patient a little longer."

"No," Junko Hanekaze rarely expressed her opposition, "How can we let the Queen... Shokuhou-san squeeze into a small room with others? I'll take care of the house!"

Perhaps eager to "redeem herself," Junko Hanekaze showed considerable initiative.

Even after experiencing such arduous and even painful ability development training, as well as encountering life-threatening experimental accidents, Junko Hanekaze had never thought of asking her family for help, but instead stubbornly endured all the difficulties alone.

To the point that even Misaki Shokuhou, who knew her best, had overlooked one thing—Junko Hanekaze was a genuine "young lady from a wealthy family!"

The Hanekaze family controlled a well-known shipping company in Asia. Although their relationship with Academy City was not so close in terms of business, resulting in limited influence in Academy City, as a major capitalist, they would not lack the most basic "money" resources.

And in a modern metropolis, "money" is the easiest resource to convert into various other resources.

So, after breakfast, Junko Hanekaze made a phone call home. In the afternoon, a professional real estate agent came to her door.

Right in the Seventh District, the real estate agency had specially selected a mansion large enough for twenty people to live in, and it was the kind that could be moved into immediately.

Misaki Shokuhou was surprised by her efficiency.

Teacher Eri Harumine seemed quite tempted. After all, temporarily staying here with the Anti-Skill forces was not a long-term solution. Now that the "Artificial Atelier" case has come to an end, even though Shunzo Kurado is still at large, he probably wouldn't dare to show his face easily, let alone come looking for trouble.

Therefore, it was a bit inappropriate to continue shamelessly living in the Family Side apartment.

But on the other hand, the mansion as an alternative was also temporarily being paid for by Junko Hanekaze out of her own pocket. For Eri Harumine, it was just changing from relying on the Anti-Skill forces to relying on her own student...

From the perspective of self-esteem, it was even worse.

This made her feel very speechless and helpless.

However, Eri Harumine's worries did not last long—because she did not have the final say.

Although she was nominally the guardian of these little girls, in reality, those who knew the situation knew that the person who really made the decisions in this small group was Misaki Shokuhou.

And Misaki Shokuhou did not want to leave this apartment.

In addition to the sense of security brought by the Anti-Skill forces, the most important thing was—Lin Wuming was downstairs!

Misaki Shokuhou was unwilling to leave her "strategy guide." Unless next year, she and Torami Kochihashi downstairs move into the Tokiwadai Middle School dormitory!

—Otherwise, she must not take the first step.
