A Scientific Urban Detective

The three major factions of Tokiwadai Middle School each have their own characteristics and are usually engaged in their respective fields.

Among them, the main activities of the Shatai Faction are various public welfare and charitable donation projects, or to put it bluntly, using money to gain influence.

In the end, this is also a good thing. After all, the young ladies studying at Tokiwadai Middle School are generally not short of money. Using money to exchange for other resources is also a common practice for those large families and enterprises.

But it is still inevitable that it will cause some controversy.

As mentioned before, the main members who join the Shatai Faction are mostly a "league of the disappointed." Precisely because they are not as outstanding compared to the members of the other two factions, they come to the Shatai Faction to seek recognition after being hit.

And using money to exchange for influence and a sense of accomplishment has a somewhat self-deceiving flavor to it.

In fact, many members of the Shatai Faction are also aware of their own limitations. Precisely because they know that people's "controversy" is reasonable, they are even more sensitive.

In their opinion, Misaka Aiyu's statement can almost be regarded as a direct provocation.

Seeing the atmosphere becoming increasingly tense, Misaka Aiyu was not afraid, but prepared to take out her phone directly.

Wu Lili had also known about her ability information for a long time, so naturally she was unwilling to let Misaka Aiyu activate her ability.

Therefore, the follower took a big step forward and reached out to stop Misaka Aiyu's movements.

Around Misaka Aiyu's phone, a brief physical conflict occurred between the two sides.

"Stop it! Everyone is a classmate, don't fight!" It was Shatai Danshan who stepped forward to stop the situation from escalating.

"Shatai-sama!" Wu Lili quickly said, "I'm sorry, I didn't handle it well..."

Seeing this, the follower also quickly let go and prepared to greet Shatai Danshan.

At this moment, a very obvious arc of electricity suddenly appeared from Misaka Aiyu's phone.

"Ah!" Misaka Aiyu was startled and subconsciously let go, dropping the phone.

But the arc of electricity seemed to be just an illusion, and there were no other leaks afterwards.

Picking up the phone from the ground, all functions were normal, no problems were found, and the screen was not broken.

The only thing was that the phone's external lens seemed to have some scratches.

However, this lens had been used for a long time. Misaka Aiyu remembered that the scratches on it had existed before, and it was not broken by the fall just now.

In short, the phone was intact. Misaka Aiyu regarded the arc of electricity as an accidental accident, did not delve into it, and did not blame the senior from the Shatai Faction.

However, the senior who had a direct conflict with her just now felt very guilty and insisted that she had broken Misaka Aiyu's phone, and actively offered to compensate her with a new phone.

Misaka Aiyu knew that this senior just didn't want to leave a bad impression on Shatai Danshan, so she was so actively admitting her mistake and offering compensation.

But she had no obligation to cooperate with the other party. After all, the phone was not broken, so she refused the senior's compensation.

"Misaka-san, it was a member of my faction who caused you trouble." Shatai Danshan took the initiative to step forward. "So, give her a chance to make amends."

After discussing for a while, and re-examining all the functions of the phone, it was finally decided that the senior from the Shatai Faction would replace Misaka Aiyu's phone with a new external camera as compensation.

Under the pretext of "looking for a matching model," the old camera was naturally taken away by the people from the Shatai Faction.

The phone's external camera was installed by Misaka Aiyu in the past to improve the accuracy of long-range ability activation. Now that her proficiency has improved, the phone's own camera is enough.

Therefore, the presence or absence of an external camera has little impact on Misaka Aiyu, and she doesn't particularly care.

But for Shatai Danshan, this meant that the level 3 "Mental Pierce" had been successfully obtained!

According to the information Shatai Danshan had, Misaka Aiyu's "Mental Pierce" and Shokuhou Misaki's "Mental Stinger" are the same type of superpower. The functions of the two can be said to be exactly the same. The only difference is the strength, right?

After all, one is level 3 and the other is level 5.

"Mental Pierce" can be regarded as a lower-level ability of "Mental Stinger."

And there is definite information showing that Misaka Aiyu can resist "Mental Stinger" to a considerable extent!

Because of this, Misaka Aiyu's identity in the Shokuhou Faction is so "detached," and even Shokuhou Misaki will not specifically ask her to do anything.

Therefore, if this girl who hides countless secrets, Shatai Danshan, wants to safely approach the group of people in the Shokuhou Faction, the first thing she needs to get is "Mental Pierce"...

And the most perfect thing is that Misaka Aiyu's "Mental Pierce" is only level 3. To resist her "mind reading," ordinary level 3 mental abilities are enough.

The Shatai Faction does not lack such ability users.

"Next..." Through the lenses of her glasses, Shatai Danshan selected her next target.

"Now that I don't have to worry too much about 'Mental Stinger,' can I get the most precious 'relic'?"

Shatai Danshan's mind flashed through the information of a group of core members of the Shokuhou Faction.

Without a doubt, among these people's abilities, the most precious and powerful is of course Shokuhou Misaki's "Mental Stinger."

However, it is not easy to get her "relic," and a suitable opportunity needs to be found.

And right now, the most suitable thing to get is...

"It's you—" Shatai Danshan aimed at the most precious ability besides "Mental Stinger," "Kazakiri-san, I'm sorry to say it in advance ~"

For Shatai Danshan, in a sense, Kazakiri Hyouka's "Artificial Telekinesis" is even more valuable and useful than a level 5 superpower.

In Shatai Danshan's plan, the importance of level 4 "Artificial Telekinesis" is second only to level 5 "Mental Stinger"; but if the level 5 superpower is replaced with Misaka Mikoto's "Railgun," she would choose "Artificial Telekinesis" if she had to choose one.

Tokiwadai Middle School has a special afternoon tea time, and many young ladies from wealthy backgrounds have the habit of enjoying afternoon tea.

Even those students who did not have the habit of afternoon tea before will not refuse this kind of rest and social time.

Tokiwadai Middle School, like a garden, has many terraces where small tea parties can be held.

As the fourth largest faction in Tokiwadai Middle School, the Shokuhou Faction naturally occupies one of the best terraces. Under the leadership of Kazakiri Hyouka, the actual manager of the faction, the faction members will enjoy afternoon tea together.

Of course, this is just a group of members from the same faction chatting together, and there is no intention of restricting others from entering.

Therefore, there are also some students who do not belong to the Shokuhou Faction present. Everyone is at peace, just like ordinary classmates, getting along friendly.

If someone who is not familiar with the faction system of Tokiwadai Middle School sees this, I am afraid that they would never imagine that these pure and elegant beautiful girls, in other occasions, may even fight mercilessly, right?
