The Puppeteer of Academy City

In the evening, school bells rang all over Academy City.

It also means that the competition events on the first day of the Dahasei Festival have officially ended.

As a sports festival among students, the competitions of the Dahasei Festival also follow the school's daily schedule.

Of course, this does not mean the end of the "Daha Star Festival" itself.

Night is the time for all kinds of performances - exhibitions held by various schools, as well as artist groups specially invited by Academy City will take turns to take the stage, adding more style to this annual grand ceremony.

The "Maid Café" of Class 3, Grade 1, Changdian Shangji Academy also officially opened.

Although it was called an "Italian Cafe", everyone, including the classmates, unconsciously called it a "Maid Cafe", and then let it go.

The coffee shop was located next to a park. After the building modules were transported, Ling Xingye and his monsters almost did it all by themselves and built it from scratch.

— This is Ling Xingye's apology for his absence this morning.

Moreover, in the third class with the theme of "psychology and memory", only Ling Xingye is good at doing this kind of heavy work.

The students didn't go too far. After the coffee shop was built, Ling Xingye was not asked to continue to be responsible for other tasks.

The interior decoration, preparation of ingredients, and attracting guests are all carried out in an orderly manner under the arrangement of Isshiki Qianhui.

After Ling Xingye changed into the deacon uniform, he became idle for a while.

But soon, he was pushed by his classmates to sit down at a dining table in the store.

"Quick, before the official opening, let's do the final rehearsal!" Isshiki Qianhui directed enthusiastically.

Similarly, class leader Hitomi Shiranui was also pushed on the opposite seat—the two of them acted as the first batch of guests to check the operation status of the cafe.

Coffee and desserts were served like water, and there were students who were good at musical instruments playing the violin...

On the small stage to the side, Yakushiji Miyuki was also adjusting the microphone, as if preparing to sing.

"Hey, that's quite the case..." Ling Xingye couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"Of course." Hitomi Shiranui rolled her eyes, "How much enthusiasm do you think everyone put into this? Even the practice of the group project has been postponed."

"That's putting the cart before the horse..." Ling Xingye said speechlessly, "But I didn't mention their qualifications."

"Although our school has a large number of students, we are not a class behind us." Hitomi Shiranui said, "But Xingye, you'd better be more serious. Today's total score, our school is a little behind Tokiwadai Middle School."

Hitomi Shiranui looked at him: "If you lose, all the students in the school must collectively agree to one request from Tokiwadai Middle School...and you, me, and classmate Lily must also agree to an additional request from the two Level 5 students from Tokiwadai Middle School."

Ling Xingye was surprised: "Could it be that those bets in the morning...are serious?"

"Of course, what do you think?" Hitomi Shiranui said helplessly, "The few of us present at the time were representatives of the two schools. How could the agreement reached be a joke?"

Ling Xingye sighed, looking quite a headache: "I'm really afraid that I'm not busy enough..."

While speaking, the coffee shop officially opened for business.

The guests who had been waiting outside for a long time flocked in.

Ling Xingye and Shiranui Hitomi did not continue to occupy the precious seats, and quickly got up to help.

Since it was the period of the Daiba Star Festival, the passenger flow in Academy City was high and saturated, so as long as it was a shop, there would be no worries about no customers.

Overcrowding is the norm—even in a small student-run cafe.

Not only tourists and parents, but also many local students have come here admiringly.

Although it is not a noble school like Tokiwadai Middle School that is difficult for outsiders to get in touch with, it is also a well-known and prestigious school in the eyes of ordinary students.

It's a rare opportunity now, so of course I have to find a way to come over and have a cup of "coffee from a famous school".

Among the crowd pouring into the store, Ling Xingye saw a familiar figure.

"Don't worry, Misaka has an invitation ticket from the owner, and has already reserved a seat in advance. Misaka is proudly showing off her secret weapon."

It was Misaka Mikoto's quartet, and Misaka 10001.

Misaka Mikoto looked around in the store, and immediately saw Ling Xingye and Hitomi Shiranui, and waved happily.

"Let's go." Hitomi Shiranui stuffed Ling Xingye with a menu, and picked up the tray herself.

The coffee shop was originally a relatively quiet place, but because there were too many customers, the novice waiters who had just taken office made a lot of jokes in a hurry, and the shop became lively and noisy, more like a place like a bar.

But everyone seems to like it very much, so no one cares about such small problems.

Misaka Mikoto and the others just came to join in the show. Seeing that there was a steady stream of guests, and the access control time was approaching, they didn't bother them too much, so they left soon.

"Wait." Ling Xingye said suddenly, and grabbed one of them.

"Huh?" Saten Renko looked back, "Senior Xingye, what's the matter?"

"The official performance will be in two days, stay for me to practice!"

The girl who was always full of energy suddenly had a bitter face: "I still need to practice..."

She herself is very interested in silk-drawing drama, and she is also quite talented. But in the past few days, I have practiced too much.

"Of course, the requirements are not high, as long as you don't make mistakes."

"I've been practicing very hard," Saten Ruiko argued, "Recently, I haven't even had time to track down the latest information on urban legends..."

Ling Xingye thought for a while and said, "Then show me the show, and if you pass, I'll let you go."

"Okay!" Saten Leizi cheered up and left the coffee shop with Ling Xingye.

"Ah, slipped away again." Isshiki Qianhui came to Shiranuotong's side and said dissatisfiedly, "Master squad leader, you have to take good care of him."

…

Just as Ling Xingye and their cafe opened in full swing, Kamijou Touma and his party also came outside the city.

After tracing all the way, they finally found out Lidovia's whereabouts.

The latter is going to activate the effect of the "Apostle's Cross" at this specific time tonight, bringing Academy City under the rule of the Roman Orthodox Church.

For this reason, she did not hesitate to take the risk herself, and Orianna was the bait she deliberately used to confuse the public.

At this time, Lidovia had already inserted the "Apostle's Cross" into the ground, waiting for the "right moment" to arrive.

When the starlight travels to a certain angle and projects down ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ this legendary spiritual outfit will show its miracle...

"Damn it, you're a step late!" Tsuchimikado Motoharu saw the cross planted on the asphalt road from a distance, and rushed up without caring about his exhausted body.

Kamijou Touma also rushed forward.

Stiyl took out the card, ready to find an opportunity to cast the Witch King.

At this moment, there was a strong wind pressure above the heads of the three, and a huge shadow passed over them.

Kamijou Touma looked up and said in astonishment, "Isn't this the 'Heavy Stallion' helicopter that is said to be in the experimental stage?"

I saw three behemoths running through the air. Under the fuselage, a large drive armor is hoisted.

The driven armor was condescending, releasing columnar objects one by one, scattered around Lidvia.

"The operation begins, the concealed battlefield system is launched, and the artificial dome is activated..."
