"Time and Space Manipulation" Kaihara Kyono ranked first in Lv5, which really surprised everyone in Academy City. There were people who had doubts about this, but not many. After all, most people still believed in the fairness of the official Academy City, and the word "time and space" seemed so high-sounding, and in the eyes of ordinary people, it didn't seem to be much different from manipulating vectors.
In fact, Fang Zheng was playing a word game. The "time and space" here refers to "time" and "space", but with Haiyuan Qiongno's power, she could only barely use it, and could not use it as freely as Fang Zheng. Therefore, it was "manipulation" of time and space rather than "control" of time and space.
In terms of the control of her abilities, Umihara Kyono and Shokuhou Misaki are still a little behind. She can only manipulate time and space "with the flow" but cannot control it as she pleases. So relatively speaking, Umihara Kyono's abilities are not particularly strong.
But for Lv5, being able to manipulate time and space is already terrifying enough. Regardless of your abilities, I will stop time and then smash it down like a steamroller. Olla Olla Olla Olla Olla... and that's it.
Unlike other Lv5s, Fang Zheng made great efforts to publicize Kaihara Kyono's upgrade to Lv5. Not only did he promote it throughout the Academy City, he also published a special issue and PV, detailing Kaihara Kyono's background and resume. At the same time, Fang Zheng also pointed out the latest rules for the current Academy City rankings - in addition to the development and application of the strength of the ability itself, the theoretical research of the ability user itself will also be considered as one of the judging criteria.
The reason why the original Lv5 ranking changed was because the previous Lv5s were not good at theoretical research and learning, so their rankings were lowered - of course, this was just an excuse.
From a certain perspective, this is also a formal announcement of the policy change of Academy City, which will no longer evaluate people based on their ability strength, but will conduct a comprehensive evaluation from the perspectives of ability and theory. At the same time, Fang Zheng also announced that it will increase investment in theoretical and basic scientific research, and starting next year, it will release a list similar to Lv5, which will be used to evaluate talents who can make discoveries and innovations in scientific theory, not just those with special abilities.
This policy was immediately welcomed by most of the students in Academy City. In fact, many people looked down on the original Lv5, thinking that they only got to this position by relying on their strong abilities, and that they were just reckless and could do nothing else. This is a bit like how many top students look at those special sports recruits: you may run fast, play football, and dunk, but you are not good at studying. Even if you play in the NBA, you still can't figure out calculus, right?
But the current number one position has convinced many people. For people with special abilities, just seeing the code name "time and space manipulation" would make them kneel down. And for the top students, looking at the papers in "Annals of Mathematics", "Nature", "Science" and other journals in Kaihara Kyono's resume, they can only be scared... Even if you are not scared, you must first be qualified to submit to these top journals!
This is actually the weak point of Academy City. Why does Academy City block research from the outside? A large part of the reason is that their research itself cannot withstand the test of academic ethics. It can be said that Academy City itself is a "lawless place" in the academic world, secretly condoning or even sheltering those crazy scientists to carry out their inhumane research experiments, and such things are naturally impossible to bring out.
How do you write a paper on the AIM detonation experiment led by Gensei Kihara? In order to verify the AIM force field detonation experiment, we selected 20 children around 10 years old to perform human detonation.
If you dare to send it out, the whole world will turn upside down!
I have never seen anyone dare to publish a paper while conducting human experiments so blatantly.
That's why Fang Zheng chose to humanely destroy all those inhumane research institutes to avoid any trouble.
But from another perspective, it is much more convenient for students in Academy City to do research than people from other places.
For people like Umihara Kyono and Misaka Mikoto, if they wanted to verify whether their theories were correct, if they were ordinary people outside of Academy City, they would probably need to apply for a lot of instruments and supercomputing time, and might even have to mobilize high-tech equipment such as particle colliders depending on the situation.
However, in Academy City, as users of special abilities, they only need to use their abilities to draw conclusions if they want to verify their theories.
Therefore, from the perspective of theoretical verification, people with special abilities are far more convenient and faster than ordinary people. As long as they find the right path, it will not be difficult to develop the theoretical foundation and resources of Academy City.
After all, people with special abilities cannot be mass-produced, but the theories verified by people with special abilities can benefit all mankind - damn, this shows that Aleister is indeed an illiterate, and Academy City is a complete waste in his hands.
But forget it, the magician himself hasn't received much education, so it's amazing that he has a junior high school level education.
Maybe elementary school?
Considering that magicians have to learn magic anyway, Fang Zheng did not make it difficult for them to go to literacy classes.
At least I can understand the words.
The policy adjustment of Academy City and the change of Lv5 rankings have caused a lot of repercussions within Academy City. Fang Zheng took advantage of the situation and asked Kaihara Kyono to be the sworn contestant of the Daihaxing Festival.
By the way, after resolving the incident, Shokuhou Misaki also modified the memories of Shirai Kuroko and the others again, but...
"I never thought that Misaka-san would be unable to attend the ceremony because of a stomach upset. I never expected that."
"And he ate it on the street. That's totally unlike Misaka-san."
“Ahahahaha…”
Listening to the conversation between Hatsuharu and Saten Ruiko, Misaka Mikoto smiled, but was thinking, Shokuhou Misaki had returned their memories, but she had also modified them. At that time, Misaka Mikoto was furious because she found out that Shokuhou Misaki had erased the memories between Shirai Kuroko and the others, so she didn't even attend the opening ceremony of Endymion and went to cause trouble for her.
Of course, in the end, he was involved in the Kihara Gensei incident by Shokuhou Misaki, and was defeated due to his lack of combat experience. In the end, he was rescued by Fang Zheng.
By the way, the one who defeated Misaka Mikoto was none other than Dolly's friend "Xiao Mi" Keisaku Kanto, who was released from the Juvenile Reformatory by Kihara Gensho in the name of "revenge on the Unified Council" and participated in Kihara Gensho's plan. Because she had been in the Juvenile Reformatory, Keisaku Kanto had no idea that the Academy City had changed. So she was used by Kihara Gensho and became his accomplice.
After that, Shokuhou Misaki found Keisaku Kantor and explained the situation to her, and the two of them rescued the backup of "Dolly" hidden in a research institute. As for Misaka Mikoto, she was naturally returned to Fang Zheng.
As a result, in order to conceal the conflict that night, Shokuhou Misaki tampered with the memories of Shirai Kuroko and others again, so that in their memories, the reason why Misaka Mikoto did not attend the ceremony became that she picked up a lollipop on the side of the road and ate it, and then she got a stomachache and stayed in the toilet of Tokiwadai for a whole half a day...
Misaka Mikoto now wants to kill Shokuhou Misaki.
"Ah, Misaka-san, we still have to participate in the next competition. See you later."
"Ah, yeah."
Watching Riri Saten and Hatsuharu leave, Misaka Mikoto breathed a sigh of relief. Then she turned around and looked around. During the Daihasei Festival, there were many stalls around, selling all kinds of food.
"I haven't contacted Kaihara yet. There's still some time before the next competition."
Thinking of this, Misaka Mikoto breathed a sigh of relief and continued walking forward.
"But speaking of which, where did Kuroko go? Uiharu-san said she went to assist the discipline committee...ah."
As they were talking, Misaka Mikoto saw Shirai Kuroko walking out from the alley on the other side, and then looked around cautiously.
"Hey, Kuroko--!"
Seeing Kuroko, Misaka Mikoto smiled and greeted her, and when she heard Misaka Mikoto's voice, Shirai Kuroko trembled and turned around quickly.
"Ah, Onee-sama! Congratulations on winning first place in the three-legged race. I watched the entire broadcast. Onee-sama and Kaihara-san really worked together perfectly."
"Hahaha, it's okay... huh?"
When she walked to Shirai Kuroko's side, Misaka Mikoto realized that Shirai Kuroko seemed a little different. She looked radiant and her skin was full of radiance. Not only that, her face was flushed and she occasionally panted when she spoke... It made people feel a little itchy, but more importantly...
"What happened to your skirt?"
Looking at the faint water stains on Kuroko's skirt and uniform that exuded a strange smell, Misaka Mikoto couldn't help but ask curiously. When Kuroko heard Misaka Mikoto's question, her cheeks turned red and she hurriedly took two steps back.
"Um...um...I'm so sorry to say that I accidentally got some squid sauce on me while I was working..."
"Ah, I see. That's why it smells like this."
"Yes, I do."
As she spoke, Kuroko seemed a little restless as she rubbed her legs together and pulled down her skirt.
"So I plan to take this opportunity to go back and take a shower and change clothes..."
"Oh, sorry, go change your clothes."
Misaka Mikoto didn't care about this, she just smiled and waved her hand, and Kuroko nodded, then turned around with a red face and disappeared.
“Huh…”
At the same time, Fang Zheng was walking in the crowd and stretching.
Sure enough, I still need to do some exercise after dinner to feel comfortable. I just didn't expect Kuroko to be so bold and pull me to an empty alley on a day like this... Well, considering Kuroko's attributes, this doesn't seem strange? But she still shouted "I'm sorry, onee-sama..." Well, this kind of play is more exciting.
"So, what should we do next?"
As Fang Zheng spoke, he looked at the screens around him. Emilia and her friends also participated in the competition this morning, but because they were not familiar with the rules, they were eliminated. But there was nothing they could do. After all, although it was a race for borrowed objects, Emilia and her friends were not very familiar with the things written on it. As a result, many people spent a long time just looking for the objects and could only get the last place...
As for the balloon competition, Ais and Firut showed their skills and killed many of the long-distance fighters in the plane, and finally restored the situation to Zhachuan Middle School.
I just don’t know what will happen in the afternoon.
Just when Fang Zheng was taking a walk out of boredom, suddenly, a voice came from not far away.
"Nice to meet you. I'm Misaka-san's friend, Shokuhou Misaki."
"Um?"
Hearing the voice, Fang Zheng raised his head and looked forward, only to see Shokuhou Misaki smilingly holding Misaka Mikoto's arm and greeting the person opposite, and that hedgehog-haired guy - oh, Kamijou Touma.
By the way, you have slandered Misaka Mikoto so badly, and now you dare to come out and show off in front of her? Is your Lv5 dancing on a grave?
"Who is your friend?"
It was obvious that Misaka Mikoto would not give up, and she simply pushed Shokuhou Misaki away. Shokuhou Misaki then ran to Kamijou Touma with a smile and grabbed him.
"Misaka-san is so scary. She's always talking nonsense to me..."
“Ah, that…”
At the moment, Kamijou Touma obviously didn't know what to do.
"She also keeps talking to me..."
"Oh, so she is a Bilibili star from Bilibili star..."
"You two..."
Listening to the conversation between Shokuhou Misaki and Kamijou Touma, Misaka Mikoto was furious, while Fang Zheng was watching the fun with a smile on his face. However, what he didn't expect was that at this moment, Shokuhou Misaki suddenly turned around, trotted over to Fang Zheng, and took his arm.
"Oh, isn't this Mr. Fang Zheng? Did you come to see me specially? I'm really happy."
"…Hmm? What's going on?"
"Let's go, I found a delicious restaurant over there, let's go and have something delicious. Come on, I know you will treat us, Mr. Fang Zheng."
After saying this, Shokuhou Misaki completely ignored Misaka Mikoto who was jumping up and down in anger with her and Kamijou Touma who was looking confused, and turned around and pulled Fang Zheng away from the scene.
“…”
Fang Zheng looked at the two people behind him, then looked at Shokuhou Misaki who was lowering her head beside him, and then looked at the sky.
The sky is cloudless and the sun is shining.
It's not White Album season yet?
