Chapter 402: Clues to Breaking Through 500,000 Horses

Shokuhou Misaki held the diamond in her hand blankly, her star-shaped pupils full of confusion.

In this Academy City, because the Academy City is far ahead of the forefront of the times and the level of science and technology known, there are all kinds of darkness hidden behind the scenes, coupled with the environment dominated by students, urban legends are very popular.

For example, a man who can eliminate all abilities, an experimental subject of the elixir of immortality, a frog-faced doctor with superb medical skills, etc.

But Shokuhou Misaki, who has read the memories of many researchers, understands that this is just an error caused by different levels of understanding.

It's like the truth of the legend that the Talented Workshop she belongs to is a mysterious underground organization that can give people abilities, but apart from the darkness in the depths, the Talented Workshop is actually an officially recognized research institution.

It's just that it can't be known to the public, and fools spread rumors that led to this result.

But now, Shokuhou Misaki has retracted all her previous prejudices.

Because after seeing someone pinch a branch into a diamond with his bare hands, her brain inevitably crashed for a moment.

"What is this...?"

"Diamond."

Roland tilted his head in confusion.

"It shouldn't be hard to recognize it."

Who wants to ask this!

Shokuhou Misaki has no doubt about the true nature of the gem in her hand that is still slightly warm.

In principle, it is not unreasonable to pinch the branch into a diamond, after all, it is just a molecular adjustment of carbon.

But it is too subtle to achieve this by holding it in the palm of your hand. Don't such arm wrestlers usually only appear in funny comics?

Being able to do this is a superpower in itself...

"I see, this is really...an unexpected ability."

After her thoughts gradually calmed down, Shokuhou Misaki also came back to her senses.

"You have just developed your ability and have achieved this level of interference. You are indeed worth competing for with research institutions."

"It's great that you understand. If you ask me for an explanation, I will be very troubled."

Roland shrugged, "After all, doing this kind of thing is like breathing to me. No one would bother about how to breathe, right?"

Shokuhou Misaki nodded.

Without the development plan of Academy City, the ability users who awakened by chance would indeed use their abilities more instinctively like rough stones.

However, with the progress of development and the improvement of levels, instinct can no longer support more advanced calculations.

"So, this is also the reason why you ask if there is a problem with the structure of the banknote?"

"That's right. After all, I came to Academy City with nothing. The guy who greeted me only got me a mobile phone and an ID card, so I had to fend for myself."

Roland waved his hand, and the smile on his face became more gentle.

"But you can rest assured. From any angle, this is a genuine product. It is more than enough to compensate for this meal."

Shokuhou Misaki did not refute this point. Even though the status of diamonds among gems has been declining with the development of technology, it is not so cheap that it can be compared with a fast food meal.

But——

"So, this is not a matter of money at all!"

Shokuhou Misaki shouted in a self-deprecating manner.

She was born in a famous family after all, and as a high-level ability user, when she cooperated with the research in the talent workshop, she had a very generous subsidy deposited into her account every month.

Even if she looked at it in the long run, this was enough for her to live a very generous and wealthy life.

"Really? Then let's just take it as it is."

Roland looked at Shokuhou Misaki who was holding the diamond tightly with empty eyes, "In that case, do you want to use this excuse to chat with me?"

A fatal blow.

The girl fell into silence, her eyes moving unnaturally.

Compared to the nympho who suddenly found an excuse to actively chat up the other party, the miser who kept pestering for a meal money didn't seem so unacceptable.

No... I still can't accept it!

"Hehe... Hehehe."

Shokuhou Misaki risked it.

With a gloomy laugh, her hand reached into her handbag, pulled out a remote control, and pointed it at Roland with gritted teeth.

"Erase the memory! Erase all the memories related to my shame power just now!"

Although she decided to use her ability carefully, she didn't intend to let the experience of meeting Roland just now be buried in her memories.

But this kind of subtle operation that only involves her own image is still within the tolerance range of Shokuhou Misaki.

What's more, even if it is an operation outside the tolerance range, it is nothing compared to the risk of the rumor that Miss Shokuhou Misaki is a nympho spreading.

However--

"You are really domineering, but if you are worried that I will spread the fact that I was entangled by a junior high school student, there is no need at all. I don't intend to reveal it at all."

Roland said with an unchanged smile.

"I told you, being entangled with a flat-chested girl will only make people doubt my reputation."

"Why didn't you react?"

It was obviously not as if she had forgotten the embarrassing memory just now, but it seemed to be more deeply engraved.

But at this moment, Shokuhou Misaki had no time to care about these details. She instinctively pressed the button on the remote control again.

"Eliminate——!"

Even if she repeated the action, she could not get any good results. Shokuhou Misaki seemed to be performing a one-man show to the air. She even attracted the curious eyes of passers-by because of her exaggerated action.

Because psychological control is so broad that it is like a panacea, it includes the ability of various mental operations. It was once considered to be the operation of living current.

But after research, this theory is just a phenomenon of her operation.

Shokuhou Misaki's ability is actually to manipulate the water content of the human body. In other words, it controls the secretion of substances in the brain of the target, and then changes the conduction efficiency by changing neurotransmitters. When encountering a superpower who can manipulate the type of living current, the effect of psychological control will be greatly reduced.

But no matter whether it can be resisted or not, when the mind is interfered with, there should be the most basic reaction.

People with strong physical abilities will feel dizzy, and the electric shock that can build an electromagnetic barrier will cause the current to overflow unconsciously.

But Roland in front of him just watched this scene silently, with a slight flash in his bright red pupils, and I don’t know what he was thinking.

Even in the changes in micro-expressions, only a single look like curiosity can be seen.

Didn’t I break through his defense at all?

Thinking back to the fact that Roland could adjust the atomic structure just now, it seemed reasonable that he could control himself without being affected. From this perspective, he might be the nemesis of his own ability.

But saying that, seeing that the psychological control that he had originally held with absolute confidence was invalid

--or because of being embarrassed and angry, Shokuhou Misaki couldn't help but throw away the appearance of a rich lady.

"I have erased my memory thirty-eight times, why do you remember my embarrassing appearance so clearly!"

Shokuhou Misaki gritted her teeth and raised her leg. Driven by reason and emotion, she kicked Roland's calf with all her strength.

But just like everything will turn into the opposite when it reaches its extreme, people who are born with the ability to manipulate people's hearts often don't need to rely on themselves to do anything, so they don't need to make the effort required to exercise their bodies.

Although she is not a bad existence who treats others as puppets, Shokuhou Misaki has not escaped this law.

In short, she is not good at sports and her physical fitness is still very poor.

"Ah!"

Accompanied by a scream, the girl with a face full of pain staggered forward, and the feeling of losing balance made Shokuhou Misaki wave her hands and feet in a panic.

Fortunately, because the distance was very close, even though she was very weak in physical fitness, she also took advantage of the situation to grab the only balance point handed over.

Roland's arm.

Seeing this scene, Roland was also a little helpless.

Although his body was enough to withstand the impact of the fighter plane even without the protective power, but with the strength of Shokuhou Misaki, which was more like acting like a spoiled child than venting anger, there wouldn't be much reaction force, right?

But when she didn't move at all and there was no external interference, she almost fell to the ground.

The girl named Shokuhou Misaki once again refreshed Roland's perception of women in terms of physical fitness.

"Shokuhou-san, you should never go to a swimming pool alone in the future. Even if it's a children's pool, you will lose your balance if you kick someone. If there's no rescuer watching, you'll probably... no, I should say you'll definitely get into trouble."

"You... you're too long-winded,"

Although she wanted to refute, because it was too embarrassing, Shokuhou Misaki's voice was much weaker.

Under the skirt of the sailor uniform, the beautiful legs wrapped in white stockings gently stood up because of the pain.

Shokuhou Misaki pouted her rosy lips and complained a little unhappy.

"It's all because your legs are too stiff. Are they made of steel?"

She held Roland's arm tightly with one hand as if grasping a life-saving straw.

"You'd better change your excessive self-consciousness. Kicking people is a very dangerous action for you in all aspects."

Roland sighed, "Although in terms of the result, I didn't suffer any loss."

"Tsk, sorry..."

Even if she was angry for a moment, kicking people actively did lose her status as a noble and elegant first-class daughter.

So, although she was a little unwilling, Shokuhou Misaki still apologized to Roland honestly.

"It doesn't matter. I said I didn't suffer any loss." Roland's mouth corners slightly raised, looking at Shokuhou Misaki with some teasing, "By the way, if you ask me for my contact information now, I will be happy to give it to you."

"Huh?"

The idea that she had been unable to say in her heart because of her hesitation was easily realized. For Shokuhou Misaki, who had already given up on herself, it was no different from the surprise of a traveler who had been walking in the desert for a long time and found an oasis.

"Huhu, although you claim that you are not interested in junior high school students, are you finally going to stimulate your perverted power?"

The girl who had been frustrated looked like a gangster who had caught the enemy's weakness and began to pursue him relentlessly. She looked at Roland who was smiling, narrowed her eyes with some complacency, and showed a sweet smile.

"What an incredible speech,"

Roland raised his eyebrows, without any sense of being caught in the pain point. On the contrary, looking at the girl who proudly raised her barren chest, his expression gradually became playful.

"But I also admit that no matter how flat, a woman's chest is still a woman's chest. I think a girl who can wear spider web lace at this age is still worth investing in in advance."

Instant.

Shokuhou Misaki's face instantly turned red from the tip of her nose to the roots of her ears. Her elegant and calm ladylike demeanor had just appeared, but it was thrown out of the window again.

"Uh...?!"

The girl's pretty face blushed. Because her ability could not take effect, she could only cover her skirt with her hands in panic and glared at Roland fiercely.

"So, what are you going to do?"

Roland's eyes paused slightly on Shokuhou Misaki's hand that was still holding his arm, and he said with some noncommittal.

"It seems that the time is about the same. The access control and class time of aristocratic schools like Tokiwadai should be strictly managed, right? Although this place is not far from the school garden, considering that there is still a distance to enter the interior, it is better to prepare early."

This excuse is not very clever, but it is indeed effective.

As a junior high school student who has just enrolled, Shokuhou Misaki's time is not free enough to completely ignore the school.

Although the statement of cooperating with the research institution can break this problem, doesn't it confirm that she is the kind of person who still pesters the other party even if the other party shows a tactful refusal?

"...Please give me your contact information."

Shokuhou Misaki blushed and said in a mosquito-like voice.

This sounded more like a soliloquy than a request.

But this naturally could not escape Roland's ears, but he still pretended not to hear it at all, with a gleam of evil taste in his eyes, and said with a smile.

"Sorry, I didn't hear it clearly. Can you please say it again?"

Such bad words made Shokuhou Misaki look like a teapot with steam coming out of it, and her face became brighter.

But when she thought of the garden under the skirt and her embarrassing appearance, they had become an indelible part of the other party's mind.

With such a sunk cost, it didn't matter what she said next.

Shokuhou Misaki bit her lip, as if she had figured it out, slowly raised her head, and looked at Roland fearlessly.

"Please give..."

——

Looking at the back of the angry girl leaving, Roland stretched with some pleasure.

Flirting with a tsundere is indeed a healthy activity, especially if the other party is a beautiful girl.

Roland glanced at the new contact in his phone, which was also the only one, and chuckled.

Although he was just wandering around on a whim, he did not suffer any loss in terms of the result.

Before he rushed to explore the clues to break through the 500,000 horsepower limit, the clues came to him.

"Can the AIM force field also cause changes in the magnetic field environment? Now that the material problem has been solved, the next step is the means..."

Roland stopped and pondered for a while, then suddenly looked up at the sky.

He looked at Mercury, which still existed in the solar system and had a place in the tree of life.
