School City, the seventh school district.
In the garden of the school, two young ladies from Tokiwadai Middle School are drinking tea in an open-air cafe bathed in sunshine.
Misaka Mikoto was drinking black tea absently.
This caused Shirai Kuroko, who was operating the laptop, to question with some confusion.
"My sister, what's wrong with you?"
Shirai Kuroko's voice awakened Misaka Mikoto.
"No... Nothing." Misaka Mikoto quickly shook his head, as if changing the subject, looked at Shirai Kuroko, and said: "Now it's time for a break, Kuroko, are you still busy with the work of the Commissioner for Discipline?"
"No way." In a helpless tone, Shirai Kuroko continued to operate the computer while explaining to Misaka Mikoto: "Nowadays, there is a possibility of chaos in the school city. The headquarters of the Commission for Discipline and Discipline especially emphasized that the Discipline Committee of each branch must Strengthen the response speed, so Heizi needs to investigate surveillance cameras everywhere to prevent crimes from appearing at any time."
Shirai Kuroko's words made Misaka Mikoto also raised her head and looked into the air.
There, the floating spacecraft slowly passed by, and the opposition and current situation between Xueyuan City and Russia were being reported on the side screen.
"War...?"
Misaka Mikoto sighed deeply.
Because, for Misaka Mikoto, it is also not something that can be ignored.
The war between Gakuen City and Russia has actually happened.
For those who are in the academy city, it is no longer limited to the content of the news, but must really worry about their own safety.
Although the General Council has long declared to the outside world, in any case, with the science and technology of the Academy City, it is absolutely impossible to fail. Even if Russia launches an intercontinental missile at the Academy City, the Academy City has a way to shoot them down. Let any shot arrive in the academy city, but there are definitely few people who can feel at ease because of this.
Now, people in the entire Academy City are worried.
Will a missile fall from the sky at any time
When will the Russian bombers fly over their heads
People can't avoid such uneasy thoughts.
Therefore, the atmosphere of the entire Academy City seems to be unprecedentedly tense, and there are even many entrepreneurs’ directors who have jointly requested refuge from the General Council, and even dismissed the students in the Academy City and allowed them to take refuge.
Not only did the chaos inside the Academy City produce such chaos, but the exterior of the Academy City also had the same but the opposite situation.
After all, Gakuen City is just a city located on the island of Japan, and does not represent the whole of Japan.
Now that Russia declares war on the academy city, the Japanese government has a negative attitude towards the war.
Japan, which does not have an army in the country, but has only the Self-Defense Forces, believes that the war with Russia has no chance of winning. Therefore, it has been putting pressure on Gakuen City to immediately accept Russia's request and avoid the war.
In response, the academy city side responded this way to the Japanese government.
"The Russian side has launched the missile without warning. Fortunately, it has not been confirmed that it contains a nuclear warhead. But we don't know when they will cross the taboo line, so the corresponding means have already been prepared. , We can guarantee that we will not be threatened. Therefore, we refuse to accept all your forcible demands, and believe that there is no obligation to protect people other than our friends. If you are ready to unilaterally coerce us, then we will also Will fight to the end."
This is simply a threat.
The implication of the school city is that with their technology, there is absolutely no way to deal with the Russian attack.
But if Japan is not prepared to support the academy city, then the academy city has no obligation to protect this country.
At that time, if one of the Russian intercontinental missiles launched against the Academy City falls outside of the Academy City, then the Academy City will not be responsible.
In other words, Academy City is threatening this country with Russian-made missiles.
In view of this, most domestic citizens flocked to politicians and strongly demanded the Japanese government to fight for the protection of the academy city.
Therefore, now, both inside and outside the academy city, there is a rather chaotic situation.
This not only caused the frequent actions of the Discipline Committee and the Security Officer, and made Shirai Kuroko so busy, but also prevented Misaka Mikoto from staying out of the matter.
Baijing Kuroko knew about this.
"Speaking of it, did the director of the general council contact your sister before?" Shirai Kuroko frowned, and said with some annoyance: "Are those guys really planning to put students on the battlefield?"
Yes.
On the battlefield.
Before, a director of the academy city general council contacted Misaka Mikoto and expressed an idea to her.
The rough meaning is that when the battle situation on the academy city side is tight, perhaps, as the only seven superpowers in the academy city, Misaka Mikoto is likely to be sent to the battlefield, so that Misaka Mikoto will be mentally prepared. Prepare.
"What are those guys thinking?"
Baijing Kuroko felt serious dissatisfaction with this matter.
On the contrary, it was Misaka Mikoto, although she felt very repulsive, but still said so.
"Well, this is no way. Who makes Lv.5 superpowers the biggest weapon in Academy City?"
Originally, there were only seven superpowers in the entire city, which existed in rankings based on the versatility and utilization of their abilities.
Misaka Mikoto's ability is also, if it is used in military purposes, it will play a great value, so it can become the third place.
That being the case, as a superpower who can match the army by one person, it is only natural that the academy city will want to invest these trump cards when the battle conditions are tight.
However, sending students to the battlefield will undoubtedly cause moral problems in society.
"The director also said that he won't let me go on the battlefield until I have to be a last resort, so don't worry about it, Sunspot."
Misaka Mikoto said so, but he thought of the other Lv.5 superpowers he had seen before.
The first party passes.
The fourth atom collapsed.
These two superpowers are both existences living in the darkness of the academy city.
(If it were them, they would be sent to the battlefield immediately, right?)
Of course, there is another one besides this.
That is now the second place, Fangli known as the "End of the Road Observation".
That person also had more or less connections with the depths of the Academy City.
Even, I am not in the academy city now.
(Before it was involved in the civil strife in the UK, now the UK and France are at war, and the school city and Russia are already in conflict. Isn't that guy doing dangerous things again?)
Thinking of this, Misaka Mikoto couldn't help thinking about it.
at this time…
"Ala, Misaka-san, so you are here?"
A sweet voice sounded from behind Misaka Mikoto, causing Misaka Mikoto's face to sink instantly.
