Chapter 833: A Boring Summer Vacation
Caochi Liangzi sighed, rubbing her temples, and asked, "Let's put aside the matter of repaying kindness for now; what exactly do you intend to do by suddenly becoming a transfer student?"
"Go to school," Caochi Sakura said as if it were the most natural thing in the world. "I want to live, go to school, grow, and finally die like a normal human. Or does Our main body have any objections to this?"
"But why did you have to choose Our…" Caochi Liangzi suddenly let out a long sigh. "Alright, I understand."
The reason didn't really matter, and she could probably guess it anyway.
She would just consider it atonement for past mistakes. Could she really stop Caochi Sakura?
Due to limited time, their conversation didn't last long. Soon, a classmate came to inform them to prepare to move to the gymnasium for the opening ceremony.
The one who came to inform them was Allie—at this moment, Allie's situation was also a bit special.
You see, unless it was in a place like one of the five major schools, a Level 4 Great Ability User could easily become a star in their class or even the school, always surrounded by many admiring classmates.
But now, Allie was a rare case of a sudden rags-to-riches transformation, a plain duckling turning into a swan. As a result, for a time, no one approached her, let alone had admirers or supporters.
Her original "good friends" go without saying; they even wished they could immediately transfer or take a leave of absence, wanting to be as far away as possible from this new "star."
As for the other classmates in the class, although they hadn't participated in the pranks against Allie, they were the type who chose to "turn a blind eye." At this moment, they all felt guilty and ashamed, and for a while, they couldn't bring themselves to shamelessly approach her.
The end result was that Allie found her situation hadn't really changed; she was still in a state of "being isolated"…
Just then, the Ms. Teacher announced that everyone should gather at the gymnasium. To escape the awkward atmosphere in the classroom, Allie volunteered to inform the Caochi sisters.
"Allie, you…" Caochi Liangzi rubbed her brow forcefully, feeling that this timid-looking girl was also a troublesome character.
—I think I'll continue to take leave and self-study this semester. The school courses aren't difficult anyway.
Caochi Liangzi thought silently to herself.
"Allie, we meet again," Caochi Sakura, however, stepped forward and greeted her proactively.
"Meet again?" Allie was confused.
"It's okay if you don't remember," Caochi Sakura said with a smile. "Let's get along well from now on."
Allie somewhat ignorantly shook her hand, then came to her senses: "Hurry back, we need to gather at the gymnasium. Everyone is waiting."
The three of them returned to the classroom together, and sure enough, everyone, including the Ms. Teacher, was waiting for them.
Unlike Allie, the classmates were clearly more enthusiastic about the transfer student. When they saw Caochi Sakura return, the atmosphere in the classroom became lively.
If it weren't for the upcoming opening ceremony, many classmates would surely have gathered around Caochi Sakura for an enthusiastic chat.
Even if Caochi Sakura's appearance was almost identical to Caochi Liangzi's, it wouldn't deter people's curiosity—a transfer student simply had that much charm.
…
A Certain High School, where Lin Wuming was, also welcomed a transfer student.
However, it wasn't in Lin Wuming's class, but in Kamijou Touma's first-year Class Seven.
Himegami Aisa, the "Vampire Killer," transferred and became Kamijou Touma's classmate, just as in the original work.
Of course, this small matter had nothing to do with Lin Wuming. Lin Wuming was at most relieved that finally, something aligned with the original plot.
After the class meeting, Lin Wuming was dealing with Accelerator.
"Lin Wuming, you didn't use a wheelchair today."
As soon as these words were spoken, the classroom instantly became much quieter. The classmates all perked up their ears, and even their conversations were lowered.
Or rather, they were pretending to chat with each other, but in reality, they were all paying attention to the "Level 5 conversation" happening here.
The wheelchair had almost become Lin Wuming's signature accessory, and Lin Wuming sitting in a wheelchair was a widely known classic image.
Therefore, when Lin Wuming walked into the classroom like any other ordinary student this morning, almost no one recognized him.
—Why isn't Lin Wuming operating a wheelchair?
—Are his legs better?
—Is this Lin Wuming real or fake?
Questions like these instantly flooded almost everyone's minds.
But no one dared to presumptuously step forward to ask, or rather, before they could even ask, Accelerator beat them to it.
However, this was not surprising. After a semester of getting along, the classmates had more or less figured out Accelerator's temperament and personality. Whether you call him arrogant and conceited or bad at communicating with people; in any case, under normal circumstances, Accelerator would only communicate with Lin Wuming, who was also a Level 5.
Without a doubt, the two Level 5s were good friends!
So everyone changed their strategy, choosing to wait and see, letting Accelerator be their spokesperson.
"After all, Nen is a very convenient ability," Lin Wuming replied.
Not using the wheelchair today was also intentional, the external explanation being "using Nen to assist walking."
Ultimately, it was a bluff—precisely because his Nen hadn't fully recovered, Lin Wuming had to use this method to imply that his Nen had no problems.
He just needed to hold out for a day or two.
Accelerator was silent for a moment, very tacitly not pressing further—he knew the truth that Lin Wuming's Nen had been weakened.
"Speaking of which," Accelerator suddenly exclaimed, "Your summer vacation was really exciting."
"Exciting? I was just in the hospital…" Lin Wuming complained helplessly. "Honestly, I really wanted to get some good rest."
With the main plot about to begin, Lin Wuming genuinely wanted to take advantage of this last "peaceful" summer vacation to enjoy a quiet and harmonious life.
Lin Wuming had originally planned everything perfectly: as long as he avoided the magic-side incidents—just let Kamijou Touma handle all of them, since that's how the original plot unfolded, there shouldn't be any problems.
As for the "Misaka Sisters" incident, he had already resolved it in advance. So he should have been very free this summer.
At most, he would just pay a little attention to Kamijou Touma's situation to keep track of the plot's progress.
But the result was…
"Ah…" Lin Wuming let out a long sigh, then counter-questioned, "How about you? How was your first summer vacation since officially starting school?"
"How was it…" Accelerator recalled for a moment and said, "Although it was still very boring, compared to when I used to do nothing, it was indeed a bit more fulfilling. It's just that what I actually did were still some boring things."
