Chapter 837: The Girls Who Came Looking
Compared to Final Signal and Index, two little girls who were completely oblivious, the three transfer students dressed in A Certain High School girls' uniforms appeared much more dignified and composed, showing the demeanor of high school students.
—Though two of them were fake transfer students.
The large-sized Misaka with brown long hair was Misaka Worst, which was easy to identify; as for the other black-haired girl wearing thin-rimmed glasses… Lin Wuming also knew her.
Kazakiri Hyouka—the aggregate of AIM Diffusion Field, and also the yet-to-awaken “Scientific Angel.”
Since their last joint battle against the magician Sherry Cromwell, Lin Wuming had not seen Kazakiri Hyouka again.
Therefore, even though Kazakiri Hyouka had displayed a completely different, Madness side during their first meeting compared to the original plot, Lin Wuming quickly put it behind him and didn't particularly dwell on it due to the rich experiences that followed.
However, when their gazes met again at this moment, even Lin Wuming, who was not good at reading expressions, could feel the strong will emanating from her eyes.
“This is bad…” Lin Wuming couldn't help but gasp, muttering, “I have a feeling things are going to get very troublesome…”
Facts proved that Lin Wuming’s worries were well-founded.
Misaka Worst and Kazakiri Hyouka had somehow gotten together, and they seemed to be on very good terms.
Both of them could be described as anomalies among anomalies, and oddities among oddities, and they were the kind who were self-aware, so they acted even more recklessly.
For example, disguising themselves as transfer students and blending into A Certain High School…
And their purpose was also very simple, actually similar to Index’s—it was just to find someone.
Index came to find Kamijou Touma, and Misaka Worst and Kazakiri Hyouka naturally came for Lin Wuming.
It was no wonder they got together; after all, their underlying thought processes were the same.
In contrast, Misaka Worst and Kazakiri Hyouka appeared more mature in that they knew how to disguise themselves—at least they changed into A Certain High School uniforms…
And just as Shokuhou Misaki worried, Misaka Worst and Kazakiri Hyouka chose to blend into the school at this time precisely because Lin Wuming’s defenses were weakest only when he was at school, providing an opportunity!
“Wuming, you’ve come just in time,” Huangquanchuan Aisui said, rubbing her temples, visibly relieved to see Lin Wuming arrive, “I’ll leave things here to you now.”
Out of trust in Lin Wuming and a premonition of how troublesome these girls would be, Huangquanchuan Aisui decisively chose to let go—believing that Lin Wuming could handle these matters.
“Hiss…” Lin Wuming smiled wryly, couldn't help but imitate Huangquanchuan Aisui, rubbing his temples, “Anyway, why did you think of coming to the school?”
Regardless, he first needed to figure out their intentions.
Or rather, Lin Wuming was still deceiving himself, wondering if he could get a simpler answer.
“I naturally came for Wuming (Senior).” Kazakiri Hyouka and Misaka Worst said in unison.
“I came to find Touma.” Index also replied, perhaps misunderstanding.
Since everyone had answered, Final Signal also raised her hand and said, “I heard that Accelerator is attending Senior Wuming’s school, so I wanted to come and play.”
Hearing their replies, the three boys on this side all sighed.
“Alright, I’m leaving this to you. Don’t let them run around the school.” With a final instruction, Huangquanchuan Aisui decisively retreated.
“How should I put it, this kid Lin Wuming…” As she walked, Huangquanchuan Aisui, as his Guardian, continued to sigh, “He’s just not easy to deal with when it comes to these kinds of things—though it’s not entirely his fault.”
But in Huangquanchuan Aisui’s opinion, if Lin Wuming could make a decision sooner, perhaps it could save a lot of trouble.
However, thinking back, the girls around Lin Wuming were all excellent, so making a choice truly was quite difficult.
The most crucial point was that those from Tokiwadai Middle School were still middle schoolers. Whether from the perspective of a Guardian, a Teacher, or Guards, she really couldn't forcefully urge Lin Wuming to make a choice…
“Huangquanchuan-sensei, it’s not good to be sighing on the first day of the new semester.” A familiar voice suddenly came from below and to the side, “What’s wrong? Did the students forget to bring their summer homework?”
“It’s not that they forgot to bring it; it’s all excuses for not doing their homework.” Huangquanchuan Aisui said, “Komoe Sensei, you know those brats’ usual tricks, don’t you?”
“Well, it’s summer break after all, so a little leniency is fine.” The Teacher, who had the physique of an elementary school student, smiled gently.
“It’s not good to indulge them too much.”
“I also know that sometimes it’s better to be strict with students,” Komoe Sensei nodded seriously, “I must learn from Huangquanchuan-sensei on this point. So, why are you sighing?”
“What else could it be for? Of course, it’s Lin Wuming.”
Komoe Sensei smiled gently: “Huangquanchuan-sensei has become an excellent Guardian, and you will definitely become a good mother in the future.”
“Don’t joke around,” Huangquanchuan Aisui shook her head and said, “It’s not even close to happening… No, I haven’t even ground the ink yet.”
Thinking about it carefully, in terms of personal feelings, she as a Guardian was even worse off than Lin Wuming, who was being looked after.
Huangquanchuan Aisui suddenly felt disheartened and completely gave up on the idea of interfering in this matter.
—Let the young people resolve their own affairs. Anyway, with Lin Wuming’s personality, he wouldn’t act recklessly.
“But before that…” Suddenly remembering something, Huangquanchuan Aisui immediately pulled out her phone, “It’s better to inform Hu Feng about the situation here.”
Yueyong Xiaomeng walked quickly beside her, smiling as she said, “Ultimately, Huangquanchuan, you still favor Hu Feng Tong Xue more.”
“After all, I’m her Guardian too.” Huangquanchuan Aisui said, “But the young people’s matters, let them handle it themselves. I won’t interfere too much.”
“That’s right,” Teacher Yueyong Xiaomeng nodded with deep feeling, “Children nowadays are really maturing earlier and earlier. Each one seems to have their own opinions, and it’s truly taxing to manage them well.”
“They’re high school students after all,” Huangquanchuan Aisui said, “Although their minds might not be mature yet, their physiques are already at an adult level, not to mention they possess esper ability. Suppressing them is indeed quite troublesome…”
“Huangquanchuan-sensei, I wasn’t talking about delinquents, okay?” Yueyong Xiaomeng reminded her.
“Sorry, occupational habit…” Huangquanchuan Aisui smiled wryly and shook her head. The Anti-Skill’s work during the summer vacation had been too busy, so she hadn’t been able to switch over yet.
