Academy City's Puppet Master

As the leader of the famous school, it is natural to participate in the opening ceremony in the large gymnasium of the main venue.

It's an honor.But for the majority of students, it is more like suffering.

Dozens of principals gave speeches one after another, making the opening ceremony drag on for more than three hours!

The main venue attracted much attention and was also the focus of media attention.Whether the students in this venue are willing or not, they have to pull themselves together and make the most perfect performance.

Unfortunately, Ling Xingye, as a quasi-Level 4 powerful person, is naturally one of the representatives of the school, so he had to stand in the front row.

While absently listening to the speech on the stage, Ling Xingye paid attention to the report coming from the earphone.

From zero o'clock today, the "customs" gates of Academy City are open to welcome tourists from all over the world.

At the same time, the security system of the entire city is also fully operational, ready to respond to various emergencies.

Ling Xingye's group of armed incompetents is no exception—the law enforcement team works in three shifts, fully integrated into the security force system, and cooperates to maintain order in the corners of the city.

Although Ling Xingye appears to be a good student with both good character and academics, he is also the leader of the biggest bad group in Academy City.

Even if there are no special circumstances, there will be a routine report every half an hour.

So Ling Xingye prepared a concealed Bluetooth headset and a button communicator in advance.

Originally, Qifan had the full power to entrust this kind of chores, but after learning that a "Yanshi" puppet came to Academy City, Ling Xingye no longer dared to be careless and insisted on handling all the information himself.

Several reports were safe and sound, which made Ling Xingye feel at ease, but also somewhat boring.

Finally, the opening ceremony came to the last link - the declaration of student representatives.

Under the introduction of the host, there were only eight level 5 superpowers in Academy City on the podium.

"The representative of the students who did their homework this year is... from Tokiwadai Middle School, the fifth-ranked "Psychological Mastery"-Shokuhou Misaki!

"And the eighth-ranked "Ice Age" from Changdian School of Computer Science——Lily Mezzas!"

===Chapter 470 Parents===

"... Give full play to the results of daily study, show your growth attitude to relatives and friends, and express your gratitude to them..."

While the students witnessed the declaration of two level5 student representatives in the gymnasium, visiting tourists and students' relatives and friends also watched the live broadcast through large screens all over the city.

The streets of the city are full of adults that are rarely seen on weekdays.

These people who are obviously not in the same style as the city are either looking around in high spirits or frowning, looking down from time to time to check the tour brochure in their hands.

At this time, most of the students and teachers were in the venue to participate in the opening ceremony.

Therefore, the number of disciplinary committee members and security personnel is extremely limited, so that these tourists who are pouring into the city are in a state of "stocking".

Although Academy City has also taken countermeasures, such as arranging a larger number of barrel-shaped robots to patrol the streets than in the past-they are all equipped with activity guide maps and automatic question-and-answer modes.

But people don't seem to be very used to asking barrel robots for directions.

On the contrary, the "Law Enforcement Team" armed with the incompetent group has become the most well-managed organization at this moment, surrounded by many people asking for directions.

Even so, Qifan sent all the people on his side out, but it was just a drop in the bucket.

Fortunately, the parents, relatives and friends of the students were watching the opening ceremony nearby, so there were not many problems.

The opening ceremony is over and the competition officially begins.

Students and teachers are also all free.

In an instant, the streets and alleys of the city became lively again.

Parents tried their best to find their children; tourists also grabbed the security teachers and discipline committee members who came out on duty and asked where they wanted to go.

Of course, not everyone has to rely on external forces to find their destination.

"In today's era, there are fewer and fewer people who have mastered the skill of reading maps." A young woman said with emotion.

She was tall and slender, with long black and smooth black hair, which was simply tied into a ponytail and hung down to her waist like satin.

With a pair of sunglasses on his delicate face, he looks like a college student or graduate student, but he is wearing a rather serious women's suit.

"Hmm... Let me see, let's go to the computer school..." The woman looked at the tour map, "But Xingye said that he will not be active in school today. If I knew it, I would have asked him which competitions he participated in .”

The woman was Ling Xingye's sister, Lu Xuyang, who stopped the barrel robot passing by.

"Please check for me the competitions Ling Xingye participated in."

Because he wanted to "surprise his lovely brother", or a surprise attack would be more appropriate, Lu Xuyang didn't contact Ling Xingye in advance, and after coming to Academy City, he did all the activities by himself.

"Insufficient authority, unable to query." The robot replied, "If necessary, please choose manual service."

Lu Xuyang was stunned for a moment, but he soon felt relieved. In Ling Xingye's situation, it is normal for his personal information to be controlled by intelligence.

"Well, can I only contact Xingye?" Lu Xuyang took out his mobile phone, "Or should we contact Xiaotong?"

Lu Xuyang knew that Shiranuotong was Ling Xingye's closest girl, but he had never met her directly, at most, he had only had a few video calls with her.

"Will the sudden contact scare her?"

"Sorry for the interruption..." Someone suddenly spoke up behind him.

Lu Xuyang looked back and found that the person talking to him was a young woman.

He looked about the same age as Lu Xuyang himself, probably still a college student, wearing a light gray shirt and dark black slender trousers made of thin fabric.Although the design is simple, Lu Xuyang recognized that they are all high-end brands.

At first glance, he was dressed in a rather formal high-level professional white-collar attire, but compared to Lu Xuyang's own suit, it still looked more casual.

Moreover, the woman who asked the question also seemed to be pretending to be mature.

Is it the older sister of a student here?

Lu Xuyang made a judgment: "What's the matter?"

"Seeing that you can use these machines proficiently, do you want to ask where is Tokiwadai Middle School?" The strange woman pointed to the barrel robot and asked, "This place is really big, it's easy to get lost, and I'm not very good at it. To deal with these machines..."

"Hey, this is very easy, just ask it directly?" Lu Xuyang patted the barrel robot, but he still helped to ask.

For many people, Academy City, whose technology has been ahead of the outside world for 30 years, is undoubtedly a science fiction world.Even if it is a variety of machines operated by fools, I am afraid it will be difficult to accept for a while.

Or they didn't expect to ask the barrel robot at all.

Only Lu Xuyang, who has a good understanding of Academy City in a certain sense, can take correct countermeasures naturally.

"Insufficient authority, unable to query." This time the robot replied more simply, "Please transfer to manual service, or ask the security personnel."

"Hey~ Can't you find it?" The strange woman said, "No wonder I couldn't find Tokiwadai Middle School in the guidebook."

Lu Xuyang remembered the relevant information: "I heard from Xingye that the college house where Tokipandai Middle School is located is one of the areas with the highest level of secrecy, and it should not be open to the public, so it's normal if you can't find it."

"Huh? Really! Where is that girl Mikoto? It's a pity that I took a leave of absence from university to come here!"

Are you really a college student?It should be the older sister of the girl named Mikoto...

"Wait, are you talking about Misaka Mikoto?" Lu Xuyang asked.

"Yes, yes," said the strange woman happily, "Do you know her?"

"The third 'super electromagnetic gun', in a sense, no one knows about it?" Lu Xuyang said, "I always feel that Xingye will know where she is... But why don't you call and ask directly?" Where's Misaka Mikoto?"

"I'm not sure if she had a cell phone because she was wearing tracksuits."

"How will you know if you don't try?" Lu Xuyang took out his mobile phone, "Anyway, let me ask Xingye first..."

As she was speaking, her ears keenly caught the familiar voice.

"It's a starry night!"

She raised her head and looked in the direction of the sound, and found him in the crowd at a glance.

Ling Xingye was wearing track and field sportswear, still carrying his iconic travel bag, surrounded by Hitomi Shiranui and several other girls.

Next to her was a girl with brown hair who was also wearing a running uniform and shorts.

"Ah! That's our family's Mikoto! Because I was too busy at university, I didn't have time to make an appointment with her..."

The strange woman raised her hand and was about to shout.

But suddenly he was pulled back by Lu Xuyang.

"?"

"Hush, listen to what they are saying first." The corners of Lu Xuyang's mouth raised, and there was a sly look behind the sunglasses.

===Chapter 470 Two Mutual Challenges===

Ling Xingye and the others were unaware of her sister's secret observation.

A group of people are discussing intensely.

It is also thanks to the fact that there are more foreign tourists and parents on the road at this time, but the number of local students is relatively small.

Otherwise, this team combination will definitely attract crowds of onlookers.

Forget about Ling Xingye himself, except for "the famous street performer in the shopping street of the fifth school district", he is only level 3 and he is not conspicuous.

The key is the girls around you.

Take a look at the "Queen of Memory" of Shangji Academy—a level 4 powerful "memory builder", Hitomi Shiranui.

The two Level 5s who declared as student representatives at the opening ceremony just now—"Psychological Mastery" Shokuhou Misaki, and "Ice Age" Lily Mezas.

And the "Railgun" Misaka Mikoto, who is also level 5 and ranked third.And Misaka 10001 followed behind her like a shadow clone.

It can be said to be an all-star lineup representing Academy City.

——It is no exaggeration to say that all the level 5 that can be seen normally are here.

A few people just walked out of the venue, and they got together somehow.

Shokuhou Misaki approached Ling Xingye and Hitomi Shiranui, and greeted them with a smile.

Lily stared at Shokuhou Misaki with a high-spirited look.Also at level 5, Misaka Mikoto has known her for a long time, but Shokuhou Misaki didn't meet her for the first time until today.

To be honest, for various reasons, Lily doesn't have a good impression of Shokuhou Misaki.

She wanted to give it a try, to see if she could beat the fifth superpower user.
