A Scientific Urban Detective

“As expected, the ingredients at home are limited,” Lin Wuming sighed, checking the refrigerator's contents. “I need to remember to restock tomorrow.”

Because Hubi Tumie lives at school and doesn't usually come back, and Huangquan Chuan Aiho has been working overtime a lot recently, Lin Wuming has also been slacking off when it comes to meals.

“Speaking of which, did you come back alone?” Lin Wuming suddenly thought of something and turned to ask.

“Don't worry, people have bodyguards.” Shokuhou Misaki said.

To raise Fei, she specifically acquired a food company and also hired a professional bodyguard team, which was nominally under the food company as security guards.

Under the dual effects of money and “Mental Out,” this professional bodyguard team has become Shokuhou Misaki's most loyal private guard. Regardless of their actual strength, they can at least handle daily security work.

This time, Shokuhou Misaki sneaked back, and this team was responsible for her security.

But in other words, it also means that Kazari Uiharu and Kyouzaku Mikoto are not here, and Shokuhou Misaki sneaked out of the school dormitory by herself.

“Don't worry,” Shokuhou Misaki said, “there's no dangerous force recently.”

“What about the school?” Lin Wuming asked.

“Of course, there's even less to worry about.” Shokuhou Misaki said triumphantly, “People can go wherever they want~”

“Well, it's good that you know your limits.” Lin Wuming didn't say much. In terms of mental maturity, this girl is even more reliable than most adults.

Lin Wuming was busy in the kitchen, and Shokuhou Misaki came to the kitchen door with great interest to watch.

“Speaking of which,” Lin Wuming asked again, “your faction…”

“Ah!” Shokuhou Misaki suddenly shouted, then pouted and tapped the door frame. “Well, it's just not going to work, there are only a dozen people in total…”

Shokuhou Misaki looked quite frustrated, but she still chose to tell the truth.

The formation of the Shokuhou faction was not very smooth. Apart from the team that Shokuhou Misaki brought into the school herself, only a few first-year freshmen joined her faction out of curiosity and admiration for Level 5.

As for the second and third-year seniors, they didn't seem to be interested in this faction formed by freshmen.

“After all, it's only been less than a week since the start of school,” Lin Wuming comforted. “It's already pretty good to achieve this.”

“But it's still far from what people expected!” Shokuhou Misaki complained. “People made a bold statement to build the largest faction.”

“Isn't the timing a bit bad?” Lin Wuming said. “You're essentially competing head-on with your senior sisters, and their accumulation over the past two years hasn't been for nothing.”

“People know that…” Shokuhou Misaki said with a bitter face.

This is actually a side effect of getting the original plot in advance. After all, in the original story, the Shokuhou faction is already the largest faction in Tokiwadai Middle School, and this position is unshakable.

As a result, Shokuhou Misaki is now aiming for the future self from the very beginning, to build the largest faction.

But in the original story, Shokuhou Misaki didn't plan to form a faction in the first year. It was only after a series of events that she formed her Shokuhou faction in the second year.

At that time, Tokiwadai Middle School's original second and third largest factions were dissolved due to the graduation and departure of their leaders, Mizukagami Nagisa and Hasekura Riri, and a considerable number of their members joined the newly established Shokuhou Misaki, which laid the foundation for her future largest faction.

But at this time, not to mention eating other people's inheritance, Shokuhou Misaki is facing those two seniors head-on!

Unlike the second-year student, Sadan Shizuri, who attracted a large number of members through charitable activities, the number of members in the Mizukagami faction and the Hasekura faction is smaller, but their loyalty and cohesion are exceptionally high.

After the expansion of the Sadan faction last year, the wavering members of these two major factions had already defected, and those who remain now are the most loyal.

Apart from Kazari Uiharu and Yumiya Iruru, as well as the students who graduated normally in the third year, no one left the Hasekura faction and the Mizukagami faction this semester.

As for the Sadan faction, due to the special charm of its leader, Sadan Shizuri, after entering the second year, its members also stabilized, and no one would easily quit.

So, the current situation has become that the Shokuhou faction has to compete with these three established factions for the limited number of first-year freshmen.

Honestly, apart from the name of Level 5, Shokuhou Misaki has no advantages. Even her superpower “Mental Out” may have the opposite effect, making people shy away.

“Sigh… so troublesome…” Shokuhou Misaki, who had a bad start, was very annoyed. “I finally understand why I didn't want to form a faction at that time…”

“Why not wait another year?” Lin Wuming suggested.

“Hmph, people won't give up!” Shokuhou Misaki said. “Since that Sadan Shizuri was able to build the largest faction in the first year, why can't people do it?”

“Well, that makes sense.” Lin Wuming nodded. “After all, school has just started.”

In this regard, Lin Wuming has more confidence than Shokuhou Misaki herself.

“Let's not talk about my affairs,” Shokuhou Misaki suddenly said. “Senior Wuming is the one who just started school and you're already on the news again.”

Turning on the TV, the evening news program was broadcasting news about the crackdown on illegal cram schools.

Lin Wuming listened carefully for a while: “They didn't mention my name at all.”

“It's obvious that Senior Wuming did this kind of thing.” Shokuhou Misaki said. “Seriously, either you stay at home and don't go out, or you get involved in all kinds of incidents all at once…”

Shokuhou Misaki sighed helplessly. She rushed out of the school dormitory to find him because she learned about Lin Wuming's actions tonight.

Shokuhou Misaki wanted to grasp first-hand information in real time.

Because she is the one who formulates the plan, any uncertain factors will interfere with her plan.

Especially things related to Lin Wuming are her main concern.

After all, in the original plot, there is no character like Lin Wuming.

…

“It's obvious that that guy did this kind of thing again, right?” Tensei Ayou showed a toothache expression.

The office computer was playing the evening news program.

“That's right,” Kiharu Numata nodded. “Although it wasn't mentioned in the report, it has been confirmed that it was Lin Wuming who destroyed that cram school.”

“He… just finished his confinement, it's only been a few days, right?” Tensei Ayou said. “He hasn't changed at all!”

“Confinement?” Kiharu Numata sneered disdainfully.

Could that be called Lin Wuming being confined? His graduation thesis is about to be published, when can confinement produce a degree certificate?

That's just the security forces protecting him, right?
