A Scientific Urban Detective

“I plan to use this money to establish a special scholarship,” Lin Wuming said, after accepting the gold, looking towards Misawa Cram School. “To distribute to the students here, as compensation for them.”

Even though these students will eventually get through this incident “safely and soundly,” and might not even realize what happened.

But undeniably, they are the victims of this incident.

This is also the only compensation Lin Wuming can offer them.

If he really wanted to carry out justice, he should immediately expel Aureolus, punish him, and give all the victims justice, instead of engaging in a “fair trade” with him here.

“I think,” Misaki Shokuhou walked forward, “if they really had a choice, they would probably choose the special scholarship.”

– Senior Wuming is just thinking too much and too complicatedly.

Aureolus returned to Misawa Cram School with Substitute No. 2: “Don't worry, I will only stay for a maximum of three more days, and then I will leave on my own.”

With that said, the gates of Misawa Cram School slammed shut, locking everyone else outside.

Because he was wary of Lin Wuming and Mikoto Misaka's abilities, Aureolus had no intention of inviting them in. He would rather risk leaving Misawa Cram School and meet them outside in person.

Similarly, although he was thinking of going in for a visit, Lin Wuming was ultimately worried about the power of the "Golden Great Derivation Technique," so he had no intention of setting foot in Misawa Cram School again.

“What a pity…” Looking at the closed building, Lin Wuming finally sighed.

– If Aureolus was willing to cooperate, this would really be the perfect place for me to practice and familiarize myself with my new abilities.

However, regardless of the crisis of trust between myself and Aureolus, if I really used Misawa Cram School as a training ground, wouldn't I also be exploiting those innocent students?

“Forget it, let’s go back.” Lin Wuming shook his head, shook off distracting thoughts, and said, “Let’s find a way to dispose of this gold first.”

As he spoke, Lin Wuming took out his phone and summoned his accounting secretary, Yun Chuan Ju Li.

Half a ton of gold is a huge sum of money, but for a "Director," it is not a particularly alarming number.

Even if Aureolus paid with real gold, even if he brought magically created "fake gold," a "Director" would have the ability to sell it off and turn it into cash before it reverted to its original form.

With the help of professionals, it wouldn't be a problem to turn this gold into 10 billion yen.

Touma Kamijou pressed on his phone for a while, roughly calculating the value of this gold, and immediately gasped.

– Not to mention owning it, I probably won't even be able to see such a pile of money in my entire life, right?

Thinking of this, Touma Kamijou quickly stared at the gold a few more times.

Only at this time did he have to lament that Lin Wuming and himself were completely from two different worlds!

“Finders keepers,” Lin Wuming looked at Touma Kamijou and Stiyl with a smile, “How about I share some with you?”

“Forget it, I’m not short of money.” Stiyl refused without hesitation. He could not take money from Lin Wuming, whether publicly or privately.

Touma Kamijou was very tempted, but immediately shook his head and refused: “Although I really want it, I doubt I can keep such a huge sum of money…”

Rather than losing it for various reasons in his own hands, it was better not to touch the money from the beginning.

Touma Kamijou realized one thing - letting Lin Wuming help him keep the money was the best way.

At least, he wouldn't feel pressured when he went to Lin Wuming to borrow money or freeload meals in the future.

“By the way, Mr. Lin Wuming.” Stiyl walked forward with the silent girl, “Miss Kanzaki Kaori is entrusted to you.”

“Ah?”

“Also, please sign this document for me.” Stiyl took out another document from his pocket, “My task is considered complete.”

Because he thought that Lin Wuming in front of him was also a Director, Stiyl suddenly realized that he didn't need to go to Chairman Aleister to hand over the task.

Stiyl's nominal task for this trip was to "cooperate with Academy City to rescue the girl imprisoned by the magician."

Now that the hostage, Kanzaki Kaori, has been successfully rescued, Stiyl's task is theoretically complete.

Stiyl planned to spend more time with Index, so naturally he was unwilling to deal with Chairman Aleister again.

Moreover, there was no problem with his operation in terms of procedure.

“So…” Mikoto Misaka frowned and looked at the long-haired Shrine Maiden, while whispering in Lin Wuming's ear, “What does Senior Wuming plan to do next?”

“What to do…” Lin Wuming also looked at Kanzaki Kaori, “What are your plans for the future? Continue to return to Kirigaoka Girls' Academy?”

That's right, despite having many connections with "magic," Kanzaki Kaori is actually a registered student of Academy City, and her "Vampire Killer" is also judged to be a rare original stone ability.

Therefore, she was able to be recruited by Kirigaoka Girls' Academy.

“No.” Kanzaki Kaori shook her head, “Anyway, I’m just a nominal student. I haven’t really attended classes there.”

“So, you want to transfer schools?” Lin Wuming was not surprised. After all, in the original plot, Kanzaki Kaori transferred from Kirigaoka Girls' Academy to a certain high school.

The most \\u22a5 new \\u22a5 novel \\u22a5 is \\u22a5 first \\u22a5 published \\u22a5 at \\u22a5 six \\u22a5 9 \\u22a5 \\u22a5 book \\u22a5 \\u22a5 bar \\u22a5 \\u22a5!

“Her ‘Vampire Killer’ is actually a superpower?” Mikoto Misaka said in surprise, “I just don’t know what level it is. If it reaches level 3…”

Then she could find a way to enter Tokiwadai Middle School.

“Unfortunately, it’s level 0.” Kanzaki Kaori said, “Because there is no reaction phenomenon at all.”

Unless a vampire really comes to her door, Kanzaki Kaori is just an ordinary girl.

“What a pity…” Mikoto Misaka sighed.

“Misaka, when did you become so enthusiastic?” Misaki Shokuhou looked over in surprise.

She didn't know why, but Mikoto Misaka seemed very eager to have Kanzaki Kaori come to Tokiwadai Middle School.

– In the original work, they don't seem to have any special interaction, right?

“I’m sorry, it seems I’m not suitable for that kind of noble young lady school. And I’m already a high school student.” Kanzaki Kaori tilted her head and said, “If possible, I would like to go to a certain high school.”

The Shrine Maiden blinked her eyes and looked at Lin Wuming: “It seems like it would be very interesting.”

“…” Mikoto Misaka sighed heavily, “I knew it, I expected it…”

Mikoto Misaka had already noticed – Senior Wuming knew this Kanzaki Kaori, at least they weren't complete strangers.

Although Senior Wuming “hid” it very well, as long as you paid attention, it was not difficult to find that he cared about Kanzaki Kaori quite a bit.

After seeing the real person, Mikoto Misaka felt even more threatened.

There was no doubt that Kanzaki Kaori was a beautiful girl.

Although she always looked sleepy and a little listless, a beautiful girl is still a beautiful girl.

Moreover, the Shrine Maiden's outfit on her was a bonus, making her look like she came straight out of a manga.

Now, this Shrine Maiden is going to become Senior Wuming’s classmate…
