"Oh, so... huh? The first person with artificial abilities?!"

Walter's expression became strange.

Chapter 46, the behind-the-scenes direct layout

A-level ability users, the reason why they are A-level ability users is that they are good enough to fight.

More importantly, it is a process from quantitative change to qualitative change.

From the point of view of Shokuhou Misaki.

Among the artificial ability users, the pinnacle of spiritual ability users.

Among the other B-level powerful users, even those who have learned the pinnacle of spiritual system artificial ability can only affect a dozen people at most.

But for Shokuhou Misaki, under normal circumstances, the number of people that can be controlled reaches three digits.If counting the 'chess pieces' that left spiritual marks, this number may be more than ten times higher.

This is definitely a geometric improvement.

However, why is there such a big difference between A-level ability users and B-level ability users?

From the mysterious aspect, it is analyzed that it is related to the soul, because after continuously accumulating strength, the capable person will be sublimated from the inside out, just like the alchemy saying "refining muddy lead into pure gold".

For example, this is the case with the Pope of the Roman Orthodox Church. The solid strength gained through devout prayer and penance makes his soul power different from others.

On the scientific side, it is believed that it is related to the basic structure of the body.The conclusion obtained after testing dozens of A-level ability users in various aspects.

Excluding those with artificial abilities, the body structures of other A-level ability users are more or less affected by the continuous accumulation of energy.For example, the mitochondria in the muscles of A-level martial artists in the East are different from those of ordinary people.There are also anti-entropy A-level Valkyrie, who have been affected by "artificial stigmata" for a long time, and their physical strength can no longer be called "human".

But is it the body or the soul?

In fact, the mysterious side and the scientific side have been arguing for decades, but they haven't come up with an accurate answer.They can prove the loopholes in the other party's experiments, but they cannot explain all the problems with their own theories.

To put it simply, it is the feeling before the proof of the wave-particle duality of light.

Of course, maybe the legendary S-level ability user knows the truth.But S-level ability users, like urban legends, have only heard of them and never seen them.

But anyway.

Regarding the research on 'Class A ability users', the Ability User Administration has never stopped since its establishment.

And it was mentioned just now.

It seems that people with artificial abilities, no matter the mysterious side or the scientific side, seem to have never been researched.

Or a more precise statement should be given here.

As for how people with artificial abilities can be promoted to A-level, this question has never been answered.

There are two reasons. The first is that artificial ability users appeared and became the so-called 'mainstream ability users' not long ago.The second reason is that the methods of 'promotion' are completely different between artificial ability users and other ability users.

After all, there are basically only two problems that ordinary ability users need to deal with.

First, strive to increase the power capacity that you can store.

Second, master more knowledge about your own faction.

Exercise more and study harder.

But people with artificial abilities are completely different.

To put it simply, a person with artificial abilities has three elements, namely 'calculation power', 'personal reality', and 'calculation formula'.

Calculation power needless to say.

The calculation formula depends on the research status of the laboratory where the artificial ability is located.

And the last one, personal reality.

The most amazing, and also the hardest part to crack.

Space ability, fire ability, water manipulation ability, mind control, reading words...

This is like the chocolate in God's chocolate box, you never know what the next artificial ability person's ability will be developed in the same way.

Why is this so?What are the conditions that cause these deviations?

Soul, spirit, or body?

This is what the scientists of Academy City want to know most, and have invested a lot of manpower and material resources.

until one day.

The scientists who had no results met a strange girl.

Not only does she have hundreds of times the computing power of other ability users.

It can also use the power of emotional influence ability.

----------

"Yuriko Bellaceae is also an artificial ability user, you are much luckier."

He shook the test report in his hand.

With his feet on the project table, he tucked his body into the back of the huge office chair, and his long white hair fell to the ground along the gap of the chair.

The most powerful girl in Academy City bit the lollipop in her mouth.

The candy ball swayed flexibly on the tip of the tongue, and the white stick of the lollipop at the corner of the mouth was moved to the left by the tongue, then moved to the right, spit it out from time to time, and sucked it back.

At the same time her eyes are changing with the movement of the stick.

It's as if what you have in your hands is not a report, but a wonderful comedy script.

"...It's surprising, before I arranged anything, you actually came into contact with Kamijou Touma first. Is it God's will, or is it something that will inevitably happen in the course of the world?"

This is the seventh school district of Academy City, in a strange building with no windows or doors.

Although it has not been announced to the public, anyone with a little bit of strength knows that this is the office building of the chairman of Academy City.

It is said that the reason why there are no doors and windows is for safety and confidentiality.

It is said that the building can withstand a direct bombing of a nuclear bomb without damage.

It is said that the real chairman is this building, and the white-haired girl inside is just a human doll.

It is said that...

Well, just like the information about S-level ability users, there are only a lot of "rumours" about the chairman of Academy City and her weird building.

But the real situation, only the chairman himself knows.

This is actually the Tokyo branch, the only channel that can connect with the underworld.

And she is also one of the few people who can get involved with S-level ability users, but has not yet reached S-level ability.

"Yeah, next, Shokuhou Misaki and that fellow Kamijou, are you going to visit the research institute of Lily of the Bellaceae directly? You are so courageous, do you still think you have enough strength?"

The chairman laughed.

It seems to be laughing at the stupidity and overreach of these people, and it seems to be laughing at something else.

"But... Mina, command!"

"Chairman."

A Western mourning dress appeared in the air, with a translucent veil covering his face.A young beauty whose curves can be seen even through the black clothes.

Although she looked like a real person, the translucent figure immediately knew that she was just a phantom.

To be precise, she is the personal 'assistant' of the chairman of Academy City.

The real volume is about the same size as a building without windows and doors.

Then, the chairman gave an order lightly.

"Send the material given by the Honkai Will to 'Teliyan', and replace the 'Research Report on the Brain of People Using Honkai to Develop Artificial Abilities' with number TLY753951."

Chapter 47, Telly Research

As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place, the more dangerous the opportunity, the greater the reward.

But in the world of ability users, one more sentence should be added.

The bolder the guess, the closer it is to the truth.

The world of capable people is abnormal.

Kamijou's reason of 'Actually, Academy City already knew what happened to him, so he let Yuriko Suzuke come into contact with him' is not unreasonable.

And it also explained some of Shokuhou Misaki's conjectures a little bit.

The difference between her and Yuriko Suzuke is mainly whether Academy City has noticed the specialness of Kamijou Touma.

According to Shokuhou Misaki's understanding of Academy City's technology, it would be hell if he didn't find the tricks between Suzuko Yuri and Kamijou Touma.

But there were also problems.

If he knew, why didn't Academy City come to see Kamijou in the week after that?

Even if you are afraid of yourself, Ba Mami, and Walter and the like, you should send a message or something.

As the only person who can restrain Suzuko Yuriko's rampant superpower, Academy City will not be unaware of his value.

Put a long line and catch big fish?

Or really just don't know?

Or is there still a dispute among the upper echelons of Academy City?

Possibilities exist, but the possibilities are too small.

However, Kamijou's answer now gave her a new way of thinking. Academy City had long known that Kamijou could suppress Suzuko Yuriko, so it let Suzuko Yuriko go to touch Kamijou—and there was even an 'Anbu' around. No arrangement.

But conversely, the answer given by the above article actually has two doubts.

First of all, how did Academy City know in advance that Kamijou has this power?Then, why did Kamijou think of this possibility?

You know, even a person like Shokuhou, who is good at psychological logic speculation, has blind spots that he didn't expect.

Wait... Maybe Kamijou has other clues?

"Instead of making wild guesses here, it's better to come to the door and ask."

With both hands resting on the small round table, Shokuhou Misaki suggested this.

"If we discuss here, there will be countless possibilities. If you don't come to the door to obtain information in person, you will never know what the attitude of Academy City is... What's more, Suzuko, if you want to completely control Superpowers are absolutely inseparable from the help of Kamijou-san, in other words, Academy City knows the particularity of Kamijou-san's soul power, which is an inevitable result. At least in this way we will not fall into a too passive situation."

In fact, it's already getting into trouble anyway, so it's better to take the initiative to investigate the situation.

"But, what name will you go with then? Shokuhou Misaki, you should know that Teliken is the most strictly managed research institute in Academy City. The defense measures are so strict that Area 51 in the United States would be ashamed."

"It's simple, why don't you just call your professor? Just say, you want to take your friends to the research institute or something like that."

"Ah? Didn't you understand what I just said? When you were seconded from the 'Talent Workshop' to the 'Teliyan', didn't you complain that the strictness there was almost as perverted as the Administration Prison? And Still using such a random reason?"

"Yeah, that's why I'm going to try."

Shokuhou Misaki smiled.

"If the other party can agree to such a random and inconspicuous reason, the result will be obvious, won't it?"

Suzuko Yuriko took out the mobile phone wrapped in a pink girly shell from her pocket, and opened the address book that could be counted on one hand.

"Moshi Moshi, is it Professor Kihara? Well, it's me...the testing equipment, I forgot to bring it after I took a shower. Oh, I will definitely next time...and, doctor. I'm here I have a request, um... can I bring my friends to the research institute? Eh..."

After talking with Professor Kihara on the opposite side for tens of seconds, the other party gave a lot of lectures.

Ling Ke hung up the phone with complicated eyes.

"Professor Kihara heard that you and Kamijou were coming, so he happily agreed... This is unscientific."

"Look, there are benefits to being proactive."

Shokuhou Misaki smiled and spread her hands.

the next day.

It happened to be Sunday, Kamijou and Shokuhou, led by Suzuke, came to the scientific research institute called "Special Ability Research Institute", or "Telikon" for short.

It occupies a very large area, and there are three huge buildings that look like rental warehouses lined up in front of you.According to Suzuko's explanation, it is the proving ground for his own ability test. It is the same thing as the highest-level practice ground used when Kamiba Asami and Walter teamed up to qualify Kamijou for the test.It's just that Lingke's one is not only exclusive to her, it's even stronger than the one on Gao Tianyuan.

Kamijou felt a little sour, and then lamented Suzuke's aggressiveness.
