Chapter 11

(Out tomorrow due to some matters, updating early)

On June 17th, today is a routine physical examination in the Academy City. Although it's called a physical examination, it's actually a test of ESP levels. For most high school students, their abilities have already stabilized, and there's no possibility of upgrading. For them, today is just a formality.

For a certain middle school, however, this day is a bit different from usual. It's worth noting that the highest level ability holder in this school is only Level 3. For such an "ordinary" school, the examiners usually just go through the motions and quickly finish the tests, as it's rare for high school students to continue to increase their ability levels. But today's test is a bit different.

"Shirai Tsukuyomi, ice creation, ability range Level 3, attack intensity Level 4, operation precision Level 5, overall ability Level 4."

As the examiner reported, everyone on the playground was stunned. Everyone basically knew who Shirai Tsukuyomi was, after all, he was a disciplinary committee member and a Level 3 ability holder, a very famous person. Of course, he is now Level 4 and will soon be registered in the [Library].

"The range of ice creation has expanded, reaching up to five meters around the body, and the ice can be manipulated to a certain extent."

This was the result of the discussion between Shirai Tsukuyomi and Aleister three months ago. First, he would become Level 4 in this physical examination, giving everyone a buffer time. The next physical examination would be when Shirai Tsukuyomi becomes Level 5, further promoting the Academy City.

"Hey, Tsukuyomi, when did you become Level 4? You didn't even tell us!" Tsuchimikado Motoharu hooked his arm around Shirai Tsukuyomi's neck and questioned him.

"Cut the crap, I'll treat you tonight, you can choose the restaurant." Shirai Tsukuyomi, who knew what kind of person Tsuchimikado was, directly set his limit.

"Everyone, Shirai Tsukuyomi is treating the whole class to hot pot tonight!"

"Hey, when did I say the whole class!" Shirai Tsukuyomi looked at Tsuchimikado Motoharu in shock, not expecting to be tricked like this.

"Really!?" Kamijou Touma also joined in, for the unfortunate Kamijou Touma, such an opportunity to freeload was absolutely not to be missed. "That's great! Thank you so much!"

"Yeah, yeah, we should celebrate properly! Shirai is so generous!"

Shirai Tsukuyomi helplessly looked at Kamijou Touma's excited face and the expectant eyes of the others, and could only sigh. "Alright, the whole class, I'll treat you!"

"Yay!!" The class erupted in cheers.

Just as the students were ordering food in the hot pot restaurant, Shirai Tsukuyomi received a call from his girlfriend, Saten Ruiko.

Stepping out of the restaurant, Shirai Tsukuyomi opened his phone and heard Saten Ruiko's voice: "Tsukuyomi! I've leveled up, I'm already a Level 3 ability holder!" Saten Ruiko's voice was very excited, after all, she had been a powerless person for years since entering school, and now she was a Level 3 ability holder, the change was indeed exhilarating.

"Really? Congratulations. By the way, I have some good news too, my level has also increased, I'm now Level 4." Shirai Tsukuyomi was also very happy about his girlfriend's improved strength, after all, in this world, having one's own power is very important. If Saten Ruiko had ESP a few months ago, she wouldn't have needed to be rescued. Because he was happy, Shirai Tsukuyomi also shared his own situation in advance.

"Really! We must celebrate today." Hearing Shirai Tsukuyomi's words, Saten Ruiko was also very happy. Both of them leveling up at the same time, they wanted to celebrate properly. "Buy some beer on your way back, I'll make you the beer duck you like."

Shirai Tsukuyomi couldn't help but smile bitterly. "Although I really want to eat it, I don't think it's possible. Our class is celebrating my level-up, and we're still at the hot pot restaurant. I won't be back for dinner tonight. So, Ruiko, will you... come with me?" They had been officially dating for four months, and Shirai Tsukuyomi had a plan, it was time to introduce Saten Ruiko to his friends.

"Um, maybe not," Saten Ruiko's voice became low, "I... I'm still a bit nervous. Come back early tonight, I'll wait for you."

"Okay, I'll come back early." Hanging up the phone, Shirai Tsukuyomi returned to the restaurant and joined the celebration.

Two hours later, everyone dispersed and went home. Since Shirai Tsukuyomi and Kamijou Touma were on the same route, they went back together.

On the way, they saw this scene.

A group of delinquents were surrounding a girl who looked like a junior high school student, clearly a case of harassment. As soon as Kamijou Touma saw this, he couldn't contain his impulse and was about to go help the girl. However, unexpectedly, Shirai Tsukuyomi stopped Kamijou Touma from going forward. When Kamijou Touma looked at Shirai Tsukuyomi in confusion, he saw Shirai Tsukuyomi take out the disciplinary committee badge and understood. Yes, maintaining order is the job of the disciplinary committee, isn't it?

Putting on the badge, Shirai Tsukuyomi slowly walked forward.

The girl surrounded by the delinquents is named Misaka Mikoto. She was wearing the uniform of Tokiwadai, one of the top five schools in Academy City. If Shirai Tsukuyomi's sister were here, she would probably recognize her. After all, this is Academy City! In other places, delinquents are, in a certain sense, a disadvantaged group.
