The Belgian pot made a "click" sound, and the girl raised her glass with one hand luxuriously and elegantly, signaling to the girls around her.

"It's a shame that this toy can only make that amount of coffee at a time. If any of you want to drink, you'll have to wait in line. Although once there are too many good things, they will not seem precious, who knows? ”

"Queen, is that good?"

Someone asked.

"Want to hear the truth?" The queen of Tokiwadai, the LV.5 superpower, raised an eyebrow, "I can't figure out why Kaihara likes to drink something like this." Although coffee is a lonely scholar, isn't that just a reason to stay up late to refresh yourself and give unhealthy habits a reason to look like a thing? ”

I couldn't tell if it was a complaint or something, and the Tokiwadai students, who couldn't figure out what she meant, didn't dare to answer casually.

As the leader of Tokiwadai's largest faction, Bee Eater is certainly not the kind of person to get along with. It's just that her temperament and thoughts are a little too difficult to fathom, and no one can tell what strange thoughts she will have in the next time.

It's not that she lacks common sense, nor does she have a bad personality, it's just that her thinking is too out-of-the-box. Although reversal of thinking is a common way of thinking rationally, in her case, it is subtly too rapid and untraceable, so that few people can keep up with the rhythm of her thinking.

"Alright, I'll call you over, and I've told you everything. Now, I'd like to hear your thoughts. ”

Everyone couldn't help but look at each other, they really couldn't figure out what to say.

To put it more strictly, they really couldn't understand what kind of answer the queen in front of them wanted to hear.

In fact, the news that the beeeaters told them was very shocking, but there was no subtle surprise in hearing the news. Although everyone knows what this news means and how important it is. Because everybody thinks it's a thing that will happen sooner or later, and it's a matter of course.

The Umihara Umihara Umeno-san, whom they all knew and was liked by almost everyone, was officially judged to have reached the LV.5 level. Although it has not yet been announced, Tokiwadai now has three LV.5 superpowers.

Of course, this is something that Tokiwadai students should be proud of, but the subtle point is the ranking of Kaihara-san.

Unlike everyone who thought that he would be ranked from the eighth place, it was judged that Nakakaihara's ranking was just fifth. In other words, just put the bee-eating exercise to the next one.

The result was too subtle for the students of the Tokiwadai Queen faction in attendance—yes, the word "subtle" again—to tell what mood the beeeaters were in telling them the news.

(Isn't that right...... Are you angry? ）

It's also quite possible. At least she and Mikoto Misaka, who finished third, are quite on the wrong path, and now there is another one who inserts in front of her halfway, even if she is unhappy, it is not unreasonable.

But the problem is that Beeeater and Kaihara actually have a pretty good personal relationship, which is one thing that all of them know. This makes them unable to grasp the mind of bee-eating.

At least no one dared to speak freely. As far as they know, bee-eaters are actually very bad-hearted. Coupled with her ability, it seems that it will be a very unpleasant thing to be hated by her.

"What's wrong? Why don't you speak? ”

As the apex of the spiritual ability, she certainly knew what the students here were hesitating. But knowing this, she still had to pick this out.

So the students present all turned their attention to the long-haired girl who was closer to the bee-eater, which made her have the illusion of being on her back for a while.

"If Kaihara-san's promotion, it shouldn't be unimaginable, right? It's just that it has risen directly to the fifth place...... It's a bit of a surprise. ”

Sure enough, a cunning answer.

The beeeater smiled imperceptibly.

In fact, she doesn't hate this kind of worldly cunning. The reason is precisely that she herself does not like this.

Another seemingly inexplicable reason. Just as she despises fools, yet always mocks the wise.

As the only apex of the spiritual system, she understands all good and bad intentions. But she had to show her understanding in a diametrically opposed way. Because she has her own set of logic.

So usually she is not stingy with her own mockery about this kind of cunning.

"So, do you think she should be ahead of me? From the standpoint of a friend. Say yes first, if you say bad things about your friends, I'll look down on you. ”

The long-haired girl choked suddenly, and the bee-eater slowly put down the mug, casually brushing the hair on her forehead.

"How many of you, do you remember what the ability rankings are based on? I mean LV.5. You can answer it. ”

She pointed to a classmate at random.

"Like...... Are the benefits of the application of competency research? ”

So what exactly is a benefit? If it's really the kind of interest we understand, I'm confident that I won't be inferior to anyone. For example, if you want to turn the stock market and futures market upside down, even if it is just a fraction of the benefits measured in money, it is a world of difference. It takes some means, but it's not something I can't do. ”

She understated a terrible thing.

If you think about it, that's true. If the interests here are only economic interests, then the most critical component of the economy should naturally be human beings. Why don't beeeaters, who have the ability to manipulate humans, have a high ranking?

What exactly is the interest mentioned here? Isn't that peculiar?

Just listen to the bee-eater say:

"The benefits generated by the so-called application are not simply measured in monetary terms. In terms of the highest interests of mankind, the results that can be brought about in the foreseeable distant future are the most central interests. If anything, since the 17th century, humanity has had only one core interest. ”

She took a piece of paper out of her bag and scribbled a few words on it.

"Come, read."

The long-haired girl took the note, and wrote it from top to bottom:

Unmetaactive matter

Super Electromagnetic Cannon

Atoms collapse

In the fourth position, she playfully drew a heart-shaped marker.

The long-haired girl looked at her puzzled.

"Didn't get it, did it?"

Bee Eater retrieved the note from her hand and added a few more words after each item. The contents of the note became:

Unmetaactive matter: Strong_interaction

Super Electromagnetic Cannon: Electromagnetic_force

Atomic Collapse: Weak_Interaction

?：Gravitation

"Do you understand?"

In this way, if there are still people who don't understand it, then it is impossible to become a student of Tokiwadai at all.

What the bee-eaters have written is precisely the order of the intensity of the four most basic interacting forces in nature. And it's very subtle that this ranking happens to be exactly the same as the second to fifth places in the school city LV.5.

"This ranking is based on the four most basic forces in nature, and that's where the key lies. They share a common name because they are all part of the 'Four Forces'. In the foreseeable future, this is the highest interest of humanity, which is the knowledge of the laws of physics. So at the very least, the order of the four of them is certain and unshakable. ”

At this time, although it is only circulated among a few people. But it won't be long before the title of "Four Forces" spreads throughout the school city.

"Queen, do you mean to say ......"

"It's a celebration to be, don't you think?"

"Huh?"

There was no warning of this sentence, so that none of the classmates who were speculating about her original intention could react.

In fact, there are very few people who can really understand her. If human actions have an obvious purpose, then it is likely that the purpose of doing something is justified by some reason that is not logically contradictory. For example—

She's bored.

_

"Let's put aside the celebration for a while."

At this time, a man's voice was heard unexpectedly.

Unlike other Tokiwadai students, the Bee-Eater faction is unusually careful about overhearing their discussions. And rightfully so, since two-thirds of Tokiwadai's most important academic achievements came from the bee-eating faction.

So before the bee eater could speak, several people stood up.

If you evaluate the actual combat ability of these people, I am afraid that the coffee shop owner will regret that he did not buy a high amount of insurance. Because any one of them has the ability to easily wipe out this coffee shop.

But that didn't happen.

In this clip, the person is completely still. The flow of time seems to bypass the existence of the "human", and only solidifies the words, deeds and behaviors of the characters in the chaos.

"Really, I don't know if it's annoying to change your memory?"

The girl played with the controller in her hand and crossed her legs uselessly. In the absence of others to see it, she is too lazy to pretend to be dignified and elegant. She feels that she is different from Haiyuan, and for her, temperament is just a tool to maintain her image, not her own cultivation.

"If that's what you think, you should be more careful about where you choose."

"It's ~ not ~ wanted. That's just too much trouble. She said in a very impatient tone, "How's that going on with your investigation?" ”

"A bit of a small hassle. From what I've learned, it looks like rats from outside have come in. ”

"Really, when did the school city become so defenseless?"

"No, it seems to be a little different this time. Although the channel is not too clear.,But it's said that the other party is a partner in the former school city.,It seems to know more about the methods here.。 ”

"It turned out that I got rid of it? What a bunch of idiots. She didn't say anything polite, but she sat upright. Apparently not as indifferent as she verbally.

"Want to investigate more?"

"No need." She thought for a moment, "If it was once an opponent of your own people, it would be more dangerous, don't contact them directly." There should be a processing force that will fight them first, and we should try to get information from the processing force as much as possible. ”

"There's one thing I don't understand. With your abilities, is there a way to get information directly? ”

The beeeater pursed his lips and placed the mug back on the table. Very hard, it seems that the question is not too pleasant for her.

"There are two limitations to the ability of the spiritual department, do you know what they are?" Without waiting for the man to answer, she continued herself, "The first is directionality. The role of the ability of the psychic is not regionalized, but must have a definite object. I can control a large number of people, but instead of 'controlling people in an area', I can capture all people in range. In other words, in terms of number of people rather than in range. The advantage is that as long as it is confirmed and within the number of catches, it can be controlled regardless of the area. The disadvantage is that if you can't identify the object, the ability won't be effective. I don't really understand the principle here, but if you want to know the principle, you can ask Kaihara and Hoshikawa from our school, and they seem to know why. (Note: So Bee Eater was caught by the water drop camera in the comics but couldn't do anything about it, because she couldn't capture the photographer)

"So there is still such a restriction? What is the other limitation? ”

"The second is distance. No psychic ability can use the ability at any distance. It's easy to imagine this limitation. If it weren't for this restriction, the entire human society would have been in my hands a long time ago. If such a possibility exists, it is impossible for the apex of a psychiatric ability to be limited by the position of LV.5 alone. ”

She actually recounted such a terrible thing in a tone that seemed to say, "What are you going to have for dinner today?"

"It's funny. In this way, mental induction in reality is not as simple as it is in science fiction......"

"If two psychic beings can communicate regardless of distance, then I can be sure of at least one thing."

Beeeater pointed to a student in front of him who was a year older than her. It was another psychic powerhouse in her faction, who had a certain level of leadership, although his ability level was not high. In her faction, she is considered a relatively rare talent.

"At least one of them must not be a true spiritual ability."

She was able to assert so.
