"The signs are generally stable, but the ...... just now"

Shirai carefully laid Harugami's head flat, and she looked at Dono with a puzzled gaze.

Here, the only person who can explain the incredible phenomenon just now is Doshino, who is a friend of Harumami. There should be no second candidate other than her.

But Dome shook her head, she couldn't explain what she had just seen.

"I don't know. I didn't have that kind of ability in the past......"

In the most essential sense, superpowers are not complicated. No matter how complex they may be, they must be simple in nature. Because they come from the most basic physical laws that make up the world. And God, his old man is fond of simplicity. In fact, there is even a rather interesting trend towards superpowers, which tend to be the simpler they are, the more powerful they are.

In the case of the three LV.5s that Shirai knows, at least two of them have extremely simple abilities. It's even so simple that you're in contact with it all the time, but you're so used to it that you don't even realize it's there.

But what Harugami did just now seemed to run counter to this law.

Any ability is a physical phenomenon, and what Harukami did just now doesn't seem to be a physical manifestation at all.

Wonderful, can only be described in this word.

"In short, it's not normal. Not on a physical level...... So, is it okay to use a simple sedative for a while? ”

Shirai thought for a moment and asked cautiously.

In the school city,Sedative drugs are more commonly used because of the need for suppressive ability.,Even the members of the Discipline Committee,It's often equipped with some in case of emergency.。 Although the sedatives in the school city are relatively the safest, according to the regulations, sedatives can only be used when necessary.

There are certain criteria for judging "necessary", and in principle, Harugami, who is in a state of loss of consciousness at this time, is not within the scope of the standard. It's just that......

Shirai carefully watched for Qiongno's reaction.

There are some drug reactions that subconsciously induce abilities without the person being conscious, which are rare but not unprecedented. In the physical examination just now, Harugami did have some manifestations that suspected drug reactions. With this in mind, it is actually possible to include Harugami in the category of "necessary".

But there is no way to say this to the dome, at least not now.

It's not just because of Harukami's weird drug reaction, but behind it, Shirai begins to wonder about an inexplicable possibility.

The abilities that Harugami showed just now cannot be categorized in an easily understandable way.

It doesn't seem like much to worry about, the question is the timing.

Sister Gufa relayed her guess over the phone before, and the performance she just saw......

As a result of briefly "moving" to a high place at the time of the earthquake, she saw more or less details that no one else noticed.

The seismic intensity is very strong, but the area is unusually narrow. In this small range, there is no trace of people using their abilities. Apart from......

Although it is not good to be suspicious of others, it is very subtle and somewhat uncanny, and in the very brief moment of the crowd commotion, there is indeed one person who seems too calm. And then when the anomaly happens, only her actions are the most timely.

(Artificial interference with the AIM diffusion force field?) ）

No, it shouldn't be thought of that way. Subjectively judging malicious behavior is not what law enforcers should do.

(Conversely, human behavior has caused some unstable changes in the AIM diffusion field?) The conclusion is...... Hell, I'm not Kaihara-san. ）

If you ask Kaihara-san for some of the things you guessed, you might be able to know something you don't understand. But......

(Now is not the time to think about these things.) ）

"That...... Shirai-san? ”

Did you inadvertently look at her for too long? I thought she wasn't such a sharp girl......

The gaze shifted slightly downwards.

"Reach over here...... No, until then—"

Shirai stood up and reached out to grab Qiongno's yukata. With the sound of metal falling to the ground three times in succession, the three straight alloys smashed straight to the ground.

"Well, it might hurt a little."

Shirai grabbed Dono's upper arm with one hand, and gently held up Dono's wrist with the other.

"Shirai-san? Would you still be like this? ”

"Don't underestimate the members of the Discipline Committee, Kaiyuan-san. This kind of training we have received is a level higher than that of the useless American grassroots doctors. (Note 1:)

"Uh-huh!"

"Alright. Can you move? ”

"Like...... There is no problem with the look. ”

"That's good. You wait here while I take care of the wounded. ”

"Wait a minute! I can help too! ”

"Not allowed." Shirai took a deep breath and refused without hesitation. "You can't help with that. You've also said before that it's better for laymen not to get involved in the field of experts, right? Don't learn from your sister in such a useless place. And ......"

Shirai raised his head slightly.

"Are you going to use the ability just now?"

Maybe others won't notice, but Shirai, who is essentially the same type of ability as Dome Nai, can guess more or less even from experience.

"Sorry, I was distracted by the unexpected situation and didn't catch up with ......"

"I'm not talking about that. It was just an emergency, and I don't want to say anything at this point. But aren't you supposed to use your abilities now? ”

"That's ......"

A little accusatory. After getting along for a while, Shirai was able to grasp the character of the first honor student of Tokiwadai in front of him. Although he has his own opinions, he respects the opinions of others more than anyone else, and is willing to follow the advice of others. So if you feel more reasonable, it's more effective to just use something heavier.

Sometimes, even Shirai wonders if she's a little too passive.

Suddenly, an idea moved in his mind, and Shirai lowered his voice and whispered, and reached out to flick the corner of Dome Nai's clothes.

"Besides, the clothes are loose, right? Umihara-san. ”

"Huh?!"

Dome blushed and pressed down on her clothes.

It's true that the sensor bandage worn inside is overloaded and straightened, and the outside yukata is pulled loose. In this case, if you move a little more, you will feel that the yukata will slip off.

Looking at her panicked appearance, there was an unexpected little pleasant feeling. It's a subtle sense of pleasure that makes you involuntarily bend the corners of your mouth when you look at it.

But now is not the time to care about such things.

"Anyway, Kaihara-san, you just take care of Harugami here, and leave the rest to us. Spring! Did the call go? ”

Shirai looked up and shouted towards the location of Hatsuharu on the upper floor.

"No! I don't know why no one picked up! ”

"No one answered?"

She frowned and pulled out her phone.

If it can't be connected, it may be that the repeater station was damaged in the earthquake. But what's going on with no one taking it?

The signal is not exhausted, and the mobile network is also available......

"Huh?"

(Time correction, five minutes?) ）

The network time synchronization function on mobile phones is not new, but due to the need for synchronization instructions, the communication tools of the Discipline Inspectors are uniformly provided by the headquarters of the Discipline Inspectors to provide instant corrections. Just now, Shirai's mobile phone was pushed back by 5 minutes in the instant correction.

If it's used as a time synchronization correction, 5 minutes seems a bit too long. Could it be that something is going on at headquarters?

Uneasy conjectures came to mind for a moment, and then Hatsuharu suddenly shouted.

"Shirai-san! Connected! ”

Hearing this, Shirai finally breathed a sigh of relief.

If nothing happens, it's easy to say anything. The time correction is only a small problem, and it is better to ask the headquarters afterwards.

Shirai slipped his phone back into his pocket and teleported onto the platform held in place by oddly shaped pillars.

Because of the chaos that had just happened, she thought it would be even more disorderly, so she even prepared a warning starting pistol. But as a result, the crowd on that platform even consciously cleared a space for the injured person to lie down.

Judging from the results of her vision, there are many injured, and it seems that there are also people with broken bones. But there is a danger to life, and it is obviously not there.

(Really, I can finally rest assured.) ）

The heart that had been hanging from just now can finally be put down. Shirai looked around and began to count the number of wounded.

(If you don't count the minor injuries, about 14 people?) …… A little bit more than expected. ）

This number exceeds the number of direct rescues by a rescue helicopter and is a bit troublesome.

The injured were transported to the upper floors by teleportation, and if the road had not been damaged in the earthquake, perhaps an ambulance would have been able to pass.

(Who am I lying to?) ）

Shirai couldn't help but smile bitterly. How could it not damage the road with the magnitude of the earthquake just now? In short, take one step at a time, and withdraw the injured from the crowded platform first.

Her ability to move at one time was limited, and since she was carrying the wounded, it was better to work alone for the sake of caution, which was somewhat of a struggle.

(In the future, let Kaihara-san teach me how to fly.) ）

Considering that the two are of the same type of ability, it should be theoretically possible, right?

- The gaze was skewed.

(This, this?) ）

At first, I thought it was an aftershock, or some kind of sensory disturbance caused by an earthquake. But it soon became clear that this was not the case at all.

The same sense of disobedience, she had felt. And it was definitely not an experience to remember.

It was at her side that was holding her arm, and it was one of the most special classmates to her.

Hoshikawa ...... No ......"

Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Shirai recited the sense of disobedience he had experienced.

Right in front of her, the girl, who was obviously a year older than her but even smaller than her, stretched out her index finger lightly and shook her head slightly.

===================================================

Note: Don't think that Shannon's repeated warning of "careful use of information" is only a domain for scientific research, when in fact it is relevant to each of us. For example, the "American grassroots doctors" mentioned here have now become a meme. It refers to a paradox that has emerged in the medical field in the United States: the paradox of inclination.

Specifically, under the premise that the United States has access to better resources for high-end medical care and the cost of medical care is getting higher and higher, basic medical care has fallen into a bizarre dilemma. It is no exaggeration to say that in today's United States, where the standard of medical care is so high, a considerable number of grassroots doctors are quite problematic even with dislocation reduction techniques. Even if it is said that in the case of abundant medical resources, it has caused a regression in primary medical care.

The reason for the tilt of the medical field is not just a sentence that can be explained. This may have something to do with the misuse of information that Claude Shannon has repeatedly warned. An interesting Google statistic (which predicts the likelihood of a particular disease outbreak based on the probability of a search term) may lead to an indirect conclusion that primary care is not linearly correlated with high-end care, and may even contradict each other. The key to this is that the lower levels of the "information circle," including the health care system, are increasingly occupied by useless information as information is shared (anyone familiar with American health care should have experienced the tediousness of primary care and the annoyance of meaningless redundancies). In other words, it cannot be ruled out that the universal value of resources (including information) may only be held at the top.

There are many things that we tend to habitually and even take for granted that there should be something to prevent something from happening. But this example seems to prove that, in fact, it is probably not.

Incidentally, there is an interesting corollary: when the size of the resources at hand (including information resources) increases by 15 per cent, the consumption required to maintain them increases by 50 per cent. This inference is currently quite consistent in the fields of urban construction, enterprise scale, and so on. On the mind, this is a rather disturbing inference. Although it has not really been confirmed with rigorous mathematics at the moment.
