The ideas first put forward by Hilbert could provide a proper basis for the quantum theory of physics, without the need to introduce new mathematical ideas into these physical theories. – Johann von Neumann (The Mathematical Foundations of Quantum Mechanics)

Tokiwadai Junior High School's lunch break is longer than that of other schools, and it is said that it has been scientifically calculated that the extension of the lunch break will allow students to maintain sufficient concentration during the afternoon lessons, and this is one of the few times when students can have complete freedom.

Generally speaking, students choose to relax during this time to relieve fatigue. It's no surprise that Tokiwadai's classes aren't something that anyone can keep up with. It's impossible to keep up with your studies without putting in enough effort. In this way, the fatigue accumulated for the same amount of time spent studying at Tokiwadai is actually much greater than the same amount of time spent studying at a regular school. In fact, this is the reason why Tokiwadai's lunch break is longer than that of other schools.

It doesn't make the nerves too tense or let people slack off, which is the unique atmosphere that Tokiwadai always maintains. In order to maintain this atmosphere, Tokiwadai has made a full scientific calculation for the lunch break.

Although outsiders often accuse Tokiwadai of being too rigid, for Tokiwadai students, this rigor that is not influenced by the world is precisely the embodiment of their non-mundane work.

However, this is not visible at all from the Tokiwadai schoolgirls who are now quietly hiding behind the decorative green belt.

"Get out of the way, you're in my way."

"Don't squeeze, I'm about to be crushed by you!"

"Anyway, you don't have anything that can be crushed and deformed, so you don't have to care about such a senseless thing."

"Are you begging for a beating?"

"You all give me peace! It would be bad if it was discovered! ”

It's ridiculous to say that this group of girls is completely different from the identity of the Tokiwadai student lady.,It's just for voyeurism.。

The object of their peeping is not a handsome boy or an idol star, but two Tokiwadai students like them, and two long-haired girls sitting at the tea table enjoying afternoon tea.

This may seem nonsensical, but if you know a little about Tokiwadai, you won't think it's a strange thing.

Because, these two students are quite famous figures even in Tokiwadai Junior High School.

One of them,It's the pinnacle of the spiritual ability of the school city.,One of the two LV.5 in Tokiwadai,"Psychological mastery" bee-eating exercise.。 And the other is the granddaughter of the chairman of Tokiwadai, a girl who is longed for like an idol in Tokiwadai, Umihara Qiongno.

"Ahh It's a beautiful picture! Bee-eater! Kaihara-sama! ”

"Hey, don't you have a seizure at this time! But...... It's really beautiful for them to sit together......"

"Be quiet! Give me quiet! How many times have I said it! ”

The bee-eater tilted his head helplessly.

"Look, Kaihara-san, I knew it would be like this."

Dome could only smile bitterly at this.

Sometimes, this is the case in girls' schools. No matter how strict it is, there will always be such a thing. At best, girls always have some romantic complexes that are difficult to contain; It's hard to hear...... Well, nymphomaniac tendencies.

This is something that Dome never thought of before entering the school. Although it was an innocuous little problem, she still felt a little awkward.

"Bee-eater, we're not here to talk about this, are we?"

"That's right, I've been waiting for your answer, Kaihara-san."

"Please refuse this."

Gently put the black teacup back, Dome said seriously.

Although the language of the request was used, there was clearly no element of negotiation in it.

Her words were so categorical that the bee-eater Cao Qi did not expect it at all. Because judging from her daily performance, she really doesn't look like someone who would say no so bluntly.

"Don't really think about it?"

"Bee-eater, with your ability, don't you know what I'm thinking?"

Qiong Nai suddenly asked rhetorically.

It's also a very strange thing. As the pinnacle of the spiritual ability, the bee-eating exercise should be a no-brainer for her. Why do you have to ask so repeatedly?

"I just want to hear from you."

The bee-eater laughed and turned the ends of his hair with his fingers.

"Bee-eater, anyone can join your faction. It's their freedom, and it's your freedom. But I can't. Dome said lightly, "Have you thought about it?" What will happen if the granddaughter of the chairman of Tokiwadai joins the largest faction of Tokiwadai? ”

"That would be good for our faction, I'm not going to deny that. What's wrong? ”

"But it's not good for Tokiwadai, bee-eater." The dome smiled shallowly, without much of a smile. Even if it's just a polite smile, it's beautiful. "Then you have the basis to break the rules."

"Hmm......"

Bee Eater frowned. When you think about it, it is.

"Bee-eater, Tokiwadai's long-standing system, including allowing student factions to exist, is just to provide them with motivation to move forward. In fact, in the most ideal state, there is no need for factions to exist. It's just that we can't do the best, so we have to retreat and artificially create this demand, so that the demand can become the driving force to move us forward. Just as competition between different factions in our school is an important reason to stay motivated, it's just a necessity. This is just a reality of our temporary powerlessness, not our goal. Therefore, the rules that keep reality from derailing are of paramount importance. I understand your thoughts very well, and from your position, you naturally want to fight for the greater good of your faction. There's nothing wrong with that. Just keep in mind that we are also Tokiwadai students, and I can't let anything happen that might break the rules of Tokiwata. So, I had to refuse. Sorry, bee-eater. ”

Dome slowed down, and whispered in a soothing voice the reason for her refusal. To be honest, it doesn't look like a middle school student her age can say it at all. So even the bee-eating Cao Qi was stunned for a while.

Although she also expected that Dome might refuse, she definitely didn't expect it to be in such a way, which made her not know what to say. Finally, she shook her head helplessly.

"Really, is this sociological and economic theory? I thought you were just good at science. ”

"No, my father said it, and I just obeyed it."

"Well, you don't need to explain this to me."

The bee-eater looked at her. The girl in front of her really intrigued her. From the first day the two met, they were full of interest.

This is not only because the other party has amazing beauty and intelligence that ordinary people can't touch, but more importantly, this girl is the only weird thing she has ever seen in her life.

In fact, when she first met her, the bee-eater Cao Qi used his abilities on her. As a result, she was taken by surprise.

The ability to read minds works, but what you hear is a chaotic murmur that is completely unreadable. Mental manipulation can also affect her, but the time she is affected is always much slower. It's easy to understand if it's completely ineffective like Mikoto Misaka.,But it's as special as the dome in front of you.,So far, she's the only one.。

"Anyway, that's it. I'm so sorry, bee-eater. ”

Dome stood up from her chair and bowed to the bee-eater quite politely. Anyone can see that it is an absolutely sincere apology.

"It doesn't matter, it won't affect anything, we'll still welcome you at any time. By the way......" Bee Eater prayed as he turned to the green belt, "when the hell are you going to peek?" ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard a chaotic sound, and in a rush of chaos, several girls scattered in a hurry.

Dome rubbed her temples with her fingers, although she was used to this kind of thing, but it was too speechless to do it every time.

Seriously, Dome is also a little speechless about the Bee Eater's Prayer for this LV.5.

They can be said to be very fateful, and the first classmate they saw when they entered the school was each other. Moreover, the relationship with each other is not bad. However, Qiongno discovered one thing early on, and that was that although he was well pretended to be outside, the leader of the largest faction in Tokiwadai actually had a rather bad personality.

Of course, it's not a big deal, but Dome is actually reluctant to deal with each other too much at first. The reason for this is deeper, and that is the ability of bee-eaters to pray.

A person with a LV.5 psychic ability can do all the relevant abilities single-handedly, which can be said to be quite terrifying.

This is actually a complicated thing for Dome Nai. On the one hand, perhaps the ability to eat bees can answer the memory questions that she has been perturbating about. But on the other hand, it also means that these secrets of oneself will be known by the other party.

This naturally made Dome hesitate.

But this ambivalence did not last long. Because she soon discovered, through some small temptations, that the bee-eating caustic prayer seemed to have no way to read her memories and inner thoughts. The reason for this is still unknown. The beeeaters couldn't figure it out, and the dome didn't know why either.

The so-called desire to hear her say such things in person is just some excuse for bee-eating exercises.

For Dome Nai, this made her feel both regretful and a little relieved.

Of course, for this, the dome has no idea of debunking. After all, that's where an LV.5 comes in pride.

In short, the relationship between them can only be described as "delicate" for such and such complex reasons.

"Well, then, I'm going to take my leave."

Dome bowed softly to the Tokiwadai queen again.

Even in Tokiwadai, which is known as the school of the eldest lady, she is the only one who adheres to etiquette so well.

After praying goodbye to the bee-eater, Dome returned to his bedroom. Unlike other students, today's class is over for her. Because the afternoon classes were all exempt subjects for her.

According to her own intentions, she actually has no idea of applying for exemption from courses. The reason why this is the case is also quite funny to say.

It was a small incident that happened before a physics class, when Dome was on his way to the teacher's office and overheard the teacher complaining about a very difficult subject. Back in the classroom, Dome gave a lecture in her seat, a rarity for her who had always been an honor student. Just after class, the teacher called Dome to the office and was about to ask her what was wrong, but Dome told the teacher the solution to the problem.

The whole process is just listening to the topic and thinking about it for a lesson.

The expressions of all the teachers present at that time were really wonderful.

Kulkov, one of Tokiwadai's most famous scholars and an authority on gravitational theory, said this:

"Some people spend a lifetime getting to places, others are born there."

Several teachers who were so depressed by Qiong Nai that they applied for exemption on the same day, and only God knows how many ostrich tactics there are in it.

This incident is also a famous joke in Tokiwadai.

Lying on his bed, Dono pulled out his phone and looked at the message that Kaoru Tachiki, the photographer of the fashion magazine, had sent to him a few days ago. This was arranged a long time ago, and since I didn't have a class today, I had to take a few sets of photos as a model in the afternoon as material for magazines.

Dome turned the page up and down repeatedly, but in fact, nothing was seen at all.

It's been more than a year, and even if this method is used, there is still no clue that Harugami and Zhixian are stumbling together.

Where are they now? Every time I think of this, I can't help but feel a little depressed.

Putting down the phone, Qiongno turned to his side and turned himself into a sideways position. Her eyes were just able to see the bed opposite her roommate Hoshikawa.

There is still no sign of use. It's been a few days since Golden Week, and Hoshikawa hasn't shown up yet, whether it's a school or a dormitory.

Dome knows her very well, this introverted to a little timid girl, definitely not a student who will miss class.

What's going on?
