Chapter 2 Ability Assessment
Today's Kamiya Research Institute exudes an unusual atmosphere from the inside out.
Should it be said to be dignified? Or is it better to smell gunpowder?
In short, it's such a serious feeling.
This research institute, which has a non-mainstream atmosphere from its name to its research content, always exudes a heavy dead air because of the small number of people. Rao is like this, and it is indeed rare to be so dignified to this extent.
At this time, Kawajin Hibiki was also in the laboratory on the first floor, and he was still wearing the red and white sportswear he was used to, and he was wearing that pair of large, subtle red windproof glasses.
Because of the ability to control fluids, he can easily wash and take care of the clothes around him, so one of the most common characteristics of men: laziness, has finally been perfectly reflected in him.
As long as the clothes are not dirty, then they will not be changed, but under the rational use of fluid control, the sweat on the clothes will quickly evaporate, and the dust outside the clothes can be cleaned up with water molecules in the air.
Men, as long as you dress neatly and don't change your clothes, it's OK!
This is the attitude of Kawajin.
By the way, if it's winter, heat up the air inside your clothes, and if it's summer, cool down the air inside your clothes. By operating the airflow, a piece of clothing does not avoid the cold and heat!
To be reasonable, if you are too lazy to change your clothes, no one can do it to this extent.
At the same time, it can also be seen that fluid control is really a very versatile ability, plus Kawa Shenxiang also belongs to that kind of person, who values how to exert all the effects of his ability more than the promotion of ability, and the control of his ability is very exquisite, which even Mikoto Misaka has to admit, just from the point of precise control, he is even better than his own LV5.
At this time, he rolled up the sleeve of his left arm, and in front of him, a woman with long cherry pink hair was smiling gently, inserting a needle into the vein of his left hand.
As the liquid inside emptied, the bespectacled woman, who was wearing a white robe and hanging a staff sign, kept a gentle smile, handed him a few pills and said, "Okay." Go for the test. It would be nice to be back in about three hours. ”
Kawajin didn't need to drink water, and as soon as he raised his hand, he threw the pill directly into his mouth and swallowed it.
This is the most common way for people with abilities to develop their abilities: taking pills and injecting drugs.
School Park City has always had a generous treatment for superpowers.,For example, Kawajin.,You can receive a subsidy of 9 million yen a month from School Park City.,Converted into U.S. dollars,It's about 80,000 U.S. dollars.,It's more than the per capita annual income of the United States.。
This money is slightly less than when Kawajin was a mercenary, but Kawajin is very satisfied with this treatment.
After all, being a mercenary is to earn money with your life, and it is all too common to spend your life in the world of mercenaries. In this comparison,The school city is much milder,At least the chance of death from injections and medicine is relatively low.。
To paraphrase Yu Daochuan's saying: "You can make a lot of money just by taking medicine and injections, where is there such a good job?" ”
However,From the perspective of the school city,This money seems a little more utilitarian.。 After all,The superpowers in the school city,It's all some kind of [guinea pigs],Researchers are recklessly developing and exploring the brains of superpowers.,This money,To put it bluntly,It's something like [hush money] or [life money], right?
It doesn't matter if the god of Kawajin is there, there is danger everywhere, he can be hit by a car in peacetime, where is it absolutely safe? Even if you stay at home, you may still catch up with volcanoes, earthquakes, or even terrorist attacks, so it is better to make a profit with danger. On this point, Kamikawa God and Yushima reached a consensus.
Tasting the extremely bitter taste of the pill, Kawajin showed a disgusting look on his face, even the mercenaries who had fought in the war could not resist this powerful explosion against the taste buds, and as the Adam's apple whimpered, he grimaced, as if the bitterness of the pill evaporated to his expression.
"Miss Sakurai, can you improve the taste of this thing a little next time, even if it's just crushed, it's good to put a capsule shell."
"Ahaha...... I, I'll help you report it to Director Kamiya, but ......"
The female researcher showed a subtle look on her face, and she didn't need to say it, Kawajin understood what this person wanted to express: Director Kamiya is the kind of person who doesn't care about other people's opinions at all, right? This kind of suggestion, I'm afraid he won't listen to it. The person has an almost fanatical interest in research, but only in the subject of the study...... Not very considerate.
Today is the day of aptitude assessment. You know,The rating of the ability of the school city,It's almost equivalent to what status a capable person can achieve in the school city.,Naturally, this assessment is very strict.。
First of all, you have to apply at least a month in advance.,Then the upper echelons of the school city will send a special evaluation team on a specific day.,Avoid favoritism to the greatest extent.。
If it's a school, it usually has a fixed day, but for a more private research institute like the Kamiya Research Institute, it's more casual, and you can apply at any time as long as you need it.
Kawajin Hibiki is also full of energy and is ready to take the test. If the performance is good enough, maybe he can still be among the ranks of LV5 - although this can only be a beautiful vision, he himself knows that although his calculation power has improved after the battle with Mikoto Misaka, it is still far from reaching the level of [qualitative change].
"Kawajin-kun, come on!"
Beside him, the woman with long cherry pink hair clenched her fist at him and made a cheering gesture.
She is Director Kamiya's most trusted deputy, Sakurai Haruna, and she is also the indispensable person in this research institute to coordinate up and down.
She used to be a graduate of the computer school, and she has a superpower called [Absolute Memory], which greatly stimulates human memory, makes people unforgettable, and helps the work of the liberal arts department with great help.
Because of this ability, although she only has LV2, she received invitations from many research institutes as soon as she graduated, after all, absolute memory means a moving library, as long as she writes it down, it really won't forget anything. It's much easier to find information.
With Miss Sakurai's encouragement, Kawajin Hibiki also smiled, lifted his red lens, and gave her a confident smile: "Of course!" I'm the ace of this institute! ”
