The Puppeteer of Academy City

"Ah... I'm so unlucky!" Kamijou Touma couldn't even groan too far away in the vast crowd, "Before I knew it, I even lost my dinner... Could it be that I can only go to bed hungry today? Yet!"

And on the other side...

Suddenly it became a scene of two people. Misaka Mikoto looked at the boys beside her: "Yes, do you want to continue?"

Ling Xingye, who was thinking about whether to try to find Kamijou Touma, asked, "What?"

Misaka Mikoto pointed to a restaurant not far ahead: "Do you still have dinner?"

Since it's so close, let's give up looking for Kamijou Touma. Ling Xingye made a decisive decision.

"It just happened that he got lost, there is really no way." After taking a seat on the chair in the restaurant, Ling Xingye said, "We just met today, so I don't even have a phone number."

Misaka Mikoto said dissatisfied: "What do you mean it was him? Could it be that I was the one who got separated?"

"Or, Xingye has my number?" The girl looked over with questioning eyes.

"No," Ling Xingye shook his head, "but I think Hitomi should have your number, so it's no problem."

"No, I haven't changed numbers with Shiranui-senpai." Misaka Mikoto took out a frog-shaped mobile phone, "To avoid this situation, let's exchange numbers."

After exchanging phone numbers, Misaka Mikoto looked at her phone screen with satisfaction.

"Then, back to the topic just now. What exactly is Xingye's ability?"

Ling Xingye didn't answer directly, but stretched out one hand, and easily lifted the huge travel bag containing the sprite.

"The weight of this bag at the moment is about ninety kilograms."

This is a weight that is absolutely impossible for normal people to lift with one hand.

Then he let go of his hand suddenly, but the travel bag didn't land. Instead, it seemed to be lifted up by some force and stayed in mid-air.

"Silk thread?" Misaka Mikoto guessed, recalling the scene where Ling Xingye used metal wire to conduct electricity during the confrontation not long ago.

One side reached out and approached the past.

"That's right... Be careful, it's made of carbon nanotubes. Because it's very thin, it's hard to detect with the naked eye, and it's very sharp!"

"This is just a high-tech material, not a super power?" Misaka Mikoto lightly touched the existence of the silk thread, "Could it be that you are a material creation type."

"No," Ling Xingye shook his head, "My ability is the phase fulcrum of level 3, and the silk thread is just a prop. Because my ability can only be observed by myself, and it is only meaningful to me; so in order to apply it to reality , need the help of external objects.”

"So you chose the puppet? Learn to operate the puppet to develop your own abilities?"

Ling Xingye said: "On the contrary, I am a puppet master first, and then I am a capable person. Because I am a puppet master, I choose to use puppets to show my abilities."

"Puppeteer?" Misaka Mikoto was a little puzzled.

"Yes, the puppet master of the circus." Ling Xingye smiled, "Don't look at me like this, in fact, I can be regarded as a well-known puppet master on the mainland. Before I left, I was once a pillar of the troupe! "

"Xingye still worked in the circus?" Misaka Mikoto suddenly became interested, and the matter of ability was thrown aside, and she quickly asked Ling Xingye about various things and experiences in the circus.

Then, during the entire dinner, the topic revolved around Ling Xingye's experience in the circus...

Misaka Mikoto didn't realize this until after eight o'clock in the evening, which was far beyond the dormitory access control time of ordinary middle schools.

In fact, it was reminded by the persistent phone call from my roommate.

Ling Xingye had already had dinner with Hitomi Shiranui before, so he just ordered simple drinks and snacks to chat with Misaka Mikoto.

Seeing that it was late, he called the waiter and ordered two more dinners or takeaways.

One was brought back to his hapless new neighbor Touma Kamijou; the other was brought by Misaka Mikoto to her roommate Kuroko Shirai.

"Why treat her?" Misaka Mikoto quickly declined, "Xingye doesn't know her at all, does she? Is that why you want to spend all 20,000 yuan?"

She calculated the bill and found that the total price of the three dinners was just over 20,000 yuan. In other words, even the snacks and drinks Ling Xingye ate were paid with his own money.

He really didn't use a penny of his "ill-gotten gains" on himself.

"You said it just now," Ling Xingye explained, "The main reason why you can ignore the dormitory access control and come back late is that you have a school girl with a great ability in the space system as your roommate..."

"Well, that guy Kuroko doesn't need to care about her." Misaka Mikoto waved her hand subtly.

"She also took a lot of risks to cover up for you, and she still wants to take you back." Ling Xingye said, "So let's bring some gifts back...Of course, the main thing is to spend all the 20,000 yuan."

Moreover, Ling Xingye thought about it, the space ability user named Heizi... I seem to know one, I don't know if it is that brat.

"You are really a strange person." Misaka Mikoto looked at him and did not refuse again.

Ling Xingye opened his palm, and the travel bag on the ground rose out of thin air and fell into his hand.

"Then, it's getting late." Ling Xingye pulled out the chair for the girl, "I just happened to move into the seventh school district, so I'll take you back by the way."

"No need, I won't be in danger." Misaka Mikoto said carelessly.

"It has nothing to do with strength, it's just etiquette and common sense. Taking care of juniors is what seniors should do, isn't it?" Ling Xingye said, "Sister Misaka!"

"You're still struggling with addressing..." Misaka Mikoto showed an impatient expression, "Wait, you're suddenly so enthusiastic... Treating guests to dinner and taking me home again..."

Misaka Mikoto suddenly opened a distance and panicked: "You, you...Xingye, you already have Senpai Shiranui!"

Ling Xingye's expression was even more exaggerated: "...Are you all girls like this? Isn't your imagination too rich? It's just that it's rare to meet an audience with a heroic shot. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com I would like to thank you for today's Join us."

Misaka Mikoto lowered her head, her face was visibly stained with a blush, giving the impression that steam was about to burst from the top of her head.

"You...I don't have that kind of imagination!"

The bangs on the forehead shot out the lightning gun again.

Pedestrians passing by at the same time felt a strong interference with the mobile phone signal. The guard robots patrolling the streets also stopped at the same time.

"Stop following me!"

Misaka Mikoto quickly alternated legs and walked in front, Ling Xingye followed leisurely with her travel bag.

"I told you not to follow me anymore!" The girl stopped abruptly, turned around and scolded.

"However, I also live in District 7, and the road is the same."

"You..." Lightning flashed on the girl's forehead again.

Ling Xingye quickly stopped and said: "Don't! Do you want the entire school district to be powered off tonight!"

"Our dormitory is another power supply line, so don't worry."

"Okay, don't be self-willed. It's better for girls to be gentle?" Ling Xingye said with a headache, "I was just joking, and I didn't mean to tease you. Forgive me and calm down?"

"joke?"

It turned out to be just a joke!

The lightning instantly strengthened, and it really fell down!

Fortunately, Ling Xingye had already installed a steel wire lightning protection net, so he was unharmed.

But this made Misaka Mikoto even more angry.

In the end, with Misaka Mikoto's acquiescence, Ling Xingye sent her all the way to the dormitory outside Tokiwadai Middle School.

Misaka Mikoto never paid any attention to him.
