The Puppeteer of Academy City

two years later...

Beep, beep, beep, beep...

As soon as the alarm clock rang in the morning, it was turned off by Ling Xingye.

Stuck the phone back under the pillow, Ling Xingye resisted the strong drowsiness in his mind, and barely opened one eye.

The curtains of the room have been pulled open, and the first ray of sunlight in the morning outside casts a few spots of light on the floor...

"Oops! It's already so late!" Ling Xingye cheered up instantly, and sat up straight from the bed.

Today is the first day of the new school year. In order to avoid being late, Ling Xingye specially set a triple alarm clock. His mobile phone alarm clock is the last insurance - it should be used to remind himself when to go out.

The miniature puppet "bell ringer" on the desk next to him was the first alarm clock, but it seemed that he subconsciously knocked it down in his sleep and failed to work.

Ling Xingye looked around again, but there was no one there. Shiranui Hitomi's cell phone set the second alarm clock, it seemed that she got up on time, but she didn't wake herself up.

"Are you finally awake?" Hitomi Shiranui poked his head out of the kitchen when he heard the movement, "I saw you were fast asleep, so I didn't call you. Get up and wash up, today is the first day of school, and the work of the student union is very busy. Busy, don't be late!"

"Oh, I won't be late." Ling Xingye nodded quickly, and then thought of the alarm clock time he set, "Isn't it definitely too late? Why don't you have breakfast and go directly, we will eat in the school cafeteria !"

Ling Xingye suggested that he and Hitomi Shiranui are now respectively the vice president and president of the Changdian Shangji Academy Student Union, and they have the authority to let the school cafeteria open a small kitchen for them.

"No!" Hitomi Shiranui flatly refused, while taking out the frying pan from the kitchen with great vigor, "Who do you think I woke up early to prepare breakfast for?"

Ling Xingye raised his hands in surrender: "Okay, it's my fault, I overslept..."

"Really, Xingye's street performance last night was too much!" Shiranui Hitomi brought out the porridge casserole from the kitchen and complained, "Knowing that I have to get up early today, but I still didn't come back until the early morning, it's so messed up Already!"

"After all, it's a long-lost street performance." Ling Xingye shrugged, "I've been too busy recently, and all kinds of miscellaneous work have left me with no time to prepare for a new show. I was very interested yesterday, so I can't let the audience down."

In addition to the basic identity of "student", Ling Xingye now has multiple identities such as the leader of the group of armed incompetents, the vice president of the student union of Changdian Shangji Academy, the liaison officer of the Baiyin Organization in the academy city; and even the overall director The title of council member is still valid.

No matter how much Ling Xingye wanted to be a hands-off shopkeeper, he would still be entangled in all kinds of chores.

"Besides," Ling Xingye said with a wry smile, "If I don't get more active, my popularity will be snatched away by that girl Leizi."

"If Saten-san heard this comment, he would definitely jump up happily." Shiranui Hitomi said.

"Haha, you can't underestimate that guy," Ling Xingye said, "Although he is not talented in superpowers—not even as good as a troublemaker—but he is very talented in pulling silk scenes. Sister Yao wants to kick me out and accept him personally. She's a student."

"Who made Xingye refuse to teach him well?" Hitomi Shiranui said while handing over the sandwich she had sandwiched.

Seafood porridge, sandwiches made of bacon, fried eggs, lettuce and toast, and freshly made apple milkshake. The breakfast was very rich, but the two ate it quickly because time was really running out.

After finishing her part, Shiranui Hitomi immediately took the time to put on makeup, while looking at the mirror, she stared at the time on the phone screen.

"I knew I should have moved to an apartment closer to the school, but now I'm sure it's too late to take the bus!" She said, "Xingye refuses to move. Could it be that she doesn't want to part with the queen bee next door?"

"Why?" Ling Xingye rolled her eyes, "Shokuhou Misaki rarely comes to this apartment, does she? She hardly leaves the school house easily."

"Speaking of it," Ling Xingye continued, as if suddenly remembering something, "Shokuho went to Wuqiu Women's College? And declared war on us?"

Wugaoka Women's College is also one of the five famous schools with the same reputation as Tokiwadai Middle School and Changdian Shangji Academy. It likes to recruit rare and rare ability users.

"In terms of rarity, level 5 must be counted anyway, right?" Hitomi Shiranui said, "What's more, that guy, as long as she wants to, even if she changes the rules, she will go in, right?"

After a moment of silence, Ling Xingye nodded in agreement: "Maybe it's true..."

After graduating this year, Shokuhou Misaki not only promoted himself to Wugaoka Women's College, but also brought all the graduates of his faction together. What's even more exaggerated is that the Shokuhou faction has successfully "seized power" and replaced the functions of the student union before school officially started.

It can be said that the current Wuqiu Women's College is almost completely under the control of the queen bee.

Not hesitating to achieve this point, Shokuhou Misaki has only one purpose - to "declare war" on the long-point Shangji Academy.

In terms of personal relationship, Hitomi Shiranui and Misaki Shokuhou are competitors, and now they are both student council presidents. The competition between the two will obviously become more intense.

"Hmph, then come on." Hitomi Shiranui said to herself, "Anyway, we have more than level 5!"

In a burst of tension and busyness, the two were ready to go out and came to the entrance together.

Hitomi Shiranui stood on tiptoe to straighten the collar of the uniform for Ling Xingye, and then nodded in satisfaction.

In the end, she looked back with some regret—the dishes on the table had no time to take care of them, and the room had not had time to tidy up either.

"Forget it, let's talk when we come back." She said helplessly.

"By the way, didn't 10001 come today?" Ling Xingye asked, "She usually comes to help make breakfast, right?"

"She's with Meiqin. She's the freshman representative today, and she's very busy."

"But 10001 is not a freshman representative, is it?"

"Mikoto will definitely not let her run away." Hitomi Shiranui said.

"What the **** is the rush..."

"New uniforms, new images, etc. After all, they look exactly the same."

Finally, Ling Xingye picked up the travel bag, and the two walked out the door together.

"It's going to be late! Misfortune!"

I saw the door of the next room open, and a boy with a hedgehog head rushed out.

Almost at the same time, the apartment next door was also forcefully opened, and the boy with yellow hair and sunglasses ran out yelling.

"It's Kamijou, you played the game so late yesterday!"

"Bastard! Who do you think invited me to try out the new game?"

"Yo, good morning Starry Night." Motoharu Tsuchimikado stopped to say hello.

Kamijou Touma also stopped in his tracks: "Morning, since Starry Night is here, doesn't it mean that you are not late yet?"

"No, it's really late." Ling Xingye said, hugging the girl's waist, and jumped down from the seventh floor, "So let's take a step first."

Manipulating the silk thread, Ling Xingye flew between tall buildings with Hitomi Shiranui, and flew towards the school in a straight line.

It was precisely because of this last resort that they were able to calmly finish their breakfast before setting off.

Downstairs in the apartment, Kurotsutsu Kakki poked his head out of the car window, watching Ling Xingye and Hitomi Shiranui leave.

The guard in the back seat said: "I said no, right? That guy has a clear distinction between public and private, and he doesn't need your special car to pick him up."

Galloping all the way, Ling Xingye arrived near the school in less than ten minutes.

In order to ensure the image of the student union, they landed one street away from the school gate and walked the last part of the way instead.

"His hair is all messed up!" Hitomi Shiranui used the phone screen as a mirror to comb her somewhat messy hair.

At the intersection, they met the Misaka sisters who also came on foot.

Sure enough, they put on new uniforms, which made people's eyes shine.

"Master, good morning!" Misaka 10001 spoke first, "Because my sister prevented me, Misaka was unable to help make breakfast."

Misaka Mikoto came to Ling Xingye, raised her head and said, "As agreed, I'm here. So in the next year, please give me your advice, Senior Xingye!"

"Damn it! My lord sister and my lord sister are finally doomed!" There was a figure of Sui Sui Nian next to him.

"Shirai Kuroko!" Misaka Mikoto sighed, "Go back to school!"

"Sister, are you going to abandon me?" Shirai Heizi looked over with teary eyes.

"You bastard..." Misaka Mikoto sighed, "You are already the student council president, right? Don't be late for the first day of school!"

Since the two level 5 graduates left school, there were only those with the highest level 4 abilities in Tokiwadai Middle School. Among them, Shirai Kuroko, who has experience as a disciplinary committee member, took advantage of the opportunity to become the current student council president.

"Don't worry, I won't be late." Shirai Heizi muttered, and then looked at Ling Xingye firmly, "Don't be complacent, I will definitely be admitted to this school next year and take my sister back from you."

"Heizi, don't say unnecessary words!"

"Next year? I've already graduated." Ling Xingye said with a smile.

"Damn it!" Shirai Heizi was speechless, "Anyway, for this year, my elder sister and my younger sister will be counting on you, Master Xingye!"

Baijing Heizi suddenly became serious and bowed to Ling Xingye.

"Don't worry, it is my duty to protect every student in the school." Ling Xingye said.

Shirai Kuroko moved away from the space.

"Protect everyone, how dare you say it!" Immediately afterwards, Accelerator was seen walking from the other side of the street.

Misaka Miho was by his side, they had just sent the final signal to school, and happened to meet Ling Xingye at this intersection.

Facing Accelerator, Misaka Mikoto chose to remain silent.

Accelerator also chose to ignore the others, and went straight to Ling Xingye: "I have developed a new ability, do you want to try it?"

"When there is free time after the school season, I will definitely accompany you."

After getting a satisfactory answer, Accelerator stopped talking and walked forward with everyone.

Misaka Misho looked at Misaka Mikoto and Misaka 10001 who entered the school today: "Very good, now there are three Misakas in the school, and I am a senior!"

"Okay, as long as you are happy." Misaka Mikoto said perfunctorily.

Finally came to the gate of the school, and saw Haruka Toyama, Miyu Yakushiji, and Chihui Isshiki waiting at the gate from a distance.

Seeing Ling Xingye and Hitomi Shiranui, they hurried over.

"Xingye, it's on the headlines of the forum again today!" Isshiki Qianhui said gloatingly, "And the squad leader too, the teacher asked you to find her after school."

"Hey, stop chatting at the door!" Before everyone finished greeting, Lily Mezzas pushed through the crowd and rushed over aggressively, "Ling Xingye! And the president! You are too slow!"

"Morning, Lily." Ling Xingye greeted calmly.

"Good morning... I told you it's not the time to say hello! Bad guests come to the door, you go to the place!" Lily complained loudly, "I'm obviously not a member of the student union, why should I worry about you!"

"So who is the villain?" Hitomi Shiranui asked.

"Student Lily, it's not a lady's behavior to speak ill of others behind their backs~"

Hearing this familiar and sweet voice, Hitomi Shiranui and Misaka Mikoto sighed together.

Led by Shokuhou Misaki, a group of girls wearing different school uniforms appeared on the stage. Obviously this is not their Wuqiu Women's Academy, but they have taken the lead, abruptly walking out of the home court momentum.

As the host, of course Ling Xingye and his party had no reason to back down and went forward.

"Look!" The students around stopped and attracted everyone to watch, "It's really rare, it's the gathering of the 'Night Force'!"

Seeing Ling Xingye, Shokuhou Misaki raised the hem of her uniform skirt and bowed her knees in salute: "Long time no see, Gui'an, Master Xingye~"

This time, even Ling Xingye felt a headache: "What do you want to do? You came to kick the gym before school started?"

"Well, that's it~ This year, please give me more advice~" Shokuhou Misaki smiled triumphantly.

She glanced at the crowd around Ling Xingye: "One, two, three, four... a total of four level 5, really exaggerated strength! But they are not bad here."

In the past two years, with the advent of the new era, there are gradually more Level 5s in Academy City—some ability users and new humans outside of Academy City will also be awarded Level 5 after being judged and certified.

Shokuhou Misaki did not know where to find such a powerful reinforcement.

Ling Xingye noticed that among the crowd behind Shokuhou Misaki, there were two young girls with an unusually strong sense of presence.

Lily stared at one of them, and said to herself: "The artificial man..."

The other party also responded: "Hello, senior sister Lily, I'm Hutao, an exchange student at Xavier School for Gifted Youth, level 5 'The Unbroken Wall'."

And the other girl, who has obvious mechanized parts on her body, is a new human who has been heavily infected by the "mechanical virus".

Her expression was also very indifferent, her eyes fluctuated only when she glanced at Ling Xingye's travel bag, she said in a dull tone: "Vitas; professional, mechanic; super power, level 5 'redundancy'."

No matter how strong they are, the two of them are Level 5 officially recognized by Academy City, so obviously they should not be underestimated. No wonder Shokuhou Misaki ran over proudly to show off.

"One more?" Ling Xingye reminded ~www.wuxiahere.com~ You only have three level 5s. "

"The last one is me, little junior—even though I'm not a superpower."

There was another familiar voice, and a girl stood up, followed by two tall maids—to be precise, they were maid puppets.

"Little Junior Sister!" Ling Xingye corrected, "What's the matter with you?"

"Okay, okay," Ling Chanjuan shrugged, "For the sake of you being a third-year senior...I'm already a genius puppet master who has mastered the realm of the pot. Is it not too much to be equivalent to a level 5?"

Ling Xingye said helplessly: "I just want to know, why are you here?"

"It's an exchange student, after all, we have cooperated with Academy City." Ling Chanjuan said, "Please take care of me from now on, senior brother."

Ling Xingye let out a long sigh, and then cheered up: "Okay, since that's the case... Welcome to Academy City!"
