The sky gradually began to darken.
Lights came on one after another inside the buildings throughout Academy City.
But the entire Seventh District had fallen into darkness.
The reason, naturally, was a power outage.
"This is a bit troublesome..."
"So dark..."

"I never thought Academy City could have a blackout too..."
In the dim chatroom, Sylvia, Index, Kazari Hiyuka, Gohwa, and the other girls had gathered together, all sighing in dismay.
Looking at the girls, Fang Li felt rather helpless as well.

However, the downside of electrical appliances becoming so widespread was that once the power went out, all manner of inconveniences followed.
This was a problem that normally should not have occurred in Academy City.
After all, Academy City relied on wind turbines for its power supply. Even if some turbines malfunctioned, as long as the others remained operational, electricity could continue to be provided without interruption.

As that thought crossed Fang Li's
