Da Vinci's Little Notebook

Suddenly, a robbery occurred ahead.

It was a very common occurrence, Yuxian was used to it. After all, Academy City was a big city, filled with all sorts of people.

It's perfectly normal for a few robbers to appear.

Wow!

A gust of wind blew up and smashed a roadside trash can heavily onto the fleeing robber.

Ability person.

This is also the most common sight in Academy City, so it's not surprising.

However, Yuxian knew the person who used superpowers to subdue the robber.

Konoe Mitsuko.

A student at Tokiwadai Middle School, and a classmate of Shirai Kuroko.

Konoe Mitsuko said with a hint of pride, "How dare you do such a daring thing in broad daylight and in front of everyone! Even if God forgives a villain like you, I, Konoe Mitsuko, will never forgive you."

Her actions earned the admiration of passersby.

But not everyone thinks that way; one man wearing glasses disagrees.

He stepped forward and accused Konoe Mitsuko, saying, "I've been watching the whole time. Didn't you go a little too far?"

"Huh?" Konoe Mitsuko was completely bewildered, not understanding what he was talking about.

The bespectacled man adjusted his glasses and said with an air of righteousness, "Even if the other party is a criminal, I cannot accept your misuse of your abilities."

There are certainly many ways to resolve this incident; there are guard posts nearby, and surveillance cameras are also set up along the road.

Furthermore, you should realize that those around you might be affected, and this time you were lucky enough to subdue him with one move.

What would you do if he took children and women hostage?

The bespectacled man's words sparked discussion among passersby.

"Is this the Master was talking about?"

Just then, a child's voice rang out from the crowd. Her voice wasn't deliberately lowered; it was very clear in the crowd, and everyone heard what she said.

The bespectacled man frowned, narrowed his eyes, and glanced at the crowd, trying to find the source of the sound.

"No, no, no, people here like to give people nicknames, like Railgun, Accelerator like that."

Then another child's voice rang out, and everyone could see what they looked like.

This was Yuxian and his party. The one who spoke just now was Little Jeanne. She couldn't stand this kind of thing the most. The older sister was clearly right, but she was being unfairly criticized. That's why she couldn't help but speak up to support Konoe Mitsuko.

Gretel, on the other hand, always seemed to enjoy making things more interesting, and she was always involved in these kinds of fun activities.

She continued Little Jeanne's words with great seriousness, "I think his title should be..."

"Gang Dong Di Qiu!"

Little Jack interrupted the Gretel rhyme and uttered the word.

The Gretel, whose words had been stolen, felt as if she had been choked. She said angrily, "Jack, why did you steal my words!"

"I thought you'd forgotten, Alice," Jack said innocently, blinking.

"I didn't forget, I clearly did..." She found herself unable to continue.

She had indeed been faking it, breathing heavily and deliberately not finishing her sentence. Faced with Jack's innocent gaze, she could only lower her head and admit defeat.

Little Jeanne was unaware of her friend's situation. She walked up angrily and stood in front of the bespectacled man.

Pointing at the bespectacled man, she said, "You said you were watching the whole time, so why didn't you step in and stop that bastard!"

Little Jeanne's indignant expression made the onlookers nod in agreement; it was indeed the truth.

Furthermore, the fact that Little Jeanne's child made them believe even more strongly that these were the truths spoken by an innocent child, leading to a very strong sense of identification.

"What do you know, you're just a kid!"

The bespectacled man glared angrily at Little Jeanne.

Little Jeanne, of course, was not afraid of him. She pointed at Konoe Mitsuko and said, "This lady clearly did a good deed, yet you criticize her for no reason. You are the one who doesn't know right from wrong. This is a principle that even a child understands."

The other children quickly stood up to support Little Jeanne: "Yes! Those who have no ability but still stand up and make sarcastic remarks are the most despicable!"

They were allies, partners on the same front, and it was impossible to leave Little Jeanne to fight alone.

"Tch!" Faced with so many children's accusations, the bespectacled man knew the situation was unfavorable to him and slunk away.

"He ran away after arguing, what a troll." The children cast disdainful glances at the bespectacled man's retreating figure.

Thank you!

Konoe Mitsuko gratefully thanked Little Jeanne for standing up for her.

She was indeed a little flustered by what the bespectacled man said, but fortunately, Little Jeanne stepped in to save her from the awkward situation.

"It's alright!" Little Jeanne shook her head. "Sister, you don't need to care about that kind of guy. You did the right thing, it's not like what he said."

"The right thing to do is to stand up for bad people. Someone like him who only hides in the back is obviously not the kind of person who would do good deeds."

Little Jeanne's words may seem childish, but the reasoning behind them is simple and easy to understand. No one can deny that this is the truly correct sense of right and wrong.

Passersby applauded, offering belated applause to Konoe Mitsuko.

Konoe Mitsuko had never seen such a scene before. The young lady's face flushed slightly, and she began to feel shy.

Section 215, Chapter 42: Da Vinci's Little Notebook

The chance encounter with Konoe Mitsuko was just a minor incident and did not affect Yuxian's subsequent schedule.

They continued to wander around.

Academy City is indeed very large. Yuxian and his group have only been here a short time, and there is far from enough time to explore the entire Academy City.

In my Yuxian days, I've only managed to barely walk through the Seventh School District once, and I can't even say I'm familiar with it.

"There seems to be a traffic jam ahead."

Mash saw the congested traffic on the road ahead and pointed to it from a distance.

"Is there some kind of event? Why are so many cars heading this way?"

Academy City often hosts large-scale events, so given this situation, Yuxian guessed that something was probably going to be happening here.

Just then, a figure appeared in front of them—it was Shirai Kuroko.

As Disciplinary Committee, upon learning of the traffic jam, she instantly teleported to provide assistance.

She hadn't noticed Yuxian and his group, and was about to teleport away again when Yuxian called out to her.

"Shirai-kun, what's going on here?"

Shirai Kuroko turned around and saw Yuxian and his group. She explained urgently, "The traffic lights here are malfunctioning for some reason. It just so happens that the Academic Conference is about to be held, which is why there is such a serious traffic jam."

"The Academic Conference?"

Yuxian wanted to ask more questions, Shirai Kuroko interrupted him, saying anxiously, "I have to go support the other Disciplinary Committee, so I have to talk to you later."

After saying that, she instantly disappeared from Yuxian's sight.

"The Academy City Research Academic Conference, or Academy City Research Conference for short, is a scientific research conference for publishing technologies and cutting-edge theories."

Da Vinci began to explain, as she was also a researcher of theory and technology and naturally had some understanding of this Academic Conference.

"However, I have no interest in participating in these small-scale seminars. They are all immature theories, but they are a good platform for students to show their talents."

Da Vinci was very confident in her assessment of the Academic Conference, and she had the right to look down on such so-called seminars.

"Let's take a detour then. It's so congested here, we'd rather not join the crowd."

Yuxian decided to take a detour. He wouldn't understand anything at such a purely theoretical Academic Conference anyway, so there was no need to make a fool of himself.

They took a different route, bypassing the Academic Conference's press conference venue, and continued to stroll around the streets.

Before long, they ran into an acquaintance again.

I don't know why I keep running into people I know today. After Konoe Mitsuko, it was Shirai Kuroko, and this time I ran into Misaka Mikoto and Saten Ruiko, as well as Last Order with them.

"Hey! You guys are shopping too!" Yuxian greeted Misaka Mikoto and the others familiarly.

He had been at Da Vinci's research institute for quite some time and had become quite familiar with Misaka Mikoto, so he was more casual in greeting her.

Misaka Mikoto responded with an "Mmm" and nodded, saying, "We were having a gathering at a family restaurant with Kuroko and Haru, but they were called to go on duty due to an emergency, leaving only the three of us."

Yuxian said, "We just came from over there. There was a traffic jam because the traffic lights next to the Academic Conference's venue were broken, and we even ran into Shirai-kun."

"Ah! Then let's not go there, let's take another route."

Upon hearing this, Misaka Mikoto and the others immediately decided to change their route so as not to cause trouble for Shirai Kuroko and the others.

Since they all knew each other, they traveled together with Yuxian and his group.

Saten Ruiko has always carried Last Order with her, and her relationship with Last Order is now even better than that with Misaka Mikoto.

Their relationship is closer than that of blood sisters.

However, at this moment, Saten Ruiko discovered an even more special existence: Da Vinci.

She quietly approached Da Vinci and walked alongside her.

"Teacher Leonardo, you were hiding among the children, I almost didn't notice you."

Saten Ruiko's words displeased Da Vinci, who pouted and said, "Does Uiharu Kazari have some kind of problem with me?"

"Oh, not at all. I was just curious that a scholar as knowledgeable as you, teacher, could also have a childlike side."

No sooner had Saten Ruiko finished speaking than Da Vinci immediately retorted, "I am a beautiful girl!"

"Alright, alright." Saten Ruiko didn't dwell on the topic. She asked instead, "What brings Teacher Leonardo to the shopping scene today?"

"Can't I go shopping?"

"Of course, I'm just a little curious."

In Saten Ruiko's memory, Da Vinci was a person who was focused on learning and research. She had known him for so long, and she had never seen him go shopping.

"Hey Uiharu Kazari, have you finished your summer homework?"

Da Vinci had a good impression of Saten Ruiko, and she brought up a topic that gave all the students a headache.

This is especially true for academically Saten Ruiko.

Saten Ruiko pleaded, "Teacher, could you please not mention homework today? Summer vacation isn't over yet!"

Da Vinci, in a teacher's tone, admonished, "Uiharu Kazari, you must study hard. You can't do it like this."

"Anyway, I'm just a level 0 powerless person, so it doesn't matter whether I learn or not."

Saten Ruiko, having given up all hope, said these words without feeling embarrassed at all.

She even looked at Da Vinci with expectant eyes and asked, "Teacher, aren't you doing research? Is there any way to make me a top student overnight?"

Da Vinci glanced at her and said casually, "Yes..."

"Really? Really!" Saten Ruiko exclaimed upon hearing this.

He rubbed his hands together and gave Da Vinci a fawning smile, "Then, teacher, do you think I can...?"

"What a load of rubbish!"

Da Vinci, his face stern with anger, glared at Saten Ruiko, a look of disappointment on his face, and said resentfully:

"Don't always think about these crooked ways; there are no shortcuts to learning!"

"Tch!" Saten Ruiko said with a hint of disdain, "Teacher Leonardo, what you're saying isn't convincing at all. The reason you can master so much knowledge is ultimately because talent is the most important factor."

Da Vinci was somewhat reluctant to talk to Saten Ruiko.

Can she be the same? She's Uomo Universale!

There is only one Da Vinci in this world, and that is her, Leonardo da Vinci.

"I know! I know!" Illya, who was standing nearby, heard their conversation and quickly said that she had something to say.
