Fukiyose Seiri was a member of the Daihaseisai organizing committee.

Though the committee members didn’t have any of the special privileges that were given to Anti-Skill and Judgment, they were in charge of preparing and refereeing the matches, a job which didn’t allow any room for error. To any ordinary person, though the Daihaseisai was just a large-scale sports meet, it could allow people to easily evaluate the esper powers development program of each school, and thus affect the budget that each school received.

Of course, the committee members had to take part in the matches.

Because of that, they had to arrange their work schedule such that it didn’t affect their own matches. It sounded simple, but Academy City itself was one-third the size of Tokyo. The distance to each competitive arena may vary due to the different locations, and sometimes, the distance may be too far. It was impossible to excel at this job if one was unable to plan intricately like those suspense novels, or adapt to the situation immediately when the start and end times of a match were changed slightly. It was a race against time.

(I have to get to the arena where the Ball Toss match is, so it’s probably better to use the auto-bus than the subway train if… No no, this won’t work. There’s still a long-distance race on that road, so the road should be closed. If so, it’s better to use the subway… Ah never mind, since it’s in the same district, it might be faster if I run there!)

Fukiyose was holding a container filled with drinks with both hands as she continued to do her calculations. As a committee member, it was expected that she had to memorize the map and the schedule in her brain. If she didn’t do that, it was impossible for her to adapt to any unexpected situations that occurred.

She was currently heading towards the arena where she’d be acting as a referee. She purposely chose to stay away from the shortest route and walk on a long, roundabout route. The reason was simple, the ultimate way to shorten the time was to avoid moving with the crowd.

Because of that, Fukiyose chose to move quickly along the road where she had dragged Kamijou along a while back.

(If I chose to leave from the subway or the bus stop, there would still be quite some distance to the arena. I still have to get past the crowded areas as well. In terms of results, it might be faster to walk along the alleys where there are fewer people walking on… but isn’t it scary to be running before I even get to warm up?)

Fukiyose, who was thinking to herself, suddenly stopped in her tracks and frowned.

Several hundred meters away, Fukiyose saw a silver-haired girl in cheerleader attire prostrating on the floor. Wouldn’t it be extremely hot for her hands to touch the asphalt on such a hot day? There was a botanical test
