Chapter 962: A Special Achievement

It should be known that the reason Lin Wuming was willing to endure loneliness today, acting as a strategist rather than personally leading the charge as he usually did, was precisely because he wanted to capture the “Big Boss” hidden behind the scenes.

After all, in today's major unrest incident, the enemies were numerous, but their quality was not very high; in short, they were just a bunch of cannon fodder, which really didn't pique Lin Wuming's interest enough to personally intervene.

Relatively, Lin Wuming was more interested in the mastermind who coordinated everything behind the scenes and organized this major disturbance.

Regardless of whether that person's individual combat strength was strong or weak, they were definitely someone worth Lin Wuming personally dealing with.

Lin Wuming mobilized all Our connections, doing his best to suppress the unrest, with the ultimate goal of forcing that culprit to reveal himself.

As a result, Lin Wuming, with a series of decisive actions in this makeshift command center, swiftly and completely cleared out the suspects of this major disturbance.

Even when the last technological spy suspected of stealing classified Institute data was arrested, the so-called Big Boss behind the scenes never appeared.

“…” Lin Wuming was so speechless that he even felt like laughing.

Had he known this, he would have personally gone to the front lines to fight and capture a few A-level suspects himself.

“Wuming-senpai?” Seeing Lin Wuming suddenly laugh, Misaka Mikoto stepped forward worriedly and asked, “Are you… alright?”

“Are you too tired?” Shirai Kuroko also asked worriedly.

Although Lin Wuming did not participate in the fighting throughout this operation, the mental and physical effort required to command such a large-scale operation was immense; just watching from the sidelines made one feel very tired.

After all, when commanding a real war, there is an existing command system that can be used, and in a technologically advanced place like Academy City, there are even complete command systems for assistance.

However, Lin Wuming and Our team this time created something out of nothing, piecing together a city-wide large-scale cleanup operation purely through phone communications and literally “connections.”

In this operation, Lin Wuming's importance was undeniable; without him as the core node, this situation simply couldn't have been put together.

Precisely because of this, Lin Wuming bore the greatest pressure.

Anti-Skill and Judgment, these two official agencies, were fine, but the Armed Unskilled Group and Dark Side Organization were different; these unruly individuals might truly have only been giving “Lin Wuming” face, which is why they were willing to obey commands and cooperate with the operation.

If conflicts or even clashes broke out between these organizations, only Lin Wuming could mediate and coordinate.

During the busiest times, Lin Wuming's own phone wasn't enough, and he had to borrow Anti-Skill’s professional communication system to alleviate this problem.

Therefore, although Lin Wuming himself didn't think it was a big deal, and even felt a bit bored; in the eyes of everyone else except Misaka Mikoto, the pressure and work intensity Lin Wuming faced at the time had already reached an outrageous level.

“Don't worry, I'm fine, not tired at all.” Lin Wuming shook his head, then sighed, “It's just… I feel a bit bored.”

“Bo… bored?” Kogawa Meiwei was instantly dumbfounded.

Kogawa Meiwei herself felt like she was about to collapse from exhaustion, and she only needed to be responsible for contacting Heiqi Mianliu, indirectly handling matters related to the Armed Unskilled Group. In comparison, her workload was already very low.

“Don't forget Wuming-senpai is a Level 5,” Misaka Mikoto reminded, “Don't underestimate Our Level 5 brains.”

That's right, the reason Misaka Mikoto wasn't surprised was because she was also a Level 5, so she could assess that the previous round of operations would not put too much pressure on a Level 5's brain.

And relatively, because she was very familiar with Lin Wuming, Misaka Mikoto also noticed that Lin Wuming's mood was off.

—He clearly achieved victory, even a complete victory, but Wuming-senpai doesn't seem very happy… No, rather, he seems unsatisfied.

Misaka Mikoto unexpectedly resonated with the emotional state Lin Wuming was displaying at this moment.

—Because he didn't have the chance to personally intervene, he feels unsatisfied, still wanting more? I understand that feeling!

“Alright!” Lin Wuming shook his head, quickly composed himself, “Since the incident has been resolved and all suspects have been arrested and brought to justice, then… let's disband and go home.”

Lin Wuming clapped his hands, announcing the disbandment of this temporary command center.

After all, it was originally a makeshift setup that Lin Wuming had put together on a whim, so its disbandment only required a single word from Lin Wuming.

But at this moment, the Guard Teachers in the conference room who had been cooperating with Lin Wuming looked like they had something to say, wanting to stop Lin Wuming—how could they not hold a summary meeting after just commanding such a large-scale operation?

Unlike Lin Wuming, who was completely unconcerned about this matter, the Guards were well aware of how astounding everything that happened this afternoon was.

It could be said that if it weren't for a special existence like Lin Wuming, they might never have witnessed such a scene.

Before this, they had never imagined that they, as Guards, could collaborate with those delinquents. Even the arrogant and unruly Dark Side Organization could cooperate well. It could be said that this was a miracle!

It was a pity that Huangquanchuan Aisui was not here at this time; the other Guards felt somewhat lacking in confidence when facing Lin Wuming.

If the nickname “Nameless Board Member” still carried a hint of jest before today, being a nominal empty promise; after being tempered by this incident, Lin Wuming's “Director” status became a genuine golden brand.

In fact, strictly speaking, perhaps no Director possessed stronger influence and Personnel mobilization capabilities than Lin Wuming!

Facing such a de facto big shot, the Guards truly couldn't find a reason to make him stay, just to cooperate with their summary meeting…

“Ah, Huangquanchuan-sensei, you're back.” Shokuhou Misaki’s voice suddenly came from the conference room doorway.

Shokuhou Misaki smiled as she greeted Huangquanchuan Aisui, and incidentally informed her of what had happened here through “Mental Out.”

—Huh? A summary meeting?

Huangquanchuan Aisui was stunned for a moment—there was indeed such a custom, but that was an internal practice for Us Guards, and it wouldn't extend to Lin Wuming.

Huangquanchuan Aisui is not a Level 5, nor even an Esper, so she also cannot understand the extent to which a Level 5's brain computing power can reach.

Anyway, applying her own experience, Huangquanchuan Aisui felt that Our Lin Wuming must have been exhausted this time.

So, as for summary meetings, just toss them aside!
