“You know how I major in computational physics? Looking at the size, speed, and shape of the space, the universe is the only thing I can think of that fits the bill. The numerical value is too large for it to be implemented on the continent.”
“But why am I dreaming about this stuff? Psychological regression means it's my memory, but I've never been to outer space.”
“Probably not, but even if you didn't personally go to space, memories can still exist. According to Nade.”
“Mourning Sensation…”
Nade nodded his head.
“Yeah. The death row inmate knew every nation's situation, despite being in a coma due to the Soul Electrolysis experiment. That means he transcended space and time to gain that information. The Mourning Sensation is in a different field from psychic science's materiality breakaway. If one's soul flies around like a pigeon, one won't be able to come across all the information about the world simultaneously. On the other hand, when ionization occurs electrically, a quantum phenomenon will occur. With that lies a possibility of transcending space and time.”
Yiruki nodded in agreement.
“In the microscopic world, things outside of our common sense occur. Observation and measurement cannot be done at the same, and even those are only probabilities. It's like plucking a guitar string and being unable to determine where it is at the moment. If by chance, the weight of the soul is lighter than that of electrons, it might be possible to feel the universe. Since it's a world where there is no real correlation between time and distance.”
After putting together everything said by both Nade and Yiruki, Shirone could somewhat imagine it in his head.
“Hmm, I think I know what the situation is now. Thanks. You guys are true members of the Supernatural Psychic Science Research Group.”
“Haha! This is nothing. Anyways, don't worry too much. It probably isn't some bizarre curse or anything like that. Let's look into areas related to the Immortal Function.”
At that moment, Shirone made up his mind.
“Okay! I'm going to join the Supernatural Psychic Research Group.”
Nade found no reason to refuse. After all, there would be three members if Shirone joined. They would be registered as an official research group, and the subsidies that were cut off a year ago would start coming in again.
“You're always welcome here, right, Yiruki?”
“For the development of this research group, Shirone is definitely a good recruit, but will the management team approve? There might be a lot of teachers who will oppose it due to our group's notoriety.”
“Leave that to me. I just have to put the document in without them noticing. Now, let's get going!”
Shirone, who was following his friends, looked back.
'This is now my research group.'
It was no different than a warehouse, but considering it would soon be 'his' soon, he couldn't help but feel happy.
'I'll have to plan a big clean-up day sometime.'
Bang!
The iron door closed.
In the desolate laboratory where the lights were turned off, the dust particles coming from where Shirone sat silently rotated.
The teacher's room was unusually busy.
The instructors who were finished with class usually drank tea or chatted while waiting for their next class, but right now, all of them were analyzing documents.
There were dozens of applications for membership.
Siena, who had just finished her class, was surprised to see the piles of papers.
“Oh my, are they all membership applications? There are a lot this week.”
“Hoho, it's almost the end of the semester. It's always like this around this time of the year. What a bunch of sneaky kids.”
As the students could replace the performance evaluation with a presentation from the research group, it had become a recent trend for students who were not part of a group to temporarily join one at the end of the semester.
Thadd, who was assisting with the work, said.
“The kids are only becoming sneakier and sneakier. It wasn't like this in the past, they used to be so passionate about their research group and the performance evaluation. I think students these days only focus on efficiency.”
“Hahaha! It's not what it used to be. Compared to 10 years ago, competition has become more fierce, so they must be experiencing a fair amount of stress. The reason for creating a temporary research group is probably to buy time for their personal studies.”
