"I didn't expect so many people would come."
Sitting in the classroom and looking at the people around her, Riri Saotome couldn't help but sigh.
Looking around, the lecture hall was full of students, most of them were girls. The school uniforms they wore were also varied. Most of them were from Tokiwadai, but there were also many students from other schools. Among them, one could even see the uniforms of Kirioka and Chodenji, as well as those of the private Shidaezakura school.
If one only looked at the uniforms, there were only a few people like him who came from ordinary schools. The others were either from a school for young ladies or from a prestigious school for developing super powers. It felt as if what was being taught was an important tutorial on developing super powers.
But in fact, the current courses have nothing to do with the development of super powers.
"Next, we are going to talk about the three major laws of dialectical materialism. The first is the unity of opposites. We must know that any thing in the world and any thing between things contain two aspects of contradiction. The two sides of the contradiction are both opposite and unified. The movement and development of things lies in the contradictory movement of themselves. The struggle and identity of contradictions, the universality and particularity are unified in objective facts..."
Fang Zheng, who was standing below, wrote a few lines on the blackboard.
"There is also the law of quantitative change to qualitative change. Everything is a process of quantitative change to qualitative change. When the quantitative change reaches a certain level, it causes qualitative change and produces new quality. Then, based on the new quality, a new quantitative change begins... Many of you here are people with special abilities. You were selected from countless people. Maybe you have the ability, or maybe you don't. So how were you selected to come to this Academy City? This is a process of qualitative change to quantitative change. If you have superpowers, but I only select one thousand people in the initial selection, and you happen to not be among them, then even if you have the ability, you will still be eliminated. On the other hand, if I increase the number of people selected to ten thousand, then it is very likely that you will be included in the selection and be selected. In fact, the same is true for rough stones..."
“Haha…”
Listening to Fang Zheng's voice coming from the headset, Shokuhou Misaki sighed helplessly. She naturally couldn't go to the research institute to find Fang Zheng. Now Shokuhou Misaki treated Fang Zheng like a mouse seeing a cat. Although the students of her faction returned to their original state after a day, Shokuhou Misaki would not be relieved because of this. It can even be said that she has a psychological trauma.
Because of this, she used the excuse that she was busy with classes and asked other students to help her bring her cell phone to the research institute...she wanted to hear what Fang Zheng was talking about.
Then……
"How interesting..."
Listening to the lecture coming from the headphones, Shokuhou Misaki narrowed her eyes and stretched out her fingers to tap the table lightly. She had to admit that what Fang Zheng said was quite novel and interesting. At least in Academy City, few teachers would focus on this kind of philosophical education. After all, Academy City focuses on ability development and ability improvement. This kind of philosophical content has no special meaning for Academy City.
But that's not the problem. The problem is...
"…Remember, the development and change of any thing is the negation of the old by the new, the result of the contradiction and struggle between the affirmation and negation within the thing, and the self-development process of the thing. However, negation does not mean total abandonment. The new negates the old and is then negated by the newer thing. All things develop in this way, and so does human social civilization. In ancient Greece, Hippocrates, the founder of Western medicine, once proposed the 'Four Humors Theory', which has now been overturned by the medical community, but it was regarded as the supreme truth at the time. Here we talk about the 'Four Humors Theory'…"
Hearing this, Shokuhou Misaki’s brows furrowed deeper and deeper.
Perhaps the students in the classroom did not notice anything, they just instinctively thought that this was a new and interesting philosophy and theory. But in fact, as one of the few Level 5s in Academy City, Shokuhou Misaki saw the danger in it.
That’s right, what Fang Zheng said was a complete subversion and overturning of the Academy City theory.
After listening to several of Fang Zheng's lectures, Shokuhou Misaki has already understood that what Fang Zheng is talking about is mainly about looking at the world objectively, understanding the world, and looking at the development and changes of things dialectically.
However, this is exactly the opposite of Academy City's educational policy. Academy City trains people with special abilities to break reality, cover the material world with their own reality, and firmly believe that the principles based on their own abilities are eternal truths, and use their own power to make impossible things possible.
But according to Fang Zheng's theory, if you can make the impossible possible, then it means that the thing itself is possible...
Will Academy City really let him continue like this?
Shokuhou Misaki was quite skeptical. More importantly, Fang Zheng's teaching did bring about a lot of changes, but the reason why it turned out like this... was the result of Shokuhou Misaki's own fault.
Although Shokuhou Misaki had recovered her control over her faction members in just one night, one night was enough to change a lot of things. Girls gossip faster than the speed of light, especially when it comes to things that are not considered confidential, they will definitely become the topic of conversation when the girls chat with their companions.
Coupled with the "recognition" of two psychics, Misaka Mikoto and Shokuhou Misaki, the name of the Quantum Neural Research Institute spread throughout the entire school garden in just one night.
At this point, no amount of mental control on Shokuhou Misaki would be of any use.
Because the information has been spread, it would be meaningless if she only brainwashed the people of her own faction, but if she brainwashed the entire school garden, it would definitely attract attention from above. As a psychic, she was already in trouble, and conducting such a large-scale brainwashing without permission would definitely be more troublesome.
It would be even more depressing if the higher-ups knew that I was making such a fuss just because of such a small matter...
But this is not the point. The point is that some people really broke through their bottlenecks and improved their ability levels after listening to Fang Zheng’s lectures.
This is why even students from the fog hill and long point aircraft come here to try it out.
Although many people don't know why that student was upgraded, Shokuhou Misaki is very clear. After all, although her ability is useless to Fang Zheng, it is useful to others.
The important reason why the child broke through the bottleneck was that after listening to Fang Zheng's teaching, he began to look at his own abilities and the principles that formed his abilities objectively. If he followed the teaching policy of Academy City, then assuming that the principles that formed his abilities were the truth, then it would mean that he would only be limited to this level for the rest of his life.
Because the Truth is so certain.
However, after listening to Fang Zheng's lecture, the child carefully reviewed the principle that constituted his ability and found that it had been modified or even overturned several times in the hundreds of years since it was proposed. This also gave the child the idea that "this principle itself is not perfect and there is still room for improvement."
It was this idea that broke through the idea that "the truth can never change, and my ability can never be improved" that had imprisoned her, allowing her to get rid of the mental burden and instead improve her ability level.
After learning all this, Shokuhou Misaki felt fear and uneasiness for the first time.
Indeed, Academy City is not a paradise, it also has a dark side, and even Shokuhou Misaki herself is a victim of this darkness. However, there are always various humane or inhumane sacrifices on the road of science, which is also normal, and Shokuhou Misaki herself has accepted it.
but……
But...what if the higher-ups in Academy City knew this and did this on purpose?
Let children believe in "scientific truth"?
According to Fang Zheng's theory, science is a process of constant negation, so the improvement of ability should be the same. However, the teachers in Academy City are like missionaries, constantly telling students to believe in science, believe in truth, and believe in scientific truth... So, what is their purpose in doing so?
Shokuhou Misaki had a premonition that there might be a darkness deeper than the darkness in Academy City that she had faced and experienced before.
This is definitely more than just an inhumane experiment.
To be honest, Shokuhou Misaki was a little regretful now. From the fact that Fang Zheng was immune to the abilities of two superpowers, and the fact that his teaching content was so targeted at the core policies of Academy City, Shokuhou Misaki could guess that the man definitely knew something and was planning something even without reading his mind.
Logically speaking, at this time Shokuhou Misaki should follow the principle that a gentleman should not stand under a dangerous wall and move as far away as possible.
But she is not a gentleman, she is a woman!
Not to mention that the other party had taken away her first kiss! She absolutely couldn't just let it go like this!
Even if you want to run, at least wait until you have avenged yourself!
Of course... before that... I just hope this man doesn't get dealt with by Academy City.
Logically speaking, this man is doomed to die in Shokuhou Misaki's opinion. The darkness of Academy City is far beyond others' imagination. Fang Zheng is just one person. If Academy City really wants to deal with him, it should be easy.
But for some reason, Shokuhou Misaki was very sure that this man would not be killed so easily.
After all, he was the man who took away her first kiss! How could he be dealt with so easily by Academy City?
...Hmm? Something seems to be wrong with the logic? Never mind, Shokuhou-sama doesn't care about that.
In fact, Shokuhou's guess was not wrong.
The reason why Fang Zheng took the time to talk about all this was certainly not because he was bored, but to - take over the magpie's nest.
That’s right, just like in the EVA world, where he finally usurped the power of NERV, Fang Zheng also planned to take over the Academy City in this world.
But what Fang Zheng needs is not the current pseudo-scientific city that is selling dog meat under the guise of sheep, carrying the red flag to oppose the red flag, but a real scientific city that is truly guided by scientific values. For this reason, he needs to promote his own theory and consolidate his territory.
Besides, as a magical girl and the god of games, why would he promote the Church of Science?
Damn it, from a religious point of view, I won’t promote your bullshit theory. Okay, if I want to promote something, it’s going to be magical girls and dark souls.
Aleister must have spent a lot of time on this Academy City, but... in the end, isn't it all a good thing for me?
Just like Ikari Gendō in the EVA world, he also worked hard for the Third New Tokyo City and NERV, but in the end, wasn't he easily defeated by Fang Zheng and Rabbit?
Fang Zheng is too lazy to start from scratch now. Wouldn't it be more convenient and quicker to just rob the enemy's things?
The Seventh School District is the core of Academy City, and the Garden of the Academy is the core of the core. Aleister can be turned into ashes with just a wave of his hand, so for Fang Zheng, consolidating the core is very meaningful.
Of course, Aleister and his damn angel were meaningless to Fang Zheng.
What's the good of a guy who is neither male nor female? It would be better to be more comfortable with young and lovely girls, right?
So Aleister, you just stay alive for now, and I will kill you when I have nothing else to do.
What Fang Zheng didn't expect was that the trouble came earlier than he thought.
On this day, after class, Franda came over hesitantly.
"Mr. Fang Zheng, I have something to ask of you..."
"Hmm? What's up?"
"Um... can you take care of Fremea for me for a while and let her live in the institute..."
"Um?"
Hearing this, Fang Zheng stopped, turned his head, squinted his eyes and looked at Flanda from head to toe. Flanda felt a little flustered and looked around nervously, as if saying "I don't know, I can't see anything".
But even if Flanda didn't say it, Fang Zheng could guess it.
"The Anbu are looking for you?"
"Why?!"
Hearing this, Flanda jumped up and looked at Fang Zheng in surprise.
"How did you know? Ah...!"
Having said this, Franda suddenly realized that she had let the cat out of the bag and quickly waved her hand.
"No, no, that's not what I meant. I meant that..."
"Don't worry about how I know this."
Fang Zheng waved his hand.
"Go tell the Anbu that you have signed a contract with me and will work for me. If the Anbu dares to cause trouble for you, I will kill them."
“Eh…? Huh?”
Hearing this, Flanda was completely stunned.
