School cafeterias look the same no matter what world they are in - packed.
Because they arrived early, Fang Zheng and the other three were able to find a good seat. After ordering their meals, they sat down and started eating. At the same time, Chiba Erica also began to chat enthusiastically.
"By the way, we haven't thanked Kasugano yet. After your speech that day, the attitude of the students in Section 1 changed a lot."
"Yes, yes."
Shibata Mitsuki also nodded.
"To be honest, it's really hard to endure the sarcasm and ridicule of the students in the first department every day... But now it's good, I can finally study in a relaxed environment..."
"I just said what I wanted to say."
Fang Zheng shrugged his shoulders, appearing quite calm.
"And I'm not an egalitarian. In fact, I'm a power advocate."
"Eh? Really?"
"Of course, what I said before was not to ask students from Department 1 to treat students from Department 2 equally. This world itself is unequal. Students from Department 1 do have stronger innate advantages than students from Department 2. This is an objective fact and cannot be changed. But it does not mean that humans will give up just because it cannot be changed. According to this argument, humans are not as strong as elephants, not as fast as cheetahs, and not as good as eagles in vision. However, we have still become the masters of this world. The reason is... here."
Fang Zheng pointed to his head.
"Wisdom and competition. If our ancestors had simply surrendered because they were inferior to other animals, humans would not have become the masters of this world. We might still be like monkeys that have not shed their hair, being locked in a cage and admired by other intelligent creatures."
“I really can’t imagine that kind of future.”
Chiba Erica shook her head, and Fang Zheng chuckled.
"So it depends on whether it is healthy competition or vicious competition. Healthy competition is easy to say, just work hard to improve yourself and not let others catch up. But working hard all the time will be very tiring. But vicious competition is very simple, just suppress and insult those who threaten your position. On the one hand, it can satisfy your fragile and meaningless self-esteem, and on the other hand, it can also weaken the other party's will and ability."
“…”
"In my opinion, the class discrimination of the first-division students against the second-division students belongs to the second category. However, they are a group of little kids after all, so it is understandable that they want to be lazy... So now is the time to teach them a lesson."
Hearing this, Chiba Erica stared at Fang Zheng in confusion and blinked.
"To be honest, I had this feeling when we first met. Kasugano, you can't be older than us, right? When I talk to you, I always feel like I'm talking to a senior who is older than us."
"Uh-huh……"
Shibata Mitsuki also nodded beside her.
“It’s just a different experience.”
Fang Zheng mentioned it casually.
"As people experience more, they will naturally mature earlier. Of course, there are people in their twenties who still behave like children. After all, people are all different."
At this moment, a slightly bland voice came from the side.
"Excuse me, can you please sit here?"
"Um?"
Fang Zheng looked up and saw two girls holding plates standing not far from him. The one in front was a girl with short black hair and an indifferent expression, while behind her was a girl with twin ponytails who looked a little shy and uneasy.
"If I remember correctly, you seem to be..."
"My name is Kitayama Shizuku, and her name is Mitsui Honoka. Hello, Kasugano-san."
The black-haired girl greeted him again in a light voice, and Fang Zheng nodded, then made way for him.
"Of course, please take a seat."
"Thanks."
After expressing their thanks, the two of them sat down. It was then that Fang Zheng realized that the entire cafeteria was already full of people. The reason there were empty seats before was because the students in one subject had not finished their classes yet. Now that the classes were over, it felt like there were more and more people.
"By the way, aren't you guys working with Shiba?"
Fang Zheng asked curiously, and this time it was Honoka Mitsui who answered him.
"Shiba-san, over there..."
As she spoke, Honoka Mitsui gestured over there. Fang Zheng looked in the direction she said and saw Shiba Miyuki sitting at a dining table in the distance, happily chatting with her brother opposite her. Next to her brother sat two boys in the uniforms of second-year students. They should be Shiba Tatsuya's classmates.
"Ah, isn't that the freshman representative, Shiba Miyuki?"
Chiba Erica also looked over curiously, and then called out in a low voice.
"The one sitting opposite her is Tatsuya Shiba, right? Are they really siblings?"
"Do you know each other?"
"Ah, Mitsuki and I are in the same class with him. Oh, I haven't introduced myself yet..."
As she spoke, Chiba Erica casually pulled Shibata Mitsuki to introduce herself to Kitayama Shizuku and Mitsui Honoka, and the latter also responded.
"By the way, Kitayama-san, how was your course visit?"
Fang Zheng didn't intend to dwell on the issue of the brother and sister, so after both parties introduced themselves, he changed the topic directly, and Kitayama Shizuku nodded.
"all the best."
"Yeah, Shiba-san is amazing!"
Speaking of this, Honoka Mitsui, who was too shy to speak just now, suddenly became excited.
"She was able to answer questions that we had not learned, and she was not proud at all. She was very humble and polite. It was amazing..."
"By the way, where's Kasugano-san? Did you go to the internship course?"
Kitayama Shizuku seemed to be used to this situation with her friend, so she looked at Fang Zheng and asked.
"No, I basically just wander around campus and read novels."
"Hey? Is it okay to not go to class?"
"No problem. After all, I have basically learned all the teaching contents of the first high school."
"……Why?"
Hearing this, the four girls widened their eyes in surprise and looked at Fang Zheng. After a moment, Chiba Erica let out a breath and leaned back on the chair.
"Oh, by the way, you're also the freshman chief... although you're different from Shiba Miyuki. Really, are all chiefs monsters?"
"Then why do you want to study in No. 1 High School?"
At this moment, Kitayama Shizuku also asked in confusion, and Fang Zheng shook his head.
"So you don't understand. School life is very important. Such leisurely days will be gone forever when you enter society. Believe me, when you enter society and start working, you will find that these days are the most memorable. They are worth a fortune. You can only slack off and enjoy your youth now."
"...Although I've said this before, I still want to say that, Kasugano, you sound like an uncle..."
Chiba Erica complained, then laid down on the table in a very ungraceful manner.
"Oh, I really envy the students in the first subject. It's good to have teachers to guide them. We can only take online classes. Although we are free, there are some things that we still can't experience in person."
"In that case, how about I teach you?"
After hearing Erica's complaints, Fang Zheng took a sip of coffee and said, and the girls were shocked again when they heard his answer.
"Hey? Is this really possible?"
"Of course, as I said just now, I have already finished all the teaching courses of the first high school. I am free anyway. I came here to enjoy school life and to have fun. Of course, I don't mind finding something to do. If you are willing, I can be responsible for teaching."
“…”
Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Chiba Erica and Shibata Mitsuki looked at each other, then both lowered their heads towards Fang Zheng.
"I'm counting on you, Kasugano-san."
“We also hope to go further!”
"Okay, I understand. Then..."
“Well…!”
At this moment, suddenly, Honoka Mitsui on the other side also spoke.
"Can we join in, too?"
"Why?"
This not only surprised Fang Zheng, but even Chiba Erica and Shibata Mitsuki widened their eyes in confusion and looked at Mitsui Honoka.
"Mitsui-san, as a first-year student, don't you have a teacher to guide you?"
"That being said, Kasugano-san's magic is very beautiful, and I want to learn from it..."
At this point, Honoka Mitsui felt a little embarrassed. The reason why she cared so much about Fang Zheng was because of the battle between Fang Zheng and Hattori on the day of the opening ceremony. Honoka Mitsui was a magician of the light wave vibration system, so she was very sensitive to the light wave noise of magic side effects. In other words, if it was those imperfect magic, even if ordinary people could not see it, Honoka Mitsui could "feel" the noise pollution, which was just like seeing a stain that only she could see, making her feel uncomfortable.
But that day Fang Zheng was in the middle of a battle. Although no one knew what kind of magic he used, the light waves and space vibrations centered on Fang Zheng at that time presented a magnificent beauty that Honoka Mitsui had never seen before.
Honoka Mitsui will never forget what she saw at that time. It seemed to connect the heaven and earth and open the door to the truth. Just seeing that scene made her almost forget herself and become completely obsessed with it. If her childhood friend hadn't woken her up, Honoka Mitsui would probably have been immersed in it and couldn't extricate herself.
It's just that Honoka Mitsui is shy by nature and doesn't dare to take the initiative to contact Fang Zheng, but when she heard about such an opportunity, she naturally couldn't miss it.
“No…?”
"I don't care. I can drive one sheep or a flock of sheep."
Fang Zheng shrugged nonchalantly, and at this moment, his cell phone vibrated. Fang Zheng picked up the phone and glanced at it.
"Sorry, I have to take a call."
As he spoke, Fang Zheng stood up and left, coming to an empty area outside the restaurant, and then answered the phone. Then, a deep male voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Hello, young master. I'm sorry to bother you during your busy schedule."
"There's nothing to be sorry about. I have nothing to do anyway, Mr. Zhou."
This is also another identity that Fang Zheng set for himself, and the one who is talking to him is a man named Zhou Gongjin - well, Fang Zheng really wants to complain about this name, but considering that there is no Zhuge Liang in this world, he just calls him that.
And his identity here has to start with the background setting of this world.
In this world, initially there were two forces, the Asiatic Alliance and the Han Dynasty. However, several years ago, due to certain events, the Han Dynasty was annexed by the Asiatic Alliance, thus forming the current Great Asian Alliance.
The cause of the incident was that the Gaoli region of the Great Asian Alliance launched an attack on Japan, and then was defeated. Then they abducted Yotsuba Maya from the Yotsuba family of Japanese magicians and conducted human experiments on her. However, when the Yotsuba family came to the door, Gaoli put the blame on the magic research organization "Kunlun Fangyuan" of Dahan, which led to a battle between the Yotsuba family and Kunlun Fangyuan. In the end, Kunlun Fangyuan was crippled, and Dahan lost its core magic research power and had to merge into the Great Asian Alliance.
It must be said that the Koreans' move of using a knife to kill someone was really vicious, and they later put all the blame on the Han, so now within the Great Asian Alliance, the Han-dominated forces have a very low reputation. And they have no influence in the committee, instead, the Korean sticks and Vietnamese monkeys are jumping around, which is annoying.
Of course, everyone would not let this go. Not only did they want to deal with the Japanese Four Leaf Clan that had defeated Kunlun Fangyuan, they also wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of the group of monkeys and sticks that were jumping around.
After learning about the current situation, Fang Zheng decided to use this Trojan horse to massacre the city.
He would lurk inside Japan and work hard to improve his status, just like a policeman working undercover in a gang. If he could become the boss, then taking over Japan would be a piece of cake.
On the other hand, he would also cooperate with the Han forces lurking inside the Great Asian Alliance, and let them encourage the forces of Vietnam and Goryeo to invade Japan, and then Fang Zheng would take action to defeat them. In this way, the group of monkeys jumping up and down would not only lose military support, but also be defeated politically. At that time, the Han would take action to take down these guys in one fell swoop, and regain the dominance of the Great Asian Alliance. Fang Zheng could also gain enough capital to expand his influence.
This wave can be said to kill two birds with one stone. If everything goes well, it will allow the Han Dynasty to unify East Asia. Of course, Fang Zheng's ambitions do not stop there. At that time, he also plans to cause a war between Japan, the new Soviet Union, and the United States.
Just imagine that you defeated the Soviet Union, the United States and other national forces as a war hero, and then when the people were cheering and celebrating the victory, Fang Zheng took out his gun with a smile and said, "Sorry, I'm an undercover" - well, that feeling must be very sour.
Of course, it has to be kept strictly confidential before that. After all, as of now, the main plot of this world is obviously to make Japan strong, otherwise Tatsuya Shiba would not be the protagonist. So if Fang Zheng wants to defect, he must wait for the world will to believe that he is the hope of saving Japan, thereby diverting Tatsuya Shiba's protagonist halo. At that time, Fang Zheng can start playing "Infernal Affairs".
And now...
"We have received word that the pawn has crossed the border."
"very good."
After hearing Zhou Gongjin's report, Fang Zheng's mouth curled up slightly.
"Leave it to me from now on."
Then he spoke.
