Fang Zheng certainly did not do this out of kindness. On the contrary, he was planning to dig a big hole for Japan.
Obviously, if "universal flying magic" can really be completed, it will definitely be popularized in all aspects. As long as Fang Zheng designs a backdoor in it, it will be equivalent to grasping the lifeline of the entire Japan - the same is true for the gravity-controlled thermonuclear fusion reactor. If Fang Zheng really invents this thing and it is adopted by Japan, then it means that he can control the energy of the entire Japan anytime and anywhere... Nothing can be more convenient than this.
So on the surface, everything Fang Zheng did was to steal the role of the protagonist and complete the task of the world's will on his behalf, but in fact there was a deadly poison hidden in it, just like a Trojan Horse. If the world really swallowed it up, then the power of life and death over this world would be completely in Fang Zheng's hands.
As for how to create this "universal flying magic", it was not difficult for Fang Zheng. It was not that there was no flying magic in this world. For example, many users of ancient magic could fly in the sky like magical girls, but the problem was that it was their own unique power, not universal, and could not be taught to others, so it did not meet the "universal" requirement.
Fang Zheng also did some research on the so-called magic in this world, and found that although it was called magic, it was essentially the same thing as the superpowers in Academy City. According to the setting of this world, magic was an operation to change the information of events itself - to put it bluntly, it was like the superpowers in Academy City, using "personal truth" to cover "objective reality".
The so-called CAD, or magic device, is actually an external automatic calculation device. Magicians will program a program called "magic formula" into it, then inject the power in their bodies, and then activate the program to cast magic.
Just by looking at it, you can see how complicated this system is. Because according to this magic system, if humans want to create universal flying magic, it means that they have to constantly use the "personal reality" of "flying" to cover the "objective reality". In addition, they also need to estimate the angle and speed required for flying. Therefore, magicians need to perform a lot of very troublesome operations to fly. After all, magicians are only human beings. It's okay to do two things at the same time, but it's really difficult for them to do ten things at the same time...
This is also the reason why the problem of universal flying magic has not been successfully solved until now.
But in Fang Zheng's opinion, this method is simply too stupid. To put it bluntly, the method used by the magicians in this world is just like you want to cross the river, and then you desperately cut down trees to build a bridge, trying to cover the entire river surface with wood, and then walk across - isn't this stupid?
The reason why humans can stand at the top of the food chain is because of inventing and creating tools!
Is it faster for you to cut down trees and cover the entire river surface? Or is it faster for me to just build a small boat and row across? If I'm bored, I might even forget about the oars and just build an engine, right?
However, although Fang Zheng had an idea, he was not in a hurry. After all, redecoration took time. So Fang Zheng continued to live his life step by step every day, and at the same time he did not forget to conduct inspections as a member of the Discipline Committee.
Perhaps it was because of the incident on the first day of persuading Zhou, after that, wherever Fang Zheng went, almost everyone was as obedient as sheep. After all, Fang Zheng knocked down the entire fencing department without even moving his hands, and according to the witnesses at the time, the students of the fencing department were still preparing to release magic, but Fang Zheng just shouted angrily and knocked them all down.
This kind of power has completely exceeded the imagination of ordinary people. In addition, Fang Zheng has shown through his actions that he is not a person who will show mercy, so other societies immediately gave up their original hot-tempered behavior and obediently followed the arrangements.
After all, according to rumors, most of the members of the swordsmanship club had to rest for a while, which meant that the swordsmanship club had no fighting power. Other clubs recruited people to enhance their fighting power, but they didn't lose both the lady and the soldiers. That would be a big loss.
Because of this, the following persuasion week was peaceful and harmonious and ended smoothly.
Even Nanakusa Mayumi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
“It would be great if every year’s Persuasion Week could end as smoothly as this year.”
"So sometimes it's important to make an example of someone."
Fang Zheng spoke without any concern, not realizing that he was the core of the problem. When others heard him speak, they could only smile bitterly. As Fang Zheng said, although the first day, most of the members of the swordsmanship club were defeated and even punished, which caused the discipline committee chairman Watanabe Mari and the student council president Nanakusa Mayumi to be very busy, but as if to compensate for their hard work, everything was very peaceful and stable in the next few days. The club members no longer used that kind of tough method to win over the freshmen, and there were very few conflicts.
In a way, this is all thanks to Fang Zheng's initial tough approach of killing the chicken to scare the monkey.
But apart from Fang Zheng, no one else can do this.
"Anyway, the persuasion week is over, and everyone can finally put their minds back on track. As students, our top priority is to focus on our studies."
Nanakusa Mayumi clapped her hands and forced a change of subject, then she looked at Fang Zheng.
"So... Kasugano-san, regarding your activity room..."
"It's almost done. It will probably take two or three days."
Fang Zheng glanced at the information in his hand and answered casually.
"In fact, there are already rumors in the school now."
Ichihara Suzune also chimed in.
“Although that place is far from the teaching area, some people have seen signs of construction there, and some have come to the student union to inquire…”
"Don't worry about such trivial matters."
Fang Zheng seemed very calm.
"If anyone asks again, just tell them it was the council's decision."
"Okay, I'll consider it, but you have to be careful. There might be some curious students who might come over and cause trouble for you."
"hehe."
Hearing this, Fang Zheng grinned and laughed.
"If they can get in."
“…”
Although Fang Zheng's words were also filled with danger, the girls in the student union had already learned not to care about these trivial matters - after all, there was no point in caring.
After finishing his work in the Student Union, Fang Zheng left the Student Union room. However, just as he was about to pack up and go back to sleep, he saw a figure appear in the corridor and blocked his way.
"Hello, Kasugano-kun."
"Who are you……"
Looking at the girl in front of him, Fang Zheng raised his eyebrows. She had a beautiful face, a long ponytail, and was wearing a second-division uniform. If he remembered correctly, she seemed to be the kendo club member who persuaded the boys to confront each other on the first day of the week and caused the incident - what was her name?
"I'm Sayaka Mibu from Class 2-E. Thank you for your help before. I've always wanted to find time to thank you."
"You're welcome. That's just my duty as the Discipline Committee member."
Fang Zheng shrugged.
"If it was just a simple sword fight, I would just pretend I didn't see it. But since the opponent violated the rule of not using magic on others, I had no choice but to take action. You don't have to thank me."
"Even though you said that, I still want to thank you."
Hearing Fang Zheng's answer, Mibu Sayaka smiled slightly.
"Do you have time now? Can you accompany me for a while?"
"Um……"
After hearing the other party's invitation, Fang Zheng thought about it for a while.
Anyway, I just watch TV and sleep when I get home. The girl in front of me is a very beautiful woman. She seems to have a good personality, a good figure, and is pretty. It’s time to go home from school...
"Of course not."
Fang Zheng made a decisive decision.
Soon, under the guidance of Mibu Sayaka, the two came to a coffee shop not far from the school. After ordering drinks, Mibu Sayaka looked at Fang Zheng and spoke again.
"Well...thank you again, it was all thanks to you last week."
"You're welcome... Well, I think Mibu-senpai's reason for calling me here is probably not just to buy me a cup of coffee."
"…You saw through me."
Hearing Fang Zheng's words, Mibu Sayaka gave a bitter smile, and then her expression suddenly became serious.
"I'll be frank with you. I hope you can support us."
"What are you talking about?"
Fang Zheng took a sip of coffee and looked at Mibu Sayaka with interest. The latter stared at him and spoke.
"In a magic high school, magic grades are the top priority. But, don't you think it's wrong to decide everything based on this alone?"
"oh?"
Hearing this, Fang Zheng raised his eyebrows, while Mibu Sayaka continued speaking.
"Second-year students cannot receive instruction in practical magic techniques. There is no way to change the teaching methods. It is just because we do not have the ability. I cannot tolerate being looked down upon for my swordsmanship just because I cannot use magic well. I cannot tolerate being ignored. I will not allow myself to be completely denied just because of magic."
Having said that, Mibu Sayaka clenched the cup in her hand.
"So, we decided to form an alliance of non-magic sports clubs. We plan to set up an organization different from the club alliance within this year to show our ideas to the school. We want to tell the school that magic is not all we have. To this end, I hope Kasugano-san can lend us a hand."
"But why are you looking for me? You said that this is the idea of you second-year students, right? I am a first-year student. Is it okay to ask me to join?"
"Of course, we know very well that although you are a first-division student, you do not discriminate against second-division students like others do. Not only that, we also heard what you said on the opening day of the school. Don't you support us?"
"I see."
Hearing this, Fang Zheng nodded.
"I understand what you mean, Mibu-senpai, but unfortunately, I think differently than you do."
"……Why?"
"Let me ask you a question."
Fang Zheng stared at Mibu Sayaka and asked with a smile.
"What is the name of this school?"
"…The First High School affiliated to the National Magic University."
"That's right."
Fang Zheng snapped his fingers.
"This is a magic school, so naturally magic is the basis for decisions. A school that trains magicians doesn't use magic to determine grades, so what does it use? Is it appearance? Or cooking? Excuse me, Mibu-senpai, maybe magic is not everything to you, but I'm sorry, for this school, magic is everything - if you are not satisfied with this, then you can choose to transfer."
At this point, Fang Zheng snorted. He had seen this kind of thinking before. Those so-called statements like "one test determines one's future is not fair" and "a student's value lies not only in their grades" always resonate with many students.
Of course, these statements sound reasonable, but what is the reality?
It is unfair to determine your whole life through one test, but isn’t it even more unfair to determine it through methods other than testing?
The value of a student does not only lie in his or her grades, but grades are at least the criterion for judging the student’s value, right?
If you don't use grades to judge, what else do you want to judge by? Happy education?
"The same is true for the senior's kendo club. If a member of the club comes to you and asks you not to judge them by their kendo skills but by their paintings or literature, what would you think?"
“This… can…”
"Then, Senior, I have another question for you. Even if you tell the school your opinions, what is your goal? What kind of result do you want to achieve?"
“…”
Faced with Fang Zheng's question, this time, Mibu Sayaka remained completely silent.
"I, I haven't thought about it yet."
"I suppose so."
Fang Zheng was not surprised to hear Mibu Sayaka's answer. After all, he had already figured out that this beautiful kendo girl in front of him was probably bewitched by some public intellectual's chicken soup for the soul.
"Then please go back and think about this issue carefully."
Having said this, Fang Zheng stood up.
"Then, we will discuss the next issue."
