After leaving the venue, Arisu Sakayanagi brought Fang Zheng to a secluded coffee shop a little far away.

“The coffee here tastes great.”

"Well...it's a bit particular indeed."

Fang Zheng nodded as he smelled the coffee in the cup. Although it was not as good as the coffee in Tiandao Palace, it still had some of Chino's skills, so it was pretty good.

Hearing Fang Zheng's answer, Sakayanagi Arisu smiled slightly, and then drank coffee and tasted cake. Fang Zheng also said nothing, eating his own pancake while drinking coffee - it felt like the two of them were having afternoon tea together.

Sakayanagi Arisu didn't say anything, and Fang Zheng didn't say anything either. He ate a muffin, and then ordered a cake, a sundae, and a croissant. He also ordered a latte and a tiramisu...

Anyway, you don’t have to pay for it, so it’s a waste not to eat it, right?

At first, Sakayanagi Arisu was able to remain calm, but when Fang Zheng acted as if he was going to order the entire coffee shop menu three times, she finally twitched her eyes and put down the coffee cup in her hand. Then Sakayanagi Arisu turned to Fang Zheng and showed a smile that was as soft and elegant as Lin Daiyu. It must be said that if you don't know her true face, just looking at this scene, almost no one would not be moved by this sickly and cute girl in front of them.

However, Fang Zheng certainly would not let his guard down because of this. Wasn't Kushida Kikyo the same? She ended up being a complete mess behind the scenes. And this Sakayanagi Arisu was not much better. He could feel that she obviously had some ideas now, but he didn't know what she would do. At this time, Sakayanagi Arisu also looked at Fang Zheng and asked.

"President Yuki, what do you think of artificial geniuses?"

"Artificial genius? What kind of nonsense is that?"

While eating the cake in front of him, Fang Zheng looked towards Sakayanagi Arisu.

"Don't people these days even understand the meaning of words? Genius means innate talent. And if it's innate, how can it be created artificially? Oh, of course, if we master the molecular level and can modify the genes starting from the fertilized embryo, then it can indeed be created."

“…”

Faced with Fang Zheng's answer, Sakayanagi Arisu's expression froze slightly, but soon returned to normal.

"So, President Yuki believes that artificially cultivated geniuses do not exist?"

"Of course."

Fang Zheng nodded without hesitation.

"Look, like me, I was born so handsome. When I was born, I was so charming that the little nurse couldn't walk. When I was in kindergarten, there were two groups of girls who wanted to marry me. After I went to school, people confessed their love to me every day. I had so many love letters that I had to use a truck to carry them... Haha, can you learn this? Even if someone wants to have plastic surgery to look like me, in the end, it's just a form without spirit. It's just an ugly imitation."

“Puff.”

Listening to Fang Zheng's words, Sakayanagi Arisu couldn't help but chuckle, then she raised her head slightly.

"President Yuki, you are exaggerating."

"I'm telling the truth. I'm restraining my charm now. If I were to show my full charm, every woman on the street would kneel down and beg to marry me. Do you think such a thing can be created by humans?"

Having said this, Fang Zheng curled his lips.

"Of course, as I said before, if you want to make genetic adjustments starting from the embryo, it is not impossible."

"Then, if we give them strict education and training from childhood..."

"That's nonsense. As long as you are not mentally retarded, you will definitely be stronger than ordinary people after going through high-intensity learning and training."

Fang Zheng rolled his eyes.

"But the problem is, how can you be sure that his performance is the result of his own efforts, rather than good genes? Some people can remember everything they see, and some can recite pi to countless decimal places. How can you prove that his ability to recite well is the result of education, rather than his natural intelligence?"

"this……"

This time, facing Fang Zheng's question, Sakayanagi Arisu showed a rare solemnity. Indeed, as Fang Zheng said, this kind of thing is quite idealistic. How can you prove that genius is artificially created? This is simply a paradox. As Fang Zheng said, genius is a natural talent. However, everyone's natural talent cannot be determined at birth, so you have no evidence to prove that you can artificially create a genius through acquired education.

It's like treating cancer. The patient takes medicine and the cancer cells disappear, but you cannot prove that the cancer cells disappeared because the patient took your medicine, and not because he was in a good mood or a superman suddenly appeared in his cells. This is why clinical research on drugs has a control group in which patients are given placebos, in order to determine this point.

However, cancer cells can be identified by instruments, and doctors can also draw conclusions about which patient is more seriously ill and which is less ill through examination.

But genius, what do you use to check?

Among the same group of children, how can you be sure that one of them is definitely a piano genius?

If you can't be sure, you can't compare and contrast, and it's even more impossible to draw a conclusion. Fang Zheng didn't know why Sakayanagi Arisu would bring up such a pointless question, but it didn't matter. Anyway, he could say whatever he thought, and he didn't need to bother to please the girl in front of him, so she could think whatever she wanted.

Sakayanagi Arisu was silent for a moment, then changed the subject.

"By the way, why did President Yuuki choose Sainan High School? With your grades, you can go to a better school."

“Because there’s no need.”

Facing Sakayanagi Arisu's question, Fang Zheng sneered.

"With my ability, I will definitely be number one no matter what school I go to. If that's the case, then it's up to me to choose which school I want."

"So...why did President Yuki choose Sainan?"

"Oh, close to home."

“…”

Sakayanagi Arisu really didn't know what to say. Of course, it was undeniable that she was still somewhat interested in Fang Zheng. Sakayanagi Arisu had also heard about Nanyun Miyabi's expulsion and then her revenge on Fang Zheng, so she rushed to the scene in advance and watched the scene curiously. She just wanted to see how the student council president of Ayanagi would deal with this thorny problem in front of her.

Of course, Arisu Sakayanagi was also prepared to do Fang Zheng a favor, but what she didn't expect was that Fang Zheng's identity was obviously much more complicated than she thought - the bounty hunter license alone was beyond Arisu Sakayanagi's understanding.

This also gave Arisu Sakayanagi an unprecedented sense of freshness.

As the leader of Class A in the Advanced Training School, Arisu Sakayanagi has always been very smart. No matter what she does, she will plan ahead and act after careful consideration. Because Arisu Sakayanagi is born with a weak constitution, she has always relied on thinking to deal with her enemies and opponents.

It can even be said that Arisu Sakayanagi quite likes this feeling. This kind of confrontation full of challenges and dangers always makes her feel excited and comfortable.

However, when facing Fang Zheng, Sakayanagi Arisu felt completely different.

To Arisu Sakayanagi, he didn't feel like an opponent at all, but more like a walking natural disaster, like a violent tornado, a pouring mudslide, or a raging tsunami.

In the face of such a natural disaster, human wisdom is meaningless. All they can do is scream, run, and wait for death in despair.

Of course, not everyone will surrender. Arisu Sakayanagi remembers watching a movie called "Storm Chasers" which tells the story of a group of Americans who specialize in chasing and studying tornadoes. Ordinary people would be so scared just by seeing the terrifying tornado that destroyed the world that they would turn around and run away. However, in order to study the mysteries of nature, they even took the initiative to drive their cars into tornadoes in order to release sensors so as to better study and explore the internal structure of tornadoes.

And now, in front of Fang Zheng, Sakayanagi Arisu felt like the protagonist in the movie, knowing that there was a storm in front of him that could completely crush him, but he still wanted to throw himself into it and fight it. Even if he ended up being crushed to pieces, he would not hesitate.

Perhaps because of her weak constitution, Sakayanagi Arisu's fighting spirit is much stronger than that of ordinary people. Because she is born with a weak constitution, a defective heart, and cannot even do strenuous exercise, she has no way to gain the joy of fighting and winning from a physical level. Therefore, she chooses to choose a target that can make her heart move from a spiritual level.

The stimulation that Fang Zheng brought to Arisu Sakayanagi was something that her opponents in school could never give her.

The bone-deep fear, trembling, despair and humiliation when facing an almost irresistible force, this feeling mixed together, gave Arisu Sakayanagi an incomparable excitement and stimulation.

It's like bungee jumping, some people are scared to death, while others just want to tie a rope and jump off.

For Arisu Sakayanagi now, Fang Zheng is his best target.

"Thank you for your answer, President Yuki."

Thinking of this, Sakayanagi Arisu smiled slightly and stood up.

“I hope we’ll have the opportunity to work together again in the future.”

"You'd better not cause trouble for me, otherwise don't blame me for being rude to you."

Fang Zheng rolled his eyes and continued speaking, while the latter smiled slightly and didn't say much.

"Then I'll take my leave."

"Wait... We agreed that you would pay for this meal, so pay first."

"……OK."
