After saying goodbye to Jiujiu Sakuya, Fang Zheng left Haoling Academy and headed for Pojun Academy. The biggest advantage for Fang Zheng now was that he could skip classes at will. Anyway, his power had reached the top group of people, so Jiujiu Sakuya gave Fang Zheng the power to move freely in the Academy City. As long as he did not leave the city, Fang Zheng could do whatever he wanted.
When he came to the gate of Pojun Academy again, Fang Zheng saw a girl standing there, but it was not the Stella he knew...
"You must be Kasugano."
The girl stared at Fang Zheng with a rather cold attitude.
"Come with me, President Dongtang is looking for you."
After saying this, the girl turned around and left, not like she was entertaining guests at all.
“…”
Fang Zheng didn't care too much about the girl's attitude, he just shrugged and followed behind her. He could almost guess why the girl had this attitude, because the girl in front of him was called Kurogane Jushizuku, Kurogane Ikki's sister, and it was said that the two of them had a good relationship. He had beaten her brother badly in the previous Phoenix Star Martial Festival... Well, it was understandable that the sister wanted to help her brother get revenge because she was so angry.
But brother and sister... This reminded Fang Zheng of some colorful animations he had watched before, in which the sister loved her brother deeply and was willing to sacrifice herself for him, and then she fell into evil and succumbed to him. Then, when the brother saw his sister hugging her enemy with a shy and coquettish expression, his face full of blood and tears was really... too exciting, wasn't it?
But there is a problem.
Even if they are enemies, if you slept with their sister, doesn't that mean you have an extra brother? Even if you don't acknowledge this, seniority still exists.
Or do foreigners not care about this? Speaking of which, the Japanese do not seem to care much about this. For example, when Oda Nobunaga married his sister Aichi to Asai Nagamasa, didn't Oda Nobunaga kill his brother-in-law? I remember Aichi remarried later?
Fang Zheng doesn't have to worry about this problem. Although he has dated other people's sisters, but...his brothers are dead, and there's no need to talk about seniority for the dead, right?
Thinking of this, Fang Zheng also looked at Kurogane Shuzuku who was walking in front of him with curiosity.
"hiss……"
For some unknown reason, at this moment, Kurogane Jushizuku suddenly trembled all over, and felt a chill crawling up her back, as if some kind of crisis was coming towards her.
Fortunately, the student union room was already in sight.
After arriving at the student union room, Kurogane Shizuku also left in a hurry. She didn't know why, but she always felt very uncomfortable staying with this man. She had a strange sense of urgency and crisis, but it didn't feel like her life was threatened... In short, Kurogane Shizuku felt that it would be better for her to stay away from this person who bullied her brother.
"Hello, Kasugano-kun."
Dongtang Daohua was the only one in the student union room at the moment. When she saw Fang Zheng, she quickly stood up and bowed.
"You're welcome. Anyway, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Although they were clearly in another school, Fang Zheng acted as if he was back home. He pulled up a chair and sat in front of the table, staring at Dongtang Daohua.
Of course he knew that Toudou Daohua had not asked him to come here to commentate on the school festival. After all, there were only three games in the semi-finals and finals. He could commentate however he wanted. What was so difficult about that? It wasn't like ancient times where writing letters was inconvenient. Couldn't he just communicate directly?
So Toudou Daohua must have something he needed help with, but he invited him to the academy to prevent any accidents.
It’s just… Fang Zheng really couldn’t figure out why Dongtang Daohua needed his help.
You know, the Dawn Organization and the Black Iron Family behind the Pojun Academy have no friendship, and the two sides can even be said to be enemies. In fact, Dongtang Daohua invited Fang Zheng to explain the Seven Star Sword Dance Festival, which was already a very disrespectful act to the Black Iron Family. After all, in the eyes of the Black Iron Family, the Dawn Star Pattern was made based on the Cutter, which is just a copycat. And now this copycat is arrogant and pointing fingers at them, the genuine Cutter... The Black Iron Family is probably furious.
Could it be that this student council president has a grudge against the Kurogane family, and came back to seek revenge after enduring hardships for thirty years?
However, at this moment, Fang Zheng saw an unexpected scene.
After closing the door, the student council president Dongtang Daohua actually knelt down in front of him, put his hands on the ground, and knelt down with his forehead against the ground!
“I’m so sorry!!”
"…What trouble have you caused me again?"
Seeing this, Fang Zheng's eyes twitched, and then he asked silently. He knew the Japanese too well. The Japanese were afraid of causing trouble to others, but in the final analysis, they were afraid of taking responsibility. Because Japan has a tradition of group bullying, but bullying also has to have a good reason.
Just like the US had to use "weapons of mass destruction" as a pretext to attack Iraq, the bullied must be at fault. And since they are at fault, they must take responsibility, and if they take responsibility, they will be bullied, so the Japanese are afraid of taking responsibility, and in order to avoid all this, they invented this apology method.
I'm so sorry! I gave you mushrooms!
Look, I've already knelt down like this, and if you don't forgive me for my mistake, then you're the one!
Unfortunately, Fang Zheng was the type of person who thought, "Why do we need the police if an apology is useful?", so even though Dongtang Daohua asked him to step down, he did not immediately ask her to stand up. You have to know that Dongtang Daohua is the student council president of Pojun Academy, and if she asked him to step down, it means that she must have caused a big mess for him, and Fang Zheng might even demolish Pojun Academy because of this.
Now that you've stepped down, I won't demolish it?
Is it possible?
A man's knees are made of gold, but you are a woman.
Therefore, Fang Zheng first had to know what Dongtang Daohua was up to.
"This... I'm so sorry..."
"Don't talk nonsense."
"yes……"
Under Fang Zheng's scolding, Dongtang Daohua finally spoke with tears in her eyes and explained the whole story. In fact, it was not a big deal. Just as Fang Zheng thought, Dongtang Daohua invited Fang Zheng to be the commentator of the Seven Star Sword Dance Festival. After the Heitie family found out, they immediately questioned her. However, facing the Heitie family's questioning, Dongtang Daohua actually said... This was Fang Zheng's active request!
"I heard that your Seven Star Sword Dance Festival is quite lively. How about letting me go and join in the fun and watch the monkey show?"
I have to say, after hearing what Dongtang Daohua said, Fang Zheng would have really thought he had said it if he hadn't said it himself.
but……
"Just for this? Why is that so?"
Looking at Dongtang Daohua, Fangzheng was speechless. What the hell was this? This kid got into trouble and went home afraid of being scolded by his parents, so he made an excuse "It was him who did it, not me"... You, the president of the student council of Pojun Academy, also do this?
"Of course it's not just that... Have you been watching the news recently, Kasugano-kun?"
"I've never been interested in that idiotic gossip."
Fang Zheng was basically too lazy to read those stupid news. After all, if there was any news that really concerned him, others would take the initiative to tell him.
You see, it's like this now.
After Dongtang Daohua's explanation, Fang Zheng finally understood the whole story.
The cause of this incident was actually Stella and Kurogane Ikki.
Although they were defeated miserably at the Phoenix Star Martial Arts Festival, Ikki Kurogane did not win the championship, but he did find love. In short, he and Stella started dating after the Phoenix Star Martial Arts Festival. However, not long ago, a photo of him kissing Stella was suddenly exposed.
Of course, in Fang Zheng's opinion, it's normal for a man and a woman to date and kiss, so what's so strange about that? But the problem lies in Stella's identity - well, at least that's what the news reports say. Not only that, according to the news, Kurogane Ikki deliberately deceived Stella, and he has been a bad boy since childhood. In short, the news reports all say that Kurogane Ikki is a bad boy who deliberately deceived Princess Stella, and this may cause international problems between Japan and Familion...
"Is there something wrong with the Kurotsuchi family's brain?"
After reading the news, Fang Zheng asked this question first. Although he was not familiar with Kurogane Ikki, he still knew the basic information of the contestant. If Fang Zheng remembered correctly, Kurogane Ikki was the eldest son of the Kurogane family. Even if Kurogane Ikki really had bad behavior, shouldn't such a thing be suppressed as much as possible and a big thing be reduced to a small thing?
And yet you spread the word so that everyone knows about it, as if you're afraid that others don't know that the Heitie family has such a loser...Did the head of the Heitie family get kicked in the head by a donkey?
"Wait, does that mean that Ikki Kurogane is not the son of the head of the Kurogane family at all, but someone cheated on him and gave birth to him?"
If this is the case, it does make sense. After all, even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. The behavior of the head of the Heitie family doesn't seem like how he would treat his own son.
It would be easier to deal with if they were not biological children.
"That's not the case... Kurogane Ikki is indeed the eldest son of the Kurogane family."
Hearing this, Dongtang Daohua smiled bitterly and hurriedly explained.
"What's the reason?"
"... I think Kasugano-kun should also know that although Kurogane Ikki is an excellent swordsman, he is rated F-level because of his lack of star power and low sword-cutting skills. As his father, Kurogane family head Kurogane Takeshi believes that Kurogane Ikki's existence will bring bad influences, and that this will make other low-class people have inexplicable expectations and self-confidence..."
“…”
My goodness, I really didn’t expect the Japanese to have such stupid logic.
After hearing Dongtang Daohua's answer, Fang Zheng was really speechless for a moment.
It is no wonder that for China, it has always been about man conquering nature. Since ancient times, the story of a poor scholar from a village studying hard, passing the imperial examination, marrying a lady from a famous family and bringing honor to his family has been circulated among the people, not to mention the story of kings and generals. Therefore, if something like Kurogane Ikki happened in China, it would definitely be widely publicized as a beautiful story of man conquering nature, overcoming one's own shortcomings and finally winning.
So when Fang Zheng first heard about it, he instinctively didn't think there was anything wrong with it. At most, it was just like the trash stream in many cultivation novels, where people looked down on them because they were considered trash.
But even if it is a trashy cultivation novel, you will still be respected if you show your ability. Like many cultivation protagonists, after showing their talents, although some people will suppress them because their own interests are damaged, there are also people who see the characteristics and talents of the protagonist and become his partners and backers.
But such a stupid excuse as the Kurogane family's...to be honest, no reader would recognize it in such a waste of amateur writing.
You said that the protagonist suddenly turned from a waste into a genius, threatening the ruling position in the family, so everyone accepted it by suppressing him.
After all, that's the reality.
But if you say that the protagonist is so dazzling that other weak people will also have the illusion of "I can do it too", thus creating a crisis for the system, and suppressing him because of this - then most readers will think that this force is stupid.
Unfortunately, the Japanese logic is so stupid.
In short, for this reason, the Kurogane family now wants to use all means to get rid of Kurogane Ikki and remove him from the list of sword cutters. That's why they made a big fuss about this matter, just to get rid of Kurogane Ikki with this legitimate reason.
But to be honest, this reason is really untenable.
It was indeed a troublesome matter for a princess of a country to have a lover while studying abroad, and it was normal to cause controversy. But the problem was that both Stella and Kurogane Ikki were no longer children, and according to the current legal age for marriage, it was legal for them to get married directly.
It was too difficult for the Kurogane family to get rid of Kurogane Ikki, so they gave Kurogane Ikki a chance.
If he could win the Seven Star Sword Dance Festival, then the matter would be written off. If he lost, he would be expelled from the competition and would be subject to the Ethics Committee.
Of course, on the surface, this matter seems normal, but since it was proposed by the Heitie family, it would be strange if there was no trick!
As the student council president, Toudou Touka naturally knew about what happened between Kurogane Ikki and Stella, and she was very angry about it, but what could she do?
So she came up with this idea, to let Fang Zheng do the commentary for the Seven Star Sword Dance Festival. Just as Fang Zheng thought, he was from the Dawn Organization, and the Dawn Organization and the Black Iron Family had been hostile to each other for a long time. If Fang Zheng found something fishy here, he obviously would not give face to the Black Iron Family, and would definitely publicize it so that everyone would know about it.
In order to take this into consideration, even if the Kurogane family wanted to tamper with the Seven Star Sword Dance Festival, they had to restrain themselves.
That's why Dongtang Daohua would act first and report later.
After all, everyone knows Fang Zheng's character, and the Heitie family doesn't dare to offend him, so Dongtang Daohua is clearly just using the big guns to take advantage of others.
"No problem, I'll help you with this!"
After learning the whole story from Dongtang Daohua and reading the news, Fang Zheng decisively gave his answer. He had no interest in Kurogane Ikki, and he didn't care about the man's life or death. But after all, he knew Stella, so it wouldn't hurt to help her.
Besides, look at what was written in the news. Ikki Kurogane has had a bad character since childhood, serious personality defects, and promiscuous relationships with both men and women. In addition to Stella, he has also dated multiple female students. His behavior is quite indecent, right?
Without looking at the name, Fang Zheng felt like he was making a veiled complaint.
What does it mean to have an affair with a girl? How can it be considered improper to have a relationship with multiple female students?
I call this fraternity? Do you understand fraternity?!
As the god of lust, would Fang Zheng just laugh it off?
Of course not!
But before that...
"I can accept your apology, but..."
Having said that, Fang Zheng stared at Dongtang Daohua coldly.
"You have to show your belly to apologize, right?"
"……Why?"
