Chapter 40 You fainted Naoya again from a distance
383
Wujiang couldn't figure out some of the things he wanted to figure out, so he didn't even have an appetite to eat. He was full after eating only two bowls of rice from the cafeteria's big pot.
But you, who ate ten bowls of rice in the cafeteria for lunch, had a completely different situation from Wu-chan, because you suddenly got enlightened!
You sat up straight, just like when you first started class, with the determination to listen attentively. With a very serious expression, you said to Wu-chan, "I figured out something very important."
Wu-chan and Jie-chan were immediately affected by your expression, and they couldn't help but sit up straighter, putting on very serious expressions.
Jie even felt regretful that he had underestimated you. After all, you do have outstanding talents in some areas, don’t you?
As a hard-working genius, Jie-chan sometimes dares not look directly into the eyes of a gifted genius - especially your eyes, after all, this is the source of Jie-chan's nightmares.
Just like that, your male classmates stared at you intently without saying a word, watching the serious expression on your face as you spoke with extraordinary solemnity, "Actually, my favorite food is the food in the cafeteria!"
384
Gojo Satoru and Geto Suguru: "..."
385
Looking at the disappointed expressions of Wu-chan and Jie-chan, and seeing them suddenly look deflated and uninterested, you felt a huge gap.
Isn’t this a very important thing? You know, you know what your dear classmates like to eat the most!
But your classmates have no idea what your favorite food is. Because you were influenced by the Hokkaido brochure last time and took everyone to Hokkaido to eat crabs, they thought your favorite food was crab!
Actually, that’s not the case at all! Your favorite is the big pot meal in the cafeteria!
And isn’t it very important to know what you like and have things that you like?
You said loudly to Wu-chan and Jie-chan, "The food in the cafeteria is generous, filling, and nutritionally balanced, which is hard to find in restaurants outside!"
At this moment, Wu-chan's memories suddenly began to attack him!
He remembered how the terrifying Great Demon King Arisa had taken control of the entire world of sorcery, forcing everyone to live an intense life of studying from birth to death, and forever living on a "healthy" diet consisting of only the cafeteria's hodgepodge of dishes and only drinking water and milk from vending machines...
The taste of the sweet, salty and spicy hodgepodge in the horrible nightmare world seemed to flood into Wujiang's taste buds once again and began to attack Wujiang's tongue frantically!
This horrible smell made Wujiang, who already had a poor appetite, even more unable to eat the third bowl of rice!
Wujiang's expression gradually changed. Under your stimulation, Wujiang, who originally couldn't understand it, suddenly understood it!
Just like that, Jie-chan watched Wu-chan's expression change again and again, until he finally realized something and turned into the same seriousness as you.
Wu-chan said to you with a very serious expression and a very solemn tone: "Arisa, promise me that no matter how delicious the big pot food in the cafeteria is, its dishes must be separated. It can't really become a hodgepodge made in one pot!"
You carefully considered the suggestion made by Wu-chan, and then shook your head: "I'm sorry, Wu, I can't agree to this."
Hearing this, Wu-chan looked at you in disbelief. He asked you in a heavy tone, "Why? Is the sincere love between us not as good as the cafeteria? Is it not as good as the big pot of food?"
"Of course not!" You stood up from your seat, extremely excited, and tightly grasped Wu-chan's hand. You said to him, "The feelings between us are of course better than any food! Whether it's those expensive dishes outside or the cheap dishes in the cafeteria, of course they are not qualified to compare with the feelings between us. After all, true love is priceless, and priceless is the most expensive!"
You touched Wujiang's hand and explained your philosophy to him, but Wujiang became even sadder because of your words. He turned his face away with a sad face, as if talking to himself, and said: "Since the love between us is so precious, why can't you agree to me?"
“Of course, that’s because I’m not the chef in the cafeteria!!” You said to Wu-chan, “So whether to stir-fry them separately or put them all in one pot is not something I can decide at all!!”
Seeing you guys yelling at each other emotionally for no apparent reason because of this question, Jie-chan: "..."
"So you're so serious just to discuss this?"
Wu-chan and you both turned to stare at Jie-chan, and you both said in unison, "Isn't this a very important matter!"
Jie-chan: “…”
There is nothing that I don’t like to eat, but I don’t really understand you.
386
Although Wu-chan was not able to have a deep discussion with you about spells, he did have a deep discussion with you about the cafeteria's big pot meals.
This is also a gain!
After getting your assurance that "if I could decide how to cook the cafeteria dishes, I would never cook all the ingredients in one pot", and after asking you to swear in the name of the spell, Wu-chan finally showed a look of relief.
387
Wu-chan feels relieved after receiving your assurance, but all the relatives of your Zenin family are worried!
But the Zenin family is certainly not uneasy because you love to eat in the cafeteria. Their uneasy feeling is of course because of the curse!
The news that you have mastered ten shadow spells quickly spread throughout the entire Jujutsu High School, and quickly spread out of the Jujutsu High School and back to the Zenin family!
Your parents' status has risen because of you, and they are finally qualified to sit in the meeting room of the Zenyuan family. After hearing the news, they hugged each other and cried again.
They were so excited and happy that they almost fainted again.
Because whether in Zen monasteries or in the world of spells, the "traditional" customs are still prevalent - in fact, the feudal customs.
Compared with those trendy techniques, the magic world and those big magic families still prefer some ancient and traditional techniques.
However, the times are changing rapidly nowadays, and the spellcasters' techniques are also changing with the times. For example, the current head of the Zenin family, Zenin Naohito, and his only son, Zenin Naoya, their technique - projection spell, was born based on the principle of video recording.
However, the history of video recorders, which were only invented in modern times, is a bit too short.
Whether in the world of spells that advocate simplicity and tradition, or in the Zenin family that advocates the Zenin family's top spell "Ten Kinds of Shadow Spells", the spell of "projection spells" is actually not the highest level.
Although the principle of video recording is closely related to traditional "shadow" techniques, compared to the "projection spell", everyone in the Zenyuan family still prefers the "Ten Kinds of Shadow Spells"!
The biggest reason why Zenin Naohito was able to become the head of the family was not because his technique was "casting spells", but because he was the most powerful spellcaster of that generation in the Zenin family at that time.
The Zenyuan family is such a simple feudal family where whoever is the most powerful has the final say.
Of course, the "most powerful" person must be a sorcerer - after all, this is also the most important part of the inherent setting that the Zenin family cannot abandon: "Those who are not Zenin are not sorcerers, and those who are not sorcerers are not human beings."
388
In the Zenin family’s special meeting room, the expressions of your entire family were far more serious than the expressions of you, Wu-chan, and Jie-chan in the cafeteria.
Your relatives had a heated discussion about your surgical procedure!
Including but not limited to——
Topic 1: Can Arisa Zenin become the next head of the Zenin family?
Topic 2: Should Arisa Zenin drop out of Tokyo High School immediately and go home to receive the traditional feudal education of the Zenin family and become a standard "Zenin person"?
389
Topic 1, after someone suddenly raised the awkward question, "Although Zenin Arisa is not the head of the family now, every time she puts forward an opinion, we always listen to her," he withdrew from the discussion.
Topic two, after someone questioned topic one and everyone fell into an awkward silence, someone suddenly brought up the question again, "So far, half of the big disturbances that Zenin Arisa has caused at home are due to promiscuity, and the other half is because she wants to study. So if you don't want her to go to school, who would dare to make her drop out?" This more thought-provoking question made everyone even more silent.
As everyone knows, you are a great genius who has shown your talents at a young age in the Chanyuan family - that is, you have fought with your relatives - although the time you have spent in the Chanyuan family is not even as long as the time you ran away from home, your every move is watched by everyone in the Chanyuan family!
Some of them even think they know you very well and know your affairs better than their own!
If there is a course called "Arisagaku", given the arrogance of some of your relatives, they will definitely be conceited and think that they have mastered everything and can get full marks!
This is your position in the Zen temple!
This is the attention you receive as Zenin Arisa!
390
But just like your cousin Zenin Naoya, he would deceive himself into thinking that he is on the same level as you, Wu-chan, and Shinji.
So your relatives will also deceive themselves into thinking that, although no one in the entire Chanyuan family can beat you, and although no one in the Chanyuan family can oppose you every time you ask for something, in their eyes—
The Zen temple's Zhibiren is also the head of the family, so this family cannot be ruled by you, a minor!
Just as they have always been unwilling to accept the fact that the "Heaven and Curse" Zen Temple has no magic power, it is actually stronger than them.
"Deceiving oneself and others" is also a major tradition of Zen temples that cannot be ignored!
391
You and Wu-chan discussed it for a long time in the cafeteria and finally came to your conclusion.
However, so many people from the Zen Temple discussed it for a long time in a very formal meeting room, but they couldn't come to any conclusion!
They looked at each other awkwardly and avoided the topics awkwardly.
In the end, they left the case without any conclusion.
392
A few days before entering Kyoto High School, Naoya-chan suddenly learned that you had mastered the "Ten Shadow Magics". On this day, he felt like the world had completely collapsed.
Naoya-chan's eyes went dark, and he turned away with even less determination than your parents!
