Chapter 7: I was drowsy in class, but I was engrossed in watching the anime...
Zhi Xueya Karin had no idea that Xia Youjie's earlier statement of believing in her was just to coax her, or that it was only after the three of them had talked like this while she was asleep that she realized the future she was talking about could really be their future.
Gojo Satoru: It must be that Gojo Satoru and Natsume Suke were too incompetent; he and Suke wouldn't have done that.
Ieiri Shoko: I don't understand. Whatever, it's their business anyway, and it seems like she couldn't get involved from beginning to end. It's best if it's fake; if it's real, those two idiots have been reminded of their mistake, and hopefully they won't repeat it...
Xia Youjie: Eliminating all non-magicians... isn't that too extreme? Why would he think that way? Although I don't know why, but... we already know about this possibility, and we've already failed. If I do that again, won't Wu make me a laughing stock for the rest of my life?
It seemed that none of the three of them took the matter too seriously.
Karin Origami wasn't surprised. Shoko Ieiri was like a base NPC, mostly just watching the people around her make all sorts of life choices. And Satoru Gojo and Yuuki Natsuyu were both very confident; it was impossible to change them with just a few words.
She wasn't in a hurry; the seed had already been planted, and it would take effect sooner or later.
However, she was somewhat surprised. She thought Xia Youjie would be thinking about things a little, after all, our Jie-ge is someone who loves to ponder life, but after carefully observing, Zhi Xueya Karin found that... he didn't seem to be at all.
Perhaps because they didn't witness or experience it firsthand, their sense of immersion was relatively weak?
But... what Okiyuki Karin didn't know was that Natsuyuki wasn't without thought.
From that conversation onward, Xia Youjie felt somewhat lost, confused about the righteous arguments he kept proclaiming.
However... he soon discovered that a father doesn't have time to contemplate life.
In the morning, he has to get up earlier than usual. Because before class, in addition to taking care of his own breakfast, he also has to bring breakfast to wake up his daughter.
In the morning training session, besides practicing on his own, he also planned to train his daughter.
In order to learn how to train children, he even went online last night to research suitable exercise methods for children.
Zhi Xueya Karin thought that she wouldn't have to get up at 8 a.m. after transmigrating, but who would have thought that Xia Youjie would come to wake her up early in the morning.
Zhi Xueya Karin didn't want to practice. She didn't plan to spend the rest of her life in this high-risk world, so why would she learn these things?
However, Xia Youjie felt that she really needed it, especially after learning that she had died in the timeline of Zhixue Yahuali. Xia Youjie felt that the child would have no father after going back, so he wanted to seize the time to train her.
Zhi Xueya Karin really wanted to cry in front of him.
Of course, she didn't cry in the end. Yuki Ayaka tugged at Natsuyuki's sleeve and acted coquettishly, saying that she didn't want to practice.
When a child looks at you with their round, watery eyes and uses their soft, sweet voice to coax you, how can you not feel soft-hearted?
Anyway, Xia Youjie softened his heart.
He sighed helplessly, "Okay, but we can't do this again tomorrow."
Without thinking twice, Yuki Akahara decided to just get through today and worry about tomorrow later.
When it was time for the theory class, Xia Youjie was going to attend. Since it was all about spellcasting, he asked Zhi Xueya and Hua Li if they wanted to go along.
"Yes!" Karin Oriyuki answered decisively.
She was so curious about what the courses at the vocational college would cover; she wanted to go and listen in, and maybe she could even write it into a script later.
So Xia Youjie brought Zhi Xueya Karin to the classroom, obtained Ye Mo Zhengdao's consent, and squeezed in Zhi Xueya Karin as an auditor.
At first, Gojo Satoru and Ieiri Shoko were quite happy, thinking that having another child in the class would probably be a lot of fun.
Gojo Satoru was even thinking about how to tease Oriya Karin later, but after class, he found out... it was completely different from what they had imagined.
Previously, everyone would slack off, pass notes, and chat during class. But now Xia Youjie feels that this is not good and will lead the children astray, so he has started to listen attentively in class.
At the same time, he would keep an eye on Gojo Satoru and Ieiri Shoko, reminding them to pay attention when he noticed them slacking off.
Gojo Satoru and Ieiri Glass:?
No, what are you doing? Didn't we always slack off together before?
Xia Youjie didn't care; he would arrest anyone who didn't listen attentively, effectively becoming the class's discipline monitor.
Gojo Satoru and Ieiri Shoko both felt that this guy was possessed.
After class, Gojo Satoru and Ieiri Shoko immediately questioned Natsuyuu Seiji.
Gojo Satoru: "Jay, what were you doing just now?"
Shoko Ieiri didn't speak, but the look she gave him conveyed the same meaning as Satoru Gojo.
Xia Youjie replied very seriously, "Is there anything wrong with paying attention in class?"
Gojo Satoru and Ieiri Glass:? ? ?
Gojo Satoru pulled Ieiri Shoko along: "Shoko, you have to take a look at him, is he out of his mind?"
Xia Youjie did not dodge the hand that Ieiri Shoko reached out to touch his forehead. Instead, he looked at the two of them calmly and said, "Ayakari, a child, is listening so attentively. As elders, aren't you two being a bit inappropriate to be daydreaming in class?"
Karin Origami listened quite attentively. She wasn't born with a love for studying; she just enjoyed watching anime.
Yes, watching anime. For these anime fans, isn't this kind of mini-lesson on spellcasting theory just like reading an official setting guide? It's an immersive experience.
When I'm in class, I feel drowsy and just want to slack off and play on my phone. But when I'm watching anime, I'm completely absorbed and even want to take out my notebook to jot things down.
Xia Youjie was very satisfied with his daughter's positive attitude towards learning, but was dissatisfied with the negative attitude of his two classmates.
“You should set a good example for the younger generation,” he said to his two contemporaries.
Gojo Satoru and Ieiri Glass: "..."
Alright, Ieiri Shoko put down her hand and gave her diagnosis: "Paternal love has taken over his brain, he's beyond saving."
Xia Youjie: "..."
Kaori, who was watching intently from the side, almost couldn't help but laugh.
She was also curious why the three people had been so well-behaved in class, which was completely different from what she had imagined—they were all making all sorts of little fuss. She realized it was because of this.
Okiya Karin was overjoyed.
As it turns out, the Pyromancy Academy is indeed a school, and it actually teaches things; it's not just about gorillas fighting.
Some common knowledge about sorcery, the application of spells, the history of the sorcery world, introductions to the fighting styles and weaknesses of some common sorcerer spirits, and popular science about some well-known spells, from the Gojo family's no-holds-barred methods and the Zenin family's ten shadow spells to some more common spells.
There are even folk legends to listen to. It is said that many cursed spirits are born from people's fear or awe of these ancient legends. Therefore, knowing more about this kind of knowledge can help sorcerers quickly judge the type, fighting style and possible weaknesses of such cursed spirits when they encounter them.
These things were pure materials for Yuki Aka, so she listened very attentively in every class.
But Gojo Satoru and Ieiri Shoko weren't exactly thrilled.
This is not what they expected.
Xia Youjie, thinking that they shouldn't lead the children astray, kept a close eye on them and made sure they listened attentively in class. This gave Gojo Satoru and Ieiri Shoko the feeling that they had agreed to joke around together, but the other party betrayed the organization halfway through.
So Gojo Satoru and Ieiri Shoko began to dislike Iori Yuki and Karin coming to class with them.
Is this a question of whether or not Yuki Ayakari goes to class? It's one child attending class, and three people are accompanying them!
Gojo Satoru began trying to bribe Oriyuki Karin: "Little Karin, I'll treat you to something delicious, can you please not come to class?"
Zhixue Yahuali: "..."
Who asked for your food?
She turned to Xia Youjie and revealed Wu Tiaowu's story: "Dad, he told me not to come to class anymore."
Xia Youjie: ?
Who is corrupting my daughter?
Gojo Satoru:?
No, why would you tell your parents?
In the end, Gojo Satoru still couldn't stop Oriyuki Karin from coming to follow the setting—no, I mean, to attend class.
Night Moth Masamichi was deeply moved by the child's serious attitude towards learning. He hadn't encountered such a diligent and hardworking student in a long time, and his enthusiasm for teaching had increased considerably.
After class, when it was time for a meal, Xia Youjie still had to consider Zhi Xueya Huali's diet.
Before, it was just him, Gojo Satoru, and Ieiri Shoko, and they could eat whatever they wanted. But now it's different; he has to consider whether his child's diet is nutritious. There has to be fruit, milk, and a balanced mix of meat and vegetables.
Oh right, we also need to consider the personal preferences of Oriyuki Karin.
In the evening, after sending Yuki Ayaka back to her room, he returned to his own dormitory and was still worried about whether Yuki Ayaka could take care of herself by herself, whether she would feel bored, whether she would be afraid of the dark at night, and whether she would go to sleep obediently at the appointed time.
After thinking about it for a while, Xia Youjie couldn't help but shake his head, thinking helplessly, "Why am I thinking so much? Do they really think of me as their father?"
Hmm... maybe people tend to overthink things at night.
But speaking of which... it's late at night, will Akari miss her father?
Of course, Xia Youjie was referring to Zhi Xueya Huali's real father, not him, the father she had adopted.
Then I started worrying again. What if Akari goes back to the original timeline? Will she be very sad? She said earlier that she was going to ask Satoru for help to fight the bad guys. Was she being bullied? With Satoru's personality, even if he becomes a teacher, he probably won't be able to stay calm, right? Can he really take good care of Akari?
Then, as he pondered this, Xia Youjie began to question himself late at night—why did he have to befriend someone as unreliable as Wutiao Wu? He could only entrust his child to this kind of guy even after he died.
Gojo Satoru next door: "Achoo! Achoo!"
He rubbed his nose: "Damn it, I caught a cold?"
