Kryptonians: Man of Steel

Chapter 1469 Losing Your Job Will Lead to Death
In the bustling and noisy Tokyo, the capital and economic heart of this island nation, people of all kinds live.

They are busy trying to make a living every day. Rent, utilities, food and other expenses are like endless mountains, weighing heavily on the shoulders of every ordinary person, making it hard to breathe.

Prices in Tokyo remain high, especially for housing.

The rent for the tiny apartment was incredibly high.

For a small room of only a dozen square meters, the monthly rent may take up one-third or even more of a person's income.

Water and electricity bills also fluctuate with the seasons and usage. During the hot summer, when air conditioners run for long periods of time, the electricity bills are often jaw-dropping.

As prices continue to rise, food costs have become an important part of household expenses that cannot be ignored.

When I went to the supermarket to shop, I looked at the few items in the shopping cart, but the long number of items at the checkout made me feel nervous.

In the cultural context of the island nation, work is not just a means of making a living, it is more like a badge of identity and a symbol of social recognition.

Here, people regard work as an important manifestation of life value. A stable and decent job allows people to hold their heads high in social situations and be respected and envied by others.

On the contrary, once you lose your job, it’s as if you are labeled a “loser” by society. You will be looked down upon by people around you, and you may even feel abandoned by the entire society.

This concept is deeply rooted in people's minds, making them dare not slack off at work, and they have to grit their teeth and persevere even under tremendous pressure.

The influx of a large population into Tokyo has brought unprecedented challenges to the city and caused headaches for the government and many institutions.

Tokyo is like a huge magnet, attracting people from all over the country.

They have dreams and hope to find their own place in this prosperous city.

However, the rapid increase in population has put the city's resources under extreme strain.

In terms of traffic, the already congested roads have become even more overwhelmed.

During rush hour every morning and evening, the subway station is crowded with people like ants moving.

The carriage was packed with people, with almost no space between them.

In order to ease traffic pressure, the government had to implement a "traffic restriction order".

Based on the vehicle's license plate number and date, some vehicles are restricted from traveling during specific time periods.

Although this measure has alleviated traffic congestion to a certain extent, it has also brought many inconveniences to people's travel.

Those who originally relied on private cars for travel have to change their travel methods and choose public transportation or carpooling.

At the same time, in order to control the population size, the government issued an "entry restriction order" to limit the influx of outside population.

This policy has sparked widespread controversy. Some people believe that it is a necessary measure to protect urban resources and maintain urban order; others feel that it restricts people's freedom and their right to pursue a better life.

The Tokyo Metropolitan Totsuki Reigen Exorcist School, as a unique superhuman school, is also facing unprecedented challenges in this influx of population.

Students possess power beyond that of ordinary people, and they will shoulder the responsibility of maintaining social security and order.

The increase in Tokyo's population has led to an increasing demand for superhumans. With the emergence of demons, ghosts and superhumans, some supernatural phenomena and criminal incidents have occurred from time to time.

The government and society hope that schools can cultivate more outstanding superhumans to meet these challenges.

However, the school currently does not have the capacity to train so many people.

The school’s faculty, teaching facilities and resources are limited and cannot meet the sudden increase in talent demand.

At present, the school is only groping forward, constantly adjusting its teaching programs and enrollment plans to adapt to the needs of society.

When it comes to teaching, every student has his or her own unique potential and abilities, but these potential and abilities are not unlimited.

Everyone’s talent has its own “upper limit”, and the role of the school is to help students reach the limit of their talent as quickly as possible.

Therefore, the school will develop personalized teaching plans based on the characteristics and strengths of each student.

For students with strong spiritual talents, the school will arrange experienced spiritual instructors to provide one-on-one guidance.

The instructors will deeply analyze the students' spiritual attributes, abilities and potential, and tailor training plans for them. During the training process, the instructors will constantly adjust the teaching methods and adjust the difficulty and content of the training in a timely manner according to the students' progress.

For example, for some students with weaker spiritual control abilities, the instructor will start by teaching them the most basic spiritual release techniques, and through repeated practice and guidance, help them gradually master the essence of spiritual techniques.

For students who are talented in physical training, the school will arrange professional physical training coaches to provide training.

Coaches will develop a strict physical training plan, including running, strength training, agility training, etc.

At the same time, they will be taught various physical skills and combat strategies. On the training ground, students sweat and constantly challenge their limits.

At the same time, the school will also focus on cultivating students' basic skills.

In this dangerous world, it is not enough to just have special abilities. You also need to master most of the basic skills in order to avoid dying inexplicably and confusedly.

The school offers a wide variety of courses, including physical skills, swordsmanship, spiritual skills, and even courses on dodging and dealing with various hot weapons.

In the Taijutsu course, students will learn a variety of practical fighting techniques and defense methods.

The coaches will help students improve their physical skills through simulated combat. The swordplay course focuses on cultivating students' swordplay skills and kendo spirit.

Students will hold real swords and perform various sword exercises under the guidance of coaches, from basic sword postures to complex sword routines, constantly honing their sword skills.

The spiritual arts course is one of the core courses of the school, where students will learn the principles and applications of various spiritual arts.

The instructors will help students gain a deep understanding of the essence of spiritual arts through a combination of theoretical explanations and practical operations. Students will conduct various spiritual arts experiments in the spiritual arts laboratory to explore the mysteries of spiritual arts.

The courses on avoiding and dealing with various thermal weapons are designed to cope with dangerous situations that may arise in modern society.

In this era of highly advanced technology, thermal weapons have become a common threat.

The school will invite professional military instructors to teach students how to identify various thermal weapons, how to avoid attacks from thermal weapons, and how to counterattack when necessary.
