On how PhDs become human evil

Erica's heart skipped a beat as she helped the sleeping Liliana to her feet by Bai Jie's side. She had never seen the Godslayer show any compassion for his subordinates. According to Liliana, Bai Jie was just like Tony, the kind of person who was always causing trouble for others, and he would even play pranks on the Valkyries he summoned.

But now he's actually taking such gentle care of Liliana...

"...I never expected the king to have such a gentle side. Well then, I'll take my leave with Lily. Lord Andrei, please explain that matter to the two kings."

"Leave it to me."

Erica quickly carried Liliana out of the room, and after she left, Andrei looked at Bai Jie and Tony, and without a second thought—no, without even a moment's thought, walked towards Bai Jie.

"Magic King, there is something we hope to ask of you."

"Is it me, not Tony?"

"Because I'm certain this scumbag will make things 100% worse. Italy is already weak enough; if this good-for-nothing is allowed to run rampant, the consequences will be unimaginable."

"That's so mean! Andrei, I'd be angry too if you said that!"

"Shut up, you bastard!"

Andrei grabbed the spare bandages next to him and bound Tony tightly, making him look like a mummy. He did it with the air of breaking Tony's bones. Honestly, if an ordinary person were treated like that by Andrei, they would definitely have broken bones all over their body.

He must have been holding back a lot of anger and resentment, and since he finally had a chance to vent, he naturally didn't hold back.

After dealing with Tony, Andrei turned around and took something out of his inner pocket.

It was a badge the size of a fist, made of something like polished obsidian, with a crudely drawn portrait that looked like a human face and a pattern of dozens of snakes engraved on its surface.

The snakes depicted resemble the hair of the human face in the picture.

Many parts around it are blurred, and the stone itself is quite worn, making it look like a rather ancient object.

The moment Bai Jie saw the badge, he understood.

"——Sacred tool."

“As expected of the King, as you said, this badge is indeed a divine artifact,” Andrei said. “This is the Stone of Gorgon, a symbol of the ancient Mother Earth, a signpost that guides many goddesses to the path of those who do not obey her.”

Gorgon.

Bai Jie was familiar with this name. This Medusa also existed in the history of the Type-Moon world. Although the mythology of this world was a mess, it was still largely consistent with Bai Jie's understanding.

"Are you planning to give me this Gorgon Stone?"

"Yes. The Gorgon Stone is a divine artifact that attracts goddesses. If it continues to be kept in this country, sooner or later a disobedient god will surely descend upon this place. To be honest, this country no longer has the strength to bear the harm brought by the descent of a disobedient god."

As Andrea said, Italy is currently too preoccupied with the Sardinian crisis to deal with other matters. If it were to provoke a rebellious force during this period, it might take decades for Italy to recover.

Taking the Gorgon Stone from Andrei, Bai Jie laughed: "Well, I can understand your feelings. I was also involved in the Sardinian affairs, so I'll take care of this little thing for you for free."

"Thank you for your generosity, Magic King."

P.S.: Update

Section 200, Chapter 13: The Transfer Student Tactic Is Never Getting Old

Because Italy was already in a mess due to his and Tony's actions, Bai Jie had no complaints about taking the Gorgon Stone elsewhere. After all, showing consideration for subordinates was one of the king's duties.

However, to his utter surprise, just the day after he agreed, numerous magic societies in Italy had already forged all his identification documents and sent him to Japan.

Yes, Japan.

According to Andrei, Japan is an island nation, so even if a rebellious god were to be summoned, Bai Jie could immediately lure it out to sea, minimizing the damage.

Hearing Andrei say this, Bai Jie felt saddened. He was saddened that Japan had such a low status in the magic world. To put it bluntly, Andrei's behavior was treating Japan as a place to bear the battle between disobedient gods and god-slayers. Because of the entire Eurasian continent, no matter how much trouble Japan caused, it wouldn't affect Italy. They could rest easy and deal with the mess left by Sardinia.

Bai Jie didn't say anything about this behavior from the Italian magic community, but he felt compelled to express his opinion on another matter.

Why do I have to go to high school?

Inside a black sedan speeding through the streets of Japan, Bai Jie rubbed his forehead, the forged Italian ID document in his hand crumpled into a ball.

Incidentally, because Bai Jie is considered an unregistered resident in this world, he has no identity document and can only forge one.

In his fabricated identity, Bai Jie's name is another name he has used for eighteen years, Fafnir Schariac. His nationality is Italian, and he moved to Japan because of his father's job. The school he transferred to is an ordinary high school.

"Oh dear, Your Majesty, are you not satisfied with this identity?" Erica laughed. "I don't think there's anything wrong with this setting. Besides, Your Majesty looks only eighteen or nineteen years old. It's normal for you to be in high school."

Actually, Bai Jie really wanted to say that he was almost a hundred years old, but he figured Erica wouldn't believe him. After all, it's better not to let too many people know about the evil in this world.

"I just think going to high school would be boring, since I've already learned all the knowledge that's available to me now."

This is not a lie. The evil of this world carries all the knowledge of the Type-Moon world, which is not limited to the demonic path, but also includes the scientific knowledge that humanity has developed over countless years. In other words, Bai Jie is a walking super encyclopedia. Although the worlds are different, the knowledge of the surface world is still very similar, so there is no way that Bai Jie does not know something.

Therefore, it would be a complete waste of time for Bai Jie to go to high school. Even if you combined the intelligence and knowledge of everyone in that high school, they still couldn't compare to Bai Jie.

Hearing Bai Jie say this, Erica smiled and said, "Of course I know that the king's wisdom is beyond our reach, but it is the suggestion of the entire Italian magic community that you become a high school student. The reason is that the king has been fighting a series of battles recently and needs to rest. If you go to high school, the king should be able to get plenty of rest."

"Even if you say that, I still have this thing with me." Bai Jie took out the Gorgon Stone from his own storage space. "As long as I have this thing with me, the Disobedient God can find me at any time. Rest my ass."

The Gorgon Stone, to put it simply, is a transmitter, continuously sending signals to a rebellious god who craves it, directing the god to find Bai Jie. Even if Bai Jie can seal it with a barrier, it can't hold out for long. Once the rebellious god finds Bai Jie, the two will inevitably clash, and Bai Jie's high school will certainly suffer.

As if reading Bai Jie's mind, Erica said, "Being able to handle anything with ease, isn't that what makes a king?"

“…I’ve lost to you.” Bai Jie said, flicking his finger and striking Erica on the forehead with his Finger Flicking Skill. “Go back and tell the Italians that I’ll teach you a lesson after I’ve dealt with the Gorgon Stone.”

Covering her forehead, Erica realized that Bai Jie was starting to show some dissatisfaction, and quickly put away her joking attitude: "We were presumptuous and arranged the king's actions without authorization."

"Good. After you drop me off at that high school, you can all go back to Italy. I can manage on my own. Also, I have a question: is that high school really just an ordinary high school?"

"Yes."

"Could someone from the Japanese magic world have infiltrated this group?"

“This…” Erica really couldn’t guarantee that the Japanese magicians wouldn’t approach Bai Jie. After all, Bai Jie was still an unaffiliated Godslayer. In order to win over Japan, they might actually dare to send someone to contact Bai Jie.

Seeing that Erica did not answer immediately, Bai Jie understood the situation to some extent and said, "Forget it, we can just kill her when we encounter her. Consider it a warning to others."

--------------------------

As Nan Yun Shi walked into the classroom with his schoolbag and sat down in his seat, he heard that person's voice.

Good morning, Nagumo-kun.

"Good morning, Shirasaki-kun."

After hesitating for a moment, Nagumo Hajime responded to her, because he felt that if he didn't answer, the boys around him, whose eyes were already red, would definitely scold him after class.

Shirasaki greeted you, how dare you not respond?

Why should you, a shut-in, get to talk to Shirasaki-san?!

......

Nan Yun Shi could almost tell what the boys in his class were thinking just by looking at their expressions, since he had been living like this almost every day since entering his second year of high school.

Kaori Shirasaki, the name of the black-haired girl who spoke to Hajime Nagumo, is known as one of the school's two goddesses. She is incredibly popular with both boys and girls. She has long, lustrous black hair that reaches her waist, and her slightly droopy eyes give her a very gentle look. Her high nose bridge, small nose tip, and pale red cherry lips form a perfect profile.

She always has a smile on her face. She is very caring and has a strong sense of responsibility, so students from all grades often ask her for help. She always accepts requests seriously and never shows any annoyance. Her magnanimity is really not like that of a high school student.

However, for some reason, Shirasaki Kaori often strikes up conversations with Nagumo Hajime under various pretexts, which undoubtedly arouses the jealousy and resentment of most of the students (mainly the boys), and what's most deadly is that Shirasaki Kaori seems completely unaware of this.

Nagumo Hajime couldn't understand why a beautiful girl like Shirasaki Kaori would be so obsessed with him. He naturally didn't think this was the kind of romantic comedy that's popular in games or manga novels. He had long understood that reality and fantasy were completely different.

"Alright, everyone, get back to your seats, the class meeting is about to begin!"

Just then, Hajime Nagumo's savior—homeroom teacher Aiko Hatayama—entered the classroom. Thanks to her, Kaori Shirasaki quickly left Hajime Nagumo, and as she left, the murderous glares directed at him disappeared.

(Phew... I'm saved! Luckily I deliberately arrived late today. If I had arrived at this exact time, the class meeting would have started in a minute or two. I'll do the same tomorrow.)

Just as Hajime Nagumo was thinking this, Aiko Hatayama spoke from the podium: "Although it's sudden, we're having a transfer student join our class today. He's a boy from Italy—Schariat. He can come in now."

P.S.: I finished watching Ordinary Jobs these past few nights, and the most profound impression it left on me was—the hero is really a pushover! Every word and action of his exudes a pushover vibe. It's truly the first time I've seen a hero like this. Although I can understand the reasons behind his actions from the setting, I still think he's such a pushover!

P.S.: Because readers said not to break up the Nagumo Hajime and Tsuki's pairing, so—everyone please vote! I don't need to explain why you should vote, right?

Section 201, Chapter 14: Bai Jie: I, pointing to the heavens, beg for punishment.

Just seconds after Aiko Hatayama finished speaking, the transfer student from Italy appeared in everyone's eyes, and almost the moment she appeared, the girls in the class gasped.

Handsome.

Almost all the girls had this word in mind. They were all high school students and should have a good foundation in Chinese literature, but incredibly, the ladies could only use such simple words to describe the person in their eyes.

His hair was white, more pale than snow-white, but it didn't give off an unhealthy vibe; instead, it exuded a wildness. His eyes were deep red, seemingly weary, but behind that weariness lay an undeniable wildness, giving one the unsettling feeling of being stared at by a ferocious tiger.

Besides his signature white hair and red eyes, the transfer student is also very handsome. Even if he can't compare to those pretty boys who attract girls with their good looks, he has a mysterious charm that makes people reluctant to look away.

This transfer student was none other than Bai Jie, or rather, Fafnir Schariac.

"Clap!"

Hatayama Aiko slapped the podium twice to wake the students up, and said helplessly, "Alright everyone, I know that Schariac is very handsome, but please tone it down a bit and don't scare the new student! -- Schariac, please begin your self-introduction."

Nodding, Bai Jie looked at everyone and said, "My name is Fafnir Schariac, and I am seventeen years old, just like everyone else. I came to Japan from Italy because of my father's work. Although I don't know how long I will stay here, I hope you will all take good care of me."

"One more thing to clarify—"

Halfway through his sentence, Bai Jie raised his right hand, pointed his index finger at the ceiling, and slightly raised his chin.

"My mother said that I am a man who walks the path of kingship and rules over all things. Whether I like it or not, I will be someone that none of you here can ever surpass. I am making this statement beforehand because I don't want anyone to lose confidence because of my performance after the **."

If Bai Jie's first half of his self-introduction gave the impression of a gentle and refined handsome man, then the second half of his self-introduction felt like a tyrant speaking to himself.

To follow the way of the king is to rule over all.

What arrogant words!

The boys in the class were all going through puberty, and they were immediately annoyed when they heard this!

(Isn't he just a pretty boy who's a bit too handsome?)

(So ​​what if you're a foreigner? You'll see after school!)

......

Almost instantly, Bai Jie sensed several malicious attacks directed at him.
