On how PhDs become human evil

(Looks like the provocation worked.)

Bai Jie didn't just blurt out such blunt truths. Although he was dissatisfied with Erica's arrangements, he agreed with her suggestion to take a break. He didn't want his high school life to be disturbed by some insignificant characters.

Moreover, Bai Jie's main purpose in coming to Japan was to deal with the Gorgon Stone, and he really didn't want to waste his energy dealing with some fool.

That's why Bai Jie said those things, even though it was indeed the truth.

Because of this, Bai Jie knew who in the class he needed to pay attention to. Coincidentally, when he went to the office to see Hatayama Aiko before, he saw the class attendance list and knew the names of all the students in the class.

(The one who glared at me the fiercest was Daisuke Hiyama, followed by Yoshiki Saito, Reiichi Kondo, Shinji Nakano... Hmm, I'll have to talk to them after school.)

Even Bai Jie occasionally longs for the life of a handsome office worker.

Hatayama Aiko was also startled by Bai Jie's shocking remarks, but as his homeroom teacher, she quickly recovered: "Shaniat, please don't say such frightening things. It will ruin your relationship with your classmates."

"I'm sorry, teacher, but my mother repeatedly told me that I must not lose face in a foreign country and that I must show the Italian spirit to the Japanese."

(Your mom is definitely messing with you!!!)

The whole class roared inwardly.

With a sigh, Aiko Hatayama said, "That concludes the self-introductions. If you have any questions, please ask them after class. Now, regarding Shaniat's seat... Yaegashi is alone, right?"

Aiko Hatayama refers to the second-to-last position in the second column by the window.

"No, teacher, this is Endo's seat."

"What?! I'm so sorry, Endo-kun, I forgot you were here again! I'm so sorry!"

At this moment, Bai Jie noticed that there was still someone sitting in the seat he thought was empty, because his presence was so weak that even Bai Jie didn't notice him at first.

(What terrifying ability to conceal one's presence! It's a real shame they're not thieves or assassins!)

If Kal'tsit were to see him, she would definitely recruit him into Rhodes Island's secret service. After all, with such a weak presence, it means he could easily become a top-notch assassin, helping Rhodes Island handle most things behind the scenes.

It's a pity I was born in such a peaceful environment.

"In that case, we'll have to go to the warehouse to get spare desks and chairs. There's still some time before class starts. Are there any boys willing to go?"

As soon as Aiko Hatayama finished speaking, Daisuke Hiyama stood up: "In that case, I'll go. The new student is new and probably doesn't know the school well yet. I'll lead the way."

Even without mind-reading abilities, Bai Jie could tell what Daisuke Hiyama was thinking. Warehouses, places that are rarely visited, are perfect locations for violence, and countless dirty things have happened there.

"Hiyama——"

"Alright then, I'll leave it to you, Daisuke Hiyama."

It seemed that someone in the class knew about Daisuke Hiyama's character. However, just as the brown-haired boy was about to say something, Bai Jie interrupted him with a smile and then left the classroom with Daisuke Hiyama.

Watching the two leave, the brown-haired boy, Amanokawa Mitsuru, sat back down with a worried expression. He knew what kind of person Hiyama Daisuke was, which was why he had stood up to replace him earlier.

(Hopefully nothing bad will happen.)

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

As Bai Jie expected, the warehouse was a mess. Various equipment was piled up haphazardly, and a thick layer of dust had accumulated on the floor. There was a musty smell inside, indicating that no one had cleaned or ventilated it for a long time.

“The desks and chairs are right there. Take one each and bring it back.” Daisuke Hiyama, who was walking in front, pointed to a set of desks and chairs not far away. “But before that, transfer student, I need to show you the Japanese way of hospitality.”

Daisuke Hiyama turned around with a fierce look on his face and pulled a butterfly knife from his pants pocket.

"It was originally prepared for that kid Nan Yun, but I'll use you to test its sharpness first. Anyway, there are plenty of sharp things here, so just say you got cut."

"Yes, that's what I was thinking too." To Daisuke Hiyama's surprise, Bai Jie's face did not show any panic. "The light here is very dim, and there is no light at all in the depths, so even if I beat you half to death, I can say it was a fall from a height or a bruise."

Daisuke Hiyama didn't understand Bai Jie's meaning immediately, but he understood it in a second.

"boom--!"

Bai Jie slapped him across the face with incredible force, sending him flying and crashing heavily into the nearby sports equipment storage area.

quack quack!

After stretching his arms and legs, Bai Jie set up a barrier to disperse the onlookers and a soundproof barrier before walking over and pulling Hiyama Daisuke up.

"There are still five minutes before class starts, so let's spend this time together, Daisuke Hiyama."

These were the last words Daisuke Hiyama heard, and the next moment, Bai Jie's fist, as big as a sandbag, slammed into his face.

P.S.: I suddenly had a stomachache when I was typing 1800 words, but I forced myself to finish and then quickly went to the toilet.

P.S.: Please consider giving me a tip, a recommendation, or a monthly pass in recognition of how hard I've worked!

Section 202, paragraph 15: Life is like a play, it's all about acting.

Bai Jie is not a cruel and heartless person. Although he can laugh as he ties up and buries alive the devilish scientists who wantonly conduct human experiments, he still knows that he cannot kill ordinary people casually.

Of course, he is a god-slayer, one of the seven demon kings in the world. Killing an ordinary person would be no big deal, and the Japanese magic community might even be grateful after learning the truth.

The fact that the Demon King's anger was appeased by the death of just one person is an extreme act of magnanimity for a god-slayer. Normally, Japan could have suffered as a result.

So Bai Jie didn't care about killing anyone. But as he had said before, he wanted to live a peaceful life for a while and avoid causing any trouble. So it was better to avoid doing things that would disturb his peaceful life, like causing someone's death.

Therefore, Bai Jie beat Hiyama Daisuke until he was paralyzed on one side, healed him with magic, and then beat him until he was paralyzed on one side again.

The above actions were repeated eight times in three minutes. Considering that it would take time to move the table back to the classroom, Bai Jie stopped there.

Glancing at Daisuke Hiyama lying on the ground, whose mental state had been shattered by his beating, Bai Jie couldn't help but sigh: "So my methods were a bit too harsh after all? That's right, you can't compare ordinary students to those devilish scientists."

Even if a delinquent student carries a knife with him, he is still just a little kid at heart.

"Well, I can't just leave my future classmate here like this, that would make me seem too heartless." Thinking this, Bai Jie placed his hand on Daisuke Hiyama's forehead. "[Daisuke Hiyama, go to the infirmary yourself and say you accidentally tripped and fell in the warehouse]."

Sometimes, mind manipulation magic can be really useful.

————————————————————————————

High school life was not beyond Bai Jie's expectations.

The most basic mathematics was incredibly simple, English was even worse than the CET-4 and CET-6 exams, physics, chemistry and biology were at a beginner level, and history was limited to the surface of the world... If there was anything that Bai Jie found difficult, it was Chinese literature. Reading comprehension was something Bai Jie had always been bad at.

Who knows why such a mundane sentence could elicit so many underlying emotions? To Bai Jie, it was all perfectly normal conversation, okay? Did the person who created the exam have an incredibly wild imagination or something?!

Isn't it natural to look at a friend's back when they turn around? What else can you look at if not their back?

Is it strange to say goodnight before bed? Why bring up the state of the country at that time?

......

"As expected, I'm still not good at Chinese."

During lunch break, Bai Jie, who was lying on the table, said this.

The last Chinese class of the morning has ended, and now it's time for the students to have lunch to replenish their energy. After all, the morning classes have used up the energy from breakfast, and there's still physical education class in the afternoon.

"Fafner, what are you going to do for lunch? Would you like to have lunch together if you don't mind?"

The person speaking to Bai Jie was Tian Zhihe Guanghui, who, despite it being their first conversation, was already calling Bai Jie by his name in a very familiar manner.

Of course, after observing for a morning, Bai Jie also gained some understanding of Tian Zhihe Guanghui. Simply put, he was a typical male protagonist type.

The class leader, handsome, athletic, gentle, and always accompanied by one or two beautiful girls—no matter how you look at it, he's the overused standard male protagonist template. It's unbelievable that such a person still exists in modern society.

Also, don't ask Bai Jie why he knows about the male protagonist; the answer is the evil of this world.

After thinking for a moment, Bai Jie said, "Although I've heard that Japanese students eat bento boxes for lunch, I didn't bring one today. Is there a cafeteria here?"

This is obvious. Bai Jie had already memorized all the information about the school while in the car. He knew the school inside and out, so it was impossible for him not to know that there was a cafeteria on campus.

However, Bai Jie is currently set up as a transfer student from Italy, so he is not very familiar with Japanese school culture and can only think in terms of Italian school culture.

"The cafeteria... if you go now, it might already be sold out," Shirasaki Kaori said. "Our school cafeteria only serves bread, sandwiches, and milk. Because the quantity is limited, everyone rushes to the cafeteria as soon as get out of class is over to grab what they need. There aren't many people in the class right now, are there?"

When Shirasaki Kaori said that, Bai Jie noticed that there were almost no people left in the class; those who remained were students who had brought their own lunches.

“Fafner, if you don’t mind, I can share half of my lunchbox with you. You can’t go hungry,” said Amagawa Brilliant. It was clear that he genuinely wanted to help Bai Jie, and there was not a single ulterior motive in his eyes.

Bai Jie waved his hand and rejected his suggestion: "Well, it's fine to skip lunch. Anyway, when my dad took me to the Amazon rainforest for wilderness survival, I already learned how to go a day without eating."

"What does your father do for a living? From what you've said, it sounds like he's always flying all over the world."

"He's an archaeology expert, specializing in exploring various historical sites and remote wilderness areas. He often crawls back half-dead." Pretending to sound disgusted with his father, Bai Jie said, "When I was in junior high, he took me to South America as his assistant. We spent a month surviving in the rainforest. By the time I left, he had already been living in a hotel in the city for two weeks..."

Under Bai Jie's constant lies, the impression that Tian Zhihe Guanghui and others had of Bai Jie gradually formed in their minds: "Poor child".

I think the Oscars owe Bai Jie an Oscar.

"Well, everyone, don't worry about me. I'll just drink water. I won't die."

——————————————————————————————————

Somewhere, about two county towns away from Bai Jie's high school, atop a tall building, a silver-haired girl stood on the edge of the railing, her purple snake-like eyes gazing in Bai Jie's direction.

"I can feel it, the snake is in that direction."

The girl could sense that, although it seemed to be obscured by something, she still felt its approximate location because of her close relationship with the Gorgon Stone.

Of course, the girl also knew that she would not easily obtain the Gorgon Stone. She had already learned from a certain unlucky magician in Italy that her snake had fallen into the hands of her enemy.

(A god-slayer, how long ago was it? It seems like thousands of years ago.)

Although the Gorgon Stone was a rather troublesome situation in the hands of the Godslayer, the girl was not troubled by it. On the contrary, she was intrigued for the first time, and the part of her heart that was a god of war was already resounding with joy.

"My name is Athena, and all I desire is a snake."

"Godslayer, let me see what you're capable of."

P.S.: This Happy Landlords game is toxic! How can I lose when I have four bombs? I could have won with a straight flush, two straights, and a pair of twos, but why did my teammate insist on playing a single card?! Are they out of their minds?!

Section 203, paragraph 16: Bai Jie: I don't hit women, but I can be ruthless in destroying flowers.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the school bell rang in the school.

Unlike other places, Japan has club activities, so school ends very early, unlike neighboring China where school never ends before 9 p.m.

"Huh? A club?"
