On how PhDs become human evil

“Every hero has a prototype-like existence. You just need to trace back to the source to find the prototype, just like you study the knight model.”

As soon as Kellysa got up in the afternoon and went out, she saw Bai Jie and the Knight Commander sitting in the living room discussing something. The Knight Commander was even acting like a student, constantly asking Bai Jie questions and taking notes in his notebook, looking like he loved learning.

This was far removed from the image of the Knights Commander that Kellysa had in mind.

"What are you two doing sitting here? Discussing magic?"

"Oh, you're awake."

"Your Highness Kellysa!"

Bai Jie and the Knight Commander spoke with a tone of relief and surprise, respectively.

“You’re right. I sparred with the Knight Commander this morning and felt that his magic had a lot of room for improvement, so I gave him some pointers,” Bai Jie said with a smile. “He has protected you many times before, so this is my way of making up for it.”

"Please don't say that, Lord Bai Jie. Protecting Princess Kellysa is my duty." The Knight Commander waved his hand. "Moreover, I have benefited greatly from exchanging magic with you. I should be the one thanking you."

Looking at the two people praising each other, Kellysa suddenly thought of a term—mutual flattery.

(Well, it's not so bad that they have a good relationship.)

The Knight Commander protected Kellysa for over a decade, and Bai Jie is her current husband. It's certainly a good thing that the two men, both very important to her, have a good relationship.

"Ring ring ring!"

Suddenly, the Knight Commander's phone rang. He gestured for Bai Jie to wait a moment and answered the phone: "It's me, what's wrong?... What, it's already this late? I'm sorry, it was my oversight. I'll be right there."

After hanging up the phone, the Knight Commander said apologetically, "I'm very sorry, Lord Bai Jie, I have to go on patrol now, so let's put the magic matter aside for another time."

"It's alright. Anyway, I've said enough. Now it's up to you to do your research. I have high hopes for you."

Watching the Knight Commander's departing figure, Kellysa took Bai Jie's arm and asked, "Are you planning to train another strongman?"

"Oh? What do you mean?"

"Didn't I realize you were the one who provided Misaka Mikoto with that equipment? Aren't you planning to train her up? Now you're giving the Knights Commander pointers. Aren't you training someone?"

With a slight smile, Bai Jie said, "Well, as I've gotten older, I've started to want to teach people. When I see someone with good potential, I want to give them some pointers. Anyway, there's no harm in it, so I just use it to pass the time."

"What do you think of me? Can I offer some pointers?"

"What do you need advice for? I'll throw dozens of Noble Phantasms at you later, and you can just use them as nuclear bombs against anyone you encounter." Bai Jie said very decisively. "If you want to fight in close combat, that's simple too. I'll open a door for you, and you can go to any other world to train. I'll give you an immortality buff."

"...Is this how you treat your wife?"

"Students are students, and wives are wives; of course, they should be treated differently."

Kelly sighed helplessly. She must have been blind to have such a husband who didn't know how to cherish women.

"By the way, honey, I've finished what I needed to do here. Let's go back to Academy City."

"Are you planning to go back?"

"We can't just leave it at Tokiwadai forever; I am, after all, a teacher."

"Tokiwadai is quite impressive in a way to have a princess become a teacher."

"Being a teacher is quite interesting, isn't it?"

I agree with that.

————————————————————————————

"Huh? Are we going back to Academy City?"

At dinner, Elishad looked at Kellysa with some surprise.

"You've only been back a few days, can't you stay a few more days?"

"No, I still have a class of students to teach over there. I've had other teachers cover my classes for the past few days, and I can't keep doing that indefinitely."

Hearing about Kellysa's dedication, Limeel's expression was very complicated: "The princess who was once a military leader has now become a teacher who is passionate about education. This world is really crazy."

"Sister Wang, you'd probably change if you went to find a man, even though you probably won't find one."

"Why don't you just lend me your husband for a bit?"

"Don't even think about it!"

Watching the sisters argue, Bai Jie smiled and said, "That's right, Queen—"

"Huh?!" Elishad frowned. "You've already kidnapped my daughter and you still call me Queen? You should call me Mother!"

“Mother…this…” Bai Jie’s expression was somewhat complicated.

The woman who was his mother is now his wife, and he still calls her Elishad...

Bai Jie quickly banished this terrible thought from his mind!

"Forget about Mother, I'll just call you Queen."

“You little rascal… well, you don’t seem like you’ll change your mind easily.” Elishad sighed. “Although none of my daughters give me any peace of mind, I still hope you can take good care of her. You’re capable of that, aren’t you?”

“Of course. Although what happened with Kellysa was an accident, now that we are husband and wife, I will naturally take good care of her.”

If it weren't for the fall of the angel, even if Bai Jie and Kellysa had met, their relationship probably wouldn't have turned out the way it is now. The fall of the angel turned their relationship from parallel lines into a single line. It has to be said that fate is truly amazing.

With a slight sigh, Elishad asked, "So when do you plan to leave? I can help arrange the plane tickets."

"No need for you to trouble yourself, I can directly open the portal to Academy City."

With Bai Jie's current strength, he can travel between planets, let alone move around half of the Earth.

Upon hearing Bai Jie's words, Elishad, Limael, and Livian all looked surprised, clearly having had their worldviews challenged once again by Bai Jie.

"Compared to you, I feel like even King Katina I is not worthy of being mentioned."

"The archangel's words are probably just enough to let me stretch my muscles a little. If you want to be compared to me, you'd have to be someone who can destroy the world."

In fact, the absolute condition of "human" must be added. If it is not human, then even if that person is a hundred times stronger than Bai Jie, he still cannot defeat Bai Jie, who can continuously evolve through the power of beasts.

The powers of beasts only fail to function when facing humans. I wonder if this applies to other forms of human evil as well.

P.S.: I played LoL with a friend this afternoon. We had Malphite and Yasuo in the bot lane, and they were so dominant that the enemy Ashe and Zilean didn't dare leave their tower. At level six, we used our ultimates to tower dive and kill them, forcing the enemy to switch lanes top and bottom. Even Garen's arrival didn't help; we still killed them. We completely dominated the bot lane in seventeen minutes, forcing the enemy to surrender. Even the enemy jungler didn't dare come near us.

Section 570, Chapter 67: Misaka Mikoto is no longer afraid of Shokuhou Misaki.

Mornings at Tokiwadai Middle School begin very early.

Even so, 5:20 AM is undeniably too early. At this time, when one can barely hear birds chirping, the girls' dormitory is naturally completely silent. Speaking of dormitory life, in a city with 2.3 million residents, 80% of whom are students, there are actually various qualities and types of dormitory life. Among them, Tokiwadai Junior High School has particularly strict regulations regarding lights out and bedtime.

In the off-campus student dormitory of Tokiwadai Middle School, where everyone is sound asleep.

Perhaps only Shirai Kuroko is sober.

She rolled around in her blankets.

To be precise, she wasn't awake, but rather unable to fall asleep.

Her brown hair, usually tied into two ponytails with thin ribbons, was now down, lying on the bed. She wore a thin, transparent nightgown that was barely visible unless you looked closely, along with lace panties. This revealed her entire upper body, from her flat chest to the slight indentation below her navel, but she seemed completely unconcerned. This wasn't just because it was a girls' dormitory, but also because her roommate was a very unusual person.

but--

Shirai Kuroko stared at the empty bed opposite her, frantically grabbing her hair like a gorilla.

(Aaaaaaah! It's been five days since Onee-sama left Academy City! Kuroko is going to go crazy!!!)

Kuroko Shirai's roommate, Mikoto Misaka, went to Venice for a trip as soon as the Daihasei Festival ended, as arranged by Academy City. However, a big thing happened in Venice the next day. Kuroko Shirai thought that Mikoto Misaka would return, but unexpectedly, she took the opportunity to visit her teacher, Kellisa, in England, who was back in her hometown on business!

Shirai Kuroko feels restless if she doesn't see Misaka Mikoto for even a day, and now she hasn't seen her for five days in a row. It's like asking an addict to go five days without ecstasy – it's killing her!

Although she was barely surviving on Misaka Mikoto's photo album and underwear, Shirai Kuroko felt she was nearing her limit. If Misaka Mikoto didn't return by tomorrow, she would chase after her all the way to England!

“Buzz.…”

A portal opened, and the figure of the person Shirai Kuroko had been longing for walked out from within it.

Dragging her suitcase, Misaka Mikoto, returning from abroad, looked at her roommate and said, "Yo, Kuroko, I'm back."

"Big Sister!!!"

Dormitory Supervisor: Shirai Kuroko is asking for trouble again.

————————————————————————

Although it was nighttime in England when she returned, it was still broad daylight in Japan due to the time difference. Therefore, Misaka Mikoto had to go to class as soon as she returned to Tokiwadai Middle School.

After barely managing to get through the three morning classes, Misaka Mikoto managed to take a nap during math class thanks to Bai Jie's connections, and then went to the cafeteria for lunch.

"Well, after eating the British royal family's meals for two days, Tokiwadai seems a bit too simple."

Misaka Mikoto thought to herself.

Back in England, Misaka Mikoto lived in a royal palace and ate royal meals prepared by top chefs. Now that she's back in Tokiwadai, she feels the environment there isn't as nice as it used to be.

Reaching into her skirt pocket and pulling out her two full bottles, Misaka Mikoto wondered if she should continue maintaining order in Academy City that afternoon. After all, she only had three classes that afternoon, two of which were with Bai Jie and Kellysa, so skipping class didn't matter.

"Oh my, isn't this Misaka-san?"

A voice that Misaka Mikoto could not accept came over, and honey-colored hair appeared in her field of vision.

Surrounded by a group of girls, the Queen of Tokiwadai arrived before Misaka Mikoto.

"Shokuhou Misaki..."

Misaka Mikoto, with a dark expression, said the name of the person in front of her.

The fifth of only seven Level 5 users in Academy City, he possesses a wide range of psychological abilities, including memory manipulation, mind reading, brainwashing, memory erasure, hallucination, and telepathy. He is like a Swiss Army knife, the strongest psychic in Academy City, also known as "Mental Mastery".

Sitting down opposite Misaka Mikoto, Shokuhou Misaki said with a smile, "I remember you went to Venice for a seven-day, five-night trip, right? Why are you back now?"

"Didn't you see the news? Something big happened in Venice, so of course I had to come back early."

"Oh, I see... But wasn't that a message from three days ago? If that were the case, you should have come back three days ago."

"I just happened to run into Ms. Kellysa, who was going back to her hometown on business, and Ms. Bai Jie, who was with her. Do you understand now?"

“I see…” Misaki Shokuhou said meaningfully, giving Misaka Mikoto a deep look with her star-shaped eyes before focusing her gaze on Misaka Mikoto’s hand. “Oh my, what’s this? A toy?”

"No, this is..."

"Could it be a gashapon toy from the roadside? I didn't know you had this kind of hobby, Misaka-san."
