On how PhDs become human evil

Shaking her head, Eriri said, "Calling the police is useless. Besides, Professor Bai Jie saved me once two months ago. I saw him defeat that monster with my own eyes."

If it were Bai Jie, Eriri believed she could definitely deal with the bugster chasing them.

"I was wondering why there was noise coming from next door, but I didn't expect to find two little girls all alone here."

Just then, a sound came from the classroom door. Eriri and Kasumigaoka Utaha hurriedly looked over and saw Bai Jie standing at the door, wearing his signature white lab coat.

"Teacher!" Eriri rushed over and hugged Bai Jie as if she had grasped a lifeline, but before she could, Bai Jie dodged her embrace, and Eriri immediately bumped her head against the door frame.

Looking at Eriri lying on the ground clutching her head, Bai Jie rolled his eyes at her: "Little brat, stop hugging and cuddling all the time. Mind your manners, you're a diplomat's daughter."

"I never expected you to be such an ungentlemanly person, teacher. I always thought you had no other characteristics besides being strict."

"Kasumigaoka Utaha, you've lost all your credits for this semester."

With just one sentence, Kasumigaoka Utaha was rendered speechless by Bai Jie's retort, and she crossed her arms and turned her head away.

Bai Jie had seen problem students like Kasumigaoka Utaha before. Even if her sharp tongue could leave Bai Jie speechless, he still held the power of life and death over her. Go ahead and jump, but you'll lose credits if you do.

At Fengzhiqi Academy, Bai Jie's inhumanity is well-known. Any test paper with a score of 100 or below 80 is classified as unqualified—which is one of the reasons why Kasumigaoka Utaha doesn't dare to argue back.

"Alright, alright, Bai Jie, don't bully him. That's why nobody wants you." Cecilia, who had been watching the show from the sidelines, walked over and said with a smile.

Seeing Cecilia walk in, Kasumigaoka Utaha couldn't help but ask, "May I ask who you are?"

“Cecilia Schariac, your teacher Bai Jie’s girlfriend—is she like this now?” Cecilia said with a smile, uttering words that shocked Eriri and Kasumigaoka Utaha.

Girlfriend? That heartless teacher Bai Jie actually has a girlfriend? And a stunningly beautiful girlfriend who seems perfect in every way?

"Hey you two, I feel like you're thinking something really rude. Don't you want your credits anymore?" Bai Jie tapped the podium with an unfriendly expression, startling Eriri and Kasumigaoka Utaha into instinctively straightening their posture.

(Wait a minute, it's Sunday, why are we still so afraid of him?)

(Before I could react, my body started moving on its own...humiliating.)

As was his habit, Bai Jie sat down on the podium, crossed his legs, and looked at the two of them: "I only heard a little bit just now, it seemed to be related to bugsters, what's going on? Tell me."

"Well... here's the thing."

After hesitating for a moment, Eriri began to explain the situation.

P.S.: Update

P.S.: I previously said that I got two six-star characters, Chen and Skadi, in a row, and that I probably wouldn't get any more six-star characters this summer. But this afternoon, I got Skyfire from the Hoshiguma banner on pity, and I got Angelina from the gacha banner on my first try. I also got Angelina on pity – I love this pity system!

P.S.: How's everyone's progress with the FGO Imperial Capital event? I played for three hours this afternoon and have completed 49 missions, but I was using a VPN.

Section 76, Chapter 14: The Greatest Moment of That Year

A few minutes later, after listening to Eriri's description, Bai Jie leaned back tactically, then turned around and drew a process diagram on the blackboard.

"To put it simply, this is how it is. This morning, the two of you originally planned to go to Aki Tomoya's house to discuss the production of a Galgame, but when you got there, you were told that he was in the hospital, so you had to go home."

"Then they were attacked by bugsters halfway there, and fled here in a panic, planning to rest for a while before coming to find me—is that a fair summary?"

Bai Jie put down the chalk and sat back down on the podium: "I see. I think I understand the situation now. My personal advice is to just stay home and wait."

"Huh?"

Eriri and Kasumigaoka Utaha were both stunned. They were being chased, so shouldn't they have called the police? Why were they just waiting?

Seeing the doubts in their hearts, Bai Jie began to explain: "You know about the big event Zero Day five years ago, right? Although it was announced that the event was resolved, the follow-up problems have always existed. The most important one is that a new type of virus has spread in society."

"After a human is infected with the tiny Disintegration Virus, it will multiply to a certain extent and cause the infected person to develop symptoms of poisoning called Game Disease. The infected person's body will gradually become transparent, and if not treated in time, the infected person will disappear completely."

"Another point to note is that the symptoms will continue to worsen as the infected person's stress increases. When the infected person can no longer bear the excessive stress, they will disappear completely, just as I just mentioned, and everything about the infected person will be absorbed by the materialized bugster."

"By the way, Cecilia, please pay attention to what's coming next, because I'm about to talk about how to deal with the bugster—that is, how to perform the surgery."

After reminding Cecilia, Bai Jie continued, "As I just mentioned, the symptoms of infected individuals worsen as stress increases and eventually disappear. Therefore, in order to increase the stress on infected individuals, bugsters will continuously attack people who can relieve stress."

"If I had to give you an example... it's like targeting a research rival. You keep harassing them when their research is at a crucial stage, preventing them from concentrating and ultimately causing their research to fail, leading to their mental breakdown. The reason you were attacked is because you can relieve the stress of the person currently suffering from gaming addiction."

Upon hearing Bai Jie's words, Eriri and Kasumigaoka Utaha immediately understood.

"Could it be that the reason Ethics-kun was hospitalized was because he has 'gaming addiction'?"

"But why would there be pressure? Tomoya has always been so optimistic." This was what Eriri found puzzling. She had never even considered that Aki Tomoya might experience pressure.

“I do have some ideas about this.” Bai Jie circled a word on the blackboard—[Galgame production], “You just said you were planning to make a game, right? And Aki Tomoya is taking on the roles of planner, producer, and director.”

"I'm not saying this to be mean, but for a high school student, this burden is a bit too much. It's no wonder he feels pressured. Besides, he's never dealt with anything like this before, so his anxiety will increase day by day, which will then lead to the birth of the bugster."

"Of course, your own reasons are one aspect, but I guess you guys also have your reasons. I don't know about Sawamura, but I can roughly guess what you said, Kasumigaoka—'I won't help if you can't come up with a good plan,' that's basically your kind of answer, very proud and arrogant."

Everything Bai Jie predicted was correct, and Eriri and Kasumigaoka Utaha's expressions immediately turned ugly.

"Bai Jie!" Seeing the two girls looking downcast, Cecilia playfully scolded Bai Jie before comforting them, "It's alright. Since they're already hospitalized, it means they're receiving treatment. An Yi-kun will definitely get better, so don't worry."

Since this involves gaming addiction, CR is definitely the one responsible for handling this matter. Considering that there are four Kamen Riders around, Bai Jie felt that he should be fine without taking action.

"Oh, it's here."

A slightly deep male voice rang out in the classroom, and a bugster carrying two long swords appeared in the corridor. With just one slash, the huge wall turned into countless pieces of rubble that fell to the ground.

—Kaiden Bugster!

"The opposing faction in the sword fighting game Giri Giri Chambara, I remember the rules are that getting hit once means Game Over. How about it, Cecilia, I think you're a perfect first opponent."

"Should I do it? But I don't have a player driver," Cecilia said while protecting Eriri and Kasumigaoka Utaha.

With a smirk, Bai Jie's hand glowed with a deep blue light. The ever-changing Rubik's Cube split into countless small cubes like building blocks, and then reassembled, transforming into a brand new player driver.

"It's just a player driver. Even a genius like Dan Kuroto from Genmu Company can make it, so there's no reason why I, a true genius, can't make it. As for the cartridges... this is the most suitable one. Next, Cecilia!"

Bai Jie tossed the driver and cartridge in his hand toward Cecilia.

Cecilia dodged BGster's attack with a roll, caught the cartridge that Whitey threw to her, and then a confident smile appeared on her lips.

"If that's the case, then I have no reason to lose!"

God Arms

"Transform!"

Cecilia inserted the cartridge into the player driver on her waist, then pulled the red handle—

[Gachan! Level Up! Armament bearing the name of God! A lance wielding the power of creation and death! The Divine Key - Black Abyss White Flower!]

As the sound effects played, white lilies appeared around Cecilia, instantly transforming the entire classroom into a boundless sea of ​​white flowers, with countless lily petals raining down from the sky.

Amidst the sea of ​​flowers, Cecilia stretched out her hand, and the countless lily petals that had been fluttering in the air instantly gathered in her palm, forming a long strip. In an instant, an incomparably holy and dazzling radiance swept across the entire area.

When the light faded, Cecilia was holding a huge weapon in her hand.

It appears to be a white knight's lance with a black handle, the outer side of which bears the coat of arms of the Shaniat family, the inner side is purple, and the tip is black.

——The Sixth Divine Key: Black Abyss White Flower!

Now, Cecilia is the strongest!

P.S.: Update

P.S.: Although the Divine Keys are much weaker than the Throne of Gods in the game, I think the Divine Keys are stronger in terms of the game's lore. So, how do you think Shrimp Dumpling and Old Tan can fight the protagonist who can simulate all the Divine Keys?

P.S.: Chen is on his way; the domestic violence countdown has begun.

Section 77, Question 15: Shrimp Dumpling, are you getting too cocky?

Black leather armor embroidered with gold patterns, black combat boots on his legs, a white shawl fluttering in the wind behind him, and a white lance standing tall in the wind.

Once upon a time, on the battlefield against the Honkai, Cecilia's posture was the spiritual pillar of all Valkyries. Wherever she was, the battle there would definitely end in victory.

Now, in this other world, Bai Jie, with his divine talent, has collectively analyzed all the data on the Divine Keys and their users that he has collected so far, and finally created the cartridge that Cecilia is using at this time.

——【God Arms】

Meaning "God's Armament," or "God's Key," it's a game where the protagonist collects thirteen weapons to defeat the final demon king.

Feeling the familiar weight and touch in her palm, Cecilia revealed the oppressive power unique to the strongest Valkyrie.

"Then, I'll go!"

A white flash pierced through the space in an instant.

Sound was surpassed in that instant, the atmosphere trembled due to the extreme speed, and the gale whipped up by the Holy Lance immediately blew away everything around it.

"Although I created this myself, isn't its power a bit too great?" Standing in front of Eriri and Kasumigaoka Utaha, Bai Jie simulated the Star of Eden to create a gravity barrier, and said with a wry smile, "No, it's probably because the user is Cecilia. The Black Abyss White Flower is strongest in her hands."

As Bai Jie said, Cecilia is definitely the most outstanding among all the users of the Black Abyss White Flower.

Boom—!

The spear thrust, swept, slashed downwards, and thrust upwards continuously, the pure white spear shadows transforming into a rain of light, the fierce and swift attacks crashing towards the bugster like endless waves.

In an instant, swords and spears clashed, a powerful gust of wind swept through, and the two forces collided in a fierce and intense manner!

"Clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang clang!"

Brilliant sparks burst forth in mid-air one after another. Wherever the gunshots and blades reached, everything was pierced and severed. The classroom, which was originally intact, was instantly turned into ruins.

Wait, the classroom?!

"Damn it, I forgot to have Cecilia activate her game domain! If this keeps up, the school's going to be demolished!"

Bai Jie exclaimed in surprise. Although he said that being a teacher was extremely annoying, it didn't mean that he didn't like this school. If this place were demolished, where would he go to make a living?

"Cecilia! Quickly activate the game domain, or this place will be demolished!"

Upon hearing Bai Jie's voice, Cecilia was momentarily stunned. This momentary lapse in concentration created a slight opening in Cecilia's attack, and Bugster's blade immediately exploited this opening, narrowly missing Cecilia's cheek!

"That was close..." Cecilia quickly regained her composure, saying, "You said you wanted to expand into a game world, but I don't know how!"

"Press the button next to the belt—whoosh!" As Bai Jie spoke, a sword aura suddenly slashed towards him, causing him to hurriedly reinforce the gravity barrier. He was unharmed by the attack, but he had two girls behind him.

After engaging the bugster for a few more rounds, Cecilia feigned an opening and withdrew from the fight. Then, as Bai Jie had instructed, she pressed a button on her belt.
