The Infinite Powerhouse Mixed in with Sakura Dormitory

Sitting next to Jiang Jing, Shiina Mashiro, who was holding a sketchbook and preparing to continue drawing, paused and turned to look closely at Jiang Jing's face, which exuded a mature and steady charm in the sunset.

A gentle river breeze blew, lifting Zhenbai's long hair and causing the lush wild grass along the riverbank to bow down, undulating like waves under the red sunset.

Suddenly, Mashiro put away her easel, then leaned against the river view and lay down on the grass, slowly closing her eyes. A peaceful and content expression, like that of a baby, appeared on her delicate face.

When the sun had completely set, Jiang Jing finally opened his eyes, lazily gazing at the fiery red remnants of clouds in the sky, unwilling to move.

"Lying next to Sorata feels so reassuring." Shiina Mashiro, who had opened her eyes at some point, turned her face slightly, her hair falling down, her clear and bright phoenix eyes quietly looking at the river scene.

Just then, another strong river wind blew by, and Mashiro's long, silky hair suddenly spread out, dancing in the air like a painting.

Jiang Jing sighed softly, "The wind is a bit noisy today."

"Let's go, senior should have finished making dinner by now." Jiang Jing said, sitting up and then bending down slightly to place his hand in front of Shiina Mashiro's eyes, smiling at him.

Looking at the hand placed in front of her, Shiina Mashiro's gaze met Jiang Jing's eyes, and for the first time, a smile appeared on her face as she placed her hand in Jiang Jing's hand.

As the sun set, the two walked side by side slowly back towards Sakura-sou.

Chapter 117 Sending Blades

"Hey, Akasaka, you're out so early today."

As soon as they got home, Jiang Jing and Mashiro were surprised to see Akasaka Ryunosuke sitting at the table, one hand on his laptop making a lot of typing, and the other holding a tomato and eating it.

With his long black hair and handsome appearance, Akasaka Ryunosuke sat there. If he didn't speak, a normal person would think he was a girl. If he dressed as a woman, even acquaintances wouldn't be able to tell the difference between his gender.

"I'm hungry. By the way, why are you two so late today?" Akasaka Ryunosuke said coolly, staring at his laptop without turning his head.

In his eyes, Jiang Jing and Shiina Mashiro, who were inseparable every day, were no different from a married couple.

"Haha... Junior, you and Mashiro are back! Ta-da... Look at the super eel fruit curry surprise meal I made today."

Behind the counter, Misaki Kamiigusa was very excited. In front of her was a large plate piled high with colorful things.

It consists of a combination of various fruits, fried eel pieces, steamed eel, curry rice, and more.

Jiang Jing shrugged: "Senior, I hope your surprise today won't turn into a shock for them."

"Kanda, what do you think about me giving the maid a body treatment?" Just then, Akasaka Ryunosuke suddenly stopped and turned to look at Jiang Jing.

"Body? What, is our lovely maid already eager to come out?" Jiang Jing walked over with a smile, looking at the cartoon maid in the lower right corner of the screen.

"Yes, Lord Kanda, your most beloved maid is eager to have a body so she can take care of you in real life and prevent other women from stealing you away." The very human-like maid jumped happily in the lower left corner, the data cable tail swinging behind her.

"No way, Akasaka, you actually fell in love with the software sprite you designed?" Jiang Jing feigned shock as he looked at Akasaka Ryunosuke.

"I was just asking casually. Women are such a hassle." Seeing Jiang Jing teasing him, Akasaka Ryunosuke coolly turned around and went back, giving him a view of his long, black hair.

"Meow...meow..." In the corner of the living room, Shiina Mashiro squatted down, holding a handful of cat food and extending it to the tabby cat, Kodama, while meowing.

During this time, Shiina Mashiro had been trying to get along with the cats that Jiang Jing kept, but unfortunately, for some reason, the cats didn't seem to like her, which puzzled her greatly.

The cat spirit, lying on the ground, looked at the cat food that appeared in front of it, and the curious cat was about to put its face closer to sniff it.

Meow!

In the distance, Xiao Guang, the white cat lying at the entrance of Jiangjing, let out a soft call. Instantly, Mu Ling shrank back and then turned around and crawled into its cat bed.

"...??" Shiina Mashiro looked puzzled, then turned to look at Hikaru in the distance.

Tilting their heads, the human and the cat silently locked eyes.

……

"By the way, what's going on with you?"

Just after seven o'clock, Jiang Jing, who had just finished dinner and cleaned up, heard someone calling him from outside. He opened the door and saw Yuriko Uemura standing there, not wearing her usual uniform, but a gorgeous kimono.

Behind her, several female assistants were waiting, carrying large and small bags.

Today, Yuriko Uemura's delicate and beautiful face was adorned with light makeup, her slightly full lips glossy and moist. A delicate, elongated purple eyeshadow rimmed her eyes, adding a touch of allure to her otherwise cool expression.

Her long, black hair, reaching her waist, was parted in the middle and neatly combed, cascading down her back. A few strands of hair fell across her chest from each shoulder, making her usually inconspicuous area appear quite large.

Under the night lights, Yuriko Uemura's strong businesswoman aura vanished today, replaced by a captivating mature woman's charm, almost making Jiang Jing think he had mistaken her for someone else.

"I'm so sorry to bother you so late, Professor Kanda," said Yuriko Uemura with a slight bow and a smile.

"Uh...please come in first." Jiang Jing stepped aside.

"Put your things down and wait for me in the car." After entering the house, Yuriko Uemura directed her three female assistants to place the letters and other miscellaneous items they were carrying on the table.

"Junior, what is this?"

Hearing the commotion, Misaki and Mashiro from Ueiso, and Chihiro from Sengoku also appeared. Misaki picked up something that looked like a postcard and asked curiously.

"These are all letters and gifts sent to the publishing house by Kanda-sensei's fans, and they asked us to forward them to Kanda-sensei." Yuriko Uemura smiled at Jiang Jing.

However, Jiang Jing felt that her gaze was somewhat strange today.

"Wow, junior's so popular now? Let me see what I have." Misaki Kamiigusa didn't feel embarrassed at all, rummaging through the pile of things.

"Sorata's fan letter." Shiina Mashiro picked up a bulging pink envelope.

"Not bad, Kanda. Keep it up. It seems you'll become a big celebrity before you even finish your studies." Chihiro patted Jiang Jing on the shoulder, her eyes darkening as if she had thought of something, then she smiled, turned around, and went upstairs.

"Wow, junior, some of your fans even send you knives."

Suddenly, Misaki was startled, then happily opened a box from the pile of gifts and took out a sharp kitchen knife: "I was just thinking that our knife wasn't very good, and I was planning to ask you to buy one the other day, but now you don't need to."

"Senior, that was a threat they made, indicating that I shouldn't write about the currently very popular Ami, and that I shouldn't write about tragedies. Why are you so happy?" Jiang Jing, who understood what Misaki meant, wanted to laugh as he watched her happily run to the kitchen counter.

With the recent surge in popularity of Toradora!, many anime and manga fans have been discussing the upcoming storyline and even speculating about its development. Currently, the most talked-about character is not the main heroine Taiga, but rather Ami, who appears later in the series.

"Sorata, what's this?" Shiina Mashiro asked, holding the open envelope in one hand and a pair of sexy panties with only two threads in the other.

"Why does it say it wants to have children with you? Does Sora know it?"

Jiang Jing was speechless. He turned to look at Yuriko Uemura, who was as radiant as a flower that evening: "Editor Uemura, what kind of nonsense is this?"

"This just shows how popular your work is, Kanda-sensei." Uemura Yuriko, standing to the side, didn't think much of it.

"Ever since the second volume sold out, fans who love this work have been sending gifts or envelopes to the publisher every day because they don't have your contact information, Mr. Kanda."

Jiang Jing, uninterested in these things, shook his head: "If there are any more of these things later, please handle them for me. Also, please clarify on the official website that they should stop sending them."

"With such a popular work, isn't Kanda-sensei happy?" Uemura Yuriko asked, somewhat puzzled.

"It's not that I'm unhappy, but I just want to create in peace and quiet, and I don't want these things to bother me," Jiang Jing casually replied.

Quietly creating? Shiina Mashiro looked at Jiang Jing blankly from the side. She didn't remember when Jiang Jing had ever created something with his heart.

However, after hearing this, Yuriko Uemura looked at Jiang Jing with admiration: "As expected of Kanda, no wonder he can write such outstanding works."

"Oh, by the way, I came here today to ask Mr. Kanda about the Toradora! animation project that our company's animation department has submitted. I would like to ask for your opinion."

"Animation? They've only released two volumes, how can they make an anime?" Jiang Jing asked curiously.

"First, we submit the proposal. By the time it's approved, it will be the end of the month. By then, the third volume of Toradora! will have already been released, enough to make seven or eight episodes."

“Once they assemble the project team, the earliest they can officially start is the end of June. By then, given your writing speed, Mr. Kanda, the fourth volume will definitely be finished, and the content of the four volumes can easily be made into a twelve-episode season,” Yuriko Uemura analyzed for Jiang Jing.

"By the way, Kanda-sensei, are you currently working on the fourth volume?"

"Kouta has already finished writing volumes four, five, and six," Shiina Mashiro, who was holding the two ropes with a puzzled expression, suddenly said.

"Really?" Yuriko Uemura looked at Jiang Jing in shock, then her gaze turned fiery, because she also loved this work and was a loyal fan of Toradora!

"Ahem... Well, it's not finalized yet. I'll send it to you once I've revised it, Editor Uemura." Jiang Jing, who hadn't originally planned to send it out so soon, had no choice but to cough and nod in acknowledgment.

"Kanda-sensei, I'm really looking forward to it." At this moment, Uemura Yuriko was still in shock.

Because it had only been about half a month since Jiang Jing wrote the third volume, yet he had already created three more volumes totaling over 200,000 words.

Especially with Jiang Jing's talent, the last three volumes should be just as exciting as the earlier ones, which is quite terrifying.

Forcibly calming her excited and shocked emotions, Yuriko Uemura took a deep breath before slowly saying, "Mr. Kanda, do you have any objections to the animation suggestion just now? If not, I will have my assistant contact the animation department to discuss the copyright issue."

Jiang Jing, who holds the copyrights to Toradora!, thought for a moment and said, "I have no objection to the animation, but in the contract I only authorized the first four volumes. I'll decide on the rest after seeing the production results of the first season."

Although he wasn't particularly interested in these things anymore, since he had copied this work, Jiang Jing felt that the animation couldn't be too bad, even if it didn't reach the level of that world; otherwise, it would be better to just not make it into an animation.

"Don't worry, Mr. Kanda. With the current popularity of Toradora!, the animation department will definitely give it a thorough review and work diligently on its production."

"The animation department of the publishing group is one of the top three production teams in the industry, and I believe that it will not disappoint Mr. Kanda."

"Furthermore, after our publishing department authorizes the animation department, we also have certain rights. If the production quality is too unsatisfactory, we have the right to demand rectification," Yuriko Uemura explained.

"Alright then." Jiang Jing nodded.

Actually, if Toradora! wasn't a teen romance novel, Jiang Jing thought it might have been a good idea to give it to Misaki to produce; with her amazing talent for animation, he believed it wouldn't be too bad.

Meanwhile, at the same time that Yuriko Uemura was visiting Jiang Jing, in another luxurious villa, the handsome young man who had been sitting in the first seat of the row next to Yuriko Uemura at noon looked gloomy and sat opposite an old man.

P.S.: Two chapters today, nearly 7,000 words each, let's count it as three chapters ^-^

Yesterday I received fifty monthly tickets and over a dozen knife-wielding comments, which combined didn't even amount to a single chapter in two days. So, after making up for it with one update today, I still owe you nineteen chapters.

You guys are making me feel pressured, and now I can't get any inspiration out of me (smug laugh).

Chapter 118 I'm a PE teacher, not a math teacher (First update)

Amidst the usual laid-back atmosphere in Jiangjing, Shuigao High School held its mid-term exams on Thursday.

"Ha..." Jiang Jing, who had finished the test paper early, yawned, resting his chin on his hand.

Then, while the other students around him were engrossed in writing, he would close his eyes and go to sleep, which made the burly PE teacher on the podium twitch with worry.

"Student, it's exam time now. Please answer the questions carefully," the PE teacher sitting on the platform said sternly.

"Me? I've finished answering." Jiang Jing looked at the PE teacher and shrugged.

The burly, imposing teacher immediately frowned and looked at Jiang Jing: "Student, the exam has only been going on for ten minutes. Please don't say such arrogant things. Do you think I would believe you?"

In his view, most of the students in the first row were still writing the first part of their papers, so Jiang Jing's claim that he had finished answering was a complete lie. This kind of personality made the upright physical education teacher even more disgusted with him.

If he had studied harder back then and answered more questions on the exams, he wouldn't be a PE teacher now, even though he wouldn't know how to answer those questions even if he wanted to.

"Uh... but I really finished writing it." As he spoke, Jiang Jing held up the paper with the answers filled in and shook it. The dense writing on it surprised the PE teacher.

"If you don't believe me, teacher, you can take it and check if I filled it in randomly." Jiang Jing looked at the PE teacher with a smile.

"After you finish answering, you can check it carefully again." The PE teacher's tone softened, and then he turned to look at the other students with a stern face, ignoring Jiang Jing.

Inspection? What a load of rubbish! He's a PE teacher, not a math teacher. He'd be completely clueless about those questions too.
