The comments section all think I'm a really good person.

Kita Kirihara, somewhat uncomfortable with Aijo Karen's overly affectionate nickname "Yuan Yuan," reluctantly distanced herself before gently replying, "This is just my personal interest; the principal didn't actually give any orders. But, it's rare to get a new machine—"

She carefully ran her fingertips over every detail of the camera, even feeling that her fingerprints were a form of damage, before continuing, "I just wanted to try to record these precious images."

"Precious?" It was Asagami Mako who asked this question. She didn't have a habit of taking photos as souvenirs and didn't quite understand Kita Kirihara's obsession. "Aren't we going to stay here for a long time? There'll be plenty of material to shoot."

This was a bit tactless, but she genuinely wanted to know the answer, and no one present felt it was offensive.

Kita Kirihara merely showed a slightly troubled expression, and the smile on her lips was not as pronounced. She seemed to carefully consider her words before briefly explaining, "Every minute and second of this moment is special, Asagami-kun. A scene is not so easy to recreate."

[Of course we have to take a picture to commemorate it! He won't be carefree like this forever... SpongeBob SquarePants' voice automatically pops into my head.]

Although the admissions situation for the National Division has changed slightly this year—with the addition of Ren-nii and Ahara, a new principal, and Koizumi still in charge—every time I see the still very young Shinku, I'm reminded of the National Division's eventual disintegration…

[Actually, what A-Yuan said is very true, because the vocational college may not be able to continue operating for more than a year, so it's better to take photos now to commemorate the occasion.]

Now that you mention it, it really hurts.

[Less than a year has passed in the timeline, but the manga has been serialized for almost five years. It depicts the process of how the original four members of the National Team gradually went to their destruction so well that I now have PTSD from the Full Moon Night and the Nameplate Battle.]

Stop talking, stop talking! I can already picture Rin's cross-section in my head ( )

【No, no, no mention of the cross-sectional diagram!!!】

The viewers in the bullet comments are a group of people who are easily moved by emotions. They almost immediately showed their excitement for the fast-paced plot that was about to unfold, and Kita Kirihara successfully recorded this information and did some analysis in his mind.

The "Rin" mentioned by the audience refers to Shiraki Rin. In the original route, Shiraki Rin's appearance would have been later in the story, and she wouldn't have been captured by the tower so early and sent to the high school.

In the original storyline, Shiraki Rin, who was made into a weapon by the association, was captured after failing in a mission to infiltrate the high school. She was then imprisoned in the high school by the principal, White Eagle, and it took the tower nearly three months to restore Shiraki Rin's sanity.

Shiraki Rin was gradually accepted by the others, and later became a transfer student, joining the National Class.

The "Rin cross-section diagram" refers to Rin Shiraki's departure from the scene.

During a major event, she used her ability to "penetrate" in an attempt to transmit the information she had. However, the chip that had been implanted in her body and was still hidden in her brain caused her ability to go out of control.

When others found her body, it was broken in two, revealing a bloody and mangled cross-section.

Unexpectedly, Shiraki Rin left the scene so hastily, and given the truly impactful visuals, the cross-section became a scene that left a deep impression on the audience.

Even now, with Shiraki Rin seemingly in a different situation than before, the audience isn't so optimistic.

Although the National Class's mortality rate was far lower than that of the first Special Class, with only Shiraki Rin dying in the storyline, it wasn't a perfect ending.

Some died, some were maimed, some lost limbs, and some even faked their deaths and defected to become anti-heroes, living outside the law.

But without a doubt, when they first enrolled, the members of the National Group were just teenagers with immature faces, at most a bit unruly, and a little bit manic.

However, mild manic symptoms can be resolved by Kita Kirihara.

For example, right now, Kita Kirihara has taken the initiative to reveal his abilities to Asagami Shinku.

She smiled and waved to Asagami Shinku: "Would you like to sit a little closer? If you stand there, the effect might not be as good."

The latter looked somewhat bewildered: "What?"

At first, I didn't understand why A-Yuan was labeled as a "mother," but now I think I understand a bit. Her purifying abilities bring relief to anyone struggling with their ability-induced mania.

[Originally, Shinku was quite wary, but without realizing it, her attitude has relaxed considerably, and now she finds it difficult to be on guard against Ren-nii and Ahara.]

Furthermore, Rin's condition is gradually improving, and she's now constantly clinging to Ahara.

Now that you mention it, I understand. Such a gentle, reliable, and considerate nanny, who also takes excellent care of her daily needs… who wouldn't like her? No wonder she has motherly qualities!

In other words... is Ahara a true red catnip?

[Is my brother-loving nature puppy-like?]

[It seems to appeal to both cats and dogs]

"...But I feel this ability is very dangerous. If it's the current main personality, A-Yuan, it's fine, but the alternate personality doesn't seem like someone who's going to take it lying down."

What?! Will there be a scene where the wicked woman, A-Yuan, manipulates other people?! Is this really something I can see for free?!

[...Oh right, that seems to make it more interesting.]

[My friend wants to see a scene where Omoka wakes up one day to find her hands stained with her comrade's blood, and is filled with terror and regret...hehe...]

[Is this another "I Have a Friend" series?]

[I'm different. I want to see the adult Ahara emerge and control the National Team after the original Ahara falls asleep. A bad woman is great!]

[It looks absolutely delicious!]

Kita Kirihara's second personality is a time bomb hidden in the National Hero Academy.

But the comments section didn't seem to care too much; they just wanted to see rivers of blood, and a higher level of drama and story development.

It's not the indifference and arrogance of observers from another world, but rather the audience's deep love for this world and this story.

I want to see more outstanding characters.

I want to see even more stunning visuals.

I want to see more exciting stories.

Whether it's comedy or tragedy, heartwarming or cruel, audiences can accept it, but they cannot accept boring stories that lack substance.

A story of substance needs to leave a mark on the audience's heart.

Therefore, whether it's the joy of being resurrected from the dead, the sorrow of not getting what you want, extreme despair, or a turn of events... all can be accepted.

Let's present even more exciting stories to satisfy the audience's endless appetite!

A voice seemed to be speaking loudly in my heart, urging me on with impatience.

After gaining directorial authority, she had more and more voices in her head, so one more wouldn't hurt.

Kita Kirihara also keenly sensed that the audience's enthusiasm had risen even higher after the new chapter began.

At this moment, she is taking in the negative emotions of Shiraki Rin and Asagami Shinku.

As the character card representing her inner demons, Aicheng Hualian naturally had to bear the negative emotions that arose from it.

However, these were negative emotions that had already been planned and had channels for handling. It was part of Kita Kirihara's daily routine, so she had gotten used to it quite a bit. For her, it was nothing, as simple as breathing and drinking water.

The negative emotions extracted from others need to be processed by Kita Kirihara and digested at a relatively slow pace before they can be transformed into one's own strength.

If it were just the negative emotions of these classmates, it wouldn't really be a problem for Kita Kirihara.

The only thing that was particularly difficult was the manic energy generated by Saki Koizumi.

Because the early periods are different.

Kita Kirihara realized this more than once.

If she is the "director" found by this world, then Saki Koizumi is undoubtedly the beloved "protagonist".

The protagonist is special, with a unique role, and the negative emotions they experience are also different from those of others.

Kita Kirihara preserved Koizumi Saki's manic traits without digesting them.

She had been pondering a question:

Who is qualified to act opposite Saki Koizumi?

Based on the needs of the plot; based on the dramatic tension; based on the audience's preferences... based on her personal feelings.

Presumably, they can only be considered equals to Kita Kirihara and Koizumi Saki.

Kita Kirihara would not allow anyone to take her role away.

Only Kita Kirihara and Koizumi Saki can play opposite each other.

However, she is now stuck in the position of director.

If a director wants to get into character, he needs to create a brand new character. Fortunately, this new character has already appeared before, so he just needs to keep developing the character and wait for his appearance.

She used her abilities to absorb the negative emotions of her classmates.

While she appears to be purifying and calming her manic-depressive disorder, she is actually gathering nourishment for the appearance of a new character.

Asagami Shinku was quite surprised to find that the anxiety that had been troubling her ever since her ability awakened had been greatly alleviated by Kita Kirihara's ability.

She was puzzled, but she didn't notice that when Kita Kirihara used his ability, his originally dark red pupils were showing a subtle tendency to lighten.

Kita Kirihara subconsciously closed his eyes, seemingly because his eyes were tired.

When I opened my eyes again, upon closer inspection, the color of my eyes had not changed at all.

Shiraki Rin seemed to sense something, raised her head, pricked up her ears, and looked slightly nervous.

However, nothing unusual happened.

Because only Kita Kirihara could hear the system notification sound in her mind.

[Character Card No. 19275 - Kita-girihara, completed.]

120. Do not go near the basement.

Character card number 19275, "Inner Demon," was created by combining Koizumi Saki's negative emotions with Kita Kirihara's own character positioning.

This character card is special.

Because the original body—that is, herself—has not died, the inner demon does not have an independent consciousness, nor does it become a complete character card.

The inner demon, Kita Kiri, was still within her own body, which was the "second personality" she had previously created.

The original second personality, Kita Kirihara, was a character she created entirely. Now that she has extracted it and turned it into a usable card, it will not develop independent consciousness.

After all, she initially just wanted to make it easier for herself to adjust her state, rather than splitting herself off or actually creating a second personality for herself.

She only determined her [behavior], [mindset], and other character settings, and set the character card status to her 24-year-old self, so that she wouldn't need to use her ability to change her appearance every time.

It's like she put on another layer of skin that no one can see through.

Because the negative emotions were extracted from Saki Koizumi, and because the actor Kita Kirihara was perceived by the world as a different person after becoming a character card, he gave people a completely different feeling from the original Kita Kirihara, which was able to cover up the flaws revealed by his lack of ability.

After being injured, even the most flawless performance will inevitably have some flaws, which Kita Kirihara has to be wary of.

and……

Because the character card was made using a portion of Saki Koizumi's work, its strength is actually slightly beyond expectations.

After all, inner demons have a special attack on the person who conceived them, and this character card is, strictly speaking, "Koizumi Saki's most feared nemesis".

The main body is more accurately described as Koizumi Saki than Kita Kirihara.
