Alchemists do not need self-cultivation

Isaac turned off his phone and then pulled a remote control out of his pocket.

He pressed it.

boom!!!!!!

The massive television building behind him exploded instantly. The sheer force of the explosion shocked everyone in the Tokyo ward.

"Life is born in a single thought, death is in another. The world is so cruel, hahahahahahahaha!!"

Isaac stood before the ruins of the building, laughing loudly as he looked up at the sky.

Chapter 285: Teacher and Student

According to our station, a large television station building in Tokyo was hit by a massive explosion. The station's director was killed inside the building yesterday afternoon, and his family members were also murdered in their home…

According to the investigation, the murderer is Hiruko Kagetane, a wanted fugitive...

Regarding the main cause of this accident…

The following day, radio stations throughout Tokyo were reporting on the explosion at a certain radio station and the deaths of the station director and his family, plunging the city into panic.

But all the television stations remembered one thing: do not sway public opinion toward the cursed child.

Following the explosion at the television station, many politicians from the Japan Pureblood Society tried to steer public opinion in a negative direction towards the cursed child, but almost all media outlets in the Tokyo area refused to comply.

The reason is simple: Isaac has shown them the 'example'. If they misbehave, they'll end up like that station manager.

Furthermore, there was no evidence pointing to Isaac. Everyone in the radio station had been knocked unconscious and thrown out of the building by Isaac long ago without their knowledge. They hadn't even seen him before they passed out.

After the building was destroyed, Isaac used alchemy to completely dismantle all the surveillance cameras and electronic equipment inside, leaving no trace.

The only thing they brought out was the computer that the station director had.

At this point, Hiruko Kagetane stepped forward and took the blame, pinning all the charges on himself.

While the television stations were reporting on it frantically, in a small alley, the masked man and the boy stood face to face.

"I didn't realize you were so loyal, willing to take the blame for me," Isaac laughed.

"Not at all, it's my honor to be able to help Satomi-kun." Hiruko Kagetane said, giving a gentlemanly bow.

"Thank you very much," Isaac said, handing the laptop he had been holding to Hiruko Kagetane.

"This is?"

He took the laptop from Isaac and looked it over.

Instead of answering directly, Isaac asked, "Do you know about the [Japanese Pureblood Society]?"

"I know that the 'Children Against the Curse' is an organization with considerable influence throughout Japan, consisting of nearly 100,000 politicians and regional leaders."

“I think the station director had some communication with the organization’s higher-ups before he died, and the answer might be on the computer,” Isaac said.

"Do you want me to help you decipher the information inside?"

“That’s right, I want to know who exactly is the person who commissioned that station director,” Isaac said. “Then we can follow the clues and dig out everyone in the [Pure Blood Society of Japan].

"This method does work, but why bother them?" Hiruko Kagetane suddenly asked. "Is it because Satomi-kun sympathizes with the cursed child?"

"I will not sympathize with anyone, nor will I pity anyone."

"Then why is that?"

Isaac unfolded a crumpled newspaper from his pocket and placed it in front of Hiruko Kagetane.

"This is... a financial newspaper?"

"That's right, look at the stock market of the police companies listed above."

Upon closer inspection, Hiruko Kageyu noticed that almost all the police companies' stocks had experienced a sharp decline.

“Our Tiantong Civil Security Company is also a police company. The industry downturn has a huge impact on us. At that time, even going public may become a problem.”

"Is this why you want to take action against this massive organization?" Hiruko Kagetane asked.

“There’s another reason,” Isaac said, putting away his newspaper. “I also taught a group of students.”

"A student?" Hiruko Kagetane asked uncertainly.

"Yes, a group of kids from the outer area. I usually teach them basic elementary school knowledge with the boss, but recently, because of the sudden incident, the courses have been changed to modern infantry training courses."

"That really is..."

“Without a doubt, whether it’s the station director or the [Japan Pureblood Society], they have directly threatened my interests.” Isaac’s eyes were full of malice. “In this situation, they only have two choices: stop or disappear.”

After listening to Isaac's words, Hiruko Kagetane paused for a moment, then suddenly laughed and said, "Hahaha, Satomi-kun's words are just like a villain in a TV drama."

“Of course, I’m a big villain by nature,” Isaac laughed.

"It's definitely never boring to be with you."

“By the way, Hiruko Kagetane,” Isaac suddenly said, “I’m currently teaching in the outer district. Your daughter can come and take classes with me when you have time.”

Hiruko Kagetane's daughter is naturally Hiruko Kohina, the little girl who wields two knives and slashes aimlessly.

"Hina? I'll come over when I have time, Satomi-sensei."

“Then it’s settled,” Isaac said with a smile. “In return, you’ll work as a security guard at the school.”

Hiruko Kagetane: "..."

After his secret deal with Hiruko Kagetane, Isaac returned to the outer district to teach the children.

In addition to the use of weapons, the course also covers reconnaissance techniques such as observation and eavesdropping.

The content was quite boring, but Isaac tried his best to make it interesting so that the little girls could remember it.

The little girls were quite attentive, and Isaac said they remembered the points very quickly.

At this rate, they will soon have a certain ability to protect themselves.

"Teacher! Teacher!" one of the little girls raised her hand.

"what's up?"

"After we learn all this, will we go to the battlefield?" the little girl asked.

The other girls were also watching Isaac.

Isaac smiled and said, "No need."

"Then why do we need to learn these things?"

"To protect yourself when a crisis comes," Isaac said, "You can hate fighting, but don't forget how to fight."

"Okay." The girl sat down.

Isaac looked at them and continued, "If one day a country needs to send its children to the battlefield, it proves that the country is not far from destruction, and the soldiers of that country can collectively commit suicide by swallowing excrement because they have failed to protect their country."

As Isaac spoke, the children below listened quietly.

“You are not my citizens, but you are my students. If one day I, your teacher, want you to go to the battlefield to protect me, it proves that I am nothing but a useless piece of trash.”

“But I want to protect my teacher!” a little girl below said.

"I also want!"

"I want to protect my teacher too!"

Isaac looked at the group of innocent children and smiled brightly as well: "When you grow up, you can do whatever you want, but for now, your teacher will protect you."

"Although your teacher is an absolute villain."

Chapter 286: The Blind Girl

"Mr. Satomi... what is this?"

It was another early morning, and apart from the increased number of protests against the cursed child, everything else in Tokyo remained the same.

In the outer perimeter area, Elder Matsuzaki looked at the enormous building that shouldn't have been there and asked Isaac beside him.

“Oh, this is a relatively advanced automated guard tower from the United States a few years ago. One of the police officers from our Tiantong Civil Security Company used to be a US military officer stationed in Japan. I asked him to use his connections to get one for me at a low price,” Isaac said.

Matsuzaki looked at the building with embarrassment; the huge and menacing machine guns on it were quite unsettling.

"This outpost is said to be fully automated."

As he spoke, Isaac threw a stone into the watchtower.

boom! ! !

In an instant, the machine gun above fired a shot at the rock, which immediately turned into fragments.

"Hmm, the quality is alright."

"..."

“Let’s suspend classes for today. Someone is coming over to turn this place into a defensive fortress. Don’t worry, the cost will be covered by Tiantong Civil Security Company for now,” Isaac said.

“…Alright, thank you in advance, Mr. Satomi.” Elder Matsuzaki had no choice but to agree.

This is all for the safety of the children.

Since there are no classes today, everyone is free.

Natsuyo Senju continues to study under Sumire Muroto, while Enju Aihara continues to attend her original elementary school.

Tina was the only one with nothing to do.

"Brother, can you come out and play with me today?" Tina asked, tugging at Isaac's sleeve.

"Huh? Don't you usually sleep in the morning?" Isaac asked.

Tina is the originator of the owl factor, one of whose characteristics is that she is particularly energetic at night, but becomes very sleepy in the morning.

“I tried taking sleeping pills at night and then staying alert during the day,” Tina laughed.

There's no need to force yourself to do that.

"No, this is what I want to do. I also want to live with my brother, Ms. Enju, Ms. Natsume, and President Tendo."

Tina continued, "I am very grateful to Mr. Rentaro... The Tendo Civil Security Company is so warm and comfortable, I want to stay here forever. This is the happiest time of my life so far."

Recalling her dark life with Dr. Rand, and then thinking about her life here, Tina felt it was like a dream.

"I see. Then I won't force you," Isaac said. "Where do you want to go?"

"Let's go to the commercial street in the city center."
