Alchemists do not need self-cultivation

Ayana lifted the bento box, picked up a fish cake with her chopsticks, and handed it to Isaac's mouth.

"what?"

Looking at the food already offered to him and then at Cai Cai, whose face was still flushed, Isaac suddenly realized something.

He immediately started rummaging through his briefcase.

"Oh ho, found it." Isaac took out a pair of chopsticks and laughed. "Luckily, I was well prepared today, so I brought cutlery with me. Now it comes in handy. I have to say, I'm a fucking genius."

Cai Cai: "..."

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

"Damn it! Damn it!"

In the girls' restroom of the teaching building, Mao Shibuya, who had previously clashed with Isaac, was angrily kicking the wall.

"That bastard Fujisawa, and that new transfer student, have ruined all our plans!"

"Don't be impulsive, at least we still have a chance."

"cut."

Mao Shibuya was furious when she recalled how Isaac had threatened her.

"We need to find a way to get rid of him, otherwise someone will always try to stop our plans."

"Then what do you suggest we do?"

Standing next to Shibuya Mao was a dignified girl with shoulder-length short hair. She was Okui Shiori, one of the girls who bullied Fujisawa Ayana.

"Hmph, don't we still have 'that'?" Shibuya Mao laughed. "If one person can't beat him, can't a group of people beat him? We'll use that website to contact a few thugs to ambush them at the school gate. Satomi and the others will just get a beating. As for Fujisawa, what do you think a bunch of thugs would do to her?"

"good idea."

She smiled and took out her phone: "We'll take pictures then..."

At this point, she suddenly looked at the screen in disbelief.

"what happened?"

"Why is that webpage gone?"

Chapter 636: Today is a good day~

I must say, Ayana Fujisawa's bento box was actually quite delicious.

Although it's not quite as good as what I make myself, it's still quite delicious.

Unfortunately, the portion size is a bit small; if it's enough for one person, two people will go hungry at the same time.

"Are there any good snack shops near Shirasaki? Let's go there and grab something to eat after school."

"Yes, I know a few."

The relationship between the two gradually became more familiar.

"Speaking of which, what about that guy from this morning?" Isaac asked. "You mean that Daisuke Kawamoto? I didn't see him in class today."

"Wasn't he injured by you?"

"As a student, would you not come to school because of a 'minor' matter like a broken hand or a few broken teeth?"

Isaac's eyes sharpened once again.

In his view, if someone doesn't come to school just because they have a broken hand, then they're not here to study. If they're not here to study, why would they come to this school and happen to be in Fujisawa Ayana's class?

It must be a secret agent (I'm sure of it).

Isaac has decided to find this person and investigate him thoroughly.

In fact, given his current state, if Daisuke Kawamoto were to come to school, Isaac would have a completely different idea:

'Why did this person come to school injured? Is there something important or a mission that kept him going? This person must be a secret agent (I'm sure of it).'

That's roughly the gist of it.

During his nervous outburst, Isaac is completely irrational.

Speaking of spies and agents, Isaac had seen them in Amestris as well.

The person who left a deep impression on him was Ange, the spy from Albion.

This little girl is incredibly talented at such a young age. She played the role of a weak and vulnerable girl, which even fooled Isaac. If she hadn't exposed herself in the end, Isaac would never have been able to discover her true identity.

These underground workers have many tricks up their sleeves, so you have to be careful.

"Are you close to that Daisuke Kawamoto? You mentioned that he's been harassing you since last semester."

“Yes.” Ayana nodded. “Because the messages on the escort website caused me a lot of trouble. He was one of the guys who harassed me back then, and he often physically assaulted me. There was even one time…”

"I have a general understanding."

Whether someone is a secret agent or not can be determined with a little interrogation.

hum~

Isaac's phone vibrated.

He opened it and saw that the IP address he had investigated earlier had been found.

As a special unit of IW, the 'Messenger' is absolutely top-notch in its efficiency.

The text message indicated that the IP address was eventually traced to Mao Shibuya's mobile phone.

“Very good. No matter how well you hide, I still caught you by the tail.”

Isaac couldn't help but laugh.

Based on the previous events, it can be concluded that this girl named Mao Shibuya is an agent of 'Amalgam'.

The next step is to make the arrest.

Having uncovered an enemy so early, Isaac couldn't help but feel a little smug, thinking that he might be able to pass on his undercover experience to Sagara Sousuke, who was about to carry out the same mission.

You will definitely benefit greatly.

"We've finished eating, let's go back to the classroom now, lunch break is almost over."

As Isaac spoke, he helped Ayana organize the bento boxes and cutlery.

"that……"

"I'll wash the lunchbox for you and return it to you before class," Isaac said with a smile.

He's in a great mood now that he's caught a 'spy'.

Ayana stared blankly at Isaac's retreating figure.

'What a gentle boy...'

As for the incident she witnessed Isaac blowing up the shoe cabinet and breaking the arms of two classmates, she selectively ignored it.

--------

As they walked back to the classroom down the corridor, Isaac and Ayana Fujisawa walked side by side, only to be met by Shiori Okui and Mao Shibuya.

Ayana Fujisawa instinctively felt a little scared when she saw them and shrank behind Isaac.

They seemed to perk up again after seeing Ayana Fujisawa, but became somewhat timid after seeing Isaac.

Shiori Okui mustered her courage and walked up to Isaac, frowning as she said, "Move aside."

"You think you can mess with me?"

"you……"

"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll tear your face off, believe it or not?" Isaac smiled.

Although he had a kind expression on his face, what he said was anything but kind.

"Try it if you dare..."

"Let's give it a try."

Isaac took a military knife out of his bag and held it against Okui Shiori's face.

"..."

The cold blade pressed against her cheek made her afraid to utter a single word.

She had absolutely no doubt that this madman was truly capable of taking action.

Seeing that the two remained silent, Isaac put the knife back into his bag and chuckled, "Gentlemen, today is a fine day. Why don't we postpone any potential conflict until tomorrow? What do you say?"

"what?"

"In short, today is a beautiful day."

After Isaac finished speaking, he walked forward.

When Mao Shibuya walked past Ayana Fujisawa, who was hiding behind Isaac, a sinister expression was clearly visible on her face.

"Don't think we'll let this go. Today, you saw that bastard protecting you, but there will come a time when he's not around. Then we'll see how we deal with you."

After saying that, she pulled Okui Shiori along and walked forward.

These words triggered Ayana Fujisawa's fear once again, and her body trembled violently.

She recalled being pinned to the ground and beaten, having her body pierced with needles, and having her arms burned with cigarette butts.

A feeling of suffocation shot from the soles of my feet straight to my head.

They're right. Rentaro can't be with her 24/7. If he has to go out one day, then she...

Just as she was thinking this, Isaac placed his hand on her head.

In an instant, that feeling of suffocation vanished.

"Don't worry," Isaac smiled at her. "I assure you, nothing will happen."

"……Um!"

For some reason, as long as Isaac was by her side, she wouldn't feel afraid; she felt that there was nothing in this world that this boy couldn't do.

“Relax, today is a good day,” Isaac said with a smile.

"Yes, it's a good day." Fujisawa Ayana's originally gloomy face broke into a smile at this moment.
