Alchemists do not need self-cultivation

She didn't even dare to hope that she could displace Violet and take her place; all she hoped for was to continue living by Isaac's side.

If Isaac had married and had children like a normal person, I wouldn't have had any say in the matter. The current situation is at least more acceptable than I imagined.

"Just wondering, when did you and Violet become a couple?" Ayana suddenly asked.

"Oh? Of course, it was not long ago."

"So...did you become a couple first or had a child first?"

"The child came first."

"……I see."

After a brief analysis, Ayana finally understood everything.

Logically speaking, given Isaac's personality, even if he and Violet were very close, it would be impossible for them to suddenly start dating after being apart for three months. The reason they started dating must be because they suddenly used genetic technology to create a child, which greatly deepened their bond.

In other words, the child was the key to their rapid relationship.

'So, should I change my approach now?'

Thinking this, Ayana looked up at Isaac and said, "This child is so cute."

Right?

Did you bring it here?

"No, I left him at my hometown. I don't really want him to know about my work here."

As Isaac spoke, he suddenly lowered his voice and said to Ayana.

"I've only told you about this, apart from a few core members of IW. I haven't even told my parents (in the current world). You must keep it a secret for me."

"Yes, I swear I will never let a second person know about this."

Ayana's eyes suddenly hardened.

"If I find out, I'll turn him into a guinea pig in my lab."

"No, no, no, it's not that serious. Actually, I really want to brag about this to others. I always feel restless if I don't show off my own child to others," Isaac laughed.

“I see, but don’t tell just anyone,” Ayana said. “If the child were here, I could help take care of him.”

"what?"

“You and Violet must be busy with your own things, so I can take on the role of a nanny. I’m confident I can handle taking care of a child.”

"I think we should forget about it. You have to go to school and work at the research institute. I would feel bad if you had to take care of the child as well. It would be like exploiting your labor to the maximum extent."

"No, taking care of children is a stress reliever for me," Ayana said with a smile.

Of course, her thoughts were not that simple.

This mentally unstable girl only wanted to stay by Isaac's side, and now a very good opportunity was presented to her.

That's the child in the photo.

Only by taking care of the child herself and maintaining a close relationship with him can she ensure that her connection with Isaac will never be severed.

"You're so understanding, Ayana," Isaac said with a smile. "If there's a chance, I'll let you take care of the kids. After all, neither Violet nor I have any experience with children, and we're still figuring it out."

"Leave it to me without worry."

"Huh? What are you talking about?"

Suddenly, a voice interrupted Isaac and Ayana's conversation. Chidori had somehow returned to the classroom and leaned her head in.

"Long time no see, Isaac. What weird photos did you show Ayana as soon as you got back?"

"What do you mean by a weird photo? This is my adorable baby."

"what!?"

Without saying a word, Chidori took the photo from Ayana's hand and started looking at it.

"...The child in the photo looks a bit like Violet...but I remember the last time I saw Violet, she didn't seem pregnant at all. Could it be that you and Violet were together before..."

No, nothing was done.

"This child didn't do anything... um..."

Chidori seemed to have thought of something, looked at Isaac with some pity, and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "Um... you've worked hard."

"what?"

"You must stay strong."

Isaac: "?"

"What kind of unhealthy plot are you thinking about, Xiao Yao? This is a clone created using Isaac and Violet's genes."

"Ah, this..."

Upon hearing this explanation, Chidori Kaname's cheeks flushed slightly.

It was obvious that she had just thought Isaac had been cheated on.

She examined the photo carefully and said with a smile, "Upon closer inspection, he's quite a cute child."

Isaac: "Hmm~"

"I'm not praising you. The child is cute only because he looks like Violet, it has nothing to do with you."

"Your eyes look a lot like mine."

Ayana suddenly stood up, snatched the photo from Chidori's hand, and looked at her with a threatening gaze.

"Xiao Yao, we're friends, don't try to take away my chance to raise your child."

"Well... I didn't intend to steal that thing."

Chapter 1299: Causing Trouble as Soon as He Arrived at School

"It's perfect timing, Isaac, you're back. Why don't you go to the student council office?"

"Is there anything wrong with President Lin Shui?"

"What else could it be? Sousuke's gotten into trouble again," Chidori said, covering her face. "You should go check on him; he's your subordinate, you know."

"Ok."

Although quite a while had passed for Isaac, he still remembered that he was the student council's accountant and disciplinary committee member, so he figured he might as well take care of things if something happened.

……

Isaac and Chidori left their seats to go to the student council office.

I happened to see student council president Atsushi Hayashi and student council secretary Ren Mikihara, as well as Sousuke Sagara who was being punished by standing inside, and a... rather unconventional-looking thug.

"Hey, it's been a long time since I've seen President Lin Shui."

"Welcome back to school, Satoshi."

Lin Shuidun, dressed in a white shirt that was completely different from the school uniform, with white hair and a fan in his hand, said with a smile.

Has the student council recruited any new members recently?

"No, no, no, this hoodlum who looks like a monkey is definitely not a new member of the student council."

The thug roared, "Who are you calling someone who looks like a monkey?!"

Who is that?

"It was brought by Sagara-san."

"I see."

Isaac turned to look at Sagara Sousuke.

"Sagara."

"Yes!"

Upon hearing Isaac's call, Sagara Sousuke immediately stood up straight.

Is this person your friend?

"no!"

Briefly explain the situation.

"Understood! At 7:30 this morning, some thugs harassed Fujisawa Souji and Millennium on their way to school. I carried out the chase at 7:32. At 12:20, this person appeared in the student council office."

"Is he one of those thugs from this morning?"

"Definitely."

"Very good, I understand the situation."

Isaac nodded, then turned to Lin Shui and said, "President Lin Shui, I understand the general situation. This matter was due to Sagara Sousuke's negligence, and I also bear an unshirkable responsibility for it, so let me take charge."

"Permission granted."

Chidori, standing to the side, chuckled and said, "Looks like you've finally become reliable after three months..."

However, before Chidori could finish speaking, Isaac picked up a wooden pen holder from his desk and smashed it hard on the thug's head.

Bang! ! !

As the thug stared in astonishment, blood slowly trickled down his face, and then his eyes rolled back before he collapsed backward to the ground.

Kaname Chidori: "What are you doing?!"

She thought Isaac's look of admitting his mistake meant he was planning to resolve the matter through discussion, but she never expected it to cause someone's head to explode.

"What should we do...? Of course, we should subdue the criminal first."

"You look more like a prisoner than a criminal!"

Chidori roared and looked around, only to find that whether it was Atsushi Hayashimizu, Sousuke Sagara, or even Ren Mikihara, they all looked calm, as if they were completely accepting of the situation.

"Don't worry, he just fainted."

Isaac grabbed the thug by the back of his collar and lifted him up, then said sternly to Sagara Sousuke, "Sagara, you should know how to judge a situation where two protected individuals are attacked at the same time."

"Yes, attack both protected targets simultaneously, assuming they are members of an enemy organization. Once the safety of the protected individuals is confirmed, kill and capture one of them as quickly as possible to extract intelligence."

Are the remaining people still alive?
