Although students usually have to apply to leave the campus, Chizuru Tachibana obviously did not restrict Jiang Zao in this regard. Knowing that he sometimes needed to go on missions, she gave him the right to enter and leave the school freely.

Relying on this authority, Jiang Zao sneaked out of the school to buy some snacks and ingredients. Although there was a vending machine in the dormitory, there was no Coke in it. Can you believe it?

Jiang Zao, who couldn't accept life without happy water, realized how remote this place was after leaving the school. He walked for half an hour before he saw a convenience store. He didn't know if this convenience store specialized in doing business with Mihama Academy, as it even had food for sale.

It was already seven or eight o'clock in the evening when Jiang Zao returned to the student dormitory carrying large and small bags of things. He glanced at the door and saw that under the signs with the members' names on them, there were magnets with the words "Inside the House" written on them. Jiang Zao also turned the magnet under his own name from "Out" to "Inside the House". It seemed that he would not be able to see other members of the school today.

Jiang Zao returned to his room and found that he had missed the most important thing.

There are no kitchen utensils in his room!

Seeing the kitchen, Jiang Zao subconsciously thought that there would be kitchen utensils in the room. It seemed that he miscalculated. Unable to cook for the time being, Jiang Zao could only eat some snacks and then take a shower.

A sign saying "For Men Only" was hung outside the public bathhouse, and Jiang Zao sat happily in the huge pool, enjoying a bath.

During the six years, Jiang Zao made a lot of preparations relying on his memory of the plot. It was a pity that when he first came here, he did not solve the biggest problem, Heath-Oslo.

Six years have also made Jiang Zao forget many plot details about this world. According to the system's prompts, this is the price the gods have to pay for giving him a new identity in this world.

Anyway, I have already made all the preparations I can, so it doesn't matter whether I remember the details of the plot or not. After all, due to my interference, many things are different from the original. If I blindly use the plot in my memory as a reference, I will suffer a great loss.

Jiang Zao saw through the bathroom glass that the camera on the wall not far away was pointed at this side. Wanting to test it, he stood up and stretched facing the camera, then picked up his towel and left the bathhouse as if nothing had happened.

A system hidden deep underground suddenly went into disorder, causing all the people in the institute to get busy. They couldn't figure out why the system that had already been put into use had malfunctioned.

"Qianhe, why can the camera next to the wall be pointed at the bathhouse? Are you using the surveillance to spy on me?" Jiang Zao sent this text message and quickly received a reply.

"No! You're just a minor, there's nothing to see. But I remember the camera over there was set so that it can't be turned towards the bathhouse. I'll go check it later."

Do you believe that you are the one who looks more like a minor when we go out together? Although Jiang Zao is not very tall at this time, about 175cm, he is much taller than Tachibana Chizuru who is only 157cm tall.

Come to think of it, when I rescued her, she seemed to be about the same height, right?

Jiang Zao felt that it would be better for him not to think too much about Chizuru Tachibana's growth issues. It would be bad if he accidentally expressed his guess and made her angry. After all, she was the nominal principal, so he should give her some face.

"A-choo!" Because of this sneeze, the coffee in Chizuru Tachibana's hand spilled all over the table and wet a lot of the documents that she had just processed.

"Ahhhhh! My files!" Her cries were heard from the principal's office.

After taking a shower, Jiang Zao lay on the bed and soon fell asleep. In his dream, he returned to the time when he was just adopted into the Fengjian family.

……

"This will be your home from now on." Kazami Ichihime walked into the house with Jiang Zao in light steps. Her parents were still dealing with the adoption procedures and had not returned. Kazami Ichihime, who finally had a younger brother of her own, obviously couldn't contain her excitement, so she left them and took Jiang Zao home first.

"Well... I have to give you a name. What should I call you?" Even a genius like Feng Jianyiji was troubled by the important matter of naming. She wanted to give her brother a nice name, but she also wanted the name to sound more compatible with her own name.

"Jiang Zao, my name."

"Huh? This was your previous name, right?"

"Jiang Zao is fine, sister."

"Hmm~" Kazami Ichihime, who was enjoying being called sister, thought that it was not a bad idea to let her brother keep his previous name. But why did she feel so happy just hearing the word "sister"?

"Good brother, come here, sister will take you to the room, you will live with sister."

"Yes, sister." The seven-year-old Jiang Zao was particularly obedient, which made Fengjian Yiji even more satisfied with this younger brother.

When Kazami Ichihime brought Jiang Zao into the room, she realized that the double bunk bed she had bought had not been delivered yet. She scratched her head in embarrassment and decided to take her brother to take a bath and change into the new clothes she had bought first.

Jiang Zao took a shower and changed into the light blue pajamas prepared by Kazuhime Kazama. The Kazama couple had just returned home. Kazuhime Kazama was more like the head of the family than her father. In the face of his father's somewhat indignant attitude, she officially announced his name.

In the following time, Jiang Zao's taciturn but extremely obedient attitude made Feng Jian Yiji more determined to train her younger brother into the kind of person she wanted him to be. For this reason, she even refused many art exhibitions that she should have participated in. After entering junior high school, she reduced the number of paintings she produced. She firmly grasped the family's economic lifeline and voice in her hands, just to train her younger brother Jiang Zao well.

Fengjian's father therefore disliked his adopted son Jiang Zao, but he did not dare to do anything small. He saw how much his daughter doted on her younger brother, not to mention that she was the family's financial source.

The dull daily life only lasted until Kazama Ichihime disappeared. Jiang Zao returned home from school as usual and stayed in the room waiting for Kazama Ichihime to come home, but he only heard the hysterical roar of Kazama's father at the school teacher and the sobbing of Kazama's mother.

Chapter 21 The Absent Person

"Stop right there!"

"do not want!"

"Boom!"

Jiang Zao was awakened by a loud noise in the morning. Before he opened his eyes, he felt something small jump onto his bed and crawl into his quilt.

"Wow!" Zhou Fang Tianyin, who ran into the administrator's room chasing Ruchao Shicai, obviously did not expect that there was a boy sleeping in it. He was at a loss, holding a comb and staring at Jiang Zao's bed: "Um... who are you?"

The "little animal" in Jiang Zao's quilt obviously didn't want to be caught, so it groped its way onto him, allowing the still confused Jiang Zao to hug him and gently rub the "little animal's" head as he had done when he slept with Kazemi Ikki before.

"Meow~" The "little animal" in the quilt was enjoying Jiang Zao's pat on the head docilely.

Zhou Fang Tianyin finally reacted and grabbed the bulge of the quilt on Jiang Zao's body: "Come out and comb my hair quickly!"

"No!" A tender and childish voice came from the quilt, making Jiang Zao completely sober up. It turned out that he was hugging someone.

As Zhou Fang Tianyin became more and more irritable and used more force, the person in the quilt shouted deliberately: "Don't be so hard, don't~"

“Don’t say 'don’t drag out the sound' in such a vulgar way!” Zhou Fang Tianyin had no choice but to let go of her hands.

A girl broke into his bedroom early in the morning, and even pressed her warm body against him. As a healthy boy in the prime of his youth, Jiang Zao could not stand it, and quickly got rid of the person who was clinging to him.

"Although it is indeed a pleasure to see a beautiful girl when I wake up in the morning, please do not barge into my room without permission." Jiang Zao sat up and used the quilt to slightly cover his excited good brother.

"Ah, you are the transfer student that the principal mentioned?" Suho Ten'ne suppressed Irisua Shicai in his hand and showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.

"Yes, just call me Jiang Zao. Please give me your guidance."

"Eh? Jiang Zao?" Zhou Fang Tianyin showed a surprised expression, but soon put on a smile again, handed the comb in his hand to Ruchao Shicai, tidied up his clothes that were a little messy due to the play, and held Jiang Zao's outstretched right hand: "Nice to meet you, my name is Zhou Fang Tianyin, Jiang Zao can just call me Tianyin."

"My name is Ruchao Shicai."

"This child actually took the initiative to say hello to a stranger!" Zhou Fang Tianyin felt incredible. Even she spent a lot of time to build a good relationship with Ruchao Shicai who had just come to the school. At the beginning, it was even very difficult for her to say hello to her normally.

"Hello, Shicai." Jiang Zao reached out and touched the head of Ruchao Shicai, who was lying on the side of the bed and looked a little listless because she was caught by Zhou Fang Tianyin.

"It's so easy to meet Shicai." Zhou Fang Tianyin couldn't help feeling jealous, thinking back to how she had tried so hard to make friends with Shicai, but now Jiang Zao could touch her head just by meeting her for the first time.

"Then please both of you leave for now. I need to change my clothes."

"It turns out that Jiang Zao would feel embarrassed to change clothes in front of others." Zhou Fang Tianyin winked cunningly.

“I think that’s how normal people would react.”

"Okay, Shicai, let's go out and help you comb your hair."

"Oh, I've been caught by the big devil Sister Tian." Zhou Hou Tianyin grabbed the back of Shicai's collar and led her out of the bedroom.

Jiang Zao noticed that before Suoh Tenone left, she observed the door lock of the administrator's office with a look that she thought was not noticed. It seemed that she was already guessing whether Jiang Zao was the younger brother of Kazami Ikki, or just someone with the same name.

Except for Jiang Zao, all the students in this school have psychological trauma to some extent, or they are all qualified problem children. Among them, the person who is most closely related to Jiang Zao is Suho Tenon, who is the only survivor of the travel accident involving Kazami Ikki.

The person who tied the bell must untie it. At least Jiang Zao has no good way to untie her knot now. It is impossible to run to her and say to her: "Girl, my sister is not dead yet. You can see her if you stay in the academy for a while."

Not to mention whether the other party will believe this, Jiang Zao will feel like a lunatic. She doesn't know your true identity and thinks you are an orphan who lost her sister and has a broken family. If you say such things to her at this time, the best outcome would be for her to give you a polite fake smile.

When Jiang Zao walked out of the room, he saw Suoh Tenyin, Irisou Shicai, and Komine Yuki waiting for him in the hall outside. He was flattered: "So many people are waiting for me. It's really embarrassing."

"Good morning, Jiang Zao." Xiao Ling Xing unexpectedly did not wear a maid outfit, but changed into a school uniform.

"Good morning, Xing, it turns out there are times when you don't wear a maid outfit." Jiang Zao thought she never took off her maid outfit.

"When I'm in school, I will still wear school uniform. But don't worry, I have maid outfits in various styles to deal with various situations, such as sports, summer, medical..." As if Jiang Zao had pressed a strange switch, Xiaoling Xing kept introducing her maid outfit to him.

"Okay, okay, Xing, let's talk about the maid outfit later. Let's go to school first, or we'll be late." Zhou Fang Tianyin interrupted her quickly.

"That's true. It would be bad if I were late and made the principal angry."

"It would be scary if a nice person like Chizuru Chizuru got angry." It seems that Irisuo Shicai likes to address others in her own unique way.

After finishing their chat, the few of them came to the classroom under the leadership of Xiaoling Xing. Jiang Zao also met Matsushima Mitsuru with twin ponytails and blonde hair. They introduced themselves to each other during the other party's tsundere speech that couldn't be more standard.

Jiang Zao had a sad expression on his face. He put his hands on Matsushima Man's shoulders and said, "Man, although you played the role of a tsundere very successfully, this is no longer the world of tsunderes."

"Gah..."

"Ah, Manman has turned into stone!" Irichō Shicai poked Matsushima Manman, who had turned into a stone sculpture, with her fingers out of curiosity.

"Tsundere...Tsundere is never out of style!" After shouting like this, Matsushima Man secretly swore in his heart that he must let Jiang Zao see the charm of a tsundere, and returned to his seat to start planning.

"Pfft..." Zhou Hou Tianyin laughed secretly, seeming to find it quite interesting that Jiang Zao teasing Matsushima Man like this.

"Good morning!" Chizuru Tachibana entered the classroom on time, and the students returned to their seats.

Seeing that there was no designated seat for him, Jiang Zao chose the second to last seat by the window, commonly known as the "protagonist seat", without hesitation.

Chizuru Tachibana glanced around the classroom and saw that there were only five students in the classroom. She showed a complicated expression: "It seems that Sakaki-san is still absent."

"Isn't she always like this lately?" Matsushima Man was a little envious of this kind of blatant skipping of classes, with a hint of resentment in his tone.

"Indeed, she has been coming to the classroom in the evening recently."

"What happened to Yumimi?"

"Did something happen?"

The others also expressed their opinions, and it can be seen that they have a good relationship with each other.

"Ahaha..." Chizuru Tachibana more or less knew the reason why Yumiko Sakaki didn't come to class. When she announced to her classmates that a male transfer student would be transferring to the school, she ran to the principal's office angrily to protest.

"Principal! You brought a boy into a school full of women. Do you want us all to be raped?"

Yumiko Sakaki allowed Jiang Zao to enroll in the school against all odds. She was probably using this method to silently express her dissatisfaction and opposition.

Because the students in the classroom are of different ages, classes are mainly based on self-study. When encountering something they don't understand, they ask senior students or Chizuru Tachibana. This teaching method reminds Jiang Zao of Meowpass's school.

Judging from Jiang Zao's age, he should actually be in the second grade like Matsushima Mitsuru and Sakaki Yumiko, but Chizuru Tachibana took his special experience into consideration and directly arranged him into the first grade.

There was nothing much to say about the classes. With the knowledge Jiang Zao had accumulated in the past six years and from his previous life, he was well prepared for high school and even college exams. After all, he had a "desirable and attainable" talent and could learn anything very quickly.

On the surface, he pretended to read the textbook seriously, but in fact, Jiang Zao was thinking in his heart that he had been constantly expanding and optimizing the ability of discharge for a long time.

Chapter 22: The Seemingly Calm Girls

About three years ago, Jiang Zao had completely integrated Uncle Hei's abilities and experience into himself. He could even release his abilities without using cards. Even the shadow behind him when using cards turned into his own appearance. However, that useful bulletproof windbreaker and dagger could only be conjured up by using cards.

After that, Jiang Zao began to study more uses of the discharge ability. He had always discharged electric current out of his body to attack others, but thinking about it in reverse, could he learn from a certain Tokiwadai ace and use weak electric current to stimulate his muscles and exert extraordinary strength?

Through his continuous experiments over the years, he came to the conclusion that it was not possible. Jiang Zao could not use electric current to stimulate muscles to strengthen himself like Pao Jie did. He felt that the key factor still lay in those calculation formulas.

Without that thing, no matter how Jiang Zao used his ability, it would only make his muscles feel numb and tingling, without any effect on strengthening himself. He also did not dare to increase the intensity of the current easily, in case he accidentally electrocuted himself and became paralyzed. That would be hilarious.

The dream of recreating the hand-made A Certain Scientific Railgun was thus shattered.

The distance of the discharge ability is also one of the reasons that limit Jiang Zao's expansion of his ability. If he does not rely on the special dagger and silk thread transformed by the cards, he can at most release the electric current no more than three or four centimeters away from his body.

After all, it is only Uncle Hei's superficial ability, with too many limitations. If Jiang Zao obtained the ability to manipulate atoms, then he could shout "Yin, send me the target's location", and then teleport directly to someone and stab them.

After a day's class, Xiaoling Xing seemed to have something to say to Jiang Zao alone, but was excitedly pulled away by Ruchao Shicai. Thinking that there would be opportunities later, she could only put the idea aside for the time being.

Jiang Zao chose to continue walking around the teaching building for a while. After all, he still had to say hello to Yumiko Sakaki, whom he had never met before.

The setting sun at dusk shone into the classroom through the window. Yumiko Sakaki came to the classroom at this time just as others had said. She sat in a seat by the window, flipping through a book in her hands.

"Hello, Yumiko Sakaki who skipped class." Jiang Zao leaned against the door frame of the classroom and greeted the black-haired girl who exuded a piercing aura.

Yumiko Sakaki's hand that was turning the pages of the book paused slightly, and she continued reading as if nothing had happened, completely ignoring Jiang Zao and treating him as if he were air.

"Hello? Yumiko-san?" Seeing that the other party did not respond, Jiang Zao deliberately approached and said loudly: "So she has hearing impairment? Why didn't Chizuru tell me about this?"

The sharp handmade knife that had been hidden in her hand was swung directly towards the approaching Jiang Zao. Looking at the expression on Yumiko Sakaki's face, it seemed that she was not joking at all. She really wanted to send Jiang Zao to the hospital with one knife.

"Snap." Jiang Zao easily caught her right hand that was wielding the knife, and tapped her wrist with his fingertips, releasing a trace of electric current, causing her to involuntarily loosen her tightly grasped handmade knife.

"You really showed no mercy. If it were a normal boy, he would have been admitted to the hospital."

"so what?"

Seeing that Yumiko Sakaki had no intention of reflecting on herself and even tried hard to maintain a cold attitude in an attempt to overpower him in momentum, Jiang Zao began to doubt whether Chizuru Tachibana had asked him to come to school or to provide psychological treatment for these problem children.

"Forget it, I just wanted to say hello to you. My name is Jiang Zao, and I'm 16 years old." Jiang Zao picked up the handmade knife that fell on the ground and gave it back to Yumiko Sakaki: "Well, that's all the information I'll reveal to you for now. Goodbye, Sakaki-san who skipped class."

Yumiko Sakaki looked at Jiang Zao's departing back, and she kept extending and retracting the blade of her handmade knife. She would not recognize this suspicious boy who suddenly transferred into the school. No matter how she collected information, all she got was information about an adopted orphan.

It seems that I need to spend money to collect it through "that" website. Yumiko Sakaki made up her mind, sat back in her chair, and continued to flip through the mystery novel she had not finished reading.

Jiang Zao pushed open the door of his bedroom, and the beautiful scenery inside made him whistle softly.
