Persona: Devil Summoner

"Hey hey hey!? What am I wearing?!"

Gao Juan An was shocked by the sudden change of her clothes, which is indeed something worth complaining about.

No one knows what the principle is...

Moreover, until just now, because Kamoshida attracted hatred here, Takamaki An had no time to observe. Now, although she could identify Ryuji and Amamiya Ren by their hair, the two of them, together with Jiang Tianwei, were wearing strange costumes, the kind that would not be out of place even if they were thrown into a cosplay convention.

"You, what are you guys wearing?!"

Seeing her confused look, what else can we say?

"Anyway, let's retreat for now and have a good rest."

Chapter 40 New Encounter

It seems that the condition for awakening persona is to make people fall into a whirlpool of emotions. Perhaps for this reason, awakening persona is often accompanied by intense mental exhaustion. The same is true for Kasumaki An. She feels top-heavy and cannot continue fighting at all.

Although I really want to deal with Mr. Kamoshida as soon as possible, I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. It would be funny if I went there with a tired body and got killed in return.

Because the volleyball team was preparing for the national competition during this period, Mr. Kamoshida couldn't do anything to everyone, whether he wanted to or not. So when he threatened to do that, he mentioned that he would deal with everyone at the next faculty meeting.

Because before that, he really didn't have much energy.

"Hey... you guys can actually enter that kind of place..."

Gao Juanxing was lying on the table with a tired look on her face, her whole body limp, like a soft-bodied creature. She was sipping milk tea from a cup with a straw in her mouth.

This is Jiang Tianwei's home.

Since you want to sort out the current situation, you must have a place to rest!

At first, Long Si suggested going to a family restaurant, but Jiang Tianwei rejected it outright: "What's wrong with your brains, discussing private topics in a place where people come and go?" In the end, he overruled everyone and chose his own home as the venue for the gathering. Although the walls here are thin, it is completely fine if you speak in a low voice.

In fact, now Jiang Tianwei was shocked when he recalled the conversation with Amamiya Lian in the Internet cafe. What would happen if someone checked the surveillance footage of that period?

Now we can only pray that the people watching the surveillance video feel that they are all suffering from chuunibyou and that what they are discussing is the content of the game.

Morgana and Amamiya Ren had explained the palace-related matters to Kaomaki An in a few words, but to be honest, she still didn't quite understand and only had a vague understanding. However, the core issue had been clarified.

First, the lord of the palace, Kamoshida, can be seen as the infinitely expanded incarnation of the person himself. He is Kamoshida, but he is not him. He is Kamoshida because he represents the truest thoughts in the heart of Kamoshida. After all, people will not lie to their own hearts. He is not Kamoshida because he is just a cognitive existence, different from the real person.

Therefore, although he was clearly disturbed several times in the palace, in reality, Kamoshida only became more and more disgusted with these people, without knowing that they were causing trouble in his spiritual world.

The most famous philosophical question raised by the Greek philosopher Socrates is to know yourself. Unexpectedly, a thousand years later, it was realized by an APP developed by an unknown person...

Second, since Kamoshida did such a thing that angered everyone and God because of his distorted desires, as long as the source of his distortion is stolen, Kamoshida may be able to return to being an ordinary person.

Takamaki An only understood these two points. She didn't understand anything else, such as persona, shadow, collective unconscious, subconscious demons, etc.

"Come to think of it... I haven't thanked you properly yet. Thank you for saving Shiho!"

Gao Juanxing thanked Jiang Tianwei solemnly, but if she could get up from the table, this thank you would undoubtedly be more formal. Unfortunately, she really couldn't move her body now.

"You're welcome. Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda."

"What do you mean? I don't understand... Is this English?"

Everyone was stunned by Jiang Tianwei's instinctive Chinese words. Long Si asked back without hope, but was rejected by Gao Juanxing: "How is that possible? I can understand English!"

"Oh, sorry, if translated into Japanese it means that human life is important, and saving someone else's life is a great merit."

"Now I understand what you said."

Gao Juanxing yawned and got up listlessly: "It's almost time for dinner, right? I'll take my leave now, and we'll meet again tomorrow... Let's add each other as friends. We can chat on the phone if we have anything to say."

Gao Juanxing waved her phone at a few people, and they exchanged contact information and formed a group. Amamiya Ren and Long Si took the initiative to take on the task of protecting the flowers. You asked Jiang Tianwei why he didn't go? He really wanted to go... but unfortunately, in ten minutes or so, the place where he worked would start work.

As mentioned before, he works three jobs every day. He delivers newspapers in the morning without fail. He goes to the Chinese restaurant during the day, but now the restaurant has given him a long vacation, so he can rest - just in time to accompany Amamiya Ren and the others to solve Kamoshida's problem.

And at night, he needs to go to the gym to practice with his teammates.

Although he learned a serious martial art, boxing, there was not much difference in training between it and aerobic boxing used for physical exercise and weight loss.

Moreover, although this may not sound very nice, we have to admit that for quite a number of people, the purpose of going to the gym is not to keep fit or lose weight, but to see if they can hook up with their ideal partner.

This is also the reason why the male group prefers beautiful coaches, while a considerable number of female groups prefer handsome coaches.

Although Jiang Tianwei cannot be considered as a top-notch handsome guy, he at least has regular facial features and is young enough. His aerobic boxing classes are never short of students - especially women, especially women who are already working.

After changing trains to Shibuya, Jiang Tianwei went straight to the gym where he worked.

Today's gyms are no different from those in the past, and they are still a group of middle-aged people who are troubled by sub-health and are venting their excess energy. Although the age range of sub-health has been continuously lowered and expanded in recent years, it is a pity that young people today often think that gyms are a classic scam. Many people who have a membership card cannot go to the gym twice a year. Therefore, many young people will not even consider going to the gym. If they want to exercise, they will generally buy a pair of dumbbells and use them at home until they are exhausted. When they finally throw them away, they will say, "Look, I was smart enough not to go to the gym and get a membership card. I really couldn't stick to it!"

"Teacher Jiang, there is a student who wants to attend your class today. Is that convenient?"

Jiang Tianwei had just changed into tight sportswear when he heard a familiar colleague asking questions outside the changing room.

"It's convenient."

What's so inconvenient about this?

Jiang Tianwei was puzzled: If you drive one sheep, you will be able to drive two sheep away. The more students you have, the more money you will earn. No one can resist money, right?

For some reason, it felt like the people outside were relieved, and they were almost expressing their gratitude profusely.

"Great, Teacher Jiang! I'll leave it to you!!!"

The other party felt as if he had been pardoned and ran away after saying this.

This abnormal behavior made Jiang Tianwei feel that something was wrong...

What on earth is this kid doing?

When I got to my classroom, someone was already waiting there.

Do you still remember Wu Jian Miao?

That strange person who wears clothes that look like those of a visual kei singer in private.

The client that Jiang Tianwei met today was simply Wu Jianmiao plus, with short hair, a pair of silver skull earrings, and a leather jacket. Zippers, spikes, and metal decorations could be seen at almost all the seams. Inside the open collar were two pieces of clothing, a black base shirt and a white vest on the outside, with two large holes on the chest, revealing the black inside. At first glance, it looked like a skull was worn on the body.

The lower body is a pair of deliberately worn jeans and high-top sneakers. The overall outfit looks hard to describe.

But you can tell it's a woman.

As soon as she saw Jiang Tianwei coming in, she took the initiative to talk to him: "Are you Teacher Jiang Tianwei? I heard that your boxing class is very valuable - please! Please train me into a man!"

Chapter 41 I am a teacher to the gang leader

In literary works, there is often such a description: the other person exudes oppressive pressure.

Today Jiang Tianwei personally experienced this kind of oppressive pressure. It turns out that the things described in literary works are often not false. It’s just that you have not experienced them personally, so you cannot understand their authenticity.

For example, right now, the punk-looking girl in front of Jiang Tianwei gives people a trembling sense of oppression.

It seems that it is also because of this pressure that in the past, there would be a dozen or even twenty or thirty women in my class. Unexpectedly, there was no one today. There were only three people in the empty classroom: Jiang Tianwei, the punk girl, and a man who looked like a housekeeper. He looked very old, with white hair and beard. He was wearing a black suit, and the lines of his muscles could be seen through the fabric... The most terrifying thing was the tattoo extending from his sleeves and clinging to the back of his hand. It looked like the tail of something...

Whether in China or Japan, society does not encourage people to get tattoos, especially in Japan, where tattoos are taken very seriously. Judging from the little tail on the back of the hand, I'm afraid this person's entire arm is covered with tattoos... It makes people think of...

Underworld.

As the saying goes, the fox borrows the power of the tiger. Sometimes, the pressure is not just the pressure of one person. Although this punk girl looks very heroic, the old housekeeper behind her is too scary. He exudes a temperament of "believe it or not, I will kill you".

I don't know if it's because I'm too emotional or have too many associations. When Jiang Tianwei recalled the situation where Amamiya Ren and Sakamoto Ryuji pulled out guns and shot indiscriminately in the palace, he suddenly began to worry: Could it be that those two guys also cut off their little fingers and became gangsters? ! "

"Teacher Jiang, right? I'm leaving my young master in your care."

The old housekeeper bowed deeply to Jiang Tianwei, looking very polite. Jiang Tianwei hurriedly wanted to help the old man, but the old man stopped first, leaving Jiang Tianwei's hands suspended in mid-air, which was very embarrassing.

"Uh, why me?"

This is the thing that Jiang Tianwei is most curious about.

"Oh, are you asking why you were chosen?"

The old butler narrowed his eyes.

"Excuse us, we have investigated your background. Your father died early, your mother remarried, and you have no interpersonal relationships.

It can be described as almost zero. If such a person suddenly disappears from society, it will not cause any waves. "

"Why?!".

Although Jiang Tianwei thought that the other party might be "in the underworld", he didn't expect that the other party would admit it so readily. At this time, Jiang Tianwei remembered that Japan is the only country in the world that allows gangs to be legal...

"I think a smart person like Mr. Jiang has already guessed our identities. So, please don't ask too many questions that you shouldn't ask. As long as you can keep the secret, we are not willing to take action against ordinary people. So, do you understand everything about my young master?"

"I, I, I, I understand! I promise to keep the fact that she's taking classes here a secret!"

"That's good. Since this is a secret course, please give the young master one-on-one guidance. We will compensate you for the financial losses caused to you during this period in one go after the final calculation."

The old butler's tone was very sincere and polite, but the meaning of his words was frightening. Before he knew it, Jiang Tianwei was soaked all over and nodded continuously.

In reality, he really has no intention of confronting the gang directly. Bravery and recklessness are two different things.

"You don't have to be afraid, teacher. As long as you train me well, it will be safe. There's no need to listen to the old man's threats."

The punk girl also comforted him in the same way.

"Haha, how can this be considered a bluff? People tend to talk incessantly once they get older. This is just an old man talking to himself...hahaha..."

Although the old butler was smiling, there was no smile in his eyes. Jiang Tianwei knew very well that if the old man in front of him could say it, he would definitely be able to do it...

Now he finally understood why that colleague had asked him tentatively whether he could accept it, and why he looked as if he had been pardoned after he said he accepted it. It turned out that you were using me as a shield!

(It seems like I’m in big trouble…)

Jiang Tianwei thought so with some self-mockery, but soon, a question that made him extremely curious came to his mind: Why does this girl have to improve her [masculinity]?

He looked at the girl's hopeful expression, then at the old housekeeper's fake smile, and finally swallowed all his questions with saliva.

(I really don’t have the courage to ask this question…).

Aerobic boxing is a popular fitness program in recent times. It is not difficult to conclude from the name that it is very similar to boxing. It is better to say that in terms of training methods, there is no essential difference between them. The only difference is that an indispensable part of boxing is double fighting, while aerobic boxing does not require double fighting. The other differences are almost the same.

Rope skipping, air boxing, sandbag hitting and target holding exercises are the basics, supplemented by a series of basic physical training. Jiang Tianwei does a set every night. It can be said that he is already familiar with it. Although he was shocked by the deterrence of the other gangsters at the beginning, he was almost relieved after two sets of boxing. "

"Arms, use force. Don't let your elbows collapse. Keep your feet on the ground and push the power up from your hips!"

"is teacher!"

Jiang Tianwei taught with full energy, and the punk girl did not show the aura of a gangster who kept people at a distance. But the old housekeeper's eyes behind her were very glaring.

When you start working, time passes quickly, and before you know it, it's time to finish work.

Jiang Tianwei finally breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he had finally made it.

"Thank you, Teacher Jiang. I have benefited a lot from you."

The punk girl bowed her head seriously to Jiang Tianwei, quite politely.

(The young master of a gang... so manly... I always feel that every family has its own problems...)

After seeing off the punk girl and the old housekeeper, Jiang Tianwei glanced at the registration form at the front desk. On it was written the girl's name - Ying Ying, a name that was awkward to pronounce in Chinese.

————————————————————

At the same time, outside the gym, the girl got into the butler's black limousine.

"How is it, young master?"

"...For now, it's still interesting..."

The girl held her chin with one hand and leaned her head against the car door. The bumps in the car made her feel like she was swimming in the wind.

The sound of the car door reached her head, as if it could make her thoughts clearer.

"There is no need to force yourself to come to a conclusion. After all, you are still young and have plenty of time to waste. Haha, when you live to my age, you will know that there are not so many things in this world that require conclusions."

"Well...thanks, old man."

Chapter 42: As a Phantom Thief, Sending a Warning Letter Is a Necessary Method

Nothing happened that night. The next morning, after Jiang Tianwei delivered the newspapers, he went to wait near the school as usual, waiting for Amamiya Lian and the others to finish school.

Because a student attempted suicide on the rooftop before, the leaders would not sit idly by and the first thing they did was to seal off the rooftop. Jiang Tianwei simply did not wear his school uniform and found a cafe near the school and sat there with a cup of coffee until the afternoon.
