Shared talent: Please, countless versions of me!

"Hey, Satania, are you alright..." Vinette asked worriedly.

"It's nothing, I just didn't sleep well last night." Satania waved her hand without looking up, indicating that she was still alive.

Before long, Zhang Shan heard Satania's steady breathing.

"That Raphael guy, isn't he going a bit too far..." Zhang Shan turned to look at the doorway, where Raphael was grinning mischievously as he withdrew his head. And there was the familiar girl passing by in the corridor again.

"If I remember correctly, her name was still Marina, without the prefix 'Akizuki'..."

“Never mind her. Although Raffi likes to play pranks, she still knows her limits,” Gabriel said. “After all, Satania has been doing her homework well these past two days and hasn’t bought any strange things, has she?”

Her words brought Zhang Shan back to his senses, and he said, "That's true. Although she looks a bit disheveled, Satania has been completing her assignments very well lately, and she hasn't been fooled by live-streaming sales into buying any useless things."

It seems that Satania really needs a 'master' like Raphael to properly discipline her, otherwise, given how stupid she is, who knows what she'll become in the future~

However, what Zhang Shan didn't notice was that in the front row, an ear twitched slightly, listening to their conversation.

Yukino Yukinoshita pretended to be reading a book, but her mind was actually on the people behind her.

"They seem to be having some kind of academic competition? I'm so curious," Yukino thought to herself.

After arriving at this new school, Yukino's life underwent a significant change.

The most direct consequence was that her ranking in the grade dropped from first to third.

Her grades, which weren't exceptionally outstanding, prevented her from being isolated like before.

But because she usually seems rather aloof, not many people are willing to get close to her.

However, no matter how hard Yukino tried not to pay attention, she couldn't help but be drawn to the daily lives of her classmates, especially the antics of Zhang Shan and his friends (Satania).

Hearing the laughter behind her, Yukino's calm heart couldn't help but feel a surge of longing.

"If we could become friends..."

But this idea only existed for a moment before Yukino hid it away.

I don't really need friends.

At noon, Shiyu arrived at the door of Zhang Shan's classroom carrying several layers of lunch boxes and cautiously peeked inside.

Just then, Zhang Shan looked up and met Shi Yu's gaze. He smiled and said, "Shi Yu is here. Come in quickly!"

As he spoke, Zhang Shan stepped forward, took the lunchbox from Shi Yu's hand, and placed it on the table they had put together.

Facing Gabriel's questioning gaze, Zhang Shan smiled and said, "This is Kasumigaoka Utaha, my friend. She will be exploring the new world game with us in a month."

"I see!" Gabriel clapped her hands and enthusiastically grabbed Shi Yu's hands, saying, "Comrade! What game are you playing now? Night Moon Continent? Or Legendary Arena?"

Shiyu was a bit confused by Gabriel. Games? She rarely played games, but she often read great educational comics...

They looked to Zhang Shan for help, only to find that Zhang Shan was radiating a faint sadness.

"I didn't even notice that Shiyu likes games..."

Just as Shiyu was feeling awkward, Satania pointed at Zhang Shan's lunchbox and asked, "Zhang Shan, what's going on with you? Are you having a big appetite today?"

As she spoke, Satania swallowed hard, unable to resist. She knew that Zhang Shan's bento was delicious, especially since Satania hadn't had a decent pineapple bun for two days, and she was even more craving it!

"Oh, this!" Zhang Shan opened the package, revealing four layers of bento boxes inside, and said, "It's rare for us all to eat together, so I brought extra for everyone to share."

Upon opening the bento box, a series of delicious dishes appeared before everyone's eyes.

"Oh!!!" Satania's eyes gleamed with golden light, and drool was already dripping from the corner of her mouth onto the ground.

"How luxurious!" Winette exclaimed in astonishment.

"Tch! Those damn rich people!" Gabriel turned her head away and retorted defiantly, "These dishes are already cold, the taste is definitely going to be much worse! Really, couldn't they even think of that? And they call themselves first in the grade~~~"

Mockingly from Gabriel, Zhang Shan laughed and retorted, "Isn't there a top student from the Celestial Realm here? I'll leave the heating up to you! Or is it that a top student from the Celestial Realm can't even heat up a cold meal?"

Their eyes met in the air, sparking a series of flashes.

Chapter 294 Is the top student in the grade a scumbag?

Zhang Shan used a rather clumsy attempt at provocation. Gabriel initially didn't want to pay him any attention, but looking at the delicious dishes in front of her and the expectant looks from the people around her, she pouted and said, "Don't look at me like that. If you want to eat, you can heat it up yourselves, right?"

His gaze fell on Vinette and Raphael, both of whom were highly skilled in magic and could handle even something as simple as cooking hot dishes.

Shi Yu blinked her big eyes, not quite understanding what was going on. However, in order to integrate into this circle as soon as possible, Shi Yu said, "Do you want some hot food? I can go downstairs and queue up!"

Zhang Shan quickly told her, "No need! Just focus on eating."

Then he looked at Gabriel and the others and said, "Angels, hurry up, class is about to start."

The three looked at each other, and finally Vinette was the first to react, correcting them with a serious expression: "I am a demon!"

"..."

In the end, Gabriel heated up the food. Looking at Zhang Shan's smug face, Gabriel said unhappily, "I was just helping Vigna. It has nothing to do with you. Don't be so smug!"

"Yes, yes, yes, the top student at the Angel Academy who shares a bed with a demon." Zhang Shan nodded perfunctorily.

Shiyu, who was eating small bites beside him, was still immersed in the shock of Gabriel and the others casting magic.

"There really is such a thing as magic in this world..."

"Yes, it's shocking, isn't it!" Zhang Shan laughed. "Besides angels and demons, there are also magicians, also called witches, in this world."

"Eh!!" Shi Yu's eyes lit up as she looked at Zhang Shan, and she asked expectantly, "Um! Can I become a magician?"

"Um, I think it should be okay..." Zhang Shan said somewhat uncertainly.

“It’s very difficult for humans to learn magic. Zhang Shan has been studying for several days and still hasn’t made any progress. Of course, it’s also possible that this guy doesn’t have any magical talent at all.” Gabriel suddenly revealed Zhang Shan’s secret.

"Hey, hey, hey, I'm your landlord, aren't I? How can you talk to your landlord like that? Watch out, or I'll raise the rent!" Zhang Shan said wickedly.

"I'm sorry, I was wrong!" Gabriel readily admitted defeat.

Zhang Shan's rent is even lower than that of the small bungalows outside, so even if Gabriel likes to court disaster, she is unwilling to give up such a good living environment.

After speaking, Gabriel ate her meal in silence, but her eyes would occasionally fall on Shiyu.

For some reason, she felt that Shi Yu's gaze towards Zhang Shan was somewhat strange.

Vinette was even more curious, because Zhang Shan said he had pursued Shi Yu, but in the current situation, it seemed that Shi Yu was the one taking the initiative!

"What's going on! What on earth is going on?!" Vinette ate voraciously!

Satania also ate like Vinette.

The silly demon hadn't had a decent meal in a long time, and now, faced with a table full of delicious food, he couldn't stop eating.

Raphael would occasionally put strange things into Satania's bowl, but Satania would accept them all without any reaction, which puzzled Raphael.

"Strange? Could this thing actually be delicious?" Raphael, somewhat skeptical, took a bite of the strange, culinary concoction, and the next second he covered his mouth and rushed out of the classroom.

"What's wrong with that guy?" Satania asked, puzzled.

"She might be pregnant. You two should be more careful," Zhang Shan said.

"Huh? Pregnant?" Satania stared at him blankly, unintentionally making a cute face.

"How could two women possibly get pregnant..." Winette said.

“Aren’t they angels and demons?” Shiyu asked.

“But those are two women!” Winette said. “As far as I know, only Satan, the king of the demon realm, is androgynous; the others are clearly defined by gender.”

"I see, no wonder Satan is the worst demon." Zhang Shan nodded, seemingly understanding something.

When Raphael returned, Satania had devoured most of the food on the table. She was sitting in her seat, picking her teeth with a satisfied expression, her belly bulging.

"Children shouldn't pick their teeth," Zhang Shan said, taking the toothpick from Satania's hand and casually throwing it into the trash can.

"Ah! You rascal!" Satania's eyes were filled with tears, but when she thought about how delicious the meal had been, she was too embarrassed to say anything to Zhang Shan.

"Hmph, this great demon will let it slide this time."

After packing her things, Shi Yu smiled and said to the others, "Then I'll head back now. See you tomorrow!"

"Hey! Wait a minute!" Zhang Shan quickly called out to Shi Yu, "Let's join a group chat, we'll be friends from now on."

Shi Yu's body was stiff, but her face showed barely suppressed excitement.

“Okay! Add me to the group!” Shi Yu said happily as she turned around.

As the girl suddenly approached, a delicate fragrance wafted over him. Zhang Shan quickly took two steps back and said, "Too close~"

Shi Yu blushed, then lowered her head in disappointment.

Zhang Shan was also quite embarrassed. It wasn't that he didn't like Shi Yu, but he really didn't understand this woman. She had been ignoring him before, so why did she suddenly become so proactive?

Surrounded by angels and devils watching the drama unfold, and Yukino who had just returned to the classroom.

"What's going on?" Yukino looked at the class. Since Vinette and Raphael often came to visit Gabriel and Satania, she wasn't surprised.

But why is there another person today? They seem to know Zhang Shan too?

"Could it be that the top student in the grade is actually a scumbag?" Yukino thought to herself.

Zhang Shan acted quickly, pulling Shi Yu into their chat group.

Shi Yu noticed that Zhang Shan was the only male in the group chat, and her gaze toward him was momentarily strange.

"Chirp~" Gabriel caught Shiyu's gaze and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"What's wrong? Is it about to mutate?" Zhang Shan squinted at Gabriel, wondering if he should raise her rent.

Gabrielle's eyes darted around, avoiding the landlord's gaze.

At this moment, Shi Yu spoke up: "Alright, if you need anything in the future, just find me in the group! Or you can go directly to Class Two!"

Then, Shi Yu waved and left Zhang Shan's class.

Just as Shiho stepped out the door, filled with anticipation for the future, Yuri's voice rang out behind her: "Kasumigaoka Shiho, are you trying to pursue Zhang Shan?"

"Ah!!" Shi Yu was startled by the sudden sound. She turned around and met Bai Heling's one eye. Looking at the half-smile on the other's face, Shi Yu felt extremely embarrassed.

She's not yet the bestselling novelist she'll become; she's just a young girl who's just started high school and is full of beautiful fantasies about love. Facing Yuri Rei, a severe case of chuunibyou (middle school syndrome), she'll inevitably be suppressed to some extent.

"Stop pretending. I can tell you like Zhang Shan." Baiheling said confidently. At this moment, Baiheling seemed to transform into a mature mystery master. She calmly took a few steps forward and came to Shiyu's side. She whispered in her ear, "It's not easy to stay by his side. After all, his mind doesn't seem to be on romance right now."

"Then on what?" Shiyu looked at Baiheling with expectant eyes, waiting for her to continue.

Lily Ling enjoyed the look in his eyes, her lips curving upwards in a wild smile: "Didn't I just say that his dream is to become a magician? If you want to stay by his side, you'll at least have to become a magician yourself."
