Crossover Anime: The King of Time? Actually, He's a Slacker!

Lin Shiye slashed horizontally with his holy sword, unleashing a torrent of golden light. Countless books with gilded covers appeared out of thin air, their pages flipping rapidly, swirling into an impenetrable ring above Old Shiye's head.

Immediately afterwards, several giant robots tore through the clouds and crashed to the ground, their massive bodies crushing the earth, causing the mountains to rumble and sending rocks flying.

"it's useless."

With a mere wave of his hand, Lao Shiye unleashed a surge of red electricity like venomous snakes. All the large robots froze, instantly losing control and plunging into a chaotic melee. Explosions erupted one after another, flames soared into the sky, and the battlefield descended into utter chaos.

"Savor the taste of your first failure, young me."

Before he could finish speaking, Lao Shiye raised his hand again.

Above the sky, the thick clouds were torn apart by an invisible giant hand, and countless meteorites burning with raging flames fell with long trails, interspersed with purple lightning as thick as buckets, making the sky look like the end of the world.

Lin Shiye wielded his holy sword, and layers of golden sword curtains unfolded before him. But at this critical moment, a chilling force of time suddenly bound him tightly, making even blinking incredibly difficult.

Holy crap…

Lin Shiye knew he was doomed.

Sure enough, the next second, the meteorite and lightning completely engulfed him without any hindrance. Thick smoke billowed into the sky, obscuring the entire area, and a violent shockwave swept in all directions. The entire continent sank slightly under this attack, and a huge crater was torn open in the ground.

Lin Shiye was once again disintegrated and collapsed in the center of the pit.

The dark gold knight stood firmly in place, looking down at his younger self, his figure still clearly discernible amidst the billowing smoke.

"Go back, you're still too green." Old Shi Ye put his hands behind his back, adopting the air of a wise man.

Lin Shiye, covered in wounds, gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with resentment. He struggled to his feet and raised his hand to activate the Command Spell.

"Ruler!" he shouted.

"Help me beat him up!"

"Joan of Arc?" Old Shi Ye's tone suddenly carried a hint of nostalgia.

"What good will it do you to call her over...?"

Before he could finish speaking, Lao Shiye sensed something was wrong.

Looking at the sky radiating holy golden light and the falling white feathers, he couldn't help but feel a sense of unfamiliarity.

Which Joan of Arc is this?!

"Noble Phantasm: That Flame Is Here!"

A clear and authoritative female voice resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

boom--

A beam of crimson-gold light pierced the heavens and earth, suddenly falling from the ninth heaven and engulfing Lao Shiye's body like divine punishment.

The blinding light was too intense to look at directly. As the energy gradually dissipated, Old Shi was seen kneeling on the ground in the middle of the night, his dark golden armor emitting wisps of black smoke.

"Cough... I didn't have such power when I was young." He raised his head and looked down at the woman with seventy-two pairs of wings who appeared next to Lin Shiye and was dressed in white and gold divine armor.

"What? Looks like I won't be like you~" Lin Shiye revealed an arrogant smile.

"You can stay here and continue being a loser. I'm going back to write my own future!"

As soon as the words were spoken, spacetime began to distort violently. The figures of Lin Shiye and Metatron Jeanne gradually became transparent, and finally disappeared completely from this world.

Old Shiye slowly stood up, looked at the empty space in front of him, and let out a series of satisfied laughs.

…………

Back on the familiar, remote mountain road, Lin Shiye collapsed to the ground.

"It's hard to imagine you being in such a sorry state, Master." Shen Zhen had already changed out of her divine armor and back into casual clothes. Her platinum eyes looked at Lin Shiye lying on the ground, lost in thought.

"I was just giving in to him." Lin Shiye buried his face in the grass, his voice muffled, still stubborn.

"I'm afraid that if I win, that old man will feel embarrassed, after all, respecting the elderly and caring for the young is a traditional virtue."

"Really?" Shen Zhen's lips seemed to curve upwards by two pixels. She hesitated for a moment before extending her hand.

"It's time to go back, Master."

Lin Shiye placed his hand on her, and Shen Zhen pulled him up and carried him on her shoulder.

"Don't you have anything you want to ask me?" Shen Zhen asked.

"All I want to do right now is go back and rest," Lin Shiye said.

"Besides, some things... lose their meaning once they're said."

Under the gentle moonlight, the two walked step by step toward home.

"Let's go through the window, so my grandpa won't see us."

"Um."

.........

"Lin Shiye"

"Lin Shiye?"

"Lin Shiye!"

A whooshing sound rang out as a blackboard eraser hurtled towards them like a meteor. But a second later, it was caught steadily by a hand.

"teacher."

Lin Shiye snapped out of his reverie, and his gaze shifted from the blue sky and white clouds outside the window to Professor Hiratsuka in front of the podium.

"Actually—you don't need to shout my name so loudly."

"Then please answer this question, Lin Shiye." Hiratsuka Shizuka said, her expression terrifying, word by word.

Lin Shiye glanced at the problem on the blackboard, then slowly stood up, casually gave the answer, and provided a detailed solution.

Hiratsuka Shizuka's expression softened, and she waved him off impatiently to sit down.

"Don't let your mind wander next time, pay attention in class."

After saying that, she continued lecturing. Although she felt powerless, like punching cotton, there was nothing she could do. After all, the only downside to a student who was always at the top of the class being distracted was a bad influence.

Can she really hold onto this point forever?

Ring ring—

It's lunchtime.

Lin Shiye and Hachiman left the classroom one after the other and went to the vending machine downstairs. After a moment of consideration, the latter finally bought two cans of iced cola.

"Here you go." He tossed one of the cans to Lin Shiye and asked casually.

Are you sick?

"Why do you say that?" Lin Shiye caught the cola and pulled the tab. With a "hiss," the icy cola sprayed all over his hand.

"He doesn't seem as crazy as usual," Hachiman Hikigaya said casually, sipping his cola.

"I see..." After wiping his hands with a tissue, Lin Shiye also took a sip of cola. The cool liquid slid down his throat, making him feel much more refreshed.

After a moment's hesitation, he slowly began to speak:

"I'm just suddenly feeling a little lost about the future."

"Huh?" Hachiman Hikigaya rolled his eyes.

"Why don't you just inherit your family's watch shop? At worst, you can become a shut-in like me and wait to be taken care of by a rich woman."

"Komachi must have had a tough time." Lin Shiye smiled, knowing that Hikigaya Hachiman had misunderstood him.

"It's probably impossible for me to be with a rich woman. Instead of fantasizing here, I should go find my true love."

"A wandering, solitary soul needs no home." Hachiman Hikigaya refuses to listen and launches a chuunibyou attack on you.

"You're something else," Lin Shiye sighed, then turned and walked towards the cafeteria.

Hikigaya followed leisurely behind.

"What do you think would happen if I destroyed the world in the future?" Lin Shiye asked.

Hachiman Hikigaya gave him a look that said he was an idiot.

"What comic did you read this time?"

"Wow~ I'm serious!" Lin Shiye almost burst out laughing.

Hachiman Hikigaya sighed, unusually abandoning his teasing tone.

"Instead of thinking about those things, we should focus on the present," he said softly, looking at the bustling crowd ahead.

"We'll see what the future holds. For now, it's enough to just do our best."

"As for you destroying the world in the future... don't even dream about it."

"Damn it, don't provoke me." Lin Shiye

"If you provoke me again, I'll really destroy the world."

"Fine, fine, even if you could destroy the world... even so, you wouldn't do it." Hachiman Hikigaya rolled his eyes at him, then hesitated for a while before muttering under his breath:

"I'm quite picky about who I make friends with."

The air fell silent instantly.

A cool autumn breeze gently swept by, quietly blowing away the few remaining withered yellow leaves from the bare tree trunks.

"Ah...not bad at all, Mr. Hachiman." A smile bloomed on Lin Shiye's face.

"Let's go, or we'll miss out on fried chicken and fries."

"Who wants to eat that kind of oily junk food?" Hachiman Hikigaya watched the other person's back, a slight smile playing on his lips, before feeling a wave of weariness wash over him.

Youth... it really is a pile of dog shit.
