The Infinite Powerhouse Mixed in with Sakura Dormitory

"She lacks presence. To put it simply, Kato Megumi's character died, so I wanted to help her establish her character."

"I've already thought of a name for my game: 'The Unremarkable Heroine Training Method.'" Aki Tomoya pushed up his glasses, looking excited as he prepared to continue.

“Aki-kun, what you said puts me in a difficult position. Although it is true, I am also very troubled by this.”

Kato Megumi calmly interrupted, "And the senior who you just mentioned as the scriptwriter has already rejected you. Right now, there are only the two of you as official members of this club. Even if you include me, there are only three of you. The student council requires four people to apply for the establishment of a club."

"And I saw that Eriri also said she was very busy. You're asking someone who's already busy to sacrifice their time to help you, just for your so-called dream. Don't you think that's a bit wrong?"

"So I think it's better for me to refuse you, and I'm not interested in becoming some kind of eye-catching leading lady."

"So, Aki-kun, let's call it a day. Please don't bother me again in the future. I'm very satisfied with my life now."

Kato Megumi spoke quickly and concisely, her face remaining calm and expressionless as she finished speaking, as if she were narrating something very ordinary.

After speaking, the girl, whose expression had remained calm, nodded to the stunned Aki Tomoya and Eriri, then walked through the door to the rooftop and disappeared into the stairwell.

"Ka..." An Yilun, who was being subtly criticized by Kato Megumi, opened his mouth, but found that he didn't know what to say to win back the girl. He stood there blankly, not knowing what to do.

Seeing Aki Tomoya standing there dejected, Eriri felt a little sorry for him and comforted him, "Tomoya, why don't you put your plan on hold for now? We're short-handed right now."

"Eri, I know you and your senior are actually quite close. Let's go see her again after school this afternoon," Aki Tomoya said, still determined not to give up.

"If I can persuade my senior to join, and then I'll try to persuade Kato Megumi, then there'll still be a chance for this game." Aki Tomoya was still unwilling to give up.

Seeing Aki Tomoya lost in his own world, Eriri looked troubled: "But Tomoya, I'm going to visit Shiina-sensei with editor Ayano after school this afternoon to ask her about some issues I'm currently handling in anime key animation. I don't have time."

"What……"

After descending from the rooftop, Kato Megumi walked silently down the stairs. Suddenly, a tiny black earphone, about the size of a soybean, flashed behind her ear, followed by a faint sound.

"Captain, the target that Xiaohu is monitoring has started to move. It's speculated that it's heading to meet its superiors. Should we report this to the association headquarters and send reinforcements to prevent any unforeseen events?"

Upon hearing this, Kato Megumi's eyes flickered slightly, and her lips parted slightly as she spoke into the earpiece: "No need. According to what that target let slip, the opponent's strength is only at the peak of the second star level. We can take them down. The three of you go ahead and keep watch from a distance. I'll be right there."

"Yes, Captain."

Kato Megumi, with a calm expression, looked around. Seeing that no one was around, a faint gray layer appeared on her body, which was originally unnoticed, and then she disappeared into thin air.

Chapter 186 The Ambiguity in the Activity Room: I Can Solve This Problem in Reverse (6K2)

After having lunch and a nap with Shiina Mashiro, Jiang Jing didn't go straight to the rooftop to sleep this afternoon. Instead, he walked into the classroom as the school bell rang.

"Hey, Kanda, you didn't go to the rooftop to sleep this afternoon?" Aoyama Nanami, who seemed to have recovered on the surface, turned around and looked at Jiang Jing in surprise.

Jiang Jing shrugged; "Don't make it sound like I sleep on the rooftop every afternoon."

"Isn't that right? Ask Akame-kun."

Akame, who was standing next to Aoyama Nanami, turned her head and looked over, calmly saying, "This is the first time I've seen Kanda-kun enter the classroom this afternoon since the first day I transferred here."

"Uh...that's not important." Jiang Jing shrugged.

"By the way, Nanami, let's go out for a bit after class. I need to talk to you."

"What is it, Kanda?" Aoyama Nanami asked, somewhat surprised.

Jiang Jing smiled faintly: "Let's talk about it later, the teacher is coming."

The first of the two afternoon classes was math, taught by the PE teacher who had been filling in for over a week. Apparently, the math teacher for this class had taken maternity leave.

Jiang Jing seemed to remember that this math teacher was unmarried, and he hadn't heard of him dating anyone in a long time. Most importantly, he was a man...

When the tall, imposing, and serious-looking physical education teacher walked in, the classroom, which had been somewhat noisy, immediately fell silent.

"Alright, let's continue with what we didn't finish yesterday. Everyone, turn to page 29."

However, at that moment, the physical education teacher also noticed Jiang Jing, who was usually nowhere to be seen in the afternoon. He frowned slightly involuntarily, then thought for a moment and turned around to write a formula problem on the blackboard that was not from page 29.

"Today we'll start with this formula. It's a very simple problem that's often overlooked. Does anyone know how to solve it?" The PE teacher looked at the students seriously.

However, all the students below looked blankly at the question, and even Aoyama Nanami, who had always been a top student in the class, frowned.

Sitting behind Aoyama Nanami, Jiang Jing, who was about to drift off and doze off, looked at the problem on the blackboard with a strange expression, because it was a formula that was only taught in the second semester of senior year.

At this moment, Jiang Jing couldn't understand why this PE teacher, who was said to have average math grades and could only teach by rote, would bring knowledge that would only be taught in the second semester of senior year to this class in the first semester of junior year for the students to solve.

On the podium, the PE teacher looked with satisfaction at the bewildered expressions of the students below, then turned to his target, Jiang Jing, and immediately raised an eyebrow.

He had a very deep impression of this student who slept in class every day, and even more outrageously, went to the rooftop to sleep and skip class in the afternoon.

So after paying a little attention to this student's situation, although he envied the student for sleeping in class but getting good grades and for dating and showing affection with a genius girl at school every day, he didn't plan to ask too many questions.

However, the math teacher who happens to be teaching senior high school math in the office today said that every year, most senior high school students preparing for the University of Tokyo lose points on this math question, which gives him a headache.

The curious PE teacher couldn't help but ask what the problem was and how to solve it, never expecting that it would come in handy at this moment.

Today, he plans to use this question, which is difficult even for the top students in their senior year who are preparing to take the entrance exam for Tokyo University, to teach Jiang Jing, a classmate who is arrogant and lazy because he is the top student in the grade, the truth that not studying hard is not an option.

"Ahem..." The PE teacher coughed lightly, drawing everyone's attention before speaking in a deep voice.

"It seems that no one knows how to solve this problem. Actually, this problem is very simple. I solved it after thinking about it for a while when I took the exam."

"Now I'll call on a student to come up and demonstrate for everyone. Remember this question well, as it's easy to lose points on the final exam."

After saying that, the PE teacher looked directly at Jiang Jing: "Kanda, as the top student in the grade, why don't you come up and demonstrate for everyone, and write out the solution formula in detail?"

"Me." Jiang Jing blinked, feeling a little amused by the PE teacher's clumsy attempt to dig a hole.

The PE teacher, who thought Jiang Jing was hesitant, nodded: "Yes."

Jiang Jing didn't have the arrogance of "I'm so awesome, how dare you ask me to solve this problem?" nor the anger of "I'll make you regret this later" when the PE teacher asked him to.

The gap between the two sides was so large that Jiang Jing only found the scene amusing.

With a faint smile on his face, Jiang Jing nodded and stood up: "Okay."

After walking onto the stage and picking up the chalk, Jiang Jing looked at the PE teacher beside him and asked, "Teacher, is it all the problem-solving formulas?"

It was only then that the physical education teacher realized that the student in front of him was actually taller than him, who was 1.8 meters tall, and his physique looked very sturdy, unlike most high school students who are tall and thin and give the impression of being frail.

Upon hearing Jiang Jing's question, the physical education teacher nodded seriously: "Yes."

"Okay." Jiang Jing smiled, stood under the question for a moment, and then began to write on the blackboard.

The PE teacher, who was initially a little guilty because Jiang Jing had Chen Zhu's confidence, couldn't help but smile when he saw that the two lines of formulas Jiang Jing wrote out were different from those of the old math teacher.

The PE teacher turned around, crossed his arms, and looked at the students below. With a smile on his face, he was already thinking about how to use gentle words to correct Kanda's lazy and unmotivated personality after achieving some success, without hurting Kanda's self-esteem.

However, just as the PE teacher had prepared his emotions and organized his words, he keenly noticed that the expressions of the students below were somewhat strange.

Everyone gaped, their eyes filled with a mixture of bewilderment and shock, staring at him with an expression of profound awe and disbelief...behind him.

Sensing something was wrong, the PE teacher turned around and saw that the once empty blackboard had been divided into eight vertical rows, each row densely and neatly filled with three different problem-solving formulas.

Just then, Jiang Jing finished writing in the last corner of the blackboard. Looking at the already filled blackboard, he clapped his hands and said, "Teacher, there's not enough space. Can you check if there are any mistakes in the formulas at the beginning? If not, I'll erase those and continue writing."

"I have seven more formulas for solving this math problem in reverse order, and three formulas for solving it in a curved direction that I haven't written out yet."

"Cough cough...cough cough..." The PE teacher, who had just come to his senses, didn't know how to speak for a moment, and quickly covered up his shock with a cough.

"What's wrong, teacher?" Jiang Jing asked the PE teacher with a smile.

"Cough...no...it's nothing, I just felt an itch in my throat," the PE teacher said somewhat awkwardly.

Jiang Jing looked at the PE teacher with a smile in his eyes: "Then teacher, please check if there are any mistakes. If there aren't, I'll erase it and continue writing."

"Ahem... No need, Kanda-kun, you solved it very well, very well..." the PE teacher quickly interjected.

Let him see? What's the point of him seeing anything? He's completely clueless about how to do it himself.

As for whether Jiang Jing wrote it randomly, looking at the formulas on the blackboard, the ideas were clear and well-founded. In addition, the formula in the third row was the one that the old math teacher wrote at noon. Even if the others were wrong, one of them was right.

Not to mention that if he gives random pointers, wouldn't that expose his poor math skills?

"Is there anything else, teacher?" Jiang Jing asked with a smile, looking at the somewhat flustered PE teacher.

"No...it's alright. Kanda-kun, you answered very well. You can go now."

"OK then."

Originally intending to write down all the answers, but out of boredom and a desire to show off, Jiang Jing somewhat regretfully put down the last bit of chalk and walked away.

"Ahem... Everyone, make sure you memorize the formula that Kanda wrote down. This question will be on the exam in the future," the PE teacher said seriously from the stage.

"Kanda, how did you figure this out? Are all these solutions real? I couldn't even get past the second step!" Jiang Jing had just sat down when Aoyama Nanami turned around and asked in shock.

Jiang Jing didn't discourage Aoyama Nanami, but said directly, "Of course you can't solve it. You haven't learned it. This is a senior high school problem. I only saw it and wrote it down when I was studying in the library."

Of course, Jiang Jing didn't mention that he had memorized all the high school subjects he knew that afternoon, plus all the university knowledge he could find in the library.

"Is that so? I see." Upon hearing this, Aoyama Nanami, who had been somewhat discouraged, regained a little confidence.

"It seems I should go to the library more often to read books, but..." Aoyama Nanami frowned, realizing that she didn't seem to have any time to go at all.

After what had just happened, the PE teacher had given up on correcting Jiang Jing's attitude towards learning and began to teach in his own unique way, reading aloud from the textbook.

After class, Aoyama Nanami blushed slightly and, under the gazes of her classmates, walked with Jiang Jing to the stairwell of the teaching building for the first time. It was usually a place where boys and girls would talk privately.

In the quiet stairwell, Aoyama Nanami spoke somewhat awkwardly, "What do you need me for, Kanda?"

"I heard that you haven't been to your voice actor training class for a few days, Aoyama," Jiang Jing suddenly said.

"Ah... Kanda, who...who told you that..." Aoyama Nanami said, somewhat flustered.

Jiang Jing did not answer, but looked calmly at Aoyama Nanami and said, "Aoyama, we are friends, right?"

Looking into Jiang Jing's gentle gaze, which held no disdain, contempt, or anything else, Aoyama Nanami gradually calmed down and nodded: "Haven't we always been friends?"

"Since we're friends, if you ever have any troubles or need help, don't forget me as your friend, and remember to come to me."

Aoyama Nanami paused, opened her mouth as if to say something, but hesitated for some reason and ultimately didn't say anything, only lowering her head and saying, "Hmm."

Seeing this, Jiang Jing didn't press the matter, but instead changed the subject: "Qingshan, do you have some time lately? My senior has a new project, and she might need your help with voice acting."

"Provide voice acting for Misaki-senpai's works."

Aoyama Nanami looked up, a hint of excitement flashing in her eyes, followed by a bitter expression. She lowered her head and said, "I... I might not have time then."
