Everyone was stunned by the domineering fighting style displayed in front of Jiang Jing.

As for whether revealing one's strength like this would seem too hasty and naive, or if the other party had ill intentions and it would be dangerous, Jiang Jing would only tell you that you're overthinking it.

After he completely converted to Kryptonian blood, his strength increased by 30 tons the day before yesterday, 50 tons yesterday, and 60 tons in the first half of today, reaching a terrifying increase of 200 tons. In a few days, his strength will have already doubled again.

Moreover, as his strength and physique grow, his rate of improvement also increases, and his abilities in all aspects are also enhanced. If anyone wants to do something, Jiang Jing will be very welcoming.

Furthermore, he only mentioned that he was strong, but he didn't say that he only possessed great strength, nor did he demonstrate any other abilities during the battle.

Just then, Jiang Jing suddenly remembered that Shiina Mashiro should be getting out of school by now: "Oh right, it's getting late today, I have to go pick someone up. Captain, goodbye everyone."

I heard that a professor came to art class today. He was specially invited by Shuigao to teach and train those elites, so Jiang Jing had time to come and take a look.

"Pick someone up?" The weakened Mu Yangyoudou and Ta Cheng Xiao Mao watched Jiang Jing's hurried departure, somewhat bewildered.

Himejima Akeno's smile remained unchanged as she squinted her eyes: "He must be picking up another second-year transfer student like us, the one who goes to and from school with him every day, named Shiina Mashiro."

As she spoke, Himejima Akeno looked at Rias and said with a smile, "Oh my! Captain, maybe you're right, Kanda-kun will become the next strongest human."

"Senior Zhu Nai, you actually believed what the club president said? You know what a supreme expert represents." Toujou Koneko retorted expressionlessly.

Himejima Akeno's smile remained unchanged as she covered her mouth and chuckled, "That's hard to say. Haven't you noticed that Kanda-kun has been very calm from the beginning until now? And I'm sure that Kanda-kun didn't know those secrets before."

"She has the strength to defeat a high-level demon with a single punch right after awakening, a calm mindset, a seemingly peaceful personality, but actually an unwavering will." In just a short time, Himejima Akeno has seen so much.

Himejima Akeno asserted, "In terms of potential, Kanda-kun is far superior to us. No other captain before the seal could compare to him."

"Zhu Nai sees things very clearly."

"After all, I am your queen, so of course I have to be more attentive. Perhaps Kanda-kun can be of some help in matters concerning the Phoenix family in the future."

Rias's expression changed slightly, and after a moment of silence, she shook her head: "Don't tell him about this. I don't want to involve unrelated people in my affairs."

"Moreover, he needs time to grow now. He must not reveal Kanda-kun's identity as an Awakener to anyone other than us."

P.S.: The second update is complete, still a 3,000-word chapter, and there are promised extra updates later.

P.S.: Here's another book I'm promoting that's already a bestseller: "I'm Transmigrated to Another World, But I'm Still Grinding FGO."

Synopsis: After waking up in another world, Ans finds himself a slave to be bought and sold at will.

After being bought by a vampire lord and becoming a blood-generating machine, he discovered that he was also a transmigrator with a cheat-like advantage.

"Equipment Concept Costume - Projection Magic · Activation - Trace on!"

"Equipment Concept Essence - Divine Weapon - Enuma Elish!"

Chapter 35 Only by immersing oneself in darkness can one see the light.

On the sidewalk where cherry blossoms were falling, Jiang Jing and Shiina Mashiro walked side by side. A gentle breeze blew, lifting the girl's soft hair and bringing a faint fragrance of shampoo.

"A beautiful woman came to see Sorata today, and Sorata also went to a certain place." Shiina Mashiro suddenly spoke up, her calm voice devoid of any emotion.

"How did you know?" Jiang Jing asked curiously, because Mashiro wasn't the type to gossip or actively inquire about anything.

"Misaki-senpai told me to keep an eye on you." The naive Shiina Mashiro easily sold out Misaki and asked curiously, tilting her head.

Why does she want me to keep an eye on you?

Jiang Jing smiled and said, "She probably meant that I am too charming and many beautiful women will fall in love with me."

"Cough cough cough cough..." Just then, a violent coughing sound suddenly came from behind.

"Huh... it's Aoyama. You're so late today too?" Jiang Jing turned around, pretending not to notice her following him, and looked at Aoyama Nanami a few steps away in surprise.

Suddenly startled by Jiang Jing's narcissistic words, Aoyama Nanami blushed and looked at Jiang Jing with a strange expression.

Aoyama Nanami took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and greeted, "Kanda-kun, Shiina-kun, hello."

"I had some student council business today, so I left a little late. I'm heading to work at the convenience store up ahead now," Aoyama Nanami explained.

"Hello." Shiina Mashiro nodded.

"I remember you didn't join any clubs, Kanda, so why are you back so late today?" Aoyama Nanami asked casually.

"Oh, didn't Himejima invite me to join the Mysterious Research Club this morning? So I went to take a look," Jiang Jing said casually.

"Really? I heard that the head of the research department is a beautiful woman with long red hair and Nordic heritage. Have you joined yet?" Aoyama Nanami seemed a little nervous, and Shiina Mashiro also looked over.

"I've joined." Jiang Jingdian nodded.

"Hmph...men." Aoyama Nanami's face turned cold. Just then, he reached the intersection, snorted, and turned away.

"Spacecraft II"

Shiina Mashiro's calm tone revealed a rare hint of agitation.

"Uh... how did I get into II again?" Shiina Mashiro's thought process left Jiang Jing speechless to the point of wanting to vomit blood. What does joining a club have to do with II?

"So, does that mean Sorata will join a club and won't be coming back to Sakura-sou with me anymore?" Shiina Mashiro turned to look at Jiang Jing seriously.

Jiang Jing shook his head: "No, I said before I joined the club that I didn't have time to participate in any club activities, I had to go back to writing novels and drawing comics."

"Sorata, I want to eat Baumkuchen." Shiina Mashiro stopped and looked across the street at the convenience store where Aoyama Nanami worked.

"what……?"

"Why did you suddenly decide to eat Baumkuchen?"

"I want to eat it."

"This reason... okay. But it's so late now, it's probably gone by now."

As he spoke, Jiang Jing turned to look across the street, his amazing eyesight spanning more than ten meters, then penetrating the automatic frosted glass door and landing on the cashier counter.

There was just one Baumkuchen cake left in the box; you could say Mashiro was lucky.

Jiang Jing sighed inwardly, gestured for Zhenbai to follow, and said, "Let's go," before walking across the street.

"Didn't Sorata say there wasn't any?" Shiina Mashiro, who was following behind, turned her head and looked at him strangely.

"I bet there's one more."

"Welcome..." Aoyama Nanami's professional smile faltered slightly. "Kanda..."

"Aoyama, I want this one." Jiang Jing ignored Aoyama Nanami's strange look, paid for it, and picked up the last Baumkuchen.

380 yuan

"Goodbye."

“Again… Hmph…” Aoyama Nanami watched as Jiang Jing gave the Baumkuchen to Shiina Mashiro, then suddenly snorted and ignored him.

"Sora is amazing, he actually guessed it."

After going outside, Shiina Mashiro couldn't wait to open the package and start eating. Jiang Jing, who was standing next to her, could tell that she was very happy. For some reason, Mashiro really liked eating Baumkuchen.

"Yes, yes, impressive," Jiang Jing replied perfunctorily.

Jiang Jing feels inexplicably relaxed when he's with the simple-minded and adorable Shiina Mashiro.

Every time Shiina Mashiro looked at him with eyes full of dependence and trust, Jiang Jing always felt a desire to hold her in his hands and protect her.

This feeling was quite special for Jiang Jing, whose mind was empty and aimless after waking up.

For decades, Jiang Jing has been in Nightmare Space, facing over a thousand dangerous missions every ten days, constantly struggling on the brink of death. In order to survive, he had long since abandoned everything in his heart that was related to kindness and beauty.

For him, only by immersing himself in darkness could he see the light.

However, the yearning for beauty, light, and warmth is human nature, and Jiang Jing is no exception, especially now that he has escaped the nightmare space.

Therefore, being with Shiina Mashiro, whose soul is pure and clean, every day makes Jiang Jing feel very comfortable, like finding a warm stove in the middle of a snowy landscape.

Then I tried my best to suppress the darkness in my heart, afraid of polluting this pure white.

……

"No problem, right?" In room 101, Jiang Jing sat backwards in the computer chair, resting his chin on his hands and looking at Yuriko Uemura.

Dressed in professional attire, the elegant and sophisticated Yuriko Uemura sat on the bed, carefully examining three color illustrations, a hint of shock in her eyes that she made no attempt to hide.

Jiang Jing sat on the ground next to Shiina Mashiro, who was drawing on a drawing board, completely absorbed in the world of her art, seemingly oblivious to what was happening in the outside world.

Phew! Yuriko Uemura put down the illustration, took a deep look at Mashiro Shiina, and then smiled and said, "I'm very satisfied. Shiina... your drawings are no worse than those of master illustrators."

Jiang Jing noticed that when Uemura Yuri mentioned Shiina Mashiro, she used the honorific "teacher," and couldn't help but think to himself, "As expected of a powerful businesswoman, she puts profit and value above all else."

Jiang Jing smiled and nodded: "Alright, it seems that you didn't make a wasted trip today, Miss Uemura."

"By the way, Kanda-sensei, I wonder how far you've progressed in creating the subsequent content? Finishing the second and third volumes on Sunday is such a rush, are you sure the quality will be okay? If it's not good, it's okay to slow down, just don't overwork yourself." Uemura Yuriko asked with some concern.

She wasn't concerned about Jiang Jing's health; she was mainly worried about the quality of the book.

Because after she took this book seriously, the series of plans she conceived centered around it became a battle she could only fight to win.

"It's fine, progress is good, finishing the second and third volumes by Sunday shouldn't be a problem." Jiang Jing lied through his teeth, causing Shiina Mashiro, who was standing next to him, to look up at him blankly.

Zhenbai knew that Jiang Jing hadn't written a single word in the past two days.

Jiang Jing's confident yet earnest gaze eased Uemura Yuriko's worries slightly, and she stood up: "Alright, now that the cover illustration is no longer a problem, I'm going to start the promotional campaign ahead of schedule for the release in two weeks."

"Mr. Kanda, I hope your work will surprise me and you that day." Yuriko Uemura smiled and extended her hand.

"Don't worry, you won't be disappointed if nothing unexpected happens." Jiang Jing smiled as he held Uemura Yuriko's hand.

After all, it's "Toradora!", a pinnacle of the light novel genre of school romance.

Even though there are many popular works in the world of anime and manga culture that have sold tens of millions of copies, and recently there is the best-selling "Love Metronome" which has accumulated nearly a million sales, Jiang Jing is very confident.

Jiang Jing also greatly admires Yuriko Uemura's decisive and efficient work style.

Such people are always bold yet meticulous, with a strong will. Once they set their mind on something, they will do it to the best of their ability. They are also very ambitious. Working with them can save Jiang Jing a lot of trouble.
