The Infinite Powerhouse Mixed in with Sakura Dormitory

"That's not right. I'm the author of this work. You, the illustrator, have already received your money, but I still have to wait for the work to be published and for the first settlement to be paid a month later."

Jiang Jing was speechless upon thinking about this.

"I have one, it's for Sorata." With that, Shiina Mashiro placed the card in Jiang Jing's hand and told him the PIN.

"Now that Kong Tai has a lot of money, let's go buy some ingredients."

Faced with the girl's rare hopeful gaze, Jiang Jing, whose excuse had been blocked, had no choice but to sigh and get up from the floor.

"Wow...delicious! Today's is so much better than last time, junior."

After dinner, six small plates were placed on the cleaned-up table, each containing a fist-sized, crystal-clear Hundred Flower Snow Honey Cake.

Furthermore, each serving of snow honey cake is a different color. For example, the snow honey cake in front of Shangjing Caomei is pink and looks like a small, opaque lump of jelly, without any fragrance.

But judging from the exaggeratedly happy expression on her face, you could tell how well the snow honey cake that Jiang Jing had put a little effort into making today tasted.

Moreover, Ryunosuke Akasaka, who never leaves his home, made his first public appearance today after learning that Eijing had spent over 200,000 yen to buy ingredients and make an even better snow honey cake than last time.

At this moment, the boy, who was as beautiful as a woman and had waist-length black hair, was just like everyone else, focused on savoring this rare delicacy and had no intention of speaking.

"The taste is alright, considering the ingredients are much better than last time." Jiang Jing said casually after taking a bite and finding the taste acceptable, then put down his spoon.

"Really? Then I'll eat yours for you, junior." As she spoke, Misaki Kamiigusa, who was sitting opposite her, stood up with her eyes lit up.

"mine."

Just then, a faster hand took away Jiang Jing's blue snow honey cake and placed it together with his own white jade snow honey cake.

It was Shiina Mashiro, who was sitting next to Jiang Jing. Her attention had been focused on Jiang Jing, and she made her move the moment Misaki spoke.

"You're so cunning, Mashiro!" Misaki shouted from the other side.

“Sora is mine.” Shiina Mashiro tilted her head and looked calmly at Misaki.

"Alright, alright, hurry up and eat. The taste will change after half an hour," Jiang Jing said speechlessly.

Because he didn't seem to say he wouldn't eat.

Jiang Jing then changed the subject, looking curiously at Akasaka Ryunosuke, who looked like a girl: "By the way, Akasaka, what made you decide to come out today?"

"The last flavor was left out for too long and didn't taste good, so I'm bringing it out again," Ryunosuke Akasaka said calmly, his expression cool and expressionless.

Although Jiang Jing knocked on the door to remind him of his last order, Akasaka Ryunosuke, who doesn't like meeting or interacting with people, didn't believe him and ended up regretting it after eating expired snow honey cake that tasted several times worse.

"Oh my...it's so delicious! Junior, can you make it again tomorrow? What do you need? I'll go buy it for you." Feeling unsatisfied after finishing her meal, Misaki Kamiigusa looked at the river view expectantly.

"No way, it's too time-consuming." Jiang Jing refused decisively.

This task alone kept him busy for over two hours today. If it weren't for his good mood and the way Shiina Mashiro looked at him with such expectant and dependent eyes, he wouldn't have bothered at all.

"Burp..." Just then, Chihiro Sengoku, who had finished eating, drank a can of beer in one gulp, burped, and looked at Jiang Jing and Shiina Mashiro across from her with drunken eyes.

"You know, Kanda, the reason I asked you to take care of Shiina was to use your ordinary personality to pull her back a little from that world of geniuses and help her become a little more normal."

"By the way, I'll also use Shiina's talent to motivate you, so that you can find the goal you want to do and strive for as soon as possible. After all, you should start working hard early..." As she said this, Chihiro's eyes became very complicated, as if she remembered something, and then she gave a bitter smile.

"However, it seems that the stimulation was too much, or perhaps geniuses are always attracted to each other. The changes in you during this period have surprised us."

"Your first novel is about to be published, your grades have suddenly skyrocketed to the top of your grade, and your cooking skills are amazing. If we didn't see you every day, we would have thought you were a completely different person."

"Keep going, time waits for no one. I look forward to the day when your work becomes a bestseller, which will bring you closer to Shiina."

"If you really want to be with her forever, then you'd better show some amazing strength. Otherwise, her parents won't be so easy to talk to. After all, marriage is not the same as dating for you kids." After saying that, Chihiro shook her head self-deprecatingly, holding a can of beer in her hand, and staggered away.

"Uh... why are you suddenly talking about such serious things?" Jiang Jing was a little confused.

Compared to the indifferent river view, Mitaka Jin, who was sitting to the side, seemed to have thought of something from Sengoku Chihiro's words, and sat there silently without moving.

While everyone at Sakura-sou was enjoying a relaxing holiday, a tired-looking Kasumigaoka Utaha was hunched over her desk, writing furiously, with scraps scattered all over the room.

Meanwhile, in another location, the house of Izumi Masamune was also brightly lit. The blonde loli Yamada Fairy sat on the sofa, counted the number of pages, and after roughly scanning the contents, returned the manuscript.

"No, the number of pages needs to be reduced further, and the section about making dinner together in the middle can be omitted."

"We need to cut it further, otherwise the story will be too short." Izumi Masamune, with dark circles under his eyes and having not slept for two days, said exhausted and somewhat dizzy.

"The martial arts competition is a short story submission event. If you want to win, you have to make sure there are no problems. Moreover, only those who make it into the top three will have the publication rights."

"Once you get the publishing rights, you can publish the original manuscript directly," the beautiful girl with long blonde hair and wearing a princess dress advised.

P.S.: The second update is coming sooner than expected. Thank you all for your votes! I'll continue to ask for votes, brothers! ^_^

Chapter 48 The Sealed Evil

"Sorata, these panties aren't good."

In the morning, in Shiina's room, Shiina Mashiro, wearing a white high school uniform shirt on top and nothing on her bottom, held a pair of white lace panties in her hand and calmly looked at Jiang Jing, asking him to change.

"It's not raining today?" Jiang Jing asked, somewhat speechless at the girl's daily panties being matched to the weather.

"It's not raining today, and there's no sun either. The sky is blue and the clouds are white."

"Okay, okay, it's the blue panties with white patterns, right?" Without arguing with Shiina about the panties, Jiang Jing opened her wardrobe and found her target among the many lingerie items.

"Huh! I don't remember having this."

As he spoke, Jiang Jing took out a three-piece set from the corner of the wardrobe, consisting of a transparent white sexy lingerie piece that was only about the size of a palm.

"I bought these yesterday. Misaki said you'd be happy if you wore them to Sorata." Shiina Mashiro took the blue panties from Jiang Jing without changing her expression, and then, as if no one else was around, lifted her leg and put them on.

"Uh... I find that you two get along quite well in this respect." Jiang Jing simply shook his head and didn't dwell on the fact that Zhenbai was so naturally clueless.

After getting ready and having breakfast, the two strolled leisurely along the cherry blossom-strewn streets in the gentle morning breeze towards the school.

The man exuded a sunny disposition, while the woman possessed a serene and graceful air. Their delicate faces were flawless and beautiful, and their long, pale yellow hair danced gently in the breeze, making them appear like perfect fairies who had stepped out of a painting.

The sight of the two walking side by side under a tree full of pink cherry blossoms was like a beautiful painting in the eyes of the surrounding students, one that they couldn't bear to disturb.

"Ara... good morning, Kanda-san and Shiina-san."

At the school gate, I happened to run into Himejima Akeno, who greeted me with a smile. Beside her were Rias, Kiba Yuuto, and Toujou Koneko.

The group consisted of four women: a tall, voluptuous, and elegant red-haired woman with a noble air; a black-haired woman with a ponytail and a mysterious air; and another tall, voluptuous woman.

With the addition of a petite, silver-haired, adorable Lolita-like beauty and a gentle, handsome blond man, they become the center of attention wherever they go.

In particular, the subtle yet distinct aura of the four individuals made the surrounding students instinctively feel ashamed and dare not disrespect them.

At this moment, after Himejima Akeno spoke, the surrounding high school students couldn't help but feel doubt about life as they watched Jiang Jing and Shiina walk towards them like a golden couple.

A question involuntarily arose in my mind: Were we born in the wrong world? This isn't a place for ordinary people at all...

"Good morning, all four of you." Jiang Jing smiled and nodded, referring to them by their names instead of their names, otherwise it would have taken them ages just to exchange greetings.

"Hello," Shiina Mashiro said calmly.

After exchanging greetings, the six of them walked into the school gate together. The surrounding students quickly made way for them when they saw the six of them coming. Rias, who was walking to Jiang Jing's left, suddenly turned her head slightly and whispered in Jiang Jing's ear.

"Kanda-kun, come to the activity room after school. I have something to discuss."

"The matter!" Jiang Jing raised an eyebrow and nodded to indicate that he understood.

Given his apparent lack of interest in the supernatural world, the matter he was referring to must be unusual; otherwise, Rias wouldn't have offered to let him go.

The group didn't say much after that. After changing their shoes, they went their separate ways to their respective classrooms.

However, Shiina Mashiro did not leave. Instead, she stood there quietly watching the river view. Her calm and clear phoenix eyes were undisturbed, making it impossible to guess what she was thinking.

"Why are you staring at me like that?" Jiang Jing, who was also heading to the classroom, asked curiously.

After Shiina was able to go to the classroom by herself that day, Jiang Jing never took her there again.

"That woman."

Jiang Jing smiled and said, "Oh, you mean Minister Rias? She told me to go to the club after school and wait for me in the classroom."

"Okay," Shiina Mashiro nodded, without asking how long it would take.

"Qingshan, you don't look well. Are you feeling unwell?"

As soon as Jiang Jing sat down in the classroom, he noticed that Aoyama Nanami in front of him looked pale and weak, so he couldn't help but send a wisp of his spiritual energy to her.

In the past, a girl who was very strict about her image would have definitely denied it, but today she just shook her head and said, "It's nothing, I just didn't sleep well."

"Really? But I think you should get some rest. You're doing too many part-time jobs every day." Jiang Jing, who already knew that Aoyama Nanami's appearance was due to exhaustion and malnutrition, which caused her weakness, reminded her.

Jiang Jing didn't offer any words of comfort to this self-reliant young woman, because she didn't need them.

"Thank you."

"No need, but if you need any help, remember to let me know."

In Aoyama Nanami, Jiang Jing vaguely saw the shadows of countless ordinary people who worked hard, including himself back then, who never gave up, struggled tenaciously, and pursued that unattainable dream.

Aoyama Nanami, who wasn't in the mood to argue with Jiang Jing today, glanced at him, then silently turned away and started class.

It was past three in the afternoon. Jiang Jing, who had spent the whole afternoon on the rooftop basking in the sun and was expending his mental energy to observe the self-improvement process of the Kryptonian law chain, lazily opened his eyes and floated up from the ground.

Without making a sound, Jiang Jing's figure flashed as if teleported to the door more than ten meters away in one step.

When Jiang Jing arrived at the activity room of the Mysterious Research Department, Himejima Akeno had already brewed tea. Kiba Yuto and Toujou Koneko were sitting on the sofa, some drinking tea and others eating snacks.

"Kanda-senpai, try the tea the vice-captain brewed, it tastes very good." Kiba Yuto spoke first, his handsome face always filled with a gentle smile.

"Ara ara... Kiba, I'll feel embarrassed if you praise me like that." Himejima Akeno covered her mouth and chuckled, her beautiful eyes narrowing into crescent shapes with her smile.

As she spoke, Himejima Akeno leaned over and poured a cup of black tea for Jiang Jingman, who was sitting opposite her: "Kanda-kun, please."

"Thank you."

"Alright, now that everyone's here, let me tell you about why I called you all together." Rias, sitting behind her brown desk, rested her chin on her hands and said seriously.

"Last night, the Sky Surveillance Bureau issued a summons to all people in Japan with strength of A or above, targeting a spatial sealing node that suddenly appeared deep in the southeastern mountains of Mount Fuji."

"A spatial sealing node! Could it be that the evil entity sealed inside is still alive?" Kiba Yuto's face showed a look of shock.

"Yes, she's still alive." Rias nodded.

"After discovering the sealed location, a Heaven-level Perception Awakener was stationed there to investigate. Fortunately, the evil creature sealed inside had become very weak due to the long time that had passed, and its strength was only equivalent to a four-star level."

"Four stars? Not bad." Kiba and the quiet Toujou Koneko both breathed a sigh of relief.

As for the river view...
