The Infinite Powerhouse Mixed in with Sakura Dormitory

…………

It was the second day of school at Shuigao High School, in the morning.

During the second period of Chinese class in Class 1, Grade 2, when Xiaochun, who was in a good mood, walked into the classroom and stood on the podium, her smile froze because the seats below, Jiang Jing and Qingshan Qihai, were empty.

"Where are Akasaka, Kanda, and Aoyama?" Koharu asked, looking at Ryunosuke Akasaka, who was eating tomatoes and typing on his laptop keyboard as if no one else was around.

"They were still asleep when I left," Akasaka Ryunosuke said coldly without looking up.

"Didn't Kanda say yesterday that he wouldn't skip class? That's outrageous!" Koharu said, her cheeks puffed up with anger.

"Teacher, Kanda said he wouldn't skip class yesterday, not today," said Ryunosuke Akasaka, who was the only one attending class at Sakura Dormitory today, also expressing his displeasure.

"..." Xiaochun.

.

P.S.: There will be another chapter later.

Chapter 384 Kurumi Tokisaki Returns from the Future

At eight o'clock, just as Akasaka Ryunosuke closed the front door, the blanket covering Jiang Jing stirred, and then Shiina Mashiro poked out her messy head.

Rubbing her sleepy eyes, Shiina Mashiro mumbled, "Sorata, wake up."

Jiang Jing, who had been busy all night, opened his eyes, yawned, and looked at her listlessly: "Didn't you all skip class today? What are you doing up so early?"

"Misaki said we should go out this afternoon and told us to get up early." With that, Shiina Mashiro sat up from Jiang Jing's lap, causing the blanket to slip off...

With a pop!

"Kanda, Mashiro, breakfast is ready, get up." At that moment, Aoyama Nanami's voice rang out from outside the door.

"Nanami, we're up," Shiina Mashiro replied, as she reached for her clothes at the corner of the bed.

Hearing Shiina Mashiro's voice from inside, Aoyama Nanami, wearing an apron, couldn't help but show a hint of envy in her eyes.

After breakfast, Jiang Jing was pulled to the second floor of the studio by Misaki Ueiso to check if there were any parts of the latest original artwork that needed to be revised.

Beside the huge, semi-circular desk, Shiina Mashiro was busy drawing, Aoyama Nanami was reading the lines for the next episode, and Kamiigusa Misaki was also scribbling away. The three of them were very busy.

Meanwhile, Jiang Jing sat lazily in his chair, staring blankly at some original drawings in his hand, lost in thought about other things.

Just then, Matou Sakura, with her long purple hair cascading down her shoulders, came up the stairs carrying some things. Upon seeing Jiang Jing, she happily exclaimed, "Senpai, you're already busy so early!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Jing said listlessly, "There's nothing I can do. The others said they're going shopping this afternoon, so I want to finish today's tasks as soon as possible."

Jiang Jing originally said he wouldn't go to class today and would sleep in, since he stopped for a while at each of Rias, Himejima Akeno, and Matou Sakura's places last night when he delivered things to them.

Hehehe... Time speed up

After returning home, I spent most of the night playing with Shiina Mashiro, and time was accelerated in some areas as well. As a result, I had been active for almost a month yesterday, so even Jiang Jing wanted to sleep a little longer.

I wasn't physically tired, but I felt incredibly comfortable mentally, a truly unforgettable experience.

Misaki Kamiigusa put down her pen, turned around and waved happily to Sakura Matou, saying, "Haha... Sakura, let's go to Akihabara together this afternoon. The four major bookstores are holding a comic convention together at the convention center today. It's going to be very lively."

"And the most fun is skipping class to go out and play. Just thinking about Hao Hao and the others in class while we're playing outside is exciting."

Upon hearing this, Matou Sakura, who had successfully infiltrated Sakura-sou, brightened up and said in a cooperative tone, "Okay, Misaki-senpai. By the way, I made some snacks. Let's all have a cup of tea before we get back to work."

"Yay, Sakura made some sweets again? I want to try them."

After Jiang Jing finished his drink, Matou Sakura refilled his glass. She asked in confusion, "Senpai, after such a commotion yesterday, is everything alright now?"

Immediately, Aoyama and Nanami also looked at Jiang Jing with curiosity. While they were shocked by the terrifying phenomenon that covered the entire globe yesterday, they were also curious about what happened afterward.

Jiang Jing said lazily, "How could nothing be wrong? We can only enjoy this leisurely period for now. The world will be lively in a month."

When the Blood Sacrifice Array is activated a month later, the Void Storm will sweep across the entire universe. At that time, Jiang Jing will take action to suppress the mutated Nine Nether Will, and the core origin of the universe will be unified, thus ushering in an era of the fusion of all worlds.

All those alien worlds that were floating in the turbulent currents of space will return one by one, becoming stars and various small worlds deep in the starry sky.

When the universe is restored to its original state, the power ceiling will be raised with the increase in level, and with the abundant energy of heaven and earth, we will enter an era where gods and demons are as numerous as dogs.

"Sora, what's all the commotion about?" Shiina Mashiro asked curiously.

Jiang Jing shrugged: "You'll find out when the time comes. Telling you now will only cause you more trouble. Enjoy your time while you can, things won't be so peaceful in the future."

In the afternoon, Jiang Jing and his group of five did not fly there or take a taxi, but instead took the tram to Akihabara.

However, looking at Jiang Jing, who was surrounded by four beautiful and pure young women with different styles, those greasy middle-aged men revealed envious eyes.

…………

In a room at the comic convention, a dark red light suddenly flashed on the ground, and then a beautiful girl wearing a black and red pleated halter dress and with black hair tied in pigtails slowly rose from the ground.

"I'm back...?" Kurumi Tokisaki looked around blankly.

"Oh right, what am I supposed to do when I get back? Ouch! My head hurts so much..." Tokisaki Kurumi clutched her throbbing head, her face pale.

After an unknown amount of time, when her headache subsided, Tokisaki Kurumi stood up, leaning against the wall, her brows furrowed: "This is troublesome. It seems that her memories were damaged due to the influence of the rules when she traveled through time."

“But I remember I came back with something very important, very important, no, I have to remember.”

Just as Kurumi Tokisaki was concentrating and trying to recall her memories, a fleeting image flashed through her mind: the universe being torn apart by four towering arms.

Her face turned deathly pale instantly, and she clutched her head, saying, "It hurts so much... I remember now, Tohka and Mio told me to find him and tell him not to leave..."

"Wait, who is he...?" Tokisaki Kurumi was stunned again because she forgot the most crucial point: she forgot who the person Yatogami Tohka had asked her to find was.

After her headache subsided, Tokisaki Kurumi, still frowning, couldn't remember. She took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, "Let's go out and see what time it is. Maybe I'll remember after I rest for a couple of days."

As she spoke, Tokisaki Kurumi pushed open the door and found herself in a women's changing room. Outside, there was a lot of footsteps coming and going, and it seemed to be quite lively.

Lost in thought, Tokisaki Kurumi pushed open the door and went out. She was immediately noticed by a young man wearing glasses, carrying a backpack and holding a camera. His eyes lit up instantly.

The young man excitedly ran over, looking at the black-haired girl with a stunningly beautiful face with burning eyes, and said, "Hello, can we take a picture together? By the way, miss, which character are you cosplaying? You look so beautiful."

Looking around at the crowded people and the strangely dressed people walking around, Tokisaki Kurumi already knew where she was. She glanced at the fat otaku in front of her and said indifferently.

"Get out of here, I have no interest in taking a picture with a fat otaku."

After finishing her sentence, Kurumi Tokisaki ignored the devastated young man, frowned as she pondered, and walked against the flow of people towards the exit of the comic convention, heading towards the association.

Since she couldn't remember who Tohka wanted her to find, Kurumi Tokisaki decided to go to the association. As long as she reported the information she brought back, those Awakened Ones, with their unpredictable power, would surely be able to help her remember.

Alternatively, someone from the association could take her to see Tohka and Mio from this time period. Mio, whose power originates from the same source, might be able to help her recover her damaged memories.

Chapter 385 The Lost Midori Aki

Just as the group entered the anime convention venue, Jiang Jing, whose arm was linked with Shiina Mashiro's, paused and glanced at Tokisaki Kurumi, who was walking out in the distance.

"Hmm, it's her. The power of time is quite strong on her. Did she use the power of the angel Zafkiel?"

Jiang Jing recognized Tokisaki Kurumi. She was registered in the association's database and was a human spirit that Mio had previously thrown out and fused with a spirit crystal. She was quite strong.

She was a fourth-level cultivator with only about three-star strength, but she controlled some special time-related power, which is why Jiang Jing glanced at her information.

"What's wrong, Sorata?" Following Jiang Jing's gaze, Shiina Mashiro also noticed Tokisaki Kurumi, who was dressed elegantly and had a very beautiful appearance, in the crowd.

Unlike Shiina Mashiro, who is powerful but lacks common sense, Matou Sakura also sensed the dissipating aura of time on Tokisaki Kurumi and said softly, "Senpai, that person's aura is a bit strange. Should I go and take a look?"

"No need," Jiang Jing shook his head, showing no interest.

Although he vaguely sensed something from Tokisaki Kurumi, he didn't perceive anything further or more strongly, so it was obviously not important to him.

At this moment, Misaki Kamiigusa, who was in front, turned around and said excitedly, "Junior, should we go to the doujinshi area or the game area first? How about we go to the game area first?"

"I don't care, but what about you guys?" Jiang Jing looked at Shiina Mashiro and Aoyama Nanami.

Matou Sakura smiled gently and looked at Jiang Jing, saying softly, "I'll follow you, senior. Actually, I'm not very familiar with these things."

"I'm not very familiar with the area either, so I'll just follow Kanda and the others." After saying this, Aoyama Nanami's cheeks flushed slightly, and she lowered her head, not daring to look at the river scene.

Shiina Mashiro tilted her head and thought for a moment: "I want to go to the doujinshi exhibition area."

Compared to the games where Jiang Jing had easily defeated her, Shiina Mashiro was more interested in looking at fan comics to learn their drawing techniques and find inspiration.

"I see. Then let's split up and go our separate ways," Misaki Kamiigusa suggested.

"Okay." Jiang Jing had no objections.

…………

At a bustling booth in the doujinshi exhibition area, Aki Tomoya, who had just bought a Toradora doujinshi 18+ manga, walked out of the crowd and was suddenly pulled into a corner by a pair of hands.

Looking at the girl in front of him, who was wearing a hat and mask and looked like she was afraid to be seen, Aki Tomoya asked in surprise, "Eriri, didn't you say you weren't coming?"

Eriri flicked her ponytail and snorted, "I'm here to survey readers' opinions on my work, and also to buy some fanfiction that interests me."

"Speaking of which, Eriri, your drawing skills have improved a lot lately," Aki Tomoya exclaimed, flipping through the doujinshi he was holding.

Aki Tomoya only focused on appreciating art, but Eriri, looking at the naked drawings in the manga, felt a little embarrassed as the author herself, and turned her head away, saying smugly.

"Of course, I've made great progress recently."

Glancing at the bustling stall in the distance and the middle-aged couple who bore a resemblance to Eriri, Aki Tomoya nodded: "Indeed, judging from the sales, Kashiwagi Eri's name will become even more prominent in the doujinshi community this time."

"By the way, Eriri, you..." Looking at Eriri, Aki Tomoya opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn't say anything.

Eriri, who knows him very well, said unhappily, "You mean to talk about Kasumigaoka, right?"

Aki Tomoya hesitated for a moment, then nodded with concern, "Yes, I wanted to ask if you know what the situation is like with the senior? She took a month off last semester and didn't come to school, and this semester the teacher said she didn't even come to register."

"I also asked the paperback publisher. Her editor, Ms. Machida Sonoko, said that after Love Metronome ended, my senior hasn't written any more novels and we can't contact her anymore."

"So I'm a little worried that something might have happened to her."

Seeing Aki Tomoya's somewhat worried expression, Eriri felt inexplicably irritated. She took a deep breath to suppress her discomfort and said, "I've already asked her family about Kasumigaoka, but her parents don't know where she went either."

As two people who used to argue but also admire each other, Eriri went to Kasumigaoka Utaha's house half a month after she took a break from school, thinking that something had happened to her.

Because their memories of the night of the fireworks festival were erased, they knew nothing about the extraordinary world and were very worried about Kasumigaoka Utaha's sudden dropout and disappearance.

"What? Her parents don't know where she went either. Could something have really happened to her?" Aki Tomoya exclaimed in surprise.

“Nothing happened.” Eriri shook her head.

"Then how could they not know where their daughter went?" Aki Tomoya frowned.

Eriri pondered, "Although they don't know where Kasumi Shiko went, they keep saying everything is fine, so they must know something."

"Then why did they hide it?" Aki Tomoya asked, somewhat puzzled.

Eriri speculated, "It's probably because the current situation at Kasumigaoka is something that outsiders can't know about."
