The Infinite Powerhouse Mixed in with Sakura Dormitory

"Oh my, Kiba, why did you buy so many?" Akeno Himejima asked, looking at the dozen or so volumes of Toradora! Volume 1 on the coffee table.

"I couldn't help but buy a few more because they were made by Kanda-senpai," Kiba Yuto said with a gentle smile.

“Didn’t we say the other day that we would support Kanda-kun’s work? Let’s all take a look, otherwise it would be embarrassing if he asked about the content someday and we couldn’t answer.” Rias walked over, picked up a book and smiled.

"He's clearly an incredibly powerful Awakened One, yet he's neglecting his duties and going off to write novels," complained Tajo Kitten, who was eating chocolate nearby, as she picked up a book.

“Oh, I’m curious too.” Akeno Himejima smiled and picked up a book as well.

P.S.: Second update complete. By the way, I've modified the power system levels. Please refresh Chapter 40 to avoid confusion later chapters.

By the way, thank you everyone for the votes and virtual gifts! ^_^

This book will have more words if it's free, so please remember to support it!

Chapter 56 Melting Steel

Around 10 a.m., the number of followers on Jiang Jing's Weibo account, under the pseudonym "Shen Tian V," suddenly jumped from 1 to 2.

Then, a fan named Guitar and Yui left a comment on a promotional cover image for Toradora! posted by Jiang Jing when Yuriko Uemura registered.

"Haha... I'm the second fan! (￣▽￣)" You can feel the fan's excitement and happiness from his words.

Just then, the number of fans increased by one.

Drummer Ritsu: "I'm the third one, ah... I lost to Yui again ヾ(-_-;)."

"We agreed to come to school for rehearsal today, so why are you making me register an account? I don't even use Weibo." (Bass, Mio)

"Oh dear, Mio, don't be so serious! I bought this 'Toradora!' novel on my way to the bookstore this morning. It's really good, so I decided to check out the author. Who knew he didn't have any fans? No fans at all! ヾ(^?^)?"

Guitar, Wei: "So, are we very important to the author? Haha... I'm going to ask the author about the sequel (??▽?)?."

"Wei is right. I bought this book this morning and read it in one go. It's very good. I need to find the author to get an autograph as soon as possible. The first autograph might be very valuable in the future." - Drummer, Lü.

"Isn't it beautiful? I'll buy a copy when I get back." (Electronic keyboard, ?)

"That's enough! We're the Light Music Club, and we haven't even had a single rehearsal since the start of the semester. Is that even acceptable?" said bassist Mio.

The drummer, Ritsu, exclaimed, "Oh no, Mio is angry!"

Guitar, Yui: "Oh...it's okay, Mio, it's still early today."

"Electronic keyboard, ? Yes, how about we have some tea first? I brought a cake."

The drummer and the rhythm player said, "Great! After we finish our tea, it'll be almost time for lunch."

Guitar, Yui: "Um... I brought taiyaki and tempura bento boxes. Yu knew I was coming to school today, so she made a lot for me to bring to everyone to try."

Electronic keyboard... "Did Wei make this? I'm so looking forward to it."

Drummer, Ritsu: "Speaking of which, I saw Ryuji from 'Toradora!' and he seems to cook really well. Yui, do you think his cooking is better or Yu's?"

"It's definitely Yu's cooking that tastes better." (Guitar, Wei)

“That’s enough…” Beth, Mio.

"Huh... doesn't Mio like taiyaki tempura bento?"

"That's not the issue."

"Rehearsals, rehearsals..."

Even though it was just four people chatting, Jiang Jing's Weibo account, which was originally empty, suddenly felt very lively.

……

Sakura-sou, night. Jiang Jing poured some cat food into the cat litter boxes of several kittens, cleaned up their litter, and then went back inside to tidy up the manga manuscripts that Shiina Mashiro had carelessly left behind.

After finishing all that, Jiang Jing looked at the girl who was already asleep on his bed, wearing a short-sleeved shirt and shorts pajamas, and couldn't help but shake his head: "I don't know what you like about comics, do you need to work so hard?"

I played all day today, and after dinner and a shower, Shiina Mashiro continued drawing her manga in the river view room, and then fell asleep while drawing.

However, Jiang Jing didn't want to interfere with Mashiro's dedication and hard work in manga. Everyone has different ideas and hobbies, and you can't interfere just because you say it's for your own good.

In Jiang Jing's view, this behavior was nothing more than imposing one's will on others.

As Jiang Jing sat down and turned off his computer, he noticed a note under the monitor; it looked like his Weibo account.

Yesterday, after Yuriko Uemura gave it to him, when I saw Yuriko Uemura off, Mashiro came downstairs to get the original manuscript to show him and ask for his opinions. The note was just casually left here.

"Let's log in and take a look." Jiang Jing took out his phone, found the Weibo app that was pre-installed on his phone, and logged in to his account.

"Uh... what a pathetic account." Looking at the account's backend with only a dozen or so lonely followers, even Jiang Jing felt sorry for his alternate account.

"But how come there are so many messages?" Jiang Jing looked at the 99+ message notification on the email icon with some curiosity and a hint of interest.

After scrolling through the more than one hundred lighthearted chat comments, Jiang Jing had already guessed their identities from their names, their speech patterns, and the information gleaned from their conversations, and couldn't help but blink.

"How come a few girls who are called the Light Music Club but are actually a tea club have also appeared!"

Seeing the anime character he loved in his previous life appear, Jiang Jing became slightly interested and opened the private message sent by Guitarist Wei.

"Shinten-sensei, your work is very well written. When will the second volume be released? I can't wait (?ω?)."

"Also, as your 2345th follower, could you please give each of us an autographed copy, Mr. Kamiten? It would be best if it were signed on the second volume of your new book and mailed to us. Our address is Sakuragaoka High School..."

"Uh... that overly familiar tone, it really is them."

"Since you're my 2345th fan, I'll tell you. Volume 2 will be released in three days. As for signing and mailing the new books to you, sorry, I don't have the money to pay for postage." With a smile, Jiang Jing clicked to reply.

Just as Jiang Jing was finding this world quite interesting, he suddenly frowned slightly, turned his head to look towards the backyard, and disappeared into the house in a flash.

"Meow..." This bizarre scene startled Xiao Guang, who had just finished eating cat food and was licking his paws as he came in through the crack in the door.

It was almost midnight, past eleven. The small backyard of Sakura-sou was pitch black. Due to limited space, only a few small ornamental trees were planted in the corner.

At this moment, the dense branches of these ornamental trees cast long, dark shadows into the night sky, creating a somewhat eerie atmosphere.

Jiang Jing appeared in the corner of the backyard, squinting at the corner of the wall where a black plant, resembling a climbing vine, was slowly wriggling.

The plant was small at first, with tendrils only the size of chopsticks and thorns covering it, reaching less than half a meter in length.

However, in Jiang Jing's eyes, faint gray energy, invisible to ordinary people and exuding an eerie aura, appeared out of thin air and automatically gathered together to be absorbed by the black plants.

After absorbing that gray energy, the black vine grew at a speed visible to the naked eye, which was quite astonishing.

tear!!

Suddenly, the black vine, which had grown to a meter in length, split into two, then into four, and then expanded rapidly, writhing like a snake as if it had evolved, as agile as a living creature.

A mouth sprouted from the top of the four tendrils and then looked at the river scene in unison.

"Is this what they call evil pollution? The plants have mutated and become aggressive, and over time, the evil energy that was originally undetectable in the air will automatically gather as if it were alive."

As he spoke, Jiang Jing grabbed the root of the mutated plant, and with a sudden burst of strength, he pulled it up along with its dense root system.

what……

Instantly, the plant in Jiang Jing's hand let out a baby-like scream, and the four long vines covered with sharp thorns twisted wildly, wrapping around Jiang Jing's wrist, and the mouth at the tip even tried to tear his skin and burrow inside.

Sizzle!!

Unfortunately, faced with Jiang Jing's incredibly tough body, the thorns of the polluted vine, sharp as iron nails, couldn't even leave a white mark, and its four sharp mouths, biting tightly at his wrist, couldn't tear it apart.

"Not bad in terms of vitality and aggression." Jiang Jing said casually, crumpling the writhing and struggling thorny vine into a ball in his hands.

Just then, Jiang Jing's hands began to turn red, and in an instant, a terrifyingly high temperature appeared. It was a scorching ability that he had never tried since he fused with the blazing bloodline of the Blazing Fire Clan.

As the Kryptonian cells evolved rapidly, the accompanying heat-generating ability suddenly erupted with terrifyingly high temperatures that could melt steel. Instantly, the polluted vine that had been struggling in Jiang Jing's hand was halted and burned to ashes at a pitifully slow speed.

As if he had just crushed a mosquito, Jiang Jing clapped his hands and prepared to go back.

But just then, Jiang Jing turned around and looked outside, his figure flashing onto the wall.

Below, a young man wearing a black trench coat and sunglasses, with a faint rustling sound emanating from him, was about to jump in.

P.S.: First update! Still asking for votes, brothers! ^_^

Chapter 57 Sweeping Across Heaven and Earth

"No need to go in, I've already taken care of it." Jiang Jing's silent appearance startled the men in black below, who gathered their power and watched him warily, whispering a warning.

"…who?"

At that moment, dozens of miles away in an underground base, the walls were covered with huge display screens, with countless flashing lights and a wealth of information and data, and staff members were busy everywhere.

Just as the man in black was startled, the long-haired youth sitting in front of a machine looked at the disappearing red dot and its location on the monitor, turned on his microphone and spoke coldly.

“Zhongshan-kun, the target pollution source has disappeared. Your location is Sakura-sou, the dormitory of Suimei Affiliated High School in Shugami 3-gai. One of the members of the External Gremory Vice Minister’s team, the three-star ability user Kanda Sorata, lives there. Don’t be nervous.”

Hearing the sound of the wireless headset ringing in his ear, the young man in black breathed a sigh of relief. The energy that was about to erupt within him gradually subsided, and he looked at Jiang Jing with curiosity in his eyes.

"So you're one of Vice Minister Gimonli's men. Thank you for helping me deal with that thing. By the way, my name is Ichizan. He's an internal member of the Sky Surveillance Association." After realizing that I was one of their own, the young man in black immediately became friendly.

Jiang Jing shook his head slightly: "I am Kanda Sorata, no need to thank me, it just so happens that the thing appeared where I live."

Just as the young man was about to talk to Jiang Jing, a voice rang in his ears again. "Zhongshan Jun, a low-level pollution source fluctuation has been detected seven miles to the southwest. Please go there immediately to handle it."

"Ah, Kanda-kun, let's grab a drink sometime. I have to go now, so I'm off."

Urged on, Shang Yishan greeted Jiang Jing, and then a gust of wind swirled around him. A watch-like device on his wrist emitted a magical fluctuation that granted him invisibility.

With a whoosh, it disappeared into the shadows of the street at supercar speed.

"The energy fluctuations within his body are at the second level of the extraordinary realm, the peak of the second star level. There are no signs of cultivation, so he should be a wind attribute ability user."

Jiang Jing squinted and turned to look into the distance: "But what interests me more is how they were able to detect the pollutants so accurately."

As Jiang Jing spoke, his spiritual power spread across his body, manipulating light. Instantly, the light and shadow on his body began to distort and gradually disappeared into the air.

Without the slightest energy fluctuation, Jiang Jing's body soared into the sky, appearing thousands of meters above the ground. He then released his visual restraints and looked down.

With his terrifying eyesight that ignores all obstacles, Jiang Jing pinpointed the underground headquarters of the Surveillance Bureau, located in the south of the city center, using the sound source he had captured earlier.

Suddenly, a subterranean structure, resembling a small castle, appeared in Jiang Jing's eyes, extending a thousand meters underground.

Inside, there are work areas, testing areas, living areas, training areas, research areas, etc., and people are busy working inside.

The super hearing ability, which allows one to hear sounds from all over the world without a medium, was also selectively activated. Jiang Jing's brainpower was rapidly depleted, and his attention was focused on the monitoring center, which spanned a thousand square meters and was filled with displays and machinery.

"A low-level animal-shaped pollution source has been discovered seventeen miles to the southeast. The value has exceeded the critical point of one hundred and has changed abnormally. The danger level is low. We have dispatched Zhi Lianghongyi from within the organization to handle it."

"A pollution source with a value of 500 has been detected 150 miles east of Mount Fuji. This is beyond the precise detection range of the instruments, and the type of mutation cannot be determined. A two-star special mission has been issued to the nearby four-star Onmyoji family, Kawau..."
