The Infinite Powerhouse Mixed in with Sakura Dormitory

"Alright, now that everyone knows each other, let's get down to business." Rias clapped her hands.

"Sona from Komao High School in Motokatsu Prefecture is also going to the sealing node this time, but the anomaly that Yuto discovered earlier makes me a little worried."

"So, for safety's sake, Cangna and I are going to discuss any possible contingencies so we can be prepared in case anything happens."

Rias frowned slightly: "I have a feeling that something is off about this situation. After we go to the sealed land tomorrow, let's not act rashly unless absolutely necessary. Let's just treat this as an opportunity to see what's going on..."

What followed was Rias and Shido Sona discussing the possible unexpected events that might occur the day after tomorrow. Jiang Jing, who had nothing to do, looked at Kiba Yuuto standing straight beside him and asked curiously.

"Kiba, you guys used to go to Komao High School too, right? Why did you suddenly transfer here?"

Seeing that it was Jiang Jing who asked, Kiba Yuto did not hide anything and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "This involves the minister's personal matters."

Kiba Yuto hesitated for a moment, then moved a little closer and whispered, "But you're not an outsider, so there's no harm in telling you. Actually, it's like this."

"Because pure-blooded high-ranking demons are now rare in the underworld, most of the seventy-two pillar families have lost their bloodline due to the lack of descendants to carry on the lineage."

"In order to maintain the purity of bloodline, the noble demons of the underworld have begun to intermarry. The minister, who was born into the Gremory family, is no exception. He was betrothed to another ducal family from a young age."

"As the minister was about to come of age, her fiancé would often come to bother her, which annoyed the minister who disliked him, even after they came to the human world."

"The reason I transferred here is because Kyoto is that person's territory. Without her permission, no other forces or demons or gods above the Silver Moon rank are allowed to appear."

"And demon officers below the Silver Moon level who come to Kyoto on business must be extremely careful, for fear of displeasing that person, and dare not make a fuss."

"Mizuko is right next to that person. If the department head goes to school here, he can have an easier time. It just so happens that the department head knew that person when he was a child, so he transferred here."

"That lord? Who is he?" Jiang Jing was a little puzzled, because in Kyoto he had only sensed a Silver Moon Rank at the Sky Surveillance Association base.

"Uh... I don't know either. Nobody outside knows what that person's name is. Everyone just calls him that. Only the minister has seen him." Kiba Yuuto scratched his head.

"It seems that 'that person' has recently entered the forbidden zone. Otherwise, the minister should have taken you to visit it, because that person is also an Awakener, known as the strongest Awakener below the Ten Greatest Human Powers."

The strongest awakened being below the supreme power! Where do all these "strongest" titles come from? Jiang Jing couldn't help but mentally complain upon hearing this title.

Just then, Rias and Shiki Sona finished their discussion and the topic shifted to Jiang Jing, with Shiki Sona looking at Jiang Jing curiously.

"If I'm not mistaken, Kanda-san isn't one of Rias's familiars, is she?" As a familiar of a high-ranking demon, the appearance of someone who wasn't a demon felt rather strange to her.

Because of the invention of the Demon Chess Piece, humans and other races can be easily transformed into demons while retaining their original racial form, gaining greater strength and longer lifespan on the original basis.

Therefore, most people with superpowers or those who possess artifacts would not refuse to transform into a new generation of demons.

"Yes, Sorata did not reincarnate as a demon."

"Whether someone is a demon or not is not important in my team, and Sorata prefers to be human, so I don't think it's necessary to force him," Rias said with a smile.

Of course, she wouldn't mention that Jiang Jing was an Awakened One; such a terrifying talent would be wasted if he were to be reborn as a demon, so she didn't even bring it up.

Moreover, she felt that even if she brought it up, given Jiang Jing's usual calm demeanor and the underlying arrogance that subtly revealed his disdain for everything, he wouldn't choose to reincarnate as a demon.

"Not bad, that's very much in Rias's style." Shiki Sona smiled slightly, then said nothing more, got up and took her leave.

Among the new generation of demon nobles, Rias is known for being protective of her own and kind to her familiars. Even the Dark God Crystal, a divine item that most high-ranking demons do not possess, is a standard item for each of her familiars.

Having said what needed to be said, Jiang Jing stood up and smiled, "Minister, Himejima, Kiba, and Toujou, I have something to attend to, so I'll head back now."

He hadn't forgotten his promise to Shiina Mashiro to come back for dinner.

Call me when you're leaving the day after tomorrow.

Having received such a valuable gift, Jiang Jing, who wasn't particularly interested at first, decided to go and take a look anyway. If anything unexpected happened, he could protect them as a way of repaying the favor.

"Kanda-kun, you're too kind. But since we're all on the same team, you can just call me Akeno, and I'll call you Sorata-kun," Akeno Himejima said with a smile to Jiang Jing.

Kiba Yuto, who was standing to the side, stood up and said earnestly, "Kanda-senpai, please call me Yuto. I look forward to your guidance in the future."

"Just call me Little Cat," the little girl opposite said calmly.

“That’s right, Sorata, you don’t need to be so polite. We’re all on the same team now, so you can just call me Rias from now on. Calling me Captain sounds a bit too formal.” Rias, who was sitting behind the desk, also spoke up.

Clearly, after Jiang Jing took over the core concept of the Dark God Crystal, he was completely accepted as one of their own.

"Uh, sure." Jiang Jing nodded indifferently.

Having stepped out of what appeared to be a warehouse but had in fact been converted into the base's activity room, and looking at the pitch-black night sky outside, Jiang Jing's spiritual energy distorted the light as he stealthily soared into the sky.

In the blink of an eye, Jiang Jing flew back. However, when he landed at the entrance of Sakura Manor and entered the house, he saw that the house was brightly lit and the hot pot on the table was steaming.

Meanwhile, Shiina Mashiro, Kamiigusa Misaki, Sengoku Chihiro, Mitaka Jin, and Akasaka Ryunosuke, who had appeared once before, were all sitting at the table waiting for him.

"You haven't eaten yet?" Jiang Jing asked, somewhat puzzled.

P.S.: First update, guys! Don't give your votes to the girl next door, okay? I'll let you in on a little secret: hers is bigger than yours! ^-^

I'm also getting another book through a proxy today; feel free to check it out if you're interested.

In "I'm a Demon Slayer with a Vampire Progenitor Mother," the gods used the war weapon they created, the Fourth Progenitor, to slay the Demon Ancestor Cain, and then sealed him away until thousands of years later...

Chapter 63 Senior, it's not safe outside.

"Today is the release of the second volume of my junior's work, and the first volume also sold very well despite the market downturn. How can we celebrate without you here?" Misaki Kamiigusa stood up and shouted happily.

"Junior, come here quickly."

"Congratulations, Kanda." Mitaka Jin adjusted his glasses, smiled and offered his congratulations, a hint of envy in his eyes.

When he moved here last year, Kanda Sorata was just an ordinary student, and he was far inferior to him in every aspect.

Although he never paid attention to these things, nor did he show any arrogance, he often took care of Kanda like a senior, but deep down he still had a normal sense of pride.

But who knew that after the spring break this year, Kanda Sorata would suddenly reveal an amazing talent, as if he had become a completely different person.

The fact that his first novel, which he wrote as an experiment, is now selling like hotcakes makes Mitaka Jin, who has been working hard all along, envious. Just think about how much hardship he has endured to go from an ordinary science student to a screenwriter with some fame in the industry.

"Well done, Kanda." Chihiro Sengoku was unusually sober today, her eyes were clear and filled with satisfaction.

"Go, Sorata!" Shiina Mashiro stared blankly at Jiang Jing, making a fist with her left hand in a gesture of encouragement.

"Although I read your book when it was written and thought you would succeed, congratulations anyway," said Ryunosuke Akasaka, who had long black hair and was even more beautiful than a girl.

At this moment, Jiang Jing suddenly felt somewhat uneasy about what was happening before his eyes...

"Hahaha... Thank you everyone for your blessings." With a smile on his face, Jiang Jing suppressed the slight sense of responsibility in his heart and walked over.

The lively hot pot meal lasted until ten o'clock. Seeing that Shiina Mashiro's face, which was rather unkempt, had some oil stains on it, Jiang Jing couldn't help but shake his head and put down his chopsticks.

"Wait, there's something on your face."

As he spoke, Jiang Jing pulled out a tissue and wiped Shiina Mashiro's face. Shiina Mashiro obediently stayed still and cooperated perfectly, giving Jiang Jing the illusion that he was taking care of his ignorant daughter.

The problem is, when did he even have such a big daughter? He's never even had a wife!

"Ahem... I've finished eating, you guys continue." Just then, Mitaka Jin across the table put down his chopsticks, picked up a tissue to wipe his mouth, and stood up, looking like he was about to leave.

"Are you going out tonight, senior?" Jiang Jing asked.

Mitaka Jin adjusted his glasses and smiled nonchalantly, "Yeah, I made plans with Rumi to go to her place today."

Liu Mei is a female office worker whom Mitaka Jin is dating. She is unmarried and rents an apartment in a relatively remote neighborhood.

However, just as Mitaka Jin said those words, Ueiso Misaki, who was sitting next to him, darkened her eyes and her smile suddenly looked somewhat forced, causing Jiang Jing to frown.

"Wait a minute, senior."

At the door, Jiang Jing caught up with him and patted Mitaka Jin on the shoulder, reminding him, "I've heard it's not safe outside at night lately, why don't you go out tomorrow?"

"Kanda actually cares about people now."

"Didn't I used to do that?"

“You used to only know how to complain.” Mitaka Jin waved his hand dismissively: “Don’t worry, I’m always very careful about safety.”

After saying that, Mitaka Jin opened the door and walked out with a flourish.

Standing at the door, watching San Yingren leave, Jiang Jing narrowed his eyes slightly, then shook his head and turned back.

However, when he returned to the house, only Shiina Mashiro and Akasaka Ryunosuke were sitting at the table.

"Oh dear! I'm full. I've played for two days, it's time to get back to my animation work." Misaki rubbed her stomach and ran upstairs with a clattering sound.

"The hot pot is good tonight, you guys enjoy your meal." As she spoke, Chihiro opened the refrigerator, grabbed a few cans of beer, and went back inside.

"I'm full too. I still have some code to finish." With that, Ryunosuke Akasaka put down his chopsticks, tossed his black hair, and turned away coldly into the house.

Suddenly, the once lively living room was left with Jiang Jing and Shiina Mashiro staring at each other. Suddenly, Jiang Jing realized something and called upstairs, "Hey, wait a minute, it's your turn to be on duty today, teacher."

"Oh dear! A real man shouldn't be so petty about such a small thing."

"Kanda, how can you bear to let a beautiful woman who has been busy all day and is exhausted do this?" Chihiro Sengoku's drunken voice came from above, speaking of today's failed matchmaking event with righteous indignation.

"Sorata, I'll help you." Shiina Mashiro stood up, looking at the messy table with eagerness.

"No, you can just watch from the side. I'm afraid I'll get even busier later," Jiang Jing quickly stopped him.

"Sora is annoying." Shiina Mashiro, feeling slighted, said with some dissatisfaction.

“This isn’t a bad question.” Jiang Jing rolled his eyes.

"Sora is not cute."

Do you think it's appropriate to tell a boy he's cute?

"That……"

"Don't bother with that, I'll go find you some clothes. Go take a shower first." Jiang Jing decisively sent the persistent Shiina Mashiro upstairs to take a shower, and then started tidying up the table.

Logically speaking, given Jiang Jing's dark and twisted past, even someone who has experienced the world wouldn't be so content with the status quo and just want to live a carefree life.

However, now, because of the crack in his true spirit, Jiang Jing can separate the twisted, dark side of his heart and keep it hidden deep within his soul.

It's unlikely that you'd suddenly have a world-destroying thought while walking down the street, or see a loving couple on the street and have a twisted and cruel idea like killing them and studying their souls.

Having endured countless tribulations and a hundred lifetimes of hardship... cough cough, I misspoke.

At this moment, Jiang Jing's subjective consciousness is a fusion of his personality before entering the Nightmare Space in his previous life and the personality of Kanda Sorata in this life.

Having all past memories, before being stimulated, one's personality tends to be content with the status quo, behaving like an ordinary person who has experienced ups and downs and has returned to simplicity.

Moreover, he is now thoroughly enjoying these lively and bustling days.

After tidying up the living room, Jiang Jing went back to his room, grabbed some shorts and a t-shirt, and prepared to take a shower.

"Sora, blow-dry your hair." At the top of the stairs on the second floor, Shiina Mashiro, wrapped in a bath towel, called out to Eijing.

Her long, wet, pale yellow hair cascaded over her shoulders, and her exquisite face, flushed from just having showered, possessed a stunningly beautiful charm under the light, like a lotus emerging from the water, capable of captivating a nation.
