He spent a long time in the Mirage last night studying his new abilities and was exhausted.
This also made him feel a little bad and irritable today.
For Uesugi Kiyoshi, the greatest benefit of the Mirage is not unlocking the Hundred Stories card, but the space where the Mirage is located.
In the Town of One Hundred Demons, the flow of time is different from that in reality.
Kiyoshi Uesugi conducted an experiment and found the ratio to be about five to one.
In other words, if he spent five hours in the Town of One Hundred Demons, only one hour would pass in reality.
Of course, this ability cannot be used indefinitely, as it would put a burden on his mind. With his current mental strength, he can only stay in the Hundred Demons Town for a maximum of two hours a day.
This is enough, which means that he can spend eight more hours a day than others to learn additional knowledge.
This is how he achieved his kendo level and academic performance.
Uesugi Kiyoshi also has a hard time. His kendo level determines his combat effectiveness when facing evil spirits, which is a matter of life and death, and his academic performance is related to his present and future, which is also very important. If it weren't for Mirage, he might not be able to achieve both.
The middle school he attends now is called "Haicheng High School". It is a private school funded by a large chaebol. The environment and teachers are quite good, but it was newly established not long ago and has no reputation in Tokyo, so it is eager to recruit all kinds of talented students.
In order to seduce this top student from Hokkaido with amazing academic ability, they not only waived all his tuition fees, but also promised that as long as he could consistently rank in the top three in the end-of-month tests every school year, they would give him an additional 50,000 yen in scholarships, and would also give him scholarships of different amounts based on his ranking in the final exams.
These private schools funded by chaebols are extremely wealthy and adept at using money as a weapon, which is exactly what Uesugi Kiyoshi likes.
The scholarship just covered the monthly rent, and combined with the scholarship and the part-time jobs he did on weekends and during winter and summer vacations, although it was hard and tiring, the money he earned was enough to live a normal life in Tokyo.
Mirage also contributed a lot to this. The extra time every day allowed him to maintain his advantage in his studies. Of course, this was closely related to the fact that he was also a top student in his previous life.
Kaicheng High School is located in Minato Ward. Every day, Uesugi Kiyoshi has to cross half of Tokyo to go to school. It takes nearly twenty minutes from the station to the school. The road is crowded with people, most of whom are high school students going to school.
There were also many people wearing the same school uniform who greeted Uesugi Kiyoshi. He knew some of them, and some looked familiar but he couldn't remember their names, but they all responded with a warm smile.
He has lived two lives and suffered the beatings of society, so he naturally knows the importance of treating others with a smile. More friends mean more paths, and smiling and saying hello to others doesn't cost anything, and it may come in handy in the future.
He is a well-known figure in Haicheng High School.
He was the top student in his first year of high school. He was born in a remote village in Hokkaido, but he was determined to make a comeback. In the final test of his first year of high school, his deviation value was among the best in the whole of Tokyo, which was full of geniuses. This made Haicheng High School famous. The principal was so happy that he almost fainted. Not only did he give Le Shangsugiqing a generous scholarship and a series of privileges, he also wrote about his deeds in this year's admissions handbook as a role model for freshmen, which made him famous in the school.
Plus, he's pretty good looking too.
I don’t know if it’s because of the Mirage, but his skin is very fair, and his facial features inherited from his parents are also delicate and handsome. Although he is not at the level of debuting as an idol, his appearance is considered top-notch among male high school students.
The only flaw is that he has a pair of slightly frivolous fox eyes. However, under the cover of his firm eyes trained from practicing kendo and the easy-going smile trained from two lifetimes as a human, this pair of frivolous fox eyes actually becomes a plus.
During his first year of high school, he received nearly three-digit love letters and confession letters.
He threw them all away without even looking at them.
Now is not the time to fall in love
He was different from his classmates who were enjoying their youth and releasing their hormones. Most of those classmates came from wealthy families. The tuition at Haicheng High School was not low, and it was difficult for the poor to afford it.
He has no parents, no property, no background, he has nothing.
He can only rely on himself.
He should devote his time to kendo and studies to lay the foundation for his future.
This is what he did in his previous life, and he plans to do so in this life.
Play? No, practice swordplay.
Love? No, study.
Once he is admitted to the University of Tokyo, has mastered his swordsmanship, and has fully mastered the Hundred Demons Scroll, there is no place in this huge world that he cannot go.
Wouldn't it be better to then consider finding an equally outstanding partner to spend the rest of your life with?
Why bother playing dating games with those immature high school students? What's the point other than wasting time?
You can say he is precocious or that he is straight, that's really what he thinks.
In the early spring, the sea breeze in the port area was a little chilly, which dispelled his sleepiness and made him a little more awake.
When we were almost at the school gate, there seemed to be a commotion on the side of the road. Many students from Haicheng High School were watching the commotion, pointing and chattering non-stop.
He took a casual glance and saw some delinquents with colorful hair gathered together doing something unknown.
The person surrounded in the center was a short girl wearing the uniform of Haicheng High School. She was keeping her head down and apologizing continuously.
He glanced at it and didn't pay much attention.
He is not a messenger of justice and he does not intend to take care of everything. Besides, things in this world cannot be judged by appearances alone. A group of bad guys surrounded a weak girl. Everyone's subconscious thought must be that these bad guys are bullying her, but is this really the case?
Maybe not?
He has seen those famous bad boys in Haicheng High School. They are not good people, but they are definitely not unforgivable villains. If you say that they bully boys and girls, Uesugi Kiyoshi doesn't believe it. Even if they dare to, the school will not allow it. Haicheng High School is in a rising period of career and needs to build a reputation. If those bad boys dare to make such negative news, the principal of Haicheng High School will dare to skin them alive.
The girl will probably just be scolded. Those bad guys won't do anything physical. They care about their reputation and beating women is a shameful thing for them.
Just when he wanted to turn around and leave.
A strange rhythmic sound suddenly echoed in his mind.
"Beep beep beep beep!"
As incessant as a fire alarm, his system was broadcasting a constant noise inside his head.
"Stop! What are you doing? Are you playing the suona here? I'm not dead yet!"
Pressing his temple in pain, Uesugi Kiyoshi had a thought transmitted to his mind.
"The lost demon soul of [Yingcao] has been found. Please retrieve it as soon as possible."
His system is like AI. It is definitely impossible to chat with him, but he will occasionally convey some logical information.
Just like this sentence just now.
He looked in the direction he felt and saw the short girl surrounded by bad guys.
With a resigned sigh, he turned around and walked towards where the crowd was gathering.
Chapter 6 Protection Fees
For high school students with a restless mind, it would be a waste if they don't watch the excitement.
Although those bad boys were somewhat intimidating to ordinary students, there was still a crowd of onlookers surrounding them from a distance.
Uesugi Kiyoshi followed the flow of people.
He first looked at the short girl who was surrounded in the middle.
Judging from the mark on her collar, she was a sophomore in the same year as herself.
She is very short, probably less than 1.5 meters tall. Many junior high school students may be taller than her, but her figure is surprisingly good. The exquisite curves of her body make her small school uniform look round and full, and she looks quite sexy.
Uesugi Kiyoshi couldn't see her face from the front; she was bowing to apologize, with her bangs hanging down, covering most of her face.
Her voice was very timid and soft, like a harmless little animal, and her accent sounded familiar to Uesugi Kiyoshi - the girl's accent had a hint of Hokkaido dialect.
After a little thought, Uesugi Kiyoshi finally remembered who this was.
This is his classmate, Kyoko Nohara.
Nohara Anko is a very introverted person. She doesn't like to talk and doesn't have many friends. She doesn't have a strong presence in the class. It took Uesugi Kiyoshi several seconds to remember her name.
The reason why he remembered it was because Nohara Anko's grades were very good and she was often next to him when the test results were announced.
The delinquents surrounding Nohara Anko are known to Uesugi Kiyoya, the leader of the delinquents in the next class, Tousaka Tora.
This is also a famous person. Although he is only a sophomore, he has already defeated many senior third-year students since the beginning of the school year. He has successfully defeated his superiors and is at the top of the food chain among the bad boys in Haicheng Middle School. It is said that his family is mixed up in the underworld, so he can be said to have inherited his father's business.
Toosaka Tora, with a few followers, was blocking Nohara Anko, with an impatient look on his face, cursing and saying some unpleasant things.
Uesugi Kiyoshi did not rush to rescue the beauty and stand up for Nohara Anko. Instead, he first used his "mind's eye" to take a closer look at Nohara Anko.
His mind's eyes came from the system of the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons, which claimed that "using the mind as eyes, one can see ghosts and gods, break through delusions and see through the void, and have a keen eye like a torch." Over the past year, it certainly did not disappoint him.
But after looking carefully for half a minute, he couldn't see anything about Nohara Anko that had anything to do with a "monster".
She is just a short high school girl who looks cute, dresses in a rustic way, and has a great figure.
He wanted to observe for a while longer, but the alarm in his mind started beeping again, as if urging him to do something.
The information flow from the system just now has reached his mind.
"The condition for retrieving the [Yingcao] demon soul is to obtain the recognition of the demon soul linker."
In other words, I need Nohara Anko to recognize me?
Uesugi Qing's mouth twitched, feeling a little helpless. The conditions were too vague, and he was not very good at dealing with women.
But now there is no choice but to go on with it.
Using his skill to push away Toosaka Tora's followers, Uesugi Kiyoshi put on a warm smile, squeezed in front of Toosaka Tora, and spoke softly.
"Tousaka-san, what's going on?"
"It's almost time for class. It's not a good idea to gather here. If the teacher on duty sees us, we might get into trouble."
"I've heard of Toosaka-san's reputation. He wouldn't bully a girl, would he?"
These words are also said with skill.
First of all, when he went to say hello, Uesugi Kiyoshi had a smile on his face. He had no intention of provoking these bad guys. He didn't hit a smiling person. It would be best if the matter could be resolved peacefully. Then, he brought up the title of "teacher" to intimidate these bad guys, and finally he gave Toosaka Tora a high hat. These bad guys cared a lot about their face, and it would not be a good thing for them to get the reputation of bullying women.
Sure enough, as soon as Uesugi Kiyoshi said these three words, Toosaka Tora turned around and frowned.
He was not a fool. He heard the hidden meaning behind Uesugi Kiyoshi's words. He snorted coldly and looked at Uesugi Kiyoshi with a squint.
"Huh, who was I thinking? Turns out it's Uesugi."
"What? A great hero comes to fight for justice? You want to meddle in other people's business?"
"Don't f*cking use teachers to pressure me. Do you think I'm afraid of them?"
Toosaka Tora's words sounded quite arrogant, but people who are familiar with him might feel that he has restrained himself.
If someone else were to meddle in other people's business, he might start swearing and maybe even violence, after all, hitting a man is not a shameful thing.
But he was really a little afraid of Uesugi Kiyomo.
He was a prominent figure in the school, a scholar with the best academic ability in Kyoto, and the principal's favorite. If he fought with Uesugi Kiyoshi, there was no guarantee that he would get into trouble - he was a delinquent, not a fool, so he only threatened Uesugi Kiyoshi, hoping that he would give up.
Of course, Uesugi Kiyoshi could not retreat.
